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 am beyond disappointed. THEY CHANGED THE MENU FOR THE WORSE! Shrinkflation at its finest.
They removed bacon from a bunch of the burgers! I have no clue why- the bleu was perfect before. Now, if I want a similar experience, I have to pay 2$ extra to add bacon. On top of that, they swapped out the arugula for a cheaper chopped lettuce on everything. But of course, the price stays the same, even though the quality of the burgers has dropped very noticeably.
I understand that the economy is not great at the moment & it's especially impacting small businesses. But if that were the case, where did the money come from to buy those fancy new tv screens you're using to display your awful new menu???
Joyo used to be one of my favourite places. I visited regularly, especially during the summer when it's nice out & I can walk over. The burgers used to be super tasty & they even have gluten free buns! Now, Yoyos is starting to feel just like any other burger place, not much really setting it apart from A&W down the street.
I'm not sure I'll be back, or recommending it to friends. Super disappointed in the owners for putting profits before quality.
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.

I was not expecting this place to have such amazing burgers. The poutine, the guacamole & the chili fries were also outstanding. The service was lovely, & they helped me understand the menu. I strongly recommend this place to burger & non-burger lovers! The Aztec burger was a 9/10! For vegetarians, you can replace any of the patties for an Impossible Burger for an extra fee. I'm glad they chose Impossible over Beyond Meat. I still have to try their vegetarian option, though.
Girlfriend was craving a burger, this place is not it. Soggy burger, undercooked meat, greasy cold bread, mixed conflicting tastes on their most expensive burger. Fries very average. Music annoying. Service & decor is good but it's not food.
