We were in search of a cafe nearby to get some work done, and came across Gate Cafe on Yonge! It merged with Grill Gate and now has an extensive menu serving Persian comfort food, drinks and desserts! I'm especially excited for their handcrafted milkshakes! The Saffron Milkshake is to die for This hearty drink is made with saffron ice cream, milk, banana, walnut, pistachio, peanut and almond. Service was friendly and attentive, and we enjoyed our time spent there!
My friend who's a car mechanic heard about this place from his boss and in turn relayed the info to me that this place was really good. I'm a richmond hill local but I live a lil bit more south so this area around yonge and major mack I don't eat at often. I knew that it was in the same neck of the woods as Aneal's close by so I knew parking was gonna be tricky. Luckily, some quick googling informed me that there was public parking in the back behind the resto. I entered from what looked like the main entrance and my first impression was that there were maybe 2 tables to eat? I ordered a modified philly steak combo (came w/ fries and a drink). After placing my order, the girl who took my order guided me through a door next to the kitchen which led to the unit next door and it housed so many more seats! I was in awe of how much space the next door unit had. Looking at the menu, you can tell they not only serve lunch but also cafe items like waffles, tea, coffee, eggs. But their main claim to fame is the burgers and philly steaks. My philly steak looked magnificent. The bread was so soft on the inside but they toasted it on the outside so it had a nice light crunch. There was a ton of meat and goodies inside. The cheese was super fresh. Looking at these other reviews a lot of ppl have been questioning whether this philly steak is the best in toronto. I would absolutely put it in that conversation! The fries on the side weren't anything special imo. They were crispy, seasoned and had a dill/parmesan? sauce drizzled on top but they reminded me of mccain fries from costco haha (which there's nothing wrong with!) If you want fries, order one of the specialty poutines as you'll be more satisfied I think. But yea, I think next time, I'd skip the fries and drink because the combo came to ~$27!!!! which is crazy imo. I'm torn. The sandwich ALONE is definitely worth the $18 tag cuz of the massive amount of meat but I think the combo should be priced around $19-23. $27 is kinda ridiculous. I didn't get a chance to try a burger so I will have to come back for science purposes (the mushroom burger is calling my name lol).
It was my first time visiting Grill Gate, and I was genuinely looking forward to trying their food, especially since I had heard good things about it from my friend who had been there before. We ordered three different dishes so I could get a good sense of the menu, but unfortunately, the food didn't meet my expectations at all. The flavors were flat, and everything just felt off -- like the quality had dropped. What really left a bad impression, though, was the service. Our server was unprofessional and lacked basic courtesy. At one point, while we were still eating, they took one of our plates without even asking -- which I found really disrespectful. My friend politely asked them to wait until we finished, but instead of acknowledging the mistake or apologizing, the server just walked off coldly. We had already paid the bill and even left a tip out of respect, but the way we were treated was honestly unacceptable. First impressions matter, and unfortunately, this one was not good. I hope the restaurant takes customer feedback seriously and works on both food quality and staff training.
It was my first time at this location, I have tried Grill Gate Sheppard Ave. location before, but not here. In addition to all the menu items the other location offers, they offer delicious pizzas, too. We ordered their signature, Philly Steak Sandwich, and Chef Pizza. They were both delicious and properly cooked. Their pizza is one of my favorites in GTA.
How did I ever not know about this place? Thanks to social media I had to try it out. Even though a cheese burger cost $16, the size is twice if not thrice as big than an average cheeseburger. Verdict? Juicy, balanced, fresh, crispy, and last but not least, satisfying. Solid 4.5/5
Cute little shop, everyone there was super friendly. The spicy mushroom sandwich was good. I just wish it wasn't so saucy. Because personally I don't like when my burgers are messy and falling apart. But for taste. It was delicious. And the size was massive compared to a regular burger. The Philly steak is super flavourful. If I had to pick between the 2. My favourite would have to be the Philly steak. For taste I think this is the better choice out of the two
Dare I say the best Philly Steak Sandwich? If you don't know about this spot then you have been missing out on what I think is the best Philly Cheesesteak sandwich in Toronto. Their sandwiches are ginormous and the meat is so delicious but don't forget about their other menu items because it is just as delicious. But did you know there is a @gate.cafe.richmondhill as well? Exclusive to the Richmond hill location ! Check grill gate cafe for my review
10/10.. mouthwatering, so good!! I love eating burgers with eggs in them. The whole menu looked delicious. It was so hard to choose something on the menu everything looked good. I want to try the Philly cheesesteak sandwich next. The man in front of me ordered it and it looked delicious.
The food actually looks like the pictures! I have tried more than half their menus and they are all tasty! Just go to their Instagram and choose whatever looks appealing to you and you will not be disappointed. Also, I recommend having the food inside the restaurant because of their nice atmosphere
When you go to Grill Gate, you will genuinely have a hearty meal because their burgers are *extremely* filling. Personally, I find them a touch too greasy as they sit heavy on the stomach afterwards, but in the moment they taste delicious. The restaurant itself is a bit small, but it is in a great location in downtown Richmond Hill. I shared their classic cheeseburger and mushroom cheeseburger with three other people and there were still leftovers! The portions are seriously heavy. I would highly recommend sharing a cheeseburger between two people. My favourite part of the meal had to be the fries though. They come with this delicious special sauce that is an absolute must-try. It's mayonnaise mixed with some garlic and parsley maybe? I'm not sure, but it tastes great, so definitely order the sauce on the side to try!
My friend and I wanted a quick bite when we were in the area and decided to check this place out out. The menu had a lot of options and with pictures! I ordered a grilled chicken and mushroom wrap and made it a combo with fries. The prices were a little steep but the portions were huge. The presentation was nice and the food came out relatively fast so I would recommend this place! read more
My friend 'in the know' told me about Grill Gate after I raved about another burger spot on Yonge Street..so I figured I had to check it out! Grill Gate is a large location that is a couple of storefronts combined. Lots of space to dine in if you like, with full table service. I got the gourmet cheeseburger- 8oz burger with cheddar and a lovely grilled mozzarella 'patty' as well. This thing was juicy and flavourful, the meat was seasoned in a way that reminded me of 'Mediterranean' lol. It's the best way I can describe it? So much mozzarella that I had a cheese pull! The fries come with a nice garlic sauce and honestly the whole meal was fantastic. Prices were affordable and worth it for how full I was for the rest of the day! Glad I finally tried it...I love smash burgers, but sometimes a good old fashioned burger just hits the spot. read more

Their Philly Steak Sandwich, Mushroom Cheeseburger, and Guacamole Cheeseburger are absolutely UNBEATABLE!!!! I mean it. No other place in Richmond Hill serves cheeseburgers and Philly steak sandwiches this good. If you're hungry and craving something something that'll hit the spot, I recommend this place. These guys are good at what they do and I hope they stay in business for many years to come. read more

It is worth a try, I order a mushroom cheeseburger for me and a Philly sandwich for my son. His sandwich is huge and loaded with meat. The burger is not my favorite food is always greasy, but it is the fat and greasy that make it taste good. read more

If one day you wanted to really treat yourself to the most amazing sandwich at a very reasonable price and get the most professional service in a friendly, clean, and efficient restaurant then visit Grill Gate in Richmond Hill. You will be genuinely surprised! I just have to warn you that the food is so amazing that you may become addicted! I have not visited the North York location yet, however the 5 times I have been to the Richmond Hill location I have been very pleased with the quality and consistency of my super sandwich. 100% 5 out of 5 stars each time. I highly recommend the Philly steak sandwich. And trust me at first it looks like just half a sandwich but it is massive and they are very generous with the amount of steak in there. read more
