I used to come here fairly often pre-covid and it was a cozy locals Polish pub. Decided to go back…read moreand try it again recently. Food - (3/5) - had the Beef Goulash which has been on the menu for years. This time it seemed to have lost some of it's lustre. Less flavourful then before and not a lot of beef in the sauce. Sides were ok but nothing spectacular. The Schnitzel used to be another favorite but didn't try it this time. Service - (3.5/5) - similar to before the service was average. Not sure what it is but you just don't get that welcoming feeling from the server/bartenders here. Food and drink came out fairly quickly though. Atmosphere - (3.75/5) - its a small place with lots of ethnic artifacts on the walls. Wooden tables, small bar and some TVs. They do seasonal decorations which is a nice touch. Overall - (3.5/5) - its an ok place and maybe it's a better experience if you are Polish? Personally, Barrel House (Ukrainian) down the street is a better choice imo.

I traveled 4 hours from Scarborough to go to this infamous Christmas pub. The decorations did not…read moredisappoint- I wish I could say the same for the service. The bar was incredibly full and they didn't allow for walk ins which was disappointing because it didn't indicate anywhere online that we could call and make reservations for our group of 6 (in hindsight we should have been more thorough and called to book.) I was seated at the bar and didn't get serviced for half an hour so it's disappointing to say i didn't get to try any food or drinks. The server behind the bar kept looking at me like she didn't want to be there and couldn't be bothered. I decided to not give them my business and won't be back.

I've been living just a few minutes away from Kanu Bar & Grill for over a year now, and yet I only…read morejust stopped in for a drink a few days ago. I think I was intimidated because there's not much information about the joint online. I walked in and there were a few people having drinks, so I grabbed a seat at the end of the bar. After walking by for months and seeing the sign for their own Kanu Lager, I obviously had to order that. It's a very simple, very tasty lager that's super easy to drink. I'll definitely be drinking it again. I was feeling a little peckish, too, so I asked to see a menu. Everything sounded really tasty, so I asked for a recommendation and wound up with the Calamari Rings. They're surprisingly, shockingly good. They're perfectly fried and enhanced by a really tasty (and spicy) dipping sauce. I also want to single out the ambience and the service, both of which were tremendously appealing. It's a small, dark bar, which I love, and my server was helpful without being intrusive. I really don't know why it took me so long to check out Kanu. It's a really cool little place and I'm looking forward to stopping by on a regular basis in the future.

Lots of options to select from drink-wise including local brews and quite an extensive cocktail menu. The food is also reasonably priced with all the bar favorites on offer.

Started with ice cold wine and beer. Delish. Daughter and mom each ordered the bruschetta flatbread. Mom loved it, daughter hated it. Rightly claimed you should not decorate it with ranch dressing. I ordered the turkey avocado club. Liked it. Had lettuce, tomatoes, a slice of Kraft processed singles, pickled onions, chipotle mayo. What it promised and was unfortunately missing was the avocado, which was supposed to come as guacamole. Would have been nice to have it and I probably should have said something. Next time. Came with fries which were excellent. If I'm ever in the area again,will be back.

I was looking for a quick place to have lunch in the Long Branch area on Saturday. After looking…read morearound, I decided to try T.J. O'Shea's. While I wouldn't expect a pub to have great salads, I was quite pleased with the quality and portion size of their Cobb Salad. I ordered it without any modifications, but in retrospect I think it might have been better if I switched the blue cheese (original) for feta cheese - I'm biased though. The day after, I ended up ordering their Caesar Salad over the phone, for takeout. It was great too, although the dressing could have a bit more garlic - I'm also biased on this topic :) Service was quite fast and all servers were courteous, and wearing masks. The pub also offers a lesser known, and therefore quiet back patio with a few tables and large umbrellas. And I'm not talking about the one you see right when you walk out the back door. There is another one behind that. I only found out about it when I left, but it was quite welcoming and I will consider going again to sit at the (second) back patio!

The servers and bartenders all have a brogue and are super friendly. They used to have the most amazing crab cakes but it's now off the menu.

Hellz no ! $8 plus tax and tip for well served Guinness is actually a good deal.

There are also nightly and weekend happy hours, but we came here after work. - The white sangria is awesome! My former manager reached out to me about a few work-related questions. It was nice hearing from him. It's my usual self to ask if he'd like to go out for a meal. He was game with either the two of us, or past and current writers. I went with the latter, as it would be nice to have a happier meetup than what we did in November when he was let go. I hadn't been to Earls in a long time. I was a fan of this western Canadian chain when I lived in Winnipeg. Back then. it wasn't as upscale as it seems to be these days. The food was yummy and I liked dropping by. I asked him if he was good with this Earls across from CF Sherway Gardens. He was. There were a total of four folks who said yes. Another colleague said that he'd drop by to say hi. I didn't account for him in the reservation, as he'd be there briefly. I reserved online through OpenTable. It was party of four for 4:30 pm. It was great getting the occasional text message to confirm that we were still good to be here on a Wednesday at 4:30 pm. I was the first to make it here. I had no problem finding a parking spot and backed into an available one. I walked into the eatery. I was greeted by a friendly woman. I said that I had a reservation for four under my name. She found me and led me me to a booth. I looked at the happy hour menu. Red and white sangria were available. I went with the latter. It had peaches and oranges in it. It was delightful. We got water with ice. I waited for my friends and colleagues to arrive. Two of my friends had arrived, followed by the hi-and-bye friend. Two of them looked at my white sangria and order the same thing. Our other friend got a Moscow mule. My former manager texted me. He said that he was stuck in traffic on the 401 and he'd be late. I said that we'd be here. He eventually made it. Yay! He saw that most of us had sangria. He ordered the red sangria. Alcohol does hit him fast. Luckily, we were here for a few hours, so it eventually wore off. Even our server asked if he was okay, which was kind. Service was great. Our female server was attentive, making sure that our water was refilled and we were good. The manager came over and was looking for me. He said that to thank me for my "loyalty," he wanted to give us a complimentary Nashville crispy chicken and pickle skewers. I said that I wouldn't say no to free food! This appetizer was excellent. The pickle was a bit spicy. The crispy chicken was tender and not spicy. It was such a nice gesture. Our table got these items: - Baja taco (me) - Szechuan shrimp and pork dumplings (me) - Aburi salmon sushi press - Clam chowder - Bigger better burger with fries - Truffle tortellini I loved my baja taco. The fish was generous and flaky. It had a light, crispy batter.It was delicious. The szechwan shrimp and pork dumplings were excellent. The chili sauce had a ton of flavour. My former manager's aburi salmon sushi press needed more flavour. This place doesn't have wasabi. Instead, I said to dip his sushi in the szechwan sauce. He did and said it was much improved. I got to try a bit of his sushi and I also dipped it in the sauce. Yummy! My friends loved their meals. Everything was off the happy hour menu, except for the truffle tortellini that looked amazing. For dessert, we got these items: - Lemon meringue pie - Sticky toffee chocolate pudding with vanilla ice cream Our friend had left, so we were a table of four. We devoured both desserts in five minutes. It was quite the feat to witness! The lemon meringue pie is seasonal. It should be on the menu all the time. It was fantastic. The lemon had the perfect tartness. The meringue was light and perfect. The sticky toffee chocolate pudding was moist and decadent. We loved the vanilla ice cream and the crispy wafer. Since I'm the fruit person, I had all the sliced strawberries. So good! We got separate bills. I paid with a credit card at the table. I tipped and tapped. Done! A few of us used the washroom before we left. The women's was clean and inviting. No complaints! My former manager was waiting outside. He noticed that my car was still there. It felt like old times chatting for a bit before heading our separate ways. The food and drink were excellent at this eatery. The company was perfect. Service was wonderful. I'd return here for more good eats and drinks. (147)

Food at Earls is Hit or Miss depending on what you order. Unfortunately I don't think their…read moreSummerlicious menu is one where you actually get value as they halve the portions so depending on what you order you're either getting close to or less than the value you're paying for. The Crispy Chili Tofu appetizer was good and decent portion for an appetizer. The Santa Fe Chicken Salad was not good - would not order it again. The chicken was way too dry, and I had asked for extra dressing which took a long time to arrive. Earls should offer the option for customers to choose Steak, Shrimp, or Chicken and if chicken, the choice of White or Dark Meat. The Cheesecake dessert was OK taste-wise but SO SMALL. They couldn't even provide a full slice of cheesecake?? It was literally a regular slice of cheesecake cut in half - looked so bad. It was so thin that it couldn't even stand up on the plate and was falling over.
