IMO it blows Boogies out of the water. i was there a couple of weeks ago and wasn't impressed, the double pattie burger i had was quite plain and extremely messy, it was almost impossible to eat it halfway though. the fries were also quite plain and it was much more expensive

How about the cheese steak from cowtown drive thru thingy on Macleod and 50th ave -ish (I'm so accurate)

I wasn't too impressed with those cheese steaks. I consider myself a connoisseur of the cheese steak.

I will have to try Rocky's burgers.

Love Rocky's. Easily my favorite in the city.

My favourite is still the "Top of the Food Chain" Triple Mix at Burger Inn.

Three patties of any combination of buffalo, ostrich, elk, lamb, pork, wild boar, beer, and (if you're lucky) mouse droppings.

HERESY. It's perfectly cooked. It's juicy as much as a well done burger can be.

yep. the beef falls apart in your mouth and isn't overly greasy like a standard fast foot burger, plus the homestyle bun they use is perfect

damnit, now i'm hungry again

Damn, I drove by this all the time a few summers ago when I worked nearby. Never stopped in, but I'm really wishing I did while I was close by.

Went to HS with "Rocky"....the things we did.

"Rocky" was one of my hockey coaches 2 years back, really nice guy.

I've heard about this place but never ate there. I'll have to try it some time.

Go back and try the beef dip. Some of the best dip I've ever had.

Rocky's is good, but I always find their burgers to be a tad on the dry side.

So on the op's link they say the Hamburger is $3 but the Cheeseburger is $5? Must be alot of cheese for an extra $2.

those prices are off. a cheeseburger, fries, and drink costs $8 flat. considering the size of the burger and the amount of fries they give you, it's a great deal

I don't even know how people can finish the double. It's utterly massive. The single fills me up for the day.

So a cheeseburger is $4? thats a pretty good deal.

[me_dennis]

hamburger $4.50,

cheeseburger $5

bacon cheese $6

I just went there for lunch today. Pretty busy, good mix of construction/blue collar and white collar/suits lined up.. interesting sight to see!

and that one girl working there YES!

Burger is huuuge! I kinda wish there was some lettuce and tomato and maybe some mayo. even more mustard would be nice. But very tasty patty, and I'll definately fall asleep after lunch

I was thinking of heading down a bit later, as I don't work today. So hopefully I can miss the rush.

Get the meat orgy!

Does anybody else figure that BaldyAuldy and Ramsayfarian are employees or are somehow envolved with this cheasesteak place?

It's just kind of weird that the first guy says the burgers are dry at Rocky's and then mentions this other place as being awesome. Then when GreatWhiteEbola says he didn't like this place, another poster comes on and tells GreatWhiteEbola to go back and try the beefdip and also takes a shot at Rocky's.

It just seems a little suspicious, especially considering both posters claim Rocky's is kind of dry, when every other person you talk to on the planet thinks they're awesome burgers, and then they both go out of there way to pump up/defend some random other place.
