Hero Certified Burgers' Queen West outpost has something its cramped downtown siblings lack: space. Taking over what was the old MissBehav'N (and Boom Boom Room way back in the day) this Heroic location is well situated to capture Queen West’s young and ravenous. What is certified about Hero’s is the 100% pure Angus Beef (vs. the cardboard of fast food chains) that comes on a 4oz to 8oz patty (if you’re looking for a heart attack). Custom toppings - 5 cheese sauce, Canadian Cheddar, Smoked Provolone, Avocado or Olive Spread, Coleslaw, Sauteed Mushrooms, Baked and Seasoned Zucchini or Eggplant - are mildly inventive but pretty much are on all gourmet sandwiches in Toronto so it’s a natural transition they start popping up on burgers too. At least the hipsters on Queen West have an alternative to the McDonalds down the street at Spadina. - E.J. |

7 Reader Reviews | I dined at Hero Burger a few days after I ate at Craft. Sorry to say it failed in comparison! The food was less than average, service was non existent to say the least! If you want a good burger with a little twist, definitely try Craft!

Yum! Im always there to get the spicy burger, but every burger i ever get from there is absolutely phenomenal. Every time i take a friend, they always end up getting hooked. Love this place!

Loved the food, organic products, great service (the man who owns the joint is almost always on cash & super friendly). Because they cook the burgers once you order it, it takes about 5 minutes for it to come to you but the owner brings it to your table (if I'm remembering correctly)
The Hero sauce is really good and poutine is great. $8=Combo (w'4ounce burger). I'm satisfied, maybe not as good as Craft burgers, but a tight close second.

Let's hope Hero improves the quality with the new burger spots opening up. Not the greatest burgers in town. I don't even think they care.

The "perfect burger" hunt continues and this the third or fourth burger joint I have tried so far. Family friendly and owned, the burger was pretty good. Decent toppings, although not as well-done as ordered, the hamburger patty was great, the bun huge. The other options looked good and the cooks were over-worked.

Despite the market hype of a seriously-made, all-beef Angus burger, disappointment was my immediate reaction to the lack of taste behind the oddly textured patty. No complaints on the tasty and fresh bun, though the special hero sauce wasn't quite up my alley.
The fries are not bad at all, fresh tasting and not too greasy at all - a nice change from fast food fries.
All in all, the highly priced experience was worth trying once, but I do not expect to return anytime soon.
