We enjoy grabbing Steam Whistle every now and then, but the beer is even better at the brewery, fresh and unfiltered--so refreshing and crisp! The food is also really good, and we especially enjoyed the Patatas Bravas appetizer. A great spot for beer lovers and casual bites alike. read more

All things Canadian must mean good beer and poutine. Wonderful gravy, not too salty and full of flavor. The cheese curds of course are a byproduct of cheese making that serves the dish so well. Too often overly salty gravy or cheese overwhelms the dish but not here. Literally the best I've ever had. Cleaned the bowl completely. The other dish we had was chicken legs and cassava. Tender moist chicken and fried cassava was fabulous. Inside or outside seating with views of the brewing equipment and chefs working. Our server was both helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend a visit. read more

We just arrived in town this came up on yelp so we tried it. I ordered the back bacon sandwich. Very nice and good sized. The aioli was a tasty savory treat. The back bacon was plentiful and mostly tender. Fries were good. Wife ordered the poutine. It was nice she loved it. She got the Caesar salad which was ok not great but ok. Cool Place with a great server. Wished I remember her name. read more

We came here to eat after visiting the CN Tower. We missed the main entrance to the restaurant but quickly found it. We had reservations and were seated quickly. Totally love the vibe and I'm sure it's a fun place to eat and drink before or after the ball game. We had the Smash burger and Autumn salad which were tasty. My hubby and I split both meals. My daughter had the fish and chips which were also good. I had to try the poutin and it was good! It was my first time trying poutin so to me, this was tasty. Definitely recommend this spot read more

We stopped here on a Wednesday afternoon and were quickly seated with a party of seven. Our waitress was friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu. My daughter ordered the mac n cheese, my hubby ordered the burger, and I ordered the pork tacos. I also ordered the Juiced AF hazy IPA. Everything was really good. I would definitely come eat here again. My only complaint was the length of time it took for our food and then to pay after. I ended up going to the bar to ask if we could pay so we could get moving with our day. read more

Good food and atmosphere. I ordered the back bacon sandwich and it was delicious. I sat at the bar because it was busy and before a Blue Jays game and I was by myself. The staff was really friendly. I'll be back with some friends next time. read more

We came here due to a recommendation from local. It was a nice and cute place. For a pub/bar foods, they were pretty decent. I got fish and chips. The fish were fried perfectly. The breading were crispy, not oily and thin. However, the fish smelled. I think it was Alaskan cod and I never like Alaskan cod because never have a good one and they always smell. The chips were good. Since we were in Canada, I had to get poutine. I don't know I think I'm a bit bias since I lived in Wisconsin for 3 years. I like fried cheese curds better than non-fried cheese curds. The gravy could use a bit salt in the poutine. My boyfriend opted out for a burger and he was very happy with it. One thing I've to shout out about them. It's their Cole slaw. It was so good. The dills in it made the dish so refreshing and tasty. We would happy to come back here again to enjoy some beers and bar foods. read more

Steam Whistle Kitchen is the restaurant counterpart of Steam Whistle Brewing. This is separate from the Tap Room, which focuses mainly on the drinks. The menu is eclectic, drawing inspirations from different parts of the globe (offering items such as shakshouka, tabbouleh, and plant-based banh mi). Food is pretty good, with something for everyone. I had the Arctic Char with Tabbouleh, with a side of Seared Asparagus with Romesco Sauce. I liked how the asparagus was still somewhat crisp and not overcooked. Service is great - friendly, fast, and efficient. They have a nice patio that's open in the summer, overlooking Roundhouse Park, Toronto Railyway Museum, and CN Tower. The location makes it ideal, as it's very close to all the major tourist hotspots (CN Tower, Ripley's Aquarium, Rogers Centre) and the financial district. read more

Been here several times, each time with family. It's consistently pretty good. I appreciate the quality of the kids' meals (and the speed with which they bring them out). Had the Po' Boy Shrimp Sandwich, I'd order it again. All good as far as service is concerned. read more

Came here before the Taylor Swift concert around 5 pm! This worked out really well. We were able to be seated immediately. Service was very prompt and our server was very friendly. The inside is cute and has a nice atmosphere and it is in a cute train district area. Very close to the venue which was perfect. The menu had some vegan and vegetarian options which was nice. I ordered the Fresh Pasta with Cauliflower Sauce. It was very yummy! The sauce was great! Loved the truffle potato sticks on top! I wish there was a little more pasta with the dish. Prices were very fair. Overall we were very happy we found this place! read more

We looked up restaurants near the CN Tower to go for lunch during a LONG layover in Toronto. I read the Yelp reviews and we decided to give it a try. Fish and chips at a beer place has to be tasty, right? Yes! So crispy and did you see the size of the fish!!! We thought it was an entire haddock! Fries were crispy and hot. The coleslaw was seasoned with dill and cut shoestring style. It was tasty. I do not like sweet coleslaw do I was happy. Everything was reasonably priced, our server was pleasant and we enjoyed the break. Yes, you should go and a bonus you get a little train history outside of the building too. read more

We arrived at the CN Tower tour a little early, and we had some time to kill. We wanted to grab a snack and a beer after an unsatisfying sandwich at Elm Street Deli. Steam Whistle was across the street, had good reviews, and looked inviting with its outdoor seating. We had a pretzel and some beer. The pretzel was very good. It was moist & chewy, and went well w/ the dipping sauces. Likewise, the beer was refreshing and cool on a hot summer day. Regarding the ambiance, there is indoor & outdoor seating. This is a large place. Our waitress was really nice & friendly, like most people in Canada. If you are looking for a place before & after a tour at CN Tower, Steam Whistle is the perfect place. I believe Rogers Centre where the Blue Jays play is also nearby, so its a good place before a ball game also. read more

Went here after work on a Thursday and it was a fun place to enjoy some drinks and appetizers for a couple hours. The pineapple shandy was sweet and refreshing and hit the spot after a long work week already. The appetizers were all good, though nothing was truly groundbreaking. Then again, it's a brewery so I didn't expect to find the greatest food dish ever. That said, they had just rolled out the summer menu and they had some awesome sounding options, though we avoided a lot of what was recommended since we had someone in our party that didn't eat pork. Perhaps there's a few gems here after all and we just didn't order them, though what we did order was still nice. The staff was friendly and welcoming but we did get the sense like they wanted the table back at some point. Overall, I'd go back for a drink and some apps again. read more

One of the best meals I've had in Toronto. So when we arrived it was packed about an hour before a blue jays game. We waited about 25 mins and were seated outside. The service was pretty slow as it took over an hour and there was nobody left when we finished, our waitress seemed like she couldn't care less. The reason for the 5 stars is the food is just that good. I got the smoked and brined chicken and garlic potatoes. The chicken was super juicy and the potatoes were the most garlicky dish I've ever had. It's a normal beer garden with benches and umbrellas. It's worth a try even if you don't drink. read more

We found this place across from the CN tower. The ambience is neat being a former train station. The servers were friendly and helpful. The unfiltered Pilsner was a little sweeter as described. The brats were great. The pork chop was really huge. The chicken shawarma was also tasty. Overall the food tasted light and healthy. Definitely recommend read more

Came here after visiting the aquarium. Daughter got the pretzel and loved it (and she's picky). Son got a burger and also loved it. I forgot what my wife got (oops). I got the wings and they were really good! The dipping sauce for the wings was like a jalapeño type of dip and then another dip was like a creamy dill. I mixed them together and tasted sooooo good. Really good food and service. Also they don't accept cash so credit card only. read more

First time in Toronto! Food and service were spectacular. Had the Rec Room Burger (juicy and flavorful) it was great! Our waiter had a smile the whole time and was constantly checking up. Ambiance was awesome. In a crazy city it felt so calm, granted it wasn't packed (they also kept playing absolute bangers). Highly recommend if it's your first time in the city. read more

Had a fun experience coming here in full cosplay during Fan Expo 2022! Was coming from the Metro Toronto Convention Center just across the street during the lunch hour, understandably, there was a lineup, being as there was a Jay's game, a concert AND Fan Expo all happening in the same area. The moment we got in, the service staff was a delight and shared a couple good laughs from my husband and I being in full cosplay. The interior is spacey, well lit and clean and great for groups since it's a 'picnic table' kind of seating. Hubby and I both got beer, sausages and a pretzel to share. Of course being a brewery, the beer was absolutely delicious, especially on a sweltering hot August day. The pretzel was so, so good. That soft yeasty, doughy, salty goodness, super fresh too. The only thing I wasn't tooooo huge on, was the bratwurst itself. BUT, I'm really not much of a pork eater and it just tasted 'too porky' for me. Fries were okay, not much to say on em, very standard. If I'm ever in the area again, I would love to drop in for the beer + pretzel combo alone. Paid with cash. read more

What a gem. Came here a decade ago and couldn't wait to go back. Went 5x in 12 days. Took a coworker, took the wife, took the staff for dinner, took myself. Great beer and great food. The biergarten was a new addition for me, having only had the other side previously. Inside staff were terrific, outside eh. The dude on the cart could have been more helpful instead of grunting words about not being able to get food at 3 specific tables, and not being able to walk 3 feet to get the unfiltered beer. BUT still wonderful and definitely something that is a must for beer fans. read more

Wow! Our family of five (ages 44 to 9) stopped by Steam Whistle after a visit to CN Tower. Given the area, I was expecting an over-priced, under-flavorful meal. Instead, what we got was one of the best dining experiences we've ever had as a family. The food was all phenomenal, from the Pretzels and Poutine to start, to the Bratwurst and Steak Stroganoff as our meals. And, best of all? Their Pilsner beer was CRAZY GOOD! Seriously, best Pilsner I've ever had, anywhere in the world. Next time I'm in Toronto, I'll go back. Again and again. read more

First time visiting Toronto and we were looking for a quick bite. We did have to wait for our seat since they were busy but their drinks and food were delicious. We got the fish and burger- both were so filling but we couldn't stop eating lol! Definitely recommend this place. The menu wasn't too pleasant for me because of limitations that I have but my friends were big fans of it. Again, I would definitely make a stop here if you haven't already and the ambiance is really cute as well. In the middle of downtown but not overly crowded- they have outdoor seating as well for those who just want to grab some drinks (which is great if you don't want to wait on the list to dine in/grab bites) read more

A restaurant inside the old round house..too cool. Checkout the train turn-around outside, then come in for a beer and some food. Lots of options on the food..from a basic burger up to steak. And for those with allergies, even just sitting at the bar I was asked if there were any food allergies to be aware of. I enjoyed the Pilsner and a smash burger. Ok..did I say basic burger? I was wrong, this smashed burger is definitely not basic. I am not a huge fan of caramelized onions, but with this burger the flavors were amazing. read more

Gord and I walked to Steam Whistle Biergärten and had a late lunch on the patio. It was on my list of things I wanted to do on vacation (and today is my last day of vacation). My Sessions Lager tasted good! I ordered a cheese burger (minus the lettuce) and had it cooked medium-well. It was a good burger and I'd get it again. The onion rings were good too. Gord had a Bratwurst Sausage. He said it was really good and he'd get it again. He cut me off a piece and it was tasty. Elissa was our server. She was friendly and took good care of us. read more

We were here right when outdoor restaurant seating was permitted. We were seated promptly and courteously. Our waiter was fabulous and came up with great recommendations. He even gave us a tour of how the restoration was done and explained about the history behind this cool building. The beers were great. We had summer shandy and my husband got an IPA. And we ordered food as well. The corn was amazing and we really polished it off. Then we had some house fries with aoli which was really good too. They had live music which is always an added bonus! Overall a great experience. Knocked off a star because they wouldn't accept our open table cheque. Later when we called open table, they said restaurants that use open table for reservations are obligated to accept open table cheques. It was disappointing that they wouldn't accept it. Oh well! read more

- Line to be seated was so so so slow. - I had a great server. - Beer selection at this brewery is really limited and uninspired. - Location is cool, the roundhouse thing where the trains turned around was awesome to see. - Ordering beer only from server, order food from counter, but it is brought to you. Weird arrangement. Makes for more waiting and having to pay two bills. - Food was okay, I had the chicken. Came with a potato medley thing that was quite good. - I like beer with flavor, so I'll probably not return. No regrets giving it a try though. read more

Food was good, loved the Charcuterie board. The rest was good. The service was alright, our appetizers weren't put in when we ordered them, so we waited an unreasonable amount of time.

For the price I expected way more. The tofu bahn mi had no flavor and the bread tasted a bit stale. Asparagus was decent though. Inside of the restaurant also had an odor of urine (maybe it's from the beer?) read more

Service was spotty. They couldn't seem to figure out if they actually had a table available, even though there were several empty spots at the patio section. Food came very quickly. Fish and chips plus a burger Fish was not cooked. I'm an East Coaster, so I know cooked fish from raw. The waitress tried to convince me that the fish was indeed cooked, that it looked this way because it was the type of fish it was. It was Haddock... yah. I know what it's supposed to look like, and no, there is no such thing as med rare fish. They cooked another portion. We took it to go. It was fully cooked this time. Quite delicious, as was the coleslaw. However, there was no apology. no gratuity...nada. I was not impressed, as an apology was all I truly wanted. The Refresher was excellent, as were the other Steam Whistle favorites. Burger was unremarkable, looked great, but lacked flavor. Drinks, two thumbs up. Food and service. Not so much. read more

Stopped at Steam Whistle on the second day of my bachelor party. I'd been there before on previous trips and it was already one of our favorite stops in Toronto, but this trip blew all the previous ones out of the water. Staff was very helpful getting our large party seated inside and out of the rain. The food and drinks were great as always, but our waitress Amelia was the MVP. Not only did she provide solid recommendations for the rest of our weekend in Toronto, but she hooked us up with a gift from Steam Whistle as a "sponsor" for the bachelor party. Great weekend highlighted by a perfect lunch, and we'll always stop back at Steam Whistle whenever we're in the city. read more
