Thankfully, there is still some juiciness here, so it’s certainly a minor offender in Toronto’s ongoing quest to completely dry out my mouth with well-done, too-lean patties.Īside from the dryness issue, this is an outstanding hamburger. Sadly, like at The Stockyards (and pretty much every other burger joint in Toronto), the beef in the burger is a little bit too lean, resulting in a burger that’s a bit drier than it should be. Like at The Stockyards, the burger is griddle-cooked and seasoned with little more than salt and pepper (as it should be). It was good on the burger, but even better as a dipping sauce for their amazing fries. I also asked for mayonnaise on the side, which turned out to be a wise move the creamy, flavourful mayo is infused with roasted garlic and is clearly made in-house - this ain’t no Hellmann’s, that’s for sure. There are some interesting looking burgers on the menu, but in keeping with my preference when I’m reviewing a place, I kept it simple with the Stack Classic, which comes topped with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onion. It’s clear that they could have made Stack a burger joint and done just fine - these are burgers done (mostly) right. If their website is to be believed, they initially planned on specializing in burgers, but ultimately decided to shift their focus to southern-style BBQ. Like The Stockyards, Stack is BBQ joint run by people who have clearly put a great deal of care into the burger selection on their menu.
