I just love this gem of a spot in the Annex! The family who runs it is so lovely & friendly! Today I opted for the poutine....so good. Probably the best in the neighbourhood. Fries are delish, generous with the gravy & cheese curds. So good!! Their rotisserie chicken, souvlaki, and burgers are also equally great too!! I love their coleslaw too. If you feel like fish & chips.... That's on the menu too (also good!). Take out & eat in. Old school diner vibes! read more

George's Deli & BBQ - Poutine - Sandwiches Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

A neighborhood institution, I can only hope central tech's students flock here for a plate of fries at lunch. Picked up a chicken sandwich, which was a delight. Constructed from a chicken quarter, deboned, with the wing on top (that was cute). The owner is friendly and chatted with me about the holidays. I'll be back. read more

I gave it a try based on how long he's been there. It was ok. Nice gentleman who served me, I assume it was George. Wouldn't go back, but George is a good dude. read more

Ok, I know they don't look like much. BUT this mom and pop shop is amazing! Me and my husband have been coming here for the past 20 years. It started as grabbing their student specials when we were in high school, and has become a staple in our lives. We always get the quarter chicken with fries and gravy, and a banquet burger and fries. Never disappoints! Will continue to come for years! read more

While this place is probably incredibly popular among Central Tech high-school students. I feel sorry that George's is within walking distance not only to them, but also within the Annex community. Walked in and ordered their chicken and fries, sat down to eat because we were in that mode of starvation. And what does one of the owners do? She whips out her Oven Cleaner and proceeds to spray the oven, to clean it. Yes, that's right!!!! While it may have been nearing the end of the night, therefore certain cleaning tasks need to be done, this is unacceptable! No matter how far away from the kitchen we sat, the fumes of that cleaner spread so far back into our eating area, that upon consuming the food, it was as if we ourselves were ingesting those fumes. We were, and we did, regardless. Thankfully, scratch that, unthankfully, prior to her spraying the oven cleaner, we managed to take a couple bites, but to no avail. This food is flavourless, bland, putried! UGH... And here is what else... 1.) HOW UNINTELLIGENT does one need to be in oder to spray the oven cleaner while patrons are still in their establishment, eating!!??! THIS is something done at the end of the shift, ONCE THE STORE is CLOSED for the night, not while customers are still in their trying to enjoy the food that you essentially just poisoned by the toxic oven cleaner. 2.) Once we sat at the back their seemed to be a greasy film on the table, on the backs of the chairs, that couldn't be wiped down even if one tried. 3.) The seats are filthy....especially the cushion & the cloth. They look like thousands upon thousands of trucks have driven over them and have then subsequently been selected as the fabric for the cushions on these chairs. DISGUSTING! While regrettably, choosing to stay here while we ate, we were getting pretty pissed and rightly so, we said, "this is disgusting", during the time the woman "wiped" and "cleaned" the tables around us, the woman heard us, and got offended, "WHAT, WHATS DISGUSTING" She pretty much yelled at us. HA! At that point (much before then actually) it was time for us to leave! NEVER AGAIN! if you venture here, you are eating at your own risk! read more

the only place in the area I trust never to get sick eating.... freshly made ....great tasting friendly ....service like things use to be..... read more

Walked and drove past this spots so many times, and I've always told myself. "I gotta try this place one time". Decided to grab a quarter chicken dinner with Greek salad, coleslaw and a drink. All in it costed me $10. Chicken was a little small but was still moist. Greek salad, stuffed to the brim. Would go back read more

George's Deli & BBQ - a salad in a styrofoam container - Sandwiches Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We were on our way to a picnic in Christie Pits with some buddies (free baseball on Wednesdays and Sundays... so fun!), and we forgot to bring picnic snacks. What the cluck. The idea of pizza pizza or hero burger made us feel gross, so we popped into George's. The man behind the counter was super sweet and quickly assembled a stellar picnic basket (plastic bag) for us. Their chickens are juicy, with perfectly crispy skin. Really stellar bird. However, their sides (fries, rice) are both highly meh... but it's not called George's Fries & Rice... and they were cheap, so we didn't let the extras ruin our super sweet picnic. read more

I eat here rarely more out of a sense of nostalgia than for any epicurean reasoning. There's something about their quarter chicken with fries (don't forget the gravy!) and a pop that harkens back to the "good 'ol days." A time where everything was simpler and you figured that the way things were would be the way that they are for the rest of your life. Above all else, this place is consistent. Those fries taste like fries always did in your childhood. That gravy could very well be the Platonic ideal from which all other generic gravies are produced. And that chicken? Slightly crispy skin with meat that isn't really dry but isn't really moist either. Merely a decent rendition of rotisserie style chicken. The comme ci comme ca of chicken, if you will. I always feel a bit depressed after eating one of these meals. Maybe it's the feeling that what once was never will be again. Maybe it's because the chicken I just had was boring and I could have spent the money on better things. Hmm yeah, on second thought, the chicken is just that boring. Sometimes old habits die hard. read more

For F&C (Fish and chips) I used to always check out Chippy's but it so happened that one day I was @ George's with some friends last @ night and they had no chicken left for me (all my friends took the last pieces) so I tried out their fish & chips.. One thing I noticed is there fish is the same like all those old school burger joints, the fries are decent BUT there is an X factor!! TRY OUT THEIR TARTAR SAUCE!! the lady told me its all home made.. and I must admit its Pretty darn good!! this made my meal oh so very good.. nowdays if I am feeling for some F&C (it is rare) I will head over to Georges!! writing this review made me a bit hungry !~~ hah read more

I'm hungry just writing this review. I lived 2 blocks north of George's. The first time i went in, i found home. The place is most memorable for their chicken. The burgers and everything is good, but the chicken - mwuah, to die for. The place is owned by a greek family (the father and daughter will often be found working together) and it's a piece of history. Don't know why, but they used to have the entire wall covered with their local press coverage, but no more.... But back to food - it's so good, that i ordered the family meal for myself. I can never have enough left over of george's, but there's nothing like it fresh though all the same. My staple order was the family meal ($25) which came with a huge crispy moist rotisserie chicken, a huge salad (not special, but my dog always enjoyed it), a huge plate of white rice with their special tomato sauce, and a huge huge plate of freshly deep fried amazing fries. I always got hot sauce on the side. On other days, it was the double leg dinner (i'm a dark meat kinda guy really). The point really is, go to George's for comfort food and a piece of history. If you're feeling like a pizza night, or a shawarma night, consider George's first. George's is just one of those places that can easily become a staple meal in your home. read more

Had a quarter chicken dark combo with fries, gravy and cole slaw. Wasn't bad but wasn't great either. Small piece of dry chicken that I had to dunk in gravy to enjoy. Wouldn't go back read more

Its a friendly Mom and Pops greasy spoon that serves value. They have old fashion combos that remind me of my days during high school and university. George's Deli & BBQ is bot bad. read more

I usually came here to buy take out. I find the bbq chicken to be well seasoned with slightly crisp skin. The price here is very reasonable as well. Obvious you'd get better value than buying bbq chicken from let's say... Metro... I haven't tried their other items such as burger but I probably will next time. This is very family run business and the service is always warm and courteous. 3.5 out of 5 overall. read more

George's Deli & BBQ - chicken in a styrofoam container - Sandwiches Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I will legit go all the way back to my old highschool just for this poutine. Super good food and very friendly staff.

Really good spot! Don't judge a book by its cover. They make a really good burger and the owner and staff are really nice people

I should know her name (?) the lady who runs it is SUPER friendly, polite, genuine. I like her a lot. Similar to the George's on Dundas it's been sold and George has moved on (Greece I believe!?). The name remains, cool sign, etc. This location could use some renovation, it looks pretty rundown. Chicken is good; fries, gravy... YUM. read more

Great chicken and fries and good customer service. I have never been disappointed! I hear that the cheesburgers are good too but I've never had one myself. read more

Good Chicken, Very good Burgers, Unbeatable value (1/4 Chicken + an enormous mound of spaghetti for 5.99). Special bonus points for being the only place in the world where SALTPEPPERKETCHUP is a single word. read more

I absolutely love George's Deli & BBQ! It has been a place I frequent religiously over the years, always coming back to their delicious homemade food. Ever since I found the place back when I worked in the area, and had a sampling of not only the chicken but the burgers too, I have never looked back! You have to go here, and try the rotisserie chicken, its delightful. Not only are they known for the chicken, but in my opinion the burgers are top-notch just as well. Personally...I find it a toss up between the burgers here and Burger's Priest...Such a hard choice. Now I'm just spreading the love, and I seriously think everyone needs to try this place, if not the burgers...then at least the chicken, because I'm sure you will not be disappointed. read more

This place is a staple in my house. While I'm not a big fan of much else on their menu, their rotisserie chicken is brilliant - always moist inside with a delicious crispy skin. We served George's chicken to friends of ours who live at the end of the Danforth and they now drive all the way over to buy the chicken. It's that good. read more

Friendly, very simple burger joint. I got the cheeseburger and it was juicy and tasty, and most importantly, topped with fresh ingredients.

Sandwich was fine decent fine but not the best smoked meat I've had. Potato salad good texture but taste was blah maybe some salt will help. Ribs stewed meat was cooked well but not overly tastey. Just kind if watered down BBQ flavor. read more

I've ordered delivery a few times from here via Justeat.com The smoked meat sandwhiches are okay but make you feel slightly sick afterwards because of the amount of grease. My problem is with the service. The restaurant always calls asking me to come down for the food when the buzzer number is on the label- buzzing and coming up in the building seems to always cause confusion. The last 2 times the driver was extremely rude, had long nails and smelled like urine. It makes me question the cleanliness of the restaurant and food. read more

I refuse to go to the Hero Burger or the ACME up the street and support their sassy staff who don't give rats ass, when there's this little gem around the corner. This particular George's chain is far better then the one on the east end by a landslide. This is the cheapest, best greasy spoon in the annex, and they don't mess around. Chicken, burgers, spaghetti, souvlaki, poutine, salad... whatever you're in the mood for, Sam will make ya' something nice, with all the fixings. read more

My boyfriend and I love this place. The amazing burgers are homemade like those of childhood. But this time, on the recommendation of the server, I had the chicken and spaghetti. Wonderful tender juicy chicken and great pasta. Great independent 'hole in the wall'. read more

Great value for money. Not the healthiest but great for what it is. A quarter chicken, fries, gravy and salad plus a drink for under 10 bucks. Cant be beaten. read more

Fast, friendly and consistently good. Love the chicken sandwich and the burger. During the day its super rammed with students from the high school next door. I usually stop by evenings or weekends. read more

Come here pretty much every week. It's a classic ma and pa restaurant that has great deals and amazing chicken

I love this place, been coming here for years, even when it used to be north of Bloor. You can get a great, juicy burger with a big helping of crisp fries with gravy for under $8. Or you can go to Hero Burger or Burger's Priest and pay twice as much and wait longer for something not as good or filling, it's up to you. read more

Mom, Pop and daughter work here and give great friendly service. I've been eating here for about ten years, including when it was North of Bloor, before the great move to be south of bloor. The chicken is great, and the fries (have to be hot, don't do takeout) to die for. Best chicken gravy I've ever had. I would love to know the secret. I love the chicken, fries and gravy so much that I've never tried the rest of the menu. Maybe next time I'll try the burger. read more

Love this place - I'm a regular. The owners are always nice and welcoming. I get waved at with a huge smile every time I walk past. The food is pretty good and well priced. read more

Good, home-style cooking and fair value for chicken, burgers and typical Greek diner food. Friendly staff. Not exceptionally clean but good enough for cheap eats. read more

Great rotisserie chicken. Fast family dinners: Great tasting chicken, amazing fries and awesome Greek salad. Always a great family treat. Fast friendly service in a family run place. Must try. read more

Had the poutine here. It was the worst poutine I have ever had. The fries were absolutely tasteless. The gravy was gross and the cheese was just shredded cheese (not cheese curds) and did not taste good either. Will not order here again. read more
