London Burgers

Stand out (old school) burger, and definitely the same recipe as the previous owners but the new owners haven't quite put it together. The old guy could get busy without making a mistake, but the new staff have been overwhelmed during the lunch rushes. It's definitely one of the better burgers in London (if you get the actual London burger), but the staff needs to get it together.

Had been told about this London staple for awhile and finally decided to check London Burgers out. Relatively low foot traffic on a holiday but expect to be much more popular regularly. 8oz London Burger ($8.49+tax) was charbroiled as I wanted and loved the variety of ingredients to choose from. Burger chef asked if I wanted the burger cut in half to share with my partner, which was a nice customary touch. Also ordered a large onion ring ($6.49+tax) and was satisfied by portion and the nice crunch. Ask for ketchup and plastic forks if you don't want to get your hands dirty like me. Will definitely come again.

It's all true, London Burger (LB) is "the" Mecca for the best burgers in this region. With their open kitchen concept, you can watch exactly how your order is being prepared.  Take, for example, the creation of the 8oz London Burger... (that's half a pound!).   A 8oz patty is slapped on a flat grill until  perfectly seared on both sides before being moved to the open flame grill and cooked to perfection with that charbroiled taste. I betcha they're using 100% ground chuck!  Yummy!!! I've been going to London Burger for pretty much a decade  now  and have tried just about everything on their menu and  it's all good. Much of LB'a success is two-fold:  1)  fresh, fresh fresh ingredients; and 2) they know what they are doing, all the workers are experienced. There have been some changes at London Burger in the last couple years.  Most notably their breakfast menu is now history.  I used to love going in on Saturday mornings for their breakfast special consisting of two eggs in any style,  your choice of  sausage or bacon and a very generous portion of their famous homefries.   Those days are gone but alas,  life goes on.  Also, there have been some pretty cool renovations inside giving the interior a warm and cozy feeling. When school is in, much of the clientele comes from CCH or Beal Secondary School, a popular place for the high school students .  So expect good sized line ups  during school hours, but the wait is worth it. Today's treat from London Burger was a Hot Dog.  Yep, and I kid you not... a Hot Dog. Something light and tasty with that char-flamed taste yet next to impossible to find in this City.   Delicious, just absolutely delicious!  These Hot Dogs don't get their fair share of reviews here and deserve honorable mention. Service is exceptionally friendly in this family run business.
