Having a hard time remembering a burger place I've been meaning to try from CP recommendations. It had been recommended as one of the best burger places in Calgary. Someone even mentioned it in a random thread recently. I believe it was a downtown or Kensington area independent place.

Burger Inn, maybe?

Burger Inn is on 4th St SW. It's pretty good but not amazing.
Perhaps you are thinking of Burger 320? I think they shut down their Kensington location but are still in Bridgeland.
Or there is Flipp n Burger in Kensington.

Flipp’n is good. Burger Inn, at least what was on Macleod Tr, was weak. Kind of reminded me of a worse version of Peter’s.

Lil Empire is about the best place on Calgary, Pigot Burger is good too especially with those tots.

After that I can’t say there is a place I would really go out of my way to try.

I wonder if they would have been better off staying at the old location. It was a dive but the 17th avenue location wasn't great especially with the construction going on and depending on the Flames for business doesn't seem like a great business model. Great burgers and poutine though.

Talk to me about Triple O's. Finally going to give it a try this week I think as the 52 Street SE location is close by.

I live near both Boogies and Lil' Empire (Bridgeland) and I have to give it to Boogies every time for the price and portion size to deliciousness ratio. Lil' Empire is good though and I do love Empire Provisions.

It's pretty good. A basic american burger. You have to figure out if you like their sauce, as that flavor is quite dominant.

I like it. It competes well as a fast food option.

Was good. I had the pizza burger and wife had the buttermilk chicken burger and we were both impressed. Garlic parm fries topped it off. We'll be back.

I didn't know about the Pizza Burger.

"Made with 100% fresh Canadian beef, Genoa-style salami, crunchy mozza sticks, banana peppers, mayonnaise and a zesty pizza sauce!"

Oh my.

Finally tried iyycburger (https://www.iyycburg.com/menu) a few days ago with the gf and here’s my Review

Burger: Ordered a double with all the fixings. Meat quality was great. They boast 3oz, never frozen Alberta Beef patties and the taste and quality showed. All the fixins were there but it felt like they shorted me on the ingredients. Feeling to this is Similar to modern steak’s attempt at making a burger. Although I’m the type that likes a generously loaded burger and It feels like chains like A&W and five guys do better jobs at loading their burgers. Still the patty quality shines through

Onion rings: Meh, Standard frozen rings probably from Sysco

Butter chicken poutine: sounds interesting on paper but execution was off. Fries were good but the cheese curds wasn’t melted at all. They also cheaped out on any chicken pieces in the butter chicken sauce. Butter chicken sauce did taste good. Decent amount of fries for a decent price point though ($6)

Kitkat milkshake: I was so hungry that I gorged on the food before touching the milkshake, so to be fair, I can’t give this an unbiased review. It ended up melted before I got to it (sunny day on their outside picnic table) It was alright. Kitkat pieces were nice and so was the chocolate. But it wasn’t a thick milkshake so I think they may put more milk than ice cream in their ratio. I’ll have to try this again for a fair review

Mango bubble tea: My gf had this and it was Just plain bad. Tasted like Powdered mango flavouring in blended ice with overcooked tapioca pearls. You could pick any other place in Calgary to do a better job. I think they were banking on a predominantly white, Sundance neighborhood to not know any better of what good bubble tea should taste like.

Overall: burger Meat patty was great and the toppings were fresh but stingy on the amount. If I were to go back, I may have to ask for extra toppings to feel like this was a decent amount. Their other stuff were average, but I beg you to not order their bubble tea. If I were to go back. It’ll just be for their burger and maybe a second shot at their shakes.
7/10

A buddy told me about this place, has anyone tried Burger 420 yet?

https://burger420.ca/

Looks spendy but he said it was all good ingredients, and you won't leave hungry...$10 milkshakes though- Not sure how high I'd have to be to try

Burger menu sounds interesting but
Someone needs to tell them that adding ingredients for the sake of making a burger looks taller does not make it look more appealing

They need to fire the guy who staged this unbalanced, sloppy monstrosity
