It's Valentine's Day and most of the restaurant is fully book. I tried calling this place and luckily we got a seat for 9pm. The place is nice and cozy. The staff are very very nice (I did not get his name) he recommend the Rib eye steak and it's so soft and good (medium rare) my BF describe his chicken awesome. We cleaned our plates. The food did not disappoint. Tastes so good. Will come back again. read more

My friend ordered food for us to go from here and I was expecting a bit more. The quality of the food was good however it was simply lacking flavour. We had steak, mashed potatoes and veggies and every part of the dish was a bit underwhelming. read more

First time at this place last weekend. A fantastic meal, stellar service and great old school steakhouse feel. Definitely going back!

The restaurant is somewhat unassuming from the outside. I've been passing by it for a number of years, and finally tried it as I came across some positive reviews. I'm happy that I did. The food was excellent. I made a reservation to celebrate a birthday. My nephew loves a good steak and ordered the peppercorn steak. He was not disappointed. His gf ordered the schnitzel which was one of the specials recommended by our server, and I had the chicken Marsala. Both of us were very happy with our choices. Chicken was extremely tender, potatoes & side veggies perfectly roasted & seasoned... marsal sauce was delicious and plentiful (as I love there to be a little extra sauce rather than not enough). Our Server, Alexia (I think that was her name) was excellent... just perfect amount of attentiveness, conversation, recommendations and communication. we had a complim slice of cheesecake for the bday guest, and we also ordered the chocolate lava cake which was delicious and perfect to finish off our meal. I will definitely return and highly recommend this restaurant, Blackhorn, I wish I had tried it earlier. read more

I haven't been eating steaks as much. This has been my first visit so first impressions count. The place doesn't look very appealing from the outside. The inside however is pretty nice. Perhaps a bit dated but mostly well maintained and also includes a bar. The A/C unit looked like something from the 80s. All in all it was a rather nice atmosphere. Not crowded or noisy like most places, but this was also on a Tuesday. Just a couple other tables were occupied during our visit. The music was not bad, mostly just tunes of popular songs. It's a good place to celebrate special occasions. I found the bread to be a bit small, but still good with the butter provided. I ordered the $42.95 blackened pepper steak, which was said to be 10 oz. It came with a chicken and rice soup, which was interesting but good. I ordered fries and rice as the two included sides. The rice was nothing special, but went great with the steak. The fries perhaps had a light coating that made them different from the plain and regular Swiss Chalet fries. I enjoyed the fries here. I hardly order steak but this was one of the top ones in terms of how well it was cooked. Juicy and just right with the seasoning. As close to perfection as you can get. I enjoyed every bite. General rule is that if I'm still thinking about a meal days after, it's usually something good. Can't speak for everyone else at the table since it does depend on what you order. Our waiter was very jovial. I had asked about the specials and he listed each one. He later took the time to interact and speak to our table. Service was still good with only one waiter. I can't quite afford to dine here often, but it was a rather pleasant experience. Worth a try if you haven't been. read more

Old fashioned restaurant with original vintage decor. Between 6-8pm on a weekday there were only 2 other tables so it's a quiet ambiance. Service was okay; a few things were missed from the order. Food was simple: Garlic bread was crispy and buttery with semi melted shredded cheese on top. Seafood pasta had perfectly cooked pasta, mussels in shells nicely placed around the plate and few salmon pieces and two shrimps mixed in. Classic Alfredo sauce, though more on the liquidy/soupy side. Cheesecake was fluffy and creamy and the coffee offset the sweetness. Good for an intimate dinner if you're not into anything fancy. read more

We love this place! The steaks are always cooked to perfection, the service is great and the subdued ambiance is great for us 'older' folks. If you are in Scarbough looking for a great steak without noise or commotion I would recommend going to Blackhorn. read more

Tucked away in a small strip mall, the Blackhorn offers an elegant dining atmosphere, attentive, experienced service, and ample parking. My daughter and I were running late, and when we got there, discovered that the others in our party, namely my husband and father-in-law, had provided some in-house entertainment by spilling a glass of wine all over the table cloth! Nice way to start off, right, but the staff cheerfully replaced the table cloth and cleaned everything up by the time my daughter and I arrived on the scene. Well, that was a fine way to start, and I was expecting grumpy service. The service was lovely. Our waitstaff was spot-on with providing our courses in a timely way, and willingly offered informed opinions about our selections. We started off with the Saganaki "Opa" cheese, which was both flavourful and fun, nicely busting into flames at our table. My husband had a large New York Strip steak, cooked to a perfect medium rare, with sides that accommodated his Keto diet. My daughter and I had decided to take a cheat night from Keto, and ordered Steak Neptune. Oh my! So good! The steak had a nice smoky flavour, and the crab with Bernaise Sauce and asparagus was absolutely luxurious. My father-in-law enjoyed the lamb chops, which were done to his requested Medium. All in all, a lovely night out. Portions were ample, the atmosphere pleasant and quiet (except for the occasional "Opa!") We will be back. The prices are roughly on par with The Keg, but a less busy atmosphere. I think that, possibly, the Blackhorn provides a better cut of steak for the price that you pay. In any case, if you are looking for a steakhouse, the Blackhorn is certainly work a try. read more

It was really good also I guess it's the best steak in the town so far other places I don't know

I would have never guessed this restaurant to be what it was. It's in a very small plaza around the corner from costco. The inside is decorated like a vintage steakhouse and gives off a cozy feeling. The service was great and very fast, with the owner coming in to check on us often as well. We had garlic bread and fried kalamari to start and both were really good. Each main meal comes with either a salad or soup and bread for the table. I shared a fettuccine alfredo and breaded schnitzel for dinner and both dishes were huge and tasted great. You'll definitely leave this place feeling stuffed. This place is maybe a bit more expensive than your average place in scarborough but it's worth it for the amount you get. We were celebrating a birthday and were able to bring our own cake as well. Overall very impressed. read more

3.5/5, +.5 for service After being shut out of other steakhouses in the city for Christmas Day due to it being fully booked, I came across Blackhorn Steakhouse and decided to try this place out, as the menu looked promising and the reviews seemed excellent. The interior is quite dark. Not a lot of lighting, which was a pretty good atmosphere for a date...although most of the customers here that night were of the older clientele. There was a special Christmas Day menu that day. To be honest I never looked at the actual menu, so I wasn't sure if there were price differences or selection changes, but at least everything that my family and I wanted were all in the menu. I had the green peppercorn steak, followed by the trufflicious cake. My family also shared escargots as an appetizer. The escargots were not the best; while they were plentiful, the pieces were quite small and I tasted a lot more of the cheese than the escargot itself. The peppercorn steak, however, was excellent. Perfectly cooked medium rare, juicy, and the peppercorn added a nice zesty touch to it. The trufflicious cake was decent, but it was kinda overshadowed by the tiramisu cake my parents ordered, which was superior to the trufflicious cake in taste IMO. Service was excellent, and the food was very reasonably priced. I'll definitely return for other special occasions, and perhaps try some other items since it seemed the Christmas Day menu was limited compared to their wealth of steak options available. read more

This is a quaint, hidden and long standing steakhouse in Scarborough, The back of the restaurant was very dim with candles, which was pretty romantic, but the front was bright with the window facing a bland patio and street. Food is reasonably priced at around $30.00 dollars per steak, which includes a salad, veggies and your choice of potato. Note that there is an upgrade fee of $3.95 for the ceasar salad and an upgrade fee of $1.00 for the baked potato. Overall, the steak was cooked well. The striploin had a charred taste and the filet was delicate and buttery. The bruschetta and the garlic bread were tasty appetizers to begin with, but they also serve warm bread with huge slabs of butter if you do not wish to order an appetizer. The downsides to this place is that the ceasar salad didn't really have a kick to it, it was bland for me, however, I do like lots of garlic and anchovies in my ceasar salad dressing. The view by the window has much to be desired and the waitress was really unrefined! She did not mention the daily specials as the other waitresses did at the other tables and she even made a comment "You guys are slow!!! (eating)", which of course made me feel weird because, what does she want us to do? is this a buffet that we have an hour limit? Is this Mcdonalds? It's a fairly decent priced steakhouse, but it is still a steakhouse and do not need to be rushed out of there. I think if the service was just ok, instead of being so unrefined, I would be inclined to give this four stars. I really like the fact that it is not a chain restaurant and that the steak was pretty good. However, the baked potato had only sour cream, the fries were the frozen kind and the ceasar salad was not that special. The pickles were amazing. I am not sure if the bread they used for the bruschetta and garlic bread is baked in house. That is why I would have given this a four star. It was three star because I have no idea what happened with the waitress?!? confused. The coffee was really good and is free refills. read more

Absolutely delicious!!!!!! I was skeptical, I live in brampton and was meeting old friends from Durham. I picked the place and yes I went on yelp to find it, as I'm not familiar with the location. They could use more servers and less tables. Eventhou I didn't find we were overhearing the other tables conversation. We were close The fodd, absolutely delicious. I had the sole, the rest of the table had meat. Great all around. Serve was good, attentive although I found she was a lil rushed at times. That's bc they didn't have enough servers. I'd give it a 9.95/10 read more

Some of the best steak I've ever had. Great service. The prices are a bit steep. I mean, $11 for one glass of wine? It IS a fine dining establishment, but I felt a bit fleeced in that glass. Otherwise, a fantastic place. read more

Blackhorn Steakhouse - Daily Special - Prime Rib Roast - Steakhouses Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

This is probably the worst steakhouse. Been twice and had to send back my steak both times. First time ordered Pittsburgh style rare and got a charred steak med. Second time was a NY striploin wrapped in bacon on special and I ordered rare and received med well. Waitress told me to eat the middle. Excuse me but I want to eat the whole steak and enjoy it. Sent it back. Garlic bread is good though. Too bad I sat and watched my dinner date eat while I waited. Killed the mood and was his bday. Will never go back. I'd spend the extra cash and go to any other steakhouse. Always give one chance to every restaurant. My dinner date ordered the prime rib and was satisfied with med rare cut and a large portion. At least he had a good meal for his bday. Just not happy being told to only eat the center. Not good customer service. That was rude. read more

Blackhorn Steakhouse - Interesting way to serve a steak. Bacon was still uncooked. Didn't eat that. This was the second order. - Steakhouses Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

I've passed by this place countless of times for over 30 years and finally made it in for dinner. I'm glad I did. This is honestly the best steak house in Scarborough. From the looks of the dining room it feels like it is stuck in the past, but in this case that's a good thing. This is a family run steakhouse and it shows. They don't treat you like a customer, they treat you like family. And this was my families first time here! We started with appetizers: Garlic bread - cheesy and buttery, so good Village Greek Salad - they way greek salad should be, good olive oil, fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and ofcourse, huge pieces of Feta. Soup of the day - lentil soup, not what I was expecting as I usually don't like lentils.This was great. Light soup full of flavor, and a family recipe that they were happy to share with us. Not kidding, they told us how to make it. (Like i said, treated like family, not a customer) We then had our steaks. New York for me, Medallions and Filet for the girls. So, so good. Good portions, cooked perfectly, tender, and juicy. Why we've never had dinner here before, regretfully I cannot answer. But I do know I will be coming back again and again when we want a good steak dinner. The only negative with this experience was the lighting. It is very dark in here. And when they stuff you with so much good food its easy to fall asleep. But I can live with that for sure. Would 100% recommend this spot. read more

First time here. Doesn't look like much from outside in strip plaza. Quaint old look to the steakhouse. Some greek food on menu. Excellent greek salad. Steaks were amazing also! Very flavourful! I will definitely be back! read more

This was my first experience and would definitely go again. The service was perfect! The owner went to each table to ensure that everyone enjoyed themselves. Kim our server allowed enough time for talking and timed everything perfectly. She knew when to approach us and always ensured that our drinks were plentiful. Our food was nicely presented. It was tasty and perfectly cooked. The only thing I am unsure about is if there is an accessible washroom for those in chairs or walkers as it is an older establishment. All in all ... a great evening. I hope you try it out! read more

My dad took us to this place around 40 years ago. He loved it. And he took me there until he couldn't. As a kid, getting to the frosty mints, and maybe a rose as we left, was magical. We went there for years. The food was always outstanding. The service was great. And those green bar lights are still there! In good way. The memories of Blackhorn and my dad are so special. Thanks to their great food and "classic" ambience. The Blackhorn is a rare classic. read more

Everything was amazing. We got fried calamari as an appetizer. It was light and had good-sized pieces of tasty calamari (not a ton of batter and grease). As for the entrees, Chicken Parm was huge and delicious - everyone in my party agreed. 3 others in my party got various steaks - bacon wrapped, with mushroom sauce, etc..and one got Pork Souvlaki. Everyone was very happy and surprised - comments were: juicy, tender, tasty. I also liked the pickles they serve with bread at the start of the meal. There were not a lot of people there (weekday night), the waitress was very friendly and both owners were around and greeted us - this is just a very authentic restaurant all around..it's dark, and decor is dated, but I think that just made me like it more. The only thing I would ask for is more vegetables to be served with the entrees. The entrees are really just meat. I'm probably the only person would want this though.. As someone said, prices are similar to The Keg which is very fair for the quality you get. read more

My fave spot for classic prime rib dinner. Med rare, garlic mashed, horse radish on the side. Glass of red wine. Followed up with the chocolate torte. Soooo good. And if Garlic Cheesebread had a god - then the garlic cheesebread here would be that god. Atmosphere is quiet - so you can actually have a conversation, and right now, they are doing take out, so you can still have the food and support them. This is definitely a business I want to see survive! read more

The food ,excellent service and warm welcome made our recent family event a huge success.

We visited the Blackhorn when we were visiting Toronto from out of town. We went there based in the Yelp reviews and were so happy that we did. We likely wouldn't have found and/or chosen this lovely place otherwise as it looks like any other strip mall restaurant from the outside. When you walk in, the decor is dark and dated, but the staff were very welcoming and made it feel quaint and charming and intimate. After a yummy plate of pickles and a yummy bowl of bread, it was a short wait for 3 plates of pasta and meat. Ample food portions, well cooked meat and veggies made this all better than any chain restaurant we would have considered as an alternative. Sure, it likely costs 3-8 dollars more per plate, but in our opinion, well worth it. We would gladly visit again! read more

A wonderful steakhouse. Very tasty. George and Helen are both so friendly. Delicious food.

We love this restaurant. They are so good with our kids which is great because it gives us a nice night out as a family. The service is wonderful and the food is so good. We order takeout from them regularly (even pre-covid) and it's always been good. read more

This is definitely one of my most favourite restaurants in Toronto and has been so for years. Everything I or my husband, family and friends have tried has been top notch. My Gourmet Group of 33 years often chooses to go here when we are not planning a dinner at one of our homes. The service is always excellent. Free parking too. read more

A great spot with equally great food and service. A word of warning they like to close as early as possible so you might want to take a pass if you don't want to eat until 8:30 or so in which case you might get the impression that you are being rushed in order to get you out of the place. Having said this call the place before you scratch it off the list for a late dinner. read more

Fantastic neighborhood gem! The food does not disappoint and the staff are friendly and attentive. Each entree comes with soup or salad and portions are generous. The restaurant is surprisingly spacious with additional seating in a beautifully updated basement space. Perfect for family meals and for larger scale group gatherings.

Ordered the prime rib and tried some of the charbroiled chicken at dinner time. Rib was tender and portion size was generous for $38.95. Chicken was very moist and large as well. If you check out their website, there is a coupon for a free appetizer so we ordered the bruschetta which was very fresh and the bread was crunchy and warm. Service was spot on and she was very attentive to our table. Ambiance was a little dark but they do have all the holiday decorations up making the place very festive. Overall, I would return again for a special occasion. read more

Great menu and great value. Wife and I dined here for a date night was really impressed. The steak Neptune was great! Printed a free appetizer coupon online and they had no problem honouring it. Great service. We'll be back. read more

This place looks dark and uninviting from the outside - it located in a small strip plaza but is definitely a hidden gem! The menu has many options - steak, seafood, lamb, Souvlaki etc. Fresh pickles and bread are brought before the meals. The service is efficient. The owner or his son at times takes the order themselves and often walks around to greet the patrons. I've always ordered the steak and I've never been disappointed. The food is quality and the food is fresh - I'm tempted to say that it's even better than the Keg. read more

Excellent food, excellent service, excellent everything! Its not surprising to hear that this place has been in business since 1969! You may walk up to this place and likely think to yourself "wow, this front door needs work". Don't let yourself be deterred however. I had the 10 oz striploin New York steak and it was perfectly done. The vegetables that came with it were well prepared and the spice that came on the potatoes was excellent. The portion sizes were also very good and everyone left feeling stuffed. The Garlic Bread and Bruschetta were also excellent. Price wise its comparable to the Keg and probably other steakhouses (roughly $20-$30 entrees). I'll certainly be back. read more

I went here for lunch for green pepper corn steak, medium rare wrapped in bacon. Delicious. The deep apple pie was a nice touch too. Thank you Blackhorn! read more

Rarely am I disappointed in the food here. For the most part it is excellent. The cheese, garlic bread is to die for. It is addictive. The salads are just okay which come with the meal. The meal itself is tasty. Last visit I had the Fillet Mignon shish kabob special and it was tasty. The meat was very tender. I do wish the owners would offer more light in the restaurant. It is difficult to read the menu. Usually our service is excellent. The waitress we had on this visit was a little abrupt with us. It totally unnerved me. This has never happened before. I know we can be a bit indecisive but most of the staff usually handle our questions with ease and do not make us feel awkward. We will continue to frequent here because overall one can expect decent food and decent service. What more can you ask for? read more

Great service, one of the best in Scarborough. Although I found the steaks to be decently average, other steak on the menu is worth coming to this restaurant for. Their saganaki opa was really good, and so unique. Not to mention that the ladies working here are super helpful and sweet. I would go with one of their recommendations. Love to come back and try their Strogonoff. read more

We came in for a stake and what we got was pure awesome! After reading the Yelp reviews we made the dash over. We had the ribeye 12oz and the bacon rapped 8oz. Wow! Amazing food! So good!

And finished the date with tiramisu cheese cake! You bet your ass we will be back! read more

We recently visited the Blackthorn Steakhouse and all started off great. Grilled calamari was excellent, greek salad very fresh and tasty. Portions are generous but when the prime rib and the steak came out I might as well have thrown my shoe on the plate and tried to cut into it, would have been easier I'm sure. My jaw bone got quite a workout trying to chew on a $35 steak. A Steakhouse IT IS NOT . Friendly staff. read more

This restaurant is fantastic, the service is impeccable and the food was A1. I had the steak Neptune that was cooked to perfection and I could not believe the amount of seafood that was on top of the steak my companion had the filet mignon in the most terrific blue cheese sauce.
