Edmonton, Southside

The Burger Joint

I feel like the majority of good restaurants are located far in the southside. An example would be The Burger Joint, which I consider one of my newest found “hidden gems”. It’s far south, right beside South Common. It’s exactly what its name suggests – a burger joint! The restaurant itself is small and clean, nothing too fancy. You can either choose to BYOB (build your own burger) or order one that’s already created off the menu. For sides, regular or curly fries are your options! Pricing is actually cheap considering the portion sizes. I left feeling very full without my wallet feeling empty. Eating out too much does get expensive when you’re still a student *sad face*. 

B.J. Burger Combo $12.49

My friend and I both ordered a BJ burger combo for ourselves. It wasn’t until after we ordered and sat down that we realized we could’ve created our own burgers – rookie mistake, I know. When the burgers were presented to us, we were astonished at how big and towering it was! The BJ burger comes with lettuce, tomatoes, purple onions, and pickles for veggies. It’s also accompanied by white mushrooms, bacon, mozza cheese, and southwestern chipotle sauce. Burgers were fresh and juicy and the 7 oz patty certainly filled me up. It was kinda messy to eat but I’m not complaining!

I had the curly fries as my side. Best curly fries everrrrrrr! So delicious. My mouth is actually watering as I think about them right now.. or maybe I’m just really hungry. Anyways, these fries came out in cute metal baskets with 2 sauces; ketchup and a chipotle mayo sauce. The mayo was my go-to for these fries. I would drive back here for these babies. 

My friend had the regular fries for her side. I tried a few and although they were decent, they weren’t anything special. A bit greasy actually. Therefore, I’d recommend trying out the curly fries!
If you’re ever in the southside and need a burger, the Burger Joint is worth a stop-by. Tip: come on an empty stomach though.
