A halal-friendly, value-focused burger joint with generous portions, fast service, and a few consistency and comfort drawbacks; best for casual meals and takeaway.
Kick Ass Burgers delivers solid casual burger fare with friendly, attentive service and impressively fast prep times, supported by generous portions and strong value. However, quality varies noticeably between visits—patties range from juicy to dry—and the cramped, high-stool seating limits comfort, preventing a higher grade. Best approached as a quick, satisfying neighborhood stop rather than a destination burger experience.
A small counter-serve burger spot on High Street where the vibe is casual, portions are big, and service is often friendly and fast. Expect a relaxed room with bar stools, a couple of arcade machines, and an outdoor area that is dog-welcoming but sometimes rough around the edges. As one diner put it, "We ordered at the counter and food came quick; easy, relaxed visit." The cooking is classic comfort—smash-style patties, crispy fries and onion rings, and shakes—aimed at satisfying hunger more than chasing trends. Highlights include the Classic and Spicy burgers and generous sides like poutine, though a few visitors report patties that run dry or mustard that dominates. Value is strong for the size, and halal meats plus solid vegan choices make it broadly accommodating without getting fancy. Families do fine here: there is a kids menu (cheeseburger and S.F.C.), fries, and shakes that many children enjoy. Seating is high-stool and tight, so expect a quick meal rather than a long sit-down; a reviewer even improvised a highchair solution due to table height. If comfort matters, consider takeaway.
