1285 Finch Ave W, North York, ON M3J 2G5, Canada
Spacious, casual alehouse offering draft beer & hearty pub grub, plus pool tables.
Food was ok. Everything came out warmish as if it had been sitting a bit before coming out. They do not take debit, not even visa debit, which would have been nice to know ahead of time instead of having to use their ATM with a fee. Server was pleasant but clearly needed help once the dinner crowd came in around 430pm on a Sunday.
One serves was working there but she did not come and ask to us about our order . Another leidi was working as a bartender which one has a long and red hair, she was so kind and many times we called her about our order. Serves was so rude, unbelievable. Even I asked to bartender to she is working tonight or no because she was only sitting on another table and interest something else maybe with phone I don’t know. We are going this place minimum 3 times per week. Tonight we were in the shock . Don’t keep that serves there guys. It’s very bad advertising for place. ( we were there oct 15, time was around 10 pm. )
Had a good late night after a concert, our server was wonderful and very attentive. Very much appreciated her. The only reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because they don't take debit, but they take credit? Which doesn't make sense, they do have an ATM, but as a hospitality worker, that sounds super shady to me, so make sure you bring cash or at the least tip in cash !
I have been to this particular location many times before COVID. I remember the food being pretty good. But today when I went , the food wasn’t really good. It was really bad . The price has gone up for the portion of food .
Isabella was our server and as everyone said she is phenomenal. Very polite and efficient. Great spot. I had the fish and chips it was excellent. I left the bill in case anyone is wondering how much a pint of Canadian or Coors Light is. You're welcome 😊
I walked into this bar with my friends..... after been walking for hours around the city. The place was welcoming. The service was impeccable, the lady was polite and very helpful My food was ok nothing extraordinary, my cocktail could be better. Prices in this place are middle range.
We had a great time when we visited the Fox & Fiddle! Our waitress Melissa was absolutely super, she not only helped us with our drink and meal selections, she made us out of towners feel welcomed. We had the cobb salad and the beef n' Guinness pot pie, both were very good. This place is definitely worth a try. If this review was helpful to you, please give it a like.
Half price apps and $5 pints before 6 is always a plus! Great service and fast! Lots of patio room and indoor space
Party.
Nice place for a drink and catching up with friends.
Food is nothing special. Low quality. Extremely overpriced menu. Just absurred. Small portions. This place is not the same anymore.
Good testy
Zero point zero garbage place. Manger is a tool
Most disgusting place Ive been to for lunch.
Owner is as unprofessional as they come; if you want to be pissed off or be interrogated .. feel free to see for yourself. What a joke - been going to the Fox since 2013 .. today will be my last day. Don t even get me started about the owner barking at everyone who enters the parking lot. What a fiasco & a horrible unwelcoming environment - what a shame such a great place has gone down the toilet due to the owner driving this restaurant into the ground.
Food was good, service great, building is a little tired,
Extremely friendly and attentive staff that was ensuring everyone s safety. Shoutout to Zen for being so on top of customer service!
Loveeee the foood
Great place for relaxation. I was very impressed with the washroom facility
Everything was not worth the money. The martinis and cocktails were really flat. Could not taste the alcohol in itnot worth it.
Come here for Wings Friday night! Nice experience
Good food and environment!! If you wanna see game
Hidden gem alert .. This establishment stands alone among as some of the best food I ve had. I don t leave a lot of reviews but I came to this restaurant back to back nights to see if it was a fluke after night one and it surly wasn t. Best food, great severs and the owner welcoming me was the cherry on top. Can t wait to be back, I wish I took a photo of the food but I ate it pretty quick without thinking I was going to leave a review. Kid-friendliness: The restaurant also has multiple families that came to watch the game on the big screen projector.. wow, this is a hidden gem.
Their food is good occasionally. Sometimes it s made well and sometimes it s not. They always forget to give dipping sauce when it s off of Uber eats. Food 3.5/5
Worse nachos I ever had was from here. I cant believe an establishment would serve something so bad.
Sat on the patio. Tons of Construction happening in the area. but they have tons of parking available. I felt so bad as the waitress said theyre short staffed. We got our food quickly, we were slow to get refills but we understood what she was experiencing. Large portions. Made sure to tip well. Great service considered all things she was going through.
The food always comes out quick and Sarah is awesome. Great place to catch a game.
I have been going to the Fox and Fiddle for years and the last 2 times I ve been disappointed with the service. I went in with my family and the service was absolutely awful the waitress was busy talking to the other girl there. Our waitress never came to see if all was well with our orders, no checking if we needed refills, I had to get up and fill up our 3 glasses with water. We waited 30 mins for our bill to come to where my son went to remind her that we were still waiting for the bill. The sad part was that it was not even busy there is no excuse for this to have happened. I m extremely disappointed on how this bar is being run and quality to attention the wait staff are carrying out. Highly doubt that I will return to that location
Important note! All locations are different. Which I dont understand. All locations are under the same company, so I would have thought the menu would be the same for consistency. I only went to this location because it was closer. I was craving the flavour from another location though. While the menu was different, i figured it would still taste as mouth-wateringly good. Wrong of me to assume I guess. Also, check the signs on the door because they apparently dont accept debit. But dont worry, theres an atm conveniently there in case you forget smh. For the entire place theres 1, maybe 2 people serving (one of them being behind the bar for the most part). It gets pretty busy because of the big groups that go (at least when I went). Ok np but they need to better manage the floor. People shouldnt have to wait so long just to order or to pay the bill. People had to literally go up to the server to pay. The other thing is that the food is mid. If that. I appreciate the charbroiled burger. Very yummy. I dont appreciate that you have to add sauce to the burger yourself. If you can put it in a container, it costs nothing to put it directly on the burger upon request. The house chips (potato wedges) are not good. Some are cooked to crispy perfection. While most other pieces of wedges are not soft throughout, and quite frankly dry. The soft drinks are also watered down. Idk if i just got them on a bad day. But make sure you read the reviews before making your decision. Also maybe try the dishes recommend by the reviews, especially if its your first time there.
Amazing daily specials and Gray drinks
I ordered the chicken clubhouse for delivery. It was absolutely horrible disgusting. The chicken was not cooked properly, it was like rubber with a burnt grilled taste on the outside. It was not real chicken. It was like fake chicken. The bread was wet and soggy. I used to love this sandwich in the past. It was my favorite. But now, I would NEVER buy or eat it again.
Our waitress was nice, most apps are decent and good half price apps and 5 dollar pints on Sundays...
good portions friendly service
For the last 15 years it had been one of my favorite places, until today. At 4.30pm I ordered food using a delivery app for 8.30pm and they accepted the order. At 8pm when I was waiting and checked the delivery status at the app to know if was on the way, they canceled at 7.30pm. That is unacceptable why didnt they just cancel the order hours earlier when I placed it. Now at 8.30pm I have to start to cook just for the irresponsibility of this place. Im completely disappointed.
A nice spot to just grab some drinks with friends and watch and sport that may be on TV for that day.
The food is decent after 40 minutes of waiting if they decide to bring it to you, the service here is terrible Ive been here atleast 5 times and I hate leaving bad reviews as I used to be a server but the people they hire on as servers are the worse, Im hoping management sees this review as their behaviour is completely unacceptable, arrived at 5 oclock waited to be seated as the servers awkwardly stare at us because we clearly interrupted their conversation, then say you can sit where ever and theres a huge sign at the door saying please wait to be seated, after me and my girlfriend wait for 20 minutes we leave and see 3 servers are all gathered around the bar joking and relaxing even though we sat there for literally 20 minutes without service this is frustrating and incredibly unprofessional, but I fault management for not training and hiring proper staff as me and my friends and honestly everyone who lives in this area knows how terrible the service is at Fox and fiddle, the food is great, drinks are good but the service is always terrible
terrible service, had no choice but to leave after being neglected by servers who were just socializing at the bar
Lovely servers and the best fish and chips!!
Went there with some friends and ordered a double crown royal and coke, I got charged for 2 single shots because their system doesn t have an option to charge for a double so each double was $20+ total, ridiculous, then when it comes time to pay my bill they don t except debit cards/Interac .it s 2022 cmon now you don t have Interac? I will NEVER waste my time there EVER again, food wasn t the greatest either honestly
Writing this from the Restaurant, where after cleaning my own table myself, I asked for and received a glass of water then the server gave me a menu precisely 37 minutes ago never to return again yet! Noting that there is only 8 other patrons in here at 4 boots and one person at the bar. And I count 2 servers and a bartender. Leaving now. Thanks
Used to luv this joint for their great burgers, Lately however although the prices have gone up (same as everywhere) their food quality has greatly diminished. I too, like Isiah hate to leave bad reviews because I know it may hurt the business but they need to do something about their God aweful service as their waitstaff simply Dont give a single faq. Alas just the fact that the owners of this establishment NEVER EVER respond to the reviews should tell you how much they give a faq about their customers opinion!
Use to be great. But now the take out portions are really small , under cooked and less selection
First time there got some wings pretty good wings to! Will go back
Terrible service and the food was dry and bland dont waste time by going other better places around without a doubt and the owner is the worst part with no respect for customers
Yummy food
Fun little place...a little aged but that is fine to.
Not a bad little spot. Food was decent and the service was good! A little outdated.
Beautiful place to be in.
Rhey do not carry any white claws, vizzy or any kind of selser drinks. It would have been great if the kids menu had free drink refills. But a great place to watch a sporting event.
Good food, Great service
Kind staff, Clean tables, Very Welcoming. Sporty ambiance. Delicious meal.
Food was excellent except dessert which was poor and wildly overpriced
The owner interrogated me in the parking lot just for parking. Asking if I was a customer. I said yes I ll be coming in for lunch. He said if not I ll be towed! No need to threaten a customer. I will never leave my hard earned money there! I left and went where I was welcomed.
Nice pub to chill with friends.
If youre into laid-back bars and wings then this is the place
Pretty standard pub
First time here, and we really enjoyed ourselves. The food was amazing! and the server was sweet and quick. Thank you!
The food is really good the waitress was very friendly and helpful
Ive been here many times but lately things have been going downhill. The whole area is under construction which isnt their fault but still makes the place noisy. Ordered the Sheppards pie and the meat at the bottom was like soup. Wife had the grilled cheese and had to send it back because the cheese wasnt even melted. Overall not a great experience. Gave it 3 stars because its usually better than this.
Expensive and small portions. Not worth it dont recommend
The chef is a jerk. I feel bad for the waitresses that have to deal with him. I don t know how hes been there for so long. I occasionally dine in and everything is always good with the service. However today I decided to order a poutine for pick up. I asked for some wedges to be put aside before throwing the gravy and cheese on top and was told the chef refused . So I said can i order everything separately and he still refused. I dont understand how hes able to do that. Poor waitress then called me back and said i can only order wedges and gravy separately. How bizarre!
excellent place very friendly people
Great food and service overall. We had a good time here :)
there burgers are sooo good wish it didnt have to end i highly recommend
Server was great! I got a burger. It was a sub par pub burger. Fries were wedges. I expected pub fries. Couple flies annoyed me for the meal. Expensive for the quality of food.
Great news place for a quick lunch. Meaty wings and good sized entree salads. Washrooms are a long hike to the basement!
Fox and Fiddle, a grungy local bar that embraces its outdated aesthetic with unapologetic charm. The dim, lived-in space exudes a relaxed vibe, making it an ideal spot for those who appreciate authenticity over flashy decor. Behind its unassuming facade lies Fox and Fiddles true magic its food. The menu delivers unpretentious, hearty grub that goes above and beyond. From the robust signature burger to the soul-warming two-for-one deal on the chicken fajitas, each dish is a flavorful punch, elevating this dive bar into a must-try foodie location. Our waitress embodied the spirit of Fox and Fiddle with her attentive and friendly service. Well-versed in the menu, she offered insightful recommendations. The staffs commitment to making us feel at home makes this dive bar experience unforgettable. Fox and Fiddle may have seen better days in terms of decor, but its unapologetic grunge and outstanding food make it a local gem worth discovering. Whether youre there for the vibes or the grub, this dive bar promises an authentic experience that lingers long after you leave.
Isabella absolutely smashed todays service. An absolutely lovely steak fajitas with some fresh veggies. The steak was nice and hot and juicy, and the atmosphere was nice and friendly. I would return in a heartbeat. Thanks for the wonderful feeling, warm regards, Raymond. Parking: The parking lot across the street is fenced, but is available and good. Wheelchair accessibility: The bathroom is NOT wheelchair accessible.
the worst kitchen manager i ve ever talked to his name is vicky
Kid-friendliness: Has kids menu. Coloring kits. Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair friendly. Food : 5/5 |
Excellent wings. Cheap on Tuesdays! Great staff too! Always remember your name
Sofia Does good Job she gave me a really good burger and it tasted good, i like burger, i like fox and fiddle, i like sofia. 5 stars.
Ordered a Greek salad last night via Uber eats. Found an old Avacado in my salad. An Avacado I paid extra for. Disappointing!!!!
The owner is tooooooo much rude
Nice place for socializing
Great place to eat, nice patio setting and also great pool tables downstairs with more seating and a second bar. Suggest if youre in the area to check it out.
Good prices, large portions and excellent service
Fajitas 2X1 on Wednesday! It was great!
Horrible food
IMO they have the best wings in Toronto - they also have great daily specials (two pounds of wings for the price of one on Tuesday).
One of the best bars in the city as far as I m concerned The food is all fresh and handmade, and everything on the menu was fantastic! The staff is all friendly, well-informed, and the place is clean as a whistle!
Terrible. Not organized. Way to long for food. It took 1 hour and 57 minutes for a pasta
Pool table was closed. Pulled pork poutine was pulled and my meal was a mess
Love that the Tuesday 2lbs for the price of 1lb wing special is still ongoing even after COVID!
Watched a leaf game (with the sound on) and the atmosphere was electric. Ordered the rib and wing deal and it was delicious. Can t wait to go back!
A nice place to go with friends
Nice place to be there for draft beer.
Pub style food and drink. Used to be Miami Bar and Grill back in the day. Not bad for a bite and a drink.
Good service and nachos
I ordered 2 nachos and cheese with extra sour cream. Also a Greek salad. This was the worst food Ive ever ordered from anywhere. I specifically said no hot peppers and both orders had loads of them and didnt receive extra sour cream which I paid for. The nachos were so soggy and looked very unappetizing. There was very little cheese as well. The Greek salad I ordered was soggy because they put the dressing on it which made the leaves soggy and didnt receive the extra feta cheese I requested. By the time it arrived the nachos were very cold and because of this had put a damper on the night as I was celebrating my birthday and decided to splurge a little on food. My company and myself couldnt eat any of the nachos because of all the hot peppers and it cost me $90 just for a Greek salad and 2 orders of nachos. Guaranteed that I will never order from this place again or from Uber Eats.
I ordered 3 appetizers. The calamari were so chewy and tasted burnt $15.99. The panning of the Mac & cheese was burnt $13.99. The coconut on the coconut shrimp was burnt $15.99. Extremely poor quality for the extravagant price.
Is fine for a quick pint or caesar. Food is pretty meh if you want something beyond chicken fingers
Go here with buds occasionally. Food is pretty good, especially when they have their specials like 1/2 price appetizers. Service is ok however, when it gets busy it may take a while for the server to get to you. Update: Post pandemic the food menu is very similar. Service is a lot better. Our waitress checks up on us more. The downstairs that had pool tables is closed off.
Would have put a -1 if I could have ..the server that sat us down wouldnt take our order even though we knew exactly what we wanted from the menu this week. She said someone would come in a very unpleasant way we sat in the same spot from the week before because we actually liked the girl from last week so we decided to hit up this place again today after work but had to leave after 15 minutes of waiting ...wont be back
It was taco night here and the tacos were quite good.the service was just OK could have been faster
I just finished eating Lunch here I came for the wings and they were burnt secondly while were leaving the owner comes out yelling telling us our car will be towed away next time like what!?!?!? SO UNPROFESSIONAL I told him we just finished eating there... honestly such a waste of my money and Ive been going there since I was 16 years old im 32 years old now .... they have changed so much i always try to give them the benefit of the doubt but they always disappoint never again.
Lovely staff. Were always kind and welcoming and really took a liking to us. We got a simple pitcher of beer and since it was one of our members birthday, they gave a shot on the house. Never managed to get any food but would recommend due to how welcoming they were.
Thanks for having Gluten free!!!! Great meal.
Great lunch spot! Big up the kitchen they always turn out great pub food; The front of house are friendly and welcoming too. Definitely recommend!! Parking: Here
Awful nachos.
The ambience is nice. The waitress was sweet. The food though was middling at best and the drinks were very, VERY watered down and rather unrecognizable based on what they said they were. It has a lot of promise but just is too expensive for the meh overall quality.
Patio is great. Also all of their appetizers were served half the price on Sunday and also well prepared. I loved the ambience of the place. Location is good as well.
Adrian is the best guy
Enjoyed the food, staff is excellent, Adrian made us feel welcomed & provided great service!
Did not like this place at all. Dont even want to share the experience. My recommendation travel a little further for a better experience.
Rude
The place was sprawling with flies. Nothing special apart from this.
Not busy....food was quick and tasty. Half price appetizers and beer sale on a Sunday. Patio looked great too on this sunny day. Free parking.
Vegetarian options: Good Dietary restrictions: N/A Parking: Tite Kid-friendliness: Ok Wheelchair accessibility: Ok
Good pub fare, fast friendly service
Wheelchair accessibility: There is no accessibility for any wheels
Wings were terrible and the waitress both time I ve gone seem depressed with their job
Very comfortable and nothing fancy. I enjoy visiting this place.
Horrible experience, greasy food and disgruntled owner.
The waiters are not prompt
Great food and atmosphere
Found a beatle looking bug in our nachos. Old carpet floor.
Amazing and cheap tacos for thursday night. I must recommend the Baja Fish Taco
Not a 5 star experience due to lack of expertise in the bar department. The food was acceptable yet delicious for a drunk individual. Expanding more on the drunk individual aspect, the margaritas suuuuuu*ck! Watered down and icey for no reason. I started the night with a strawberry margarita and then had to add a shot of tequila cuz u know why! Then asked for a regular lime margarita then it was okay but still too watery! So just stick to beer here! The names on the cocktail list were interesting not apealing! Purple pussy was more like oh but not oooooh if it was called pink beautiful pussy I may have ordered it. Sana did a beautiful, amazing and awsome job serving us! She deserves a raise! No cap
An enjoyable atmosphere, been going here for years on and off. Food is great and service is great.
Very nice place
This place reminds me of the show Cheers.greatcplace to hang out with friends and it has a lot of TV screens to watch sports.
They have the greatest chef.
The most pathetic place I have been at ,took over thirty minutes for the server to come and give us the menu s and another twenty minutes to come and take the order that too when it wasn t busy at all ,I can only imagine how long it would take if it were ever busy
Its always a great spot to go convenient it has a patio beers on tap wonderful service but its a little pricey maybe its because I havent went out in a while but its our neighbourhood spot and thats what we got
They do not take debit cards only cash are credit
Waitress flirted with my family member all night making it uncomfortable at the table. There was water all over the table and she placed my menu directly in the water on the left side of the table so that it created a mess. She served myself burnt cauliflower bites as well as ignored the fact that they were not edible even when I brought that point up. The vegetarian quesadilla my family friend ordered was delicious of course! Had to share with him since she ignored me. The waitress also talked about carpet cleaners which also made me not want to continue to stay. We had to request our cheque 3 times, then she continued to be unprofessional after we waited close to 30 minutes to even be able to pay to leave. I will never return to this location because of the bad service.
Never give napkins always have to ask for it. Place is clean and decent.
Great wings and burgers, a little expensive but good food and nice staff. No debit,only cash or credit .. which is a bit odd.!
The waitress kept coming many times in only 2 hours we spent there. They should give some space to their customers.
Still kicking it around the block. Keep it up!
Wow great hospitality with great food!!!
Nice pub in a rough neighbourhood.
Nice place, good staff and servers been here a couple times for pub food cravings and was not dissapointed
This place is fantastic. Its pretty standard for a Fox and Fiddle however its the staff that makes them truly special. We had a fairly large work party there the other night - everything went smoothly. Our server Cathy was phenomenal - she was really busy with our party and two other 8+ person parties, but she managed to stay on top of everything. $3 tacos, $6 tequilas, cant go wrong with that. Thanks so much for a great evening! We will all definitely be back on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday.
Wings were good 10 bucks for frys......
My wife and I came here for dinner, and had such a great time on the patio! Our server Cathy was fantastic!! She went above and beyond to make our night special!! Thanks Cathy + the Fox & Fiddle staff!
Great place old style Brittish setting and fare. 50% deals on sharables in the menu Sundays and 3 till 6 pm through the week and the same for two kinds of beers aswell. All 50 % off at those times and all day Sundays.
They have good food, reasonably priced also. They could do better on staff.
Wwwoo nice place
The staff is very friendly but you cant complain about the food because the staff is scared of the chef, and if you do complain he comes out very aggressive to tell you how his food is good
We went on Tuesday for the wings and let me tell you that they were really good. The last star is missing due to the fact that I asked for 4 alarm and they werent hot at all. A bit disappointed. We have been going to this location for the last 15 years and will always have a special place as one of the family favorite restaurant stops. Please do not be discouraged because everyone else enjoyed their meal and were completely happy and satisfied with their order. I will definitely go back!!!
I loved it
I love the fox and fiddle, The food is terrific, everything is good Everyone is very nice, You can play pool downstairs, Stay as long as you would like, have a drink relax, company is good
Great place go there on Sundays have amazing food. They have deals on different days of the week so I deffinilty recommend. Drinks are pretty good too and the staff are great
Taco night on Thursday is a great deal.
Its a very good place to dine
great staff..cozy...very much a local pub!
Bottom of the quesadilla was burned, but not all of them. Taste was so so
Was nice friendly respectful staff cant complain I enjoyed it
So I used to come to this location more often pre-covid, and decided to give it another whirl. I originally craved the pulled pork poutine they had once upon a time, however since they didn t have it anymore, I decided with the Guinness beef pie thing, (was torn between shepherds pie and potato skins too) but with the freshly fallen snow, I don t regret my choice. (Despite having it for take out, and having bussed all the way from keele to don mills with the food, I will say that the quality was pretty decently kept despite the cold and travel time before nomming) Everything about the dish was generally very tasteful, and I quite enjoyed it. My only ripe might have been with perhaps the crust topping of the pie, seemed a little extra on the chewy side, however it still nommed just fine with the meat and gravy and mushrooms. I think perhaps next time I will try to enjoy it dined in, but for the fact I didn t want to make anything myself, and the general atmosphere of the place has stayed relatively same over the years, (chilled at the bar for abit while waiting for the food), I can happily say I ll definitely be coming back again nonetheless.
5 stars strictly off the fact that this is the owner pub in my area that is open till 2 AM every day. Reliable and convenient.
Love the butter chicken that they have. Always good hot food. Servers are great as well! Always stop by when Im in Toronto
Good environment and friendly staff. A bit pricey tho
