Slab Burgers

I’ve been totally spoiled from gourmet burger shacks in Toronto, but I didn’t realize the extent of this until I ordered food from Slab Burgers. I’ve been here a few times and tried out their menu, which consists of burgers (+an abundance of free toppings), drinks and sides. Waiting time for their food is around ~10 minutes, and it’s much better if you bring it home to eat.
Their patties are incredibly… black? The meat is charred and a little dry. It’s better if you pile on the toppings to mask the taste, but if you pick onions bear in mind they are raw, not cooked. I tried their black bean burger– a dry, unappetizing affair– with their whole wheat bun. The poutine contains floppy fries that are a tad tasteless, which is the direct opposite of the crispy and salty fries I love.
In the future I will use the website orderit so that I don’t have to sit around and wait for the chefs to finish cooking, and will not order any of their vegetarian burgers. Perhaps their other sides will taste better as well? It’s a very average burger place for when you need a quick food fix.

More like FAB Burgers!
No, not really. It’s just ok. The free topping are pretty great.

I liked this place alot. Came here to try during burger week and his this one burger with pineapple slaw. It was greasy and delicious.

Upon entering this small burger place, I felt a bit overwhelmed by the bright lit menu above the counter. It was definitely a whoa moment, but that disappeared quickly as we were greeted by the friendly staff member behind the counter who welcomed us warmly and was ready to take our order.
The fact that I was hungry, it only took me a little while to decide on ordering the double slab burger with bacon and cheese combo that included fries and a drink for $ 12.79. Any lunch under $ 15 always good for me.
The best part of this place was the abundance of free toppings I was able to choose from for a burger my way. The burger was absolutely delicious since I selected my own toppings which blended nicely together. The burger was meaty, tasty and full of flavour that I enjoyed every bite. The fries on the overhand wasn’t as great. It could use a bit more crispness, plus no amount of ketchup helped with the taste. Perhaps next time I’ll upgrade for the onion rings.
I will definitely be back to try another burger my way.

This place makes really good burgers, but if you eat it there you will 100% smell like grease and burgers afterward

Burgers are made to order, lots of toppings and unlimited refills on pop.
Standard combo came out to $ 10.72 after taxes.
Fries were great too, Can add .69 cents more for onion rings instead.

We ordered this through Just Eat — (a first) and it came in lighting speed which was great because all we wanted were fast burgers for a lazy day.
I ordered the standard bacon cheeseburger with crispy onions (a great no cost option) with the hot pepper relish (which was very hot and a bit overpowering) next time i’ll get it on the side. The burger was delicious and satisfying — not your over the top crazy burger and wasn’t huge either which was nice (you can upgrade the amount of patties etc — but not really necessary portions are too big in this world these days).
The onion rings were perfect — the fries were cooked great but they were all tiny pieces like bottom of the fry bag stuff.
All in all great options and quick service would definitely order again.

Slab Burgers is absolutely delicious. Have been there twice in the past week just to try a few different things on the menu. I highly suggest getting the hotter than hell poutine (if you can handle the heat). It’s loaded with gravy, cheese curds, jalapeño peppers, banana peppers, and topped off with some Cajun spice. I always go for the double burger with cheese loaded with some of the many toppings that Slab Burger has to offer.
The staff are always nice and the food is always fresh! I would suggest calling in an order ahead of time because it can get a little busy from time to time.

A friend and I decided to hit Slab Burgers before a movie at the Varsity, and I’d already tried it a couple of times before and enjoyed it, so I was hoping for a similar experience.
The first thing we noticed is that the space has gotten smaller since our last visit last year. The place was empty, so perhaps this is a money-​saving tactic. Anyway, I ordered a single burger with cheese and a pretty wide selection of toppings, while my friend ordered a combo.
We took a seat and waited. And waited. Even though we were the only customers, it took about 10 minutes for the food to arrive. When it finally did come, the fries were piping hot but the burgers were room temperature (at best). I’m not sure how long the burgers were just sitting there waiting for the fries to be ready, but the cook should, at this point, have a better system for ensuring everything arrives at hot.
The barely-​warm patty was fine, if unspectacular. There was an attempt at a crust but it had either been made soggy by the toppings or it just wasn’t cooked enough. The end result was an edible but far-​from-​memorable burger. And given that it cost me around $ 8, I was certainly a little disappointed. The fries were amazing, though.
I’ll give the place another chance sometime, but I’m not in a rush.

It was good. Not amazing, but good. I had the triple bacon cheeseburger. I like the feeling of the calorie-​infused artery clogging burger just as much as everyone else. This was THE ONE. I liked it. However, the only thing it lacks is flavoring in the actual meat. I understand it is just a burger, but it isn’t spectacular and I feel like they have the potential to be it. Also, the onion rings definitely taste better than the fries.

It seems Slab got it together with the few minor complaints i had. Their gravy has gone from bland to delicious, and their bacon is now much thicker. I don’t know if i caught them on an off day, or if they actually took my suggestions into consideration but i’m a big fan of this place now, really tasty burgers, fried just the way i like them.

This place has long been on my list of burger joints to try. As I was walking along Bloor street, I decided to try this place out for lunch. I ordered the American Single Bacon burger combo and it came to just under $ 12 including tax. Pretty decent price.
How was the food you ask? Burger was fresh, meat was decent, but not outstanding. I would equate it to Harvey’s/Hero Burger hybrid. As for the fries, while they were freshly cut, I found them to be too dry and overcooked.
Verdict: Meh, but decent if you are in a jam and don’t know what to eat.

I like the free topping choices here and it beats Hero Burger in terms of value. However, the burger is average and not life-​changing. I’ve tried the poutine which was okay though it lacked seasoning and the fries could be crispier.
It usually takes a long time for them to prep your order and this isn’t a great place to sit down and eat so I always resort to take-​out. It’s a convenient place for me to fulfill a burger craving but I definitely wouldn’t go out of my way for a visit.

Quite good grub…
Our first visit here & we tried veggie & wild Alaskan burgers (burgers only no combo).
Both were good with fresh taste, nice option of free toppings & nice buns.
Any day much better than hero burgers. Will visit again

Love the idea of free toppings to your hearts content. Veggie burger was store bought crap. Regular burger was okay. Doesn’t blow your mind though in any sort of way. Kind of like A&W nothing more. Wouldn’t make special plans to eat here

One of THE best burgers I have ever had in Toronto. Love the free toppings. Excellent bacon cheese burger!

Really good burger, fresh, no extra charge for a variety of toppings (including delicious sautéed mushrooms).
Took a bit long to be my order (20−25minutes) but worth it.
Amazing fries but a bit too much salt.

A group of us came here for burger week and most of us got the Crispy Hawaii Burger which was supposed to be topped with pineapple chunks, crispy onions and crunchy bacon.
The other burger week option was the wasabi burger with wasabi mayo and lettuce.
The meat was okay, pretty good quality but under seasoned and kind of small compared to the size of the bun. The bun was probably the best part though some of my friends didn’t think it paired well with the meat. All the toppings were in a heap in the middle of the burger and their flavours were kind of underwhelming. When you finally bit into the heap of toppings in the middle, it was SO much you couldn’t taste any meat. The fries were WAY overdone and tasted like they were either re-​fried or that they were using REALLY old oil.
There is no seating and the entire space is outrageously greasy — you feel like you need to have your pores scrubbed after waiting in line for 5 minutes (and since the service was so slow we were all in there for at least 20 min).
We were all pretty disappointed, even the guys who got the double said they were still hungry after. I know it’s a discount burger during burger week but you’d think they would try and impress people so that we would come back, no?

Well above average burger for an average price.
Had a single SLAB with cheese. Sesame bun toasted and smashed patty cooked perfectly with good crust on both sides from cooking on the flat top.
Decent selection of toppings include a couple non-​standard toppings: sautéed mushrooms and habanero sauce!
Didn’t have any sides but the poutine looked standard and done properly. One minor thing with the menu was I wasn’t able to find the Onion Rings so I didn’t think they had them. After I paid I saw a small flyer that said they did. Oh well, next time. I’ll definitely be back!
There aren’t many good burger joints on Bay Street so this one wins by default. It would take a serious competitor such as Burgers Priest or Holy Chuck though…

Place was convenient from my work place and opened late.
Ordered a double slab burger. Patties were moist and joocey to the bite. Toppings were free. Everything was fresh from the bun to the patty to the toppings.
