Between Two Buns, Windsor, ON (2026)

02/09/2023

Bubi’s is a long time Windsor dining spot that has held its place downtown since 1984. Known for their creamy Bubi’s sauce, garlic-heavy dishes, and having been featured on The Food Network, I knew I’d end up with a Bubi’s burger sooner rather than later. The menu has a good amount of options, including eleven good looking burgers. With so many choices, I was having trouble landing on a decision until the waiter recommended ‘The Binder.’

‘The Binder’ is not your conventional burger, instead it has two grilled cheese sandwiches in the place of typical burger buns.
I struggled to fit my mouth over this monster of a burger, but when I did I was pretty pleased with the taste. The grilled cheese sandwiches were well made with both cheddar and mozzarella cheese. The burger patty, while not as juicy as I would have liked, had good seasoning and was complemented by their house made Bubi’s sauce. The bacon seemed over cooked and wasn’t to my liking, however the fried onions were pleasing and gave the burger a pleasant taste. All in all this burger still surprised me with interesting elements that weren’t entirely outshined by the grilled cheese.

If you’re looking for a lively spot to have brunch or lunch, “The Twisted Apron” is the place to be. I’d heard good things about the ‘Twisted Burger’ and was curious to see if it lived up to the hype; I had a feeling it would the moment the plate hit the table and I caught a glimpse of the melted brie cheese.
I was already craving more after the first juicy bite. The high quality brie cheese topped the patty that was cooked to perfection giving it a creamy finish. All of the ingredients were fresh and tasty. A light mix of garlic mayo and bacon jam paired perfectly together adding notes of savoury sweetness. The crispy red onions and toasted bun rounded this burger off with a quality crunch.
The ‘twisted burger’ is listed at 16.50. Sides are offered a la carte so for an extra five dollars I opted to add fries. Good value for this quality meal.

Sometimes a burger craving hits in the most unexpected places, so while the rest of my group ordered pizza and pasta dishes, I opted for the ‘Windsor Pizza Burger’ at Armando’s Pizza Bar. The delicious aroma of pizza in the air solidified my choice, I couldn’t wait for the tasty combination of two of my favourite foods. The burger arrived on a toasted bun topped with round slices of pepperoni and fresh sautéed mushrooms, both of which were tasty. The burger came with two patties which were slightly disappointing as they were thin and a little dry. A slice of mozzarella and a nice quantity of sweet tomato sauce topped the patty making it a bit more appealing but overall this burger lacked in flavour and isn’t one I would order again.
If you’ve had a great pizza burger somewhere that you think I should try let me know!

As I continue my lengthy search for the world’s best burger I stumbled next upon a west Windsor classic, Rock Bottom.
I browsed the menu’s burger options until
finding the one that most piqued my interest: the "Jalapeño Cheddar Burger".
Though spice and heat aren’t always my palate’s preference, I decided to give it a shot. It arrived on a non-toasted kaiser bun and was topped with thick cut jalapeños, fresh lettuce and tangy red onions.
The patty, while flavourful, was
overpowered by the spice of this burger. The
cheddar sauce was dry and spicy tasting with a texture more like a processed cheese spread.
The bacon is marinated in a spicy
jalapeño brine which made for a good punch and pleasant flavour. This burger came with no additional sauces which was a big miss in my opinion.

The Loose Goose is a bar in downtown Windsor just a few steps from the river. They’ve got a grand selection of wings, rubs and sauces to choose from - so naturally, I ordered a burger. Foregoing any attempt to hook hungry patrons with clever names, Loose Goose keeps it simple, leading me to choose “Hamburger” from the menu. The “hamburger” dish is priced at 16 dollars and offers shredded lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle and mayo as toppings. A bit ordinary, in my opinion, so I opted to hold the tomato, onion and pickle and instead spring for cheese (3 dollars) and bacon (2.50) as add-ons.
To my surprise (since it wasn’t mentioned on the menu description) my burger arrived with two patties, each topped individually with gooey melted cheese and a hearty serving of crisp bacon. I added ketchup in with the mayo which paired well and added a great tang. The bun was toasted perfectly, with an excellent crisp exterior and perfect fluffiness inside; truly something to take note of. On the flip side, the shredded iceberg lettuce was a tragedy, as shredded iceberg lettuce almost always is. The “hamburger” comes with fries and friendly service.

“Black Tap” is a funky spot in NYC with great vibes and amazing sides. Two simple words have had Black Tap on my list of spots to visit for a while: wagyu burger.
The Wagyu Steakhouse Burger was the recipient of the ‘Judge’s Choice’ award at the NYC Wine & Food Festival’s “Burger Bash”. I was eager to see if this dish lived up to the hype.
The burger’s presentation looked extremely
appetizing. After the very first bite, my taste
buds were met with an abundance of flavour.
The wagyu patty was filled with intense rich juices that poured out after every bite. The meat itself was premium quality, including the bacon, which was succulent and savoury with hints of smokey flavouring. The pepper-jack cheese was outstanding - adding a delicious and tangy compliment that was perfectly melted. A handful of crispy onions topped the cheese for a hint of salt and some added texture. The onions were balanced beautifully with a thick and creamy roasted garlic mayo lathered on their soft toasted bun.
Reasonably priced for wagyu and Manhattan, this burger and fries comes in at 22 USD. Be sure to leave room for one of Black Tap’s famous ‘crazy shakes’. I recommend the ‘Brooklyn Blackout’.

Bill’s Bar & Burger is a busy two story diner at the bottom of the Rockefeller Centre. After a thoughtful scan of the menu I decided to order the “Ultimate Cheeseburger”. For a restaurant that has the word ‘Burger’ in its name I had high expectations… unfortunately it didn’t quite deliver.
Each of the three 9 ounce patties were topped individually with a different type of cheese; white cheddar, provolone and American cheddar. The patties were leaking juices and grease everywhere (no, not in a good way). The beef was also a little underwhelming on the flavour side and lacked the punch a good seasoning would offer. Their special sauce was thin and runny and ultimately barely noticeable - not too special after all.
On the bright side, the shredded lettuce was fresh and the brioche bun held its shape. I also made what turned out to be a smart decision by adding their applewood bacon on for an extra charge. The bacon ended up adding vital texture and crunch to this soft burger.
The Ultimate Cheeseburger runs 19.95 USD. Sides are available a la carte for an extra charge.

The Smith is a lively, casual restaurant in midtown Manhattan. Their menu is versatile and includes everything from oysters to chicken pot pie. There are two burgers to choose from - a veg and quinoa option and a classic beef burger. I made the obvious and usual choice. I requested it be cooked medium. The burger was served on a toasted potato bun which was light and fluffy. The beef patty was cooked to my liking and topped with their delicious house made “TSB sauce” . The TSB sauce consists of mayonnaise, lemon, garlic and salt - my only wish was that there had been more of it. Crispy onions added crunch and a hint of salt to the burger elevating the flavour exponentially. A melted cheddar cheese slice was generously placed on top of the patty adding a simple and mild flavour. The burger patty itself was the star of this dish as it was juicy, flavourful and although lighter than the average burger, still filling. Below the patty was a single piece of lettuce preventing the juices of the patty from soaking into the bun. The burger was plated with a side of shoestring fries and for midtown Manhattan was reasonably priced.

Joe Schmoe’s Eats & Drinks has been in Lasalle since 2007. They boast that they’re home of the very best burgers, wings, sandwiches and salads. They’ve got a great burger selection with over a dozen creative choices on the menu but the Spicy Pig Burger is the one that immediately caught my eye. It did not disappoint. Served on a soft toasted bun, the tasty angus beef patty was cooked medium-well. It was topped with melted cheddar cheese, along with a sweet and juicy serving of pulled pork, bacon and house spicy apple bbq sauce. This burger typically comes with a carolina mustard slaw topping as well, but I opted to have it served on the side. The sweet pulled pork elevates this burger from ordinary to a must-try. Joe Schmoe’s is an affordable spot and a great place to catch a game. After trying the Spicy Pig Burger you may just be tempted to return for the “Fat Schmoe Challenge” to get your photo on the wall after conquering the three-patty beast.
Either way, arrive to Joe Schmoe’s with a big appetite!

Burger 67 is a well known Amherstburg establishment with a variety of unique burgers to choose from. I decided to try their signature (and most popular) burger, the Amherstburg'er. Turns out, it’s fantastic. Starting from the top, the brioche bun was perfectly toasted on the inside and soft on the outside. The single patty was remarkable; entirely juicy and with delicious seasoning. Topping the beef patty was a slice of mozzarella cheese AND a slice of american cheddar, both flawlessly melted. The lettuce paired perfectly with the caramelized onions. There was comfort and flavour in every single bite with the help of the crisp and savoury bacon. What takes this burger from good to great is the combination of their sweet barbecue sauce and fried jalapeños. The savoury barbecue sauce is thin and light - with the slight heat from the fried jalapeños it countered a perfect balance that will leave you wanting more. This high quality burger came with choice of a side and was averagely priced. Final rating 9.8/10

There is always a lot of buzz surrounding The Penalty Box, so although they’re known for their infamous chicken delight, I decided to take a deeper dive into their menu and order a bacon cheeseburger. The burger was a good size and came cooked medium-well. The sauce was creamy and tangy and added enough flavour that other condiments like ketchup and mustard aren’t necessary. While there was a good amount of bacon, the slices were thin and lacklustre in my opinion. I would recommend the peameal bacon option instead. Topped with a soft sesame seed bun, this burger is simple but filling.

The G.O.A.T. Is home to a fantastic burger, one so flavourful and well seasoned. This burger consists of two patties, each one topped with a single slice of melted cheddar cheese. An amazing toasted and buttered bun holds the burger together. The burger is topped with just enough lettuce and the bacon was crisp and added a nice texture. The star, however, is the truffle aioli - a topping so delectable and creamy you’ll wish you could take a bottle home. The Bacon chipotle burger is perfectly balanced flavour wise.
