The Long Story
So here is an older review of Burger Shoppe’s quarter-pound “baby” burger.
Having already reviewed the ambience and service in my previous post on the Riverdale location of Burger Shoppe, I’ll get right into the burger.
Beef Nerds: The baby burger patty at Burger Shoppe is thinner than the regular one, but still fresh and juicy. I was particularly hungry that day and this was a side-snack to my main course burger, but for anyone looking for a light meal or something to satisfy a quick craving, this burger would hit the spot on its own. The beef was flavourful, tender, and medium-grind. Not too much evidence of spicing, but the beef itself had good flavour and didn’t need too much complement. The toppings were pretty much the standard burger toppings, but of course you can pick and choose as you like from the default toppings Burger Shoppe puts on their sandwiches. All in all, a tasty snack or light meal on its own.
All in all, I liked my baby burger snack at Burger Shoppe, and since my first experience there almost two years ago I’ve gone back and enjoyed the same thing several times. If you’re in the Queen/Broadview area and looking to grab a meal on the go (or standing at the lunch counter for some quick people-watching), you won’t go wrong at this tiny, tasty shoppe.
