Review of Tom's Dairy Freeze at 630 The Queensway, Toronto, ON M8Y

Like Dairy Queen, but with real dairy in their soft serve treats. They have all the usual suspects: dipped cones, sundaes, banana splits, etc. But what I love are their shakes. Lots of flavours, plus they’ll do them malted and/or extra thick. They also have burgers, hot dogs, souvlaki, e...

Review of Royal Burger at 1925 Lake Shore Blvd W, Toronto, ON M6S

by GilbertLi:

Don’t let the name or appearance of this round shack by the lake fool you. RB’s specialty is slow smoked ribs and chicken. Sides include fresh cut fries and baked beans. If you’re driving east along Lakeshore and nearing Windemere it’s definitely worth a stop.

Review of Ba Le at 538 Dundas St W, Toronto, ON M5T

by GilbertLi:

There are lots of places to get banh mi along Spadina, but I prefer this one that is on Dundas, just west of Spadina. The rolls they use are more slender, like a mini French baguette. All the veggies they use are always very fresh. In addition to the sandwiches, they also have some prepackaged...

Review of Avenue Open Kitchen at 7 Camden St, Toronto, ON M5V

by GilbertLi:

Ditto what AM says. Like Peter Street Deli, I love the Ave’s daily specials. They mix it up a bit more so in addition to carved in stone ones, like the legendary braised beef short ribs on Thursdays, they also have some once in a while ones, like the pastitchio (kind of like moussaka but...

Review of Congee Queen at 895 Lawrence Ave E, Toronto, ON M3C

by GilbertLi:

This is the place I take downtowners to introduce them to suburban Chinese food. The places downtown are convenient and okay, but really pale to what’s available when you venture a bit north. Very casual HK-Cantonese place for noodles, congee, bbq, etc. Try this place once and you’...

Review of New York Subway at 520 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M5V

by GilbertLi:

For newbies, the menu can be a bit confusing as nothing is self explanatory nor what it seems. At first stick with any of the “jumbo grilled burritos”. The other types just have slightly different sauces/spicing and fillings.

Review of Burrito Boyz at 218 Adelaide St W, Toronto, ON M5H

by GilbertLi:

Try the halibut, if you haven’t already. It’s lightly battered and then deep fried. Until we get real fish tacos here, this will have to do.

Review of Ghandi Cuisine at 554 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M5V

by GilbertLi:

The prices have been creeping up, so it’s become a special treat place now. The butter chicken is legendary for a reason.

Review of Albert's Real Jamaican at 558 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M5V

by GilbertLi:

The jerk pork is my favourite. Huge hunks of tender meat. Deep jerk spicing.
