Charcoal Pit

I recently visited Charcoal Burlington and was impressed by the cleanliness and safety measures, which made the experience very pleasant. The service was friendly and efficient, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The chicken souvlaki was amazing and definitely a highlight. Despite being around for years, the restaurant has kept its charm and delivers a satisfying dining experience. Highly recommended for a cozy outing!

Couldn’t wait until I got home to leave this review as I’m incredibly disappointed with my experience. I definitely should’ve taken a photo of the quality (or lack thereof) but it’s already in the garbage. I’ve managed restaurants for years and the first thing that immediate stuck out to me was the cold temperature inside the restaurant when it’s currently “feels like -5” outside. I sat down in a booth while waiting - the seat and table were really cold to the touch (yes I could tell through my pants) which makes zero sense to me. It’s winter and they have chosen not to have any heat turned on. They may feel warm enough working near their equipment but for your paying customers you choose to not provide a warm enough environment? I tried the Banquet Burger combo and gave up on the taste after the first 1/4 of the burger. The patty itself tastes exactly like the patties you buy from the frozen section at a grocery store and the cheese they use is a sliced processed cheese but you could truly taste that it was processed. Very similar to the taste of Kraft singles. The fries came with zero salt and whatever potato they use isn’t a good enough potato to eat without salt. You could tell the oil was dirty and probably hasn’t been changed in a while because the fries had the browning of an overdone fry but it was extremely mushy. I’m not even mad, I’m just disappointed to know that myself and other people are losing out on money for something that’s not worth it whatsoever.

My family and I used to love this place but lately we have been very disappointed with the food. Last night I ordered and thought I will give the place a mother chance. Found the most disgusting hair on my salad and that was the limit for us.

A rare gem among contemporary burger joints, this place has been delighting taste buds since the 1930s. I sampled their signature Banquet Burger Combo and I was floored. The burger was divine; the fries were equally good, if not better. The mood was electric, complemented by the superb service. The staff was affable, always welcoming each customer with a wide smile. A beautiful blend of the past and present, this place surely takes you on a nostalgic journey. Kudos to the hard-working staff who serve up such palatable delights, and all at very reasonable prices. Can’t wait for my next visit! Love ya, All ♥️🙏✌️

I was disappointed with the food during my visit. The fries were overcooked and resembled leftovers, with many tiny pieces scattered on the plate. The hotdog was also overdone, which detracted from the overall experience. I hope to see improvements in the cooking next time

Good quality burger and souvlakis. Huge portions. Tried the Greek fries. They’re ok. Free parking but limited space. Plenty of street parking though. Check them out when you’re in town.

I had a lovely lunch at Charcoal Pit eating in at their location, Lakeshore and Spencer Park! I enjoy their Salad with hot Chicken with Tzatziki Sauce! Yumm!

Ordered two bacon cheese burgers, with fries and onion rings and a banana milk shake. The food was fantastic. Best burger, onion rings and banana shake I’ve ever had. The fries were really good reminded me of peak chip truck fries. Very small restaurant, definitely worth taking a trip to Burlington to have their food.
