It might have felt like a roadtrip getting out this far west with the Gardiner Expy closed, but it was worth the gridlock. Brought out here by fellow yelper, Kyra S., who'd followed her nose here while out driving, I too was drawn in by it's clean looking exterior, cute patio and undenable delicious smell. The menu is what you'd expect from a gourmet burger shop, but with some extra surprises. Beef, bison, chicken , veggie and pulled pork are the options amongst the burgers. They proudly display they only use naturally raised local meat, which is sure to add to the quality of the taste.
Several speciality burgers already have the toppings picked out; The Greek has feta cheese, red pepper, fresh cucumber, tomato and tzatziki while the Tandoori Chicken Burger has roast red pepper, sauteed onion, curry mayo, cucumber and garlic yogurt sauce. All the toppings are included, aside from the options in cheese which are $1 each (brie, cheddar, feta, swiss, gorgonzola and smoked gouda). Six mayos double as dipping sauce for their handcut yukon gold or sweet potato fries (can't decide which you want - they'll mix it up for you and give you both!). Prices are good, ranging from $5.35 for a classic beef burger and upto $7.50 for a bison. For a combo with fries and pop add $3.50, want a beer - it's another $2.00.
Customers are given buzers to take back to their table, so you don't have to wait around while your burger cooks over their hardwood grill. You get to direct the dressing of your burger which makes all the toppings seem a bit less daunting. Although I was tempted by the cheese stuffed burgers on the menu, I couldn't resist getting the bison burger. It was juicy and flavourful and nearly an inch thick. The bun held up well to all the toppings and the fries were decliously thick and tasty.
They're licensed, with both beer and a few mixed drinks on offered. A note on our table let us know that several nights a week they have half priced mojitos or sangria, etc depending on the day. Salads looked fresh and colourful as they past by, and the coleslaw looked nonetoo creamy.
If you fiind yourself out near Long Branch, or want to see where it is exactly the Queen Street Car ends - get yourself to Woody's. It's worth it.
