When I walked in it's an assembly line type setup and I was barraged with an interrogation about what protein, how many sides while I tried to explain I just wanted a salad. When I saw the size of the container I asked if there was a large version and then was given a lesson in bowls vs sides and relative weight in grams. Seems I had to get a bowl with 2 x 100g salad but then also add a third something. I opted for beet salad which was unceremoniously dumped on top of the kale Caesar. It was decent, expensive. I didn't love all of the salads were in giant prep bins pre made (included dressing) and that didn't help the overall flavour. Maybe it's just me but I don't get it and I'm t sure I would go back.

I've visited twice--once for a weekday lunch and again for weekend brunch to celebrate completing my doctorate. During my first visit, I ordered the burger, which was juicy, flavourful, and exceeded my expectations. On my second visit, we both ordered the eggs Benedict, and they were just as impressive. I'm glad I had the chance to experience both the lunch and brunch menus. The space itself is one of the restaurant's strengths. I love the open-concept design, the clean and contemporary interior, and the inviting patio, which would be perfect on a sunny day. Unfortunately, the service was inconsistent. My first visit was perfectly fine, but during brunch the service fell short. It took an unusually long time to receive our bill, and throughout the meal it felt like our table was largely forgotten. Eventually, we had to flag down another server for assistance. To make matters more confusing, our original server brought the cheque only after we had already paid through the other staff member. While the service could definitely be more attentive, the excellent food, pleasant atmosphere, and reasonable prices are enough to make me want to return. I hope the service becomes more consistent because this restaurant has all the ingredients to be a standout dining destination.

It's casual, bright, and very much built around sharing a few plates and seeing where the meal takes you. Service from my visit matched the vibe. Relaxed, friendly, and efficient without hovering. We shared a few plates and grabbed a couple of their drinks as well. I went with the anchovy toast and tuna tostada. Both were delicious but the anchovy toast was my personal favorite. Salty, rich, and super savory, but balanced enough that you keep going back for another bite. The tuna tostada was light, fresh, and sitting on a crisp base that gave it that addictive crunch.

We found this as our initial destination had an absurd wait, and we left satisfied and pleasantly surprised. I saw pics online of what appeared to be large, juicy, and crispy fried chicken sandwiches sporting local hot sauces as the secret ingredients, and that's what brought us in. We ordered the crispy chicken sandwich with the Hot Duck chili crisp on it. Upon the bartenders rec we opted for the extra hot, which was a good call because it didn't really pack a punch to us chili heads, but had great flavor. The chicken was juicy and crispy, and the brioche bun was so soft and fluffy. All around a good sandwich, but we found it strange that they only offered it with chips, and no upgrade to fries, which were available as an add on order. As we ate our sandwich and waffle fries we realized there was no smell of oil in the air or sounds of a fryer, which had us scratching our heads. We looked for a hood too and noticed none. Eventually we realized that everything here is commercially air fried, which was both fun to learn and somewhat surprising. If this place had a fryer, it would be SO much better, but considering this limitation, it was solid. The sauce selection was huge too. I loved that you could taste them all and that they offered some amazing deals too. We found a few that warranted us checking a bag on the way back so we could enjoy them on the other side of the border, and I'm stoked they offer online ordering and shipping so we can get some more when they run out. All in all a solid experience. Staff was so friendly and accommodating. As a hot sauce store, this is a 5 star experience, as a restaurant, also good but just have the right expectations.

I came in to check for a sauce my friend asked for but stayed for a bite! Did I mention that this place is cheap AF!? I don't know how they do it but it's incredibly affordable and the quality of food is impressive! I got their Veggies on Fire (Cheddar, lettuce, sprouts, tomato, cucumber, green pepper, pickles, red onion, banana peppers, Dijon, spicy mayo - Hot Sauce: Dawson's Shawarma). This was $8. Plus I added waffle fries, which I don't even care for. But these were heavily seasoned and cooked to perfection. The sandwiches come with chips but you can't miss the fries. You can choose which breads you want and I choose sourdough. Highly recommend that you toast that bread. The sandwich was huge and staked with so many veggies. The hot sauce was very mild but paired so well. The service was phenomenal! Above and beyond and so friendly. The place gets quite busy, understandable, and they are still so patient and friendly. I can't wait to try their extensive menu and order their veggie friendly menu options! And, obvy, their 1000 hot sauces!

There are some small tables for two along with high tables. I ordered the 'hot' sandwich, chicken parm. I was expecting crispy chicken parm with yummy cheese and rich tomatoe sauce. Let's be honest, the star of this show is the bread! The baguette was warm, soft and so delicious. However, that's where the excitement stopped for me. The chicken with breading was soggy and the pesto and mozzarella was such a small amount, it felt like a soggy chicken sandwich with lots of bread. If they put more pesto dressing, more mozzarella cheese and more tomatoe sauce, I could have looked past the soggy chicken. All in all, I'm glad it tried it, the bread is amazing, and I'll come back to try a 'cold' sandwich to see if the other options are better!

The best part of the sandwich was the bread, they sourced it par baked from a bakery and finished it in store. it was amazing. For some reason (I expect cost) they stopped doing that and now get the bread from another of their locations. I would agree with some other reviews here, Mangia's is a bit expensive, but I and my friends were willing to pay for quality. The new bread they use is dry, tough and sub par, I tried to get used to it twice, but will not be going back. This review could have been one star but for the fact that the staff are amazing.
