JR Slims

We stopped by here on a food tour while at port during a cruise. Even though it was very late, and they were extremely busy, they were very accommodating and made sure we were made to feel welcome. The beer was great and the crab croquette they made us was scrumptious. I’d definitely come back here to try more of their menu.

Very nice, immediately noticed the restaurant has a nice leather scent. Clean and tidy and the owners are friendly and attentive. We had really, really good dumplings and "The Farm" deep dish pizza is very tasty as well. Better pizza than a pizza place that's not far away and the best dumplings around too.

Really liked this place, the team running it are efficient and professional, the cocktails are delicious! And the food just as yummy. Great location too, right in the heart of nightlife in Old Victoria. Love love the music they play too. Of note...the steak and that sauce and the perfectly done greens...mouthwatering!

PROS love JR Slims and here is why... 1 Not only did they KNOW what a #harveywallbanger was, they had Galliano on stock! If they can make our favorite obscure 70s drink, they probably can make whatever you want to say #putitinmyMOUTH to. 2 We loved the #nachos, if we are going to say it nicely - they have a nostalgic vibe, or... as the owner says they are a nod to the 711 nachos... you know that 2am bar just closed staple of the out and about PRO. Best thing about them, they are cheesy right down to the last bite - there is nothing worse than a dry nacho if you get what we mean 3 They are supportive to ALL the members of our community, and are happy to show it by putting up a Red Umbrella sticker as a sign of solidarity to end violence against all working professionals. BONUS POINTS : They also won our hearts with an offer to make a safe space for the local community after our yearly Red Umbrella march on December 17th. Thanks JR slims, you are PROS in the YYJ.

Good service, good location, good food at comparable prices. Heated outdoor patio with tables and bar stool seating available during these unusual COVID-19 times. Service was friendly and welcoming. Location is great at the foot of Yates Street intersection with Wharf Street, a short walk from the Inner Harbour, Bastion Square, and the Johnson Street Bridge. I had previously ordered the Sirloin Steak 7 oz with garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli $25 via a delivery service: I was very good so decided to try JR Slims in person. My Crispy Calamari $12.50 was a bit on the small size but was fresh, crispy and satisfying. It includes deep-fried jalapenos, diced onions, and dip. It went well with my Red Sangria $8.50. I tried Sarah's Turkey Burger with Crinkle Fries $16.75 which was not as large as I expected. However, the formed turkey patty is nicely seasoned and the burger flavourful. Overall, good food at comparable prices, good location with outdoor seating and friendly service.

The food is good but it’s not executed properly. First time I ordered I got a bacon cheeseburger, the beef was over seasoned which made the entire thing salty. The second time I got the black cod burger, 75% of the cod was in the box, not in between the bun, same with the sauce, the sauce was too thin which caused it to spill out of the burger, the salad also had way too much dressing on it. While the quality of ingredients is good the execution is poor. ~Takeout order

Well... We were hoping to eat somewhere else but it was reserved for a private gathering, then we noticed this place was empty except 3 people at 1 table. We thought hey! We'll get served quick why not try it out? This was on a Friday Night so a restaurant being that empty on a Friday night should have been our red flag, but we were hungry. I ordered the Loaded Burger Bacon, Fried Egg, Patty and my wife ordered the chicken burger. My burger tasted like pure pepper and the chicken burger tasted like watered down, slightly chlorine.. which is a real shame.. the waitress was really nice and friendly, that's why this is not a 1 star. I sat on the booth but my legs were just hanging on nothing, I'm almost 6 feet tall I should at least have some foot rest. I had to scooch to the edge and it wasn't comfy. The high chair was fine though. The whole experience was just disappointing, we left hungry. Honestly, we would have rathered the food at McDonald's..

I recently watched the Champions League final at JR Slims. It was my very first time there and let me tell you, I have no regrets. The restaurant floor is open and full of lots of light. It has a simple but elegant feel to it. The location is right Downtown so super accessible and easy to get to. The hosts were super friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure our experience was a great one. I had the Baja fish tacos. The portions were huge and the food was delicious. All in all a great dining experience.

I went to JR Slims a weak ago and I had a great experience overall. I have some notes to point out and describe my experience in detail about our newly opened pub in town. 1. The Staff and the Manager: They were are all pretty polite and friendly and the waitress was supportive. We were sort of the last group who left the restaurant and the manager had a friendly chat with us and asked our general opinion about the pub. 2. The Drinks: The beer collection was not diverse and they only serve ocal breweries Driftwood, Philips, Hoyne which I personally always prefer. The cocktail menu was also limited, but creative.  I tried "Mo-vito", "when doves cry", and "buffalo peach". They were all tasting smooth, refreshing, and serving in 2oz measures. The prosecco cocktails were generally delicious, enough bubbly, and fresh. I tried "Manmosa", and "Kashmir" and they were both exactly festive as I expected. 3. The Food: The steak was fabulous! and It was cooked as I asked and juicy as I expected. My friend ordered a double cheeseburger he liked it. The noodle was also looking delicious. In general, I liked their vibe, ambiance, variety of seat sets, staff behavior, and of course the location. They absolutely worth a try, if you are looking to get detached from your daily stress and refresh within a night. You'll like the new spot.

My husband and I visited this place last week.. We waited to be seated and since no one attended to us for a while, we spotted 2 vacant chairs at the bar which we sat on, till someone did come up to us. The person who did was so rude, did not even greet or ask anything and told us that the restaurant is full and we need to vacate! He literally asked us to leave in a very demeaning manner.. The only reason that could validate this behaviour that we are of visible minority and the host who spoke to us was RACIST!!! Never plan on visiting this place ever again! So so unfortunate to experience this in a diverse environment..
