SINCE 2013
THE GUILTY ORIGIN
The Guilty Burger began, as most good things do, with a bit of obsession.
Chef Winston Easey has been cooking for decades—starting with private catering in Niagara-on-the-Lake before opening Fokus Café in the late ’90s, and later Saint Winston’s Martini Bar in 2000. Each step shaped a style that’s simple, bold, and never overdone.
In 2013, The Guilty Burger made its debut on St. Paul Street in St. Catharines, followed by a Niagara Falls location at Five Corners.
Today, we've found a new home at Reif Estate Winery—where things are a little slower, and just a little more indulgent. Inspired by European-style patios and Reif-ined pleasures (see what I did there). It is here that we combined the rustic charm of the vineyards with an edgy, contemporary take on gourmet comfort food.

Our Philosophy
PURE BRISKET.
NO FILLERS.
We believe in the raw honesty of quality ingredients. Our signature patties are crafted from 100% fresh, ground-in-house beef brisket. It is an elevated yet relaxed dining experience where the burger finally meets the high standards of the Niagara wine country.
