The Burgernator

What is The Burgernator? Set on Augusta Avenue amidst Kensington Market's frantic rhythm, The Burgernator is an unfiltered, high-velocity burger counter built around unapologetic excess and certified halal smash patties. Inside, the space is compact, loud, and intentionally stripped of polish, featuring a handful of cramped perimeter tables and a busy condiment station designed for rapid counter turnarounds.

The Burgernator Menu & What to Order The kitchen leans into maximalist comfort, crowned by the gargantuan 'The Burgernator'—a triple beef patty stack housed between two full grilled cheese sandwiches. For something slightly more conventional but equally punchy, order the 'Atomic Burger' with its deep-fried herb-crusted cheese, or the 'Captain Jerk' layered with grilled pineapple, Havarti, and peppery jerk sauce. Balance the heavy griddle fare with a batch of aioli-drizzled 'Rocket Fries' and a thick 'Oreo Cookie Milkshake'.

Know Before You Go Seating is strictly walk-in only, and the micro-dining room packs out quickly during peak weekend hours, making takeout to nearby Bellevue Square Park a smart backup plan. Driving into Kensington Market is notoriously painful; skip the search for parking and arrive via the 510 Spadina or 506 Carlton streetcars. The kitchen operates from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, staying open until 11:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
