Hero Certified Burgers is a Canadian restaurant chain franchise that sells hamburgers and other quick service restaurant fare.[1][2] It is based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and was founded in 2004.[3] It had almost 60 locations as of March 2017.[4]

The chain was founded in 2004 by John Lettieri, who opened the first store in Hazelton Lanes in Yorkville.[5] Lettieri also owns the restaurant chain Lettieri café, based in Toronto.[5] The company was the first Canadian franchise to focus on the provision of fast foods using food products from vendors that adhere to sustainable practices,[5] using sustainably-sourced beef.[1] The chain serves Cavendish Farms branded french fries from Prince Edward Island.

The chain opened a franchise in the United States in 2015 in Elmwood Village, Buffalo, New York,[6][7][8] but closed by the end of 2016.[9][10] In 2017, the chain expanded to Montreal, Quebec, but closed in 2023.[4]

The chain utilizes virtual kitchens for some of its locations.[11]
