Holy Burgers

We drove a few minutes off the hwy to try these burgers and were not disappointed. We had double smash burgers with cheese and all the fixings and they were delicious. Fries on the side were flavourful and you didn’t need to dip them in anything. The OOO sauce on the burgers was subtle but delicious. We ate in and the restaurant was clean and the staff were friendly (and patient with our broken French attempts, thanks). Get lots of napkins! Well worth it.

Came for the high ratings left pretty disappointed. From the photos of other reviews and with the look of the branding I assumed this place was inspired by and designed to compete with a place like Shake Shack (a top 3, or top 5 tier smash burger joint in the USA) but somehow, even with Holy Burger's freshly made fries, the place still disappointed. Service was quick, the place was clean but I had a Simple Smash burger with a poutine -and for some reason the burger had been unnecessarily cooked with some kind of sweet bbq sauce and had more lettuce than anything else. I say "unnecessarily" but upon reflection, if it didn't have that sauce, I think the burger would have been almost tasteless (that or, my tastebuds were numbed by the first bites of poutine (read on, why)). The poutine had so much potential; fries looked real (not frozen) and it had a nice brown sauce -if it wasn't overly loaded with salt. Sooooo much salt. I know the general public "likes salt" and I appreciate it when it's used to accentuate a dish, but I always make a point to bring it up when all I taste is salt, to the point where it almost burns your palate and makes you chug an entire bottle of water before the meal is done. The only redeeming thing about this visit was the burger bun itself, it was fresh, moist and as far as burger buns go, it was heaven (and the sole reason why I didn't leave 1 star). This isn't to say that I won't try Holy Burgers again in the future and if I do, I will update this review but if you're someone looking at this place thinking "hey this looks as good as Shake Shack" -its not. It's not deserving of its (current) 4.6 rating, a 3.9 or 4 would be more suitable. But hey, I'm not a food critique, I'm just another regular customer who has an opinion. Take it with a grain (or spoonful of salt).

The food is great, the French fries are amazing, on the other hand, a little expensive. I ate with my kids and husband, and spent 82$, for hamburgers, it's a little bit of. Not too many places to sit, so don't go in rush hours. I loved the theme, the decor, and the ambiance is very cute.
