Bqm Diner Inc - Toronto

Great burgers and I even liked the fries from a delivery order I wish they customers some so I get exactly what I want but maybe in resto thats more easily do ne!

There's so much potential at Toma to be a burger joint rivaling the behemoths of the city. Unfortunately, it's all unmet. After a stroll along Queen Street, I noticed this place being open, and being pretty well reviewed. According to their hours, they weren't closing for another hour and a half, so I'd easily have time for a quick burger and fries. The host informed me that he needed to ask the kitchen whether or not to take me in, which was quite surprising. Anyway, after a few minutes, I was seated and placed my order. The burger is a huge disappointment. It lacks flavour, it's bland, and the toppings don't complement the burger. The brioche bun alone is an interesting take and isn't bad, but it doesn't go along with the burger in any way. It was an honest struggle to finish this burger, which is disappointing. The fries were ok, and I had to use them to wash away the taste of the awful burger. Since this place had table service, the prices were higher and included tip. This place is not worth it. If you're in the area, head to Lisa Marie or anywhere else.

I had lunch today at Toma Burger Addiction. It 's been in our 'hood for a couple years and I 've been wanting to check it out. I ordered The Cheeseburger, without lettuce. I substituted cheddar cheese for mozzarella di Bufala (for an extra $1.99). Their brioche buns are baked fresh daily in-house and branded with a T . The patties are made using a blend of fresh ground beef, chuck and brisket, seasoned with sea salt, ground pepper and a special blend of spice, and cooked to the order on their flat griddle. It was a delicious burger ... the bun was soft and the patty was tender and juicy. Chelsea was my server. She was friendly and took good care of me. I 'll be back!

I 've heard many good things about Toma and I never looked at the menu until arriving so I didn 't know what to expect. They have so many options it 's overwhelming. I mean just for the drinks alone they have a full bar and a few beers on tap and milkshakes oh my. The bottom line is the food at this place is not your Burger 's Priest, Woody 's or anything that a person like me would consider an everyday type of burger experience. This place gives me the impression of being the anti-chain if there 's such a thing. While the menu consists of all different things you can ask for pretty much anything and everything and make it the way you want because it 's all is listed as an extra should you so choose to add it onto a preselected burger or create your own from scratch. Creating your own includes the type of meat choices like chicken, lamb, wagyu or double it or whatever you want. I just wanted as much as possible a bacon cheese burger but with a bit of flash. This place serves what I 'd consider over the top options sort of what La Belle et la Boeuf serves in Montreal but scaled back in size if that makes any sense. My wife had gone with the Kalamb which is listed as: Lamb patty, brie cheese, cumin roasted aioli, Kalamata olives, spinach, roasted red pepper. I had asked for La Boheme which was listed as: Beef patty, blue cheese, swiss cheese, homemade onion bacon marmalade, spinach, tomatoes. Because I sort of wanted 2 cheeses and I ended up adding bacon to it. La Boheme, it 's an opera ! La Boheme was the tickets Louis Winthorpe III had in his jacket pocket in the movie Trading Places when he was getting booked. Sides are a la carte and we ended up getting the Mexican poutine which is basically poutine with onions, bacon and guacamole added in there as well. The buns are made on the premises while some of the options for toppings are some dare I say it (Jenny N would not approve), gourmet toppings. Foie Gras? I really can 't eat that so I stay away. Truffle oil? Strong, can be pricey sure but do I really want that on a burger? Wagyu beef patty? I 've had before at a place in Pittsburgh. I didn 't really think it was special. In fact if I had Wagyu beef I don 't think I 'd want to ground it up and make it a burger. It would sort of be like taking a ribeye and making that into a burger. Personally I 'd want the unadulterated version of that cut of meat. Prosciutto di Parma is expensive stuff and I love eating it on its own. To mix it into a burger again to me is sort of taking away from how good it really is on its own but then again I 've never tried using it as a topping on anything before. As far as another crazy over the top option there is such a thing called the John Wayne. It 's a burger that has 3 patties on it of beef, chicken and lamb as the meats with other toppings so it 's essentially a kind of burger you really can 't pick up and start eating I 'd imagine. I have to say the burger was really good. The meat patty is definitely hand crafted and the entire thing is a creation. Ingredients are definitely not skimped and the balance is great. I loved the Swiss/Blue cheese combo with the creamy and stretchy Swiss with the bold blue. The house made buns are different as well. They 're branded (I 've seen this at a few places) but they seem strong enough to hold onto whatever is going on in between no matter what 's inside. That 's important that your special burger doesn 't fall apart on you. My favorite burgers consists of bacon and cheese and while this opera had 2 cheeses they worked well together along with everything else in between. The burger is juicy while the rest of it just falls into place like it was intended to. The Mexican poutine was OK but I sort of wish I just had asked for a regular poutine at the time instead. The onions sort of change the texture of the entire thing and while I 'm not really a fan of guac, my wife loves avocado anything so I got it because of her. I would have been fine with regular curds and gravy as our side. Since this place is what could be considered gourmet burger territory it cannot be compared to places not of the like. It 's sort of in its own echelon but if I had to compare it to anything like I said it 's sort of like what La Belle et la Boeuf would be if there would be a Toronto version of that. While Toma is good it 's rather pricey. Yes it 's a burger with really good ingredients and it 's made very well but it 's still a burger but it is a whole different level and if you wanted to have an everyday food with high end options it 's the place for you. I know it 's definitely not an everyday type place for me however I consider everyday options to be more Wendy 's and McD 's. This place is the extreme opposite of that so keep that in mind. The service was excellent and I 'd definitely return to try something else but nothing near the bottom of the menu because I 'm not one for 3 patty burgers, foie gras or truffle.

Toma burger addiction has literally just become my new addiction. The brioche buns here are made fresh daily and are nothing short of fantastic. Came on a Friday night just before 6pm, wasn 't too busy so I was happy. Menu has a great selection of gourmet burgers. Went with my girlfriend, she got the El diablo burger( good ol burger with various toppings such as cheddar bacon pickles etc, with an added chipotle mayo which makes this burger the spicy option). I myself got the old fashioned which included; cheddar, double smoked bacon( which was the BEST BACON I 've ever tasted) jack Daniels caramelized onions and toma secret sauce. For only 5$ more I got the wagyu beef patty instead of the traditional ground beef patty. I 've had bad experiences with wagyu beef burgers in the past at restaurants like Bier market, but fortunately for me the wagyu at toma was so smooth and had an amazing flavour. I recommend anyone coming here to upgrade! Service was great, knew we hadn 't been here before so they were very helpful with questions. Also had a pretty decent drink menu, shakes were a little over priced in my opinion, but tasted great so can 't complain too much. All in all I think I 've found my favourite new burger place!
