Great service, especially with a slightly confusing menu. We settled on duck fat fries, currywurst with a bratwurst sausage (of which the curry sauce goes best with fries), and a duck and foie gras sausage on a bun that was delicious. read more

We made a reservation for a large group, and they had our tables set up with cute little signs, which was a nice touch. We came on a Sunday night, so it wasn't too busy and there was plenty of space. The ordering setup is pretty straightforward. You order food at the counter and drinks separately at the bar. We tried the duck sausage as a currywurst, and it was fantastic. You can also get it on a bun, but I really enjoyed it currywurst style. We also ordered both the dirty duck fries and the duck fat fries. If you're deciding between the two, I'd go with the duck fat fries. They were simple but so good. We shared the pickled vegetable platter with radish, sauerkraut, and beets. I wished the radish had a little more crunch, but the sauerkraut was really tasty. The beets were good, though they didn't taste especially pickled to me. The drinks were great too. They have a huge beer selection, but I ended up getting a couple of ciders that honestly tasted more like wine, which I loved. Fun atmosphere, good food, and a great spot for larger groups. read more

Excellent spot for excellent food. Huge selection of beers if you're into that. I like the communal-style dining, it is flexible and pleasant. Tons of different sausages, and I wish I could have tried all of them. The bratwurst was awesome, the dangerdog was disappointing. The pretzel was also super delicious but smaller than I hoped. All around a great place read more

Wvrst - BRATWVRST, Pretzel, and DANGER DOG - German Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Wvrst is the best! The sausage sampler is a must for those who like game. They really do a good job of infusing flavor and still preserving the unique taste experience. The restaurant feels more like a bar, but that's OK because they have plenty of tables for your party size. The staff is really professional and courteous. I will be back! read more

Wvrst - Sausage sampler, including elk. Very well prepared. The sauce tastes like Heinz 57. - German Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Wvrst is basically a beer, sausage, pretzel, and fries place, but the few things they do are so, so tasty. Their beer selection is top notch and will satisfy any beer snob. At this location, though, the selection of game sausages was what really caught my eye. The elk sausage with cumin and porcini was just incredible and the duck fat fries were a perfect compliment. It's a good beer hall with great food. read more

Wvrst - Elk sausage - German Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Fun German place with traditional picnic table style seating, lots of beer options, schnitzel, pretzel, sausages, and more. We each opted for the schnitzel sandwich with all the toppings (including curry wurst sauce) and side salads instead of French fries. The salad was very good, especially with their lemon vinaigrette dressing. The sandwiches were also good, even if a tad dry. The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. Overall I'd certainly recommend a visit if you're looking for an excellent selection of beers and/or German cuisine. read more

I wanted to like this place but the value and taste of the hot dogs did not create enough value of the prices for me. I love juicy hotdogs but I wanted to try some more exotic cuts of meat this time around. I had the elk, which was pretty dry and the bison, which was better but still lacking in flavor for me. Each dog was a lot more than what a normal hotdog would cost me in my home town, even with the currency exchange. The duck fat fries weren't that crispy for me either and didn't have that much flavor. For the added costs, I expected better. Overall, I did like the variety of meats you could try here. Just that my 2 choices were not that memorable in a good way. read more

An interesting concept with lots of crazy sausage meat options like elk and kangaroo! I played it safe and got the kaas (cheesy kielbasa) currywurst style, which comes with bread, sauce, and sauerkraut. The currywurst sauce is an interesting blend of sweet and curry flavors. The sausage had a nice texture but was unfortunately too salty for me, although the oozy cheese inside was a nice touch. We got the pretzel trio sampler at all which was a bit underwhelming because it took an extra 15 minutes and the classic bavarian one was quite cold. The everything pretzel was ok but not anything groundbreaking. The jalapeño and gouda one was my favorite but also nothing too special. They have lots of seating inside and it's a clean and casual environment. Good for large groups and they also have vegan options! read more

I came in here with friends late at night for a small bite to eat. I came with no expectations of this place but it was a delightful experience and will be coming back. I got the wvrst smash burger and it surprised me how good it was. The burger Pattie's weren't too greesey, thin or thick. It was juicy without being messy and perfectly cooked. The bun was made in house and was light and fluffy whic complimented the burger really well and it had a good hold on the burger, it didn't let the inside spill out. Delicious burger. I got it with a side salad instead of fries and I thought I was a good choice. Although I had some of my friends fries which were really tasty, especially paired with mustard, the salad looked and tasted really fresh and crisp, refreshing with a tasty but not overwhelming dressing. It nice to have a couple bites of salad between bite of my meaty burger. The seltzer I got was not good. Not sure if it was the brand of flavour but when you think of a bad tasting seltzer, this is what it tastes like. The wait staff was really nice. We did come pretty late at time so by the time we were a half way into our food, they were closing up which I felt bad about but they never said anything that implied for us to rush. The ambiance was dark inside, there were big long tables with matching benches. Think of an outdoor beer fest seating arrangement, it was like that, very casual. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

The last time I was there, it was for dinner in November 2019. Since then, they have added table service and they have also added a few items to their menu. I went lunchtime on a Monday, so it wasn't very busy. The sausages and fries are still very good, so I don't know that I'll ever get around to trying the rest of the menu. I always go for game sausages, since those are pretty unique options. This is one of my must-visit restaurants when I'm in town. Totally worth a special trip. read more

My friends and I visited this cafe on Saturday, and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. It wasn't our first time there--we've always enjoyed the place and left feeling happy and welcomed. But this time, everything felt off. From the moment we arrived, the guy at the counter created an awkward situation. He didn't seem to understand our order and was not particularly helpful. It wasn't that he was rude, but he came off as unfriendly. The bartender was also unapproachable, adding to the unpleasant vibe .There were no smiles or warmth, which made the atmosphere feel cold. Despite this, the food was fantastic, just like always. But great food can't make up for poor service. We've had much better experiences with the staff in the past, especially one guy who always made us feel welcome with humor and friendliness, along with the kind ladies who typically serve with a smile. This time, however, it was awkward and unprofessional. Even though the service was off-putting, we still left a tip--though we spent a lot of time wondering if they really deserved it. Next time, we'll go to another location. We hope, these particular staff members aren't working there either. read more

the menu has so much to offer and it's definitely worth trying!! it's honestly pretty solid

What better than beer, bratwurst and buns?Last time I was here was about 8 years ago and nothing has changed! It's still a great place to hangout in a casual atmosphere. The staff here will answer any of your questions and have great pairing recommendations. Personally I like a spicy sausage with an IPA. I'll be back in hopefully less than 8 years lol read more

I went here with about 10 coworkers and this was the perfect place for a large group of people. The ambiance was great and lively. It was a self serve restaurant so we went up to the counter and placed our orders, they gave us table numbers and served us the order to our tables. We all got a hot dog each and shared a few of the fries between all of us. Very filling for sure. The food was awesome and super fresh too! read more

Great for a meal and adult beverage if you're lingering around union station and don't feel like going out or walking very far. Service was friendly and made good suggestions, food came out hot, quickly, and tasted delicious, prices were reasonable. Duck fat fries were solid and the bar wasn't crazy packed which was nice. read more

A nice lunch and it felt surprisingly not unhealthy. I got the Bison sausage as a curry wurst, so no bun. The sausage was cooked perfect, lots of flavor and no unnecessary fat. I was surprised at how much I liked the curry, kept switching between it and mustard. Loved the pickles I ordered as a side. Also had a salad, which was again surprisingly good. With their huge variety of sausages, I want to go back soon so I can try some of the others. read more

Impressive list of sausages and beer! A nice selection of local and German beers. Also a large selection of sausage styles and animals. The wild boar was quite tasty and flavorful and the bun with big and fluffy. I got grilled onions and jalapeños as toppings and those added nice flavors to it. The yellow, stone ground, and hot horseradish mustards were all super tasty additions as well! read more

So many sausages, cheese, and side options here and a giant beer list! If beer isn't your thing they have cider, wine, and a small selection of non-alc beverages. You get the beer hall experience complete with communal tables and a cozy casual ambience. I imagine on busy nights you might make some new friends. We came early evening Tuesday night and the place only had a few people there however service was friendly and quick. I tried the game-sausage sampler, and had the Kaas (pork sausage with cheese) currywurst style. Tip! Get it this way if you are cutting back on carbs. KAAS Sausage was so juicy with the right mix of fattiness and melty cheese. The game sausages were on the leaner side but didn't taste too different to me. Bison, wild boar, and lamb. read more

Note: visit took place pre-COVID. They don't have table service so you whip out a menu at the front and grab a seat wherever (except for the reserved areas) then when you're ready, order at the front and get a number to await your delicious goods. Seating is cafeteria style so get ready to have people close by. It can be pretty loud but the ambience is nice. There's an open concept kitchen and little fairy lights adorning the place. I didn't order any beer but I noticed they also have a good beer selection. The food can take long to arrive if it's really busy. 1 friend got her vegetarian Mediterranean sausage bun 15 mins in but my other friend and I waited over 30 mins for our duck fat fries and sausage buns. I ordered another sausage bun to go to bring home to my partner but they made the mistake to bring all our food at the same time and packed our entire order to go. This was a little upsetting and there wasn't really anything to do about the situation, but it did dampen the experience a bit. The duck fat fries are a little dry for my liking but the flavour is good. The included jalapeños still have seeds in them so it has a KICK. The standout though was definitely the currywvrust sausage mmmm. Definitely needs more sauce though. I got a kangaroo bun with saukeraut and onions. I'd say the food was fine but I wasn't wowed or anything. I do think the place is worth giving a try for the ambience alone. Cool place to chill after work. :) read more

There're more types of sausages here than you can shake a stick at. In the category of game alone you get exotic choices like venison, bison, wild boar, rabbit, kangaroo, elk & guinea hen. I went for Wild Boar. The tea gave it an unusual flavour that worked (if you're up to try wild boar, you probably don't mind tea in your sausage anyway). It wasn't too gamey either. It came with a bun which was a toasted mini baguette, not your normal hot dog bun. I chose to have it with sauerkraut and onion. The sauerkraut was basically boiled cabbage & didn't taste of much. Onion tasted very mild. The bland topping were probably so as not to mask the taste of the sausage. Duck fat fries were fantastic. The animal fat gave them a superior flavour & it was a big portion too. They were thick cut & crispy enough (like British chips, but the bite from the duck fat means they were more satisfying than their crispiness would warrant). I chose garlic chive sauce as my dip, which was delicious. read more

I have been a huge fan of this place for years but I have not been back in 7 years. After going to the Jays game, we decided to go to wvrst. Everything was as good as I remember except that they didn't pack on the toppings like before . However My sausage was still amazing and my vegan friend said her was bomb. The rapini was not great , loaded with chilli flakes it was not edible . Not sure if this was by accident or it is always like this but I would never order again if it is read more

The quest to make German-style sausage and fries into an upscale, hip dining experience is normally one I'd be receptive to. And if I weren't a student and money weren't a concern for me, I wouldn't have minded this as much and I would have been inclined to return to try out some of the weirder offerings (kangaroo, rabbit, etc). But $40 for a sausage (with one or two basic toppings), a plate of curry fries, and a beer was deeply unsatisfying. I was neither full nor tipsy at the end of it. If that isn't a concern for you, then as a space it's very good - I was there with a large group for a party (we reserved), and there were several other large groups there as well. read more

I'm more of a hot dog gal, but if you like brats, then this is the place for you. The space is bright and clean and the service was friendly. Ordering is pretty straightforward and the menu has decent options. I had Boerewors, which is a beef sausage, with jalapenos and sauteed onions on top. I shared fries with my husband, who had the Italian with sauerkraut and we had a couple of sauces. The condiments are at the table, and I used the spicy dijon mustard which was good. We also had two really good ciders. Overall, it was a cool experience. read more

Wvrst is A must try staple in the King St area. The hand made pretzel was soft and chewy. The mustard had an underlying horseradish taste so it was a bit spicy. Duck fat fries are greasy but very delicious -- the dipping sauce was heavenly. We got the bison sausage and duck sausage. I was surprised that neither were gamey at all. You can taste the excellent quality of the meats. There are other more exotic options such as kangaroo and vegetarian options too. A lot of produce and product are locally sourced. There is an outdoor patio and indoor seating as well. read more

After a long day of exploring this beautiful city, it's time for beer and sausages. Yes, I'm headed to WVRST! Easy enough to work out the deal here. Pick a sausage (they have two dozen or so varieties) and pick a style. At $9 or so each, I decided to also get an order of their duck fat fries. The "bratwvrst" with onions was absolutely excellent. The fries with the spicy "WVRST" sauce were even better and I was very sad that I only got a regular-sized order instead of the large. Great options in beer here, too. I made a great choice and the pilsner was perfect with the sausage and fries. This is definitely a beer hall flavor and it's perfect for hanging out with friends and knocking back a beer. But it didn't feel like the sort of place you're going to go to for getting drunk. This is friendly drinking and I enjoyed my time here very, very much!

German beer hall style restaurant. You order from the counter which I like. There's a line but it's nice and easy. Decent beer selection, other drinks are kind of limited. I enjoyed the schnitzel. Avoid the sampler platter. It's not good value. Overall I think the sausages are kind of expensive for what they are, but the place is worth a try, especially if you're into non-standard meats. read more

Wow what an interesting dining experience. They have an abundance of interesting and exotic meats from elk to rabbit to kangaroo. If you're feeling adventurous with food this would be a great place to go. I ordered the rabbit dog and the meat was seasoned with tomatoes and other seasonings. The texture is not like the usual hot dog it was definitely more meaty and rough. You can choose two toppings so I chose the jalapeños and sautéed onions. Overall a great dog but I wouldn't order again something worth trying at least once though. read more

I came here on a Tuesday night and this huge place on the 2nd floor of a building was absolutely packed with people enjoying beer and sausages. That was a good sign! Super easy to get to by transit - Wvrst has a bunch of beer on tap and lots of different types of sausage to choose from. Looks like tables are reservable for large parties as there were several birthdays that night. We ended up getting a beer flight - which they have preset and several sauces with and without Hun A's well as their duck fat fries. Everything was delicious and I couldn't stop eating the duck fat fries. After ordering they give you a number and deliver to your table - water is also available as a self-serve item. While the bench and bar seating isn't exactly conducive to a family atmosphere I was pleasantly surprised to see other babies around which was nice. However, I couldn't track down a changing table in the washrooms. It was delicious but pricey! read more

While I was initially excited that Wvrst offered vegetarian sausage options, but that soon turned to great disappointment when I discovered that the vegetarian sausages were exactly the same ones found in supermarkets under the Beyond Sausage and Field Roast sold for less than $2 a sausage. I really wished they made their own vegetarian sausages which is not that hard to do. Also I found the bread they used were not as good as I remembered to be prior to the pandemic in terms of taste, texture and freshness. I'm guessing they switched suppliers. Other than that everything else was good as it was pre-pandemic (good selection of beers, good fries, etc.), but I can't really recommend this place for vegetarians. read more

I love WVRST! This is my first visit to this location, but I have been to the union station location a few times. Their beer hall experience is great to enjoy with friends.

Super cool sit in restaurant with a good ordering system and seating area. I got the OKTOBERFEST which consisted of pork, beef, and sage with cold sauerkraut and I also got the large duck fat fries with buttermilk ranch and kimchi mayo. The sausage bun (saying hot dog for this meal is weird) was really good! It exceeded my expectations, tasted great, and had just enough saltiness for me. You could taste the slight flavour of Peking duck and the medium cut fries were hot though not all crispy. The buttermilk ranch was a great dipping sauce but I cannot say the same for the kimchi mayo. It tasted more sour than I preferred and didn't compliment the duck fries. The seating area is pretty genius. There are long benches and tables that are connected - designed to be a communal area to ensure that at least some bodies can fill into the empty space. Although some might not like this seating layout, it encourages social interaction and maximizes available seating. The ordering system is you pay, get a number, have a seat, they serve it to you, and you dig in! I would come back for the sausage bun! read more

Ordered the dirty fries takeout because I had an immense craving for it. I waited by the tables and it took about 10 minutes for it to be made and then I was merrily on my way. I couldn't wait to eat it so I stopped randomly by a bench on the sidewalk and ate some because I could smell the fries from the container. Fries were oh so good, just like I remembered it, packed with flavor and it was in a great portion as well. All in all, cravings satisfied!! read more

Wvrst is pub in Toronto. They are known for their sausages/hot dogs that come in variety of options like from traditional all beef to even Bison. All of this pairs really well with a beer or mixed drink. They have deep menu with almost any drink you can think of. This place is pretty popular and they often see a mix of the after work crowd and college students who come to enjoy the drinks and food. Fun place to go to and the sausages make it worth the trip alone. read more

Wiener lovers rejoice! sausages in all different mixtures are overloaded onto this menu. I'll admit I was a little overwhelmed and couldn't really decide, so I ended up getting the basic Italian and the cider flight. I'm not the biggest fan of German style foods, (they're normally too heavy for my stomach) but for what it's worth the food was good. I got the Italian sausage on the white roll with cheese. Like I said I'm not the biggest sausage fan, but the Clark of the link was good and the cheese really added to the overall sandwich (hotdog?) vibe. The duck fat fries were basic in their own right, but the real star of the show was the sauce. Man, I could've drank the stuff. They had a list of about 19 different sauces to choose from, but I went to with the garlic dill, because I'm one of those freaky pickle lovers. It was amazing. The beer list was too much too read, and the pricing system was confusing so we went with the cider flights, which were attentively priced and all super yummy. read more

Got the specialty danger dog (bacon wrapped) with swiss cheese for here. We came off peak hours (4pm on a Sunday) so there was plenty of space). Nice melted cheese, and the server showed you the different kinds of mustards on the table (dijon, regular and spicy). Decent dog, though I was surprised that the bun is more of a crunchy baguette than a typical soft crispy hot dog bun. Great vibes; dim lightning, music, communal tables, laid back staff and lots of beer options. read more
