I've never actually been to Apache Burger, but I've passed by it countless times. It's weird how southern Etobicoke has all these little independent burger joints. There's a whole bunch of them. I've only been to Acme Burger, and it was great. Maybe I'll try another one sometime, but it probably won't be Apache Burger.
Beast in probably my favorite place to eat in Toronto currently, have never had a bad meal there.
The burger at Marben was also great, then the Chef and his staff left and the food there just went to Sh1t. I want to try the burger at his new place Richmond Station as I am sure it is great.

Oh, so you're into the fancy shmancy burgers, huh? I know there are quite a few restaurants in cities all over Canada and the US making wagyu and Kobe burgers with froie gras, truffles, and other expensive ingredients. I've had one like this before in New York and a homemade wagyu burger cooked rare, but I prefer the more plebeian offerings of somewhere like Burger Priest or Five Guys.
I honestly don't know why people sit in restaurants and eat burgers. No matter how "good" it is, it is still fast food.
I can't understand the relationship between Canadians and their burgers. It is like everywhere they go, they have the burgers. Lunch? A burger. You go to a meeting/conference, burgers are served. You have a BBQ, they make burgers. You go to a party, there are burgers on the table. Whenever there is a corporate event, everyone is biting on a burger.
Simply can't deal with those beef patties and two slices of breads. Once a month is the maximum I can stand.
There's also a five guys in North York and in Scarborough. I've been but quickly walked out. I can't believe they only have five things on their menu, I though it was just a name.
I'm not into (beef) burgers but for a non-chain I heard that johnny's hamburgers at Sheppard and Vic. Park is one of the best. There's no seating though, so you just have to grab and go.

Don't get me wrong, I love a good straight forward burger as well. In NYC I always find a way to grab a Shake Shack or in Cali and In-n-out. So no argument from me there. But there is something great about elevating a simple food to gourmet level. Comforting and innovative at the same time.
RE: Johnnys. They used to be amazing when I was a kid, but now they are terrible IMHO. They stopped grinding their meat in house and now serve frozen patties and fries. Trust me you can taste the difference. Which is a shame because I have some great memories of that place.

waited 30 minutes for shake shack last summer. totally not worth the time and the hype.
In-n-out is even worse. Totally don't understand what the fuss is about.
A burger is never "gourmet". If the ingredients are that great, I can only say it is such a pity to put them between two pieces of bread buns.
Why can't people help resisting the temptation of putting good meat between buns?
