Has anyone had a chance to try out Costco's Angus cheeseburger? It comes with fries and pop for $5.99. I had one earlier this week, and I'm chomping down on one now. Besides being an awesome deal, it tastes really good, too. The patty is thick (around 3/4"), and the burger alone really fills me up. I like to load it up with onions.

I fully endorse this burger! I wish they sold the burger on it's own, but hey, this is Costco.

[InvisibleSoul]

Saw it yesterday, but decided to just get the standard hot dog. Maybe next time I'll grab one of these...

I believe it's a 1/2 pound patty.

[HonestTea]

damn that sounds good!

[nns]

Pics?

[ctsport]

Thanks for the heads up, will try it next time! :D

[akira112]

Have to disagree. Not worth it. Patty comes out of a steaming bin.

[Durrann1984]

ooh yeah i saw it being advertised
dam i want one now lol

[SiR001]

it's not bad for the price - drink fries and decent burger (when I say decent = value for dollar, ok quality)

[Durrann1984]

after reading this forum i went to costco to try the burger

yeah it was decent..i was hoping the burger would've been made fresh but oh well gotta serve it up fast

still a tasty burger nonetheless

[n1smo]

i had one on the weekend it was worth it

[J32A2-S]

wonder if its the same angus burger patties that they sell in the freezers
bought them last year for a bbq and they were great!

[ShanghaiKid]

they are, the frozen prime rib angus burgers that costco sells

being someone who works there, i get sick of looking at some of the foodcourt food, but the burger is undeniably a good deal, albeit a little lacking in the authentic "burger" meal (they don't look/taste as fresh as they ought to be)

otherwise, its fine to have one once in a while, just make sure you load it with onions and bbq sauce (little packets that come w/ chicken strips).

[Not really racist!]

Hows everything else in the food court?

Ice cream, fries, chicken strips, pizza, hot dogs etc.

[wahyinghung]

It's Pretty good however they have taken out the ribs and fries from the menu in order to make room for it:( ..........

[CRS]

Honestly, Costco has to be up there in fast food type style food.

Everything that you listed is actually pretty good. There is no "bad choice" there.

I love the fries. They are pretty amazing.

[Manic!]

Have had the burger twice and the patty is pretty plain and a little dry. The best things on their menu are the hot dogs and the Montreal smoked meatt

[Amuse]

The ribs and fries were awesome..sucks that they took it out

[Not really racist!]

Wait wtf?
They don't serve the fries anymore?

Or is it just that they took it out of the menu at the top so they could have room to pormote the Angus Chesseburger Combo..

[Razor Ramon HG]

Best deal ever is the hot dog.

[InvisibleSoul]

Of course they still serve fries... just no more ribs.

[hamsup]

the frozen burgers were on sale this past weekend.. i bought a package.. .it came in a box of 16s i think. they were delicious !

[m3thods]

Best deal ever is the hot dog.

werd.

Poutine is pretty good for the price. Comparing it to shit from KFC/Church's etc for the same price, it's pretty dang good.

Question for the burger- condiments are self serve like for the hot dogs? Or are they already in there when it's served to you?

[Durrann1984]

^^ self serve

[skholla]

i went to costco one day during lunch time and took a look at the ribs, they didnt look too good so i turned around and walked away. i hope the burger is better, Presto would you say that its better than a FatBurger?

[Manic!]

The ribs were not that good. Fat Burger is nothing great. I would put these in the same class as Fat Burger.

[skholla]

That's what I thought it would be, I prefer Vera's or Moderne burger anyways but that's about $15 for a combo. I really want to try the DB Burger at DB Bistro Moderne.

I like Vera's a lot more than Moderne. The Moderne burger tastes great but is quite small in comparison, and also costs a lot more. Plus Vera's has a larger variety of sides like yam fries and onion rings, instead of just regular potato fries.

[Teriyaki]

They sell the burger on its own. On sale right now for less than $1/patty! ;)

i do like a vera burger with avocodo and an egg and olives and feta :D

+1

the hot dogs are super awesome and a good cheap deal. I heard the poutine and montreal style smoked meat sandwich are good too. Ice cream is ice cream, can't go wrong. Also, one poutine=full day of calories and one hot dog=insane amoutns of fat...so yeah, up there with all the fast food place criteria!

[ShanghaiKid]

Which one?

they're called belmont prime rib angus burgers, think they went on sale last week for like 14$/16 patties

[XplodeTheBass]

The poutine is sooooo big for its price, u get like a small at dq or kfc for the same price. They needa bring back churros :'(

[sweetiee]

omgawd !! i really really want one now! saw my bf eating it the other day, but had my wisdom tooth taken out so i can only WATCH! that was rough...

Angus beef burger + twist ice cream cone ... mMmM...

[Z3guy]

I haven't been to Costco in a while, do they still have the Lobster Sandwich?

[InvisibleSoul]

I haven't been to Costco in a while, do they still have the Lobster Sandwich?
When did they ever have that?

[Z3guy]

They used to have it 2 summers ago...it was like 8 bucks....and fucking good....I guess they got rid of it.....

On a seperate note has anyone tried the Crab Chowder they used to sell?...can't remember the brand, but it was damn good!

[Presto]

What I like about the burger is the ability to customize the condiments, and how much you want to use. I like to load it up with a lot of onions and some ketchup. Man... i'm gonna go and get one now.

[mako]

i didnt like it

Harvey's angus is tops

[nismosx]

ive tried the ribs before and they are pretty good and i asked for extra bbq sauce
its fingerlicking good

[hirevtuner]

tried the angus burger today and was totally disappointed
the burger patty must be overcooked like hell when i had the first bite it was pretty rock hard

fail~!
next time i'll stick with my hotdog instead

[HonestTea]

A bit OT but I bought an "Angus" Burger with Cheddar at MCD the other day and I was totally disappointed with the food and shocked at the price.

$8.75 for a Angus Burger w/ Cheddar meal...Holy fuck! $9 for a damn meal at MCD...talk about expensive and the burger tasted bland and horrible as well... 2/10 :(

Pretty effed up since you can get something at Earls or Cactus for that price. Well, not exactly that price but can be considered in the same range.

[dark0821]

but i mean.. you are eating out.. so you know.. its the way it is..

oh my ... the horror

save yourself next time and goto Harvey's

same price AND you get a real Angus burger

[Hondaracer]

i didnt like it

Harvey's angus is tops

Harvey's burgers taste like fucking hot dogs..

the meat tastes exactly like your eating a plain old little schnieders weiner, it's fucking gross, it probably tastes like that cause they are so processed to get the "angus" apeal to them

[mako]

i'd rather eat hot dogs than the so-called angus crap they have at McDonalds or Costco

[Hondaracer]

trust me, if anything Harveys burgers are probably more processed then the costco ones, they way they taste just isnt right..

[johny]

the Hawaii pizza was really good last time I had it.

[CRS]

Alright, so I decided to go yesterday and take some pictures while I was at it.

It was pretty good. The only thing I could compare it with is Bon's Burger but then again, that is a different story.

[dark0821]

wow.. should drop by today and try it i guess

[albert116]

tried it today

it's alright for 6 bucks...would probably be better if they melted the cheese, in my opinion.

[Hondaracer]

looks pretty good

[pamplemousse]

put the cheese under the patty before you eat it

[winson604]

Totally agree that Costco fast food is by far one of the best. Can never go wrong with the hotdog deal either.

[WHEYsted]

oh my ... the horror

save yourself next time and goto Harvey's

...AND for a limited time right now you get a free "gift burger."

[mako]

so i hear they're using a new kind of wiener now

i forget how the old one tasted like but this one's damn good :thumbsup:

[HonestTea]

Do you need Costco's membership to buy stuff from their Fast-Food Counter?

[Presto]

Nope.. you can just go in through the exit and bee-line to the food counter. It's even easier at the GM Place location, they have it right outside.

[saveth]

^ actually i've been asked to show my membership card when i did this at the surrey location. I couldn't believe it myself.

[-lincolnboi-]

the burger was alright, would probably get it again in the near future. Also can't go wrong with a hotdog+ drink + A LOT of fries for under $4.50;)

[TRDood]

had a burger combo while waiting for the RP show tonight.

it was a good deal for 5.99! i would take that anyday > McChicken meal.

they served it quick too.. there were about 50 ppl lining up for food... i waited in line for only about 10 mins!

Yes, you do need a membership to eat there.

You can go through the EXIT and hope to not be seen and asked to show your membership card..

[Durrann1984]

costco is gay
cant even go in to chek things out without a card

not like we can purchase it anyway
just there to look


products arent even cheap

[InvisibleSoul]

Yes, you do need a membership to eat there.

No you don't...

Even if the "official" policy is that you do, they don't care whatsoever. EVERYONE goes in the EXIT to go buy food... if they really cared, they would stop people, or check membership cards when buying the food.

I mean, the new Costco downtown has the food counter set up right by the street... looks pretty inviting for all passerbys.

costco is gay

Sure you can... just go through the EXIT. Have done it many times... even though I have a membership.

[winson604]

^^
second that. they've never checked my card when I walk to the exit side which is where the food court is. Plus if the person at the door hassles you you could always bullshit and say your going to get a new card then you just walk to the food court when their not looking. Although you probably never need to do this.

[skholla]

i had a cheeseburger the other day at the richmond costco and it was okay, not great but good for the price. a few hours later i deeply regretted eating it as it wasnt so nice to me while i was sitting on the toilet.

[mako]

they dont let you in if you're ugly

[Durrann1984]

no wonder they dont let u in

[mako]

i wouldnt want to eat their crappy burgers

[optiblue]

I love that burger!

[LC21]

Have you tried mcdonald's angus burger? AHAHA

The cheese looks like sweaty plastic.

[CRS]

The cheese looks like sweaty plastic.

Aged cheese often has that effect.

It is amazing how little people know about cheese when all they have seen and tasted are like crap cheddar, maybe havarti, swiss emanthall and nothing else.
Only the mass produced creamy textures and not the hard and sharp tastes.

[Meowjin]

^hey havarti is delicious, do not fucking diss it.

[dlu]

^ yeah.. id say havarti is the ultimate sandwich cheese

[orange7]

costco food > ikea food?

[Vansterdam]

cheeze is the shit, ikea is good on some things cant fuck with their hotdogs LOL

[orange7]

^
LOL.. H_n_y.... It's pretty hard to fuck up on hotdogs.. Unless they overcook it, but that is about as bad as it can get (excluding other factors).
