    Greek Salad
    Fiona L.

    We often come here for a quick bite and it never disappoints. The portion sizes are unbeatable. Will be back soon. Everyone is always nice also!

    Local Greek restaurant serving your Greek favourite dishes, souvlaki, gyros as well as home made burgers. This is a neighbourhood favourite and is constantly busy, so I'd recommend ordering ahead of time (takes at least 20-30 mins to prepare). The restaurant is located in a plaza right off of the main road with lots of parking. The restaurant just went through renovations and has multiple tables for dine In, although we noticed that most people typically order for take out. One draw back is that they only accept cash, which I always end up forgetting about! Really wish they would take more payment methods, however they do offer online ordering which is a way around it. I'd recommend this place if you're in the mood for some nice Greek take out!

    If you're looking for a Greek restaurant with huge portions, this is the place to visit. The food tastes really good, and the service is excellent. The ambiance of the restaurant is quite normal; it doesn't have a particularly aesthetic feel.

    Chicken souvlaki dinner with rice and potatoes
    Navnit S.

    This restaurant is great for when you are craving Greek food. The food is 10/10!! We got the chicken souvlaki dinner and it came with rice potatoes and salad. Enough to feed two people. Prices were great too but only negative was the fact that it is cash only so had to find a bank to take out cash. I took off a star cause of that. Other than that the restaurant is big, clean, and open till late too!

    Onion rings
    Gary T.

    Went to Esquire yesterday for lunch after some recommendations from co workers and friends. Service was friendly and the location was well kept and clean. Ordered a homeburger and onion rings. Onion rings a bit soggy, due to the take out container. Homeburger was ok, nothing too special. Not sure this restaurant would be on the top of my list of go tos, with Johnnys Hamburger and others around the neighbourhood.

    Chicken Souvlaki Dinner

    Honestly Esquire's food is amazing. I got the chicken souvlaki plate, and the flavours of the chicken are spot on, however the bread was little bit hard. The restaurant itself is pretty neat overall. The only drawback is that they're cash only. Otherwise, I definitely recommend checking it out!

    Chicken Dinner Plate

    Have a Chicken dinner plate, the portions are first of all so HUGE! Worth every dollar! And the best part, it tastes so damn amazing!!!

    Updated this for COVID-19 situation. Came here with a takeout order of gyro on pita and hamburger. Definitely stick to the Greek items not the hamburger/hotdogs. Everything was ready on time. Gyro on pita is delicious - thick multiple cuts of gyro on a pita bread with tomatoes and onions and sauce. Delicious. Come back for this every time. Hamburger was okay. Probably just a normal frozen patty on a burger bun with lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup and mustard. Decent sized burger diameter wise but the patty is decently thin. Probably wouldn't get it again. The price is hard to beat though - for both items, just came to 10$.

    Esquire has been around for a long time, serving up decent Greek food until the wee hours of the morning, making it a great late night spot. It's a simple place with ordering and pickup at the counter and ample seating. Cash only. It was late and we were hungry. There were a few diners there when we arrived and a few waiting for their orders but we ordered right away and found a table. We ordered a Pork Souvlaki dinner, Gyros on a pita, and two small Greek salads. THE GOOD. The food was tasty and the portions were on the generous side. The prices are very good for what you get. THE BAD. REALLY BAD. The service here is terribly SLOW! I usually give a business the benefit of the doubt when I read reviews but I see I'm just one of many that have the same complaint. It took around 45 minutes to prepare our order! It was very obvious that we weren't the only ones waiting and getting irritated. It was also very obvious that orders weren't being prepared in the sequence they were received in. A party of four arrived after us, ate, and left before we did. Another gentleman was waiting for his takeout order before we got there and we got our order before he did. He was understandably not happy. Another fellow arrived while we were waiting and got his order fairly quickly. With an open kitchen, we observed no reason for the delay in preparing orders. The staff just had no sense of urgency and didn't seem to care that customers were complaining. CONCLUSION. Esquire represents a good value for Greek food if you don't mind crappy service. I do.

    2026 Birthday Series -- Stop #4: Jersey Mikes…read more I'm kicking off a series reviewing all the places I visited to redeem my birthday goodies in July 2026. Along with an overall rating, each spot gets scored on redeemability (how easy it is to claim) and actual value. Jersey Mike's Redeemability: 5/5 (requires sign-up up for the news letter) Actual value: 10/5 (A WHOLE SET OF ONE REGULAR SIZE FREE SUB (ANY) and a drink!) WOW! Aside from the fact that Jersey Mike gives out the BEST BIRTHDAY FREEBIES out of all the cafes and restaurants (with absolutely no convoluted process to redeem - the staff were extremely nice and friendly), the sub itself was freaking amazing. I got the big kahuna - the beef was freshly grilled with LOTS OF white American cheese that melts all over, and the delicious grilled vegetables on top. I swear to god, this was perhaps just as good as the Philly steak sandwich I had in Philly if not better (as a birthday present). The store was as also super clean albeit extremely popular, with freshly cut meat and cheese served in an efficient speed. Tho I got a free combo, I also saw that the sandwiches were very reasonably priced - the quality and the price were unbeatable and I'll def come back often. I'd say jersey Mike's is my FAV sub restaurant now, far surpass subway but also firehouse sub which I often found overpriced. Highly, highly recommended.

Love that they have different sizes for you to pick from, so we got their giant size and wow it definitely was gigantic! You can choose your toppings ranging from lettuce, onions, tomatoes, oil, vinegar and spices, and more. Since it was our first time, we got it served the Mike's Way which had everything on it. Next time I think I'll opt out of the Mike's Way, since I didn't love my sandwich doused in vinegar - it also made it pretty soggy pretty quickly. However, the sandwich taste itself was amazing and so fresh! I can't wait to go back to customize another sandwich to my liking!

First off - the food in the menu photographs beautifully. The menu looks SO appetizing! I got the vegetarian grilled panini and it was huge!! It also came with a soup (two options, I got the tomato and sweet potato), so at $14 it was a great value. My colleague got a steak and smoked cheese panini which looked incredible as well, and the toppings and sandwiches were just SO fresh. They don't skimp out on the good stuff either, lots of tasty goat cheese on my sandwich...I'm drooling just remembering it! There is a seating area so you can dine in, or take your food to go. The service was friendly and efficient, you can tell they care about the food they're preparing. One thing I will mention - it's MESSY! Make sure you get napkins!

It's quite a busy plaza so parking can be a bit tricky at the front, consider parking on the side and walking a bit if you're able. Inside was quite clean and calm. All the tables and chairs seemed clean and staff were busy making food. Lots of takeout orders. Decent number of tables and chairs but not a ton. Food: Beef brisket with cheese sub. The meat was flavorful and tender. Mayo and bbq sauces were quite tasty. Toppings like lettuce, cucumber cubes, caramelized onions all tasted fresh. Surprisingly very messy - possibly because of all the melted cheese and sauce. Meatball sub - delicious, tender and flavorful meatballs in a marinara sauce on the sub. As before vegetables were fresh and the bread is soft yet holds up against all the filling. French fries - surprisingly really good. It's a vertical crinkle cut so the ridges are vertical to give it more crispiness. The sauce is great with the French fries! Price: Definitely on the more expensive side of things when it comes to subs but quality and taste are really high. Also feels like the sandwich is pretty big for a medium so definitely getting value overall.

Even though the location at the Promenade Mall exceeds this horrible location by 100 times. I came here to this location in York Mills Rd expecting a decent sub and some decent service. That's not expecting much But On this occasion, I entered and the one Indian lady about 20 something years old immediately put me off. She took my order rather curtly and asked my name forcefully. I mean I am the only customer in there. I waited my 4-5 minutes paying no mind. Then She proceeded to just plop my sandwich on the counter and literally screamed my name and then walked to the back. I'm sorry but this order is for take out I said can I have a bag. She saids she doesn't have big bags with handles. This is not my first rodeo here and she plops a small sandwich bag on the counter with absolutely no customer service like bagging it for me and then walks off again. That's when I see a uber order with a said bag with handle sitting there I mean, I like their sandwiches but service and a remotely polite service is important too. I definitely strongly recommend to stay away from this location. And I am debating on going to any location again as this represents not only their name and location but the franchise reputation as a whole.
