![]() My memory, from my many-years-ago visit, was that the burger was meatloaf style. ![]() ![]() Toppings are laid out behind the glass I went with pickles, tomato and mayo. I got the homemade burger as a combo with fries and a drink, and it came out to just over eleven bucks, so it’s neither particularly cheap or overly expensive.Īfter a wait of several minutes (I think my wait was a bit longer than average because of the man with the enormous take-out order) my burger was ready. The menu features a hamburger and a “homemade all star burger.” When asked what the difference was, I was told that the regular burger is just a plain old frozen burger, and the homemade burger features a six ounce patty that’s made in-house. I came around lunchtime and there was a fairly sizable line-up to order, including a guy placing a takeout order for at least a couple of dozen people. There’s no mistaking Golden Star for anything but an old-school burger place it’s clean and not run-down at all, but it has the general layout and decor of an establishment that was built years before many of its customers were born. However, after its tenth-place finish on Toronto Life’s list of the top 25 burgers in the city (and its status as one of only four dedicated burger joints to make the list), my interest was piqued. I was in no rush to go back, even to review it for this blog. Before writing this review I had been to Golden Star once, several years ago, and my hazy recollection of the burger was that it was fine, but nothing special.
