Food is garbage I'm sorry I mean no disrespect but the fries are wack jerk sandwich back and the Mac n cheese boring asf with these lil onions on it

Zaakirah K.

Update: went back Aug 2023, and unfortunately I found the fries to be overcooked (extra crispy, as if it was refried). the burger bun was burned at the top a bit. The order took a long time to arrive and the food itself was underwhelming. The fries portion took 3/4 of my plate with the burger in a corner. The rice and jerk chicken were good though. No A/C inside, so we had to sit outside as it was very hot inside the restaurant. Never been here for dine-in as we usually get takeout, but the dine-in experience is a gamechanger! Why, you ask? The food tastes just as good and the staff is very friendly as well. Nothing beats eating hot food soon as it's served. The menu is extensive and has quite a lot of options to choose from. It's also nice to see that there is an option for chicken offered. The portions are also very generous and can easily be shared with one more person or more (depending on how much you eat). The cowboy sandwich (as recommended by our server) was very filling and delicious. I also enjoyed the k-pop fries a lot (the kimchi wasn't too spicy and worked so well). Lastly, the highlight had to be the smoked triple A beef back ribs. They were so well flavored, tasty and the meat was tender. It melts in your mouth and was so soft/easy to cut. The rice and sauce work so well together too and I loved this dish the most.

Chainsmoker is a BBQ restaurant which is also halal - that's a huge plus since I have a friend who has dietary restrictions. The restaurant itself is a fast-casual vibe, so don't expect things like tap water lol. I thought the food was really good and portions were huge. I had the burger where the meat was seasoned very nicely and the quality of ingredients were very fresh. The aioli they had was very unique. Staff was very nice as well! I'll definitely be back.

Spent close to $50 for one order of beef ribs and Mac. It was 80% fat on 2 bones. See pic. Mac and cheese was tasteless and undercooked noodles. I had to add salt and garlic powder to make it somewhat edible. This is a new location on Lawrence Ave East. They do none of the cooking there apparently. When asked about a few smoking things like what type of smoker, they had no clue. Won't be back unless they start putting meat on dem bones. Beef Back Ribs

When I first saw the name, Chainsmoker, on my Ritual app, all I could think about was The Chainsmokers. I had that song with Coldplay in my head as I continued scrolling through the menu items. It has taken me what feels like forever to order from this place. Chainsmoker is five minutes away from my workplace, but I work from home these days. Roughly two Saturdays ago, I was in the neighbourhood and decided to order takeout from the place. I ordered the following: - Beef brisket, with house coleslaw, a dill pickle, and mixed greens (fries are the other option) - Cajun hush puppies - Barq's cream soda My order was expected to take twenty minutes. I added an extra five minutes before I got there. Chainsmoker is in the same plaza as DriveTest and a bunch of eateries. On a Saturday, folks were in line at the former. I don't know whether they were doing the actual driving test or a written one. It can get crazy at this plaza with nervous drivers and hungry people during the weekday. However, it felt much more relaxed on a Saturday. I had no problem finding a parking spot. I took the closest parking spot to the main entrance. There is patio seating. What's interesting is that this plaza is considered to be Toronto. When you look across the street, the north side of Eglinton Avenue West is Mississauga. I walked in and there are health safety measures in place. The flow is one-way inside a rather small eatery. I got to the counter and said that I had a Ritual order. One of the women said that they needed five more minutes. Cool. I waited patiently while taking photos. One of the women in the kitchen looked at what I was doing. She finally stopped. My order was nicely packed. The woman who spoke to me earlier advised that they had run out of Barq's cream soda. Bummer! Instead, I asked about the Barbican bottles. She said that they are popular carbonated drinks from the Middle East. Sold! I eyed the raspberry one and got it. I thanked the now two women at the counter who said to enjoy my meal. I happily headed over to my car and drove home. All barbeque here is halal. In other words, you are not going to find pork on the menu. It's seems odd considering that traditional barbeque always includes pork. However, it works. The first time I had hush puppies was in Charlotte. They were delicious. I had to get the cajun ones here. They are deep-fried corn dumplings with smoked mozzarella cheese, and green onions. They were bigger than I had expected. It had corn kernels in them, which this corn fan was thrilled with. They came with a mustard mayo sauce. It all worked nicely. I think that they'd be better smaller and more crispy, but were pretty good. The benchmark is still the ones that I had in Charlotte. I then went into the beef brisket. It was tender, smokey, and yummy. I didn't need a knife to slice through it. My plastic fork (yes, plastic) did the cutting and it was effortless. It was perfect. I got barbeque sauce on the side, which complemented the brisket nicely. I loved the coleslaw. The cabbage and veggies were super crispy. The dressing was creamy and done well. I got mixed greens with some tangy dressing on the side. I am guessing that it was a peach dressing, but it was tough to figure out, as the flavour was subtle. It was good, but I wanted more boldness in flavour. The mixed greens were so fresh. The raspberry Barbican drink was delightful. It wasn't overly sweet or carbonated. It tasted like carbonated raspberry beverages that I have been making on a Sodastream, but far more professional! I enjoyed this new find and want to try the other flavours that are available. I saw chicken wings on the menu. I want to get those the next time I'm here. There's also a barbequed chicken po'boy that has piqued my interest. It's nice getting a bit of southern food that is also halal. It's an interesting combination. I like it. Mac and cheese needs to be on the menu, though! (401)

Fried chicken burger
Maddy B.

I'd almost given up searching for good halal Texas style barbecue... And chainsmoker was the answer to my prayers. From the rustic outlook to the smoky barbecue smell the moment you walked inside, you knew this is going to be good. We reserved a table as it was my mother in law's birthday and the whole experience was nothing less than perfect. Our waitress was super friendly and gave us recommendations on what to eat, especially as some of my family hadn't tasted good barbecue before, and this really helped. Upon receiving our paper plates and disposable cutlery , my hubby and I looked at each other knowing that we'd chosen the best place for a sticky, smoky and oozing with deliciousness barbecue. And it definitely met up to the expectations. Our ribs were falling off the bone and packed with flavour , the brisket was tender and melt in the mouth, the chicken burger was juicy and the jerk fries had the perfect kick. I can't get over how good this place was for a meat lover like me. And to top it all off, one of the staff came to have a chat with us, and even gave my mother in law one of the best mango kulfis I've ever tasted as a birthday treat! The food, the ambiance, the service ... Everything here was incredible! 10/10! Thank you!

AAA beef brisket with fries side. Hush puppies. Coleslaw.
John D.

Takeout only. 50% off entire menu until 07/31/2020 excluding drinks. There's a list upon entry for date, name, and time for contact tracing purposes. They do not have the impossible burger anymore due to extremely low sales. Shame. Left with the AAA beef brisket ($18) - came with rice or twice cooked crispy fries or mixed greens. Dill pickle and house coleslaw. Five Cajun hush puppies($8). Fried sweet corn dump lies and smoked mozzarella, garnished with green onion and a side of mustard mayo dipping sauce. Creamy coleslaw ($4). Standard coleslaw. Container size was small to be honest. All in all, 50% off makes it worth it. Is it worth full price? Debatable. Still disappointed about the discontinuation of the impossible burger though.

Phenomenal food! "The best brisket I've ever tasted"said several customers (including me) to the chef. This location of Chainsmoker has reopened under new ownership. The decor has a rustic yet cozy feel. 5 tables seat up to 24 people in the entire space. They have a wheelchair accessible washroom, complete with a bidet type hose. We ordered the AAA beef brisket ($24) but they were sold out by 7:30pm on the Saturday of a long weekend. We were able to score a taste of said brisket and I can totally see why it was sold out. It's everything I look for in brisket- flavourful, smoky without being overpowering, and oh so juicy! Thankfully chef Mark was able to churn out another brisket, so we ordered that for takeout. We enjoyed the beef short rib ($22) with a side Caesar salad at the restaurant. You can tell that a lot of care and attention are placed in every detail of the meal, including the fresh pickled cucumbers and the coleslaw with fresh dill and herbs in it. The Caesar salad topped with fried wonton crisps and shaved Parmesan was the perfect lighter complement to the short rib. The short rib was generously portioned, tender and not too fatty and was served with a delicious smoky sweet barbecue sauce. Until February 28, 2022, they are offering 50% off everything except the large platters. We had our fill of food and an order of brisket to enjoy later, all for around $36. You need to eat here!!!

Jerk n'rice
Juan P.

Back again tonight! This time brought my whole family. VERDICT: they all loved it! They all like the softness and juiciness of the brisket and the jerk chicken. The fries to them are AWESOME! The salad for me was plain but that's okay. The Mac and cheese is good too. Maybe less or light on the cheeses creamy sauce. Maybe add some garlic flavour to it, that would be bomb I have the chefs special which was two lamb shanks in the Filipino dish called caldareta. It was really good! The meat fell off the bomb so easily! I can't wait to see their next menu special!

Brisket
Marco F.

Was hungry after being around Centennial Park. Saw this bbq place on Yelp and decided to stop by. This place did not disappoint at all! Firstly, they serve halal barbeque! I got the brisket platter, great tasting barbeque. Smoked to the point that the meat practically melts in your mouth. And for the amount of meat you is quite hefty as well. Had the options for rice, salad or potatoes as side and i went with the salad for a healthier choice. Also got the grilled corn which was good. I mean, you can never really go wrong with a grilled corn right!? Overall, it was one tasty meal. I'd definitely go back.

Brisket, Caesar salad and coleslaw
Josh H.

Had the brisket and was absolutely delicious. Sauce is put onto the side so you can add as much or as little as you want. Coleslaw was one of the best I've ever had with a lot of fresh dill. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Overall, great experience

Burnt, barely there meat.
M O.

Horrible ... horrible....All bone and very little meat... 3 ribs over cook to burnt, what little meat was there was tough. Sad commentary when your rice is better than the "over price"... $43... ribs you sell. First time, last time....can't blame this on COVID...

Before I came here, all of my coworkers were HYPING this place. Curious I went on a Friday! And then promptly walked back to the car because it was THAT busy. I decided to try this place again the next week after on a Monday at lunch, and it was much, much better. So tip: don't come here on a Friday lunch. It's a pretty small area with a few tables to dine in. Usually these are taken by fancy work people so go in with the expectation that you might have to bring your food back to the office and make those coworkers j e a l o u s. Upon entering, there's two areas to wait; one for salads and the other to sandwiches. I ordered the chicken avocado wrap and my boyfriend ordered the seared tuna sandwich (something fancy like that). They come with a salad and/or soup too so you can be EXTRA fancy and pompous when ordering your nice, healthy lunch. For the both of us with drinks, it came up to around $35 (goodbye money) and we got our food pretty quickly. I do have to say that the food is AMAZING! I don't know how they do it but there's legit magic in the food they make. The chicken avocado was great but I would recommended that tender seared tuna if you are feeling boujee enough. So yeah, 10/10 would recommend if you're feeling boujee health nutty, but be wary of coming there on a Friday and the week before you get paid!

California Sandwiches - Monstrous veal sandwich with mushrooms

So I've been to a few California's in my day including the flag ship one downtown and the one the…read moreclosest to me on Warden Ave. But I must say the sandwich I had to was by far one of the best I've ever had in my life!!! Just the right amount of sauce and the cutlets were nice and thick actually seemed thicker then the other California's I mentioned before! I was so tempted to call the store on my way back home and tell them what a amazing sandwich I had but I didn't so this is the next best thing I can do for them. Btw I love the older lookimg sign out front don't change it!!

I have fond memories of eating veal sandwiches. My dad use to get these long veal sandwiches from a…read morefood truck that would stop by his workplace years ago. He brought one home and I devoured it. The bun was soft, the veal was breaded and tender, the marinara sauce was fresh, and it had onions, peppers, and mushrooms that made it the best sandwich. He bought them for me late in my high school and all through my undergraduate years. I moved away. He retired. Veal sandwiches died. Coming back to the GTA, the best veal sandwich I have had is from California Sandwiches. This location is the closest one to my workplace. On Saturday, I had to go into the office and stopped by this location to grab a bite before getting down to work. This location is on Dixie, just north of the 401. You expect tired, hungry truckers around this area on a Saturday. Then, you have folks like me. I wanted a veal sandwich and was hungry. Parking in front of the eatery is limited. I got a spot out of the possible five available. There is also a back entrance where there is more parking. I walked in. There was a woman ahead of me ordering three sandwiches. I already knew what I wanted. This California Sandwiches looks dated from the outside, but is pretty decent inside. I finally got to place my order for a veal sandwich with mushrooms. Technology-wise, the woman took my order down on small pieces of paper. The only modern thing seemed to be the debit machine. Judging by the sign where it said it accepted cash, scribbled in pen underneath was debit. I was armed with both and paid with cash. Everyone there seemed to be Italian. I liked the homey vibe. She asked if I wanted anything else. I got a bottled diet Dr. Pepper. I found out later on that there was San Pellegrino. Oh, well. I'll get that next time. This California Sandwiches is a bit different. You can buy bottles of marinara sauce to take home. Fish and chips are on the menu. If you can fit poutine in your tummy with your sandwich, it's available. Finally, if you feel like pasta, you can get some here. I loved all the choices. It took a bit of time to get my order. There were three orders ahead of mine. Finally, my sandwich was ready. The woman who prepared asked whether I was dining in. I was. No tray. Just the sandwich wrapped in paper was handed to me. I loved all of it! The woman called me sweetie when she handed me my sandwich. It was endearing. I happily sat down and looked forward to chowing down. Why do I love California Sandwiches? The veal is larger than the bun. I opened my sandwich up and felt so happy looking at such beauty. It came with lots of napkins. You need all of them! I took my first bite. I was in heaven. The veal was tender. The breading was perfect. It was light and yummy. I loved the marinara sauce with little chunks of onion. Finally, all those sliced mushrooms got my seal of approval. The yummy bun held everything together. Some have complained that it's expensive to get a sandwich here. With taxes, my sandwich with mushrooms and a bottled drink came up to $14.50. Considering that my sandwich was huge, packed with goodness, and I didn't eat anything until dinner, it's all worth it to me. It does get messy eating this sandwich. After I was done, I washed my hands in the women's washroom. It has two stalls. It was clean. It's dated, but everything works. I'd come back here again for another yummy veal sandwich. It's good reliving good memories while creating new ones. (169)

Tips: - Wednesday ribs have decent deals…read more - The ribs and wings are excellent. - The pavement in the parking lot is uneven, which caused me to land funny and I ended up straining my hip. During a one-on-one meeting with my documentation manager on Tuesday (I am graced with two managers these days), he let me know about this newly opened Chuck's eatery. I was game to try it out. Of note, there are three Chuck's near my workplace. This one is the third-closest one to the office. I came here after work, which is on one of my regular routes getting home, which avoids highway 401. This Chuck's takes over from Mr Greek that was there for eons. I remember going there at least a decade ago. The hotel next door is now Spark by Hilton. It used to be Hotel Carlingview, so both buildings have got facelifts. I had no problem heading northbound on Carlingview and hanging a right into the parking lot. I pulled into a parking spot. When I got out of my car, there was a drop. I realized that the pavement was uneven. I ended up straining my left hip. Luckily, it's a mild strain, but it's such an annoying ailment to have. There should be a sign saying that the pavement is uneven. There wasn't. I can see someone twisting an ankle from it. It's not safe. I walked in. There was a man in front of the Harley. He was about to head out for a smoke, but he was busy talking to the greeter. Once he left, this cheerful woman said hi and led me to a booth in the dining room. It's spacious. I forgot how large this place is. My server was Ananya. She was friendly and competent. I'd say that she's curious about the world, but is a diamond in the rough that will become that shiny gem in due time. I am such a regular that I knew that it was Wednesday ribs day with specials. My manager asked if I was going to dine here. I said yes and I was getting the ribs and wings combo. Ananya let me know about the wing specials. I went with my combo. I was trying to locate the wing sauces on the menu. My server ended up going into the kitchen to fetch a tablet with the sauces. She was quite the tour de force, which I appreciated! I eventually found it on the menu and went with honey garlic. I upgraded my fries to mashed potatoes with gravy for $3. I wanted something comforting. Some folks may have found my server too chatty. I didn't mind it, likely because I find folks interesting. She asked me where I "was from." If you know me fairly well, I don't do well with vagueness. Where I'm from as in where I live? My heritage? My planet's homebase? I asked her to clarify. She thought that I was Filipino. It wasn't a horrible guess, but I let her know that I was Chinese. She then asked about foods that I liked. She was curious about food from various cultures and was interested in trying some out. I suggested hot pot with friends. She had mentioned trying food out with friends and hot pot would be great, especially with all the proteins, veggies, desserts, soup bases, and sauces available. She was super attentive. I ordered a Diet Coke and she made sure that I never ran out of it. My drink was fizzy, cold, and hit the spot. She did ask me whether I wanted ice. I sure did! She let me know that my food was coming out soon. Moments later, I got one plate with my ribs, wings, and mashed potatoes. A separate bowl with my gravy accompanied it. I asked for extra napkins. I got lots! It turns out that I only needed two napkins to get through this meal. The ribs were fall-of-the-bone delicious. I love Chuck's barbeque sauce. It's smokey, flavourful, and yummy. I loved the honey garlic wings. Each wing had the perfect crunch and was coated with honey garlic goodness. Each wing was meaty and enjoyable to eat. The mashed potatoes and gravy were excellent. The gravy was generous that I drenched my mashed potatoes with it. So good! Another female staffer came over to clear my plate and bowl away. Staff are extremely attentive here. Sam, the manager, came over to ask how things were going. I let him know that the food was great and I loved watching the Pirates baseball game on one of the screens. I asked him how long this eatery has been open for. He let me know that it has been a month now. Nice! Aranya brought me the payment machine. I let her know that she was great, which made her smile. I tipped and tapped. Done! I headed to the women's washroom, which was in the corner by the bar. It had a few stalls. The one that I used was clean, but the shell that would have protected the massive roll of toilet paper came undone. The shell looked like a shelf! It's a decent Chuck's. The property owners (not sure if it's the hotel or Chuck's) does need to look into the uneven pavement. It's so difficult to notice until you trip or you come down on it awkwardly. (351)

Finally! Jimmy Johns is in Ontario, and it's in my neighborhood, too sweet!…read more My first exposure to Jimmy Johns was when i got sent to Minneapolis St Paul (USA) and Jimmy Johns was across the street from my hotel. Came here on a super rainy day and was instantly annoyed with the layout of the restaurant in comparison to the parking lot, I feel like them retrofitting into this space, really didn't do them any favors, when I trekked through grass and mud to get to the door, I realized I parked on the wrong side of the building, even worse as you only have a walk way for one side? We finally got into the restaurant, and out of the rain and instantly the smell brought me back to both visits at MSP. a lot has changed in my diet where 80% of the menu I can't enjoy anymore. they also offer a toasted subs now, and I got one of the few items that wasn't available for this option, of course! Service was great, order was placed and we were in and out in ten minutes or so. The bread is absolutely killer, took me back to seven years ago, in MSP crazy good flavor and freshness for a throw back The parking lot is a huge negative for this spot, and warrants me not making this a five/five situation. being across from the mall, plus Home Depot/Wal-Mart and a bunch of smaller stores and restaurants in the mix, to get in and out of this section is nuts, and much like this super rainy night, not a lot of dedicated parking for Jimmy Johns Definitely an experience everyone should try, wish it was in the mall instead will be back!
