The Burgh - Thorold, Ontario

Delicious food, amazing service, only held back by the location.

I got the Mac Daddy burger, fries with dill dip, and a Frostie root beer. The burger held together much better than I expected considering it's basically an entire barbecue dinner on a burger, and it was delicious. The fries were the perfect mix of crispy outside and fluffy inside.

Stephanie is super knowledgeable about everything on the menu, and an absolute sweetheart. She's gonna do everything in her power to make sure you have a good experience.

The location is the only down side, but I am heavily biased against bar settings. There are tables available outside (weather permitting), and in the bar, but neither are overly comfortable. I'd suggest grabbing your food and a drink then heading to one of the many benches around town if you don't like the available seating options.

Definitely a spot you should try out if you like good burgers, just don't expect a typical restaurant experience because it isn't your typical restaurant. It would probably be a perfect 5 star if I enjoyed a bar setting more.

Heard great things, so hit up The Burgh hoping to be delighted but unfortunately we were quite disappointed.

On arrival we were surprised to learn The Burgh doesn't have it's own dining area - orders are placed at The Burgh which is a small area with a cash station and chalkboard menu. Then you have to go to the pub next door for service. Totally fine, we paid for our food order with credit and made our way down the street to the pub next door.

The pub is cash only for drinks and decor minimalistic. Food arrived promptly through a shared staff entrance but the burgers were incredibly greasy and not at all what we'd expected. The cheese burger had several types of cheese piled on but the most prominent was cheese whiz. I understand it was a cheese burger, so heavy on the cheese, but would you put spam on a meat sandwich?

We left two of our three burgers uneaten. The lady who served us was kind and tried to course correct; unfortunately the burgers just weren't for us. I will say we scored the last Jamaican patty and it was absolutely delicious. Sadly with all of the other food left uneaten, it's hard to justify $80 spent on three burgers and a Jamaican patty.

We were expecting a fun pub night with tasty food. It's not at all what we experienced. Very disappointed!

Stephanie is amazing. First time there and didn’t know about the no dining area but definitely enjoyed eating in the bar next door. Burgers were amazing, fries and Jamaican patty also. Didn’t get to try any sandwiches with their focaccia but Stephanie gave us some to bring home - it’s also amazing. I understand it’s not for everyone looking for the entire “restaurant” experience but for a great burger and fries, it’s awesome.

Wow! I just finished my burgers. My girl and I split a “Nutter” and a “Cobfather”. Both were absolutely delicious! The meat was juicy and cooked perfectly. The best I’ve had in a long time. The fries were perfect and seasoned properly. Thank you for an incredible lunch!🙏

A good friend and I set out to try each of the 'Top Ten Burger Places in Niagara', as published in the St. Catharines Standard in June.
The Burgh was our first stop - a great start!
Upon arrival, you would think it's only a take-out place but, after you place our order and pay, you are directed to sit at the bar next door and they bring your order to you.
The burger was excellent and the fries were even better!

By far one of the best burger joints I’ve been too, I had the big cheese and was not disappointed, bursting with flavours! This place is a takeout however on a nice day, they do have some chairs outside to sit on, and the staff working were extremely friendly!

Hands down the best burger I’ve had in a really long time. The Burgh might be a small spot, but the flavour is HUGE. The burger was perfectly juicy, full of flavour, and just downright delicious. We also had the fries on the side and they were just as amazing—crispy, golden, and seasoned to perfection. Everything was hot, fresh, and clearly made with care. Nothing but great things to say about this place. Can’t wait to come back!

I placed a catering order for sandwiches and patties for my sister's baby shower. Everyone loved the food! Stephanie was amazing to work with and would highly recommend for your next catering event
