I tried 2 places for beef patties today. Here and "Island…read moreFoods Express" at Woodbine and Hwy 7. Look at my other review for them. To compare the two, I ordered a spicy beef patty and tested them for flakiness, crispness, and filling. First off price wise. It was cheaper here at $2.70 including tax. I found that this beef patty here at Allwyn's was flaky enough but lacked the crispness of the outside dough. As well the filling was too moist or soggy and it was translucent which was off putting. Also, the patty was lukewarm and not piping hot. I came here to try one and then maybe go back in and pick up a dozen. But From the one patty I had. It didn't warrant a purchase of a dozen to take home for future enjoyment. I must say the patty was not bad. However I found it was not the best one I have had in Toronto. I will pick Islands Express Foods for a beef patty in future visits. Recommendations, I suggest you try for yourself as this is a personal preference but I'll stick to some other locations for my beef patty fix.

Ordered: Stuffed Sandwich (~CAD$7): beef patty with jerk…read morechicken and coleslaw in coco bread Aya's take: Allwyn's is a true hole in the wall, tucked away in the corner of a shopping plaza. They are cash only and although they have a few tables, it seems to be a takeout spot. The Stuffed Sandwich is a Jamaican masterpiece. From the pillowy coco bread to the flaky beef patty to the spicy and smoky jerk chicken. There is definitely a lot going on here which makes it hard to really taste or appreciate all the ingredients and flavors here. The jerk chicken had a kick to it which was nicely balanced out by the coleslaw. Despite that, I would've much rather had this with either the patty or the coco bread (not both). Awesome try, overall!

Mainly a takeout spot but there are a couple of tables to dine-in. So many options - from deli sandwiches to burgers to pizza and pasta - that you'll never run out of things to try.

I've had Firehouse Subs before when it was catered for work events, and they always tasted great -…read moreespecially with that delicious, grainy mustard served on the side. So we saw this location on our way home and figured we'd stop by for a try. We ordered the Firehouse Hero and the Brisket and Cheddar sandwich. I was really happy with both sandwiches. There was a lot stuffed in there and the sauces are fantastic. I really liked the smoked, honey ham and the salty pastrami. The Firehouse Hero was a bit of a basic sandwich, but it tasted great and that's a pretty decent measure of the rest of their menu. Their brisket was amazing with their sweet and smokey bbq sauce. The full size sandwich was perfect for my bf whereas I only finished about half. I saved the rest for the next day and even as cold left overs, it tasted great. The bread didn't get too soggy either. Sadly, they didn't give us extra of the grainy firehouse mustard. He gave us 2 packs of a different brand I didn't recognize. It tasted fine but I miss the grainy mustard they use to serve on the side. Service was pretty quick. They've got a few small tables set up here but it looks like people mostly grab and go. I liked the firehouse decor and they have some great fundraisers going on to support fire fighters too. I really liked seeing all that. Oh bonus for hot sauce lovers: They did have a HUGE selection of hot sauces you can pick up. And there's a hot sauce station where you can pour some hot sauces to go and give them a try. They've got them labelled so you know which ones are more mild and which ones are hotter. I really liked their Captain Sorensen's hot sauce (which looks like a bbq sauce). It was labeled as mildest and did have a very light spice to it. It was mostly sweet. I loved the Fat Cat bourbon hot sauce which is another sweet one using peaches and bourbon. Those both went great with the sandwiches. Next time I might pick up a bottle.

I just had a very horrible experience here And…read moreI am debating on boycotting all Firehouse Sub locations because of this. Even though the location at the Promenade Mall exceeds this horrible location by 100 times. I came here to this location in York Mills Rd expecting a decent sub and some decent service. That's not expecting much But On this occasion, I entered and the one Indian lady about 20 something years old immediately put me off. She took my order rather curtly and asked my name forcefully. I mean I am the only customer in there. I waited my 4-5 minutes paying no mind. Then She proceeded to just plop my sandwich on the counter and literally screamed my name and then walked to the back. I'm sorry but this order is for take out I said can I have a bag. She saids she doesn't have big bags with handles. This is not my first rodeo here and she plops a small sandwich bag on the counter with absolutely no customer service like bagging it for me and then walks off again. That's when I see a uber order with a said bag with handle sitting there I mean, I like their sandwiches but service and a remotely polite service is important too. I definitely strongly recommend to stay away from this location. And I am debating on going to any location again as this represents not only their name and location but the franchise reputation as a whole.

Somehow we didn't get the hype memo, as our order was far from a grand one. I'm glad the business is doing well so I'm sharing an honest opinion of the fried chicken and shrimp sandwich. The staff was surprised to have business on a weekend afternoon, and just sat under the cash register. Within our order, the fried shrimp sandwich came loaded in a crunchy patty with beans & veggies inside toasted buns. I was anticipating a good bite; the only problem was that it was rock hard without much flavour. Since I don't like wasting food, I didn't toss it out. The spicy chicken was crispy and seasoned well similar to Taiwanese fried chicken. Its only drawback was that the spice seasoning was quite salty. Not as ultra crispy as Taiwanese night market chicken but it'll do. One benefit of this location is that dessert is only a stone's throw away. The nearby Wooffles & Cream stall is always busy. The rest of this quiet food court seemed to have fallen on harder times during the pandemic though a return to office may help boost lunch business. However, we'll be getting our fried chicken fix from elsewhere at a similar price point.

You cannot go wrong with any sandwich here !!! I've been to…read moremany locations of California Sandwiches And have been here numerous times only to give a review just now. This place is one of the best in the franchise. I ordered my fav sandwich the veal, chose medium spice level and added cheese and mushrooms. Omg, the cheese pull was awesome !!! The sandwich itself is full of flavour with the sauce which must be homemade. The veal is so tender. When biting into this gigantic sandwich, the veal just melts in the 6-7 layers of veal and it is a full bite. Not like sometimes you bite into it and the veal is tough and one piece doesn't break and one slice of veal comes out messing the whole sandwich. IYKYK. LOL. But Not here, like I said the veal sandwich must have been 6-7-8 layers thick and it just melted after each and every bite. Fantastic is all I can say. Also, if you are not into veal, their steak sandwich with onions included and their chicken cutlet is just as good. Side note: avoid the meatball sandwich though. I didn't enjoy it and only bought it because it was cheaper. So don't be cheap and order the other sandwiches. Otherwise, this place rocks An easy recommendation with a glowing 5 stars I'll be back, maybe see you there !!!
