Had a great experience both times I came here, booths are nice and and graffiti-d so there's lots to look at! Posters up everywhere about events around Toronto which was a nice local touch. Service is great! Just the one thing that threw me off was that when they served water they didn't give straws with it. Wasn't a big deal but I noticed it for whatever reason! We shared a "Destroyer" and it was a great portion, so many toppings, and it filled us up pretty well! I will say this, though: thank goodness there was hot sauce because the whole thing tasted quite plain. And a heads up, they don't take split bills so BRING CASH! Will definitely go back! read more

Understaffed AF. All servers are constantly busy, we sat down 15mins before getting water, and another 15mins before getting any attention

My go to bar in Toronto for a casual night with friends in the city. Love the punk aesthetic, nachos and drinks are cheap which, who doesn't love? read more

I don't get it. Over the years living and working in Toronto, Sneaky Dee's has come up in conversation more than once. So when my friend and I were wandering in the direction of this popular restaurant, I was game to see what they had to offer. Sneaky Dee's is a cleanish place that I could see live bands and some serious drinking happening at every weekend (and possibly during the week). Service was prompt and relatively friendly but nothing to write home about. They have a very large menu, lots of things to choose from, but after reading lots of reviews about the nachos, my friend and I decided to split an order of the Kings Crown: crisp corn tortilla chips covered with salsa roja, piled high with frijoles, ground beef, tomatoes, onions, mixed peppers, jalapenos, melted cheese, topped with guacamole & sour cream. Food came out quickly and in front of me was a towering pile of nachos with sour cream and quac piled generously on the very top of this stack. And so we dug in. First of all, love how generous they were with some of the toppings but as I was eating and at the very end, I noticed that whoever came up with this dish really wasn't thinking about the person who would be dining on said nachos. It wasn't until I'd eaten almost half my side that I found the ground beef, all stacked in the middle. Not only that, but the cheese wasn't actually melted all the way through. I get it, you put the plate of nachos in the salamander and melted it that way. Fine. But when I'm pulling apart the cheese to adorn my nacho and the bottom is still in its hardened state, while the top has melted to make a chunky mess, I'm not a fan. There were far too many beans lying around and since I didn't get to the meat for a while, it was fine, but I was annoyed once all that glorious meat was discovered in the middle of the stack. Meat over beans anyday. But the toppings were haphazardly thrown on and if I was sharing with a group, I probably would have entirely missed a few toppings, much as I missed the beef. When it came to actually eating this mess of nachos ("mess" meant in both ways), the sour cream and quac weren't well placed. It started to fall over to my friend's side of the plate. Super disappointed with this place, especially after reading all the stellar reviews online. Unless you're a regular or you're coming here for drinks and a show, don't waste your time. There are lots of better eats around Toronto than Sneaky Dee's. read more

Great place, full of vibe and energy, the only good food item on the menu is the nachos and the wings !! DO NOT order anything else, because if you do, you will be disappointed, anyways if you have big group of friends this is a great place to hang out,its worth a try. read more

Something horrible has happened to Sneaky Dee's. This place used to be a mainstay of my Saturday nights - who DOESN'T want nachos when they're wasted? But, recently, my boyfriend and I celebrated "date day" - our first mutual day off in four months. To celebrate, we basically went on a food tour of all of our important/historical date spots. Which, of course, included Sneaky Dee's. Our nachos were disgusting. We couldn't finish them, and then we were both violently ill afterwards. Not to mention more expensive than I remember... charging $2.50 to put shredded lettuce on nachos, are you kidding me? Do you know how much lettuce it would take to get $2.50 worth? And the service was BEYOND slow (and rude!). We were in there at 3:00 on a Wednesday, we were practically the only customers in there... nachos shouldn't take 30 minutes? Over it. We won't be returning (should we have a corresponding day off ever again). Still has two stars because beer. read more

If you like alternative music and venues, this spot is perfect for no BS Tex-mex. Food was delicious PLUS they stay open suuuuper late. If we're ever back in Toronto, I'd go back. :) read more

The place is loud, definitely for the college & university age. Huge portions of food. Drinks all over the place. Went there on Saturday night at 11 PM. The place was packed. You can try it once but I am past that place for my age read more

This was a great place to end the night. At 2am it was full of people everywhere, but we still found a table and everything seemed organised. There's a punk-rockish vibe with graffiti everywhere, memorabilia hanging everywhere on the walls, the music and even the way the staff dressed. The only thing not keeping with that theme is the customers. The nachos were not really nachos. I'd say they were more like either a Mexican pizza, or Italian nachos. Instead of salsa there was a spicy marinara sauce, and then a giant glob of shredded cheese on top. They were delicious (especially as drunk food)! Just not really your standard nachos. The guacamole however was a bit strange. It was overly smooth and was like whipped sour cream with green food colouring. It even looked like it was squeezed into the dish from a piping bag or a tube or something. Also, the staff were great - they were surprisingly fast, friendly, and patient considering they were just dealing with a room full of drunkos. I'd love to come back for some eats in the daytime to properly check out the food. read more

It's a dive bar. But it has character. Good on Wednesdays: $2.75 bottles

For a venue with fun special themed nights, I really enjoy myself at such events/concerts. I, however, get confused when they try to charge for entry at the door when on the website it says free before a certain time and they claim that it's because there was an event previous? Okay... Still, I enjoy myself with drinks that are not priced like crazy. read more

Only have had the nachos. Still IMO the best nachos in the city, layered to perfection. It's actually hard to get anything else because all I crave when coming here is nachos read more

Dumb. Seriously. Poor service, cool atmosphere. But it doesn't matter when your service sucks and they refused to change the bill when they messed it up. Also how come it's 2019 and they still don't split the bill?!! Anyways it's my 2nd time here and it was my second terrible experience. read more

We go to Dee's on Tuesday nights for half-priced fajitas. Four of us split two and that's usually more than enough! The fajitas come out on a sizzling platter, which I think is great. Makes me even more excited to eat everything :) We usually jump around with what kind we get. One of our favorites are vegetable, and the chicken and steak combo. And with them being half-priced, it's super cheap! We pay around $6-$7 per person. Last time we were there we tried the Mexican bruschetta, which was alright. Sometimes I get a bad vibe from the staff as well. But the fajitas are worth it, and we're looking forward to trying the nachos one day. read more

I love me a dive bar! Their nachos with guacamole was delicious. The toppings were layered well throughout the chips and not just piled on top like other bars/restaurants. Some might say the place is dirty, I say it's artsy. I love the skeletons on the benches. Casual atmosphere, great location, I had no problem bringing my Montreal friends there for a pint and a snack! All in all, I'm a fan. read more

It's always packed here but there's a lot to like when you can get a booth. Reasonable tv spread, good bet selection, and solid bar food. Notable especially for their nachos. Music is loud but not so much that you can't hear other people. read more

Quiz night at Sneak Dee's (every Wednesday) is simply awesome. You need to get there early (I'm talking 6:30-6:45 if you want a table). There are 6 rounds each with 10 questions. 1. Pictures 2. Questions (Winner of 1 and 2 gets free food) 3. Questions 4. Questions (Winner or 3 and 4 gets free food) 5. Questions 6. Music The top three overall winners get Sneaky Dees money to help cover their tabs. Beers are only $3 on quiz night and the nachos are cheap too. It's an unspoken rule that you have to come up with a funny team name. The questions range from everyone can get this to only your smartest friend will know the answer and most of the time you can reason the majority of them out. CASH ONLY. ID's required. Check it out. read more

Nachos and wings!!!! BEST in the city. If you want a cool grunge bar covered in graffiti and cheap beer and want amazing nachos...there is no better place. read more

I don't get to come to Dee's near as much as I used to since my young children have ruined my life, but whenever I do get there, it is still the same old Dee's, and I love that. The food is consistently good, the atmosphere vibrant, the service quick and cheap, and the beers cold. No, it's not fancy, but as another reviewer asked, "when was the last time you got more than you expected?" Dee's never fails to deliver. read more

I see some other reviews say they have the best nachos in Toronto - I'm going to elevate that to the best nachos I've had in my entire life. So many toppings - so much deliciousness! And they had a special: a pitcher of beer plus nachos for 20-something dollars. The last time I was at this bar, I was a 20-something. So great to revisit an old watering hole and so pleased it looks and feels the same... and tastes even better! read more

Had the eggs bene here a while back after reading so many great reviews. Service was extremely surly and food was lackluster. Overall, I give it a Meh. read more

This was my second visit to this fine establishment, I had a lovely time chowing on a tasty breakfast and checking out the graffiti discourse of Torontonians and other visitors of Sneaky Dee's.This is bar/restaurant/music venue that is a welcome respite from the mean streets of Toronto at any time of day. I've been told that Sneaky Dee's is the place to go for a big plate of nachos and some beers - I happened to be here for my first meal of the day so nachos and beer weren't necessarily what I was looking for but they did have an excellent selection of Mexican style breakfasts (Served all day!) I went for the Burro Favorito and wasn't disappointed: Scrambled eggs and cheese in a tortilla and then topped with salsa mole and then served with rice, beans (frijoles) and salad. The meal was good, could have used a bit more spice - but that is what hot sauce is for! It normally comes with sausage as well so perhaps if I had not omitted it the spice factor would have been enhanced. The one thing that wasn't so great were they frijoles (which is too bad because I really, really love baked beans). They were bland and I ended up leaving the majority of them on my plate being to enamored with the remainder of my meal. The place has a very specific aesthetic - random tidbits of knowledge and thoughts to ponder graffitied all over the walls and benches. It's what makes Sneaky Dee's Sneaky Dee's. It is what it is, and I am a fan. read more

The food was good; service could have been better. Definately come for the atmosphere;.

Sneaky Dee's is a must go to bar. The booths near the bar are covered with awesome graffiti, giving current bar-goers a look into the character of those before them. The bartenders are super friendly, down to earth, and love giving suggestions to tourists (as I was visiting from Pittsburgh, PA). read more

Everyones favourite late night place to fill their stomachs with some cheap delicious food to soak up the booze they drank before hand. A huge variety of Mexican dishes that would please the pickiest of friends. The vegan nachos are my go to dish, followed by their yummy vegan cupcakes. The pumpkin cupcake is probably one of the tastiest treats you will ever have. The drinks are really cheap, steer clear of draft beer. I've always had really good service there, but depending on when you get there you might have to wait for a table to open up. Open way late into the night Sneaks is the perfect place to end or start your night. read more

Awesome Atmosphere! This place has great service, so much better than the crappy Supermarket on Augusta Ave.

Sunday nights are indie nights, live independent music, often quite astonishing - packing the upper place to the brim. Inside below is your typical, but here, well-respected late-night tacos and beer kingdom. read more

5 years ago I was intimidated to walk into this dive-chic tex-mex joint because of all the plaid and beards but now I find myself a regular (still beardless). normally when I review a place I try to think as little as possible of atmosphere and focus strictly on food, but it's hard to do that for sneaks when you've been going there for so long. my bands played the upstairs, weird makeouts with strangers, making friends with the bouncers and servers, that kinda thing. don't get me wrong, the food is amazing. their portions are huge, i'm barely able to kill my plate half the time. the special on Friday (2 burritos with shredded beef), kings crown, tres tacos and the wings (with avocado sour cream dip) are some of the many I can remember getting/loving. it's definitely that kid of uber-messy meant to mix with booze kind of eating, which is best with friends/big groups. or you can bring an annoying date here, the noise will drown them out. last time a friend and I couldn't make up our minds on where to eat and were about to hit little italy. we saw this guy running by us and stops a man infront of us. 'you forgot your ensalada sir!' 'you ran all the way to college and clinton to give me a salad?' 'yep! have a good one.' Service is usually really good for such a busy place, in all my times there I've only had one pissy server and even then it was just kinda funny. tip your servers! people leave shit tips here for servers working in such a hectic enviro. anyway we followed the busser back, realizing most of little Italy is shit compared to a place that feels like home (and how that chance encounter kinda led us there anyway) waited about 20 minutes to get in (fri night) and had a killer pre movie dinner. read more

I want to like this place but I just can't -service is bad and for the most part the food is ok. Today I thought to grab a quick cheap and cheerful egg sandwich to go. It was neither. Worse part was that my sanwich was poorly made as in the bread fell apart and the overdone egg fell all over the place. Don't go for food. #BreakfastFail. read more

I haven't really felt compelled to give a place a 2/5 before but I didn't expect the issues I had at a place that is supposedly known for nachos and decent Tex-mex fair. I Ordered a quesadilla and it comes wrapped up like a burrito with the same sides as a burrito? I had to confirm I had the right order, that's never a good surprise. Also, at the time of ordering, the waitress asks if I wanted guacamole and sour cream- I say yes. At this time please tell me it costs 3$ each and also that I can't dunk the quesadilla into them because it's a burrito. read more

I really really liked Sneaky Dee's! I shared a giant plate of nachos with two co-workers, along with two appetizers, and a pitcher of beer, and we all left feeling VERY VERY full! The atmosphere is really laid back, and they have graffiti all over the place - walls, tables, etc. They had standard beers available. read more

I decided to try Sneaky Dee's because I heard so much about it. However, both times I went I was not very impressed. The atmosphere and decor is awesome, probably the best thing they have going for them. The food and drinks however were pretty bad. The first time I went I got an appetizer and enchiladas. Basically, all of the food lacked FLAVOUR. Barely ate any of it. We just wanted to leave. The second time, I went for late-night drinks with a friend because I thought, hey, they probably cant mess drinks up too much. Besides not having a drink menu (??), the drink we ordered, a strawberry daiquiri, was weak and you could barely taste the strawberry! What this place needs to focus on is bringing the FLAVOUR, for both drinks and food. read more

Am I the only one who had cockroaches crawl out of the wall after the food was served, and crawl all over the table/food? It boggles my mind why people love to eat here, I for one have been permanently traumatized. read more

Worst bar ever. The waitresses are rude. One time a waitress told me it was last call. She took forever to bring our beers and five minutes after dropping them off she came back to "confiscate" them when it was barely past two. Another time a bartender told me she didn't have "time" for me to be in a picture with my friends when I was the only one buying a drink at the time. Seriously, I get it, you all went to art school and can't find jobs now but take it easy. Also the food is ridiculously bad. read more

This is the ideal trash bar. If you are in the mood for the ultimate last call nacho feast go here. Tips: Kings Crown nachos for meat lovers and Mediterranean nachos for vegetarian babes are the ways to go. They do a sours special, I can't remember which day, but it's a whiskey and bar lime, which I'm honestly down for, just don't expect shaken egg whites and bitters, which, I mean why would you at a bar that's literally coated in graffiti. I mean this in the most fond of ways. Have your ID ready when you walk in, because there will be a bouncer at the door at night and you should just make both if your lives easier. Im pro bouncer at the door. Bar service is way faster that way. read more

On Wednesdays you can get a pitcher of beer and get $6.00 off the nachos. The nachos are HUGE and well equipped with guac and sour cream. It's cheap and the atmosphere is awesome. Even the bathrooms are cool, COVERED in grafitti. read more

When I forst came here I thought it was a bit pricy ubtil I got my plate of food. Its a lot. I come for brunch on weekends all the time. More of the rock alternative atmosphere. But dont let that intidimate you everyone is welcome. Staff are kind. They dont take debet and dont spilt bills. Who dosnt split bills? read more

got the northern blues nachos the other night- soooo good! these aren't on the paper menu but on posters stuck on the walls. bbq sauce, bacon, steak, all the usual toppings. very friendly service by one girl (casey I think) but there's another girl who works there with red hair who really really needs to get some lessons on customer service. it doesn't hurt to smile or say hello when customers enter.. she just looks at you blankly and hands you a menu and storms off. read more

Ok, so I don't want to rate this place poorly... but ... I"m just gonna say, i've been here and it's a good stop over with friends for a drink and maybe.. if you want to try the food that is perhaps prepared under dim lighting and served under the same.. then you're about as likely to want to audition for the next season of fear factor. If you're the champagne and manicures type... stay away from Sneaky Dee's... (you'll thank me). If you're a college student or a recent grad rooming in a house in the Annex, then this is the place for you. Definitely a hipster crowd. read more

I had gone to this place 2-3 times just to chill out and have some mexican food with friends late night. The servers were friendly & the service was fast. I always get the kings crown nachos and its serious. Sneaky Dee's is definately generous with the toppings which make these nachos to crave for. I also get the enchiladas, tacos & burritos and its all good! This is a great spot to hang out after class. read more
