I judge the greasiness of a burger by how long I am still hacking up the grease that has coated my throat. Five Guys and Rocky's were easily the worst. Although, on reflection some of the new Jack in The Box offering were pretty bad (bad in a good way) with the butter-soaked buns or whatever they called them.
Still though, I didn't feel Boogies were overly greasy, just that wrapping the burgers up for any length of time pretty much resulted a soggy, almost liquified bottom half of the bun.
Haven't tried the chili fries. Boogies or Five Guys? I thought they only had spicy fries at Five Guys.

I used to live right behind Boogie's (literally the house behind it) and ate there a lot as a result. I found their burgers to be really messy and would usually fall apart halfway through. The only way I could keep it together was not ever putting the burger down until it was done. Kind of a hassle, but they were pretty tasty burgers. And their onion rings were fantastic.

Made it out to Naina's a couple weeks ago and their burgers were surprisingly not greasy at all. Very good burgers. The 30-45 minute wait kind of sucked, but can see why the place is swamped. Wasn't the best burger I have ever had, but definitely up there.

I had the Calgary Burger at O Burger in the Bow building. Really enjoyed it (patty, chili, fries, and cheese curds). I would probably put them in the same category as smash burger.

The Seoul (Korean topping) burger there is surprisingly good for downtown food court. Fries are meah, but the burger is good.

On the weekend I was able to try boardwalk burgers. Its on par with south street burgers. Not amazing but better than the big 4 burger places.

Tried the peppered bacon burger at A&W for lunch yesterday. Then again today. Maybe tomorrow.
It's good

I had Smash Burger for the first time a couple days ago. It was underwhelming.

Remember a few months ago, it was said that Carl's Jr was going to be opening a Calgary location "near SAIT" sometime this summer?
Summer is soon going to be here, and there doesn't appear to be any construction going on anywhere near SAIT, either to build a new restaurant or convert an existing building.
Has anyone heard anything more about that?

I would agree that Boardwalk is on par with Southstreet. Except I think Southstreet is overpriced crap. Those are probably two of the most disappointing fast food burger places I've been to.

The plus for Southstreet is that they serve New York Fries, which IMo are some of the best fries you can buy.

I don't mind NY Fries but at the end of the day they are just fresh cut fries no different than say Five Guys fries.

Had myself some Shake Shack in Chicago last week - outstanding! One of the best burgers I've had, particularly from a chain.

Yep, I'm not much of a burger eater, but tried it last night, and it was damn good.

Just an FYI, if you're around there's a Burger cook-off happening in Bridgeland (outside of Main Dish) this afternoon. 4 different burgers...the one i had was quite awesome.
