    Amazing! Amazing food! Amazing owner! Amazing staff! This feels like home and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone! Mama and her super friendly staff know what they are doing, serving some of the yummiest, tastiest, and healthiest comfort foods there is! Portions are generous so make sure you come hungry! Lots of seating indoors and outdoors, so it's the perfect place to come on a warm summer evening 🥰

    The best burger in Toronto (or in my life) that I have ever tried. Mama made me feel completely like home. And the food... Is just sooo good! Every bite feels like heaven and feels so fresh. Definitely coming back!

    The signature burger is an absolute must-try. The beef is different. Tastes different from the other burger shops I’ve tried. I’ve been buying and eating burgers from mama’s boys for more than 5 years! Always returning for a juicy burger. Mouth-watering and stomach filling! Worth every penny!

    Good place to eat. People and service are awsome. Food quality is not the best but I can say better than asusal. They have a attractive patio.

    What a nice place. What a nicer service. These people know what they are doing, and provide the food with care and passion. The mama burger is bigger than amrican, and the bread is different, try mama its better. Thier franch fries 🍟 could be better.

    There is nothing more refreshing than knowing you're eating DELICIOUS QUALITY food. Nowadays it's sadly hard to find an establishment of any tenure with good service as well, but Mama? No, no she is not only old school on how she takes care of you in her restaurant but also does it with the LOVE, just like how a Greek mother would tend to her own children at home. THAT'S how she treats every single customer that walks through her doors! She is beyond lovely, her students that work in the kitchen are extremely friendly and adorable and again the food? Out of this world! From dining here before i decided to take my parents for dinner tonight and we ordered a pulled pork sandwich with fries and a bottle of water for mama bear, a 6oz mama's burger combo w/bacon & cheese and a can of coke for Papa bear and for myself it was a chicken souvlaki dinner with rice, fries and a Greek salad (can I just say YUUUUMMMMM on how tender and delicious that meat was though?! JUST WOW, it literally melted on first contact with my mouth, so tender and juicy). My mom absolutely loved the pull pork so much that I ordered her a side portion for her to eat for lunch tomorrow too, lol! The restaurant is super clean, chill and extremely cozy too! We will definitely be returning again and have now added a restaurant on our list of places to visit, thank you again Κυρία Bessy & staff!🫶😊

    Way too over priced, and it’s dirty inside, fresh air vents on ceiling are covered in dust over the kitchen. If Google had the right prices posted for their menu I would have not come.

    Family owned souvlaki and burger joint . It’s all about the grilling here . The burgers and souvlaki are usually grilled near perfect . Juicy and well done. Sometimes MaMa is there ! They make simple food that’s good . Not over complicated. Always good service , staff is polite and friendly . The Greek fries is a must ! Been going here for years . Sign out front says they will be open for a few more years ! A must try in the east end .

    Ever find a place that you crave their food? This is one of those places. Food cooked to perfection just for you, just the way you like it. Friendly staff, clean space. And I even got to meet Mama! What a wondeand super nice woman! She was there, checking on her "Boys". If you haven't tried Mama's Boys Burgers you MUST!!

    Mama's is a terrific find. Lifelong Scarberian but I never visited this place until recently. One word: fantastic! I have had the burgers, steak and pork chops. All made with quality product... juicy, tender and tasty! The sides are as good with tasty rice, well seasoned roast potatoes... hey and the salad (with really excellent tomatoes) is topped with a great home-made dressing! All in all, I highly recommend a try... you'll be hooked... any money!

    Excellent on all levels!! Highly recommend. I've ordered 4 times from this wonderful restaurant and never once been disappointed. In fact, each time my expectations were exceeded! I'll attach a photo of my last order: A 10 ounce rib eye steak that I was able to specify be smothered with caramelized onions and mushrooms, with roast potatoes, and rice. Everything was cooked to perfection!

    One of the best hamburgers I have had this decade. I ordered the Signature burger. I am certain that anything chosen would be as tasty! Completely recommend Mama's Boys Burgers to anyone! Now know where to go when I have a burger craving!

    The one star is for the mediocre food.... and 0 stars for the poor customer service from the owner herself. She is a miserable lady, and obviously does not enjoy being there... It's no wonder the staff turn over is so high, because she berates them and even her own customers. If you prefer to be treated with respect, I suggest you take your business elsewhere.

  • 5/5 beastmanpro 2 years ago on Google
    The burger was pretty fresh and juicy for me. I definitely would go back because the protien content was enough for my muscles to grow !

  • 5/5 James R. 2 years ago on Google
    This is by far the BEST BURGER in all of Scarborough!! Do yourself a favour and make sure you order a mamma double! The fresh burger patty with fresh toppings makes for the most flavourful burger ever! The first bite you take will explode of juicy mouth watering beef! Great location right off Birchmount… you won’t miss it. Close to near by parks so you can have yourself a nice picnic I guarantee you will be a returning costumer and have the same experience as I have!!

  • 5/5 Brenda B. 2 years ago on Google
    Best homemade food in the city. The portions are big and put together with care. It truly is a wonderful family experience. Everyone is friendly and makes you feel like you are part of Mama's family... especially Mama herself.

  • 5/5 Pete V. 2 years ago on Google
    Easily the tastiest burger I've had in the GTA, by far.

  • 5/5 Toya M. 1 year ago on Google
    This is by far the best place for chicken souvlaki, service is extremely friendly and the restaurant is very clean. My first time here today and I'm definitely coming back 😇

  • 5/5 Adrian D. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Subrena M. 3 years ago on Google
    Best burger ever had it was big juicy and very tasty. I would definitely recommend to my friends and family its worth the price.

  • 5/5 SOLARSABER5 1 year ago on Google
    What a wonderful 1st time enjoying their signature burger!! From my walk in to feeling full such a great experience! Fresh, hot, very flavourful! Very friendly staff! Will be back! 🤙🏻😎

  • 4/5 Vimal V. 2 years ago on Google
    First time visited this place even though I live across the street. The space inside was limited but they had lots of outdoor dining spaces that might be popular when the summer turns up. The interior was interesting! There were so many artistic choices made by the owner that makes you wonder in awe (both in a good and strange way). I couldn’t help but notice the “do this” or “don’t do this” type of signs which reminded me of my grandma’s home. Lol. Order a mama double and it was fresh and tasty. Felt a tad bit costly than other restaurants but if you are getting fresh, you might well pay for jt.

  • 5/5 Teresa H. 2 years ago on Google
    Randomly came here after a different restaurant was closed and I'm very happy that the other place was closed! We got the burger and chicken souvlaki on a pita. We ate both things before even thinking about pictures because it was so good! The chicken was moist and delicious. The burger was amazing! We also got onion rings with the combo and they were fried perfectly. Its very rare that people make onion rings good so I was really impressed. Would definitely come back!

  • 5/5 Ken C. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful little place. We got a large take out order and it was very good. Burgers were delicious and treated like someone spent hours at home making them. Not fast food at all. Owner and staff were very kind. Prices were reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food you get. Definitely worth the visit if you're in the mood for greek or a well made home made burger. Limited seating inside and out. Located in a small plaza so there is plenty of free parking.

  • 5/5 R J. 3 years ago on Google
    The food different, customer service is an amazing!😍

  • 5/5 Stephanie D. 1 year ago on Google
    LOVE this place! We drove from Richmond Hill just to try it and it was totally worth it. The food is amazing, best burger I've ever had! And the chicken souvlaki is very authentic. The owner was super sweet and passionate about her food. I would highly recommend 👌🏻

  • 5/5 Orlando G. 1 year ago on Google
    If you're looking for a family-friendly Greek restaurant with amazing food and a warm atmosphere, then Mama's Boys Burgers is the place for you. The owner, Mama, is an absolute delight who makes the experience of dining at the restaurant a truly memorable one. I recently stopped by and was blown away by the quality of the food. The french fries, steaks, steak on a kaiser, pork skewers, and burgers were all outstanding. One thing that really stood out to me was that all of the items on the menu are always fresh, never frozen. The fresh cut fries and meats were excellent, and the burgers in particular were amazing. They had just the right amount of spice and salt to make them really stand out. Overall, I would highly recommend Mama's Boys Burgers to anyone looking for great food and a welcoming atmosphere. Based on my experience, I would give this restaurant a 5 out of 5-star rating.

    Came here for the first time today and was not disappointed. Had a delicious large Greek salad with chicken. Chicken was cooked to perfection - juicy and flavourful. Tried the Greek fries, which were good as well, though a little bit too much dressing was added for my taste. Now I know for next time. My friend had the chicken pita wrap and was very pleased. Mama was working and she was so sweet! Very nice lady and the staff seemed nice as well. Got the baklava to go - no regrets. 2 Nice big pieces instead of those tiny bite sized pieces. Wish I had taken a pic, but didn’t realize it was going to be so good and now it’s too late. I’ll be going back to try more of the menu. ☺️

  • 5/5 Gil E. 10 months ago on Google
    I came for the food.....and ended up with a great experience. So good that we will be returning soon! Thanks Mama! You run a great establishment! Great food and love for your customers is an experience that not many business provide!

  • 5/5 TheWay 8. 11 months ago on Google
    You can't beat their beef patties, nicely moist, full of flavors, something that the Fast Food Industry will never replicate! Their fries are nicely thick, moist, not too crunchy, but then it would be too dry, can't have both in the real world unless you use chemicals like McDonald's, which I am glad! Turns out those chemicals are all over the Fast Food Industry which can affect your reproductive system folks! STAY AWAY FROM THE FAST FOOD INDUSTRIES!

    Best burger in the GTA! we ordered the mama's signature burger, Rib eye burger, pork souvlaki, fries and milkshakes. So juicy and delicious! We will be back!

  • 5/5 DAn S. 8 months ago on Google
    Wow I love this place Mama was there and was so friendly and inviting all the staff were top-notch.If in the Scarborough area or even Toronto a must try,poutine and gyros were amazing. I live food in Toronto.

  • 5/5 Paolo M. 3 years ago on Google
    I discovered this place years ago with a buddy of mine who loves old Mercedes Diesels. My father told me about this place years ago when he first came to the country, but never took it upon myself to give it a visit until that moment a few years back. I figured to go all out any try out the Signature Double Mama's Burger...and man that was one of the best and juiciest burgers on this side of Toronto! Ever since then, my friends, family and myself have been frequent flyers to this joint for not just the burgers, but also their souvlaki dinners. I'd rather go here than T-Bones to be honest. Quality is paramount over convenience (in most cases), especially if you want an enjoyable homemade burger that actually tastes good and is juicy. 5/5 Stars, would recommend to anyone wanting a home-run burger in the east end of Toronto.

  • 5/5 Amalia 3 years ago on Google
    Food is delicious. Always served with a personal touch. Nothing like a family run burger shop!

  • 5/5 The Tommy Glamorous P. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Norma G. 3 years ago on Google
    Great juicy cheeseburger. 4 ounce was more than enough for me. Also enjoyed the greek style fries with feta cheese. Did not find the price at all unreasonable given the price paid at the chain restaurants. They were very busy at 4 30 pm but I was served quickly.

    We grabbed a chicken breast burger, Chicken souvlaki with pita bread and poutine. Everything tasted great and had a homely feel to it. Would surely visit again to try other things.

  • 5/5 Claudette St p. 3 years ago on Google
    My daugher and I went in yesterday to get a burger, fries and salad for dinner. We heard and read some great reviews about the place and wanted to support our community that I was raised in and where my mother still resides. The burgers were absolutely juicy, fresh and tasty and there's nothing better than having some homefries to go with it. We were also delighted to meet Mama and what a lovely and personable lady she was.The staff was very friendly when we came in and the place just had a good feel about it. Very welcoming! I can say that the next time my daughter and I have a craving for a good burger, it will definitely be at Mama's Boys Burgers!!! Our family highly recommends it!!

    Great food, excellent service... Prices better than some of those "gourmet" burger places that have been trendy recently. What more do you want from a local burger joint.

  • 4/5 larry f. 3 years ago on Google
    Privately owned restaurant. Has excellent food, great burgers, awesome souvlaki. If you don't know Mama's make it a bucket list item. Please support your local establishments. Cheers!

  • 2/5 Shiran V. 3 years ago on Google
    The bun was cold and was breaking apart. They should have toasted the bun. Otherwise it was decent. The onion rings are pretty good. I will try the Greek menu on my next visit.

  • 4/5 Veronica J. 3 years ago on Google
    Ordered the chicken souvlaki dinner. Portion was larger than average. Food was good but not amazing. The lemon made the food taste a bit sour for my liking. Not the greatest Greek food I’ve had but the food was made fresh and the staff was friendly.

  • 5/5 N 3 years ago on Google

    Delicious Mama’s signature burger. Just be aware that it’s very big, and it may not be the best idea to eat the whole thing in one meal... just speaking from personal experience. The burger was fresh, delicious and awesome!

  • 5/5 Duck #. 3 years ago on Google
    Brought my girlfriend here because of that one "WOW, WOW, WOW!" review (thinking it was pretty funny) only to find probably the best burger and onion rings I've ever had. The food is made with care and the atmostphere is fantastic.
