You're Dead To Me
See All Lists
1. Crappy Desk Chairs
Why can I never seem to find the proper position in my chair. Either the back is to far back that I can't reach my keyboard or the bottom of my chair suddenly tips forward when I sit at the front edge.
Why oh why must I live in this agony!!
2. Toronto Christmas Shoppers
You would think that since shopping malls have been around for many decades the human race would have figured out this Christmas shopping thing. I guess not. Yes you may blame me from going to the mall 2 days before Christmas but really, if people…More »
3. The voice announcing stops on the subway
Why can't you pronounce things correctly??? It drives me nuts!
4. Hertz Rent A Car
Toronto, ON M4W 3G7
(416) 961-3320
Category:
Car Rental
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
These guys are located inside the mall underneath the Marriott.
To start my experience you would think that sine there is a hotel and parking garage there would be some signage to point you in the right direction to pick up your rental car. Nope.…More »
5. Queen & Jones Pawnbroker
This place smells worse than it looks. I usually like to go into a pawn shop for the random things you can find. However, I would just avoid this place if I were you. I was greeted to a yelling match between a customer and the owner. What started…More »
6. Krachen Wagen @ Canada's Wonderland
The worst bumper cars in the history of mankind!
You have to drive one way in a circle and there are about 30% more cars than there should be so everyone jams up.
Really people!! Bumper cars in a circle?
7. The Back Alley Night Club
If you like overly loud rock music in a dirty, sweaty, bar then this is the place for you; but not for me. I really don't understand why people stand in line here just to get in and sweat to music you can't even hear because your eardrums have…More »
8. Teaopia
I've come here on two separate occasions and both times I've walked out without being able to make a purchase. The first time it was taking the single staff member so long to help the customers ahead of me that I just couldn't stand waiting any…More »
9. KFC
I went in tonight to try the Double Down for the first time. They were out of the cheese that normally comes on it so they were making them with Kraft Singles. Seriously! You could see the guy making the sandwich unwrapping each individual slice of…More »
10. New Tasty Chicken House
Toronto, ON M4M 1K1
(416) 461-3368
Category:
Chicken Wings
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
This place is a dump that doesn't actually have chicken. What they do have is people regularly having yelling matches out front.
11. Williams Coffee Pub
Well this place was certainly terrible. They forgot our order and then when we asked where it was it took too long for them to make it. Oh, and by then they had run out of the soup I had ordered (French Onion) and I was stuck with a lovely mess of…More »
12. Zipcar Huntley Street Pickup Location
This is the location closest to my house. There is a Civic and a Jetta here that never seem to be available during the week or on the weekend.
13. Deal Zone
This place is like a dollar store owned by a hoarder. There are piles of sh*t EVERYWHERE! I couldn't tell where the racks ended and the floor began near the rear of the store. They have your usual dollar store odds and ends but some of it looks…More »
14. The Bagel Stop
Toronto, ON M4W 3G7
(416) 413-0888
Category:
Bagels
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
I went to try this place on my way to work this morning. The staff seemed friendly and were quick to get my order together. That was until they couldn't process my debit card.
I'm sorry, but don't blame me for my debit card not working when you have…More »
15. Scotiabank
Probably the worst hours of any bank I've ever been to. What bank closes at 3:00 in the afternoon?
I specifically left work early to ensure I was here before 5 only to find out that this branch caters to...wait...who do they cater to? THEY CLOSE…More »
16. Zyng Asian Market and Noodlery
It's a nice looking place and the food is alright tasting. But that's about all that is good. Sure it's a build your own meal kind of thing but definitely the worst I've experienced. For $10 they give you a small bowl (think miso soup at a sushi…More »
17. McDonald's Restaurants
Toronto, ON M4Y 2B2
(416) 413-1442
Category:
Fast Food
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
This is a pretty sketchy place. There are always homeless people sitting on the steps outside begging for money as they (mostly) block the entrance. The other day there was someone with an obvious mental disease that was randomly yelling at a…More »
18. Barburrito
STAY AWAY!
I didn't think it was possible to totally screw up a burrito, but Barburrito has managed to do it.
In other burrito reviews I've said I could probably wrap dog food in a tortilla and it would taste better. I was wrong. The burrito I had…More »
19. Canada Post Central & West Customer Service
Well this is a great show of your tax dollars at work. I tried calling Canada Post to make a claim for a lost package. I got what I thought was the standard greeting message to work through the automated system. No, this message was something to the…More »
20. Moe's Southwest Grill
Over priced, crappy, and obnoxious.
$9.00+ for a burrito where all the ingredients but lettuce came from a can? Seriously?
I could have wrapped dog food in a tortilla and I would have been more satisfied.
And finally, maybe Moe should think about…More »
21. President's Choice Financial Services
Since moving to Toronto a little over a year ago I had been flirting with the idea of switching to PC Financial. In Calgary it didn't make sense since there is only Superstore to shop at. But here in Toronto there are so many Loblaw options that it…More »
22. Okonomi House Restaurant
Toronto, ON M4Y 2R4
(416) 925-6176
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
This is a one star review simply because the guy I talked to lied to me. We went here for a UYE. There were 15 of us which is a rather large group for this small place. Kat F. had called ahead and though they don't take reservations was told that it…More »
23. Sunnyside Auto
Toronto, ON M5T 2S6
(416) 924-1191
Category:
Auto Repair
Neighbourhoods: Kensington Market, Little Italy
Their workmanship is at about a "B". Their customer service is an "F". I originally went to this place because my insurance company wanted a particular inspection done and this was the closest place to my house. After the inspection the gentleman…More »
24. Iron Horse Corporation
Toronto, ON M4Y 2B6
(416) 642-9012
Neighbourhoods: Yorkville, Downtown Core
These guys have no respect for your time. I scheduled an appointment at 11:30 and it did not happen until 12:10. Also the man I met with could not remember things I had told him 10 seconds before; it was like he was just going through the motions…More »
25. Career Foundation
GGGGRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
I talked with the same lady 4 times in one week, each time leaving a message because she doesn't answer the phone, and she can't remember me and has to look up my file each time. Don't you think that if you are returning my call…More »
26. Beaches Coin-Op Car Wash
Toronto, ON M4L 1G6
(416) 690-2739
Categories:
Auto Detailing,
Car Wash
Neighbourhood: Upper Beach
You're a coin-op car wash and your bill changer is out of order? Seriously? SERIOUSLY?!!!
I have no basis of comparison within Toronto but this place is 4 minutes for $3.00 so good or bad deal, I'm not sure. This is mostly a rip-off to me as I had…More »
27. B. Zone Games
I really don't know how these guys have stayed in business. I've never seen anyone in the store. Their window displays haven't been changed in a very long time, based on the fact that all of the boxes have been faded by the sun almost beyond…More »
28. Sky Yard
Toronto, ON M6J 1J4
Category:
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: West Queen West, Beaconsfield Village
So things started off really well here.
I came with a bunch of co-workers for some drinks. The couple of us that arrived first grabbed a booth out on the patio. The server was really friendly and quickly got us some drinks. She was on top of our table…More »
29. Pinstripe
The guy working here is probably the rudest person I've ever met working retail in a mall. He was very rude until the point he came to the realization that I was actually going to make a purchase. He also gave a stern talking to some kids that were…More »
30. Coffee Time Donute
I love it when I can go into a chain-type coffe place and expect a standard level of service. This was my first experience with Coffee Time as I generally go to Starbucks or Timmy's. This location should consider straying from the corporate…More »
31. La Poutine Machine stand during Jazz Fest
This stand was roughly at the corner of Queen Street and Glen Manor Drive and came by recommendation of Christine C. (http://www.yelp.ca/use...)
This was the WORST poutine I have had in my life!! The gravy was like beef flavored water, the fries were…More »
32. Soundsaround
Pros:
- I really can't think of any
Cons:
- pushy commission sales people who practically block the door so you can't leave without buying something
- their return policy, or lack thereof. If you buy something at this store you own it. There's no…More »
33. Royal Home Hardware & Building Supplies
Toronto, ON M5A 3A3
(416) 924-3921
Category:
Hardware Stores
Neighbourhood: Cabbagetown
If you are going to close your store early you should update your phone recording. I ran out of epoxy for a job I needed to finish up. I called the store in the afternoon and listened to the recording that said the store was open until 7:00 pm on…More »

34. Esso
Toronto, ON M4X 1P7
(416) 925-5448
Category:
Gas & Service Stations
Neighbourhood: Cabbagetown
If you're a pedestrian walking past this place WATCH OUT! There always seems to be a taxi coming in or going out that isn't watching and may run you down.
35. Shoe Time
There's a big "clear out" sign in the window so we can only hope that it means the end of this place. The guy was too busy playing video games on his computer (looked like he was playing WOW) to really help me with anything. The shoes here are…More »
36. California Burrito
Toronto, ON M5S 3E4
(416) 858-0708
Categories:
Mexican,
Barbeque,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhoods: University of Toronto, Downtown Core
I don't know where these burritos come from, but it certainly isn't California. Time for the Burrito Whisperer™ to weigh in.
When I walked in here there were 5 people ahead of me. There was instant confusion when I walked in. I joined the line right…More »
