Meet our Platinum Ultimate Burgers
The Grand Royale
Madmash Brewery & Restaurant
Roll out the red carpet for The Grand Royale! We took a juicy quarter-pound smash patty and gave it the crown it deserves: rich melted Havarti, crispy bacon, delicate crispy leeks, and a luxurious spread of sweet fig jam to bring it all together. The true crowning glory is the bun: a warm, buttery, flaky croissant that holds this sweet and savory masterpiece together. Undeniably majestic.

Meet our Ambassadors
Signature Burger: Double smash burger with plenty of juice. I’d dress it with lots of sharp cheddar and bacon. It would also be topped with tomato, onions, dill pickles and a large soft bun.
Signature Burger: My signature burger would be the bacon cheeseburger; it may be plain, but it’s a classic!
Signature Burger: A juicy thick Angus beef patty cooked medium-rare, topped with a perfectly runny-yolk fried egg, caramelized onions, fresh tomatoes, and crisp lettuce, all tucked into a soft brioche bun with ketchup. Simple, juicy, and full of flavour!
Dan’s Signature Burger: I love many burgers, but if I’m the one making it: 2 smash patties, lettuce, tomato, a special type of cheese like Havarti, mayo, ketchup, mustard, relish.
Marcie’s Signature Burger: I usually gravitate more toward chicken burgers than beef burgers. My ideal chicken burger would have a breaded patty with Havarti cheese, lettuce, mayo and maybe some bacon. If I had to build a beef burger, I’d make a smash burger with Havarti cheese, fried onions, lettuce, ketchup, and mayo.
Signature Burger: 2 fresh beef patties, Gunn’s Hill 5 Brother Cheese (melts beautifully), caramelized mushrooms, crispy bacon, maple-garlic aioli, lettuce, tomato, on a toasted brioche bun. Yummy!
Signature Burger: A juicy double-smashed beef patty seared to perfection and layered with caramelized onions, crisp lettuce, melted aged cheddar and smoky maple bacon. Add a hint of maple glaze, then crown it with a dollop of creamy garlic butter. It’s a little bit of sizzle, a lot of local love and totally pickle-free!
Signature Burger: Smoked sirloin burger with Monterey Jack cheese, chipotle sauce, grilled onion, and jalapeños.
Signature Burger: I’m a classic kind of guy – thick Angus patty, lettuce, cheese, red onion (MUST be red), mayo, ketchup, relish, and pickles.
Signature Burger: Two crispy yet juicy smashed patties layered with melted cheddar, smoked bacon, fresh lettuce, onions, and whatever house-made special sauce I can get my hands on, stacked on a toasted potato bun.
Signature Burger:
It starts with a thick, juicy, flame-grilled beef patty, generously stuffed with rich, sharp cheddar cheese and diced jalapeños. As you bite in, warm, melted cheddar spills from the centre, bringing a delicious kick of heat.
Layer on crispy, smoky bacon, sweet onions, cool, crunchy lettuce, and tangy dill pickles for the perfect balance of flavours.
Then comes the finishing touch: a creamy, zesty jalapeño burger sauce, bringing together the richness of mayo, the tang of mustard, and a hint of sweetness from ketchup all nestled between two halves of a golden, buttery toasted brioche bun.
Hot and messy? Yes, but worth every napkin!
