Service was great. We had a most attentive server and to boot she got me the frites as for some reason we got fries that were not quite as skinny as frites but more like French fries. They cook them in beef tallow which for me is a bonus cause that adds a lot of flavour. However I noticed a difference between the regular fries vs the frites. The frites were much better. The salad was amazing with the candied walnuts The steak was good. I still thought it was slightly overcooked for medium rare. We also had the one of the desserts. $20 for a slice of cake!! It was 5 layers and made in house. I would go back again though I might fuss over the doneness my steak next time. I was just happy to be there and enjoy their back patio which was so lovely in the summer. Though I did a wasp that just wouldn't leave for a while Overall it was good. 4 stars cause the steak did not arrive medium rare read more

Expectations were exceeded at J's. It started right when we walked in and the host offered to take our coats. Our server proceeded to explain their 2-course menu - candied walnut salad with a side of bread, a 10oz steak & UNLIMITED fries for $60/person We ordered our steak in medium-rare and it was so tender & juicy, paired with their butter sauce - it was heavenly What's better than unlimited fries is the fact that it's fresh out of the fryer! no cold soggy fries in da house ‍ it tasted like McDonald's fries but on CRACK After our meal, our server brought out 4 different types of dessert for us to choose - so boujee purr They rotate their dessert frequently. We went with the 4-layer red velvet cake with a layer of cheesecake in the middle. & since we mentioned to the host we're celebrating a birthday, they included a candle for a sweet touch Overall, great food, amazing service. 10/10 no notes. read more

J's Steak Frites - Salad & bread - Steakhouses Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

J's Steak Frites is a great "nice-ish" dinner option. "Nice-ish" in the sense that you may want to spring for something a little more elegant for Valentine's Day or an anniversary, but perfect for a casual birthday or career celebration. When I went, J's offered a $60 pre-fixe menu consisting of a 10 oz. steak, a salad, and their biggest sell: unlimited fries. For what you get, $60 is a really good deal (especially if you LOVE fries). The steak and salad were good. Nothing to write home about, but definitely no slouch either. I asked for my steak medium rare and they cooked it to perfection. The salad was nice and light - the perfect compliment to the steak and fries. Now... the fries. I cannot overstate this: it reminded me of McDonald's. The consistency, form factor, and taste is VERY reminiscent of McDonald's. If you're not a fan of McDonald's, you should think twice. Personally, I love it, and helping after helping of the fries was a very nice treat. Even better, our server was very attentive and replenished my fries supply in a timely basis. Don't get me wrong - I did not feel excellent afterwards, but I got exactly what I signed up for. Would recommend! read more

This place is the epitome of the meaning "having a steak, pommes frites". The wait staff function like a well oiled machine. They are never in your face, but can pick up on the slightest nuance to ensure that you're doing the experiences. Nothing short of perfect.J is busy, ensuring that all the restaurant patrons are well looked after. The mixed green salad is a must. Their house dressing is a perfect balance of flavours without taking away from the intention of the salad. The candy walnuts at a very nice lift to this entire dish. Again, without being in your face, the wait staff, will discreetly come to your table with a stainless steel dish, full of frites, followed quickly by yours teak, done to perfection. The finishing touch of fleur de sel on the steak, makes it so French. This was not lost on either my partner or myself. Moving onto the desserts we did not know that J's wife was a pastry chef, and made all the desserts. Their presentation was outstanding as was their taste. They were neither heavy nor imposing, but rather delicately, sweet and full of flavor, to make the end of the meal most spectacular. While, this is not a cheap place to go for food, you certainly get the value in the quality in the professionalism of the staff, along with incredibly high-grade products. I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes a good steak. The atmosphere in the restaurant was totally upbeat. The music was neither too loud or too quiet, without getting in the way of your conversation. read more

A cool spot to get your steak and frites fix. The restaurant doesn't have a menu, and all your expected to select is how you would like your steak cooked. Located on Toronto's West end, the restaurant has more of an European / Parisian style setup rather than the traditional steakhouse. Steak was excellently prepared and the frites were just kind of perfect and did I mention it's unlimited! (They kind of remind me of McDonald's fries which some people enjoy, such as me) Definitely adding to the list in my steakhouse rotation read more

J's Steak Frites - Steakhouses Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

TLDR: In all my years reviewing food this was the worst service I have ever received. Would give 0/5 stars if I can. I came here for my birthday with some friends, they were all gonna order the steak special and I was gonna order the cake and drinks. I could not eat an entire 10oz steak but I was being forced to pay for it. Waiter told me "Maybe you can leave and come back when you are more hungry later today?". I was flabbergasted. Then we asked for the manager and he came and said "We need to cater for our other customers on our waitlist". Yet there were multiple empty seats around us. We left and each of us were charged a $30 fee even though they were the ones who refused to serve or cater to us. Not once did the restaurant consider to put the customers best interest first. All they cared about was money. I'd never return here nor would I ever recommend this place. If you want Steak and Frites, visit Jules Bistro just a 10min walk away. They don't force you to pay for anything and you can share your steak frites with as many people. read more

$55 for a 10oz steak, candied walnut salad, bread and unlimited fries. They only serve steak frites and they do it well. The salad was very very very citrusy which was too acidic for my stomach but the candied walnuts made up for it. The steak was perfectly cooked medium rare as requested and served with a targon sauce (can't remember). The steak was not warm when served and got cold pretty fast despite it being served on top of a plate over a candle. It was a bummer because even if slightly cold, it was definitely how I liked my steak and could only imagine if it was warm. Not sure if it was sitting out too long until it was served. Hopefully it was a one off experience as it was a relatively expensive dinner. We definitely enjoyed the unlimited fries with the sauce though. The fries kind of remind me of McDonalds fries. The service was AMAZING however. The servers were really nice and attended to all of our requests timely. Though we didn't have a reservation, I would recommend one as there's not that many tables and a pretty popular spot. We got lucky. read more

J's Steak Frites located on Queen St W. near Gladstone Ave is a Parisian style steakhouse. The unique concept of this restaurant is that they only serve one main dish, steak frites, for a set price. For $49 (+ tax) per person, you get your choice of appetizer (daily soup or a candied walnut salad), steak (our steak was striploin that night), butter sauce, and unlimited fries. There is also bread and butter included in the meal as well. J's Steak Frites has daily desserts that may change which are an additional cost. There is also an extensive wine list as well as cocktails available. Seating time is 90 min where reservations are definitely recommended. I've actually been to the location of J's Steak Frites when the restaurant was Dandylion. The owners of J's Steak Frites have kept majority of the interior the same. The space is not large and there is seating for about ~30 customers. Washrooms are located in the basement and are not wheelchair accessible. I recently dined at J's Steak Frites on a Sat night and reserved a 5:45pm time. I was surprised that there was a line for customers to enter the restaurant when I arrived promptly. I did see on the restaurant's Instagram that night that they had walk-ins only, meaning that likely all reservations were booked. My husband and I were greeted and shown to our table. The server came by right away to let us know of the menu and gave us some time to decide our drink of choice. In regards to food, I opted for the salad and my husband got the daily soup (a mushroom veloute). Both items were tasty. The salad was perfectly coated with the right amount of dressing and the candied walnuts gave a slight sweetness to the dish. For the main attraction, we both asked for our steaks to be cooked medium rare, which both were when they arrived. The steak was delicious, tender and seasoned well. The portion of the steak was also not small, which will feed someone who is hungry. I expected the steaks to be executed well and they were. The butter sauce was delicious as well - great accompaniment to the steak. The fries were thin and oh so addictive. I definitely enjoyed the steak frites. For dessert there was a chocolate cake that night. We opted to share a slice (the slices are huge!). The cake was made well - not too sweet but just a perfect slice of chocolate cake. The service was great at J's Steak Frites. Our server and hostess made sure we were satisfied and checked up on us several times to see if we wanted more fries and if everything was to our liking. Overall, great place for steak frites - would recommend if you are a fan of the dish. I definitely would return in the future! read more

While I don't regret trying it, J's Steak Frites fell flat overall and I can't say I'd be back. Firstly, we had the unfortunate pleasure of sitting by the door which was drafty and right by the communal coat hook. And because their front door is broken, your table will double as host as you get up to open the door for arriving guests who can't open it from the outside. We started with bread and salad which were basic. The fries were good, though I can't say I agree with reviewers who compare them to McDonalds - they were closer to being soggy vs crispy like McDonalds'. The steak was served lukewarm and was run of the mill. They make a good paper plane, at least! read more

J's Steak Frites - people sitting at tables in a restaurant - Steakhouses Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I saw this place on TikTok and had to try it. I came here for their Valentine's special, which was to decorate your own dessert. The overall ambiance of the restaurant is cozy and romantic. I'd say it was a medium sized restaurant. The presentation of food and drinks were amazing. The servers were mostly attentive and very kind. The menu is fixed, and you are offered bread and butter, soup or salad, steak and fries, and dessert. On the day I went, they only had salad so we got that. The pieces of bread were so tiny, and there is enough butter for maybe two pieces. The steak was cooked perfectly and the butter sauce that comes with it is delicious. They should give this butter with the bread as well. The fries looked like McDonalds fries, but they were slightly better. The drinks were good. The servers walk around with trays of fries, offering them to you as they go around. Although the fries are all you can eat, they start you off with a large portion so we didn't need a second round of fries. The dessert was a very sweet honey cake and it came with some sprinkles that we could add on ourselves. It was cute and fun to decorate, but the cake was a bit too sweet. Our server was soft spoken and a little clumsy. I saw her dropping things at other tables. She let us sit with the menu for a while before taking our orders, even though everyone in the restaurant is ordering the same thing apart from drinks. I did notice another server ask if a customer wanted his jacket hung up on the racks, but everyone else in that area was sitting with their jackets. We also sat with our jackets on our chairs. There is only one washroom and it is down a flight of stairs. The washroom is not the nicest. Overall it was a good experience and the food was delicious. read more

I'd been wanting to check out J's Steak Frites ever since it opened, mostly because I just love its gimmick of literally only serving steak frites. (The only thing you're asked is how you want your steak cooked, which is awesome.) We showed up minutes after it opened on a recent weekday and the place was already half full (and completely packed by the time we finished). The first course is a simple salad with candied walnuts and it's nothing mind-blowing but it's tasty. And why not start with some greens before digging into the meat and potatoes? I'd requested my steak cooked medium rare, and it was indeed cooked perfectly. This is one amazing steak. Almost every mouthful was so tender and delicious, and the seasoning was right on point. There were a couple of bites with inedible fatty pieces, but mostly I enjoyed the heck out of this meal. (The fries were great, too.) I was pretty full but I couldn't resist trying their creme caramel for dessert and it was also terrific. Super creamy and loaded with burnt-caramel sauce, I pretty much inhaled this concoction. (I tried a couple of the joint's cocktails as well, and they were fine but nothing that knocked my socks off.) J's Steak Frites isn't exactly cheap but I'd say it's worth it. read more

Located in the heart of Toronto, this spot serves a $56 prix fixe menu featuring a 10 oz. steak and its signature UNLIMITED fries This Parisian style set course also comes with fluffy bread and butter and a nice candied walnuts salad. I forgot the name of their cherry chocolate cake but it was super decadent and rich in flavour. The portion for one dessert is more than enough to feed two people. I genuinely loved everything about this restaurant. The staff were not only attentive to our table but others as well. The fries were McDonald's but 10x better. read more

J's Steak Frites - Steakhouses Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Overall a decent experience with a few sticking points. The Good: As someone who hates having to choose off a menu, coming to a one dish restaurant like this is a great experience. I still have to choose a cocktail and a dessert but the appetizer and main are taken care of which is nice. The bread, salad and steak and frites are prepared wel and cooked to perfection how you like it. The service is the right level of attentive. Unlimited fries is a nice touch. They have a decent but accessible wine list. The desserts are hit or miss, I think it might be a matter of personal taste as I don't like overly rich sweet desserts but they did taste good and were well presented. I did have a pumpkin crème brûlée there that was amazing tho but I would be cautious with the cakes/mousses if your like me. The Not So Good: Mostly around restaurant policy and how it affects experience. They charge a fee for reservations now, a recent development. I get that bad people ruined reservations for everyone but I find their practice to be a little excessive. A flat 50/100 deposit would be reasonable, although I don't like it, however they have a deposit per head (50/person). I had a party of five and someone was sick and couldn't make it. Either I have to absorb the cost of the reservation deposit for their seat or be kind of a shitty person and ask them to pay me for missing the outing, which feels bad. I did ask for an exception and lucky they got someone to take the extra table left so she said they would waive it this time. However, I shouldn't have to do that in my opinion, deposits are to encourage people not to no show (especially large groups, not to penalize paying customers who haven't done anything wrong. Secondly, the enforced seating time of 2 hours makes for a bit of a rushed feeling with service. They get out the food quickly because it's all the same items going out, so more efficient for the kitchen, however it feels like the server sometimes is coming over and serving us a little to frequently to make sure we get enough fries, finish our win bottle and still have time to get through dessert and coffee. I am more understanding of this, you have other reservations to accommodate which makes sense, but I wish they put in a bit of grace time to make it a little more relaxed, even just 15 minutes between end of our seating and the start time of the next would make a large difference. read more

This place was solid but nothing crazy special. It's a pris fixe menu of salad, steak and fries. The salad sucked, in my opinion. Limp lettuce, lacking flavour. The steak was tasty and nicely seasoned but had a bit too much gristly fat for my taste. The butter sauce was nice. The fries were awesome! Best when eaten piping hot. If yours get cold, don't be shy about asking for some hot fresh ones, seeing as they're unlimited. The service was lovely; the atmosphere was alight. Glad I tried this place but I don't think I'll be rushing back. read more

J's has a great, simple concept that works well - choose how you like your steak and they handle the rest. They start you off with some bread and butter, a spinach salad, and then comes the steak as well as the unlimited fries. Every bite was very good - they know what they're good at, and they execute it well. The fries are just like McDonalds fries, and the steak comes with a tarragon cream sauce that was pretty good too. For dessert we tried the oreo cake and strawberry shortcake which were both very solid - they make all their pastries in house. Lastly, the service was excellent! They were super attentive and came around often with piping hot fries, which apparently someone managed to eat 12 plates of once. Overall, J's was all around very solid and it's well worth trying! read more

I would give 3.5/4 if I could. The steak and fries were tasty. Everything was cooked well although we found some steaks were more tender than others at our table.

J's Steak Frites - Steak frites - Steakhouses Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

J's Steak Frites is a great place if you appreciate a classic and perfectly cooked steak. It's a fixed menu of bread, salad (I think you can switch this for soup but it was not offered the day I came), unlimited frites (in the best way possible they're like fresh McDonald's fries and I really enjoyed them!), steak cooked to your preference (we went for medium rare and it was truly perfect), and you can add a dessert and coffee/ tea at the end. The drinks and wine list was great. The staff was professional and helpful. The owner was there that day so you can tell it's a restaurant that is looked after and cared for. I found the price to be appropriate and reasonable for what was offered. It was a clean restaurant, the bathroom was clean and cute too. The seating is slightly less intimate than I would have preferred because the tables are so close together, and the restaurant is long, but overall it was a wonderful experience. read more

Who else thinks that when a restaurant has a small menu it usually means that they really excel at those few items? J's Steak Frites literally only has 1 option- steak frites. No other cuts of steak were offered except the one type of NY striploin (cooked however you wish) with house sauce and unlimited french fries for $49/pp. They give you the option of choosing a green salad or their soup of the day. When we went it was pumpkin soup (I think) and it was a bit on the thick side but decent. The salad was quite plain and the dressing wasn't that exciting. The only thing you choose with your meal besides the sides is how you want your steak cooked. We both had ours medium rare, and it was absolutely perfect. It was tender, juicy and flavorful and the house sauce was a perfect complement to everything from the meat to the fries. One of the co-owners is a Le Cordon Bleu trained pastry chef, which definitely explains why their desserts were so yummy. We chose the massive macaron with raspberry and lychee with whole raspberries and real chunks of lychee inside. It tasted just as good as it looked I do wish they offered different quality and cuts of meat but overall it was a great and authentic French steak frites experience. Definitely don't skip out on the dessert as it was really some of my favorite read more

J's Steak Frites - Steakhouses Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

For some of us, deciding on what to eat could be pretty tricky especially if the menu offers a plethora of choices. That won't be an issue if you come to J's Steak Frites! They offer one thing only and that's steak frites. You'll only need to decide on your drink choice and dessert. The atmosphere is classy yet homey, it was serene yet bustling. The service was great, waitress was friendly. They check on you just at the right frequency and timing. We were checked on not just by our waitress, but also some other and at a couple occasions, by Jad himself, one of the co-owners. They all somehow managed to stop by at the right time, when there wasn't food in your mouth so you can actually respond to their questions. The feast started with house-made bread and butter and fresh green salad with lemon vinaigrette topped with candied walnut. The vinaigrette and candied walnut were impressive, I would come back just for these. Moving on, the main course itself. The steak is served sliced on this warming dish (it has tea light candle under), and the waitress will scoop up some french fries onto your plate. There is nothing special about the fries aside from it being unlimitedly available. The steak itself was juicy and tender, the flaky salt on top really adds to the whole mouthfeel. Oh and let's not for get the special secret butter sauce that comes with the steak. I've never thought it would be nice to dip steak in any sauce let alone thick creamy buttery sauce since it might ruin the steak's flavor, but this worked. Now, before coming here, I had read about their rotating dessert menu, and the latest one that caught my attention was their Baba au rum. They say look could be deceiving and I think this cake is the embodiment of that sentence. From the look itself one might think it's nothing spectacular but a golden cake with cream middle, BUT do cut into it and take a bite, you's find yourself slowly widening your eyes to the realization of how delicious and flavor-packed that each bite will be. The automatic response of my body of that bite was a little happy dance... that couldn't be helped. read more

This place is a solid 4. No frills, you get what you pay for plus great service. J's Steak Frites - 1198 Queen St. West $49 per person includes steak, unlimited fries, candied walnut green salad, bread, and free dessert only on Sundays Well worth the price. The frites remind me of McDonald's fries though, which I know for some is their fave, but is not my fave type of fries. They use a candle underneath the steak plates to keep the steak warm, but they should also consider a warm plate for the fries as well bc it only keeps hot for a couple of mins after they serve it fresh to you and it's only the most delicious when the frites are hot (or at least warm). The free dessert on Sunday was such a nice touch. Their sticky toffee pudding is actually to die for. Made this meal well worth the money. read more

What I like about this place is the service and the ambiance. However, the food while fairly priced could be warmer. The steak and fries tasted good with the right texture and seasoning, just that the steak being already precut got cold very fast. They do have tasty dessert and fine wines to match the steaks. read more

We saw this place on tiktok and wanted to try it out for my mom's birthday. The menu had one item which was steak frites obviously and all you need to do is tell them how you want it done. It also came with the choice of salad or soup but unfortunately they didnt receive any ingredients for the soup that day so we got the salad, which was simple but deliciois. The steak came with a delicious butter taragon sauce and the steak itself was beautifully tender and juicy. The fries were crispy and similar in texture to mcdonalds but without the heavy mcdonalds fry flavour. The only feedback to give that my mom was disappointed by was that they had this warmer to put the steak on but it was lit by a candle and it ended up cooking my mom's medium rare steak to basically well done before she got halfway through it. The ambiance was quite nice, it was cozy but in a nice bar kind of way if that makes sense. Our waitress was magnificent and was so attentive and kind, unfortunately i didn't catch her name but she was terrific. I sat at the very front of the restaurant which was very aesthetic and much roomier than the other seats in the house but it gets quite drafty since it's right next to the door. Overall I would say it's l like a 7.9/10 read more

For our appetizer, we get to choose between mushroom soup or candied walnut salad.

J's Steak Frites - Steakhouses Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

A very courteous crew and ambience. The set up reminds me very much of Le relais de Venise, the menu offering, the presentation, etc. However, the "special sauce" was entirely different... feels like egg mayo in dill but thicker and made it too full and filling towards the end of the meal. Nothing compared to Le Renais' special sauce. The striploin was presented on a warmer with lots of salt sprinkled on top. At the end of the meal, it became too salty and dry. The one thing that was great was the fries. It was great! The wine collection was limited, also like that of Le Renais... however the quality of wine offering by glass was too young. Need some better quality there. All in all, a good try. read more

Came here on a trip to Toronto , originally from NYC this place felt a bit homey to me which was great. The restaurant is a bit small and it's probably best with a reservation ( we had one) The wine list was bigger than expected , as others have said it is a pre fix menu with 1 cut of steak with a choice or soup or salad with unlimited fries for a set price ( I'd look at the website for a current price as idk if it will change.)

J's Steak Frites - Med / med rare steaks - Steakhouses Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

My wife and I were excited to try another downtown Toronto option for those days when you crave steak frites - of which there are many in any given month (for us at least). Considering we live within a 10 minute walk of J's, we were extra-excited about a local option. I'll skip past the overall ambiance and get right to the meal itself: UNDERWHELMING to say the least. The best part was the ok salad, but the striploin was small and mediocre at best. "All you can eat fries" - who fu*ken cares? If you want great steak frites head to Cote de Boeuf on Ossington or Jules Bistro on Queen. Both are light years ahead of J's. Sorry folks, these rating raving about this place are perplexing to say the least... read more

Obviously, this isn't a place for health food. You get a fine salad, but otherwise, this is a place to get a fabulous steak in a nice atmosphere for a high-ish but still reasonable price. It's perfect for a birthday or other special occasion. The strip steaks we got were perfect - literally perfect. Rare was rare and medium rare was medium rare. The steaks were extremely tender and juicy. The beef is very definitely a notch above the usual grocery store grade. The service was timely and friendly, the fries crispy and delicious, and we left stuffed. I love the ironclad reservation system. If more restaurants charged for reservations, we'd all get better service and prices. The only downsides are fairly minor. The dining room is a bit cramped. The beer selection is pathetic, with just one tasteless Pilsner. Seriously? They think they need to sell wine to make margin, but why not just charge a few more dollars than usual for a custom micro brew? Still, with a salad, giant steak, and endless fries, I didn't have room for much more than a Pilsner, anyway. read more

Lovely steak frites place that also serves delicious desserts (love loved the St. honore cake). Recommend just for the novelty of endless fries which can be fun if you order some wine to go with your meal. Very enjoyable for the price point. read more
