Updated review; combined zero star w 5 star…which one will you experience? When it’s done well, it’s Texas BBQ w an Asian twist; seriously tasty. The corn bread alone is worth the visit. Ribs were delicious, margaritas bang on, atmosphere a chill vibe. Beats Lone Star or basic joints hands down; no comparison. Our server was also a gem; friendly and helpful. One comment; wear casual clothes, ‘cause you may take some of the smoke smell home. When done badly see photos; sorry for the quality;the reddish mess on the left is chicken, the bright red mess on the right is pork the chicken and pork ribs are undercooked. Chicken should not be red/bloody. Ribs were basically raw in middle; fat and collagen hadn’t broken down and the meat as you’d expect from undercooked pork remained tough, stuck on the bone and, well, disgusting. Inedible.

Great brunch and honestly the best Americano I've ever had! Edit 12/28/2018: sadly since turning into a deli, they’ve switched their espresso beverages to bottomless drip coffee and as much as I love this place, I was sad to see this happen, it really was the best americano ever. I don’t think they should lose a star for it since it’s still an amazing brunch spot but let it be known, it was disappointing to see the change.

This restaurant is less than a shlep from DuPont station. You won’t be disappointed in the food. It’s like eating at your favourite Jewish friends moms house. The karnutzel was amazing. Sour pickles were right on point. We also had pastrami sandwich and the Coca-Cola brisket they were very tasty. French fried and coleslaw you can’t go wrong. Oii vey you’ll be full after this. Giant cookie to end your night just make sure to finish your dinner first don’t want the Jewish mom to be upset with you

Great food and amazing atmosphere! The staff were also extremely friendly and had great chemistry. We tried the poutine and the pastrami platter, both of which made us really satisfied. That being said, the prices were kind of steep for a diner. We visited the diner in hopes of trying their renown cheesecake pancakes, but were disappointed as we weren't aware that they were only available on weekends! Maybe next time!

The food here is amazing. I'm not typically a fan of BBQ restaurants, so was hesitant when my friends suggested we go here. Was pleasantly surprised at how flavourful the BBQ here is, particularly the chicken, which is super juicy. This place is more than just BBQ sauce on meat. They add real flavor!

Really enjoyed my fab reuben sandwich which was moist and delicious. Note that you have to order the fries on the side. The place has a cozy warm vibe, with retro 80s music playing. For solo diners, there are few seats at the counter.

Although small in size 28 seats this is by far one of the best delis I've ever been to. The chef's take on the deli brunch menu as well is just fantastic we did a lot of sharing our group of five. We had a little nosh before our meal came of pickles perogies coleslaw and potato salad. The potato salad was over the top I could have eaten one myself. Being originally from Winnipegself proclaimed perogie capital of canada I feel I'm one of the better judges of perogies and these were great - love the crispy caramelized onions on top. Pastrami hash with the Schmaltz potatoes fried egg and creamed horseradish I can't say enough about the combination of flavors - just so great. The Chutzpah and the Rothstein again fantasticsee menu picture. I personally like the new pickles the rest of my party felt they tasted too much like a cucumber and preferred the sour. Great experience down to the wonderful Waiters and coffee.

I love it here. We had the ribs, steak - with a bunch of sides. Each meat was perfectly done. Just note that the steak is prepared with blue cheese butter, which is delicious, but might come as a surprise. Loved the baked beans and my god - the cinnamon bun dessert is incredible. We came early with our youngster and our server was wonderful and so kid-friendly. The cozy restaurant reminds me of being up north at a rustic cottage. So, will be back and I highly recommend!

It always perfection. It's where I go to eat on my day off when I am not baking, cooking and or working ! The best pastrami, Reuben and milkshake in Toronto. #wherechefeats
