Downie Street Burgers - Stratford, Ontario

My parents and I were heading home to Kitchener from Grand Bend and were craving burgers. I came across this place through a Google search. Sounded decent. So we placed an order online. Only for me to realize we placed the order two minutes to close (how rude of us!). I ... thought they closed an hour later. Anyways, I called to clarify if it was okay and the owner was super friendly and said they’d be ready in about 20 minutes. When we got there, I went in to pay and pickup. Again, the owner was so nice. He told me about how he just purchased the place and asked who was having which burger. He also said he had to make fresh onion rings for The Inferno and threw the extras in the box for us. I apologized for making the order so close to close but he seemed very unperturbed by it. Highly recommend the Dirty Bird and The Inferno. Everything was piping hot and delicious. Thank you so much again for not hating my guts for ordering so close to close. I will be back. Read more

I enjoyed my “Knuckle Sandwich” immensely. Pulled pork on a hamburger patty... delicious. I was however disappointed with the fries this visit. I would have been alright with them if it was part of a $5-10 combo, but this was $22. Some were burnt tasting and ... others were a little crunchy inside. Sadly I left the establishment with a bit of burnt taste in my mouth after eating the small pieces of fries in the bottom of the bowl. I hope next time they have improved their fries to match their gourmet prices. Read more

Burgers are exceptional! Very well portioned and the buns (which were also very fresh) are perfectly sized. Poutine was also very good; available as an entree or a side order. Great variety of signature burgers as well as ability to build your own. All burgers can be customized vegan or ... vegetarian. If you are craving a burger in Stratford, don't miss this place!

Downie Street Burgers offers a burger for everyone! You can try one of their awesome combinations or build your own unique burger! We tried the Noah's Ark burger and it is a mouthful! This burger is not for the faint of heart - it has crispy delicious ... chicken on top of a meaty patty with all the fixings. Add to that sweet potato fries or onion rings and you have a meal worth digging into! Read more

Great burgers & atmosphere. They do a really good job incorporating interesting toppings & fun menu names. We came on a half-price burger night, otherwise the prices would have been a little high for getting burgers. Had really good service. The location was a close walk from our Airbnb.
