Overall, Dilallo Burger Original 1929 earns praise for tasty food and friendly service, with generous burgers, crispy onion rings, and solid fries served in a cozy, old time atmosphere that suits late night cravings. The Buck Burger is a recurring favorite, along with classic bacon cheeseburgers, and the menu is described as reliably flavorful and good value. Some reviews note memorable quality and even call the dillalo burger the best, while others find the meals merely good or not very memorable, and a few orders arrive tepid or only warm, possibly due to delivery timing. Poutine quality varies, with mozzarella cheese used instead of curds disappointing some. A gluten free bun option is available, which is rare for late night spots. Takeout and delivery are quick, with open late hours making it a convenient option for a snack or meal.
