A little about this place
About Rosie's Burgers Calgary
Rosie's Burgers on 8th Street SW is the Beltline branch of a Calgary halal smash-burger shop, built around a short menu of smash patties, a spicy chicken sando, crinkle-cut fries, onion rings, poutine and a rotating banana pudding. It is a small room, and most reviewers in our sample ordered takeout or delivery. The strongest praise goes to the spicy chicken sando, the crisp seasoned fries and onion rings, and consistently friendly counter staff; the signature Rosie burger has repeat customers who like that it is balanced rather than drowned in sauce.
The most common complaints are seasoning and size: four separate reviewers found the food heavily over-salted, and four more felt the patties were undersized for the price, particularly against delivery-app photos. Several reviewers also received burnt or over-fried items, and the popcorn chicken drew two complaints about dryness. The owner replies to negative reviews on the listing.
