This place honestly never fails to be impressive. A quaint little neighborhood spot that's a literal hidden gem that's nestled away on parliament. The place does look a little outdated, but I feel like this only adds to the charm. The staff are quite friendly, and if you go often enough they do get to know your names. I spotted a few locals that were on first name basis with the server at different tables, and it was so wonderful to be able to eat in my meal with kind of environment. I ordered chicken wings and fries. It's always on point! The skin is a little chewier than I like, and softer than I prefer. But the sauce is always so tasty and the quality of the chicken is always good. My counter parts ordered the voodoo chicken, which came with pasta. The chicken was soft and cooked well and even more so better flavoured. The pasta is a little rich, which made it quite satisfying. The last Friday we ordered was haddock and salad, I forgot to take the picture of this one. But it was such a great light dinner for a late night meal with friends. For dessert we ordered the bread pudding, which was shared by all. I do not regret one bit of ordering this incredibly rich dish. The sauce was such a compliment to this lightly sweetened bread pudding. We cannot wait to come back. read more

I am working in Cabbagetown area for many years, and have heard good things about this restaurant - especially its seafood items. Glad I finally had a chance to come here. Our group of 4 was surprised - their entrance looks humbly small but the inside was quite roomy using darker wood, which creates a cozy atmosphere. We had - Grilled Calamari - Home fries - Seafood Fusilli - Singapore Noodles - Voodoo Chicken Penne The grilled calamari was tender, with olive oil, capers, anchovy, parsley, lettuce & cherry tomatoes, and fresh lemon. It perfectly matched their garlic bread. Their home fries are crisp, fresh, and flavorful. The Singapore Noodles and Seafood Fusilli had large shrimps. The seafood in the Fusilli was generous and not overcooked, which proved their reputation to be true! I especially liked the Fusilli's sauce - a hint of sourness from Vodka lime completed the flavor. Well rounded. The Voodoo Chicken Penne had a nice Cajun flavor, rounded by the cream. The chicken was smoky and tender. The service was super friendly - felt welcomed. The customers seemed very relaxed, and came from the same neighborhood, just like us. Casual, but serves the great quality food. We were all happy :) read more

Run don't walk. It's been there a long time but not for much longer. Building has been sold and will be replaced with a new one. SO, get there for lunch and dinner. The staff are wonderful and whether it's your first time or you're a regular, you are family. We went back for the roast beef!!! Very old style inside with booths and tables. read more

We're here on a very chilly winter evening. Very friendly atmosphere. It is pub-looking, but cozy enough for a family dinner. Every time we come here, the food is delicious and just right. I've had their breakfast florentines. But the one dish that became the star for me was their Ultimate Burger, it is awesome. I highly recommend it. The burger has Montreal Smoked meat and lots of helpings on it. My wife got the Chicken Sandwich and it was crispy and delicious. Give their fries a try, it is crispy and flavourfull. For dessert, try the Key Lime pie - it is delicious! The one dish I will give a try next time is their Chicken Chimichanga, something that is hard to find. Overall, the food is fantastic and the prices are affordable. It's coming back here. I live fairly close to the area, so the walk to the restaurant is very convenient. read more

We stopped in while visiting in Toronto and had a wonderful meal. The hostess was very friendly. I highly recommend.

First time coming here after living in the area for 20+years. I can't believe that I wasted all those years not trying this spot. AMAZING burger and sticky toffee pudding. Definitely coming back again to try the rest of the menu read more

Just had a wonderful dinner delivered. The liver and bacon and onions - simply delicious. Tasted the seafood fucilli, which was full of salmon, shrimp, scallops in a yummy cream sauce. The portions are large. Leftovers - hooray. Everything was piping hot when it arrived! Did we mention the sticky toffee pudding? Gobbled the whole thing! read more

I don't know why Yelp did not want to show this restaurant on the map. I was standing right next to it, with the map zoomed in as close as I could, and it would show me 5 restaurants but not this one. Anyway, this is a very nice family restaurant, it feels like being in the countryside. Food was good, staff was nice. read more

Mixed feelings on this place. It has a very local mature cliental, and the staff does a good job at making everyone feeling welcome. I tried it twice, both times I would have to say the food was generous in portion size but lacking in quality. The food was more like something you would find in a truck stop along the highway. I would rather see less portion and more quality. They just introduced Sunday prime rib and it wasn't a winner. The deserts seem to be their best feature however I am not a desert person. I only ever order desert when I have not be satisfied with the meal. I wouldn't go back to Cranberries and if someone suggested it, I would try to suggest another place. read more

I came to this unassuming place through the recommendation of a friend and I was very pleased. The service was quick. Even though the restaurant was full we got served right away. Portions are a fair size and prices are decent. Very casual atmosphere. Everything looked great on the menu - I'll definitely be coming back again. PS. Their Apple Crumble was delicious! read more

Came here twice in the last couple months. The first time we got a chicken and seafood salad I believe, and the wings and ribs combo. I thought they were both delicious and my friend couldn't stop raving about the salad for weeks. We went again and got voodoo chicken penne, buffalo butts, Mexican chimichangas, and red velvet cake. Great portions, all delicious. I've been craving buffalo butts again for days. (I think that's the weirdest sentence I've ever written) read more

Rhank (yes on purpose) you for the despicable service and food. There is a certain discernment considering what hour it was 10:00 pm. Just because you're from the east coast and you might have a hard time getting the food served to the three patrons of your concern, the thousands of dollars ive dropped in your establishment could have been greeted with even remote appreciation. Believe me; the food isnt good enough to be treated like shit on top. Thanks for ALLOWING ME to OVERTIP 25% because I feel so fucking bad for you i wouldnt want you people to go home with more depression than you must already have. Thanks for taking my money. read more

Cranberries was recommended by a friend, I can understand why! Quality food, varied menu, NOT a burger joint but rather a nice place with quality dishes created by someone who cares about return business. All three of us started with soup, I had Gazpacho, my friends had French Onion and Seafood Chowder. All were very good and from scratch with fresh ingredients. Two of us had the special which was a penne with shrimp and chicken in a slightly spicy rose sauce. Sauce was from scratch and shrimp was done perfectly. Portion was good sized and filled me nicely. Our third had spicy chicken butts, they we spicy and tasty! The service was prompt and efficient AND the waitress had a personality that made the meal extra special. This will go on my list of regular stops. Highly recommended. read more

If they ask you to sit in the side room turn around and leave. I've been coming here for breakfast for years and overall give it a 7/10. On the days when I sit in the main dining room on early mornings, I give it a 9/10, with excellent sausages and good and frequently refilled coffee. We've also come for their Christmas and Thanksgiving fixed price menu and we've had a good time. But, in every case of where I've been sat in the side or overflow room, I've been forgotten, with ages to place my order, rarely a coffee refill, rude/curt service with snarky back talk, etc. Every dining chair in the side room is worn out so that you sink uncomfortably into the frame, presumably these chairs are surplus from some other place. I suppose if they're using the side room they are busier than usual, and that is reflected in their poor service. They should increase their staff when the side room is needed. So, if they seat you in the side room, turnaround, leave and go to Johnny G's for brunch or anyplace else for dinner. read more

The food was excellent and I can highly recommend the restaurant for the cuisine. However the service was appalling. We waited for our beverages and salty we requested a dessert menu after over half an hour our waitress had not returned to the table for our order. A shame, a nice evening ruined read more

Had been meaning to try this place for a long time, now that my kitchen is being renovated - now was the time. So we ordered the Spaghetti and Meatballs and the Voodoo Chicken Penne, and both were great, especially considering we did take out. The pasta tasted fresh, the sauces were very tasty, the meatballs juicy and lots of them, and the grilled chicken on the penne was perfectly cooked. The garlic bread was ok, but next time we will skip the extra order of garlic bread with cheese - nothing exciting, would have preferred just plain bread. Funniest part of the visit: the guy at the cash recognized me as a friend of a friend on Facebook! Small world. We will be back, both for take out and dine in. read more

I love Cranberries! I used to live in St James Town, and it's definitely one of the nicest places around to dine-in (and affordable too). The only con is that sometimes it's busy and there's usually only two servers working, so sometimes they don't check in on you too often. Order a pitcher of water upon your arrival so that you don't have to worry about them coming back to fill your glass. The food is brought out punctually, so no worries about that. The atmosphere is subdued and nice. Dark wood paneling and booths. It's an excellent place to bring a date. They also do take-out if you're alone and too shy to dine-in. read more

Not sure why everyone is so in love with this place so much, but it is good. There are only 2 reasons this place is even getting 4 stars - the deep fried pickles and the chicken wings. The deep fried pickles had an overpoweringly dill element which almost made them seem extra seasoned with dill and had a very unique breading around it. Unlike any other deep fried pickle I've had, and was impressed. The chicken wings were also super tasty with just the right amount of crispyness and medium saucing. Good stuff on those fronts. On the down side were the ribs. They were fall off the bone but the meat just seemed low grade, really didn't enjoy them at all. Boring beer selection too, mostly overpowered with lager and pilsner and nothing with real character or bold flavour. Service was spotty and on a slow weeknight with the place half empty they still only let groups of 3 or more sit in a booth. I'll probably give this place a go again just for the wings and deep fried pickles, not feeling to encouraged to branch out otherwise though. read more

It has a small town feel to it, this place, kind of like stepping into another dimension, possibly one in the 70's. The wait staff were all very friendly in that local genuine way, which is so nice to find downtown! Food was served with speed and let me tell ya- the beef dip! Many recommended, and let's face it, a sandwich made of garlic bread is going to be amazing. Gravy was excellent! (That's the second time this month I've come across amazing gravy! :D) This place is good for a quiet dinner with an old friend. It offers parties and whatnot but I don't know if I would like the noise level in such a small space. One thing that kind of bugged me was that they wouldn't give us a booth. They said they required them for groups of 3 or more. It was a Monday- not exactly known for overcrowding. I suppose they have their rules and reasons, but boooooooooo(th) to that. But hey if that's the only thing to complain about, then I would say the pros out weigh the con. :P read more

This cosy lil place feels like home to me. I ordered the chicken souvlaki and was very satisfied. The chicken and tzatsiki were delicious, Greek salad was good, and even the rice was yummy. My companions ordered chicken wings and chicken chimichangas, respectively, and were very happy with their meals. After dinner I had an Irish whisky, which was also fantastic. I definitely recommend this place if you want a filling meal in cosy atmospherel! But if you are a vegetarian, I would avoid - I didn't see any vegetarian dishes on the menu. read more

Good Home-style food served with some flare. We started with Bruschetta which was more than enough to share. The flavours were outstanding and the bread was broiled just right to be crispy and easily manageable. I had the Liver & Onions which also came with bacon. The presentation was very pleasing and flavour was excellent. Bob had the Blackened Halibut which was also served with a little pizzazz and very tasty, I had to sample. The only note was the garnish on the fish was not for anyone who does not liked a little heat/spice to their food. Service was pleasant and attentive..... A good deal for a good price and impresses anyone who visits the restaurant. read more

I use to come to this place very often and I loved it. But for some reason it changed, they r super rude and do not acknowledge the customers. Last two times I went to have brunch it took forever for someone to ask us to seat and the food took a super long time and everytime we askes for something they will take the time and keep forgeting things. And then the next time the same took forever to let us have a seat (and there was tables available) then when we finally sat down, we waited at the table for about 10 mins, the waitress passed by us 5 times, we did not have a menu and not even drinks, so we stand up and when we going towards the door to leave, the server yelled at us that she was going to be with us in a second and came running to take our order. We just left and we are not coming back, such a shame, i use to like the food. Never going back again :( read more

Cranberries - what it lacks in atmosphere it makes up for with wings, especially on a Monday night when there's a deal. The food is standard pub/ North American fair, but done well enough to make this a reliable food stop in the Cabbagetown area. Lighting is bright, seats and decor aren't up to much, but friendly staff, cold drinks and those delicious wings make for a decent option. read more

Was planning to go to cranberries and meet three other guest for breakfast. After having to wait for the hostess she informed me that I could not bring in a cup of Starbucks coffee from outside into there restaurant.That it was against the law. I informed her that I would actually buy a coffee and had no issue doing that she told me that I couldn't enter the restaurant with that cup. Unsure where she got her law degree. But what a crazy rule of their restaurant. Not only did we go somewhere else I will never frequent that restaurant again . Just over a two dollar cup of coffee !! Stupid business choice on their part. Sad way to run a business !! so long cranberries you've lost my business forever. read more

I was displaced due to a home flood and was without kitchen for a few months... got to know a number of restaurants in the neighborhood, and definitely enjoyed returning to this one a couple of times a week. The homemade soups are delicious, the (guilty as charged) chicken strips are very tasty, and their selection of daily specials - always hearty. Oh and the "Dana Caesar" (drink) is delicious. read more

This place was nicer inside than I expected. Went with a friend who recommended them for their 79 cent wings on Mondays. Wings were nicely sized, not puny little things with no meat. I got honey garlic on my wings, it was a mediocre sauce-I have had better and worse. We shared a sticky toffee pudding for dessert that was really tasty. And the staff was busy but polite. Would return for wing night special. read more

My goat cheese fritter salad with shaved pear was delicious. However, there was nothing French about my French Onion Soup. The few chopped onions had not been caramelized as is done in any other restaurant I've been in, as well as every cook book I've used. While the chicken broth was tasty and the cheese nicely stringy, the bread underneath it had not been toasted so it became soggy. Better to leave off the word "French" from the menu. read more

Live in the neighborhood went on a Sunday afternoon hung over as hell didn't know what I felt like eating my friend ordered a cheeseburger I ordered the steak and eggs. Steak and egg were okay the usual but I really wish I would've ordered the cheeseburger holy cow what was I thinking took a bite and I was in heaven awesome!! Had to go back and get my own cheeseburger which I did and it was worth every bite. read more

A hidden gem! You would never know by the looks of this place from the outside. Food has never disappointed me so far. The prices are fair, portions are more than enough and the service is excellent. They have a special every night of the week which makes you want to go eat there everyday. I've only been there twice now. Sunday (Prime Rib Steak with veggies and mashed potatoes for $14.99 or Roast beef dinner with soup or salad, veggies, Yorkshire pudding and dessert $17.99). The first time I'd gone was a Monday ($0.70 jumbo wings - max 10, but like I said they are jumbo sized or you can order the shepherds pie - haven't tried yet, but looked delish when I saw others ordering it). I also have eaten their bruschetta which is great to share for an appetizer between 4 people and it's absolutely the way I like it (soft and crispy/toasted) at the same time. The chicken and shrimp pasta was large and cooked very well. Again this place is a hidden gem and now that I've found it I will be going back again and again. read more
