The Rude Boy

1
397 Roncesvalles Ave, Toronto, ON M6R 2N1

Freshly-ground chuck and homemade condiments are this rude boy’s secret to burger success. Locally-sourced beef is complemented with unique toppings such as Blanche de Chambly (beer) mustard and “baconaise.” If you need a little something on the side, choose from beer-battered onion rings or kimchi fries. While The Rude Boy is situated in the heart of Little Poland, it’s willing to give the perogy shops a run for their money.
