There was a lot of variety on the menu - I had the Thai Chicken Salad and I actually really enjoyed this! Tasted pretty fresh and the large portion size was very filling. Other standouts at the table included the fish and chips, Cumberland burger and Jambalaya. The prices reflect a typical Toronto pub in this area. There are a few separate floors but one thing I will call out is that it can get really hot in there - especially if you end up sitting right under one of their ceiling pot lights.

Time for an IPA break.

It was extremely busy, with lots of servers and bus staff walking around, yet no one seemed to be taking care of our table. There were too many people involved, but no one was actually providing good service. We waited about 40 minutes for our food, and when it finally arrived, it was cold. I asked for it to be reheated. Five minutes later, the manager came over, apologized, and said the dish would be removed from our bill. After waiting another 10 minutes, the food came back at almost the same temperature. Overall, I was very disappointed with both the service and the food. Although this restaurant is popular and conveniently located near Yorkville, it didn't live up to the hype. The food felt more like fast food than a quality dining experience. There are plenty of other restaurants in the Yorkville area that offer much better food and service. I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this restaurant.

The atmosphere was a bit too noisy for my taste, possibly because I hadn't made a reservation and was seated near the bar. The table the hostess assigned me hadn't been thoroughly cleaned, and I made sure to point it out. She apologized and roughly mopped up the spilled liquid. Furthermore, instead of offering me a seat at the table she had indicated, the same hostess practically forced me to sit at the table with my back to the entrance (which I hate). Once she left, I immediately changed seats. Despite these minor inconveniences from the hostess, my waitress exhibited a higher level of professionalism, though she unfortunately lacked enthusiasm. It seemed like she was in a hurry to finish her shift. I don't know if I'll ever go back to this place, as I'm eager to explore other restaurants in downtown Toronto.

I recently visited this BBQ spot near the university, and it was fantastic! The ribs were absolutely delicious--tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The menu had a great selection, and I was impressed with the variety of sides. The coleslaw was fresh and had the perfect tangy flavor that paired well with the smoky meats. The cornbread was slightly on the dry side, but it still complemented the meal nicely. The atmosphere is fun and laid-back, making it a great place to enjoy a casual meal with friends. I'm looking forward to my next visit to try more of their offerings. If you're in the area and craving some good BBQ, this is the place to go! read more

That was until I recently found out that they had renovated and added a dining area. We arrived around noon on a Saturday.

It's a fairly large space, with two picnic tables in the middle surrounded by regular tables. The dining area was about half full when we arrived. When placing our order, we were told about a new smoked brisket ramen noodle dish they were trying out. This sounded intriguing, but since it was our first time here, we wanted to get what they're known for: their sandwiches. Maybe next time. We ordered: 2 x Smoked Brisket Sandwiches 1 x Reuben 1 x Large Fries The Brisket Sandwiches were incredible. The brisket was smoky and tender, with just the right amount of sauce. The Montreal smoked meat in the Reuben was a little dry and there wasn't enough sauerkraut, but overall, it was decent. If we're in the area, I would definitely eat here again.
