Reviews of Joyo Burger describe a strong core of tasty, well-made burgers and a clean, welcoming vibe, with many praising the blue cheese burger, the brie and mushroom version, the Nashville chicken burger, and other smash burgers as standout favorites. The poutine and fries often receive praise when prepared well, though some reports note fries can be overcooked or soggy and occasionally service times are lengthy, especially at busy hours or for takeout. Several reviewers appreciate gluten-free options and halal choices, and the overall quality and freshness of the meat are repeatedly highlighted. Occasional criticisms include changes to the menu such as bacon removal and lettuce swaps, which some feel have affected flavor and value, as well as a few burnt or dry chicken pieces in certain orders. Service is frequently described as friendly and efficient, with compliments about the ambiance and cleanliness, though a few experiences mention slower service or missteps at checkout. The consensus leans positive with many saying the burgers are among the best in Montreal and recommending repeat visits, while others note price level and consistency can vary, but overall Joyo Burger remains a reliable, tasty option with a strong menu and a welcoming atmosphere.
I recently visited Joyo Burger on Rue Masson, one of the nicest streets in Montreal, & overall I had a great experience.
I ordered the Nashville chicken burger, & it was honestly amazing - perfectly spicy, juicy, & tender. Definitely the highlight of the meal & worth coming back for.
That said, there were a few downsides. The fries were a bit disappointing & felt low quality compared to the burger. The service also wasn't perfect - there were no napkins, salt, or ketchup available on the table, which made things a bit inconvenient.
Despite these small issues, the food itself (especially the burger) really stands out. I'm giving 4 stars, with one star deducted for the sides & service.
I would still come back again for that chicken burger 👍

The family went to Joyo Burger because of the Mtlblog review. The regular burger was good, not great. The chicken burger was GREAT according to my son. Buns were a little too soft for their job. The fries were okay but nothing special, pretty much the same as an IGA french fry. Service was good but the place looks a bit run down, though nice & airy & roomy.
I ordered takeout for the first time here & i tried only because i trusted the reviews online, i got the'le grand' & poulet au miel
They were soggy, the taste was there but not eatable, too oily, it was literally falling apart for the chicken one & the other one was way too dry. Very disappointing!
They can definitely try & do bette
My 6 kids were hungry & I needed to find a place quickly. I was able to feed them all within a reasonable price & I was even given a free fry because of good hospitality. My son LOVED the spicy honey chicken burger. Highly recommend
Their beef burgers were decent, I preferred the'Le Grand'.
Out of the chicken burgers, I liked the Nashville one the most. However, I felt like there wasn't enough chicken, & I could tell it had been beaten flat.
The fries by themselves were not that great, but they were better when in the poutine.
Overall the food was decent but not worth the price.
The seating area & washrooms were clean. The staff were very nice.

Tried the chicken sandwich & fries - both were just okay. Nothing particularly bad, but nothing memorable either. The sandwich lacked flavor & felt a bit bland, & the fries were average at best. Not a place I'd go out of my way for, but it's fine if you're just looking for something quick & simple.
Joyo burger has one of the best poutines I've ever had. The chicken is light & crispy, & the poutine also has some seasoning. It was delicious. The peach cocktail was also really good. I highly recommend.
I used to love Joyo Burger's crispy chicken-it was the perfect melt-in-your-mouth, crispy-yet-juicy bite. The quality was top-notch, & it always tasted freshly fried. But the last two times I've gotten it, it hasn't been the same. The chicken doesn't taste as fresh, & it seems like they're reheating it on the grill instead of frying it fresh. The texture is drier, & it's missing that signature crunch. I really hope they go back to the quality that made their burgers stand out!
This place is amazing ! The food is so good! I took the nashville fried chicken burger & my friend took the 1/2 beef burger & it was so delicious. The place is beautiful! I highly recommend this place

This place used to be great when it opened. Now the quality has gone down immensely. The last two times I went, I had the fried chicken burger which was burnt & the onions on the Oklahoma burger were tough & so chewy, never had that issue before. I used to be ok with paying their prices for good quality burgers. But it no longer feels worth it to me.
We are on a hunt for the best burger 🍔 in town, I can attest that this place has an amazing service , Abeer was amazing, she served our table with a smile & took her time to explain all the options. Burger meat is great & yummy, a little missing sauce but you'll get sauce enthusiast your order so if you're like me, add some sauce in your burger. Sizes were great , price is a bit high but you get what you pay for. Onion rings are good, crispy , chicken burger was fresh & yummy, I would definitely return.
