Burger Review: Sonny's

Sonny’s.
The food haven for the bar closing crowd in Brampton for years. I myself have found myself here after a little imbibing. Everything seems to taste really good, but is that just the booze talking?

First, the extras. Small little building with no indoor seating. Walk-up order counter, cash only. Ordered a burger and fries. Mustard, ketchup, relish, mayo, lettuce and tomato. Small wait as everything is cooked to order, but the wait time was minimal. I forgot to ask for a receipt, but believe me, I paid cash.

Appearance
Unwrapping the burger and found an odd looking bun. It was hard to tell the top of the bun from the bottom of the bun. There were sesame seeds on the bottom of the bun, and it just didn’t look quite right. The produce on the sandwich looked fresh and crisp. Oval shaped meat patty.
Bun To Meat Ratio
The white bread bun wasn’t too thick, but sturdy enough to hold everything in for the entire eating session. No sogginess to be found. The bun complimented the sandwich well.

Meat Taste
The patty tasted like something you could buy from the freezer section of your local grocery store, the package of burgers labeled “Meat patties”. They look like they cooked it from a thawed state though, which is a little weird. Beef may be found in this burger somewhere, but it is well hidden. The char-grilling must be a big selling point.
Overall Taste
If you are looking for a ‘meat’ burger, this one tastes pretty good. If you are looking for a juicy, beefy burger, you are best served to look elsewhere. Tasty indeed, but not what I am looking for in a burger. I feel like I could make the same thing at home being lazy and using a frozen meat patty.

This will remain a place for me to enjoy when I am in an intoxicated state, and I am just looking for something to get in my belly. Sober me will be looking for something more.
