    Nacho

    Sneaky Dee's is a solid spot for cheap drinks and huge nachos. We went for the King's Crown, and honestly, I don't think the pic does it justice, it's massive! We ended up with a huge pile that could probably feed like 2.5 people as a meal on its own. Check out the pic I snapped next to my pint of beer for size reference. Upstairs there's live music with rotating events. Just an affordable dive bar with Tex Mex menu at the corner of Bathurst and College. Chill vibe when we went around dinner time ~7pm on the weekend.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    The food was awful. I ordered the vegetarian enchiladas, and I've never had enchiladas served with…read moreraw zucchini and carrots. On top of that, the entire meal arrived cold. It got worse. When I went to the basement washroom, I swear I saw what looked like the end of a mouse's tail sticking out from under the door. Needless to say, I completely lost my appetite. When the waiter asked how everything was, I told him honestly that it was terrible. I had only taken two bites, and there was really no response. I wouldn't have wanted a replacement anyway after that experience. I also had some fruit bites, and about 10 minutes later my stomach started gurgling. By the time I got home, I felt awful. I was shivering, felt like I was going to throw up, and had to rush to the bathroom. It honestly felt like food poisoning. And I still paid for my meal Unfortunately, I can't recommend this place.

    Visited this spot as its close to the museum and Casa Loma. The strong reviews looked promising so…read moreI decided to book a reservation here. The place is a bit small so it can be a bit tight so I would highly recommend having reservations if you have a large group. Tacos: The soft and the crispy tacos were both delicious. The tinga chicken and the beef barbacoa were juicy and full of flavour. The portions was fair, the quality was a standout and tasted quite authentic. Overall, I really had a great experience at Playa Cabana, totally would come here again to try out their other dishes.
