One thing that Halifax has a great selection of, is the wide variety of local craft beers that are available to choose from. Many of these local brews have become extremely popular for many Haligonians. One place that contributes to the delicious selection of beer is Rogue’s Roost. Located at 5435 Spring Garden Road, Rogue’s Roost not only brews a great selection of beer, but they also have a pretty tasty menu. Wanting to check off another Spring Garden burger, I went with their Swiss & Mushroom Burger.

While a classic burger can be a pretty good time, sometimes you need a burger that sounds so crazy that it may just be super delicious. The Argyle, located at 1575 Argyle Street, has a burger on their menu that is so jam-packed full of toppings that it is borderline outrageous. This burger is appropriately named the Everything Burger.

With the end of the summer season just around the corner, the next stop on my burger adventure took me to one of the many restaurants located on the Halifax Waterfront. Salty’s, located at 1877 Upper Water Street, features a menu that is mostly comprised of different seafood options. However, they still have some choices for those looking for something from the land. I went with their Bacon Cheese Burger.

After a bit of a break from the burger life (sometimes work gets in the way), I figured it was time to get back to it. For this burger, I went to a favourite place of mine, The Fickle Frog. Located at 5675 Spring Garden Road, The Fickle Frog is a great place to grab a beer and a meal without having to go deep into downtown Halifax. With a wide range of food on their menu, there is sure to be something to satisfy even the most pickiest of eaters. For this burger, I went with The Frog Burger.

Burger #16 – Big Eats (Eats Mobile)

August 8, 2014November 12, 2015 / life-of-burgers / Leave a comment

From the moment I heard “Food Truck Party” I knew there was no way that I was going to pass up on this opportunity. The Coast (a popular Halifax paper) hosted this wonderful Food Truck Party in the parking lot of the Museum of Natural History. Unsure of what burger related things I would find there, I eventually settled on the Eats Mobile food truck and their Big Eats burger.

*For this burger, I’m not going to do the ratings as I feel that this is a special circumstance and it wouldn’t be fair to compare it with the other burgers.

Stats

From the menu: “A 7oz handmade 100% beef patty loaded with lettuce, tomato, & sautéed onion”

Feeling the burger hunger once again, I decided that it was time for burger #15. The hunger hit as I was walking on Quinpool, so I decided to head into Freeman’s to try one of their burgers. Located at 6092 Quinpool Road, Freeman’s has become a pretty popular spot for both beer-drinkers and late night eaters. I had eaten here many times before, and also had food delivered for numerous late night meals (they deliver until 5 AM!). For this burger, I went with the Fiery Smokehouse Cheddar Burger.

From the menu: “Bold & spicy… topped with cheddar, hot peppers, bacon, lettuce, onion, tomato and our smokey BBQ-ranch sauce”
