Craft Burger

573 King Street West and 830 Yonge Street
Toronto, Ontario

Craft Burger, in my mind, can only be described using one word: classic.

In every sense of this word, Craft Burger encompasses just that. Keeping the restaurant small, and comfortably authentic, Craft declares their hand crafted burgers are made from fresh Ontario AAA beef, and are made fresh daily - never from frozen.

Charbroiled on a soft and fresh sesame seed bun, topped with your tomato, lettuce, pickle, mustard and ketchup basics, Craft has achieved success in their promise to deliver an original, yet accomplished, burger. However, feel free to be a little adventurous, and choose from some of the Craft "signature" burgers, whose tastes are a little more glamorous. Among the celebrity toppings, you'll find melted gorgonzola cheese, avocado, roaster red peppers, chipotle or rosemary and garlic mayonnaise.

No booze is served here, which although I wish weren't the case, I can't complain. Try one of their straight-from-the-1950's milkshakes which are, dare I say, even better than a diner's.

To be honest, with each bite and each sip, my impressiveness grew at how perfectly Craft is able to execute the time-honoured perfection of flavours that a only a classic burger can possess. Although the price is just a tad upscale, you get what you pay for here...and it's worth it.
