    We wanted to love this place for takeout however ended up disappointed. Fried chicken undercooked in middle and fried with old oil so batter was very overdone and oily. Sides were so so and dessert was sad excuse of cheesecake. We ordered a family dinner via ritual and it was underwhelming

    I wasted my money this evening at Morgan's restaurant because I had to dump everything in the trash! The fries were burnt and salty. The chicken was also salty (you can see the white salt on the burnt and stiff chicken; it seems as though it was stale and re-heated in a microwave so it got stiff and burnt. I'm a very good cook so I do know what is good and delicious food so whenever I shall buy food at any restaurants I expect to get nothing less! I'll pay any amount of money for GOOD FOOD so it disgusts me when people try to get rid of their STALE FOOD by SELLING it to ME! I got burnt, stiff and salty food so I'll NEVER return to Morgan's EVER again! Especially to the owner; this review was edited last night because of a spelling mistake.

    I have gone to Morgan's many times but this is the first I've been there since new owners took over. The food was fine the waitress was fine and the ambience was fine but the washroom was disgusting leading me to wonder what the kitchen looks like. Please get rid of the spiders in the corner, get a new soap dispenser and have toilet paper on a roll. I will come back in a couple of months to see if it's improved.

    Offering brunch menu on late weekend afternoon. Veggie selection is available too. Speed of service is quick. Cocktail portion is too small.

    Had our 10th anniversary dinner here. The Caesar salad was good but could use more dressing. My hubby had the Morgan's burger which he enjoyed but the bun was a bit soggy from the condiments. We has the sticky toffee pudding for dessert which was very good. The butterscotch bourbon sauce was amazing!!! Service was great!!!!

    A nice restaurant on Danforth. I thought the Gnocchi's portion size was a little small, though the chicken we ordered was amazing. They ran out of most of the beer I wanted but still had a great selection. The servers here are absolute the sweetest. Would recommend.

    Best cocktails. Love the ambience. The General Manager and chefs make sure you have a great time with food. Tiramisu pancakes on their brunch menu are the highlight. Great portion size and amazing flavours. Loved the plant based burger as well. Will always recommend if you are looking for perfect food and drinks. Their beer on tap and wine collection is worth a try too!

    Nice neighborhood restaurant with decent selections of craft beer. They have Very cozy, inviting and comfortable atmosphere. Try their own labeled lager on tap ($7) which is very tasty and would pair well with any food on the menu. Ordered Eggs Royal($20). Generous amount of smoked salmon & their home fries were excellent! My poaches eggs were slightly over- done & hollandise sauce was way too thick but it was delicious overrall. And portion size. Wow. My friend ordered fish & chips. She could not even finish half. I managed to finish everything on the plate but was really stuffed after. They have a couple of booth seats available and music is not too loud, if so you want to take your date/friends to a unpretentious place to have a nice conversation with good food & drinks, This place would be it.

    New #1 Brunch Spot on the Danforth! Amazing Chef Pauline and Manager Jimmy make this a brunch you won't forget. Highly recommmend you start with a coffee martini - Jimmy makes only the best (and isn't too hard on the eyes either!) We had the Peameal Katsu on a bun - crispy, heavenly peameal paired with a savory coleslaw on a homemade melt-in-your-mouth bun. And the fries! Best I've ever had bar none. My dining partner had the eggs forestiere - a scintillating twist on eggs Benedict with wild mushrooms finishing in an exquisite umami flavour. Dessert was exceptional - sticky toffee pudding is light, airy and divine and completely made on-site. Overall, ambiance is very chill with an upscale gastropub vibe. Will definitely come back again and again. Thanks for all the mimosas Jimmy - and thanks to the lovely Amore for putting up with us, you're a real gem!

    Awesome, friendly service! Good selection of craft beers with a unique one from Left Field usually on tap. Double smoked burger was delicious!

    Tried this restaurant on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. We sat on the patio which was great to enjoy the weather. A smaller restaurant so no need to wait in line and the waitress was extremely polite and gave good advice on the food. I had the fried chicken sandwich which was amazing had a aioli on it which was delicious and bread from Ace bakery really was a nice touch also came with some delicious match stick fries. The other meal was an eggs benedict which had a great hollandaise sauce and some delicious breakfast potatoes. Had a good beer selection and reasonably priced. The only thing better than the food was my company. Definitely will be going back to try the dinner menu.

    Had dinner and brunch here so far. Fried chicken is awesome. Eggs Benny the Hollandaise is a little thick and creamy didn't seem like regular hollandaise. The breakfast plate was amazing tho! And espresso martinis were great.

    Cool gastropub along the Danforth. Did a back-to-back dinner then brunch, so obviously liked the place. Standouts were the shakshuka at brunch (great poach on the eggs, strongly tomato stew), the mussels (generous serving, tasty broth) and beef ragu rigatoni (beef was tender, noodles were al dente, tomato sauce was deliciously wined) at dinner, and the mums trifle for dessert (interesting jelly layers, wasn't too sweet). Place is casually upscale pub, service is friendly and quick, prices are reasonable as far as gastropubs go. Can see why Morgans is a go-to in the neighbourhood.

    I loved the cozy vibe and the extremely comfortable seats! The staff were very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious and the portions were large. The bill came with a QR code giving you the option to pay through your phone which I’ve never seen before and found really cool :)

    Came here for a casual drink and ordered the wings appetizer. Very good! Wings were crispy and juicy inside, nicely flavoured. Fries were thick but perfectly fried. Thoughtfully prepared, tasty food! Looking forward to trying more of the menu. Oh yeah, nice staff too!

    I ordered the chuck /brisket burger. They burnt the burger, it was dry as a bone, pretty flat and hard with black grill marks. They refused to do anything saying that they really need to cook the burger for safety. The waiter did take off my coke from the bill, which was 4 bucks. I’m really disappointed because the cook didn’t take responsibility, not in the kitchen when it was allowed to go out to a customer and more importantly not acknowledging his mistake when I complained that it was way over cooked/ burnt. Obviously they were very aware of the mistake and were too cheap to give me a properly cooked burger or to take it off the bill. Also on my way out I spotted a burger being served that looked way better and was certainly not over cooked. I guess the cook was more careful after mine. Stay away they are too cheap and not honest when they do make a mistake.

    I had the burger, lovely and meaty without being too dense. My two companions had meals which included the most perfectly poached eggs. It was midafternoon so yes not too busy

    Neighbourhood gem. Morgan's is always delicious and the space is so cozy. Great kids menu items - everyone was happy with our most recent dinner there. It's a fabulous local spot. Highly reccomwnd the short rib ragu if available ❤️

  • 5/5 Kathleen P. 2 months ago on Google New
    Great local spot to walk to from our home. Always good food and good service. With the new owners taking a chance a few years ago, they managed to revive Morgan's as a great, reliable local restaurant in our neighborhood. It's my fav place to go. Love the smoked old-fashion cocktail and salmon with crispy skin!! 😋 yummy!!

    Went for lunch. Best calamari I had in a long time. The burger is tasty ,definitely smoky from the cheese and the tomato marmalade is better than ketchup any day. Strongly recommended.

  • 3/5 P N. 7 months ago on Google
    Went for dinner .. the service was very slow… taking the order and getting the food. Most it was cold and deep fried cauliflower did not taste good at all. It could be a good place to eat … need to improve.

  • 3/5 FamilyFollowUp - Newsletters B. 8 months ago on Google
    Small casual restaurant along the Danforth. A nice way to support local. Staff we encountered we helpful, pleasant and smiling. We haven’t been for a few years. Staff were as great as ever! Our visit was after 6:30 on a Sunday so perhaps that changed things. We ordered two Sunday specials (Roast Beef dinners). The gravy was very tasty, as was the Yorkshire pudding. Unfortunately the balance of the meal was just so-so. The beef was tough and a little too gristly. The veggies were very dried out and too few. Presentation was nice. Overall a little pricey for this visit 2 meals and 2 nonalcoholic drinks (~$72+ tip).

  • 4/5 Steve B. 9 months ago on Google
    Our burger and crepes were tasty, there's a nice selection of beers, and the place is cozy and nicely appointed. The only off note was our server who seemed indifferent and not terribly attentive. Won't prevent us from returning but was a bit off-putting

    I finally got a chance to try this local neighborhood restaurant. What we ate: Calamari: cooked perfectly, a tad salty Fish stew - not on the regular menu, but delicious. Had mussels, squid, shrimp, salmon and tilapia Roasted veg - rapini, asparagus and mushrooms Shrimp Cesar salad Short rib rigatoni Aperol spritz - not too sweet! Overall, it was a fantastic restaurant. They were a bit understaffed, so somethings took a little time, but our server was quite nice and really did her best. I definitely recommend it and will come back.

    Great food and exceptional service comes naturally at Morgans! Excellent beer and cocktail selection. Short rib pasta and the burger were delicious. We’ll definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Felis D. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent food (especially the burgers and fish and chips), and excellent service. They have a decent selection of beer as will. I highly recommend stopping in if you're in the neighborhood.

  • 5/5 Sean M. 5 years ago on Google
    I had the crispy chicken sandwich (on the lunch menu) and it was delicious! The service is also very welcoming. I haven't had dinner here so I can't comment on that menu, but my family all enjoyed the lunch menu. Recommend to anyone looking for a pleasant meal on the Danforth!

    Morgans' Double Smoked is the best burger in east Toronto! I did takeout via Ritual app and could not have been more pleased with the quality of my meal. Price point is a bit higher than average but absolutely 100% worth it. Everything was fresh and homemade. The burger was obviously made in house and never frozen. The fries were obviously fresh cut and also never frozen. If they tend to their taps as carefully as they tend to their food quality, this will be a prime place for an outing once things fully open up again.

  • 4/5 Chris M. 5 years ago on Google
    Great little place. Nachos were fresh and great. I had the Thursday night special, fried chicken and ribs. The chicken was amazing and the ribs were pretty good - a little tangy/spicy. The cornbread that comes with it was terrific.
