Buger Inn burgers are big and sloppy which is just how burgers should be. They also offer swiss cheese which is a crucial requirement. You can also sample a variety of other meats there - Venison, Bison, Ostrich. Personally I prefer good 'ol Alberta beef but its interesting to try a burger of a different breed sometimes.

Burger Baron in Raymond, nothing comes close to it.

Harveys is really good.

I actually never tried Boogie Burgers. What kind of special burgers do they have?

I remember Willys burgers. Is there still one in Calgary

I used to like Harveys - until they started putting them inside Home Depots. Usually staffed by a bunch of slack jawed teens with no managers in sight. Terrible service and food. That and I like eating at something more than a stool at a counter sometimes.

The best burgers I've ever had were from this trailer turned burger joint at the Otter Bay ferry terminal on Pender Island (one of the Gulf Islands between Vancouver Island and mainland BC). SOOO good.

What's that place on 16th that everyone raves about. Pete's -something-, I think?

Blah, we've been down that road. I really want to try that Burger truck in the N.E. industrial area.

In-N-Out Burger. By far the best burgers from a chain restaraunt on the face of the planet. Now if they'd only expand past Las Vegas!

Just about the only thing I miss from my 2 years in Southern California.

I recommend the Pizza Burger at Boogies (mozza cheese and pizza sauce) with a fried egg added to it. Mmmmmmm.

I think all the Willy's have shut down which is too bad. They were good too.

CB's Drive In (if still open) is another good one.

If you mean the burger bus in the northeast industrial area its quite good, prices are good as well. Burgers are homemade, thick, very good. Its in the N.E. just up center ave from Hertz rentals on Barlow.

Maybe I'm biased because I work there, but I like the burgers at the Den at the U of C. They are huge burgers.

Angels Drive Inn in bowness is pretty good.
And a summer joint in Didsbury but I haven't been there in ten years or so,so I could be wrong on that.

VANFLAMESFAN · 05-29-2005, 07:38 AM

Wally's Burgers on Kingsway, just east of Victoria in Vancouver........home of the Deluxe Wagon...2 patties, 2 cheese, special relish and all the other fixings on a Hoagie style roll.........sloppy and delicious at the same time.......definitely if anybody comes this way, check it out

SoulOfTheFlame · 05-29-2005, 10:00 AM

Best Burger joint ever: Sizlers (not the chain) Yonge n College St. Toronto.

This is so so so true.
In and Out burger in California is by far the greatest burger I've ever had.

Crazy Americans should expand to up north.....

Maritime Q-Scout · 05-29-2005, 01:08 PM

in Calgary I don't know,

however

VJ's Drive In, in Winnipeg is really good, greasy, cheap, and mmmmmmmm

I'm not overly fussy on burgers, to me a burgers a burger, mind you it's the diners and dives that seem to have the best ones (I had a burger in the diner in the Beri-UQAM Metro Station in Montreal about 6 years ago that was stellar)

I'm told the Steel City in Sydney, and Main Event in Glace Bay have unreal burgers, but I've never had them
