I heard a customer ask the cashier to make the coffee specifically from that machine lol. I wound up getting a hot latte but they can make them iced as well. The cup is pretty cool and has a built in sleeve that comes on it so your fingers are protected. My latte was smooth, strong, and hot! Just perfect.

This restaurant had me nervous because of how it looked. I came because the reviews were good…read more When we walked in we were seated right away. I'll be honest, the restaurant looked like it used to be an insurance office, and then switched a few things around to make it look like a restaurant. Honestly, once the food came none of that mattered. It was soo good. I had eggs with bacon and home fries. I never had home fries like that before. The server told me they season them with a bag of spices, including curry. Next time I come to Toronto, I'll pass by here again. Worth the trip.

Fantastic bbq. Best in the city!…read more Wife surprised me with this for my pre-birthday. Didn't know it was Michelin recommended and I understand why. This place tastes amazing. Angus beef brisket was perfect Texas bbq. Juicy, great flavour, perfect flop Short rib is the best beef rib in the city. Juicy, unctuous, meaty. Amazing. Honey garlic wings had excellent smoke. Fantastic. Mac and cheese was delicious and cheesy. Best I've had in toronto. Maple smoked beans were ok. I wouldn't order again though. Poutine has a great gravy that had a nice depth of flavour. One of my favourite poutines. Tri tip had chimichurri on it which was a nice touch. Tougher of meat is not my preference but still had great flavour and smoke. Beef ribs were decent. But short rib better. Of note is that all the beef items are seasoned differently so you can order it all and have different flavours. One thing to know is the place is a bit of a dive. It's not pretty, but boy is it delicious. It does come off a little less clean than it could be. Cashier guy was friendly, but a bit slow. Not a big deal though.

I came here again yesterday,…read more The sides are okay did not like the Mac and cheese main thing here is the meat. The service was good,the brisket is out of this world. Melts in your mouth good seasoning, smoked perfectly, the ribs with the bbq sauce oh my goodness probably one o the best ribs I ever tasted in my life, and the mashed potatoes was phenomenal. This place definitely knows bbq, and everyone can eat it because they are Halal which is really good, I can eat the ribs all day meat melts in your mouth.

Oh dear. Ok so I was super excited when this place opened up as I'm a sucker for a great veal…read moresandwich. I had visions of California Sandwiches (now open in Scarborough near Warden and Lawrence I think) or Uno Mustachio's in the St. Lawrence Market. Lots of meat, fried eggplant, lots of toppings available (and generous amounts), great bun...sadly not the case here. We ordered 2 Veal Sandwiches, a Sausage Sandwich, one of the Rice Balls, and a slice of Pizza. The Veal Sandwich had one piece of veal on it that had been sitting in sauce for quite some time (read soggy). I added toppings of onion and mushrooms...and literally got 4 pieces of onion and 4 mushrooms at $0.50 for each topping type. The bread wasn't great, and the veal got lost in the bun. The sausage on the sausage sandwich was dry and I'm guessing had been sitting in the warming tray all day. If it was fresh cooked for you it would have been good, but was dry and not great. The Italian bun it was on wasn't good either. Fell apart as soon as you picked it up. Pizza was not good. Rice Ball was nothing special but was not terrible. To be fair we just sampled from the "hot bar" section. They also had cheeses and cold cuts so maybe those sandwiches are better. But for me this was overall pretty disappointing. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I'll make the drive to California Sandwiches or Uno Mustachio's to get my sandwich fix if needed (the owners might want to go there also to see what their competition is). On the plus side...the staff were nice and the place was clean, just not great given what we ordered.

Pretty good pizza spot in the east end…read more We got the Pepperoni and Mushroom and Truffle Cream and asked for the truffle cream on the side because we were going to reheat it later in the evening at home, but they ended up charging me for a net new side of truffle cream. The crust and toppings were good though they were a bit inconsistent--some parts of the crust bubbled high while other part was very deflated and flat, and they didn't sprinkle cheese evenly to the crust (see pics). We also got a slice of the ham, artichoke and Brie. Tasty, but much of the ham was burnt. Overall, the flavours are there but the execution could be improved.

The bowls are customizable and they never skimp out on the meat. I ordered the jerk chicken loaded poutine on Skip and it had a significant amount of chicken on top. I love the toppings.

When I get a bowl I usually order half curry chicken and half jerk chicken. The customer service at this location is also great. I'm always greeted with a smile. I feel like you can't go wrong with whatever you order here (I've tried everything except for the fish). You also get a pretty decent serving for the price you pay. I can usually save half for another day. Overall, I couldn't recommend Scottie Bons enough. I have become a regular at this place and will continue to go there whenever I want a delicious meal.

Tips: - This eatery is on DoorDash…read more - When you are picking up fountain drinks as part of your takeout order and the place seals the lid with tape, take the tape off. I ended up with a drink leaking in my car because the carbonation was strong and didn't have a place to escape. - This place has the best brioche buns. - Get the Dubai chocolate brownie. Two Saturdays ago, I was in the Malvern area of Scarborough and had just spent some time running errands. I needed to grab some dinner. I looked at my DoorDash app. I saw a BOGO deal on a Boardwalk classic burger combo. Perfect! The combo details are as follows: - Two Boardwalk classic burgers - Two 8-ounce fries - Two fountain Diet Coke drinks I saw a Dubai chocolate brownie on the menu. I had to get it. I got an estimated time to pick up my order. I casually drove over to pick up my food. This eatery is located in a plaza. I drove southbound along Morningside Avenue and did a left turn onto Kingston Road. I then did a right into the plaza and backed into a parking spot. I walked into the eatery. There's a door to enter and a door to exit. It reminded me of Salisbury House in Winnipeg. The eatery was cheerful and spacious. I was the only person here at nearly 4 pm. I got a helpful woman who came out of the kitchen. I let her know that I had a DoorDash order. She took out my tray with my drinks and my paper bag of food. I thanked her and took everything over to my car. My food went into an insulated bag. I secured my drinks. Both drinks had the X on the lid sealed with tape. The problem with this approach is that the carbonation had no place to escape, except under the lid. Yep, I had Diet Coke leak out of one of my drinks. I ended up cleaning the mess after I removed the tape off both drinks to release the bottled-up carbonation. I drank one of them as I headed home. It tasted yummy and crisp. It was icy cold. I liked that the straws have a red diagonal stripe. They are paper and durable. Being a person who is curious about an eatery's backstory, I went on Boardwalk Canada's site to check out OUr History. It wasn't helpful with the birthplace right off the bat. It says that Dave and Fran DiFerdinando founded Boardwalk and they wanted to bring the "taste of Boardwalk fries" to Canada. Which boardwalk? It should be mentioned in the same sentence. When I think of boardwalk, it's the Beaches area of Toronto. Second? The boardwalk shopping area in Kitchener. The third? The boardwalk in Atlantic City. I don't recall any Boardwalk burger joint in any of these locations. When you read the Boardwalk Canada's story, the third paragraph says Ocean City's Boardwalk. Geez, thanks for burying this detail. As Canadians, are we supposed to know where Ocean City is? Looking at the Boardwalk US site, all my questions were answered in the tagline under the title of this History page. It's Ocean City, Maryland. Why not cut to the chase on the Canadian site with this detail?! One word: Ugh! Let's get to the food. I frankly didn't think the fries were to write home about. They are apparently cooked multiple times. I didn't taste it. They tasted like once-fried fries that were lightly seasoned. I saw tater tots on the menu. I'd rather get them than fries. I hope they are yummy. I will need to get an order and find out. The burger was delicious. The brioche bun was delightful. It was soft. Yet, it held everything together. It felt fancy and it was a nice change from a bun with sesame seeds. The seasoned beef patty was juicy and flavourful. It's halal, too. I loved the lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and secret sauce. They tasted fresh and were the perfect toppings. I had the Dubai chocolate brownie for dessert. OMG! It was stellar. It had the best semi-sweet chocolate. There was pistachio cream on top mixed crunchy kataifi bits. I'd get this dessert again in a heartbeat. I had a wonderful experience here. The burgers do run on the expensive side at roughly $10 and higher. It's excellent, though. I'd splurge getting one, along with the Dubai chocolate brownie. (368)
