This is fucking filth.

I used to live in this building. When I moved in I was pretty excited to have a 24 hr place downstairs.

I went there a few times at the start and quickly realized what a huge pile of shit the food was. OH, and it's not even that…More »

The failure that is the Yelp Blackberry app left me walking the street ("smart" phone purchase my fault) and judging restaurants solely by their appearance and the amount of people sitting on its patio. Thus, I ended up at Lemongrass. What is this?…More »

Without question one of the worst meals I've ever had.

Packed full of people because it's the only restaurant in High Park, the Grenadier has really gone slack on their customer service / quality of food.

50+ minute wait for food (breakfast food),…More »

Unforgettable.

I'm not really sure what to say about this place. It has got to have the worst food/service/smell I've experienced in a restaurant. It also has 4.99$ pitchers of "Sun Draught Lager" (note: don't try googling it, you won't find it) -…More »

The "Italian" restaurants on College are for the most part, shit. I'm not sure who goes there- assuming it is people from outside the neighborhood who don't know better, or people who have bad taste. Probably a combo of the…More »

Service slow. Food was OK - adequately spicy. Prices unreasonable. 5 mini tacos for 15.95$?? Like you could eat 10 of them and still be hungry. And all that's on them is a two tablespoons of meat and some chopped onions. Best part was the patio which…More »

If your car gets towed in the city of Toronto, it's probably at the JP Towing lot.

Timeline:

-No parking after 4pm.
-Car towed at 4:12 pm
-Car at lot 4:30 pm
-I arrive at lot 4:47 pm and give them $176 to get my car back for their 30 minutes of work

Small chicken burrito was almost 8 dollars.

Toppings were of Subway quality.

The burrito was certainly filling....but tasted like....nothing.

BarBurrito is a franchised waste of time

Slow service, over priced, low quality, low value meal.

Burger for 14.95$ was plain at best. The salad that came with it was a pile of lettuce covered in vinegar. Nearly impossible to swallow without cringing. I was so hungry I tried. Mistake.

Been to Brad's twice. Both brunches.

Food is OK. It's maybe SLIGHTLY over priced for what you get. I've had a chicken/avocado omelette  and BBQ brisket with eggs.

It takes so fucking long sometimes here. Last weekend I dropped by. 5 min to get menu.…More »

This place suffers from "omg u have 2 go here its sooo good" syndrome by people who've only eaten italian from East Side Mario's.

Homemade pasta? sounds great! Did it taste great? No, it didn't. Whatever.

Big pile of MEH.

TWO pats and that's generous.

Pile of shit, campy restaurant.

It's so goddamn tacky inside and the pasta couldn't be worse or overpriced.

Tourists like it? And maybe really unhealthy / mental deficients.

NO PATS.
