I came here around 7:45 on a Friday evening while I was waiting for a reservation at a nearby restaurant. Although the place was busy, we had no problems finding a table for two. They have a decent selection of beer and a smaller selection of wine (maybe four types each of red and white) at around $7.50 for a glass. Service was adequate and this was a fine place to go to kill some time. I would have no issues with returning here, and it looks like they have a good patio for when the weather improves. read more

Onion rings and kale caesar were good! Food comes out fast, the wait staff can forget about you even when it's dead slow. Will return!

I have not been a huge fan of the food offerings at this place over the years. That being said, last weekend a larger group of us went there for brunch. Wow. That changed my mind!! The food was great, and we did not need to 'scream' at each other to hear one another. Time to try dinner again... read more

Great patio, awful food. Drinks really overpriced, see if they have beer specials or somethin. Fries are a safe bet. Great for groups & hanging out, bad for eating. Awful slow service too. read more

Large, amazing patio for drinks. Mediocre pub food with average servers. Drink the afternoon away here and wander elsewhere for dining. Best thing on the menu are their nachos. read more

Ted served us tonight. Super attentive, and cute to look at. Best service I've had here by far.

love this place! friendly staff and service. spring and summer you will want to sit on the patio, it is the largest patio on Church St. the food is never disappointing. I personally love the buffalo chicken wrap. amazing onion rings. and the nachos are to die for. oh wait you also have to try the sangria they make it with fresh fruit. It is truly one of my favourite places to visit in the gay village. A lot of the servers have great personalities and joke around with the costumes. I have been going there since 2004 and I don't remember a time when I had a horrible time. I have even had some birthday parties there and rented the top floor in the past and always have been well taken care of. O'Grady's staff and management love their​ costumes and it show in there attitude and service. read more

Great place to go for the price that you're paying! My boyfriend and I were visiting Toronto from the United States and we wanted a relatively cheap place to eat for dinner. The chicken cobb salad I had was fantastic, and the meal my boyfriend had (can't remember it) was really good too. Our server was a friendly guy and we had some great conversations with him. He goes by John-John if you've had him. He gave us many bar recommendations and checked on us regularly. We'd definitely go back! read more

My best friend and I initially meant to visit the Keg mansion in the same area as o'Grady's. Long story short we decided to try some other area to go to because the Keg was still closed. When we got there we saw the menu and thought it looked delicious and they even offered a brunch special. We decided to give it a shot. When we got there we were greeted fairly by the hostess who sat us down and gave us the menus. After ordering two brunch specials, we noticed how somewhat empty our plate kinda looked. We only got two pieces of bacon, one sausage and a decent amount of eggs. Usually grabbing brunch from other restaurants your plate is more full and feels like it's worth your money but here it didn't as much. Although the special was decently cheap I would have expected to get atleast a good amount of the food I've ordered. The hostess was nice but I found that the people working there were barely even there, when we needed assistance. I believe they were all gathering for some type of meeting while customers were in the restaurant, when it would be more better to be doing that when customers aren't around. Other than that It was an okay experience but I likely won't be coming back. read more

Just a lesson in proper etiquette serving if there is a piece of plastic lodged inside a piece of calamari and your customers don't consume the calamari and you charge them for it... You're an A-Hole!!! Won't be back for your slop. On a better note drinks were great. read more

Terrible food, burger was way over cooked and my friend did not receive her buffalo chicken wrap that she order. Way to many red onions on the burger. Not sure why we did not receive any sides with our orders. Very disappointed. Will never eat again and will never recommend. read more

Absolutely terrible. Sitting outside on hottest day of the year and it has been 25 minutes since we ordered drinks and still nothing. Terrible service. Just terrible. read more

A wonderful place to go for breakfast/brunch. Food is always good, service is great. Check it out...and in the summer, the patio is relaxing with good "views"! read more

Went a couple of times for the breakfast special (it was special alright). Sausage had wax paper on it both times! Straight from freezer to deep fryer - tasted like it was refried several times! Home fries tasted like wood chips! Masses of salt added! Rude service (if you hate your job do something else)! Many other places to go on Church Street, all have better food and service! read more

The service here is super friendly, and the place and menu look great since the renovation. The finger foods, like the sweet potato fries and especially the giant O rings are my favourite. The other food on the menu is OK, but it's mainly pub-style food. It's a great place for socializing and meeting friends. read more

The food is decent, the prices are okay. The service on the other hand... used car salesmen of the food industry. The servers employ the same strategies that tacky retail shops use. They make these irritating suggestions to try and get you to buy more items. For instance - if only one person is drinking booze and the other just wants water - they will drop constant suggestions for the water drinker to buy alcohol. Suggestive suggestions suggesting everything to make your bill larger. So you best go there wanting to spend a fortune because that will be the only way you can make your server even remotely interested in serving you. We had to ask several waiters to bring us the bill. Go across the street to the firkin where you don't have to deal with the pretentious staff. read more

Food was delicious and not too expensive. Service was ok. Great spot to relax and have a drink and a bite to eat.

Very classy place good food great staff friendly staff great place to for a nice cold drink or grab a great meal

We were a party of 5. They made us wait outside for almost 40 minutes. They kept telling us 2 minutes every 5 minutes. Then they told us "it's Friday night what do you expect!" When we told the manager that they kept saying 2 minutes they denied that they said that. Not worth spending your money there. The manager apologized but we decided to leave the unfriendly place. If you are more than 2 people go somewhere else. read more

I like coming to sit on the patio here. You're always guaranteed a spot. The service is friendly and prompt and the food selection is good -- especially for vegetarians. A hidden gem to order is the dip platter. You get three nice dips (the red pepper dip is the least delicious, but still good) and tons of pita. I usually order cider when there, and haven't noticed a problem. read more

The neighborhood pub with a friendly and knowledgable staff. Sports, cold beer, and good food.

Terrible service. Waited 45 minutes for an appetizer before being told they couldn't make it. Manager wasn't going to comp our drinks until we asked. She then said " you know what? Fine. Happy Mother's Day" and slapped the bill holder closed and walked away. We left and will not be returning. But on a happier note, the church mouse across the street was awesome as always! read more

I have been going to O'Grady's for years. After today I will not set foot in the place again. Took a friend for lunch. She was visiting from out of town and leaving tomorrow for the west coast. She had the Cob Salad with strips of beef. I had an omelet. The food tasted fine and the service was good. Unfortunately she became extremely ill about two hours after we finished our meal. It is food poisoning and a really nasty case of it. The only meal she had all day was the lunch. I called and spoke to the manager. He was nice enough and said he would speak to the kitchen..blah blah blah. Did he offer any compensation? How about a refund for her meal or a voucher for a future meal? Nope non of that. But did thank me for the call. What a cheap crappy establishment. They would not even take one bit of responsibility for what happened. Disgusting and reckless way to run a business. read more

I've been here a couple times and had an awful experience every time. The servers are snooty and rude, which is the last thing you expect in the usually welcoming and cheerful church st area. The food is really poor as well. Drinks are the same thing you get everywhere else. At the end of the day, my poor review is due to the service. I don't think I've ever encountered such a rude staff before. They treat customers like theyre doing them a huge favour to serve them and most of the time they are just plain rude. There are so many lovely and fun places along church st and just over on yonge and this place is just horrible. I wouldnt go here even if it was the only bar open in the area. read more

I was there for breakfast. The serving sizes were good and the food was very good. I think the outdoor seating space made the food seem better than it was. The staff is friendly and the other diners seemed to enjoy being there. My only complaint was that the menu didn't say the meals came with a side of fruit so I ordered a some. Between the generous amount on the plate plus the bowl, I had more than I wanted plus had to pay for it. Still, I enjoyed it enough to go back to dinner 2 days later. Dinner was good but very limited menu. read more

Slightly subpar food and a server who's only interest seemed bringing up our tab, upselling is on coffee with Bailey's, then charging an additional 3 for a coffee refill, plus an extra 3 dollars for salad instead of fries. It wouldn't have been an issue if she had told me any of it in advance. She also tried to shame the guy I was sitting with when she ran into him. There are so many better places in this city for the same price. read more

Yeah, great place if you want to be exposed to HEPATITIS! And if you want to see drama-queen waiters throw a fit if they don't get the tip they think they should. A tip is not a must - it's up to the customer if they want to tip and how much. If you count on your tips to pay your bills, then maybe you should find another job and not expect your customers to pay for the drinks and food AND pay the server's rent too. read more

This is the MOST Racist, Anti-Black restaurant. The server would chat it up with all the white patrons, and IGNORE the black ones. When he did help the black patrons he was INCREDIBLY rude, and basically tried his best to make them feel unwelcome. read more

O'Grady's serves a very nice weekend brunch that includes grilled pea meal bacon in it's choices of meat and several yummy platters and omelet options. It's a very pleasant place to linger over breakfast. read more

Love O'Grady's. Every time I go I have a blast. The servers are always friendly and the drinks are always well made. Only problem is they get packed pretty quickly so if you want a good seat on the patio you have to get there early.I will definitely be celebrating Pride there this week. read more

Descent food, usually pretty good service. Love the outdoor space in the summer! We frequently drop by for a drink and bring friends when they visit town. read more

The food was great, but couldn't beat the service. Alex "gorgeous Alex" (as per our receipt) was extraordinarily attentive and funny. My boyfriend and I brought a couple of friends to the city and had a great experience. read more

If you value your health, stay the hell away from this place. First of all, not every beer on tap is the brand advertised. The owner brings in cheap swill as a replacement to bolster the revenues. Also, you will NEVER see a beer tap service company cleaning the keg lines, it just doesn't happen. As for the kitchen, on their busy 'two for one' burger night, burgers are seared ahead of time and then placed into a beer pitcher full of water beside the grill. The burgers are still raw, just seared, and there they will sit until ordered where they can be quickly finished on the grill. Can you say e-coli?? This place is brutal, on so many levels. read more

1st trip to Toronto & stayed in a hotel close-by, had breakfast here one morning & was awesome - delicious food & generous portions for a great price! Nice friendly service too. Enjoyed so much went back again our last morning before heading out. At that time explored the huge patio along the street to find an expansive patio/bar area in back complete with flat screen HDTVs all around. So disappointed we missed that; weather was great all week there & would have loved to have drinks/dinner on patio. Maybe next time! read more

Connor was our bartender last night and was absolutely amazing. Attentive, warm, and friendly. Would go back again just to be served by him. And for the atmosphere, of course. Had a great time! Thanks guys! read more

I love the fact this place has guiness, and disappointed that the staff/owner on tues who I have never met before begin to drink off my beer glass and being agressive while i was with friends visiting from out of town. This happened repeatedly until I raised this type of behavior with their co-staff/subordinate who was nice by saying sorry and told her to stop. But dont let my review change your mind about coming here because i do want small businesses to succeed and I would probably come back again for the drinks and overlook this unpleasant experience. read more

Went here twice and was met by terrible service both times by the same waiter. Ever since we came in he was impatient and rude as if we were an eyesore. When it came to pay the bill, it came together so me and my friends were trying to calculate the per person price while the waiter was waiting impatiently. My sister was the last one to pay and she noticed an unknown $8 drink on the receipt that noone remembered buying (looking back now, it was probably the drink she "won" during dirty bingo). The waiter was extremely impatient so she paid for it anyways and didnt tip because she was already paying extra. I have never seen a grown man throw such a hissy fit. He stomped around loudly and cleaned the table by banging cutlery together and sarcastically borderline yelling "so great having you, so great serving you, oh do come again." The man the other people referred to as the owner (not sure if he actually was) was staring us down from the back. My sister and I did not feel safe and bolted out of there. Never coming back again. Shame because we enjoyed the bingo. read more
