This place is a hidden gem!…read more We had a burst of energy one night and went out for a long walk. On our way home, we stopped in German Doner Kebab (GDK)... what a great stop. We ordered a Kebab Sandwich and some poutine for my son. The poutine had chicken and gravy and melted cheese curds, he said it was mid compared to other poutine he has had. The sandwich was awesome. It made my "best food of 2024" list. The sandwich was doner meat, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, red cabbage and three sauces on toasted waffle bread. It was so good. Service was just fine... no complaints. While we were there, GDK really got busy... but the place was clean and not overly loud. We will be back, for sure!

Got the dine in deal (original with fries & a drink), with beef & upgrading to flaming fries. The bread was light & crisp. They don't have veal but the beef was shaved thin with a slight crisp & pretty tasty though it could be moister. It was pretty tasty. Yogurt sauce was decent. Spicy sauce was good but pretty spicy. Flaming fries were fresh, hot, crispy & pleasantly spicy

We came on a Sunday night, so it wasn't too busy and there was plenty of space. The ordering setup is pretty straightforward. You order food at the counter and drinks separately at the bar. We tried the duck sausage as a currywurst, and it was fantastic. You can also get it on a bun, but I really enjoyed it currywurst style. We also ordered both the dirty duck fries and the duck fat fries. If you're deciding between the two, I'd go with the duck fat fries. They were simple but so good. We shared the pickled vegetable platter with radish, sauerkraut, and beets. I wished the radish had a little more crunch, but the sauerkraut was really tasty. The beets were good, though they didn't taste especially pickled to me. The drinks were great too. They have a huge beer selection, but I ended up getting a couple of ciders that honestly tasted more like wine, which I loved. Fun atmosphere, good food, and a great spot for larger groups.

I saw a lovely lunch special sidewalk sign and thought it was for them, but it was actually for the restaurant next door! However, I was already committed, and I always loved pubbing. Opened in early 2011, it was named after the historical role of town criers who served as the primary news source in medieval times. With the general theme of Belgian and German styles, its owners believed that European beers and news were linked. Would I be crying in my beer at this pub for entering the incorrect eatery in this town!? PURCHASE(S) Hacker-Pschorr Munich Gold Lager Beer 5.5% ABV 20floz Draft ($11.50CAD): Golden amber color, aromatic malty aroma, low body, malty sweet flavor, clean smooth finish, and malty aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=Oks3ELRLtUfkwpMwMfZ7YQ Town Crier Burger + Add Cheese ($17.00CAD + $2.00CAD): A simple burger made with prime rib beef patty, lettuce, pickle, red onion, and tomato on a lightly-grilled bun with an added slice of cheddar cheese, it was a sizable burger and did the job, but there wasn't anything special about it. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=XV6Yy6lwP5yngWkIFicroA [ONION RINGS/STRAWS/STRINGS ALERT - 3.5 of 5.0 STARS] Substitute Onion Rings ($3.00CAD): A good side portion with many rings of generally uniform size, these were hot, lightly golden browned, semi-crunchy, and had a tendency to crumble when bitten into while the onion ring (not sweet Maui) pulled out at times. Although they were somewhat oily, they were good, and didn't come with any dipping sauce. Innis & Gunn Mangoes On The Run Fruited IPA Beer 5.0% ABV 20floz Draft ($11.00CAD): Dark strawberry color, fruity mango tropical aroma, low body, fruity hoppy mango sweet flavor, smooth finish, and slight bitter fruity mango tropical aftertaste. This was my favorite of the two for obvious reasons! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=_MZhEukjAcdC0Qfo4P2Kaw SERVICE I was happily greeted by a young host outside on the sidewalk who then directed me to a nice outdoor patio table perfect for people watching and the weather. He handed me a massive menu, supplied a glass of water, and soon enough I placed my order. My beers arrived quickly while the food took about ten minutes. He checked in often while we chatted throughout the time. It was a cool hang out for lunch - danke! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance): I was in the area all day for the start of the Toronto International Film Festival, so I simply walked. Otherwise, there were spots along the main drag of John St. and all surrounding streets, some nearby structures, numerous public transportation options, and rideshares - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A cozy snug layout throughout, inside had a loungey warm feeling with a focal bar with a few stools https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=LZIKI_6GFVgLIPXXkbrICA and many closed-in tables; whereas, the outside patio was less formal but equally compact. Inside was very ornate of Belgian and German styles, while outside was casual and simple. Minimal natural lighting entered inside through the few windows and door opening and of course plenty outside while dim electric ceiling and table lights filled in both areas. There were no TVs nor any background music because chatter was everywhere. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=bYpvTBTNnDqaLvrEqNtYtA ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Town Crier Pub had me laughing, talking, and people watching for a relaxing afternoon and would gladly return. The number of beers available both on tap and in bottles was insane and I loved it! The food menu was expansive. The food was fine but nothing special, and the prices were relatively comparable. But, it was the service and staff that literally reeled me in for a good time. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $50.00CAD BEFORE any discounts/tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

Our reservation was at 6P. We left at 5P. It took us 35 minutes. Great meal. Started with the goulash. The beef had been pounded and was small and tender like the potatoes and carrots. I opted for minor spicy. It was served very hot and was perfect. We've had goulash at Grundel in Hungary, and this was comparable. We both had the pork wienerschnitzel, which came with fried potatoes and a smidge of red cabbage. The pork was divine. We've had wienerschnitzel across Central Europe, and this one was perfection. The sprinkle of dill added a nice mild tang (great touch). The portion of pork was not huge, but you get plenty of taters. My lovely had the apple strudel for dessert. I had the crepe stuffed with jam. Both were incredible. I paired mine with the Viennese coffee, which could have been served a bit hotter. It was tasty, though. I also had the berry spritzer and a shot of apricot brandy. The first was refreshing; the second didn't taste very apricoty. Parking is immediately in front of this gem. Wonderful meal expertly prepared. A bit pricey, but worth every penny. Highly recommend.

It was such a nostalgic feeling walking back into this restaurant. Not a thing has changed and I liked that We were served by multiple waitresses and all of them were super sweet and kind. It really felt like you were in a small town community. They are known for their ham hock but it was super hot out today so we decided to go with the rib and pigtail combo. Super delicious and the meat falls off the bone. We also got some wings for their Thursday wing deal. $1.75 per wing. The garlic dill seasoning was a very pleasant surprise. Now as someone who is Asian and not German... it's a bit odd to see a lot of Asian people coming into this restaurant. But this place has been talked about and recommended by all of my Asian peers since I was a child. Which I think is quite impressive and speaks for the food itself. Because if you know a lot of older Asian parents, they can be quite picky when it comes to non-Asian food.

It took over 15 minutes before our server came around with water. She apologized because she had her tables but they gave her ours at last minute. She was sweet but definitely overwhelmed. It took another 20 minutes for our beverages. Again she kindly apologized. Our food took 25 minutes before the first one of us was served. When she was done with dinner, four more in our group got their dinners. Wisely they started eating . 20 more minutes later the rest of the group got their dinner...... the entire dinner was chaos. PS the food was not hot! We decided not to order dessert because it could be another hour. The server we don't believe was the issue. We made sure she was tipped well. Out of our group of nine, we agreed.... NEVER AGAIN. And we were so disappointed. On an upside note... the music was fantastic! Whoever manages this restaurant needs to go to Johnson and Wales for refresher classes.
