Burger Drops is located at 116 Atlantic Ave in Toronto's Liberty Village. They were recently named number 2 on this years' Best Burgers in Toronto from blogTO. It is generally believed to be a controversial list as it is rumored that blogTO are fans of the pay for play model. Regardless, the burgers that make this list are universally good but notoriously mainstream.
Founded in 2020 by Greg Bourolias. In a former life Greg worked as a sous-chef at Aloutte, another of Toronto's premiere burger joints. Greg is bringing the pedigree and the notoriety.
The restaurant is small yet cozy. They have 4 tables of two so if you go, don't expect to get a table. Fortunately Liberty Village has many park benches to sit, munch a burger, and people watch. The folks at Burger Drops are obviously proud of their history as it is displayed for all to see. On the wall of the restaurant is a lovely memory wall with lovely pictures of what I think are the owners througout the years. A very cute touch.
The menu is simple and clean. Burgers, Chicken, sides, and sodas. The website is a perfect reflection of their simple with excellent execution concept.

They are also very active on Instagram, where they drop their off menu items, which I think is fun. Follow them here: @burgerdrops
According to the clerk (who may be the owner's wife) their signature burger is the Original Double or the OG Double as she called it. Apparently the OG Double is the burger that built the restaurant and was their go to during their catering/pop-up start up phase. Two smashed beef patties on a potato roll with grilled sweet onions, house pickles, American cheese, and a special sauce.
The Original Double costs $12.00. Very reasonable for a double cheese. How does Burger Drops and the Original Double do on the CBI?
The first CBI score for Burger Drops' OG Double is a 62.92. It is a great burger with great value. It currently has the third highest CBI score from an absolute value stand point. and the second highest on the positive end of the scale.
These figures are up to date as of 2023-12-06
