Hero Certified Burgers – Bovaird & Hurontario

Hero Certified Burgers is one of the latest trends in the quick serve segment. Conceptwise, branding and food offerings gives it 2 thumbs up. Today I ordered 2 Soul (veggie) burgers with regular poutine and 2 drinks. The burgers were pretty standard veggie burgers with that similar taste. The poutine came with their non-​beef gravy, cheese curds and not so crisp fries. The cheese melted and a 1000 strings of cheese were born! The Coca Cola freestyle machine failed 3 times when I tried to get Barqs root beer. Each time I had to wait for the computer to be reset. This was a bit frustrating but, the staff were quick to remedy the issue.
I would recommend this burger place because there are numerous flavor choices for any palate.

My go-​to burger joint. Representing the GTA in sponsoring the Leafs and Raps, you can feel good about your sports teams while devouring your juicy burger. Now to the food. With a plethora of options, Hero burger will never be boring. The burgers are flavourful, the toppings compliment the no-​hormone beef, and the buns are fresh and unique. The fries are lacking, this isn’t the place for great fries. However, their Coca-​Cola freestyle drink machine allows for thousands of drink options and customization. Service is friendly, I know two of the cashiers by name (Amber and Mona). Hero Burger is an awesome burger joint inside and outside Brampton.

Ate here early January 2015. I ordered the lobster burger. I wasn’t impressed with the burger patty (I prefer the works beef patty). What surprised me the most, was the burger was topped with a chilled lobster salad infused with mayonaise, in some areas it was nearly frozen which really took away from the burger experience. In fact, I did not finish the burger. I would rather have a lobster salad sandwich, so the two wonderful ingredients aren’t competing.
My husband on the other hand, claims its the best burger joint in town. He ordered an 8 ounce beef burger and pounded on every topping they suggested, such as turkey bacon, guacamole, fried egg, fancy cheese and peameal bacon to boot! He loved it!!!
I found the physical restaurant to be cold in temperature, which threw me off, I had to sit with my jacket on to eat. The new coke dispensing machine was really cool and had lots of drink options. Overall our lunch of two burgers, fries, onion rings and drinks (pop not beer) came to $ 40. Seems expensive for not including any cold ones. If I wanted to impress a girl on a date of how many burger toppings I can afford to eat, than would pick this place.

If you want to feel less guilty about having a burger this will work. Burgers are good, nothing overly special but if you are a fan of pop or soda then their soda machine will make you feel like a kid again. Many flavours to choose from, some I didn’t even know existed and you can mix flavours too!

I usually love Hero’s Burger, but this one on Hurontario in Brampton, a huge disappointment. Fries almost half empty and cold and the owner is extremely cheap and rude! I asked for a bbq sauce on the side for my fries (which usually is not a problem getting), well, when he heard it he became upset and showed me the place where the price for bbq sauce on the side is listed. I will never go there again! You got to learn «business» Mr. Owner! For 10 grams of bbq sauce you lost a weekly customer (if not more). Asta la vista!!!

Was terribly disappointed with the burger and fries. Perhaps I’m a bit of a burger snob but when I read about a burger being 100% Angus beef, free range, grain fed etc etc, I’m not expecting a tasteless frozen patty. The fries also tasted like frozen fries that were cooked in the oven. Soggy and not fresh. *Hightlight-​Cherry Vanilla Mr. Pibbs zero. Will not be returning.

Oddly enough, between the fries, burgers and onion rings, I find the onion rings are the tastiest item at this location.
The burgers seem greasier than I recall at a Toronto location.

How excited I was to see Hero Burger come to Brampton! There are not many places that offer a gluten free burger with a bun that actually tastes like bread, and not spongy, crumbly foam. If you are gluten free, you are likely craving a burger. Always. You see, we always want what we can’t have! So thank you Hero burger. Thank you for coming to Brampton!
Now for the downside. The only real gluten free menu is the burger & bun (yay!). The fries on the other hand share a fryer with the onion rings, so they are not gfree. Sadness. For what is a burger without fries?
It’s great to see a sign that actually dictates what is gfree, especially in terms of toppings! The coca-​cola machine is also cool with 100+ drink combinations, but you will probably find a line up, because with so many options (and many completely new options to us), people stand there for ages testing out drinks and combinations before they realize 10 people are behind them.
Price is a bit much for a burger, but pretty spot on when you figure in the quality of the ingredients :)

amazing new location of Hero Certified Burgers in the west end. High end coca-​cola machine that allows over 100 drink combinations.
