    Enjoyed a burger with small side salad. Great atmosphere, one server/bartender but he juggled it well without compromising service. My son had poutine and it looked - and apparently tasted amazing! Close to the TTC subway station - Highly recommended!

    Stopped here for a bit to eat before a show next door. Nachos were awesome and drinks were good. Service was exceptional. Nice and quiet place to have some food and conversation!

    Used to love this place but it's gone way downhill. The service was pretty terrible. Staff made me feel like I was consistently inconveniencing the machismo bartender.

    As good the vibe of the place is, all the bartenders are busy doing is drinking. It kinda feels weird to wait for your drink cause the staff is busy enjoying themselves at the cost of a customer waiting. Also they handed me a food menu to only tell me that kitchen is closed after I made a selection. Not cool. Might return for the cider but definitely not for the service.

    I am giving 1* due to the fact that the food I received was unexpected at best. Large portion of spatzle and chicken but everything was bland and was underseasoned. The chicken was no longer juicy and the breadcrumbs had no flavor (I have had better from shake n bake). It is difficult to give anything more than 1* for food when the green beans were the highlight of the meal. Bartender was nice enough and beer was cold.

    Super quick service and delicious food. If you can get a seat on the patio on a nice day it helps too. They've got a solid set of option and their daily specials are good deals. Definitely need to come back to try more of their food.

    There isn't anything I could complain about. I don't often leave a 5 star because nothing is perfect. However, this meal and visit to the Edmund Burke was without flaws. The food was amazing. The burger was very good. Blue Cheese and Jack. Whisky Sour was fantastic. Worth the money they ask. Atmosphere is great. Chill low key pub. The server, Fiona and Damien were welcoming and attentive. A plus service. Stopped in before a concert and was not disappointed. Stop by sometime and have a Sour and burger.

    Food was amazing. Salad with the juiciest Steak. Burger was huge and flavorful with fries on the side. The server even ask if I was allergy sensitive. Wonderful friendly service. Picture is of empty plates because it was so amazing.

    The 🍺 and blue cheese/Jack D burger was out of this world...BUT lack of heat on a cold Friday night killed the vibe. Will wait to spring to return....

    Nice people with awesome drinks!Caravaggio tasted really good! Would recommend to have a drink here before a concert.

  • 2/5 Julia R. 1 year ago on Google
    Went here and if it wasn’t by the danforth it would be out of business. The cocktail I had was the cherry sour. To describe it, it had very little depth and layering and texture and was nothing but overtly sweet. I had trouble getting it down as there was no balance and it was insanely sweet. The server was rude, he literally THREW coasters at us for our drinks (no exaggeration), there was no quality check when our food came and only gave one of us cutlery. I understand turning tables, making a profit, wanting to have a good turnover for more business…but even when I payed he didn’t even wait for my card to approve before turning and speed walking away without saying a word. We were starving and we didn’t finish our dishes because it was bland and honestly made me a little sick. The glassware for drinks was APPALLING. As a mixologist I was so disturbed to see the amount of lip prints on my unused glass. It’s either your glass washer is broken or out of correct sanitizer, you don’t polish your glassware or a combination of all of the above. I took my napkin around the rim of a glass and it came out BROWN! the Only reason I gave two stars was because the garnish on the drinks were fresh, and the presentation and interior were nice. Other than that, it was a rather humiliating and disappointing experience .

    They consistently makes me happy. I highly recommend the chicken schnitzel and the mac and cheese. The food gets home hot and delicious.

  • 4/5 Katie J. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was pretty average. Not bad, but not amazing. Our server was very nice though.

  • 4/5 Lennard V. 9 months ago on Google
    We were looking for a pub on the Danforth to get a late dinner and drinks. This was the fourth one we tried and success at last. The fish and chips were excellent.

  • 5/5 Nigel A. 10 months ago on Google
    Great night meeting up with old friends at The Edmund Burke for a few drinks and food. Servers we spot on with only a few hiccups, eg, no coffee or milk. Not their fault. Food was lovely. Atmosphere was at times a bit less pleasant with cigarette smoke blowing through the front door . Again Not the staffs fault. Overall a great experience

    Great spot. Food is very good. Service prompt and friendly. Great vibe. Worth checking out if you're on the Danforth.

    Really good place to eat and get drinks. Super great and honest service. Would recommend for anyone looking for a great place to just chill and hang out.

    Nice little joint, menu is short but tasty, you don't feel crammed in but you don't feel like you're mid-pandemic 6 feet apart either. Good beer selection, pleasant staff. Not much more you can ask for.

  • 5/5 Darren M. 1 year ago on Google
    So, i really didn't expect the amazing food here! It is so much better than any 'pub' style food.. the jack and blue burger is amazing and the schnitzel was delicious..next will be the wings when we come back! The service was also brilliant, out server was so relaxed and fun! Must eat here .. also the watermelon mojito was delicious.

    We stopped by at Edmund Burke for a beer and something to eat. We were very surprised with our dishes it were delicious. I ordered the schnitzel BLT burger and my husband ordered the schnitzel plate. Everything was delicious and the price is super fare. We'll certainly return there.

    Went here the other night with my fiance and had a great time after visiting a couple of other local spots. Bartender Russ was very friendly, and seemed to tend to everyone there without the need of any help. Did not have the chance to try any food as it was pass 1AM in the morning, but I would definitely go back. Atmosphere is nice, very relaxing and comfy. Cheers!

    A great local establishment. Amazing owners, wonderful staff, and a host of friendly characters to keep the chit chat going. A Danforth gift to us all.

  • 5/5 Titka S. 1 year ago on Google
    A lovely quiet patio tucked away from the street noise, cozy interior, friendly staff, craft beer and tasty snacks make this place on the top list of restaurants to hang out or dine on Danforth.
