    Awesome bar with small plates, beer and great cocktails. Go here if you like sharing food and drink with friends. I had the cumin beef with Yuba knots and chiles. Cumin is definitely an underrated spice, especially with beef. Served with crisp onions and scallions. The hot and sour soup dumplings was a unique delicious dish filled with pork, shitake mushrooms, garlic scapes and bamboo shoots with a yummy fish sauce for dipping. Sweet and sour chicken balls were decent - had more of a higher dough ratio than chicken. Black vinegar and honey potatoes have an acquired taste. I liked them a lot - reminded me of Korean food and the contracts of the honey and strong vinegary flavour was lovely. Finally the garlic mogambo noodles were a great highlight. Highly recommend this one. Mogambo garlic sauce and lots of garlic made it an awesome addition to the lineup. Highly recommend trying their cocktails. Combination of classics and unique creations of their own!

    The Brussel sprouts were outstandddinggg. Delicious with a nostalgic flavour. The noodles were very good too. I loved the Yuzu beer. It’s super light and fruity. The cinnamon roll though… is very bad lol. $10 for a small, crunchy, dry, cinnamon roll. Sorry y’all.

    A great spot for yummy cocktails and made from scratch food right in Parkdale, Toronto. They have a great covered and heated back patio that is perfect for hang outs or date night, and I could definitely picture a cool wedding happening here for sure. They have a unique selection of takeout alcohol, frozen hand made dumplings as well as ready to eat takeout that is all made fresh in house. They are currently set up for safe pickup during covid protocols. Right now they're featuring a display of handmade gifts from local artisans. One stop shop. Super friendly staff.

    Easily one of my favourite bars in Parkdale. Great draught selection, tasty food, and excellent service. Their menu is very small, but super flavourful. They usually have cheap wild turkey shots available. There's a small patio out back, and the main space have a nice ambiance. Solid spot to go with a group of friends.

    We were in the neighborhood and wanted a bite to eat late night and this place was open. The description says small plates but honestly, the late night menu had decent sized servings. But they were also really good. We got the cheese fried rice, brussel sprouts and chicken wings. And each one was great. They hit the spot. I was driving otherwise I would have loved to try their drinks. Definitely would try again if I am in the neighborhood in the future.

    Took 'em 25 mins after placing the food order, to come up and tell us that the menu item is out of stock. Took 'em another 40 minutes for a simple Noodles order. After a total hour's struggle of starving ourselves, we finally asked how much more time would it take. They told us that they hadn't even started to prepare our food. 3 tables around us came in after us, had their food and left in that one hour span. But they just couldn't get around to preparing our noodles.

    One of the best dive bars in Toronto. But - what makes Food and Liquor so special is the FOOD! Chef Vince is incredibly talented. I have never had a dish that wasn’t outstanding. One of my friends would come to Toronto a couple times a year & refuse to leave town unless we visited Food & Liquor. Great craft beer selection. Cocktails are on point. Most importantly- one of the last remaining places to offer a $4 bourbon shot! Great staff and owners. Chill and comfortable vibes. If you haven’t been - you absolutely must do yourself a favour.

    Great cocktails and amazing staff!

    Great service and staff. Amazing food, can't state that enough. Also dog friendly on the patios!

    I've never seen such a terrible service in my life. The bar is ok, we went there before a concert to have a few drinks. Beer selection was not good, there was only one beer on tap that was acceptable. We ordered chicken wings and the consistency was disgusting. The worst thing for me was the bartender named "Matt" he was serving our table but treating us like he was doing a huge favour, every time we asked him something he answered in a very rude way. My friend asked him if the dry cider was good and he says "I have no idea" with the most disgusting face I've ever seen. When he came to collect our dishes he "joked" saying "I have T-rex arms" so we could do his job for him. In the end, he added 20% gratuity to our bills because we were a group of 8, but all he did was serving us a beer or a cider in the worst possible way. I'm never coming back! I hope the manager acknowledge this person is ruining his business. Please avoid this place, nothing special and you will be mistreated.

    Absolutely my favorite bar. A very nice whole in the wall but with amazing food you won't believe is here. The chicken wings are honestly the best I've ever had and they serve $3 bowls of rice if you just a little peckish. $4 Jim bean shots always. Staff is super friendly, great place for a chill vibe.

    Really chill vibe, great beers and delicious food. The braised pork belly is amazing.

    I had my rehearsal dinner here (sept 2021) and could not have picked a better spot. We rented out the patio and thy customized a special menu for us. It was awesome. They had special menus, flowers on the tables. The food was outstanding. They even made separate dishes for my vegan and gluten free guests. The drinks were delicious and service was top notch. Thank you for making my rehearsal dinner so memorable and special 🥰

    Love this place! The food is great, the patio at the back is super cute and love that they allow dogs.

    Amazing place! Great pop up BBQ with Liam and Morgan!

  • 5/5 David S. 10 months ago on Google
    My gf and I went for the late night menu and it was all kinds of delicious. Big fan of the cheese fried rice and chicken wings. Our server was really friendly and accommodating too. Will definitely be back.

  • 4/5 J P. 9 months ago on Google
    Drinks are around $16 and up. Which is normal for the area. Quaint restaurant. Food was okay.

  • 5/5 Marcell H. 2 years ago on Google
    Cute & underrated, the servers are nice and don’t bother you all the time, Sam, our waiter, even asked if she would rather us call her over or every so often she comes by! Clean and I miss going here

  • 1/5 Freshte J. 11 months ago on Google
    Used to be my favourite place. I used to go there regularly when they only had female bar tenders. For the last two times, there has been a male bar tender who has nothing but disdain for customers. He ruined the mood for my bf's bday by turning his nose at all of the people we had in our party. Why be in the service industry if you hate that kind of job.

    Amazing spot. Great for food and drink all night!

  • 5/5 MasonZ. 4 years ago on Google
    Very nice hidden spot on Queen st W. Go inside to the back and get a nice table. The bartender was smiling and friendly and adviced on best prices and gave us a drink on the house. The food was really good and not expensive. I would definitely come back. We ordered Tofu with mashrooms and frittes. Really recommended.

  • 5/5 Paddy T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great local spot for some evening drinks! The food menu is also great—I crave the tofu “chicken” balls all the time they are so so good!

  • 5/5 Andrew Z. 1 year ago on Google
    A wonderful little bar with a homey patio. The service was friendly and efficient. The food was different and really good. I really liked the fried rice. The beer was really good too.

  • 5/5 Nicole L. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved this spot that my coworker took me to. Menu was smaller, but all the dishes seemed well thought out and the pork belly fries and fried rice we had were both great. Prices were super fair as well and they had a great drinks menu. The patio was super cute and service was attentive and friendly. Would love to come back if I'm ever around Parkdale again!

    Delicious food, yummy cocktails, cozy atmosphere, delightful service!

  • 5/5 Stefan K. 2 years ago on Google
    I have been to Food & Liquor many times now although always for the Liquor and not yet for the food. I have to say this is one of my favourite watering holes in the area. If the inside doesn't suit your fancy they have a very beautiful back patio that is intimate as it is open. They have a wonderful rotating beer menu and they make some really fine mixed drinks too! While I can't personally speak about the food I am told it was good. That and the great staff I'm sure will make this a regular haunt for you.

  • 5/5 Tamara S. 3 years ago on Google
    The food is delicious, there’s always interesting cocktails, and a tasty selection of wine & beer. A high quality, unpretentious spot, for casual hangs or a date. Super easy vibe with a great back patio that is also pretty warm.
