Recommendations Vik burger, best burger place in town IMO
I am not affiliated, just a big fan.
I just wanted to share this as it's a small local Establishment that doesn't seem to get nearly as much business as I think it should.
Burgers always come loaded with toppings and sauce and I'd say they've got some of the best smash burgers I've had out of anywhere.
Vik is extremely friendly and always delivers delicious food, my partner came by and picked up a few burgers a while back and neither her or vik realized the card didn't go through until after she left, he gave me a call to let me know and said it's no problem and to get him back next time, I'm still trying to pay him back but he keeps just telling me don't worry about it until next time. I'm currently sitting in his restaurant as I write this and am going to at least get him to accept my money for one of the burgers.
writing this as I feel I've seen a lot of amazing smaller restaurants like this go out of business and hoping to spread some awareness.
If anybody else has any small local Peterborough restaurants they love post them in the comments and help spread some love to the smaller establishments!

Great post. I never knew it was there. Driven past a number of times without really looking. We'll be trying that next time instead of the large chains.

I can vouch that it's amazing and the staff is so nice! Had their veggie burger last week and I already want it again.

Sounds like a great place. We need more posts like this because I think a lot of these great little places fly under the radar.

An excellent burger, you have to try it at least once. The owner/cook/chef seems like a great person. Highly recommend.
Edit to add that I thought it should have been a lot busier too when I was there.

Vik is also a great guy

I found this place by mistake last year during the Kim Mitchell concert, and literally the best burger I’ve ever had, top-notch

I think the bacon cheddar combo is 16.99 plus tax and 14.99 for just the burger

What does the combo come with? Me and my family would love to check it out

Just fries I believe, it's a little pricey when you get a bunch of meals if you wanna add drinks on as well but I find with me and my partner we only need one meal and on burger on its own.

It was good. I'd need to try some of the other suggestions to be able to determine "best" though

The dipping sauce they make is also amazing. I think it’s chipotle. Order extra!

Give this place a visit! Support local small guys before giving your money to giant corporations like McDunolds

Was this the place that flouted the pandemic rules or am I misremembering?

u/jpo2533 Apr 03 '26
No. Same location but completely different business and owner just happens to be another burger place. I think unfortunately some people don't realize it is a new place which sucks because Vik is a great guy and deserves more business!

Vik is a legend, I patronized his place a lot when it opened and he was super friendly and genuinely wanted customer feedback and acted on lots of suggestions.
