Jawny Bakers Restaurant in East York

Got the Jambalaya here and it was good. We did take out.

Best restaurant in East York! Love this place. Fodd, service and ambiance are awesome. Our go-to place for celebrations! Chris is our favourite waiter

Its our first time the food was great the service was excellent we definitely come back

How did I not know about this place? I passed by and decided to try. Best thing I did! Had the steak sandwich, my wife the malibu sandwich both were AMAZING their stakes look amazing and someone next to me had the ribs that look insane. Recommend!! And will be returning, also service was amazing! And fast! Please visit! Parking: In the back, plenty Kid-friendliness: Yes, kids menu Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

Really nice! Will be back :)

Fairly expensive entrees. A large variety.

Excellent steak, friendly staff, one of the best family restaurants in the east end

I recently hosted my friend and colleagues retirement party at Jawny Bakers. We had approximately 50 guests who all had a fantastic time. I received so many positive comments on what a wonderful retirement party it was - but I didnt really do anything. The staff at Jawny Bakers did. The location with parking, the open space with plenty of seating, the atmosphere and the food were all fantastic. They provided a a microphone and amplifier which made for easy to hear speeches, the food was hot and fresh (and there was so much food!) the bar was easily accessible and well staffed and they allowed us to provide our own cake. We booked from 4:30 - 7ish and even though we may have run over our time we never felt rushed out. This is the second retirement party I have hosted/cohosted at this location and I will continue to book Jawny Bakers for any future parties I may have. Oh yes - the fee per person was more than reasonable. Thank you to all the staff who made my friends farewell a huge success! Wheelchair accessibility: very accessibly - entering and exit at back entrance and bathrooms on main floor easily accessible.

We recently had our daughters basketball team dinner here. Great service and everyone enjoyed the food! Friendly staff and quick service Jawny Bakers never disappoints. We ll definitely be back again soon! Thanks again!

I amending this review, having returned here multplie times. Dont sleep on this gem. It is proof that fancy menu items are completely unnecessary when you execute the classics perfectly. Literally everything we ordered (steak, ribs, dip) was excellent. Our server was also super kind and sweet, and attentive! Would recommend to literally anyone, and it is my go to for a nice dinner in the hood. Parking: Round the back.

We had the 14 oz rib steaks and added peppercorn gravy. It was delish!!! The food portion was great and the price is reasonable. Better than my Keg experience. Hannah provided us with excellent service. We will be back.

Fantastic family-style restaurant with nice comfort food. Off-the-charts service and happy hour. Its closed on Mondays!

Though it was only my second visit, Jawny Bakers could become my go-to place moving forward. The cuisine is delicious, particularly the chicken parmesan, which is my personal favourite, and there are plenty of TVs to watch every game. What made it so unforgettable was, above all, the service. My family and I received excellent service both times; a special thanks to Hannah, our waitress, who was really kind and made sure we were comfortable the whole time. I would without a doubt suggest this location to Toronto locals.

Delicious dinner on fabulous patio overlooking a leafy beautiful ravine. We were warmly met by the owner and had excellent service. We will definitely be back.

Amanda our server was absolutely amazing!!! The food was incredible and I had one of the best steaks ever. Its fine dining quality at family restaurant prices. One of the best restaurants in Toronto!!!!! Cant wait to come back!!!

Tom and his crew were amazing hosts for our high school Music Banquet in early June. We had 120 mostly senior students in attendance and he opened the whole restaurant to us, creating a warm open atmosphere for the students. His staff was extremely helpful as we tried to set up for our slideshow and had forgotten some cords. The food was great - he provided a combination of foods on the table (salads and flatbreads) as well as a buffet for the students. We were really happy with our experience at Jawny Bakers and the ambiance was excellent!

Our work organized a dinner training in the private room which worked out so well - the space fits around 20, the screen for plugging computer into , and it was quiet enough as well. My pistachio salmon was perfect , so was the desert . One less star for the soup which I didn t care for and slightly understated salmon but everything else was great including friendly and efficient staff. We will be back :)

Jawny Bakers never disappoints. We celebrated a family event with 14 people in our party. The service was fast. The staff was courteous and friendly. All the food came out at the same time, hot and delicious. We were very happy with our experience.

Had a Celebration of Life here and everything was perfect. The staff, the food, the drinks, the atmosphere, all great. Not a hiccup. Highly recommend for any gathering or just to come and eat and watch a game. Will be doing another gathering here in the near future! Thank you Tom and staff for making it perfect!!

Great place for mom and dad to have a date night! Food, drinks, and service is great. If you don t like a lively atmosphere this is not the place for you!

Ive never had a bad meal here, and the staff are always nice. Its my go-to when I have guests in town. Star off because I remember when portions were bigger and the hours were longer.

Definitely recommend this place to anyone! The food and service was amazing and the patio is such a hidden gem. We ordered the chicken parm and various appetizers and it was delicious especially the calamari. I will definitely be coming back!

First visit here. Came for dinner after recommendation from friend. Enjoyed Calamari app with wine. Ordered Pistachio crusted Salmon that was to come with advacado salsa, market veg and basmati rice. Dish was served with a large dollop of guacamole on salmon, market veg was carrots and green beans. For me, guac, pistachios, salmon, roasted carrots and green beans are not pallet pleasing. I would suggest refining the dish so that the ingredients on the dish complement eachother and not against eachother. I removed the guac but unfortunately it took the Pistachio crust with it. Service was on point. Nice atmosphere. Most draft beer not available tonight. Ladies bathroom needed attention. Two stalls that had locks were out of tp, one stall without lock had tp. End stall with tp and lock was dirty and unflushed.

Great evening dinner at Jawny Bakers! Fantastic service from the beginning of our evening there! All the hosts and servers did a fantastic job! Prompt service, very courteous, delicious food! All for an inexpensive price! A must go to if you are in the Parkview OConnor area!

Had a surprise birthday party for my wife here, and Tom and staff were amazing! Food and service were beyond great!

I love this place always coming here with my best friend and is great. Food and everything

As usual, the food, the atmosphere and the service were outstanding. We never have a bad experience at Jawnys!!

I ve come here once before and i think the food is okayish but is very overpriced for what its worth. The menu looked cheap and was difficult to read. Also, they dont have good vegan/vegetarian options. Last week, I went there again and I had a really bad experience. The food taste has changed and was worse than before. Although the staff were really good but they were clearly overworked. I also saw the manager shout at one of the server abt something that wasn t her fault. It really made me anxious and I dont think i ll ever come back to a place where workers are treated this way. I agree with all the reviews about the manager and they really need to change their management and fire the manager.

Been here so many times throughout my life, and it just keeps on impressing me. Parking: Lots of available parking at the side and rear of the establishment Food : 5/5 |

Held my engagement party here a few weeks ago and it was perfect! The staff and owners at Jawnys are very accommodating and were very helpful getting everything organized. Food was great, service was great and the atmosphere was just right. The owner noticed that I about to give a speech and went and lowered the music for me which was very thoughful. Always a great experience at Jawnys!

Wings were great

Great family owned spot, food was fantastic, portions were generous and service was spot on. Highly recommend! Vegetarian options: They made the pasta vegetarian for me and it was amazing!!

First time and will come back! Lovely staff, fresh food, tasty food and a cool space. Owner is so nice and clearly loves what she s built. Tacos, sweet potato fries, pasta and deserts all great at my table! Helpings are generous. Parking in the back.

Spacious and well appointed interior with patio space. Parking in rear but can be a challenge to navigate to in rush hour. Food was really good but slightly pricey.

Kids not welcome

It was our first time here, but we ll definitely be back. The food was terrific, with some good kid-friendly options, and the service was warm and attentive. A great experience!

Happy place, good atmosphere and the fish tacos were outstanding!

Attentive staff, great food.

Jawny s is sort of that reliable spot. You can go and not be disappointed but you re not gonna be blown out of the water. Nachos were amazing this past visit - they came with a side of chilli which was a welcomed addition. My son loved the rosé pasta.

Great service and great atmosphere! Had a great date night at Jawny Baker s with my husband. We had the steak and the chicken Parmesan, with an oreo cheesecake. Will come again! Parking: Behind the building

I used to come here when we lived nearby so we visited again after passing by on Sunday they have $6 drinks happy hour until 2-6pm. Omkar gave us excellent service. Def recommended the food and the ambiance.

We had our 30++ person staff party at Jawny Bakers in January 2024. They reserved the front of the restaurant for our team. The menu selections pleased everyones tastes and the food was well presented, hot, and delcious! The meals were also timed perfectly and we didnt feel rushed. The servers were attentive and there were many compliments from our staff. We are a catering company, so its nice to be on the receiving end of great hospitality! The price was also very reasonable. I highly recommend for both small and large parties. Thank you!

The Chicken Parm is a must eat!!! I order this every time I come here. It s delicious every time.

Great time at Jawnys tonight! We were celebrating a special birthday and Everything on the menu is amazing!! Thanks for a great night! We will be back!

This place is just wonderful. We had our sons 4th birthday here and everyone at the restaurant was to kind and accommodating. The food was delicious and even the kids who are picky eaters finished their plates (a big feat...if you know, you know). One of the owners even came over to say hi, which I thought was a really nice and personal touch. Well definitely be back! Kid-friendliness: I had told them how many toddlers we were having and the high chairs were all set up for us. They had crayons and colouring pages on the tables for us and the staff were so great with the kids.

Awesome food.

The quality of the menus are the best. The most important thing is that I am allergic to some type of species and they have always withdrawn the ingredients that cause me allergies, such as pepper. Very kind

Could be cleaner, staff was great.

Always great. Great good and customer service: its a must try :). We have been coming here for years and its been amazing for years. I am thinking about it as I type right now.

My wife and I love going here. Its one of our favorite restaurants. The food is always great and the prices are unreal.

Incredible environment - cozy and spacious with big screen TV s, a beautiful bar area and fireplace. The food is absolutely delicious and the customer service is incredible. I highly recommend this restaurant as there is something on the menu for every palette!

A good safe choice. My tacos couldve been a little heartier. Overall a good place to dine.

This is one of the best run restaurants in East York. I always get great service and food

Visited twice, most recently dining in the private room for my grandma in laws birthday celebration. Good, not great, food, spacious restaurant and decent service. Food was much better on the weekday when they werent busy vs. a busy Saturday, same with the service.

Everything about this restaurant is outstanding, from ambiance to food to service ..it was all excellent. Despite being super packed on Valentine s Day, the service was the fastest we have ever experienced at any restaurant! There was a bit of a wait to be seated ( understandably! ) and realizing this, the owner came to our table specifically to ensure we were being taken care of! O and their Pecan cheesecake is absolutely delicious! We highly recommend this restaurant!

A very typical experience: nothing great, nothing terrible. Clarity of the menu is sometimes a concern, but not a bad choice for something relatively quick and tasty.

Great ambience, and the food wasnt bad. But the gumbo left a lot to be desired - it didnt have that thickness that you find in good gumbo. It was ok overall. Id go here for a nice place in East York where you want good ambience, but the food is just ok.

The best family causal dining restaurant in the neighbourhood. The staff is genuinely courteous and pleasant. The food is perfect for this style of restaurant and the prices are reasonable. Pro tip, get them to toss the chicken tacos in hot sauce, so good.

This place is the go-to place for a great meal in East York.

Inexpensive, great food. Party of 7 for 400 bucks with drinks, tip.

The other day I indulged in the best chicken parm I have ever experienced highly recommend as well as the place itself is wonderful staff great everything s amazing. Kid-friendliness: They have crayons that you can use to draw on tables which is quite thrilling to even someone like myself.

We started with the guacamole and chips. We had the Sierra salmon and sirloin steak loaded with mashed potatoes. Steak was cooked perfectly and salmon was delicious!

Excellent atmosphere. Great service. We enjoyed the Sienna Salmon and the Jambalaya. They were very good. The calamari was cooked perfectly. I would suggest the Apple Crisp dessert Yum!

We stopped in during happy hour for drinks and food. Both were really well done. Our waitress was lovely.

Excellent food and service.

Staff were very friendly especially the owner. The food was hot, fresh and delicious. We will definitely come back again. The mud pie dessert is to die for. Parking: Lots of parking Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair friendly and parking

Had a wonderful experience dining here. Food was delicious and staff was super friendly. I highly recommend and will definitely be coming back.

Chris is the most attentive and gracious waiter. He accommodated us in a big way tonight... gave us a bigger table as we have a little one. The food was awesome- my partner got the chicken tacos and I got the Malibu chicken sandwich. Definitely a family favourite! We will be back soon.

Foods okay. Kind of an East York staple but the owners are goofs. Lol

The best food in the East end. Great food amazing service, highly recommend.

Classic Toronto restaurant with a reasonable menu of BBQ (ribs, steaks and burgers) and comfortable food. Service is always quick, reliable and friendly. Inside is setup well with ample space for quieter meals or larger groups. Collection of tvs to if you are looking to catch the game. Definitely a staple of the neighborhood and worth a visit if you are looking for a quality meal in East York

Fantastic service and even better food!

Thank you so much for your incredible service and my food was awesome and for sure Ill be coming back.

The nachos were amazing I always find restaurants don t put enough cheese, this wasn t the case here! Also, they are served with a large chilli on the side even drooling about them as full as I am. Our server ended up being the owner of the restaurant, and was amazing. My parents are from out of town, and always want to return here the patio is where it s at, but dining inside is also warm and cozy. Vegetarian options: Great beyond meat burger (dad is vegan)

Amazing experience, fantastic food!!! Service was impeccable!!

This restaurants service is excellent !! Food is solid. Family friendly. Appreciate next level neighborhood vibe. One and only !

The food was really good and the portions were very good. The flavour was really good . The space was very spacious.the cheesecake is not made in-house . Overall a good experience. The parking is limited . 8.5/10

Very friendly, welcoming staff and delicious food. Great restaurant and I highly recommend visiting if youre in the area.

Great food as always. Awesome sweet potatoes and burgers!

Honestly, the only positives were the food was hot. The value did not match the price. We have dined at JB numerous times in the last 15 years, and we have seen a significant drop in the quality of the food and service. We were a group of 7 and had two orders of Halibut and chips. The portion size of the fish did not match the value. The Shrimp Salad didnt look appetizing. The bacon on the burger looked like it had been cooked at breakfast. Overall, not worth the money.

Ordered half rack of ribs with mashed potatoes, and brownie from Uber Eats. Ribs- average. Mashed potatoes- so salty I couldn t eat it, and that s saying a lot because I usually like more salt than others. Brownie- I don t know, I didn t get it. The meal was also supposed to include coleslaw that I didn t get. My overall experience was a 1. I m giving a 3 star rating because maybe it was an off day.

We have been coming to Jawny Bakers for over 12 years when our son moved into the area. Its usually been good food for good value. I asked about fish tacos and since it was only two small tacos for $23.89 my son and I opted for fish and chips for 27.89. Well, we were shocked at the size of the fish for that price. Two small pieces that were mostly batter. When the server came to ask how our food was we told her how disappointed we were in the size of the food and she apologized. We asked that our comments be passed on to the manager. A manager never followed up with us and I watched for a manager but could not find one. The food was hot and tasted fine, but I will not return because of the value of the meals. Our grandchilds chicken fingers were larger than our fish. I can compare the meal to a fish and chip meal at Jack Astors on Front Street last weekend. There was so much fish I took the second piece home. The cost at Jack Astors downtown was $23.65 for two big pieces and fries and at Jawny Bakers it was 27.89 for two small pieces which were mostly batter. Where do you think I will choose next time? At least we expected the manager to speak to us, but no. Update: I changed my star rating from two stars to one star due to the poor response from the owner. He is passing our comments to the right people? I would think that the owner would be the right person. As well, we did more than try the restaurant after coming for 12 years. If you look at some other reviews with pictures, the fish and chips clearly had a lot of food at one time. When I saw that, I feel like they were gouging, especially with the high price compared to even a downtown restaurant. Its sad as we used to go regularly. I cant remember the last time I felt ripped off at an eating establishment. The avoidance by the manager confirms that.

I had a great experience eating here. I had plenty of delicious appetizers (I especially loved the cheese bread). The service was amazing. 100 percent would recommend this place to anyone that wants to have their birthday party here or simply a delicious meal!

I recently attended a private event at Jawny Baker, and everything was simply amazing! The service, atmosphere, and food were all top-notch. Highly recommended!

Amazing food and amazing service !!

WE CELEBRATE MY SONS 50TH BIRTHDAY TODAY AT JAWNY BAKERS RESTAURANT ALL THE GUESTS WERE VERY SATISFIED AND HAPPY WITH THE FOOD THE SERVICE AND THE ATMOSPHERE THE SERVERS VERY HELPFUL AND KIND OLGA THE OWNER SHE IS THE BEST THANK YOU OLGA

We cant say enough good things about the amazing service! Weve been coming here for more years then I can count. Olga and her staff have ALWAYS gone above and beyond. A mixed up order was made right by delivering right to our home. Olga has run after the car to give a salad dressing that was missed! ALL of her staff have always been so pleasant and so professional! We had a birthday party in a private room, that was just the very best, and enjoyed so much by everyone! I could go on and on......We enjoy the food, and keep coming back because of so much more then that! THANK YOU TO OLGA and her AMAZING team! S&K

Wow - we were down in East york for my sons baseball game at Stan Wadlow park. We googled where to eat and we found Jawny Bakers. Unbelievable dinner what we loved the most was the kids menu and portion sizes were perfect not too small like most chains. My kids are getting olde rams they want a meal! I think everyone cleared their plate. Amazing wait staff and the owner came over to see how we were doing as we were wearing our Orangeville Orange in east York county!! She was so pleasant We will be back!!

We just had a birthday party and we were very happy with the event. The private room was idea, the food was very good and all guests were served at the same time. Service was awesome. Highly Recommend.

DONT COME HERE! I came here for a nice meal, and I am appalled. First of all, I cant believe it hasnt been shut down by the health department. The food was meh and expensive for what it is, not good enough to make up for the rest. The worst part was management. While my waitress was good, I could tell she was overworked. I heard management screaming at her for things that were not her fault, and when she came back I could tell she was shaken up and embarrassed. She was working alone and didnt need to be verbally degraded in front of everyone. Will not be back, and the rest of you should save yourselves the trouble and eat somewhere else. Very upsetting behaviour.

I had my Mom s Celebration of Life here on a Friday from 4p to 6p and it was perfect! They were able to accommodate 40 people without issue and it was a pleasure working with them to organize the event, especially given that I do not live in Canada. On the day of the event, everything went smoothly. There was always an attentive server checking with guests to see if they needed anything, and the food throughout the event always came out hot, and just at the right moments. I could not have asked for a better experience for such an important occasion. I would recommend having an event here to anyone.

Very accommodating staff and service was on par, food was excellent!

I visited this wonderful restaurant with a few of my buddies after a final exam. The food was amazing and the steaks were cooked to perfection (best Ive seen in town). The restaurant gave off a warm atmosphere while retaining elegance, making it a perfect location for a nice date. The service was also exceptional, Olga was extremely friendly and gave great advice on what was best on the menu. Overall, the experience was nothing short of 10/10 and I cannot recommend this location enough to everyone. Do not hesitate about visiting this establishment!

Nice place, the food quality was good, however the serving size could be bigger for the price. The atmosphere and the service were pleasant.

This is our local go to for dinner out. The food is always fresh and delicious. The service is exceptional.

Wish they were open later, but everything was fantastic. Im not normally picky but really didnt like the peppercorn meal, my husband thought it was delicious! After expressing this to them they offered me a new meal even though the kitchen was closing and were just so kind overall. Definitely recommend!!!

Tasty food, friendly staff, and a nice environment. They were super helpful and always provided a good and quality service. I reserved the 20 people dining room for my company, and it was amazing.

Great food. Quick and friendly service. Nice dessert and it was chill.

We went to Jawny Bakers early afternoon to grab a bite and a couple of drinks. Overall, the food was good and the portions were enough for two. We had Burger Sliders, Calamari Fritti and Sweet Potato Fries. The cocktails that we tried werent particularly memorable but, nothing that a good beer after couldnt fix. So, its worth the try and we may come back to explore other options.

Great spot for a last minute date night.

Two of the steaks at our table were very overdone. The service was excellent. Food

A bit of a hidden gem, this restaurant has great food and drinks for very reasonable prices! The employees are very friendly, we are so glad that we are able to go back and dine-in now! UPDATE SEPT 2023: This restaurant has the best nachos in Toronto, hands down! Everything we come it is our go-to order, and they never disappoint! Every chip has cheese, lots of toppings, but the chips arent soggy, and the side of chili is amazing!!!

Very good

Local place great food. Nice bar area and outside seating. Good value great for large groups.

Always a great place, never disappointed.

Fresh food

Jawny bakers is my favourite restaurants. My parents, two older brothers and I squish in a car together for an hour to get there. We start off with side caesar salads and an order of onion rings. Both are phenomenal. Probably one of the best Caesar salads I have ever had. For the main meals you really can t go wrong. The burgers are all amazing, the sandwiches are to die for, and they have one of the best steaks out there! For dessert there are so many great options but if you love chocolate, get the mud pie! The service really could not be better. Everyone there is so welcoming and makes the overall dining experience even more enjoyable. Can t wait to come again!

Jawny Bakers is not even close to where I live, but Ill sit in the back seat with two other people so my family can eat there. Everything there is delicious from the salads, to the appetizers, to the steak and burgers. They give a generous amount of fries, and everything is always hot and fresh. If youre looking for a casual dining experience with good food, Id really recommend you try them.

Too bad their 15% off does not include walk-in take out customers.

First visit to the restaurant as we are new to the east end. Fantastic service, food, and experience! Will be back 100%! Parking: Very accessible! Kid-friendliness: Went out of their way for our 2 year old toddler!

Such a hidden jem, so glad we found it. Really delicious, fresh food. Great menu and super attentive service. Was our first time here and we ll be coming back for sure. Nicer family restaurant (not at all pretentious but more upscale than most) with great vibes and a good bar too.

Have been coming to Jawny Bakers for years and its one of my go-to spots. The service is exceptional and accomodating, the vibe is great, and the food is always fantastic. The Bayou Jambalaya and the Sticky Toffee Cake are to die for. You really cant go wrong with anything at Jawnys

First time here on a recommendation. Had the chicken tenders. Very fresh and delicious although we asked for 10 and got like 7 chicken tenders and like 3 tiny bits of chicken tenders. Salad was also good as was the bbq burger. Lighting is a little too dim to enjoy company. Washroom was TTC disgusting and our server never really came back until the end. Actually the hostess came by as she saw we were looking for our server. She was fantastic. Got us cleared up and desert. Will I come back? Possibly.

Another beautiful dinner tonight. Havent been in a while for sit down due to busy schedules (but still have ordered takeaway) miss this place and your staff! A nice quiet dinner on an early Sunday evening by the fireplace

Jawny Bakers Restaurant is known for its comfortable and inviting atmosphere, offering a diverse menu of classic comfort food and contemporary dishes. Its a popular spot for both casual dining and special occasions, praised for its friendly service and consistent quality.

Booked team lunch in private room. Excellent food, atmosphere and service. Parking: Convenient parking lot at back entrance Food : 5/5 |

Another year! Dec. 2023, Im adding to my review below: We had another annual Christmas party and once again, it was fabulous at Jawnys. Our group loves this place. The private room and food were perfect. The service was super friendly and made us all feel at home. We will be returning for next years annual dinner party. Dec. 2022: We held our 40th (+) annual Christmas get together last Friday in the private dining room at Jawnys. This is our second year celebrating in this room instead of our good hosts house. We all agree that this is THE BEST venue for any group celebration! And we want to do it at Jawnys forevermore! The room is a fantastic size for our group of usually, 10-14 people (but can hold more). The food and wine is excellent and at a great price point. And our server, Christopher, felt like a friend shortly after our arrival. Olga, the owner made us all feel special and welcomed us back. We all highly recommend hosting your special occasion here. It means, no work at home, no cooking, no cleanup and lots of space to socialize, talk non-stop and laugh loudly without bothering other customers. Parking: Easy free parking behind the restaurant

Weve spent a lot of time at JBs over the years and have enjoyed it but have been away for the last couple of years. We were hungry and in the area and said Why dont we go to Jawny Bakers for Dinner? Initial service as relatively quick. Ordered two steak dinners both medium rare. One arrive as ordered (different server) , medium rare. The other was well done and quite dried out. Ive always enjoyed the food here but this really disappointed. The side veg for both dinners was cooked perfectly but was dead cold like it was sitting on cold plate while the steak was being overcooked. We finally saw our original server just as we were finishing. She asked if I would like another glass of wine. I would have ordered another glass of wine but by this point we were done. Weve had many family events here over the years in the private dining room and were weekly visitors for quite a while when working in the area. I hope that this isnt the New JBs

Came here on a Friday night as we just live down the road and I was pleasantly surprised to see how nice it was inside. I was expecting something much worse and it was actually great with a beautiful center piece fireplace. Had an order of their nachos with guac and chili and they were top three nachos Ive had (comparable to Sneaky Dees) and also a 1lb order of their wings in medium. The wings came uncoated and were decently flavourful, although a tad dry Beers were about $8 and they had a Friday special for Prosecco for my wife at $6/glass for LaMarca. We actually will return, those nachos were just too good. Parking: There is plenty of parking per se, as the place does get rammed around 7pm on a Friday and there was only 1 spot available when we got there out of about 20-25 spots

Another great experience for our family holiday dinner at Jawny Bakers this past week. Service was very good and menu options to cover everyones wishes, chicken parm always a family favorite. Highly recommend if you are looking for a relaxed atmosphere with family and friends for great food and drinks.

First time here.......Great Dark and Stormy.....you know if you know!

I ve been coming here for years with my family and I have a great experience every time. The food is CRAZY good!

Nice atmosphere

Went here with my family but couldnt even enjoy our meal due to the smell in the dining room. It was so horrendous, like sewage. When I mentioned it to the staff they were so rude and pretended like they couldnt smell it. I saw one of them spray febreeze while i was there too, so I know they could. It was overpowering. Then when the food came there was a hair in it. Overall a terrible experience

Excellent experience and excellent service and excellent staff I will 100 per cent go back to jawny bakers for sure

A little pricey. But good food

Planned a retirement event at Jawny Bakers and it was wonderful. The space and ambience was perfect for our group of 25. The appetizers we ordered were outstanding in quantity, quality and taste. Service was friendly and very professional. 10/10

The food is excellent, we ordered burgers and OH my God they know how to cook a outstanding burger!, the service always is excellent and fast, love this place to dine in or to take out!

One of our favourite spots in the East End. The staff is friendly, great location with lots of parking and we love the food especially the Penne Athena and West Coast Burger. My kids love their kids menu as well. Great experience every time!

The food is pretty good but not good enough to warrant the high prices. The best thing we got was the ribs and even then, they are a little dry on the outside. The service is lacking at best. Our server talked to us the bare minimum and charged us for two gravies and two cokes even though we only received one of each, despite asking multiple times for the second gravy. In addition, we didnt have the menu on hand and ordered the mudpie (extremely sweet and took 10+ minutes to come out by the way), server asked with vanilla ice cream? This is vague because it isnt clear that its an additional charge for ice cream, as the server never mentioned it and the question couldve just been the clarify the flavour. TLDR Spend your money elsewhere

Very friendly staff!

Had a bridal shower at Jawney Bakers! It was wonderful. Service was great and the food was amazing! The staff were accommodating and went out of their way to ensure we all enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommend this place!

We had an amazing experience this past weekend. The staff out did themselves with the party we hosted for my sons first communion. The food was delicious and hot! We look forward to having more functions and nights on the patio!!

I had the most delicious food and truly enjoyed every bite! Would 1000% recommend!

Very unhappy with the service, took over 45 minutes to get an order of chicken tacos and a grilled chicken burger. Other customers who had ordered after us got there meals before we got our meals. Felt like we were second class citizens, I could go on but we won t be back so there is no point. Food was fine, but not worth the wait.

The Eggs Benedict was the best Ive ever had. Too bad they discontinued their brunch.

Went to rehearsal dinner here. Good food. Better service. Great place to celebrate.

We recently held a private function at Jawny Bakers and they were absolutely amazing. It was very easy to setup the event, the staff was amazing and the atmosphere was perfect for what we required. Many of our guests commented after the fact about how great the day was and how perfect the venue was. I highly recommend Jawny Bakers, what a great spot!!!

Delicious food and excellent customer service! Friendly staff, a good ambience and we ll definitely be coming back!

First time having dinner there . Food was amazing and staff was awesome !! I recommend everyone to try :)

Old time East York restaurant located at O Connor and St.Clair. Friendly staff and good food at a reasonable price. Seating area is well lit with TVs around for sports games and drinks.

Always great food!!

If you have never been, go We enjoyed this experience very much Do Go in by the rear door though

Great service and decent food for our wedding party but were very confused on how to charge a large group.

Unbelievably there are no vegan options here. Not one!! Cmon into the 21st century JBs! Plant-based/vegan options are everywhere now given the environnental impacts of raising animals and our health. Not to mention animal cruelty...

The AC unit was not working correctly so the longer we were there the hotter it got. We were seated right away and the waiter, Andrew, was attentive at first. I ordered the Sierra salmon and it was delicious. My husband ordered the jambalaya and although tasty it was not authentic. We had to wait several minutes for drink refills and a dessert menu but they were not packed. The pecan cheesecake was delicious.

We went into you restaurant in the evening around 6:30. We were offered to sit near the bar which was ok. I noticed that you had Chili on the menu so I asked for Chili cheese fries (a custom order apparently) which are a favourite of mine. My partner ordered a steak sandwich with sweet potato fries. My food came relatively quickly and the chili fries were good. Still no sandwich after 10 minutes. The waiter came back and said that it was his fault and that it the food is coming. I waited a few more minutes and went to another waitress and complained and the food came out. The sandwich and the fries came separately on separate plates which was strange. I waited for his order to come so my fries were getting cold. Not a great experience for a total of $56.19. This was my first time there and maybe my last. Ray C

A great family friendly restaurant. Good food and service. Very accommodating on ingredient changes in dishes. Favourite local restaurant.

Nice place, enjoy a lot 4 years. Still good but some of staff or not friendly

Was pretty good. I had jambalaya and they even cut off the shrimp tails for me which was greatly appreciated! The others had penne carbonara which was plentiful and the steak and shrimp dish (only 2 shrimp on the plate ). Staff was pleasant. Wed probably go again

Food was great and staff were amazing, came here on Tuesday. But it was unpleasant to hear the boss brutally yelling at his staff from part of the restaurant, wouldve said Id come back with my family but dont want to support a business where staff arent treated with respect. Our server came back visibly upset and I felt it was incredibly unprofessional behaviour considering how great our service was.

Great service, food and drinks were sub-par tonight. Parking: Free parking in back of restaurant

The food was good, but slow to arrive. Might have just been a one-off but the place certainly wasn t busy inside. Staff was friendly. Restaurant was clean.

Good local restaurant with a varied menu. Nicely updated decor. There is a patio out back, but it overlooks the parking lot.

Parking: Genug

Parking: Lots of parking

Thank you to crew at Jawny Bakers for making our wedding celebration dinner exactly what we wanted. Tom and Lisa were attentive and everyone had a great time. A special thank you to Olga for taking the time to assure us as we planned this night. The food was wonderful and the service was outstanding. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Great food, great atmosphere and reasonably priced. We had 20 people and everyone received their food and drinks together.

Amazing place to dine in! Food is delicious! Super friendly staff!

Lovely place, service is great Parking: Available

After a few days to reflect on what was a successful 1st Birthday deserves more than just a few words of appreciation. We hosted our daughters WILD ONE themed party at Jawny Bakers and it was a hit. Since the restaurant is normally closed for lunch and opens at 4pm we had the whole space for our party of 90. We were able to set up the night before and also come in earlier the day of for any final touches (which helped big time). A week later and all the guests from children that are 5 years old to grandparents over 70 years are still raving over the fun and great time they had. SPACE Overall the space was very intimate but spacious and everyone was able to enjoy while not being crammed like sardines. We also had a caricature artist and a photo booth for our guests to enjoy (to give insight on the space). FOOD We pre-arranged apps for guests to munch on while everyone rolled in and they were served hot and fresh. Our guests had one of four main options that was pre-selected and ordered in advance which was organized by us.They were able to accommodate special dietary request and also adjust a few things to help with our budget. The only thing we wished they had was a pre-set menu to make things easier. The kitchen was able to prepare Linguine Tetrazzini, Ribs, Steak Sandwich, and Halibut & Chips while serving it fresh and piping hot to our guests. Portions were a great size and many had take away boxes. We would definitely give the kitchen 10/10. Thank you for making our guests super happy they left filled with delicious food in their bellies. STAFF Originally when inquiring about our event we first dealt with a staff member that ended up leaving. Having to re-introuduce myself and go over what we wanted to host/what our budget was etc. was repetitive but we knew we were in the right hands when we dealt with Olga. She was so accommodating, positive, gave suggestions and overall cared. It makes such a big difference when dealing with owners like Olga and everyone in our family noticed. She treated us like family and not just another transaction. We explained what our vision was and what we had in mind and we both worked together to make it happen. The servers and bartenders that took care of us before, during and after the event were also amazing. Teigan, Crystal and the other three ladies (I didnt get your names).. THANK YOU. We were so happy to support a local business and have our little ones special day celebrated at your venue. We appreciate you all.

First time here and we loved it great food n the customer service was amazing . Very friendly staff and the place was very clean and spacious

Always the best experience ever. Have not been there in a few yrs due to covid went there this eve and the server Paige was beyond sweet the atmosphere beautiful and Tom is exceptional!!!! Thank you so much

My daughter and son in law held our grandson s Christening at Jawny s and it was fabulous. We had approximately 35 family members for lunch. Olga helped my daughter organize the menu and appetizers. When we arrived everything was set up nicely and the food and service was absolutely wonderful. The family all raved about the Steak, Salmon and the Chicken parmigiana. Excellent job from the staff, friendly and very attentive! Thanks Jawny s for a memorable Christening and first Birthday celebration for baby Austin!. P.S. We held our daughter s Engagement Party at Jawny s. It was so much fun, we had to come back.

Passed by this restaurant numerous times over the years without having going there. Decided to give it a try and we werent disappointed. Spacious style interior with big screen tvs throughout. The service was top notch as the staff were very polite and attentive. The calamari appetizer was one of the best weve ever had anywhere. I had the Halibut fish and chips. The fish was battered nicely, not a huge serving but was very dense and filling. The fries was the only thing that was not that great, wasnt crispy at all. Oreo cheesecake was also a hit. Definitely will be back to try other menu items. November 1st, 2022 - Stopped by tonight for dinner. Service was great. Had the calamari again fantastic . The main was 8oz centre Sirloin with mash potatoes was good. Strawberry cheesecake for dessert. Parking: Not a big parking lot. Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking right at front and entrance is wheelchair accessible.

Do Everyone in the neighbourhood a favour and Sell !! let someone who cares about customer service / quality of product(food)and all round customer experience take over. SERIOUSLY !!!

Had our engagement party with Jawny Baker, it was a fantastic experience! Staff were very friendly and ensured we had an evening to remember. We could customize our menus and bring our own dessert, highly recommend!

They were kind enough to accommodate our party of 11 on a Saturday Evening with no reservations. Our server ( Chris) was awesome and the food was great! Thanks a million Jawny Bakers!

Great flavourful, fresh, unique dishes and service. We are making this a regular dining spot!

Always a pleasure

Went for a Friday dinner for a work party . Soup was amazing , steak was perfect and a great selection of desserts. Bartender was attentive and got drinks out very quickly. Had a great experience overall . Parking: Parking is easy

The waitress messed up several times but the manager saved her. Parking: Have parking lot fenced off Food : 3/5 |

My first time here. The food absolutely delicious. Excellent service by Chris! Highly recommend.

Always so good. Always. Thank you, again.

On Dec 10 we celebrated my husbands 65th birthday with a party of 19 people in the OConnor Room at Jawny Bakers Restaraunt. We expected to have a good time as we have dined here many times since we moved into the area 25 years. The party was a great success, the food great with no complaints. In particular the waiter assigned to our party, Christopher, was amazing! A true asset to the Jawny Baker team. Every one loved him and he interacted with all us with professionalism, grace and humour. Co-manager Olga was very helpful in helping us organize the event

Tasty sirloin steak at a decent price. All my companions were happy with their choices from a broad menu. Attentive service from the whole team.
