It had probably been over 15 years since I last visited W Burger Bar, so I was curious to see how…read moreit held up. I went for dinner first, then returned later for a birthday celebration. For dinner, I had the brisket burger on a lettuce bun, along with calamari and a Caesar salad. The burger was solid, and the lettuce bun was surprisingly sturdy--more like an actual bun than the usual limp lettuce wrap you'd get at Wendy's. The Caesar salad was also better than expected, but the calamari was a definite miss. Wouldn't recommend it. The place hasn't changed much, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's cozy, and the service was decent. Later in the night, we came back with a larger group, and our server (who also served us earlier) was incredibly patient. They even brought out a surprise dessert for the birthday boy, which was a nice touch! Overall, W Burger Bar is a fun spot with interesting burger options. I'd recommend it, especially if you're looking for a casual, no-frills place to grab a bite with friends.

They had a Christmas pop up section and moved us there as well. Had some great options including Christmas cocktails.

May not recommend it for takeout.

Was a beautiful summer day in COVID - and what better day to spend it than eating on a patio?? My…read morefriend from Toronto drove to Mississauga with her partner, and we settled on Pump House Grille. Honestly, the food was good but I had to take some marks off for the service. First, the kitchen staff was very evidently not wearing masks properly - over four had their masks pulled down over their chins and/or fully exposing their noses. Second, the service was painstakingly slow. It took them over half an hour to serve our dishes after we placed our orders. As for the food, I ordered the lobster avocado wrap but with the tiger sauce on the side as I was worried it'd be a touch too soggy. I think it was a good decision as the tomato and smashed avocado were sufficient to make the toasted wrap wet already. The lobster was decent - there was more meat than I expected, but some of the meat was quite soft (not al dente as fresh lobster often is). The bacon and toasted wrap helped add some texture mouthfeel, which I appreciated. For those wondering, the "tiger sauce" was a slightly spicy, sour mayo-based sauce. My friends ordered the Cuban panini and the sliders. Both found the food portions to be quite generous and were stuffed after the meal! Overall, it was a decent experience. The patio is a tad too close to the road so it can be a bit loud, and do be prepared for a wait if you plan on eating here.

Ahi tuna sushi press 3. Baja fish tacos. 4. Crispy chicken cobbs salad. All deserve praises. Delicious. Flavorful. Refreshing. The right crunchiness and flavor balanced. No grease. Due to this experience, I came for the 2nd time with another friend. Ordered: 1. Pretzel bites (signature)- huge. Salty and savory. Good but didn't leave much impression. 2. Brussel sprout (signature)- love at first bite for both of us! It's like you want to keep eating. Definitely reorder on my next visit. 3. French dip - friend said this is alright. 4. The main (signature) - not as juicy as i hope. Not dry per se but definitely could be juicier. I switched the fries to mix green. The salad is more enjoyable than the burger. Lol 5. Creme brule. Nth can go wrong with it. My friend finished the whole thing. I find it too sweet, but it's just preference. 6. Bake fruit tart - surprisingly really good (and surprisingly i finished all by myself too)..it was soft crusty 'pie' with fruits filling inside (seems like apple and strawberry). The strawberry hint of tartness bring the refreshing flavor and well balance flavor with the vanilla ice cream. Friendly and attentive service. Already plan to come back with another (new) friend.

This is an elevated North American tavern. The building was built in 1910 with a wood-dominated…read morevibe. It has since been renovated by the new owners, making it elegant, but keeping the same vibe. The restaurant serves pork chops, steaks, fish, and elevated comfort food. It can seat 130 diners. There is a wood fire grill in the open kitchen; yes i saw them stoking the fire with wood pieces. There is a large selection of signature cocktails, wines, and beers. The menu changes seasonally. Most of the mains are served solo; ie, not garnished. You would have to order shareable sides. The Pork Chop was recommended by the server as the most garnished, do I ordered that. We came there on 2025-06-19 to celebrate my Birthday Dinner. The food was amazing and worth returning to try more of the menu. They do have a kids menu too. We ordered the following: 1. Lychee Grapefruit Highball ($15). Soju, soho lychee, soda, grapefruit, Thai basil, NICE ice. 2. Macaroni & Cheese ($22). With aged cheddar. From kids menu. 3. French Fries ($10). Garlic mayonnaise. 4. Shrimp Toast ($22). BC side stripe shrimp, sesame, apple sweet & sour sauce. 5. Lasagna ($30). Beef bolognese, risotta bechemel, basil. 6. Pasture Raised Pork Chop ($34). 12 ounces, sherry, capers & mustard. 7. Crispy Brussel Sprouts ($12),. Sweet chili, sesame seeds. 8. Sticky Toffee Pudding with Ice Cream ($14). All the food was excellent, and worth the price. The NICE Ice is shipped in from a company that makes perfectly translucent ice. They boil it to be free of impurities, then put the boiled water into a mold to freeze. The Shrimp Toast was crunchy on the outside and the apple sweet & sour sauce was excellent. The Lasagna was great. Even my son loved it. The Pork Chop was perfectly cooked. There might have been 10% fat pieces and the charred bits were divine. The combination sherry and capers was a great idea. The Brussel Sprouts were not too bitter, and tasted great with the sweet chili sauce; it wasn't spicy. The Sticky Toffee Pudding was so moist. The amount toffee sauce was just right, and the vanilla ice cream was the perfect accompaniment. There is music playing in the background. There is a small private dining room downstairs. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There are two male and two female and one gender-neutral family washroom, all downstairs, so they are not wheelchair accessible. There is paid and free neighbourhood street parking. There are three high chairs for little children. Review 2025-114

Out group tried the Biscuits and gravy, shrimp Benny and brisket Benny as well as fried green tomato, kids apple johnny cakes and grilled cheese. The portions are generous. The chicken with the biscuits and gravy were 2 pieces of brined dark meat chicken served on a biscuit and collards smothered in pork gravy. Chicken was very juicy and super crunchy, collard needed some acidity, biscuit was light but a little overdone and gravy was not as fat a decadent than in the south, lighter but still tasty, wish they poured it a little more generously. The fried green tomato was outstanding as the accompany silly aioli situation was great. Kids apple jonnycakes were a hit and loved the hot chocolate with mini marshmallows for the kiddos. Gtilled cheese was a hit - got the pull and the bread was well toasted. The home fries were a bit of a let down. Although very cool and layered, they seemed very greasy, maybe oil or flattop wasn't hot enough? Benny's were both good, shrimp cake was well cooked and crisp and brisket was flavourful and moist. Hey have no waiting area and take no reservations. Use their call ahead service and enjoy

I sure do miss the days when everything at El Furniture Warehouse was like $6.99 or something like…read morethat, but that sure didn't stop me from eating at this Bloor location as soon as I arrived back in Toronto the other day. My wife and I stopped by here on Wednesday night needing some fuel after a flight in from Los Angeles. El Furniture Warehouse is a great place to get some cheapish food and variety all at the same time. Instead of ordering a main course, we split some appetizers like the fried pickles (all my wife, not something I'm a fan of), the nachos, and some poutine for me. The nachos were pretty okay, which is pretty much what I expected but hey, I wasn't mad. The poutine was hot and was a basic poutine dish with bacon on top of it as well, and it definitely cured my poutine cravings for the time being. Overall, El Furniture Warehouse is always a safe bet when in need of some reasonably priced eats. The staff was super attentive and friendly when we visited, the restaurant feels like home after all these years, and we both left fueled and ready to mostly just go to sleep, but either way it was nice coming back.
