    A Sausage and cheese sub
    Nikkeya N.

    After the longest shift ever, my husband said he was getting subs. I told him I wanted a sausage and cheese sub. It's my go-to. We were going to get a salad, but the person on the phone said they ran out of salad greens. They did offer to use the shredded lettuce that they put on the subs and cover it with the toppings of our choice. We decided against it. Anyway, he brought our food home, and I was flabbergasted. The person on the phone made sure to tell us it would take 15 minutes to cook the sausage so it would add time to the order being ready. But baby, when I cut that sub in half, I knew there was no way it took 15 minutes. The sausage was barely there. It was laughable. There was nothing but salt oil and bread. I was so annoyed!!! All I wanted was my dinner after a long, hard day with no breaks and no lunch. And for that to be my first meal of the day for that kind of money, it's insulting. People work too hard to get ripped off.

    Double Steak and Cheese Hot Subs
    Nicole T.

    Tried both the meatball sub and the double steak with cheese. The meatball sub was really flavourful - loved the combination of the sauce and the dressing on the lettuce and tomatoes. We actually ordered a large meatball sandwich to share between the two of us, but as we were eating a bunch of people came in and everyone ordered the double steak with cheese sandwich! We were intrigued so we ordered a second large sandwich to share and I'm so glad we did as it was even better than the meatball! The only thing that would make me like it more is if the buns were toasted because they were soft and became soggy with all the dressing in the vegetables. Overall I'd stay it's definitely one of the better meals we've had when spending time at the nearby outlets.

    I finally tried this place for the first time. I see the place before were under renovation but there is always a long line by the side window. Subs are made to order. The steak & cheese with everything on it were the best. I inhaled the sub so fast I forgot to took photo of it. They don't use mayo, but miracle whip is upon request. Place was clean, well lit and a fully renovated dining area. Friendly and quick service. They only accept cash, but ATM is also available inside.

    Quick polite counter service Great cheese steak sub Hubby and I both gave it a thumbs up

    Despite the great reviews on yelp this place is terrible. Idk if people who eat here just haven't had a good sub or hoagie or whatever you want to call it but if you have you know this place is disgusting ... couldn't even eat the sub it was so soggy and dressed In some nasty dressing only tasted like oregano and oil. I ordered "their best" ( a steak and cheese) and what I got was a soggy something. There was no cheese, the meat was subpar and there was this oil dressing all over that made it the worst! The man serving was extremely nice though and truly believes in this place.... but that's it !

    Chicken finger sub
    Alex L.

    I've been craving a chicken finger sub for a while and got one from Viola's. I'd probably skip it next time and go for what they are famous for (their steak hoagies). The chicken finger sub was subpar and I"m surprised they are cash-only during this time. The chicken fingers weren't very crispy and the hot flavor wasn't really even too hot either. The bread was OK, but toward the end of it tasted kind of stale. I also wasn't a huge fan of the sub being wrapped in saran wrap vs some other form of wrapping and thought the packaging could be a bit better for a to-go sub. All in all, I wouldn't write this place off, but would not consider them a contender for some of the best chicken finger subs and hope they start accepting credit cards as well.

    Cheese steak sandwich
    Haleigh P.

    For sure 100% get the cheese steak sandwich -- and extra meat if you're hungry! Let them load it up with the short list of toppings they have. (Not a bad thing- let the meat talk for itself!) this sandwich is what they are known for! You won't be disappointed!

The smoke flavor definitely came through and it came with some pickleld veggies and cucumbers, it was fresh and tasty. I went with the crab and corn chowder with the bourbon jam burger and fries. Also at the table was a basket of fried shrimp, and the chicken waffles. First let me say their seasoned fries are absolutely amazing. Fried perfect and when they call them seasoned, that they are in a great way! My crab and corn chowder was tasty. I could used bit more crab but that didn't take away from it tasting good. My burger was cooked as I liked. I wish the bacon jam to blue cheese ratio were a bit better. I had way more blue cheese than bacon jam so it was a bit over powering to where I couldn't even taste the bacon jam..but again the flavor and cook was great. I didn't taste the other food items but they looked great and who did eat them said they were good

Pretty easy to find, you can't miss the rustic looking exterior with the blind pig in huge letters on top. There's a decent amount of parking, but I'll bet when this place gets busy it's tougher to find a spot. When you walk inside, the interior is very well kept and has a rustic bar-like feel to it, plenty of bar and high top seating as well as booths. I decided to order an iced tea. Something I've noticed about Canada, iced tea is usually a sweetened drink. Not like iced tea you get in the states. So just be aware of that if you're looking to get some iced tea. Regardless, it was very tasty and hit the spot perfectly. One thing I like about this place is they have a bunch of different specials throughout the week, the day I went the special was the brisket sandwich and side salad for $13.99 Canadian. I upgraded to the Caesar salad, and also ordered a side of KFC, or Korean fried Chicken for those of you in the know. Let me tell you something about that. KFC, absolutely delicious! How can you go wrong with fried chicken thighs with Korean BBQ sauce? You can't, that's what I'm telling you! The brisket sandwich was really really good, albeit just a tad dry. But I'm not deducting any points for that. It was absolutely delicious and worth every penny. Service was great, friendly staff, and everything came out as expected. Bottom line? I will definitely be back for that brisket sandwich. They also had some other specials so I guess I'm going to need to spend an entire week here and just eat my life away at the blind pig.

This is such a great experience for students at the culinary school, I love that they have this ability to work here. The hostess, servers, and food is all PHENOMENAL.

Ordered a salad, roasted chicken and the pana cotta for dessert. We left still hungry. All the portions were extremely small. They also did not ask about allergies, which I thought was SO important especially since they are a school. The salad was good, but about the size of a fist. The chicken was really tender and moist, plated well, but only a small thigh/wing with a few cubed cucumbers and tomatoes under. The pana cotta was 2-3 bites, was served on a cookie the size of an Oreo cookie. For $40 per person, it is overpriced and not worth it.
