big joe's burger combo with fries

Joe's Hamburgers is located just north of Yonge/Elgin Mills in the plaza beside the Leon's. Despite the name, they don't just serve burgers and are actually probably more well known for their shawarmas. Another one of those unassuming places that don't look like much on the outside but on the inside....well the inside isn't that great either but the food...amazing!

I knew exactly what I wanted which was the shawarma combo ($9.70 + tax, $6.70 + tax for the shawarma alone). Shawarma in a wrap/pita, fries (I opted for onion rings), and a drink. Even though it's just a shawarma and you could go somewhere else and get one for like half the price, trust me it's worth every cent here. First thing to note is, it's huge, in fact it puts all other shawarma places to shame. To shame! Second, great selection of toppings, with all the regulars including pickled turnips (Y) but also some other stuff like cooked onions and coleslaw which as strange as it sounds goes really well with it. Third...the chicken! Tastes great and they really don't cheap out on it, even down to the last bite it's still packed with chicken.

The Big Joe's Burger combo ($7.95 + tax, $4.85 + tax for the Big Joe's Burger alone) comes with a 1/2lb burger, drink, and fries. Even though I only tried a bite, I was really surprised with the quality of the burger which despite being a big 1/2lb patty was still very juicy and flavourful. The fries are also homemade and highly recommended. Actually they're so good I think I have to repeat that...get the fries! The onion rings though weren't anything too special but I still thought they were good...but I love onion rings so I always think they're good lol.

Maybe a little expensive for what it is but I think the price is definitely worth it considering the quality and amount of food you get. I'd rank it as one of my favourite shawarma places in the GTA and can't wait to go back to try one of their burgers for myself...which is hopefully soon...hopefully very soon.
