Reviews of The Burger Mechanic - The English Fish and Chips Shop
from GoogleBurger Mechanic — Burger Review Next stop on the burger tour: Burger Mechanic. The fries were one of the biggest highlights. They had almost a beer-battered, double-crunch texture with an awesome bite and really nice texture. Definitely better than most fries I’ve had so far. I went with the Poutine Beef Burger and added extra pickles. The bun had sesame seeds and black sesame seeds, which gave it a really nice texture and reminded me of an Everything Bagel-style bun. There was a good amount of cheese, making for a solid bite and a great cheese pull. The burger itself was really enjoyable, and the portion was a good size for the price. The atmosphere is also really unique. As a plumber, I enjoyed all the mechanical-themed stuff throughout the restaurant. Being from the East Coast, I also really liked the boats and fish imagery. It gives the place a personality you don’t get everywhere. But what really stood out was the service. Karmen, the lady working, easily made the experience that much better. You could tell she was genuinely passionate about her job and the restaurant. She was extremely accommodating and provided the kind of service you don’t get very often. She cared so much about the place that I genuinely thought she might have been the owner. It’s not very often you get good food, a unique atmosphere, and genuinely great service all in one place. Overall: 9/10 Solid burger, excellent fries, good portion for the price, and exceptional service. Definitely somewhere I’d go back to. Gonna try the Fish and Chips next!
Stopped in for lunch on a rainy day. Pleasantly surprised to find a spacious well lit area with lots of seating available. They have fish n chip options, chicken burgers and beef burgers plus a few appetisers to choose from. They have no pork and use beef bacon so it's great for those who don't eat pork. Prices are a little on the higher side but boy, the portion sizes did not disappoint! We were also given some chicken soup samples to try out which was perfect for the rainy weather. I chose a holy chicken burger ($16) which comes with beef bacon, fried onion rings, tomato, lettuce, mayo, cheese and pickles. The mayo is more of a dressing so was a little runny and tart for my liking. But overall the burger was delicious, as they use marinated chicken breast coated in a crunchy batter. We updated to a combo for $6.50 which was a large portion of crunchy fries and a pop. Only small letdown was the burger was a little too salty for my liking, otherwise it was delicious and super filling. It's a great spot with plenty of seating if you're looking for a big meal.
I paid just over $20 bucks for fries and a spicy chicken burger (I can't remember the exact name). Free water wasn't available at the time so I didn't get to drink anything with my meal. The menu board is in a slightly awkward spot. It did come with a free soup though. I really enjoyed my spicy chicken burger and it really filled me up before I went to the Ne-Yo and Akon concert. The fries were a pretty good flavour too. Staff was friendly too. I will likely give this place another try if I stay at the Best Western nearby the next time I am in Calgary. The bathroom was clean too.
Came here with my family for dinner after visit Stanley Park. The burgers are awesome! Very juicy, not oily, fries are not fast food type. Filet taste great as well. If you looking for a fast bite, this is recommended for you.
My husband found his new favourite burgers in Calgary. They are so crispy, fresh and delicious, they even brought us soup while we were waiting. You have to try this place!
The burger made me had a ratatouille moment. The chicken soup was really awesome too.
We didn’t make it past the ordering process. Wanted to order the peri-peri fries for $10 but then we learned that the sauce is not included in the price, and that is an extra $2, you can’t order it without sauce. Why not just advertise it on the menu as $12??? There was nobody around to talk to about this as it is self-service kiosk so we left.
Very disappointed with the quality. The burger was greasy, and the bun tasted like it had been sitting around for a while.
I stopped in as I was walking by the location, I had no idea it even existed! I placed my order, burger and fries and it did not disappoint! Saucy, fresh, hot with the softest fluffiest bun! As I was waiting for my food, the girl brought me a complimentary bowl of piping hot delicious soup!! ((Thank you sweet girl)) I highly recommend and will definitely visit again #cravable its what burger 🍔 dreams are made of!!
Love it!! Will come again for sure. Especially fish burger was amazing 🤩
🥯 Came here for the first time today and we really loved it. Unlike a lot of small burger spots where you usually catch that stale oil smell, the place was super clean, cozy, and inviting. The service was quick and fast, and the food turned out incredibly delicious and high quality. The burgers are a great size and totally filling. The chairs are comfortable too, which makes the vibe even better. All in all, it’s a cool, unique spot and we will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend checking it out!👍👍👍👍👍
❄️ It was snowing outside, and all I could think about was burgers & fries! 🍔🍟 The complimentary corn soup was sooo yummy, warm and comforting 🤍 Tried their Chicken Burger, Holy Burger, Fish Burger & Peri Peri Fries, and everything was sooo soo good! 😍🔥 Definitely hit the spot on a snowy day! The best part? The amazing staff and their lovely service! 🫶🏻✨
Great service. Complimentary soup on all meals are great. Great burgers and fish. worth your time and money
One of the best burgers I’ve ever had! Absolutely delicious. And the workers there are super nice!
We had a great experience at Burger Mechanic! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted, and the person taking our order was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We ordered burgers and fries, and everything was made fresh to order. We could see the fries being put into the fryer after we placed our order, which made the short wait well worth it. The food was served promptly, and it was exactly what we needed after working up an appetite. The restaurant was clean, including the restrooms, and the service throughout our visit was excellent. If you’re looking for fresh, delicious burgers and great customer service, I definitely recommend giving Burger Mechanic a try!
About The Burger Mechanic - The English Fish and Chips Shop
Smash burger and English-style fish and chips shop on Macleod Trail SE near Chinook, where the burgers are 100% halal and the menus say so. There is no pork on the menu, and beef bacon is used in place of pork bacon.
What to order
Order the Holy Beef Burger, or try the spicy chicken burger if you want chicken. The peri peri fries are a strong side, and the haddock fish and chips are light and crisp rather than greasy. Everything is made from scratch, and the fish burger is a good alternative if you want something different.
What to expect
It is a relaxed, roomy place with plenty of seating, so it works well for a family dinner or a big group. A complimentary cup of soup is often offered while you wait, and the chicken and corn soups are warm and comforting on a cold day. Bring a drink along if you want water with your meal. The portions are large and filling, and everything is made to order, so the short wait at busy times is well worth it.
