The food (nachos) was incredible! Great portions for great prices! This place is a classic and we will be returning next time we're in Toronto! read more

Bouncers have anger management issues and seek out opportunities to get physically violent, unprovoked. Irresponsible, ego-driven bouncers and failure to do anything about it from management make this place dangerous for customers. Nothing but unprofessional and against the PSISA code of conduct. Should have their licenses revoked and put into anger management training. I've worked in the restaurant, bar, and club industry for 10 years before moving on. From any of the variety of places I have worked, classy to sketchy, this conduct from a bouncer would never be tolerated or happen in the first place. Hire bouncers who deescalate situations, not escalate them and provoke confrontation. I've now seen many incidents like this- but here's an example from last night. My female friend having an even-toned conversation in disagreement, bouncer starts full lung screaming in their face for "talking back", slinging insults (racist, misogynistic, whatever they can come up with), bumping chest against her and trying to physically fight. Another bouncer has to physically hold him back while he continues to try to break loose. Manager gives no indication of disciplinary measures. Will never return, there are other equivalent venues that have solid staff. read more

Came for a trivia night on the 2nd floor. 5-star service from our server Natalie the whole night. Nachos lived up to their billing. We got the pulled pork version, and Natalie put the habaneros on the side, which the spice-phobes in the group appreciated. Loaded nachos is definitely the way to go; the a la carte option becomes more expensive fast. The nachos were a full dinner for the 3 of us. There was lots of pulled pork, sliced avocados, plus a huge mound of guac and of course tons of cheese. The drinks were served ice cold. I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the vibe of the place is a little young for me, but I'll definitely be back for the nachos, beers, and great service. read more

Great, punky, graffiti covered bar. We'd spotted it from the bus coming back from the Royal Ontario Museum and it took us another day or so to actually get to the location and it was totally worth it! Pretty good beer selection, lots of Canadian adjuncts to try. Like a lot of places, they give you the 20oz beer pour which is amazing. Also like most of the bars, the liquor drinks are strictly measured, which is just fine. Bar tenders are efficient, not overly friendly, and that's fine. Great lunch menu. You can get a "small" burrito for $6 CDN. "Small" being the size of a standard Chipotle burrito. That "small" burrito filled up two of us easily. We heard they're famous for their nachos but after eating a "small" burrito and drinking a couple 20oz pints, there wasn't room for the nachos. Next time, though! They have an upstairs for live music and shows. read more

I am so sorry to say the Sneaky Dees I loved in the 80's & 90's is no more. Returning after 21 yrs away the burrito I had loved had been given a pulled pork option. bad mistake on my part. every chef thinks they have a good pulled pork recipe. No. Not this one. Had he instead chosen the knorr packet of seasoning for pulled pork he would have been ok. Why is sugar the dominating flavour of the entire dish. Instead a sickening sweetness overtook everything on the plate. barf. read more

My friend and I finally decided to check out Sneaky Dee's and I must say it was definitely an experience. My first initial impression when I walked in was the place really had a punk/rock vibe. Also, the entire place was covered with graffiti from head to washroom. It was fairly busy for 3pm - so we did have to wait a bit to get seated which was fine. I chose one of their combination plates called the "Baja" which contains 1 small veggie burrito stuffed with frijoles (refried beans) and 1 veggie enchilada. The dish is also served with ensalada (salad) and Mexican rice. Its normally hard to be impressed with a vegetarian dish but wow this was good. The burrito and enchilada were stuffed well and the Mexican rice was seasoned well enough to eat alone. I also ordered the sangria pitcher to share which tasted good. There was a fair amount of wine but I did notice they put a hefty amount of ice which ended up diluting the drink towards the end. Overall, if you're looking to experience a different taste of Toronto then you should definitely check out Sneaky Dee's! read more

Mmmmm breakfast. I made my way downtown to Sneaky Dee's to meet friends for breakfast; I cannot say no to that. The Avocado Eggs Benny caught my eye and I was sold. It was great! The homefries and their coffee are delicious. Hollandaise sauce was on point. Service was friendly and quick. It was my first time there, so I was distracted by their busy decor. There is something to read or look at at every angle! From reading the other reviews, I'm having a bit of fomo. ;) read more

Rating: 3 1/2* I know this place has been around since the mid 90's, back when I was in university. I have never been here even during my "younger" and "wilder" days. My wife and I came over the weekend as we took advantage of being out during the nice weather. The place was fairly busy and we were able to get a booth. The decor is more of a dive bar. Loud music, posters of upcoming concerts on the wall. Large amount of seats available whether it's at the front of the restaurant or near the back. No natural light available at the back. Made the mistake of ordering the King Crown Nachos as appetizer as this could have been a meal unto itself. Huge portions along with all of the ingredients in abundance. This was pretty good. However, we also ordered the Homemade Burger with fries along with the Chicken Burrito. Let's just say that we did not finish these dishes. The hamburger patty was delicious while the fries were average at best. The burrito had generous amount of chicken along with rice and beans. It was a wet burrito style. Service was decent. There's no refills on soft drinks and menu has a large selection of Tex Mex dishes. The food is not exceptional but at least they give you large portions of it. #55 of 2018 read more

I came here for breakfast and ordered the pork Benedict special. Eggs are done right. Pork & potatoes are filthy in a good way. Bottomless coffee and the waiter was very generous when it comes to offering refills. I know, you probably don't think breakfast when you think Sneaky dee's. But check it out if you are in the area, it's pretty good. read more

Sneaky Dee's - Pork Benedict special - Tex-Mex Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Went for dinner on Thursday August 6th with family. Have been there twice some time back but have not reviewed as of yet. Started off with a customary veggie nachos and avocado spring roll. Usually we have had the fried version, this time around we tried the grilled option. The veggie nachos were good as usual but the rest of group thought the quantity has decreased compared to last time. The grilled spring rolls are not worth it. Although good for you, the grilled does not make it worthwhile. We ordered a veggie burger and fries (have the burger at Harvey's instead), Quesadilla, Burrito Grande and a Baja combination platter. The quesadilla seemed more like a burrito rather than a quesadilla and with practically no cheese. We have had this before and it has come flat (not shaped like a burrito) and with tons of cheese. Had to send it back as it was not at par. The replacement came similar to the first one in spite of telling the waiter what we have had earlier. The Grande Burrito had no flavour or salt at all and so was the Baja. I have had better burritos at bandidos and Burrito Boyz. No fault of the waiter, but I think something has changed in the kitchen / management. Here is something else is going to change. We are not coming back. read more

Yeah okay Summy here. This place is a vibe okay? Both a venue and a restaurant. Our manager signed his marriage papers here, so we know it's special to a cool group of locals. The atmosphere really is what makes this space what it is. The service is hella friendly okay. This place had me sumn for tha service. Had great conversations with a couple of the employees. We ordered Nachos. Two large things of them. They were what you'd expect from a venue/restaurant. Unique toppings and a creative menu give this place to xtra cool cool points. 3.5/5 food 5/5 service This place is sumn special. Definitely would recommend for good vibes and unique casual foods. read more

Came here with 9 of my friends, we arrived at 1am. The server took about 15 minutes to attend to us, we placed food and drink orders with the server and the drinks arrived 15 minutes later, they were all bottle orders so 15 minutes is pretty bad. When the food arrived it tasted bland and smelled even worse, I'm pretty sure I was eating dog food. Chicken tacos shouldn't taste like rotting chickpeas with canned crab meat, I wouldn't serve this food to prisoners at Guantánamo Bay. The beer was "on sale" but still managed to burn my wallet. Granted the place was busy and I will give credit to the server as she was the rabbit caught standing on the yellow line of a 2 lane highway. But.. That's no excuse for management to provide a busy restaurant with no staff, I've been in Toronto for the last 15 years and this place has never EVER had a good reputation for its food or it's service. I'm flat out never coming to this place again, no more excuses guys, fix your menu, clean your kitchen and put more effort into serving actual Mexican dishes and maybe your food won't taste like horse blanket. read more

Sneaky Dee's - Tex-Mex Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

6 years ago I visited Sneaky Dee's for the very first time and it changed my nacho eating life forever. Ever since then I've made it a point to take every single person i show around the beautiful city of Toronto to Sneaky Dee's to get the same experience. I came here on Saturday night with a couple of friends from Connecticut who were both hungry and probably annoyed by how much I said i wanted to come here. When we arrived there was a little bit of a wait since it was a Saturday night (definitely not a complaint, busy ain't a bad a thing). Once we were seated our drinks were served and my friends took a bit to look at the menu. My major complaint is the 3 people I was with DID NOT WANT NACHOS, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM????? Okay, moving on, I ended up ordering the Sloppy Jose which was a sandwich with homemade chili and served with french fries. Like everything else I've ever had at Sneaky Dee's, I absolutely loved the Sloppy Jose! The meat inside had a great unique taste that I'm honestly drooling over as I type this. The french fries were pretty basic, but also really good. Overall, this place continues to exceed the expectations for both my appetite and the appetite of whoever I take here. I've never personally had a bad experience with any of the body guards or staff members because I've never given them a reason to get pissed off. If you like good fun, a cool environment, and nachos, you definitely need to check this place out. read more

Recently much better than before. They have upped their game. Incredibly good plain nachos. Incredibly good wings. Thanks!

An iconic Toronto dive bar. My fave dish is their nachos - a meal in itself for 2 people. They have meat and veggie options and sometimes Toronto bands will come and create their own nacho combination! They have daily drink/good specials which is always good. They have drinks and dancing upstairs too! read more

Sneaky Dee's - Great selection of nachos, they have something for everyone. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Those nachos...they give me life. I would never even think about nachos from anywhere else ever again if I were local to this spot. It is rare that something so simple can make me feel so spiritual and yet here we are. And no I was not drunk at the time, but the drinks were good as well. The atmosphere is absolutely fascinating...graffiti all over the place and worn surfaces. not really my vibe, but the party thing is definitely admirable. unfortunately, service was slow and unfriendly, bathrooms were kind of dirty, and the lack of bill splitting is understandable from a management standpoint but horribly inconvenient for a group. However, I can see why this place is a fixture. Those nachos, man. Insane. read more

DO NOT come here for the apple pie. I was told it was made fresh in house but I can promise you that it is not. I know what fresh apple pie tastes like. My dad is a fat person. Like really fat. I can tell it hurts him to walk because when he stands up he always says "oh my god it hurts me to walk," and my mom cries about it when she uses the washroom. I know she's not doing a poo for that long because I can hear her crying pretty loud and it doesn't smell bad in there after she's done. They are probably going to get divorced but I think she feels obligated to stay with him until my younger brother moves out. The crust was actually ok but the pie filling left much to be desired. Waiter had his nails painted too. Not that anything is wrong with that, just something I noticed and really hated a lot. Three stars. read more

Most people associate Sneaky Dee's with amazing Nachos. I on the other hand did not have the greatest experience. I walked in at around 2pm on Friday, there were maybe 8-10 people in the whole restaurant. I slid into a booth and waited for about 10 minutes for a server (not the biggest deal), I then waited another 10 minutes for my whiskey ginger, I overlooked it. I didn't really like the service, it always took more than 20 minutes for the server to come back with water or drinks. Regardless of my server, I was there to check out the famous nachos. I ordered the most popular; King's Crown (salsa, ground beef, tomatoes, onions, peppers, jalapeños peppers, melted cheese, guac & sour cream)...... what a disappointment. If this place was busy, I would be able to forgive them for this order but it was dead so why were the nachos so bad? First off, there was no flavour in the Guac, they should change it from Guac to Mashed Avocado because that's what it was. The beef also didn't have much flavour but was masked with the salsa and peppers. You know what happens to cheese when it cools? That's exactly what I got. Cold, hard cheese. I was expecting some melty cheese. I don't think I would go back, it's not worth my time and don't bother speaking to anyone or maybe my server was just tired. Keep Eating, Angela read more

Sneaky Dee's - Kings Crown Nachos (my camera takes good photos but don't be deceived) - Tex-Mex Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Fiiiinally made it in to try Sneaky's world-or at least gta, famous nachos and couldn't have asked for a more perfect plate of them! Had the King nachos and they had everything on them that I would put on my dream plate of nachos. The guac was divine and a definate generous portion. I think it will be tough to find a better heap of nachos in this city. Had a pretty good selection of local beers which was ice cold and an obvious compliment to a plate of nachos. Our server was great. Attentive and easy to track down when needed. Love the vibe and cool decor of this legendary establishment. Can't wait to return and would definately recommend. read more

Horrible service. Was literally scolded at by a server for drinking water standing up from our table. When asked why she just lost it. Definitely a zero tip and never return situation. Unacceptable to treat someone like that for any reason. Ever. read more

General manager does NOT take any accountability or fire security guards who have assaulted customers. There have been 3 incidents in the last few months and I've seen first-hand at how aggressive their security guards can be. One security guard punched a woman in the face, dragged her down the stairs and kicked her friend all because she had a vape in her hand. She was not being aggressive and there was no warning. Get your shit together before you lose all your customers. Fire security guards who get an ego boost from beating up people that are half the size of them. Gross. Never coming back to any event after hearing about many situations similar. read more

This is a great spot to hang out. The vegan nachos were really good (but the pulled pork enchilada and burrito were quite horrible...they were soaked in barbecue sauce and that's really all I could taste). I'd come back, but definitely sticking to the nachos! read more

Went here after work with a couple friends and they had (surprisingly) amazing food! I've only known Sneaky Dee's as a small concert venue and a bar, but never figured they served decent food. Definitely worth a try. Food: 4/5 I got the Jalisco (1 enchilada & 1 taco served with rice, frijoles & ensalada) and it was pretty filling. The enchilada is pretty big and it is filled with your choice of meat. The taco was very cheesy and like the enchilada, packed with meat. There was also a decent portion of rice and a very generous portion of beans that I unfortunately didn't finish Price: 4/5 For bar food the price was pretty reasonable. You are getting decently good food for fair prices. The Jalisco that I ordered was $13 and was enough as dinner. I also got a beer for $4.50, which is an alright price read more

Hmmmmm, disappointed about this place. Nachos were a weird mishmash of ingredients with rice and did not feel or tasted like nachos, I ordered a quesadilla that barely had cheese and had tons and tons of onion instead (also onion was a bit raw and not very flavourful). My friend ordered a burger but it was so dry that she needed three bags of ketchup to be able to swallow it (and they charged her an extra dollar for it). Beer and shots are OK. Also they do not let you split the bill, which is weird. read more

Sneaky Dee's - My not so cheesy quesadilla - Tex-Mex Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Sneaky Dee's has, in my mind, long-since established itself as one of Toronto's foremost and most reliable purveyors of top-notch nachos. I've ordered the King's Crown many, many times over the years, and I've never been disappointed. We decided to meet at Sneaky's after work on a hot, humid Friday, and I was happy to note that the patio was almost empty. (If the weather provides for a patio experience in late September, one is more than willing to jump at the opportunity.) Though I'd love to try something else on their menu, we of course ordered the King's Crown nachos (Crisp corn tortilla chips covered with salsa roja, piled high with frijoles, ground beef, tomatoes, onions, mixed peppers, jalapenos, melted cheese, topped with guacamole & sour cream). Many restaurants and pubs across the city offer nachos with a similar list of toppings, and yet most prove unable to create the singular experience of the Sneaky Dee's plate of nachos. The biggest advantage the joint has over its various competitors is its refusal to skimp on any of the aforementioned toppings; virtually every nacho contains a bite of something delicious, and it goes without saying that there are hardly any naked nachos to be found here (which is sadly all-too-common with most plates of nachos). It's clear, as well, that the use of seemingly homemade ingredients plays a significant role in the King's Crown's massive success. I can't tell you how many times I've ordered nachos and almost wept at the use of canned salsa. The other ingredients are prepared equally well and although the bottom layer does tend to get soggy (a common complaint, I've noticed), I'll happily take a few mushy nachos over a heaping assortment of undressed ones. The whole thing is topped with an almost ridiculously generous helping of sour cream and guacamole, and honestly, I was in nacho heaven the entire time I was eating. Sneaky Dee's, do not change a thing. read more

Ordered delivery. Won't again. Their descriptions are way off what they provide. They are aware the descriptions are wrong (sometimes completely wrong) or they sent the wrong food and just said it was right in order to not fix it. The potato skins (yes "s") is one piece, less than half a potato with a bit of melted cheese. Not crispy just barely baked and lightly melted cheese. We thought it was a mistake as their description says "all the skins" and explicitly says 2 pcs. It also says a choice of child, veg, taco beef or beans. We called about the discrepancy and they said no it is only one piece with just cheese. We ordered the mexi-dip platter, which is supposed to be (according to the menu) chips, salsa, beans etc. (even a picture of that) But we got a plain cheese quesadilla with salsa... but we were told that is what the mexi-dip is. I said they need to fix their menu descriptions. She said "uh hu" and hung up. jalapeño popers were okay. read more

The best place for nachos in all of Toronto. We traveled from NYC for this. Nothing compares to the Kings Crown Nachos, they are everything your heart desires. On the Team Awesome scale of 1-10 (with 10 being the most delicious): - Crispiness/Sogginess level: 7 pretty good (with the exception of all the beans in the middle) - Topping distribution: 9 - Quality of toppings: 8 - Price value: 5 (at CAD$24 a bit on the expensive side) Overall rating: 8 read more

Pretty nice vibe and good service at this fine establishment. Some things I remember trying here: Cactus in the valley nachos: this is a massive dish, and has a good level of heat, just enough heat to add to the dish without detracting from it. Tons of everything. Hot wings: these were pretty tasty, a reasonable amount of sauce and a good size. I think they could survive as a wings place. Jalapeno poppers: lots of cheese, but a lack of heat. Taste-wise it's not my thing though. read more

We ended up here on Friday night after a few other places , you just can't go wrong with Dee's , it's always fun it's great vibes and delicious food and drinks we had such a nice night after a couple bad experiences prior, I feel so bad that this venue will be closing eventually that staff was great per usual and my food I ordered was great along with the drinks considering on the busyness , we had great service our cocktails showed up promptly not to fast but definitely not late beside the odd drunken boy we had a great end to our night Will definitely go back a few more time before closing Cheers Robyn I'm new to reviews I've always wanted to start doing this I'm very excited about sharing my experiences with my people read more

Went here for the first time and got a taco and enchilada platter. Large portions for a good price. Got a pulled pork taco which was great....but the chicken enchilada seriously lacked in flavour. It got saved by the sour cream and other sides my friend got with his dish. The server was very nice and kind, and the drinks were well made and reasonably priced. Overall would come back again and try something else on their huge menu. read more

I'd heard so many good things about Sneaky Dee's from people I know who live in Toronto. My trip was strictly for food (I would love to go back to experience Emo Night). Ambience was right up my alley when I was 16. I loved the graffiti walls and punk rock look. Nothing to rave about but it gave me lots of feelings of nostalgia. My only complaint however was the blaring metal to the point where even our server couldn't hear our orders. I didn't mind the metal, but others in my group weren't thrilled. The food was delicious (could've been a teeny but more seasoned for a Mexican place). The frijoles were amazing and I could've eaten a disgusting amount of them. We had the Kings Crown nachos and Sneaky's Dip. The nacho were loaded with toppings and pretty tasty. I would've liked more chips though. The guacamole they put on top, holy shit was the best guacamole I've ever had, I would've eaten it with a freakin spoon it was so good. The sneakys Dip was basically a quesadilla with hot sauce on the side but it was delicious. Lots of cheese and the tortilla was crispy on the outside. For the main course, my sister had tacos which looked delicious and didn't fall apart, a huge bonus! My fiancé had pulled pork enchiladas which were amazing as well. The pulled pork had great flavour, he said it was his new fave pulled pork. My parents both had enchiladas and both said they were stuffed full of meat. The only negative was we had to pay for refills for our pop. I don't remember the last time I went somewhere where soft drink refills weren't free. Service was okay. Our waiter was polite but we waited quite a while for simple desserts (ice cream and pie). They didn't really have the place split into sections. I'd definitely go back strictly for the guac and frijoles. read more

I was staying in an Airbnb by this restaurant and it was always busy so one morning I stopped by for breakfast. The place itself is really neat. There is graffiti and posters covering every inch of space on the walls. The service was good and the portion was large. I got a breakfast burrito which came with rice, beans and a salad. The burrito itself was fine. Not quite flavorful enough but a good experience overall. read more

KINGS CROWN NACHOS = DELICIOUS Went to Sneaky Dee's on a not-so-busy afternoon. I understand the whole graffiti interior is a part of the restaurant and its theme, but I wasn't much of a fan. My cousin and I ordered Kings Crown Nachos and it was really good and delicious. Between us two, it was somewhat filling, we were gonna onder a another dish but we decided to just leave and get dessert at another place. Anyways, the sour cream, guac, and frijoles were plenty but I kinda expected a bigger portion. Nevertheless, the nachos here are really good. read more

This is by far my favorite place to eat in Toronto. Why? Because nachos that's why. What more could a girl want then a giant plate a beautiful delicious nachos with extra cheese. Let's start from the beginning. From the outside you might be confused as to what exactly Sneaky Dee's is. There's graffiti everywhere and when you come inside there's writing all over the walls. It's very interesting and obviously a fun environment. On to the menu, there's a few things to choose from. Honestly, I can't bring myself to order anything other than nachos for my meal every single time. They also have brunch here which looks amazing. Now onto what you're here for-the food. Hands down best nachos I've ever eaten in my life. They come on a huge plate so plan on sharing or taking some home. There's so many different nacho options to choose or you can personalize them however you want. I truly love it here. read more

Super divey pub, the kind with writing all over the bathroom stalls. Noisy, lots of high schoolers / college kids. Came for a late dinner after playing board games at Snakes and Lattes down the street all day, so we were all famished. I got the club sandwich with side salad, and I was only able to finish a quarter of it. The sandwich was decent, although the toast could have been more freshly toasted. Portions are huge. My friends got a poutine each and they also could only finish like a quarter of it. Needless to say, we all had to take the leftovers home for lunch the next day. The servers aren't that friendly and it can take a while to get someone's attention. They also don't take debit cards and don't do separate checks. Must have gotten tired of it with the young crowd lol. read more

I've passed though Sneeky Dee's a hundred times but never prioritized visiting... I was at Manic Cafe on the opposite side as I decided to order a take-out. I ordered for Avocado Spring Rolls, Jalapeno Poppers and Mexi-Dip Platter. While the size of platter was huge, I was quite surprised that even something basic like salsa and sour cream lacked flavor. While trying the avocado spring roll, the avocado seemed very raw and did not complement the overall dish. Jalapeno poppers were saving grace, thought could have been better. I will give this place another try with dine-in option! read more

Decent drink prices but not the bar vibe I thought it would be it seems more like a Mexican restaurant than a bar.
