    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.

    fries on the side as part of my combo

    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).

    Classic cheese burger

    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

    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.

    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

    Egg topped bacon cheeseburger

    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!

    $14 - Delicious Philly Steak Sandwich. Good for 2 people.

    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.

    Woody Wood Burger had really good reviews on Google and not so great on Yelp. So I wanted to try it…read moreand see for myself. I visited the Richmond Hill location, they also have a location in Newmarket. Restaurant is located in a plaza with lots of parking. Restaurant is clean and modern with 6-7 tables not a huge restaurant. They specialize in wood fire flamed burgers. They also have sandwich options. Service was great, we were greeted as we came in. You pay at the front counter and pick up your food and the front. Some of the item comes with fries and a drink and other items are burger only. They were great with substitutions. I changed the fries to onion rings and changed pop to water. No issues they were super flexible and I don't think they charged me for the changes. I ordered the mushrooms burger. It was so flavourful. Juicy beef patty with the perfect charred edges. My boyfriend got the Louisiana burger it was the perfect amount of spicy and a piece of deep fried cheese was so good. The burgers were huge I had to give the rest to my boyfriend. The onion rings were amazing. I would definitely come back again!!!!

    After being obsessed with smash burgers for the last few years, I was skeptical about a wood…read moregrilled burger being as good... Well, I can admit when I am dead wrong. This burger was incredible! I got the woody wood burger (dressed with fried onions, mushrooms and their sauce) with curly fries and it was one of the best meals I've had in ages. The burger was juicy and had a crust..! The curly fries were crispy like they should be...next time I'll try the fresh cut kind. You smell the wood burning right when you walk in. It's a good sized place with plenty of room to sit. I came right before a lunch rush so I'm lucky that my order only took about 10 minutes to prepare. When it tastes this fresh, I can wait! I can't wait to come back and try a different burger, and it will be soon!

    Maybe I goofed and made a mistake ordering the Juicy Lucy. It sounded the most interesting and I…read morewas expecting to be blown away or for it to look like some of the cheeseburger photos posted online. It looked nothing like the cheeseburger from Burger Factory that's posted online. The patty was not even thick at all! I received a thin patty which contained cheese but I had to get to the center of the burger to get a bit of cheese oozing out. The rest of the patty was essentially a Mc D caliber patty. If you look at the pic I posted, the meat to bun ratio was also totally off. The bun was bigger than the meat so I had bites where I was literally just eating thick bread and veggies. The cheeseburger photos show big chunky meat patties so I'm wondering if I got an employee who didn't really know what he was doing? I opted for a combo and got mac n' cheese bites as my side. These were exceptionally disappointing. I'm no mac expert but I'd be willing to bet a dollar that they use Kraft dinner in these mac n' cheese bites. Overly salty, overly processed. No dipping sauce, just came with two ketchup packets on the side. For a meal that hit me for over $20 I truly felt ripped off. This combo was NOT worth $20+. I had a double Shack burger from Shake Shack literally a week prior to eating here and that burger was MILES better and way more "gourmet" tasting than this one.

    This place is great. Came on a late night, place is very clean with plenty of seating. Asked the…read moreguy at the register what people usually get and they said a lot of people try the Juicy Lucy as it's very cheesy and melts in your mouth. Seemed a little too adventurous for me so I went with their promo at the time which was 2 cheeseburgers and fries for (i think $15). Burgers were 5oz each so you can imagine how full I was. Very nicely cooked, they use a really good quality sesame bun which I think makes a big difference when you bite into the burger. Good toppings and the fries were nice and lite. Not too oily and salty as other places are. A great deal that is probably not around anymore haha. Shoutout to Matthew there for hooking us up with some free ice cream too as they were just about to close.
