This place may not seem like a hidden gem at first glance, but their fresh, indulgent burgers are amazing! By far, it’s the best roadside burger I've ever tasted, and I've tried plenty on my travels! It's a bit of a dive next to a convenience store, but a fantastic spot just like a small Eckgrill. Make sure to visit before it gets too popular, as it won’t be able to accommodate everyone, especially if the crowd gets... View all feedback.

This place is part of the recent car theft racket. They allow people to fraudulently use credit cards to make hundreds of dollars worth of purchases in multiple transactions knowing they 'll get paid even if the purchases are reported as fraud. When confronted with this they tell a canned response of we can 't refund that money because the tech guy is out of town crime in Burlington is out of control and places like... View all feedback.
The shopping bag is not only an old north end staple, it is a real gem, with burgers cooked fresh, which are so delicious that the shop was recognized by the food network. her most famous offer, the sizzler, is almost a meal for two. the opinions vary and the pandemic was for many a game changer, but those who leave one or two star ratings must have expectations for a very different device. it is a humble corner with a humble one. a place in the neighbourhood. the people work hard. the sandwiches and sweats fly. in the 40 years I have protected the place where it has made some of the best anti-food.
I used to live on Cedar st, about a block away from the Shopping Bag, and this place was basically my bodega. I could get toilet paper, a Sizzler, beer, detergent and maybe see a fight all in one place. The burgers are the perfect alcohol soaking grease sponges and you don't have to deal with fake niceties from the register. They check your stuff, you pay and no one has to say anything, it's great. I get the diablo, it's not that spicy because of the jalapeno poppers so I recommend hot sauce. They tend to have specials, which can be worth it. You're best off ordering online. Enjoy.
Finally made it to the shopping bag and was not disappointed. Its a small unassuming convenience store, but inside it hides a gem! I got the sizzler- it was MASSIVE juicy and rich, It is about as good a classic burger as you can get. I generally prefer things like avo, bbq, peppers/onions etc on mine to spice up the flavor… but I didnt wanna stray from what theyre known for. If youre looking For an exceptional classic burger and a local beer definitely stop by!
The Shopping bag is a small neighborhood corner convenience shop, BUT.. with a grill up front, and a butcher/meat counter in back! Sizzler burger is awesome. Grab some drinks out of cooler (they have Surge! and place your food order at the register. Staff is nice and entertaining while you wait.. can be a little long 10-15 minutes as order is made fresh, well worth it! Crowd inside can sometimes be a bit sketchy, but you can always call ahead and place orders over phone for pick up limiting the time waiting..
The Sizzler is a great burger, especially considering it’s only $7. Half pound of beef bacon and all the fixings, lettuce and tomato included. It’s made at a grill station in the front of a neighborhood store. You grab your drink and order at the cashier. It took about 10 minutes when I was there and there’s no great place to wait. Service was a little rude. It’s the kind of place where you need to be a regular.
