    Brisket Burger
    Alaleh P.

    I was in the area for business and went to "Sociable Kitchen and Tavern" with my colleague. Although we were here for an early lunch in the middle of the week, it was packed with people and after having my lunch, I found out why it was so popular: the quality of the food was amazing. I ordered a Brisket Platter, but it wasn't ready just yet. So I changed my order to "Brisket Burger" and my colleague ordered "Blue Burger". Both burgers were made out of fresh ingredients and tasted great. The wait staff were friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our time here.

    Wong Tong Nachos

    Really great vibe and ambiance! Loved the menu lots of great and interesting choices. My burger was a bit too salty for my taste but the flavours were all there! The Wong Tong appetizer is a definite must try too! Everything came out quick and the service was impeccable. A definite must try!

    Went here for a late snack on a Friday night. We arrived around 10:00pm and there were still quite a few customers here. We asked for a booth and they happily obliged. The place is really nice inside, very modern looking with lots of cool metal used throughout and heavily cushioned horseshoe shaped booths. The server treated us with a smile and we told her this was out first time at the place. She was super helpful, letting us know some of most popular dishes and how they were prepared--very impressed! We ordered the nachos with chicken and it arrived in about 20 minutes. There was a lot of nachos on the plate, but the chicken didn't seem that fresh, and was a grey colour. They do put hot sauce on the nachos, and even with us telling them to put half of the amount on, some bites were still far too spicy hot. The server gave us samples of six different kinds of beer, I had a citrus one that was nice and refreshing. I think this place is perfect for hanging out with friends and sampling different beers. I'll have to try some entrees the next time I'm in here to see if they are a lot better than their nachos.

    Went here for a date night with my fiance. I absolutely loved it. Friendly service and I like the idea of online menus. Although the table was extremely sticky. I don't know if that was from sanitizer but it felt like it wasn't cleaned properly. The food was delicious great flavour and the steak was tender. I got the NY Steak + Gluten-free truffle fries and my Fiance got the Oktoberfest Flat Bread.

Scotch Egg: Delicious dipped in that hp sauce. The cheese on the side is a nice touch to even the saltiness out. Rabbie Burns: The gravy really brought this dish home. Kind of like a mushroom cream sauce, though not really mushroomy. Buttery and luscious. I could drink it on its own but I held back (I have regrets about holding back). The description of haggis as just meat is kind of accurate. It was kind of silky like pate but also had a kind of hard rice texture. Herby and kind of gamey like organ meats are. If you like organ meats, you'll definitely like this, though I think it's a bit of a lighter flavor. Sticky Toffee Pudding: One of the best decadently sweet desserts I've ever had. The cake was soft and served fresh, warm, and juicy with sweetness. Just perfect in every way. Bury me with this sweet pudd.

    I was a regular at Block 3 when I lived in Waterloo. Well, if I'm honest, I was there all the time…read moreand they should have charged me rent. You might think beer was my primary motivation, and in the beginning it was. Block 3 is a small batch craft brewery that delivers on tasty beer. They generally have ten to twelve beers on tap ranging from lagers, ales, sours and sometimes a stout. They are all delicious in their own right although drinking barrel aged fruited sours is an acquired taste in my book, but trust me try them and you may learn to love them. But why else should you go? There is limited food (it's a brewery not a restaurant), no TV's to watch the game, a steady stream of classic rock playing in the background, kids running around and a few dogs to greet you on the way in. To make matters worse the cell reception is awful, my wife always had a hard time reaching me. Hmm, maybe that's not all bad... What kind of place is this, anyway? It's a modern twist on an old fashioned FAMILY oriented brewery, that's what! There are plenty of board games to play, the local regulars are always happy to share some stories, and the staff are the coolest people around. They have a great Mug Club and if you are lucky you get your own hand-thrown pottery mug with your name on it! Very cool... As I mentioned in one of my check-ins, Block 3 is a benchmark craft brewery experience. I can't recommend this place highly enough,

I mistakenly came upon Town Crier Pub due to some marketing miscommunication on my part. I saw a lovely lunch special sidewalk sign and thought it was for them, but it was actually for the restaurant next door! However, I was already committed, and I always loved pubbing. Opened in early 2011, it was named after the historical role of town criers who served as the primary news source in medieval times. With the general theme of Belgian and German styles, its owners believed that European beers and news were linked. Would I be crying in my beer at this pub for entering the incorrect eatery in this town!? PURCHASE(S) Hacker-Pschorr Munich Gold Lager Beer 5.5% ABV 20floz Draft ($11.50CAD): Golden amber color, aromatic malty aroma, low body, malty sweet flavor, clean smooth finish, and malty aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=Oks3ELRLtUfkwpMwMfZ7YQ Town Crier Burger + Add Cheese ($17.00CAD + $2.00CAD): A simple burger made with prime rib beef patty, lettuce, pickle, red onion, and tomato on a lightly-grilled bun with an added slice of cheddar cheese, it was a sizable burger and did the job, but there wasn't anything special about it. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=XV6Yy6lwP5yngWkIFicroA [ONION RINGS/STRAWS/STRINGS ALERT - 3.5 of 5.0 STARS] Substitute Onion Rings ($3.00CAD): A good side portion with many rings of generally uniform size, these were hot, lightly golden browned, semi-crunchy, and had a tendency to crumble when bitten into while the onion ring (not sweet Maui) pulled out at times. Although they were somewhat oily, they were good, and didn't come with any dipping sauce. Innis & Gunn Mangoes On The Run Fruited IPA Beer 5.0% ABV 20floz Draft ($11.00CAD): Dark strawberry color, fruity mango tropical aroma, low body, fruity hoppy mango sweet flavor, smooth finish, and slight bitter fruity mango tropical aftertaste. This was my favorite of the two for obvious reasons! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=_MZhEukjAcdC0Qfo4P2Kaw SERVICE I was happily greeted by a young host outside on the sidewalk who then directed me to a nice outdoor patio table perfect for people watching and the weather. He handed me a massive menu, supplied a glass of water, and soon enough I placed my order. My beers arrived quickly while the food took about ten minutes. He checked in often while we chatted throughout the time. It was a cool hang out for lunch - danke! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance): I was in the area all day for the start of the Toronto International Film Festival, so I simply walked. Otherwise, there were spots along the main drag of John St. and all surrounding streets, some nearby structures, numerous public transportation options, and rideshares - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A cozy snug layout throughout, inside had a loungey warm feeling with a focal bar with a few stools https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=LZIKI_6GFVgLIPXXkbrICA and many closed-in tables; whereas, the outside patio was less formal but equally compact. Inside was very ornate of Belgian and German styles, while outside was casual and simple. Minimal natural lighting entered inside through the few windows and door opening and of course plenty outside while dim electric ceiling and table lights filled in both areas. There were no TVs nor any background music because chatter was everywhere. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=bYpvTBTNnDqaLvrEqNtYtA ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Town Crier Pub had me laughing, talking, and people watching for a relaxing afternoon and would gladly return. The number of beers available both on tap and in bottles was insane and I loved it! The food menu was expansive. The food was fine but nothing special, and the prices were relatively comparable. But, it was the service and staff that literally reeled me in for a good time. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $50.00CAD BEFORE any discounts/tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...
