I am a huge fan of burgers and this place is amazing. The buns are of a good size and the meat is thick and juicy. However, the problem with the burgers are that they are extremely greasy and even as a burger lover like myself, I just can’t seem to come here too often without thinking I am going to die of a heart attack. Unfortunately these burgers are more pricier than your typical one I find myself waiting very long in line.

Their burgers are so goOooOO0d. I tried their burger for the first time 3 days ago and I couldn’t stop thinking about it for the next two days. Because I have no self control, I went to get another burger today — double this time. I’ve decided I’m not allowed to go back for a month. It is a bit greasy, but I don’t feel gross during or after my meal at all(just happiness, really) Haven’t been able to find a burger place I actually like until now. It’s a little far for me but I’ll definitely be coming back.

I went here today expecting something amazing… and I was gravely disappointed. How does a burger place NOTHAVEBBQSAUCE? Are you kidding me? Even the street meat vendors have flipping BBQ sauce. Not impressed people, not impressed. I can say however, the Option(vegetarian) which were 2 portobello mushrooms stuffed with cheese and breaded with panko crumbs was quite delicious, but it would have been better if I was able to put some sort of condiment on my «burger». I do not eat ketchup nor mustard, so my «burger» was left to be quite dry. I would have given this place and my veggie burger 5 stars– which is quite a lot of give for a veggie option but: No BBQ sauce = no 5 stars. Not impressed.

I bought«the option» burger, which is panko-crusted portobello mushroom stuff for cheese on a bunch. The level of magnificence of this burger is beyond measure. Sooo good, that it would be a crime to eat it everyday. My toppings were ketchup, mayo, tomato and lettuce. You could get just about anything on this burger and it would still taste awesome.

By far, my favourite burger place in North York, Woodbridge, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, and Markham area! The Priest Burger is soooo awesome and is my favourite on the list. They take 2 portobello mushrooms and then sandwich cheese inside it and deep fry with with panko crust. Then they add a awesome 4 to 5 oz patty and that the Priest Burger! The bun is perfect size, the beef patty is just hanging out of the bun a little bit and then it starts to get messy as you continue eating it. The cheese melts out of the portobello mushroom at a perfect rate everytime! With a single big bite, you can taste a perfect portion of each distinct layer! Everything is just so perfect about this burger everytime! My mom normally doesn’t like eating burgers, but she actually finished the first burger and asked if we could order seconds!!! If you’re a vegetarian, this is the place to go — hands down the best veggie burger you will ever have!!!

I’m not sure if it was because we got it for take away or not, but the burger was pretty damn soggy. I mean the entire buns were clear, pretty unimpressive. The meat in the burger was nice and juicy, but overall wasn’t impressed. Giving them the benefit of the doubt because of the fact I ordered it to take away and ate it 5 – 10 mins later. Won’t be eating again, fries were rubbish.

Messy burger I had. Greasy. Fattening. Messy. Still loved it though. Small joint. Order at counter… Wait for your number to be called… Sit down and dig in.

Heard a lot about«The Burger Priest». One of their many locations was the one in Vaughan. We were in the area so decided to come here for dinner. As per fellow Unilocalers recommendations, I went for: The Vatican City Burger(Double Cheeseburger Squeezed between Two Grilled Cheese Buns) Wow the buns were like 2 soft fluffy grilled cheese pillows, with the burger beef nestled in between them. Of course not the healthiest of burger, but heck I came all the way to Vaughan, I might as well go all out. It was delicious, moist meat and all the works too. Chili Cheese Fries & Plain Fries. Their fries certainly taste different, and I’m guessing it’s the oil they use. Nice crisp and has a certain yellow tint to their fries. Chili fries was loaded wth beans, grounded beef and tons of cheese on top! It was very good! Mint Chocolate Chip Shake Nice thick consistency and was quite tasty as well. Only thing was it was so thick couldn’t really suck it through the straw. Wish they had thicker straws. My husband’s order: Red Sea(Cheeseburger with Chili on Top) He said it was ok, but said the burger fell apart on him. But I think it’s inevitable when it’s like a sloppy joe filling. Grape Cremesicle He didn’t really like the combination of the two. Said it tasted weird. Overall, I enjoyed it and would probably come back with some friends to try other burgers of theirs.

The service was a bit slow(there was about 3 customers ahead of me only and they only ordered a burger each). When I finally got my burger it wasn’t even warm let alone hot, the buns were cold. I had ate at burger priest before at their downtown location and remember that the cheese would ooze out of the veggie patty, but at this location it did not. The cheese had already cooled down and was getting cold. I probably would not return to this location.

Thought i should give this a review to follow up with my previous one. This was my second visit here and both times my burger was tasty, cooked right and NOTSOGGY. Went for the cheeseburger both times. Fries nice and crisp. Very satisfied with the burgers!

My favourite burger in the world! I think it depends what kind of burger you’re into, to say this place is a 5. To me it’s the best because the burger is so juicy and the bun that they use is soft and tasty. When I bite into it, its heaven. It is a bit greasy and Holy Chuck is the closest burger I can think of, but I prefer this burger place. The only thing I wish is that they are bigger in portion and that if they can be a bit less pricey. The first place I’ve been to is the one by the Beaches, I believe. That place had long line up, down the street already. I want to go back here again!

Do yourself a favour and go to their downtown location, because it’s much much better. Te service was very slow, and their burgers didn’t taste as good as the ones I ate downtown, even though I ordered the same thing. Such a shame!

Ive been to burger priest before and had ordered the same thing, The Vatican with all the toppings. My girlfriend had picked me up this burger the other day and boy it was a flavourful burger! Thanks babe :) The burgers are on the pricey side($ 10 + tax for one burger. No drink or fries incl.), but it was filling! I personally recommend eating it in the restaurant if possible and not to go because it taste so much better off the grill. This burger had two hand made patties and grilled cheese sandwiches as the buns. One thing that i love when i eat a burger is grease and they got it! It was seeping through the bag a bit aha. If you have ever tried holy chucks burgers as well i keep them on par. Maybe even leaning towards holy chucks a bit more!

With a name like Burger’s Priest, I had to try it at least once. I notice nowadays that places like these don’t really have combos with the usual fries and drink, but tend to charge for each separately. Looked online before visiting and saw the infamous«secret menu» sans pricing. Arrived and still decided to just try something off of the menu instead and maybe try one off the secret menu another time. We both ordered the High Priest and loved it. Flavourful enough and average portions. A bit on the pricey side to be honest. The fries were good, but a little small as I will assume it was the end of the bag or something. I would say that it was definitely worth the drive up to try, but I wouldn’t make myself a regular here as I would probably go broke if that was the case. These burgers are nice once in awhile I suppose. Will be back eventually.

I literally felt my arteries clogging as I chomped on this deliciously unhealthy burger. The Vatican is a cheese burger wedged between two grilled cheeses. That sounds like death doesn’t it? Well, it also tasted like it. I can’t deny that it was good, but I felt my arteries clogging as I ate this burger. It’s definitely an interesting concept, but I don’t think I’d ever attempt to eat the whole thing by myself again. It was so filling that I couldn’t finish my chili cheese fries :(which made me pretty sad. My meal with a drink, burger, and fries came out to about $ 20, which is a bit pricey in my opinion. I thought it was pretty clever that you had to know a couple answers to a few questions to access their secret menu online.

I don’t get it. First you have to get over the novelty of going on their website to get their«secret menu». Sorry… I’m not overly religious and have no idea how long Noah was on the Ark for. After guessing 3 times at answers, I finally got onto the menu. While some of the combinations are interesting, nothing leapt off the webpage at me and certainly nothing worth making customers visit their website to get their«secret» menu. The burgers are moist, which therein lies the problem. If you get them to go… by the time you get to your destination, the bun is almost inedible. Overpriced for what you get, I won’t be bothered going back again… unless someone is new to the neighbourhood and wants to see what the hype is all about. I don’t get it…

Don’t know why its taken me so long to try Burgers Priest… I love burgers and I also work pretty close to the ones downtown. Really liked this place. The patty was delicious. Maybe one of the best patties that I’ve had. The bun was pretty good too. I ordered the High Priest… its kind of like a big mac with 2 huge delicious patties for $ 10. I don’t think I’ll get that particular burger again since I can get a Big Mac for a lot cheaper. But I also tried my wife’s burger(Magnum), which was amazing. Don’t really like these fries(I’m picky about fries). The fries are huge though. One serving is more than enough for 2 people Lotsa reviews mention the prices are high, But I felt they were pretty fair. There are a bunch of burgers for under $ 10. And the fries, drinks etc are reasonable. Theres quite a bit of seating, but the restaurant did fill up when I visited on a Sat night. Plenty of parking. Accepts credit card.

I don’t get the hype. Probably because I can’t eat dairy, which is the secret ingredient in everything. I settled on a plain old hamburger and was pretty underwhelmed by the quality of the patty. There was really nothing special about it. I totally forgot about the secret menu and perused it when I was eating. Everything was pretty cheese-heavy. The fries were really good, but that was about it.

Forgive me father for I have sinned. Yes gluttony is a sin. I finally gave in to the hype and decided to try the Burger’s priest. I had to find out if it lives up to its hype. Cashier recommended the Vatican city burger. I suppose that’s their most famous burger as most Unilocalers seem to order it. Burger was served in a doggy bag and was greasy everywhere. I loved it. Praise Jesus! Not sure if the burger was served on a fried bun or pancakes. There supposed to be veggies in there somewhere but I couldn’t taste them over all that grease. I appreciate the extra napkins handed to us. Quick, friendly service. Location is spotless clean. Catholic themed. I was a little intimidated to be honest. $ 15 Burger’s priest hat, perfect for fanboys. Ya I’m a fan. But to be fair I will eat anything covered in grease(Girls, don’t get any ideas in your heads)

One thing that keeps me coming back to this place is their consistency. They have good toppings, nice chewy bun, good portion size, but a little on the pricier side. In my opinion, I enjoyed ‘The Option’ more than their regular burger. Wait times are fair, there wasn’t so much seats, but most of their customers do take-out orders anyways, I like how their patties are juicy and burgers are delicious. If I were to compare this to Fresh Burger though, I still believe Fresh Burger is better. Both places offer great consistency and these 2 places are the best burger places for me.
