Best neighbourhood watering hole. Great place to relax over a beer. Friendly staff. Would definitely recommend supporting local business.

4 stars for great service and nice atmosphere. Food was okay. We had the beef nachos (pretty good) and the special of the day which was a burger with pemeal bacon. Bun was too toasted and it was hard to eat. The patty itself was good. Fries were yummy. Nice place to have drinks. read more

Walked by this place many times but like scout and Jem with boos backyard I've never come in(Not out of fear but more a lack of time). It even felt like I was entering boos' backyard as I walked towards the entrance minus the tree. As the entrance is kind of hidden, unlike most restaurants where there is a front door they have you enter from a side door, at which point you have to go through a set of drapes, kind of how the kids must've felt when they went into boo's backyard. But not like the book at all the inside is not scary, the service pretty good, and the food spectacular, In this Hipster bar. I wanted to get the Wings which go fast when they are busy, Meaning they were out at the time of my visit the Poutine was pretty was good, familiar taste to other bars I've frequented and it got even better with hot sauce, something that has never been brought to my table with poutine before, Next time I will ask for it, wherever I go. Now because I have a beyond average appetite I got the garlic shrimp which are grilled and really good, I couldn't really decide whether it tasted better with the lemon or without the lemon squeezed on top. all in all the meal with a pitcher of Canadian came to 48.53 with tax and tip. Pretty good night on the town. read more

Ooo what's gem of a bar in the Junction area! We stumbled across this bar because of the lively patio at 10 pm on a weekday, and Boo Radley's looked like the hangout spot to just chill and have good talks at. We ordered a pitcher of Henderson's Best which came out promptly crisp. I ordered the burger which came out pretty substantial with a side of (in my opinion) the most beautiful thin natural-cut fries I've had in a while. My friend ordered the 10 oz steak that was served with a heaping pile of Caesar salad and fries. We also forgot we ordered a small order of nachos - but they were soo worth the extra 1000 calories.. Atmosphere was nostalgically cozy and familiar- like you're going to your best friend's cool parents place where they had awesome selection of beer and you just felt welcomed. Service was great with a very no-frills-but-all-joy attitude. All in all, great local joint. read more

I like Boo's, primarily, because it is right next door to my house. Seriously, the attached pic is of the view from my living room picture window - that brick building is Boo's. Boo's is cool though. Mike, the owner is an amazing guy, with lots of stories to tell, real talkative and welcoming. I've gone there for family meals, as well as night caps. Their patio is the gem of the Junction Triangle, lots of seating and a big ol tree growing up through the middle of it. Sports on the screens, a dart board, pool table and a pinball machine or two. This place is a worthy and gracious local, and, being that they're my neighbour, pretty good about lending me a cup of sugar or a bulb of garlic here and there. read more

The Hubster and I came here for a casual dinner and drinks last night and were quite pleased. For one thing, we both got what we were craving foodwise (he a burger, me prime rib, their Sunday special! $14.95 WHAAAATTT?!) They also had some good choices of craft beer. Service was very friendly and the atmosphere was comfortable. The Hubster ate his entire burger and fries in a couple minutes, and I enjoyed my prime rib a little more slowly. Both were great, and I loved the fries. The meals weren't fine dining standard, but they were filling, very tasty and the price was right. They were a bit better than most pub food. When we left, we were formulating the best way to return without a car, so we could properly enjoy the place, particularly during patio season. Note, cash and debit only! read more

I live in the area and had been meaning to check out this little bar/restaurant. Came here last Monday (during the long weekend) and was surprised it was busier than I would have thought - patio was almost full. We managed to grab a small table on the patio. The menu has typical bar type food. I had the fish & chips and my fiance had the buffalo chicken sandwich - both were really good and came out super fast. Service was also super friendly. This is a great casual place to come with your friends for a bite and some drinks. I'll def be back. read more

Came here on a quiet saturday at around 10pm and the place had a decent amount of people for being in the middle of nowhere. I got the burger, which was pretty average (ingredients tasted fresh enough, and bun was soft, patty was very well done though and not super juicy). My friend got the chicken and brie sandwhich (he asked for pear jam on the side, but it came on the sandwich...it taste good, and the server asked if we were okay with it a couple of minutes later when she checked up on us and realized the mistake). The best part were the shoestring fries...Freshly fried, salted to perfection with little bits of potato skin still on them so they felt like real potato fries. It's got a very laid back mellow vibe, think dive bar, mixed with local tavern. Our water was super friendly, and apparently the menu is being updated, so I think I'll be heading back to try the new stuff when it's out. read more

Very cute and chill for a meet up with friends and some drinks ...BUT NOT TO EAT. great service and I think that's why the stars are so high lol but that's about it Food is bland and just OK, the good thing Bout it is that I don't have too much buyer's remorse cuz it's not craZy expensive but still. Ordered lb of wings ...fries ..and veggie sticks and the food came in 5 mins ....which means it wasn't fresh., And the taste confirmed it all: Wings were not seasoned in the slightest not even a pinch of salt ...just defrosted and thrown in fryer and then reheated and served to me ....if I wasn't starving...I would have politely taken it back and declined pay...simple as that . Fries were just a cheap $2 bag of freezer fries from no frills I assume ...not flavor nothing ....the best thing on that plate was the celery stick...looolll First and last time BOO BOO ...:( thanks but no thanks lol read more

So each time I come here I like it more .. The beer is the best section of craft brew.. In the area also is a laid back place to hang out Free wifi food is good and the staff are friendly ..how could I forget the patio is awsome read more

Sad to say our last experience at Boo's wasn't great. Everything appeared fine... we order the fish and chips, and two pints. My Henderson's amber tasted flat - I took two sips and left it. The fish and chips were okay (crispy yet super oil slick oily) and the fries weren't bad. Beware the tartar sauce and/or slaw! Also- one of the waitresses reeeeeeked like an old ashtray (not great when you're serving food). We do not live far so, we walked home. About 15 minutes in from being home and I am sick as hell! Pretty much all night spent in the bathroom. Thanks. While we -might- return if desperate to grab a pint in our neighbourhood (doubtful) there's a new resto opened across from Boo's that looks like it's serving wood fire cooked pizzas and local craft beers plus, Farmhouse Tavern down the street. Boo, check your servers and refrigeration! The neighbourhood is gentrifying fast. read more

I will never eat here again. It's a shame; I love coming here for drinks on the patio when it's nice and warm out. However, the food was diabolical. I had the steak sandwich. It tasted nice, but I was disappointed with the portion size. For $12, it should have been much larger. My girlfriend barely had a few mouthfuls of her meal before I finished my sandwich in no more than eight bites. What I was left with was a sad-looking salad, a dish that was two pieces of cucumber, two slices of tomato, and the rest -- a bowl of day-old lettuce. As for my girlfriend's meal, she opted for the 10oz AAA steak, with mashed potatoes and Caesar salad. While her portion size was much more reasonable for the $16 price tag, the quality of the food made it worth no more than $10. The steak was a flabby, half fat, poor excuse for a piece of of meat that is edible for humans. She spent most of her time attempting to sever the fat from it -- fat that looked like it had belonged in the arteries of a heavy-duty fast-food lovin' smoker, not on her meal. Her mashed potatoes were horribly salty, not properly mashed, and the Caesar salad consisted of mopey looking lettuce, burnt bacon bits, and soggy croutons. To top it all off there was no chocolate cake to satisfy our need for something that didn't leave a horrible taste in my mouth. This is after being told they had chocolate cake. Not pleased. I will not eat here again. read more

I'm writing a review because I felt offended by the bartender. I don't have cable to watch the free UFC fight nights, so I headed over here. Several tvs were playing football, with no interest from any of the patrons. I asked if I could steal a tv in the corner, and you know, pay them some of my hard earned money in exchange for beer and bar grub. The bartender informed me they "don't play the UFC games here," and treated my seemingly simple request with disgust, that I could be so vulgar to watch that garbage. (We of course, are an intellectual's sports bar, one that only cater to the desires of the artistic types that enjoy darts, pinball, and quote their favourite book as the one they were forced to read in 9th grade). Pretentious and out of touch. I also had the nachos there on a previous visit which were well below sub par. read more

After striking out for a table at Playa Cabana Cantina on a Wednesday night without reservations, we decided to head to Boo Radley's. Plenty of seating available at this local tucked away eatery. We ordered: 3lbs of hot wings with fries to share ($28) and 1-piece fish & chips ($10), plus an assortment of pints ($7.50). Wings arrive at the table hot and fresh from the deep fryer. The pungent scent of hot wings was too good to ignore! Fish and chips were good as well (it's really hard to screw up this dish but I've had really bad ones before). Friendly service, decent craft brew selection and solid food offerings makes Boo Radleys one of our favourite go-to spots in the West end. read more

My roommate and I recently moved to the neighbourhood after being gentrified out of our beloved Parkdale, so we needed a new local. Boo Radley's ended up winning out. The beer on tap selection is very good and includes Beau's. Mmm. Beau's is a "lagered ale" brewed in Vankleek Hill, the tiny Ottawa Valley town that I thought was the most boring place ever when I visited family there growing up but which apparently is now a foodie destination. Beau's is tough to find on tap. The taps change from time to time but always include one or 2 interesting beers and well as the popular standards. The daily food specials are a great deal, and while the food is pub food that won't be mistaken for haute cuisine, it's really very good pub food. The Sunday roast with pudding and gravy is perfect comfort food, and the burgers and fries are fresh, cooked as you like them, and tasty. The kitchen is open late and you can get fries and wings until closing. The atmosphere inside is cozy, though it's been chilly through the winter. Michael, the bartender, is friendly and helpful. Boo's is a great neighbourhood spot to have a chat or watch the game over a good pint. read more

Boo's has quickly become our new local since settling in the lower junction triangle. It is a great local pub, with a winning patio in the summer and cozy atmosphere in the fall. Last night we went because I was too lazy to cook and it was the best decision I've made all week. I had the $12 steak sandwich with mushrooms and onions--it was fantastic! The steak cooked to a perfect medium rare (served with a side salad)-I want to eat it again right now. My partner had the chicken sandwich & fries ($10) which was pretty decent but nothing to rave about. A pitcher of Beaus goes for $18 and they have lots of other beer options if that's not your brew of choice. Great and friendly service (& an invite to their upcoming Halloween party)! read more

Came here with my coworkers after rock climbing next door. We had a wonderful time with drinks and dinner at their patio. I had the shrimp sandwich (not sure what it was called on the menu). It was lightly fried and very delicious, the bun was a but dense though I might add. The fries were freshly fried and crispy. read more

I would've given this place four stars based on their food because I was super impressed with their steak salad but I found the service was half ass. Our waiter made it feel like it was so much effort for him to tell us what was on tap and he just wasn't all that enjoyable. Maybe he had a bad day but it reflected on us sticking around for more pints. We ate. We had a pint. We left. read more

Boo Radley's Junction Bar and Grill - Steak salad. The fresh sliced cheese this was really good!!!! Not even sure what kind of cheese it was because our waiter wasn't sure. :/ - Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Nice little place to visit if you're in the Junction. Good food compared to other bars. Every time I've been in, its been really quiet. Its sort of nice that way though. The deck is nice to sit on in the summer. The bartender is a really nice guy. And the beer selection is really great. Definitely go check this place out if you're nearby. read more

OK, so JYB and I have been here a number of times over the past year, but I feel it needs to be reviewed now. This particularly occasion was Boxing Day and we were the first customers of the day around 3ish. On to the food, JYB gets the steak and arugula salad every time, and for the price you cannot beat the quality of the meat, the salad itself is well garnished and the meat is always cooked to perfection (JYB does med rare). I change it up every time, this time was a cheeseburger. Now, I love burgers and to be fair, I prefer more of a greasy, american cheese covered, mid rare burger, like at parts and labour BUT this burg brought me back to bbq's as a child. Fresh patty, cooked nicely with melted mozza, a fluffy bun, dill pickle slices with a salty bite and fresh garnish. Overall, the place is on point, great service, quality food and drink at a fair price. Enjoy!! read more

We got the pizza and it tasted like it came out of a box. The mushrooms were fresh but that's the only good thing I can say about it. Dry hard crust, sauce tasted like a can. We also got medium wings. The sauce tasted like a thick bbq not a medium hot sauce. The wings themselves were wimpy and a little dried out. Even the been tasted watered down. Nothing about this place was good. 2 stars instead of 1 because the service was nice and the atmosphere was not terrible. read more

I was a regular costumer and i live in the neighborhood. I have always liked the atmosphere and the owner is very friendly. The food is below average at best. The reason for the low rating is because they always add drinks to the bill. This has happened at least 5 times!! I seriously think it's something that is encouraged by the owner. My friends and I have all noticed this over and over again. If you are having several drinks they will always add a few more to the bill. We caught on after the second time but we kept going because it was convenient. Twice, we confronted the waitress and we mentioned that the bill was wrong and without looking at the discrepancy she immediately said.."oh i think i must of added two by mistake i'll just deduct 20 dollars.my bad" I've experienced this at least five times and my friends have as well. It's too bad they are crooks. its a nice patio . My advice.. MAKE SURE YOU KEEP TRACK OF WHAT YOU DRINK ! read more

Unfortunately I have not received consistent high-quality food from this place, and as such my rating reflects the average experience. The cost, which is on par with many other bars (but perhaps overpriced for the area) means I don't expect anything out of the ordinary. This has a limit however, so when my "side of fruit" consisted of an orange slice, and my steak was a mere fraction of what was described on the menu I was very disappointed. Seems like the kitchen needs to step up their game. I may go back for a drinks-only experience, but they've been written off for food. read more

My fiance and I have been regulars at Boo's for about four years. I have nothing bad to say about the food. I will never return to this place again however, based on the way I was treated over the phone today be a male staff member (or perhaps the owner himself.) The previous evening I went to Boo's after work with friends. Being in a particularly good mood I left a $10.00 tip on two beers. Today I noticed I have misplaced a pocket knife that I use at work. I figured there was a chance it fell out of my bag at Boos so today I called to ask if anyone had found it. A female answered and I told her I may have lost my pocketknife. While she was looking into it the phone seemed to cut out.. I called back and a male answered. I began to say it is possible I dropped my pocketknife if they find it maybe they could call me back. The man cut me off and snapped at me: "We don't have your knife, and we aren't calling you back." and then hung up on me! WTF. In total both calls lasted about 15 seconds I was stunned. There was absolutely no reason to speak to me this way. I can only think of two males who work front of house, near the phone. I was either speaking to their seemingly jovial bartender, or equally seemingly nice owner. One of them just lost Boo's two regular guests and earned a serious G.F.Y. in this review. And for no logical reason. My only wish is I could take my $10 tip, crumple it up and flick it in the face of whomever answered the phone. read more

When I had first moved to the Junction Triangle, there weren't too many places to hang, especially on the west end of Dupont. Boo Radley's Junction Bar and Grill is a good alternative to the (seemingly) dingy bars/sport cafes that make up Symington and Dupont. The first time I stepped into this place, the owner greeted me and welcomed me to the neighbourhood (I had told him I just moved in.) Food and drinks are decently priced and the place has cozy booths, so it makes a great place for a date or a hangout. The last time I was there, my friend and I shared a pizza for $14. If you're looking for a place to have dinner and hang out and you don't want to spend the money that Farmhouse Tavern requires, Boo Radley's is a great place to go. read more

I am only taking away a couple of stars for the lack of veggie options and the price points being a bit high for what you get.

i t had been a few years since my last visit- was really wanting a cheap but tasty burger and a side - I wasn't sure from the reviews ....... They however had three great sounding specials on- one pasta - one pan fried fish - and a Guinness Stew. - all $10 I opted for the stew- It arrived piping Hot - Lots of tender meat- stayed hot and was sided with a small loaf of Garlic Bread - Perfect. The owner is always super friendly - the bartender waiter also very pleasant- Not a fan of any television- but found a spot away from the sight and sound of the TV- A good soundtrack played nearby - enjoyed my meal " the Grid and the Star." Would definitely go back for the specials - You can't beat the price. read more
