This End Up
This burger is a mouth-watering seven ounces of fresh ground chuck, which is almost enough to distract from This End Up's delicious boozy cocktails. Topped with aged cheddar, house sauce, house pickles, arugula, onion, and shiitake and sundried tomato tapenade, it also happens to be a (relative) steal at $13 with a salad or fries on the side. Open past 1am Thursday to Saturday. More »
Jumbo Burgers
Jumbo Burgers does your classic, indulgent diner-style burger wherein a side of onion rings are pretty much a necessity. This late night spot (until around 2 a.m.) seems to have stayed the same for decades, with prices lagging nicely behind at $3.95 for your basic, minimally dressed burger. A milkshake here is always a good call, too. More »
Thompson Diner
For a burger at any time of night (or morning), there's always the Thompson Diner's list numerous and creative of options. The 24-hour spot offers beef, turkey, and veggie patties, wrapped in buns or lettuce, or (if you can stomach it) two grilled cheese sandwiches. Served with a side, burgers here start at about $12. More »
Burger Shack
Never mind its somewhat-seedy sidewalk appeal, Burger Shack does a mighty fine take on a classic charbroiled burger. Your best bet here is the bacon and cheese-clad banquet burger, which, when paired with an order of crispy onion rings, is a no-fail choice for a late night bite around $10. Open until 3 a.m. on weekends. More »
Johnny Jackson
Johnny Jackson sucks you in with its everything-ten-bucks late night menu (until 4 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays), not the least of which includes its boxed-up six ounce burger. Paired with a side of fries, this patty comes topped with your requisite tomato, lettuce, and onion ring, and is dubbed, affectionately, "Brutus." All hail. More »
Dairy Freeze
Paid for with pocket change, the classic old-school Dairy Freeze burger has been earning late night esteem for decades. This is a traditional mustard n' ketchup type burger, so those who crave arugula and brie toppings should probably look elsewhere. Best enjoyed on the patio picnic tables in the summertime. Open until 3 or 4am throughout the week. More »
Johnny's Hamburgers
For a time warp and a late night burger. Johnny's keeps retro charm alive in the form of paper hats, excessive orange decor, and a hot charbroiled burger for $3 and change. This is the type of place you stop by at 2 a.m. on Saturday night and devour your order in minutes in your car. And enjoy every second of it. More »
Gourmet Burger Co. (Adelaide St.)
A step up, I'd say, from your average chain burger joint, but still open until 4 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Here the beef patties are made fresh and packed loose, topped with premium ingredients and house-made sauces. Gourmet Burger also makes a pretty delicious fish burger for pescetarian customers, along with sides such as poutine, onion rings, and milkshakes. More »
Gangster Burger
Pick from a list of "bosses" that includes the Dillinger, the Lucas, and the famed Capone. This burger joint draws inspiration from the big boys of crime, somehow translating that history into 6oz beef patties with dill Havarti, caramelized onions, and Gangster Goo (spicy ketchup). Whatever. It's open until 4 a.m. on weekends. More »
W Burger Bar
W Burger Bar makes an incredible Kobe burger if you can spring for the cash ($19), and a pretty delicious regular organic beef burger to boot. Open late Thursday through Saturday (until 2 a.m. or later), it's a solid choice for sustenance on the way home from the bar. More »
Hero Certified Burgers
Some people just love the Hero burger, I guess. With multiple locations around the city open until the wee hours (or some, in the case of Queen West, all night), Hero Certified Burgers does a pretty consistent patty, offered with all of the fixings and fries and onion rings alongside. Angus beef, hormone-free, and about $10 with fries and a drink. More »
ACME Burger Company Annex
This is where hungry students seem to settle for a little beef after last call. Open until 4 a.m. on weekends, ACME offers a pretty meaty burger for your buck, complete with pretty much any topping you could want (minus peameal bacon) including guac and mango chutney for no extra charge. More »
T-Bones Restaurant
If you can't quite stomach a 16-oz steak at 3 a.m. (who are you?) T-Bones' burger presents a much more reasonable option. This homemade burger comes hot and juicy, served with standard toppings, a side of fries, and a drink for less than $10. It's not a New York sirloin, but it'll certainly do. More »
Apache Burger
Apache is Etobicoke's answer to the late night, old-school burger. Cooked up thin and wide, this burger is no-frills at its finest, best complimented by a mix of fries and on the side. This place hasn't changed in ages, and neither have the burgers. Open until around 3 a.m. on Fridays. More »

That place gave me the worst ass piss ever.
Burgers are all over $12, and though good-ish, are not worth the $60 you'll end up dropping for 2 burgers, 2 beers and an app.

O.G.
Shame on you BTO readers!
