Staff at the counter were incredibly rude but the care taker was nice and pointed me towards to cutlery. Overall, the food was great but the service was mostly unfriendly. read more

Lovely gem in the airport past security. I was really beginning to hate my life and regret not picking up Wendy's before I went through security when I happened upon this gem. I'm extremely glad I found this place as there doesn't appear to be much available food wise at the airport apart from fast food options like Starbucks. There is booster juice as well but let's be honest that's not a full sit down meal. . I was about to give you and go to Starbucks when I found this place. It's after security near C30 and in addition to all day breakfast serves surprisingly good sandwiches. I settled on the crispy sandwich which came topped with coleslaw and Russian dressing on a tasty and fresh brioche bun. It came served with fries and dripping in pickles and their juices (despite me requesting no pickles). The chicken was an extremely crispy and well seasoned and did its name justice. The fries were nothing to write home about and a bit greasy and room temperature unfortunately. The portion was also extremely tiny. Service was good with my server making suggestions that he thought were better value for money. My dish came in at $23 for example and there was a two piece southern fried chicken meal with veggies option available for $25 so he made this suggestion. I didn't waver though because I'm a huge fan of brioche and I was really happy with my sandwich choice. I almost ordered a second sandwich just for the brioche bun but I couldn't justify paying almost $50 for an average airport meal. This place is off near the c30+ gates and is a nice little oasis with tables set up in 2 and 4 toppers. You also have the option of sitting in the bar or grabbing something to go from the deli counter. I chose to sit and eat alone (as I'm traveling by myself) but this was in no way uncomfortable since I got to enjoy lovely views of planes pulling in and out of the gate out the large window on the far side of the restaurant. Not a bad way to start my trip. Glad I found this place. I'd try it again if I am at the airport and haven't had time to eat before getting here. read more

Caplansky's Delicatessen - Menu - Delis Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Really expensive. Small portions. Excellent service. Toronto airport sucks. The dining options are extremely disappointing. But this place is decent. Service was great. Seating was comfortable spacious and clean. Which is sooooo important in the airport. The food was a miss. I honestly was expecting better but my sandwich was cold and it was extremely tiny. The fries filled me up. But that's not what u cone here for. A meal for 1 is $34 which is kinda insane but that's how most airports are. I might come back if I'm in a bind. But for the price it's definitely not worth it bc the flavour is lacking in the food. It is nothing at all like the actual restaurant. read more

This ex-chain has seen better days - they used to have outlets elsewhere, but now they're only in the airport, in the passenger-only area, so you need to fly to get a taste of them. They get 3.5 stars. The Reubenesque sandwich was pretty tasty. The smoked meat was pretty good. The Russian sauce was good, though sparse. The fries were decent, though not really fresh. Smoked meat hash was so so. It was kinda mushy & the smoked meat taste was faint. The mustard was pretty good: there're 3 for you to choose from. read more

Caplansky's Delicatessen - a pint of beer - Delis Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Delicious food in THE AIRPORT? I know, I can't believe it either. But this might be some of the best food served in YYZ that I've ever had (ok not counting the Maple Leaf lounge, but that's not really an affordable option). Though to be fair, I've never been to the OG Caplansky's. This could totally be a shadow of its original self, but having said that, it's a pretty tasty shadow. At 5AM in Terminal 3, your options are pretty limited so thank god it's Caplansky's that decided to fill in that early morning breakfast gap. If you're in the mood for a breakfast you can eat with a fork (not a sandwich, not a salad), you've really only got 2 choices: their classic breakfast and the hash. We got both of them and what can I say? They both exceeded my expectations exceptionally. The eggs, perfectly sunny. The potato latkes, super crispy. The beef bacon, might like this more than regular bacon with that special seasoning they got on it. The area mimicked an old school diner with plenty of seating. Though we were the first to grab a table, it filled up soon after. Service was quick and water was always filled. I gotta say I'm impressed. We all know airport food is usually meh at best. Even if it wasn't 5AM, I'd probably come back to Caplansky's. Terminal 3's got a good one. read more

We were in the airport searching for a solid food location with kids and this was it! They had a highchair (ideal need with babies) and wonderfully friendly staff. It truly feels like a family environment. The food was more breakfast oriented and it seems they are famous for their mustard (all good in my books!). Overall a great experience and everyone was super kind to us. read more

If there's one thing at the airport I hate doing, is buying food or drinks because they're generally marked up 1000%. Well, we were at the airport and totally forgot to bring out packed lunches for the flight and had no choice but to buy something for the flight or starve for lunch. So we caved and went with caplansky's turkey sandwich with fries. The turkey sandwich was actually really good. The meat was hot and fresh, the bread was soft but held up. The lettuce and tomatoes were fresh and adequate in portion. The fries were good fresh but once they started to cool down, not so good - but that's like most fries. Price: As per airport standards, through the roof at 19$ before tax. Not bad relatively speaking but as mentioned before, airport food is so overpriced. read more

Holy smokes, that was the BEST turkey sandwich I have ever had! The meat is so flavourful and light, and it's a perfect contrast with the crisp bread. I didn't expect such a great dining experience in terminal 3! read more

Probably a city '3', but an airport '4'. We had a fairly early flight so I scoped out in advance what was available in terminal 3 as I haven't used it in ages. After looking at the menu, it was a done deal and the first place my family and I would head to after we passed security. It was a bit irritating that the online menu was old, so some items were gone and naturally prices went up. The place was jammed packed, so as unfortunate is at is for the owner to have to close his location in Toronto, if business is typically like this, he still found his way with this location. We managed to get some seats that were technically in the takeout area (which is good for people to know that there is a separate takeout counter). I got the corned beef hash - which I'd love anytime - but especially happy to have with a Jewish deli. My wife ordered am omelette, my daughter got a kids special with an egg, a latka, apple sauce, toast and beef bacon, and my son got grilled cheese with corned beef. I quite liked my corned beef hash - though it had clearly been plated a couple minutes before arriving at the table. My kids both enjoyed theirs. I found the price for my daughter's to be a bit steep, but the grilled cheese with the added corned beef for my son was good value since they really piled on the meat. That meant some for me! My wife's omelette was extremely poor. Missing an ingredient that was on the online menu, but even lacking it quantity what it was supposed to have. It was basically fried egg with a few bell pepper pieces if remember correctly but charged at a price as though it were a stacked omelette. Again, if I was served the same thing at the same price in the city, I wouldn't necessarily have it stand out in my mind. By as for an airport goes, I quite enjoyed mine (my wife can't say the same) and better than most other breakfast experiences I've had elsewhere. read more

We stopped by here when we were flying out of Pearson terminal 3 and it was ok. The Service: The service was really slow. It took 30 minutes to get our food and it was really difficult to get our waitresses attention to ask for tea, coffee and our bill. It also took her over ten minutes to come to our table to take our order. In an environment where everyone is trying to catch a flight service should be faster. THE FOOD: The food was ok. I ordered the omelette and my boyfriend ordered the bagel with cream cheese and lox. Bagel with lox and cream cheese: My boyfriend said the bagel with lox and cream cheese was good but it wasn't filling enough for brunch. The Omelette: The omelette was good but since I'm gluten and lactose intolerant, it was pretty bland. They wouldn't offer me a substitute for no cheese. I found this cheap on their end. The omelette came with toast, apple sauce and latkes. The toast was served with butter when it should have been brought plain due to my lactose intolerance, which I told the waitress about. I tried to get her attention so she could bring me new bread but my attempt to flag her down was completely hopeless. She didn't look at me once. The latkes were over fried, burnt and way too oily. They were actually pretty disgusting. I didn't finish eating these and the apple sauce was ok. The waitress didn't give me a spoon so after trying to flag her down for 10 minutes I went to the takeout part of the restaurant to get a takeout spoon. Would I Return? No but if there aren't better options in the terminal I might have to. read more

Had a few hours to kill before our flight and we were pretty hungry as it was around 5:00 am, so we decided to try this place out. Upon arrival, we were greeted and seated pretty quickly. The restaurant wasn't super busy, but there were quite a few tables that were full. Our waitress was pretty friendly, however she hardly checked up on us! We had to look around for her pretty often. My boyfriend and I both ordered The Classic. This restaurant definitely did not have many options to choose from which was kind of a bummer. The meal was okay, it wasn't amazing nor was it bad. The portions were really good though, and the food was well-made. All in all, it was an okay experience. read more

Caplansky's Delicatessen - The Classic - Delis Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Dried smoke meat under the warming lights too long. We always come here hoping for a decent meal and leave dissatisfied.

Needed some food before heading to our flight and we had some time to kill. I have to say Terminal 3 has really upped their game. We decided to chow down at Caplansky's - it's been on my list and wanted to compare it to Katz in New York. That was my mistake, you can't really compare any Deli to Katz. I ordered the Beef Brisket sandwich with fried onions and cheese plus a matzo ball soup. I didn't like the soup, it had zero flavour. The sandwich was pretty good, meat was soft and tender and had a good amount of flavour. My cousins sandwich looked really good and she enjoyed it. My only complaint was it took about 20 minutes for us to get our bill, but overall service was fast initially. Keep Eating, Angela read more

Morning flight boarding time 8:30. Entrance says seat yourself except all the tables aren't cleared so you make your own space. It's an airport so we assume getting our order in by 7:30 should give us plenty of time. Flagged down the server to get in our order. Short staffed or disorganized I can't tell which as some are running around like chickens with their heads cut off and others are moving like they're taking a leisurely stroll through a park. It took 40 minutes to cook eggs, latkes, and toast. FORTY MINUTES. Food was fine when it finally arrived. Had to ask for cutlery. Food is a 3.5 and service is 1. read more

Very slow service - and for some reason the don't have straws anymore. As a policy, some genius decided they don't need to carry straws. I hate drinking from a glass, it's annoying enough already that I have to ask for a straw specifically when eating outside but now with this new trend of no straws at all anymore this is just beyond ridiculous! I will be taking my business elsewhere from now one. Never coming back to this place. And I'm making it a rule from now on to ask before I order if the place have straws. Had enough of this BS. read more

Admittedly, before last week, I had never eaten anything from any location of this famed Toronto Delicatessen. I have my spots for authentic deli cuisine and was all set. After being disappointed with my smoked meat sandwich at their departure location in Terminal 1 when my flight was cancelled I was a little hesitant when our dinner options were limited to Tim Hortons and the full 'sit-down' Caplansky's in T3 of Pearson. I've always said that I'm about second chances and for the most part that's true (save for a few abominations that shall remain nameless), but I gotta tell you, in this instance I'm glad I was forced to give CD's another whirl. Having some time to kill before our flight we decided to get some food and drink and I agonized about what to have knowing I didn't want another smoked meat sandwich. I noticed a small "YGEH" next to a few menu items and asked what the 'buzz wuz' on these. Our server informed me that those items were the ones featured on "You Gotta Eat Here". Well then - that's a different story! After looking over my options I handily went with the homemade meat loaf option paired with mash and veggies. Good old fashioned comfort food that sticks to your ribs and makes you sleepy for a flight. The veggies were nothing special, just a steamed assortment it seemed, similar to what my fiancee received in her veggie sandwich - not exactly original. The mashed taters were light and nicely whipped but spuds all the same. The meatloaf was the real winner here IMO. Soft and moist, not even a little bit dry, meaty (obviously), well seasoned, and a MASSIVE portion, I was stuffed by the end, and nicely topped with a sweet tomato sauce - definitely NOT ketchup! Definitely a much better experience vs the take away option in T1 of the airport. I'd definitely eat here again! Eatcrest Out! read more

Right near our gate at the airport beside Starbucks in terminal 3?and they have tables and chairs. I only wanted scrambled eggs to go so I could sit at the gate with my group. They happily made it for me and charged $2 per egg ....so $4 plus tax for 2 eggs scrambled. The wait was not too long. read more

The epitome of airport price gouging, Caplansky's offers a limited, but interesting menu. I had the smoked meat hash for $14. Four small pieces of toast, two cubes of cantaloupe, four slices of mandarin oranges, two eggs and a salty mishmash of smoked meat and potatoes later, I'm left thirsty and unsatisfied, but not surprised. To start off with the good, the eggs (over easy) were cooked perfectly. The toast was also nicely toasted and buttered. The smoked meat hash was very salty, which really took away from its taste - salt isn't supposed to be a flavour! The quantity was adequate. The non-alcoholic drinks are very pricey. $5 for water and $4 for soft drinks is what you can expect there. Do yourself a favour and go to the Starbucks to the right of the restaurant if you want to spend that much money on a drink. The service was unmemorable. I asked for hot sauce once I got my food and I was given an unopened bottle of Tabasco. The cashier just stood and watched me while I had to tear the plastic wrap off the bottle's lid. I much prefer the Molson Pub in Terminal 1, which offers a similar breakfast dish with a lot less salt, crispy potatoes on the side and jam for the toast. The price is also a few dollars cheaper. Unfortunately, there's no way to eat at a different terminal! read more

Oh Gluten free... I had heard so much from my Toronto celiac friends... alas, today was not going to be the day. The location in Terminal 3 was on my radar since I started planning my vacation, and we had a stop-over! Wandering to our gate, we found the restaurant, and it was open for early breakfast! Excellent. So, we were seated, and given a menu. I wanted to ask about the Gluten Free options... our server was helpful, but needed to check with the manager, who informed us that there was no gluten free. Eggs and beef bacon was all I could have. :( Sad face. Our flight back to YYZ put us back on the other side of customs and security in Terminal 3, so we cleared security again, and thought we'd seek out our gate since we had a lot of time to kill, and then if we couldn't find food close to the gate, come back. Alas, we found food after a massive trek to the single-digit B gates that are NOWHERE near Caplansky's so we didn't make it back. Next time Toronto! read more

This restaurant May be a little overhyped, but the food is pretty darn good. We got latkes, pirogies, beef tongue, and a few other meats. The sauces were definitely a nice addition. I'd say not the best delicatessen I've ever been to, but it's worth a visit if you're in the area read more

My partner really wanted to try Caplansky's Deli so on a trip and layover on Toronto Pearson Airport we had a chance to visit one of their locations. It is a big restaurant with a very deli style feel to it of course. Lots of tables and you can watch them prepare your food, and you have great views of the runway too. My celiac partner check with the kitchen and all they had available for her were eggs and beef bacon. She was hoping for moire choices so she was a bit disappointed there. I was just sharing some of her food as I wasn't all that hungry yet and breakfast isn't much my thing unless it's fruit or a smoothie. Great place. Lots of great food choices. Not sure how well it can cater to some diets and allergies though. read more

If you are looking for good food and reasonable service then Caplansky's in NOT the place. 20 minute wait to place your order. 10 minutes to get your order. 25 minutes to pay.

Four stars considering it's located in an airport. Yes the prices are higher, the service a bit off and the atmosphere is a little bland, but everything was decent considering what this terminal and most airports offer for dining options. Tried the meatloaf, it was alright, came with nice sautéed seasonal veg and fries that were nothing special. Also tried the matzo ball soup and borscht, go with the borscht not your typical Russian or Ukrainian style but pretty good. Also tried the Rubenesque Rueben sandwich and it was good. My recommendation would be to stick with soup and sandwich, it all seemed freshly prepared and of slightly better quality than your typical airport fare. Before boarding your next flight be sure to try a pint of their house tap which comes with a pickle on it. They also have a take out counter, you would be the envy of your flight if you unwrapped one of their sandwiches at 35,000 feet. read more

For all of you that are familiar with the deli sandwich market you will know that Caplansky's is quite the popular name in the industry. Its been around for a long time. The owner is quite popular and quite often on the food network. Never had one near me so never went out of my way to try it. Recently I was travelling from Pearson and right next to our gate was Caplansky's. Hungry or not i had to try it. Then again hem am i not hungry lol. Of course i ordered the smoked meat sandwich with fries. The sandwich was a bit small for the price but very tasty. Bread was super fresh, meat was nice and warm, Swiss cheese was melted perfect. The fries were hand cut, crispy and perfectly salted. I give it 3 starts for the fact that it was over priced for the portion. I would not avoid this place though. When i'm around again you will find me having another smoked sandwich. read more

Not a good start. We were told to take up a table that was just freed up, but not cleared. Then we waited and waited and waited....when I asked a server to help us (since there was no menu at the table either), she said, "I'm busy and you sat at a table that was not cleared." When I told her we were told to sat here, at least she changed her tone and came back right away. It's very busy here, so even with three servers they are having a hard time keeping up. Food are alright. The meat are a little overcooked, but seasoning is on point. read more

Not a lot to add to what others said about pricing or food, it is in an airport after all. We had a short layover at the airport and Caplansky's was next to our gate. The smell of it as we walked by was enough to get our attention and get us in the door. There is a seating area and a takeaway/ordering area, but I think both sections are still self serve. You order your sandwich and pay, then are given a number which is called out when your order is ready. We chose to split a turkey sandwich, the meat on these babies is generous and splitting it was probably the smart way to go to avoid subsequent meatmares on the last leg of our journey. After ordering, the waiting area for orders is a bit chaotic and there seemed to be some confusion to customers as to where to find their order numbers on their receipts or some not even having their receipt anymore. Pro tip: keep your receipt until you have your food. All in all, the food came out fast, it was a generous portion and the bread was toasted just right - not to much to cut up your mouth. If the lines not to long, this is a good choice to grab and go. read more

I feel like I've been lied to with the Caplansky's name attached to this 'restaurant' in Terminal 3. I arrived way too early for a 7 am flight and after dealing with security, I was desperate for food and coffee. I wasn't as familiar with T3 as most the time I fly out of T1. The name Caplansky's is the first restaurant in the hallway as I walk towards my gate and I figure it couldn't be that far off from the real deal. WRONG. I'm not even sure how to describe adequately my experience without being very negative. If the food was remotely close to the Toronto restaurant, I'd be willing to overlook the service blunders but I just... can't. We ordered a simple egg breakfast. The first issue was the wait staff wouldn't look anyone in the eye or acknowledge the order. We had no clue if he heard us at all. The 2nd issue was that the person at the cashier had a lot of problems with the till and basic math. I'm not sure if he was missing a coffee to jump start the thinking process but it was so painful to correct him that I didn't get the right change to make $5. He insisted that 1 toonie and 2 loonie is $5. The food was just as bad as my memories of liquid eggs in high school breakfast. It was rubbery and tasteless... it also cost me the same amount as 2 breakfasts at a Tim Hortens. Next time I'm in T3, I'm just heading 5 minutes further towards the end of the hallway where they have the new restaurants opened up. They dont have a branding like Caplansky's but they at least look like they're serving real food. read more

We LOVE caplanskys on college st, we go all the time and never have anything but amazing things to say about it. So you have to understand our excitement and expectations when we saw it in the airport! Total let down. I'm not sure if they were understaffed or if the staff just didn't give a shit - although I feel it's the latter. We were sat at the bar and waited 15 minutes to be greeted, after my husband had to ask a server if anyone was assigned to the bar. Another 15 minutes later and my husbands pop got to him.... I was handed an empty coffee mug as my tea with nothing to accompany it. Ordered our food and watched two groups of 4 sit at the bar as well, one of which left after waiting 20 minutes to be talked to. My food was okay I guess, cold, but edible. My husbands on the other hand, looked like cat food and tasted worse. We left to look for something for him to eat after still having to pay for his meal. Watched a woman seated at a table behind us get her own coffee and get scolded by a server because "that's dangerous and she could have killed herself" meanwhile the girl tried to explain that she had asked for a coffee 30 minutes ago and had already eaten her food without it. Pretty sad and not the impression that caplanskys deserves as their downtown location is so great. read more
