This place is great. It's cozy and the food is good but the most impressive part is that the staff are on the ball in a big way.

I ended up here after I joined a local book club. I think there was probably about 30 of us in total. After ordering food…More »

So I'm writing this review with with burrito goop all down my clothes (and actually inside my top AND bra, if i'm honest). I am a messy, messy eater. Burrito Bandidos is not messy-eater friendly. Learn from my mistakes and DO NOT UNWRAP IT FROM THE…More »

Tried this place as part of the Telus for Tuesday deal (buy an entree, get a dessert and app for free).

Having read the reviews I was super excited to try a couple of things, the famed burger and the veal bolognese. Sadly, neither of these were on…More »

I am from Ireland, I am a potato poet, and I can tell you that Harbord is great for chips.* The chips completely outshine the fish, in my opinion. You guys, they leave the skins ON!!! and they soak the potatoes in cold water first. Their potato…More »

Menchies has a massive selection of froyo flavours and an even wider selection of toppings (fruit, nuts, cereal, chocolate, tooons of candy). Die-hard froyo fans will notice that its flavours are less than traditional (nutella, cake batter, peanut…More »

I'm an insanely picky eater because I was raised by parents who said, "If you don't like it, just leave it on your plate." Because of this I refuse to eat a whole manner of things and the majority of the time, I look at a menu and say, 'I have no…More »

I feel weird giving this a four star rating, but it does deserve one.

Put it this way: There are crappy Tim Horton's locations and there are awesome Tim Horton's locations. There are Timmy's where weird patrons loll about and you look around…More »

I love this place. Having been on a bit of a Menchie's binge (three times a week for ... too many weeks) we decided to try this place because we felt bad assuming nothing could ever match up to Menchies.

This is self-serve too, so it's the same kind…More »

We came here at the recommendation of our landlord one Sunday only to discover they were playing Alien 1 and 2 back to back. Having never seen either (I know, I know) we decided to buy a membership and go for it.

It was a great experience (and can I…More »

This place is horrible. When I was a kid, my dad would drag me grocery shopping and I would bitch and complain about how it wasn't fair until he sat me in the trolley and gave me a block of cheese to eat. If I'd known about the Metro on Bloor then, I…More »
