Kirkland

Review Summary

B12 Burger draws praise for massive, juicy burgers and generous portions, with many calling it the best burger in town or even in Canada, and a wide menu that spans classic beef, chicken and Philly steak, plus hot dogs, poutines and house made chips. The quality is described as fresh and flavorful, with bold toppings and sauces that are frequently highlighted and sides like fries or chips that are often praised. While the flavors and portions impress, some reviews note higher prices and longer waits during busy times, and the dining space is small which means seating can be limited and takeout is popular. The service is usually friendly and attentive, and customers appreciate the clean atmosphere and the reliable consistency that keeps them coming back.View restaurant profile
