It was also the special at Mackenzie Pub in Ajax, every Friday - only $12.95. This was a reunion of sorts with friends from high school so having a drink with them was appropriate. A shot of Appleton Rum with Coke was my drink of choice. Service for our group was very good, not always the case at some places I've been to. No orders got mixed up, used plates and glassware were cleared efficiently. Good service, good food, very reasonable prices. What else could we wish for?

This is a very spacious bar with tons of tvs for sports watching and a great big patio in the back. I had the buffalo wrap with an upgraded poutine and salad - no complaints! Everything was good!

At first we thought it was perhaps due to our large party (10-12 ppl), but then perhaps our server just forgot to submit part of our order or the kitchen missed it etc. If it wasn't for the after 9pm appetizer special and their wings, I would probably never return. Please be forewarned of the inconsistent service and possible long wait for food etc. Hope there will be some improvement sooner than later!

This, combined with the uncomfortable hard wooden chairs, make it an OK place for me, but not one of my favourites.

Overall bad experience. On a Wednesday night, there weren't many people, but our meal which…read moreconsisted of 2 entrees and 1 app took 35 mins to get to the table. Then when we received our food, there was barely a handful of fries with one of the entrees. I'd have to say 11 french fries in total. Then for my entrée, which was a salad, it was absolutely drowning in salad dressing. It was basically a soup. To make matters worse, the spinach clearly wasn't fresh and was shriveling up. Portion was also very small. These two entrees, one app, and 2 beers came to 70$. Service from the waitress was good, but will never return because of the over priced food. Not impressed at all. The menu looked good, but everything was overpriced and I really doubt the food will be delivered as it looks on the menu.

I can taste the hoisin sauce and mixture of fried onion rings, peppers, and onions. Great dish, only wish they gave more lettuce.

Our evening on their spacious patio started with some refreshing cocktails - Tequila Sunrise, Grand Thai Tea, and Sparkling Mango Mint. They looked good and tasted great! We ordered the Sharing Platter to start, while we decided on the rest of our meal. It included chicken tenders, onion rings, garlic cheese fingers, pickle spears, carrot and celery sticks, and assorted dips. It was all good! For our main courses, we got a bit carried away. Everything on the menu looked really good and it was hard to choose so we ended up with Fish Tacos, Triple Decker Club Sandwich, Chicken Cobb Salad, Buffalo Chicken Pizza, Fajitas, and the Kids' Burger. Everything tasted great, with the fish tacos, cobb salad, and fajitas being our favourites. If we weren't so stuffed, we would have tried their desserts. Next time. With good food and good service, we'll definitely return!

Visited Gabby's for the first time. The food (sweet chili thai chicken wings, hot honey garlic and…read morehot chicken tenders, fries and sweet potato fries) was all very good. The beer that was served to my friends seemed to be fine but my diet coke was flat unfortunately. We had a trainee server which might have contributed to our bills being completely messed up but we just paid them anyway...no biggie. I thought it was odd that we didn't receive an actual bill. However, we could see what we were paying for on the payment terminal if we asked. They missed an opportunity to share a QR code or ask customers to submit a review...but I'm submitting a review anyway.

Your first order is 6 wings after that you get 4 and it's annoying waiting between orders. It's what you expect from a Bar...greasy fries, old washrooms, and a big TV over the bar.

One night the guys from work and I decided we would go for a beer & wings. $13 for the all you can eat wings, and we split a pitcher. You pick your sauce and you start with 6 wings...........then slowly......... yep........ slowly they bring you refills of 4. They make you wait. No doubt part of the strategy, I assume they hope you get full waiting. Perhaps they think it will reduce waste. During our visit we got full while waiting and two us wasted 3 of the 4 wings each. I think this is such a stupid practice. (A) I'd never suggest anyone check it out! So no good word of mouth coming from me (or anyone in my group). (B) I'd certainly not rush to go back here, not now, possibly not ever. During our visit I asked the lady if we could double our order, I let her know I'd eat over 10 wings easily. I was told, "no, other people are waiting." Like you cant drop more in the fryer ? The kicker, the place had two other tables of apx 3 people per table. So 9 people including my group. But again, this is what they make you do. Slow service hoping you get full. I guess they want your $13 and no repeat business. Bar is dated and old looking, as I would suspect. Bathrooms were AWFUL. To be fair I should add, the wings were decent in size. The sauces are just your local grocery store sauces. The wings are all cooked the same, then sauced in your pick. We tried the HOT - it was dusted with some odd spice, not good. The Bufalo wings we ok. The sweet chili reminds me of the PC sauce I buy from no frills, and the parm/garlic were decent. All in all I would not go back. The expericne does not warrant another visit. The way in which they serve the customers is just off putting.

Menu is a tad over priced, but I can't deny it tastes good. Not overly salty or oily as bar food often is, and I actually really enjoyed their pasta. It's definitely a great place to go for a bit of a splurgy night with friends where you're prepared to pay $20-40 per person. I like it for a date night to have some heavier foods that I wouldn't want to try cooking at home. The short rib pappardelle was the best. I love the flavour and it's not too crazy heavy, even though it looks really creamy. It has very beef stew type vibes. The chicken wings were well cooked and still moist. I think it was too much flavour going on though. You LOVE the first and even second wing. But by the third one, I felt like it was getting too heavy. I know though that a lot of people love that and can't get enough of it. I personally don't like too much of any one thing. The brussel sprouts I felt the same. It's really yum for the first few bites but it gets really heavy after a while. I think it's really fun to have the appetizers and share a main with someone. The foods are a bit heavier, more of a flavour bomb, but everything is executed well and the staff are really nice! We've even done take out and the portions were very much the same.
