    I've heard so much about it from time and always wanted to visit. I love the vibe and look of the interior and it was great. The service was a little slow but I can understand given the amount of customers on a weekend day. The mixed drinks were solid for their price but the nachos are the main attraction. 17-25 in price but a large portion is something good to start and share with a large group.

    We went to Sneaky Dee’s for their 2000s dance party and had a blast! We recommend buying early bird tickets for their events if possible ($5+$1.95 fee). If you buy tickets at the door, it’s $20 cash. The coat check is $4 cash by the way (coats can be combined on one rack if they are thin). While dancing, it can get quite hot. There are some cool vents we stayed closed to and there are fans as well. Also, the floor can feel a bit shaky while everyone’s jumping. The energy there is great and we’ll definitely return for more themed dance parties!

    We had a delicious pile of nachos over here! The place has a very cool vibe with all the graffiti. The nachos have a lot of delicious toppings, the one in the photo is the King’s… something.

    Decent nachos, nothing special. Honestly could have been rabbit food for the amount of lettuce that they topped it off with. Sangria was good. Atmosphere was lively and they played great music, kudos to whoever made the playlist. Pretty bush for a Saturday night, but we were able to get a seat right away. Staff were super nice and honestly so fun and relatable. Planning on coming back to try more off the menu!

    You can’t go wrong with a night out at sneaky Dee’s. The nachos are absolutely incredible, and drinks are super cheap. Only thing is I really wish they would allow us to pay separately as it can be super annoying to deal with, but regardless it’s always worth it. Overall solid vibes, and highly recommend checking it out.

    I hadn’t been in many years and remembered the nachos being really subpar. We got the King’s Crown Nachos and once again they were a disappointment. Cheese wasn’t melted and there wasn’t enough to cover even half the nachos. Very under salted. Hot sauce was stale The way it’s assembled made it so we had to try to mix it ourselves since all the guac and sour cream were slopped on top. Super disappointing for the price. Didn’t even know there were beans until near the end. Each got a drink so we paid $60 for terrible nachos. Had to try em again, won’t be back.

    Amazing. I am from Brazil and I tried this club out of curiosity. I was definitely surprised by the enthusiasm of the people. If you like this kind of music, go there. You will certainly not regret it.

    Some things don't change. This place is one of those things. The servers were awesome, the nachos killr. And the vibe.. out of this world.

  • 5/5 Reynold L. 6 months ago on Google • 127 reviews
    Best nachos in town 🫶🏼 the Northern Blues had just the right flavours, the meat and BBQ sauce (chef’s kiss). Don’t bother ordering fries they were below average. Overall, good vibes and cheap drinks 🍻

    NACHOS! What a vibe. Classic Toronto space with an abundance of energy and history. The walls are covered in retro signs and funky art with tables inscribed with names and thoughts from days gone by. Our server was incredible. Engaging and funny. Our nacho plates were piled sky high and ready for sharing. It does get a little loud and dark as the sun goes down, but taking this delicious bite out of Toronto's legacy is certainly worth experiencing.

    This place has some of the finest bathroom Graffiti I’ve ever seen. Great atmosphere nonetheless. I will return to try the nachos because I was told that they’re good here.

    My friend and I loved it. Great prices on food and drinks, and the portion sizes were perfect. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is really cool.

    The best people! I was there last night with a friend. He randomly suffered a medical episode and briefly passed out. (Low blood pressure, turns out.) The server, manager and security were immediately attentive and concerned with his safety. They helped him up, brought him water and checked in on him. I've been to bars where the "priority" would be getting someone in that state out the door. Not here. Awesome, compassionate people and real human beings. Thank you! Of course, this is in addition to being a legendary spot with classic texmex comfort food, drinks, atmosphere, and great value while being steeped in Toronto history. An institution that's still at the top of its game. I've been at least 100 times over two decades and will definitely keep coming. The King's Crown is a legend in itself.

    Very large portions! Great place for after work drinks 😊 Too bad we couldn't have the nachos as they are fried in oil that is shared with fish. Co worker is allergic to seafood.

    Was looking for a late dinner around 10pm and found this absolute gem! We called beforehand and they said no reservations but told us approx. wait time - waited about 25 minutes on a Friday which we were totally fine with. Food was AMAZING, so worth the wait. Ordered the combination plate Guadalajara (2 enchiladas, 1 taco) and the Burrito Grande. My favourite part is that we got to order 3 different proteins with the combination plate (chicken, beef, fish) and we chose pulled pork for the burrito so we got to try it all! I personally love the 'beef' option when its chunks of beef/steak and not ground meat, and chunks are exactly what they served! The meal was very filling - I'd recommended getting the guacamole for starters, we got the dip instead which was alright but guacmole would've been much better. I know they are popular for their nachos (which we certainly will return to try) but their other entrees are spot on! Definitely come try it out - I think its a great place to come with friends too!

    Excellent food with big, hearty portions. Definitely go for their burritos or tacos (or anything) with their pulled pork. Great ambiance and service as well. Only downside was that their margaritas were a lacking an essential component (alcohol)!

    If you are craving for Tex-mex, then your prays are answered. Head straight here to enjoy it! We tried their Vegetarian Fajitas and Mexican Bruschetta, which was amazing and the quantities were good too. The staff is friendly and is well-versed with the menu.

    Unique design, friendly helpful staff, quick service. Delicious Mexican food. It's a bit pricy, however, the portions are big. There is a paid parking across the street and there were municipal parking spots available on the street.

    I was seating at the bar table and the bartender was super nice and thoughtful of the customer he also recommended me to try the Avocado Spring Roll which are to die for the soft avocado and crispy texture from outside is too good and the best part is the dip was equally good Have to be back to try other things from this place😍

  • 5/5 Andrew L. 2 years ago on Google
    Ate here on the patio Sunday June 20th, 2021 Had an amazing server (sorry I forgot your name!) I ordered the DFA nachos (Death From Above) without the habanero peppers because my palette is soft and I can’t handle too much heat. The nachos had pulled pork, cheese, jalapeños, beans, guac, avocado slices, tomatoes, chives, with a side of sour cream. My friend ordered the beef burrito which came with a side of rice and salad. My only complaint was the burrito was very flat and one note, every bite was the same without any burst of flavour or changes in texture. Which is entirely my fault because I ordered the amazing nachos to easily compare to side-by-side. This is my 2nd time eating here but definitely not my last. I’ll be back.

    So over rated. The food is expensive. 5 jalapeno poppers for $13 and they were just refried. Not fresh. Tried the burrito enchilada combo. It was super bland. No spice no flavor. Was a put off. We didn't order more food and got some take out afterwards... The atmosphere is good though and the server was nice

    I went in for the emo night on Saturday and ended up going into the restaurant downstairs for drinks. I asked Gerardo, the bartender for a recommendation in cocktails. He recommended killer cool aid, which was one of the nicest cocktails I have had in a long time. He also recommended me Blue Lagoon which was an amazing option as well. I really enjoyed the drinks, the overall vibe and the service provided by Gerardo. I will be back for food next time and hope to try more cocktails. Keep up the good work.

    Great place! I went to Sneaky Dee's with my friends and have a wonderful time. Delicious food and excellent service. Muchos Nachos - Kings Crown super good. Totally recommended!

  • 5/5 nick k. 9 months ago on Google
    This place is awesome and great. The food and service here is super great. I would say this place is one of those places worth going to with a group of friends.

  • 5/5 Kshitij B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great dive bar with super affordable alcohol prices! Food quantity matches the price! Their nacho’s were huge & tasted delicious!

  • 5/5 Amanda L. 2 years ago on Google
    Sneaky Dee's is by far one of my favourite places in Toronto. Cheap drinks, insanely delicious vegan nachos, and some of the best dance parties around (can't wait for them to start again!). If you want a fun night out, this is the place to go!

  • 5/5 Nathan 2 years ago on Google
    A classic staple in Toronto. The nachos are for those who are seriously hungry. The avocado wraps are amazing grilled.

  • 5/5 Chris Q. 6 months ago on Google
    Went to see a show up. My kinda vibe, reminded me of some of the diy venues in Brooklyn. As others have noted, cash only.

  • 5/5 Nate M. 6 months ago on Google
    Good place for a casual evening out. Had different experiences, the last one was very good. Good service, delicious food, and reasonable prices.

  • 5/5 Life with L. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful ambiance, Large portions, very different from other restaurants. Went here a couple days ago and got served by this amazing server!! Customer service is A1 ! Will definitely be going back

  • 2/5 Veronica R. 2 years ago on Google
    2 stars because the food was alright and then from there it was downhill. My date and I were sick to our stomachs. He couldn’t finish the food and I forced myself to eat the unseasoned grilled chicken burger. The server seemed to have quite the attitude, but my date insisted on giving a $10 tip and maybe she would feel better and treat others better. Overall, the food wasn’t what I was expecting from the reviews. It’s as basic as any other pub. It’s a cute little pub, but that’s all to it. I myself wanted to come here for about 6 years and never got the chance. When I finally have the chance and tell my date about it, we both get disappointed from this experience…

  • 5/5 Tonikz 7 months ago on Google
    Friend invited me for 2000’s night, I haven’t had that that much fun in a long time. Everyone was dancing and the atmosphere was crazy. They only accept cash, but to my pleasant surprise they have an atm machine that actually has a reasonable withdrawal fee. 100% going back, definitely check it out!

  • 5/5 Kiran V. 11 months ago on Google
    Food was good. Hearty portions. Service could be better. Quirky atmosphere but loved it.

  • 4/5 it_is_me B. 1 year ago on Google
    went to watch our friend mini concert. Place is ok, just a bit crowded that time. can’t say much bout food since we only had nachos and it taste ok. Heads up they only accept cash or maybe it just so happen just bring cash.

  • 5/5 Vivek D. 2 years ago on Google
    The best place to have Nachos!! Their interior is all graffiti, a unique interior.

  • 5/5 H G. 9 months ago on Google
    The service staff were so friendly. Enough waiters to serve all the people that came in. We didn't have to wait for a choice table by the window. We had what they are known for: Nachos! It was extra spicy with scotch bonnets and jalapenos. Chicken wings, and avocado salad. Finally the daily special of soft pulled pork tacos. They were served to us as crunchy which was a bit confusing but the taste was amazing so all was forgiven. The atmosphere was definitely unique. Lots of people watching on the street and the music maybe it was live- was at the back of the restaurant so we could hear our conversation at the table too. We had their sangria by the pitcher and one of us had Guinness. Everything was eclectic and just seemed to flow together. Not sure how to categorize the food. It's a bit of everything. Choose the special and you can't go wrong. It should be a tourist destination for a meal for sure if you are adventurous.

  • 1/5 Liane C. 2 years ago on Google
    This experience happend around a month ago but I'm gonna write about it now cause I've kinda come to terms with it. There was a giant shard of glass in my drink when I went. My cup wasn't broken, there was just this huge shard of glass sitting at the bottom of my cup. In all honestly I almost swallowed it cause no one looks at glass in their cup and really computes that its glass. As soon as it was in my mouth, I just knew it wasn't ice though, and spat it back out. How scary. I will say that the staff here are lovely and were very concerned for my well being when this happend. Also the food wasn't bad for the price. Ya we got a 20% discount which my friends didn't think was enough considering I could have DIED. But it's fine. Do I think this will happen to anyone ever again? No... this was a careless mistake. But a careless mistake still requires someone to have not been following proper safety protocol so I really don't know how to feel about it.

    Amazing place. Good food. Very price friendly too

  • 4/5 Natalie H. 2 years ago on Google
    Good drinks, great price, staff is sweet and they follow all covid protocols. I didn’t go when they had a live show, so it was a bit of a slower night. Still good overall

  • 5/5 Mariah F. 2 years ago on Google
    Sneak’s forever!! My fave after work spot. Amazing staff and cheap drinks & snacks. Bouncers, wait staff, bartenders - every single one is always a pleasure to interact with. Even on the busiest nights they are still kind and approachable. Thank you guys for helping us fellow industry workers have a nice spot to chill after work.

  • 5/5 nikhil k. 2 years ago on Google
    Shout out to my boy Daniel for great hospitality! Beer prices are pretty affordable and food comes in a great quantity with a value for money. The vibe is fantastic at this place. My new go to spot.

  • 5/5 Nick G. 2 years ago on Google
    Hands down my favourite bar in the city. Killer little venue. Staff is always friendly and awesome, prices are solid, best nachos and potato skins you'll find ANYWHERE!

  • 4/5 Rob C. 1 year ago on Google
    Toronto institution for many reasons. Least favourite bit is their one table, one bill and no debit policy. The food is dependable and delicious. They got cheap tall cans. The washrooms are brilliantly vandalized. The server we had recently was great. Fajitas on Tuesday for $17 seems like a steal. We also had the kings crown nachos they were great.
