    Our server wasn't as attentive as she should have been.
    Pizza was good.

    Nachos weren't very good, they were covered in way too much sour cream and toppings which made everything a gooey mess.

    But the beer was cold and the company I was with was great.

    When I used to live in the neighbourhood, I used to avoid this place. I still do.  Other than the occasionally decent live band, I can't say I've ever liked it.   The food is only OK. I found the staff REALLY rude, and I know, I got ripped off more than once on a bar tab there (for example, one time, I got charged for at least twice the amount of beers I actually had... I even said to the manager that "If I had actually had that many, you'd be calling me an ambulance, and taking me to Sunnybrook".

    I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy.

    After passing Originals a few times, and getting the impression that this spot was a bit out of place in the Leaside location, I wondered what it was like on the inside.

    My usual take to a road house type of joint is the food is going to be meh. Honestly, the food wasn't too bad. I had the chicken soulvaki wrap with Greek salad. The veggies were fresh in both the salad and the wrap. The dressing was a bit too lemony for my liking, but was fresh tasting all around. The chicken was okay, and I would have liked more tzatziki, but again, I realize this is a road house/bar, not Athens, or even the Danforth

    Overall, the menu is mostly app's (chicken fingers, french onion soup, nachos), pizza, chicken parm, burgers, some large salads, and pasta.

    Originals has 2 floors, and the kitchen (surprisingly) was upstairs! I felt bad for the waiter bringing the food down to our table. Our orders did get a bit messed up, but it was just before the USA vs England FIFA game, so totally not a big deal.

    The washrooms have super narrow stalls, but are very clean. They do have this vending machine outside of the washrooms that carries everything from condoms, to Tylenol, to Listerine strips.

    There is a kids play room upstairs, a party room you can book, live bands, and karaoke on Tues nights.

    Great spot to watch a game (before the soccer started, there was golf, baseball and car racing all playing on different tv's) and grab a drink. The bar on the main floor kind of reminded me of the tv show Cheers. Only thing missing was a snarly Carla and a Norm.
