    Great place that's very unique. Went on a Monday where the menu is all 50%. Great bang for your buck. We got the king nachos for about $15 after discount. It was huge and filled up two people. They have cheap pitchers. I believe each pitcher was about $12 which is a great place to drink. Would come back!

    The sneakiest thing about this place is the all Mexican menu despite seemingly no connection to Mexico? Dee-licious though!

    Tacos with beans, rice, and salad.

    Grabbed a holiday dinner with some friends. The seats are kind of hard (bordering on hostile architecture but that's just because we're old) but the ambiance is great if you don't mind shouting and the food is great. Waitstaff are friendly. An icon of Toronto.

    The beer I had

    In all our years in and out of Toronto and I don't think we have ever been to Sneaky Dee's. Unless we were here a long time ago and don't remember. It's the kind of place that should be memorable but with enough beers it is totally possible that we just can't recall. Regardless, we stopped in on Tuesday night just to say we had been here. And we were happily surprised. Not surprised that it is a shining example of dive bar esthetics, because it it the real deal on that account. The surprise were how pleasant the place is (comfortable in its well worn punk rock and roll patina), and the Tuesday deal prices were amazing. I can't remember the last time I got a pint of beer for $5. We didn't eat but everyone else was enjoying heaping plates of half-price fajitas (the other Tuesday night special). We are definitely coming back for some of those as soon as we can. Also they have half-price nachos on Monday nights, so another reason to drop in again soon. Staff were great - chill welcoming vibes all round. Happy to report that Sneaky Dee's is the prefect version of itself.

    Graffiti filled interior of Sneaky Dee's

    Sneaky Dee's -- Poor service, less than satisfactory food, missing advertised specials, and closed when supposedly open. A friend of mine knows the owner of Sneaky Dee's in Toronto, Canada, so he talked me into going. Sneaky Dee's is a family run restaurant located about 1.5 miles/2.41 km West of the main downtown of Toronto. It is like a diner, but the entire place is purposefully decorated by graffiti. If my friend had not been with me the first time I went to the restaurant, I would have turned around and ran out the door. The first time we went to Sneaky Dee's, although supposedly open at 11 am, there was a note on the door, "Opens at 4 pm." So, we had to find another restaurant. The second time we went, it was open, and my friend chatted to the owner; we had their breakfast special, but no artificial sweetener for coffee, no jam or peanut butter for toast, and the breakfast was at best mediocre. The third time we went at about noon, Again, there was a note on the door, "Opens at 4 pm." so again, we went to another restaurant. After the third time, I really had enough with this greasy spoon, but today, my friend begged me to give Sneaky Dee's another chance. He said that they advertised a lunch special menu 11 am to 4 pm with a number of great $8 sandwiches -- grilled cheese, BLT, Chicken Breast, Philly Steak, etc., all served with coleslaw and choice of potatoes. He was hoping for the Philly Steak sandwich. Well, we go to the restaurant about 2:45 pm. We were given menus, but there was no lunch special menu. He asked the server about the lunch special menu, especially about the Philly Steak and $8 lunch menu. She said it was not available and told us to look at the menu and she walked away. He was really disappointed, but I suggested we try the bacon and eggs breakfast. When the server returned, we ordered the breakfast and coffee. She brought us coffee, but no cream or sugar. After we got her attention, she brought us a total of two creamers and three packets of sugar. Again, no sweetener. The breakfast was served. The fruit consisted of a quarter of an orange wedge and two blueberries. My friend got a tablespoon full of potatoes and his sunny side up eggs were over done. My poached eggs were okay, but half my potatoes were as cold as refrigeration, and the other half was lukewarm. We were given no jam. The server never smiled and seemed irritated when we asked her for anything. When we asked for jam, she brought us each one miniscule packet of jam. She never offered us more coffee, so we had to catch her attention again. She brought us coffee and no cream or sugar. Again, she had to be called back and again appeared unhappy with us. She never refilled our water glasses and never asked us if our food was satisfactory. We called her for the bill. When she came, she threw the bill on the table and placed the POS terminal on the bill, so we could not see the bill. My friend told her he wanted to pay by cash. She took the money from his hand without saying a word. She came back with the change and put it on the table without a word to either of us. I convinced my friend to leave no tip. He was upset by the whole experience and told me he was going to contact his friend the owner about what happened. There are many family run restaurants and diners in Toronto that are far superior to Sneaky Dee's I told my friend that Sneaky Dee's was one of the worst restaurants in Toronto for service and food. I stated that I would never come back to this restaurant, and I would write a Yelp Review that would recommend no one else eat at Sneaky Dee's either.

    If you visit here, come hungry; they have huge portions with fast and friendly service. My boyfriend and I shared the king's crown nachos; it was well seasoned and tasty. There was plenty of all the toppings. If you like spicy, add their special hot sauce to bites with salsa on it; it really enhances the flavor. Their homemade sauce has a sour vinegary flavor similar to Tabasco. This is a pretty casual pub-like establishment. My boyfriend is a big Scott Pilgrim fan, and this establishment was featured. It was a great stop on our tour of filming locations. All-in-all, it was a good time!

    Northern Blues Nachos

    Favourite place for nachos! They have big portions and are pretty generous with the toppings, so it's good for sharing. I recommend both the DFA nachos and the Northern Blues. Monday is half off all menu items, and Wednesday is half price on nachos. Service here can be kind of slow, and they usually have pretty loud music playing so it might be hard to hear people talk, but it's a vibe.

    Only $4?!?!???

    Even with all the exotic cultural delicious food at your fingertips, sometimes all you want after a long week is a cold beer and cheesy nachos. Sneaky Dee's is basically a Toronto institution and delivers on both in a great dive bar atmosphere. We had $4 beers and shared a plate of simple nachos (chips, cheese and salsa) to recover from a particularly brutal week. You can admire the decor and read the endless graffiti messages scrawled on every available flat surface as you gulp beer and munch. They have some very fancy nacho options but the portions are generous. One order can be easily split between three people for a snack or two as a meal. We were barely able to finish ours even though we arrived hungry. Well worth it! Very friendly staff also!

    The food was excellent and the service was great. Ambiance was expectedly rough but fun. You want a good dive? Head straight to Sneaky Dee's.

Pierina guided us via phone and even came outside of the restaurant and waved as we approached. That was awesome Customer service as well as kindness. Ambiance was chill inside. Especially liked the artwork and table with their name on it. I had the Nutella latte, Nutella and strawberry waffle, and a side of sausage. Didn't like the sausage at all (tasted a bit gamey) but that's probably because ein the states there are nitrates, etc that make it taste better. No biggie! She switched it out for bacon, and that was fine and appreciated. My sister had the breakfast tacos that looked delicious and she really enjoyed. All in all this was a great pick and I would return when im Canada ever again and I'm in the area. Keep up the great work, Pierina. Her welcoming attitude attentiveness and knowledge of the menu was stellar and warrants recognition. Thank you!!!

I ordered a latte and grabbed two goodies for the road, a raspberry croissant and a ginger molasses cookie. The staff working were welcoming and friendly and my items were ready rather quickly. Once I got back to my hotel, I settled in to enjoy and get some work done. My latte was smooth and creamy and just what I needed to get my day started. My raspberry croissant was beautiful and packed full of flavor. The filling wasn't too sweet and there was just the right amount inside. I saved my cookie for a snack while I traveled home later that day. I love how it had chunks of sugared ginger on top. The cookie had the perfect amount ​of chew to it and the ginger on top added an extra burst of ginger. It was lovely. I'm so glad I found this cafe on Yelp and I highly suggest you pay them a visit. I'm still dreaming of all the pastries I didn't get to try.

A quick Yelp check pointed me to this spot a brisk eight-minute walk from Queen Station on Yonge, and I'm so glad I made the detour instead of heading to one of my usual haunts. I was seated immediately. The place has lots of seating -- high tops, tables and booths -- and a cool, eclectic vibe: comfy chairs, interesting wall photos, eggshell light fixtures and cheerful yolk‑yellow and orange tones. Big glass windows make it a fun people‑watching spot, and the open kitchen lets you see the cooks hustling away. I ordered the classic breakfast (just over $18): two scrambled eggs -- soft and perfect -- plus herb potatoes fried in beef tallow (I swapped those for lightly dressed artisan greens). You choose your protein -- bacon, Canadian bacon, rosemary ham, chicken, or pork bangers -- and I went with the hardwood‑smoked bacon: three perfectly cooked slices. Coffee was ethically sourced, and my mochaccino hit the sweet spot -- not too sugary. All in all 10 out of 10. I plan to try their gluten free waffle next time. Extras worth noting: they offer booze, smoothies, juices, and a $4.75 "coffee bump" (1 oz of Irish cream, Kahlúa, whiskey, bourbon, brandy, or Grand Marnier). Eggs are free‑run. Service was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable -- got me in and out without feeling rushed, back at my desk before 1 pm. I'll definitely be back -- next time with friends so I have an excuse to order everything on the menu. Highly recommend for anyone who needs a well‑made, comforting breakfast-anytime (and possibly a legal excuse for a midday coffee bump).

And make sure you get ahead of the crowd at the door, because it was a bit chaotic, and people who were waiting at the door didn't even realize there was a waitlist. The waitlist was easy - host took our name and phone number - and texted when the table was ready. Food was delicious and although the prices seemed high, the portions were actually very big. I had the "I'll have it all" - and this was a perfect mix of everything, but I couldn't finish it! My boyfriend got pancakes - same for him - he couldn't finish it because it was so rich! I'd definitely go back for the food - but would share dishes instead. The only catch is that it was too fast paced for me.
