1875 Leslie St, North York, ON M3B 2M3, Canada
Classic British-style watering hole offering casual pub fare ranging from burgers to curry.
This place has a pool table and very friendly staff. It’s great for after-work beers and larger gatherings. The space is roomy, and the food is good for sharing, though it’s not the most flavorful. The beer was great, and the environment is fun.
We stopped in after a shopping trip to the nearby IKEA. My wife saw that they were close so we thought we would try it out. Totally not disappointed!! I was a bit skeptical at first when I didn't see many cars in the lot, but it started to fill up by the time we left around 1:30. Justin, our server, was simply outstanding! Super friendly, helpful with the menu which is large and varied. He recommended the fish sandwich and it was delicious. We both had it with kettle chips, which were the best I have had anywhere! I think they make their own tartar sauce, because it wasn't that sweet garbage a lot of places serve. We started with the fried ravioli app, and they were also really good! We are from Windsor, but will definitely try to visit again the next time we're in town! Thanks again to Justin!
Had a really nice dinner. It was a pasta special, shrimp in cream Sauce. Tasted good and portion was terrific. Better yet was the super nice server/bartender. It wasn't too busy, but she was very attentive and so pleasant. Even thanked me for asking how she was today, and always smiling. Enjoyed a game if pool also.
This pub is truly a hidden gem! The interior decor captures the charm of a traditional British-style pub, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The prices are reasonable, and the service is both quick and friendly. We ordered the hot wings, jalapeño poppers, gyro sandwich, and breaded ravioli—all of which were delicious and perfectly cooked. If you’re in the area, this place is a must-visit!
The Goose is hands down my favourite branch of Friken that I have visited! Chill, clean, comfortable, atmosphere, and extremely friendly staff who seemed to work together so well! The fish tacos were a little overpriced for what you get but the Jalapeno Cucumber Margarita was fantastic! We'll come back again!
We went to The Goose with a group of friends. Although I've visited before, I always sit outside. The food are pricey and little and portions are not satisfying, so I wouldn't recommend it for a meal. However, it's a great place for drinks and gatherings, especially on the patio. The food isn't special enough to choose The Goose for dining.
So much nostalgia visiting this neighbourhood bar again after many years. Been coming here since before the renovation and they still had the red interior. I recall the devastation of watching the Leafs lose to Boston in game 7 in 2013. Decided to come here again to watch game 7 against Boston again in 2024 to break the curse. Haha… the rest is history. Never coming here again to watch Leafs game 7 ever again.
Showed up here on a Saturday night and it was busy but not overwhelming. We got a table right. Service was friendly and fast. Food was good and drinks reasonably priced. Great spot to watch sports. The crowd was mixed and felt comfortable.
My company hosted its annual Christmas party at the Goose on Leslie this year and I must say I was blown away by the outstanding customer service. A huge thank you to the manager Jaime for his exceptional planning and coordination skills to make this event possible. Jaime and his team went above and beyond to ensure our party was satisfied and well looked after. Very efficient and professional. I was impressed with the attention to detail, generosity, and great energy we received from the servers/staff; Jess, Cails, and Stenzel and would like to express my appreciation. Your efforts in hosting this event will not go unnoticed. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good food, beverage and entertainment. There are many options available that can accommodate preferences, allergies, etc. It was a 10/10 experience and will certainly be going back again. Thank you!
Really nice classic pub, great atmosphere, outstanding service. Food is obviously not hate cuisine, but it is surprisingly good pub food!
Had our staff party. The staff the food was fresh and tasty. Lots of space.
Went to the goose for the first time with my friends on Thursday and I can say that parastoo was an excellent server. Throughout the night she had a very friendly manner and made our experience at the goose memorable. Will definitely be back.
Nice place to chill and have some drinks, I could recommend the fried calamari as an appetizer. The rest is up to your paladar. Everybody has a different taste
This place used to be decent, but my last visit was a total disaster. I m dropping my rating from 5 stars to 1. The service on Saturday night was absolutely awful. The bartenders acted like they were doing us a favor by serving us. We waited 30 minutes just for a drink, and whenever we tried to get their attention, they completely ignored us, too busy serving their regulars and the tables that tipped well. It felt incredibly unprofessional and discriminatory. Both servers were two women with black hair one in a short skirt and the other in a sleeveless black shirt and low-waisted jeans. We used to love this place, but after that experience, I can t see myself coming back. What a nightmare!
Warm beer. No good service
i have been coming to the goose recently and everytime I come back because the staff here are so friendly and they treat me so well! Definitely recommend this place big shoutout to Aysh and paras2 and zoya
I had a great experience at The Goose! Our server, Parastoo, was fantastic super friendly and attentive, always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. She really added to the relaxed vibe of the place. Looking forward to coming back!
Everything was perfect. Our server was really kind and educated. I enjoyed my time with my friends there.
Had an amazing time on Saturday! Ash and Paraxtu were prompt, attentive and hospitable. The drinks are reasonably priced, a great place to hang out on a weekend!!!! Kid-friendliness: During the day, more corporate crowd.
Local pub.
Went for lunch and met colleagues. It was not busy for a weekday. The food and service was nice. I thought it would be busier since I have gone many times to meet friends on the weekends. If you want a treat that is not too big, the butter tart with ice cream is delicious.
Dinner was great. Specials are good value. Service was fast and friendly. Food
I have been coming to the goose for years with my friends. If you want a casual, social spot to hangout and meet people this is the place . The service is quick and they have great weekday drink specials . The head bartender Zoya is a gem. She s great at multitasking and making your experience worth while . 5 stars.
Looking for a spot to watch the PPV. This is your spot in the Bayview village area. Wasnt crowded and there were lots of good seating to catch the UFC fights.
EI dont think the service could have been worse yesterday. 4 of us walked in and they seemed short staffed but honestly this was surprising because the staff is usually excellent The waitress with the long black hair and red head came over took our order and vanished. When we finally waved over someone for drink refills he came told us our waitress would need to put that in so we asked her to come by. She did apologize took our order than brought the drinks to 3 tables behind us. Another 20 mns goes by and nothing. She never comes back we had to track her down to just settle our bill and guess what she tried to add to this bill ? The drinks we ordered 30 mns earlier and never received If anyone checked on us we would have ordered more drinks dessert and coffee but didnt have the chance because of this.
Staff were rude, especially one girl might have memory loss or no attitude for customers
Perfect for peaceful meetup, not suited for party animals.
Nice, friendly atmosphere with a great staff. Large premises with sports Cafe atmosphere with big screen TV and 2 pool tables.
The bartender, who claims to be the manager, has a really odd and unprofessional attitude. If the establishment continues to employ her, they risk losing customers.
I went with my mum Anna s two teenage daughters Saturday August 3rd. It was just ok bordering on poor. I ordered the chicken curry which I ve had there a couple of times before. It was awful. It tasted like a block of salt with a sort of tomato sauce. It was inedible. I sent it back. Very disappointing. I got a hamburger instead. It was quite good. The waitress was friendly enough but didn t seem to care about my experience with the dish and took a really long time after taking it away to ask what I wanted instead. It was weird. She wasn t rude at all, just not attentive. We won t be rushing back there.
Unprofessional waitresses, we deserve better on a weekend night.
Good place to watch a Copa América 2024 soccer match. The food is not bad either.
We came with my group of friends expecting to have a great experience. 1. Order of chicken wings: terrible Flavour, apparently they look that they were not fresh, not edible at all. 2. The service totally desorganized . Luck of communication between waitresses. 3. When the bill was requested to be split, the waitress stated that the cash machine is too old and it was not possible. Totally disappointed of this place
I went Saturday night, never been here before, I found this place extremely disorganized, we had a waitress, but she left us, and never came back!! Only to see her taking shots behind the bar!! Thanks to the new girl that night, she came over and took care of us for the rest of the night!! We will not be going back there!! Very disappointing!!
Nice staff but food needs to be better... Too salty and deep fried... Parking space
They are not that busy, but you have to get your own drink, and maybe wipe your own table! Rude and non engaging waiters, they are busier attending to empty tables rather than attend to actual customers? Perhaps its the lack of training or customers service but this is the worst pub Ive ever been in!
Great atmosphere, good people, and service
We came with a group of friends and our food tasted okay but the beer tasted water down. Not sure what changed. Been there a few times and the experience was pleasant.
Very good place, clean, delicious food but we are not allowed to watch Copa America in Spanish, it is a Latino tournament, we asked to change it to Spanish and our request was denied, in our language it is more interesting to watch
The food was delicious, the ambiance was cozy, and the staff were incredibly attentive and friendly special thanks to Parasto
Very good bar with varied choice. Very good service and good atmosphere
Enjoyed time with friends last night Staff good and friendly but got my order wrong, forgot part of it and Im sorry to say my burger was so overcooked and tough My 2 friends food appeared to be enjoyed and was great to be with them again but I dont recommend the burgers
Went for dinner last night on the Patio. Tried the wagyu dumplings off of the new menu. Not impressed at all. The flavour was very bland. The mayo was drizzled all on top of the food rather than able to dip as you please. Ordered a small Caesar salad that came out warm. The Romain lettuce was brown, soggy and I couldn t force myself to eat it. In my salad I did find a random piece of grilled chicken and was concerned how that ended up in there. Drinks were good but have gone way up in price. $9.75 for a draught strongbow and $11 for a 6oz house wine. Our waitress was lovely. Maybe just a bad evening as we ve been to this location many times. Felt bloated and gross all evening. The warm Caesar salad sort of freaked me out. Will be back but please have the kitchen know that they can do much better! We know that!
Ordered steak pie received undetcooked chicken pie. Bartender Justin very good and comped meal
Good food, nice staff. Spacious for big gatherings
Always good
Fun spot, and a great atmosphere
This place is great, despite a minor snafu while here, Zoya made it all better with her service and upbeat personality. 5/5 to Zoya, you are the best!!!
Live music in weekends and they have billiard and dart for enjoying your moments while drinking and waiting for dinner
Was there for a late night meal. Fish and chips hit the spot
The platter was very nice and so was the vibe, Loved the decor and the pool table. This place is cozy and can host a party. Would definitely recommend this if you are around. Wings are a hit or miss unfortunately.
avg pub fare, weak/undrinkable coffee, no small guinness served, water served w/o ice, slow/inattentive service, nice ambiance, patio in summer w/sunset, clean WC, firkin reliability. avoid peak times/sports. fair Q/P
Great pub fare with a modern pub vibe.
Its a big place with nice staff, above average food and quite a few different seats. Great for watching sports.
Fun local crowd intermingles with local artists hashing out screenplays. Also this is the first place I ever figured out how to turn my ice cubes and straw into an ice cube garnish for my beer.
The place is very central, the seating areas are pleasant. It is perfect for enjoying billiard, beer and nachos time, but I cannot say the same thing for the food tastes
Nice place
Athina at this establishment is great, She is Absolutely amazing, always on top, feels so welcome here. She makes this place great. Will returns!!
Our waitress was very attentive My veggie burger was good Good atmosphere Food : 3/5
The Ole Neighborhood bar. This place has gone over some great positive changes in the years. 2 good pool tables, darts and a great amount of space for parties and gatherings. For a local Firkin their food Is good, always fresh. Vegetarian options: Veggies options available
We had a wonderful time reconnecting with our college friends! Its always nice to reminisce and enjoy good food and service. I appreciated the efforts of the staff and management.
Food was good. Id eat their food again. The live band was a good addition to the atmosphere. But the service was terrible. Our table had four different servers because every single one of them we had to flagged down disappeared. One of them literally took one order of dessert from our table and walked away. Who does that? Will never visit this location again.
Had wonderful service. Athina was phenomenal. Always a wonderful time no matter how busy. Pleasant smile and great time. Live music nights great as well. Highly recommend! Thanks Athina and Goose!! EDIT: Back again n this time, Justin, our server/bartender was amazing, indulge in a lil art work on our guiness since its st patty day weekend. Shamrock guiness!!! 5/5 on service!! Parking: Easy
Come here with all my coworkers, great place to hang out after work. Zoya is the best bartender!
The beer is the only thing that is fine about this place. Good for people who just want to party and play a game of pool. This place is gross otherwise. Food
Nice place to hangout with friends, specially for drinking. Service was good and the bartender knew the drinks well. Recommended.
Great place. Been there many times and never disappointed.
My favorite place, good meals and friendly staff s
Athina was great! Chicken curry was scrumptious
Great food and vibe. Athina annd staff were awesome!
Alright spot to hold gatherings.
Great DJ and drinks
Great friendly service as always!! Today we had Parastoo serve us. Drinks were served quickly - always a plus! Parking: n/a
I have been coming to the Goose for over 25 years and as such I m a long term regular a Norm so to speak. The owner Jamie is a truly genuine person and over the years I have become good friends with several staff members. It has a warm welcoming environment pool tables darts and video golf provide added entertainment shout out to parastoo and zoya diaz ash and all former staff members. Love the Goose G
Very nice place, Parastoo was very friendly and catered to all our needs. Highly recommend
Why do I keep coming back to The Goose? Parastoo. An establishment is only as good as the servers. Kind, knowledgeable and professional. Keep up the good work. Its noticed by many!
You should hire more waitresses. It is so hard for them to handle this huge restaurant. Everything is coming late. The food is ok.
Food is always great, atmosphere is always awesome and great service from Parastoo!!! Will definitely return for pool and some drinks.
Poor management. This place was much better. Now, its deteriorating.
Love this place, good vibes and I love zoya! She s so sweet and attentive
Love coming here, always a good time and Zoya always takes great care of us
Awesome place!
The goose and firkin on Leslie is home! Such a vibe and a perfect and warm environment to go and hangout with friends and play pool. The service is absolutely amazing and the manager Zoya gives quick and caring service to all her customer. She is knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. She always provides an exceptional service and provides great recommendations as needed, and she is one of the main reasons why I continue to return to the goose and recommend my family and friends to this venue.
My favourite bar in north York. Always a cozy and comfortable vibe. Zoya regularly serves me and she is the best. Always remembers my name and order
Love the goose and firkin best bar in the city Zoya and Yuri are the best team! Highly recommend.
Been going here for years, food is great, atmosphere is chill, but service is on point! Zoya is usually my server/bartender and keeps me coming back
I love this bard my school comes here all the time zoya always takes great care of us :)
Went in last weekend. The atmosphere was good. We shot some pool. The nachos were not the greatest. The server forgot to bring the repeat order for the cocktail. It was a decent experience though so 4 star.
Fantastic atmosphere !
No good
Nice patio...great ambiance Dietary restrictions: Lots of vegetarian options. Nacho chips were stale. Food : 3/5 |
Awesome staff and great food!!!
Amazing bar food. Will be going back. And also good service
Classic pub feel, very tasty food great selection of beverages. Friendly staff, fast service.
Spent one hour and 20 minutes waiting for a small cup of coffee.
Always great food at decent prices. Plus all the servers are genuinely nice, really like the vibes here.
Love the place and thr chips are sooo good
Nice place to chill in the patio! Good vibes!
Pub fare, good service, cold beer, parking avail
Great place to eat , staff is awesome. Only thing I would change is an update on the atmosphere. Its like a old pub , if thats what they are going for try hit the nail on the head . Besides that its a banger . Waitress said she work there 10 years , you can see why . Takes pride in her job like she owns it . One of the best ferkins Ive been to.
I liked the place and atmosphere. I also liked playing darts and billiard. Very cosy. Food was okay and drinks were good too.
Nice neighbourhood pub food, good service!
We sat at the patio and there was a nice atmosphere. However, I ordered the squash ravioli and it was just bad. It was clear that the ravioli was previously frozen for a really long time. It was rubbery and hard cut. My friends ordered a plate of Nachos, which they enjoyed.
The people is always happy and really servicial making your time in the place a nice one.
Service was GREAT!! Came here with a friend after a concert and had a great time! Super good drinks and pretty fire chicken tenders if I do say so myself
I was really excited to try the chicken pot pie but unfortunately, it fell short on so many levels. 1) Food arrived quickly but the gravy was cold and was beginning to form a film. 2) The pastry shell tasted freezer burnt and was just lacking in flavor. 3) I got the traditional brown gravy but it was lacking body. 4) Peas were the highlight of the dish. 5) Presentation was half hearted.
My spot for yearssss Pet friendly too! Great place feels like home Food
1. Dont sit in the tables at last - outside(patio), as the waiters seldom visit there. 2. When we mentioned them that wed be smoking outside, and when we came back inside, half of the food that we had in the plate was cleared! They didnt have the courtesy to confirm with us before cleaning! The worst part - they charged for the food they took away from us!!
Nice place to hangout with friends.
Nice patio !
Open late Friendly staff Good for a late night snack and drink Pool table Parking: Plenty of free parking
Fun pub..tasty food.Lovely barkeep. Glad my retirement celebration was here. Food
Zoya/Zoia (Apologies, I don t know how to spell her name), she was absolutely amazing! We had such a great time with her tonight! Absolutely made our night :)
Had a great time here with my family. The pasta was amazing and the service was fantastic! Will definitely be returning
Great service and atmosphere, reasonable price, nice and caring staff, specially Zoya who is so friendly and helpful.
Very nice atmosphere, food is great. Zoya especially was great, she was super nice and provided best customer service. I really felt welcomed! I ll surely come back here!
Visited for the second time and was utterly disappointed with the food. We ordered beer, parm fries, chicken wings, buffalo cauliflower and had cookie ice cream for dessert. Food tasted really average. We waited 40min for the dessert and Their Cookie was as hard as the skillet. We sent it back expecting to get a softer one this time but the next one was even worse.
A cozy spot to relax and unwind.
Classic pub-style food. Service was friendly. Atmosphere was calm and lights were dimmed. I enjoyed a beet salad and Buffalo cauliflower. Amenities: 2 pool tables, a patio and TVs.
This place is short staffed on servers. It took forever to get a server after we got our food.
Great service & atmosphere! The wings and tacos were great!
Never again.
Love meeting up with friends for lunch. I like everything Ive tried, from specials to pub favourites. Staff are fun and friendly. Our group chooses the Goose the most often for meet ups.
They had a bad behavior and were so impolite
Great vibe with delicious food and a very helpful waitress! Will go back again for sure
Very delicious food, spectacular service, quality and prices, I would definitely repeat again
This place is amazing for a cool sit down any time. Food is good, service is great and staff are nice.
I waited over an hour for my order tonight and had to cancel it (Uber Eats). Not the first time this has happened. If they cant handle Uber orders, then get off Uber. Thanks for nothing
Short in staff Food was not even close to what we ordered Food
