It was a quick wait, and they were nice enough to swap out the coleslaw on the side for some potato salad (coleslaw is best served by placing it in the trashcan.. don't hate me).

The Pastrami was very good, not fatty at all, a bit greasy overall so next time I would order it with light or no spread.

If I'm in a pinch, this is a great option for a quick meal!

One of the servers was scratching her hair and then setting tables and serving guests. All staff looked (with the exception of the hostess and our server) lunkept, and a couple of them looked like they dragged themselves out of bed to catch their shift. The salad was soaked in basalmic, and the smash burger from Farm Boy tastes better than this. It's busy because there's no other place to sit down and eat at the island. Next time I go to the island, I will purchase from Farm Boy and picnic. If you're going to run a business, especially a restaurant, be ready to open, be clean everywhere, smile and greet your guests (seriously, we thought we were an imposition), and make good food.

Smorgasburg (literally translated to "open sandwich table" in Swedish) is an open-air food market…read morethat first became popular in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Miami, and Los Angeles. Glad it came to Toronto! It's one of the best (and my personal favourite) outdoor street food festivals in the city, with a diverse selection of food & drink vendors and food trucks. The selection of food and drinks at Smorgasburg is better than in most other annual summer food festivals out there. They have everything from Filipino, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Japanese, and Middle Eastern, to Indian, Mexican, Argentinian, West & East African, and everything in between. Many of the food items are fusion and show their creative spins, such as sushi tacos, jerk shrimps with plantains and edamame, croissant sandwiches with Asian ingredients, etc. I love the eclectic selection of food and drinks here. The atmosphere is also better than many other food festivals because it's right by the waterfront, so you get a nice breeze. There are lots of tables and chairs to sit and dine (some with patio-style umbrellas for shade). Who doesn't like to dine with a view (and breeze from the lake)? The area is fenced off because they have been licensed to serve alcohol within the perimeters. The portion sizes are decent - some are small or tapas-sized, which makes it perfect for trying lots of different things and sharing. Some portion sizes are bigger and enough for a meal (such as the oyster omelette). There are lots of nice, refreshing drink options too (such as fresh watermelon and pineapple smoothies, coconut water, Thai iced tea, Vietnamese lemonade, and more). Dessert options are great - lots of my favourite Asian desserts make appearance here at Smorgasburg: Filipino halo-halo, Thai mango with pandan sticky rice, Thai ta-go (sago pearls with corn and coconut) from Bear Pung. The vendors rotate twice every season (different vendors for the first half of summer, and different set for the second half). Some vendors take part in Smorgasburg for both sessions. Another reason to come back often to try different foods!

There are several things that I want to bring up with this location…read more PROs The pros are that the food provided is great, it tastes good and is healthy which is one of the main goals of going to the establishment. If you are aiming for healthy eats, then this is the place to hit up. Its in the downtown core and is accessible. They also offer a killer Portuguese Tart to wrap up a meal! CONs Unfortunately, this is where it goes off the rails a bit. Some of the cons to the location is that the price point isn't in line with other similar locations in the area. I get more salad/rice bowls from Salus just up the street for $5 cheaper. There is no differentiator between the two on this level. I think its reflected in the customer presence as well as I've rarely seen the location filled at lunch. I would say the return for a $20 rice bowl, the amount of rice and protein provided was concerning and miniscule in comparison to competitors in the area. The last con I have is that the location doesn't operate in cash which may be uncommon these days, but it can be annoying to those who do and don't have alternative ways of paying. The food is fine, but comparable and cheaper options are available nearby. I have no compelling reason to return here and that is one of the issues I face when I think about this location. Give the public something different or at a more competitive price to succeed.

I suppose I should've ordered one of their famous sandwiches, but I noticed a Farmer's Wrap on the menu and I simply cannot say no to a wrap. It was ready about 10 minutes after u ordered it and it's terrific. It's packed with delicious components, from the silky smooth egg to the savory sausage to the crispy hashbrown, and the whole thing is tied together with a sweet and spicy chipotle sauce. Someday I'll try one of their egg sandwiches, hopefully, but it'd be awfully difficult to resist that wrap.

The chicken pot pie was really flavourful with a perfectly flaky crust that made every bite satisfying, you could tell it was freshly baked with that golden, crispy texture.

They had that perfect balance of savory filling and buttery pastry that just hits different when you're walking around in the cold. The portions are generous too, so you definitely get your money's worth.
