Went here for dinner for the first time. Thoroughly disappointed. I ordered a burger and my wife got the fish and chips. The buger was decent, nothing special, but definitely on the small side considering the price point. Burger 6/10 The fish and chips was a disaster. When it first came the batter clearly wasn't fresh or made incorrectly. It was soggy on the inside. Seems like the fryer was on too high heat because the outside was darker than golden brown, not burnt, but the inside was soggy, the batter wasn't even cooked through. We sent it back, and the 2nd time around it came back all soggy, inside and out, not crispy like it's supposed to be. The batter slide off the fish like it was some sort of packaging. The staff offered us a slice of cheese cake to go, as remediation, but made us pay for the horrible fish and chips, in which case they shouldn't have charged us for. The cheesecake wasn't good either. Cheesecake 3/10 I've had far better fish and chips elsewhere, and won't be coming back to this establishment and franchise. Fish and chips 1/10 only because the fish was edible but greasy. The staff is kind, courteous, and prompt, the place was clean, bathrooms were clean, both male and female. This place might be for you, but definitely wasn't my cup of tea.

The service was fantastic right from the front of the house to the server. Fast friendly and efficient. Food came out hot and fast. We both had chicken tenders with Hickory BBQ. The sauce was delicious and tangy. Fries were good but a little undercooked. A fun bar atmosphere however was a bit too loud for our liking. If you enjoy sports huge tvs everywhere. Parking was easily found nearby. Enter from inside the mall. Lots of outdoor seating but we stayed inside.

I had the pleasure of being served by Nicole, and she truly made the dining experience exceptional! She was incredibly professional, friendly, and efficient – everything you could want in a server. Not only did she ensure we were well taken care of, but she also went above and beyond by making sure our dog was comfortable on the patio, bringing water and checking in on him throughout the meal. Very pet friendly! The food was fantastic, especially their new dish— the cod, which was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was absolutely delicious. Overall, a top-notch experience. Highly recommend both the restaurant and Nicole’s outstanding service!

Picutes may look like "ok" food, don't be fooled -_- Really dislike posting bad ratings but tonight it has to be done for Gabbys - parkway mall location. The service from both the lady bartender [sorry, did not get her name] and our server Yogi were completely professional and enjoyable, the nicest kind of people. The nachos I ordered were not great, little meat which I chewed for a couple of minutes before having to dispose of it. It was also not ground beef on the nachos but some rather skimpy and chewy mini slices? Husband had the "supposedly " smoked brisket sandwich...it came smothered in bbq sauce, it was not smoked meat at all...no smoke ring, no smoke taste. We are in a heatwave and in this restaurant we were sweating enough to be completely uncomfortable and husband asked the manager why it was so hot and he didn't really have a clear answer as to why. Never again will we go here, this is the 3rd time as we live just across the street we've tried again and again....it always disappoints :( Save your money go someplace else!

The fish and chips are a must, it was lightly battered. The nachos are also very flavourful The beef Brisket burger was a bit dry. Servers are very kind.

4.1 / 5.0 I’ve had some great food and not so great food here. Atmosphere is a lot of fun though- TVs are well placed, and the bar has a nice design and store layout for seating. I liked the patio for the location with an outdoor TV (in a plaza parking lot). I’ve seen the owner working hard, and the staff, they know what they’re doing and are professional. Food - the menus are well designed, I just felt execution could improve. Like the $18.99 buttermilk soaked chicken fingers (signature / made to order - not frozen), we’re not exactly signature (more like thin cut fingers and slightly over cooked). Salad was good. Wings weren’t bad. Pizza was a bit disappointing where it could / should have been better with the potential - the bottom was floppy even when asked for well done (advertised as stone-fired). I had Wings a second time, and they were very good. Crispy, nice size. Would get them again. I would go back to enjoy a game and atmosphere with friends and give the food another chance. I think it could be a 4.3 bar.

Order made at 1040 pm EST. Yep EXACTLY how my high ass got it. 😳 Dem damn taters was freakin 🤤. Eggs are tasty yet dry filled with farm animals. Potato wedges were alright same deal a bit dry. Steak fries dry as all hell no salt more like "meal filler". Wings were ordered "boneless" got regular wings. No real taste or fyah to wings. Wings were not dry nor "steroid mutant" wings. They "deconstructed" da bison samich y'all 😳😳. "Bison meat" dry has no flavor and needs a slight salt taste. Cheese bread dry but flavorful. Butter chicken not bad for bar food. I sang bombs ova Bhagdad as I blew a hole in me pants... definitely try fried tenders and pickles 🤤🤤🤤

September 18, 2022

Wow, they are really leaning into the "Dive" theme now. In spite of the theme, the quality was passing, at least. Uber delivered it as a 2 for 1 deal. I didn't taste or notice anything off on everything except the buns and lettuce. The lettuce was either old, sat outside for a very long time, or was part of a rejected order. I'm leaning to the latter. Same went for the buns. It felt like they were starting to stale up, becoming dry and crumbling. I would go back, only to have drinks. Unopened drinks. The black containers are mine. Not sure why I started to prepare it all to be put away when I'm left with the fries and beef patties only.

It s not often you see an establishment with a great team to go out of their way to make sure you have the best experience possible. We ordered through uber and sadly we were missing one meal. Called the driver and of course I wasn t surprised to find that the driver could care less. Then I called the restaurant to explain the problem and coco the manager fixed this issue immediately and said they were going to figure out a way on how to get our missing meal to us. I wasn t expecting much and honestly we were only expecting maybe a refund. Coco then called back and said someone was coming to drop off the order and one of their staff personally came to drop it off in less than 30 min after the call and we were shocked at the amazing dedication and customer service this place has. We definitely will be coming back!!

First time asked them to put the sauce on the side for the wings. Uh no, too complicated. The result cold soggy wings.,attempted to contact , no reply. Second time. Fajitas, well kind of. Missing the tortillas and the sour cream. Perhaps, in person you can address their consistent incompetence. Delivery not so much Go elsewhere

Matt is the best bartender and server ever. I cant believe how much we ate. His service and speed were soooo good. He kept the napkins and refills flowing during our wing night. The wings were wicked good. Thanks Matt! I hope we get you next time. We eat at this Gabbys a few times every year and I never felt the need to review until he had our table. The food is always good but the service and attention he can give made the difference. Excellent job Matt. I hope the big bosses see that flow. I know we did

We requested upper level but were told no because I had a walker. We always ate there before. We were shown to a table with crumbs all over. We ordered but food came out cold and bread was barely toasted. I ordered brown bread on my western sandwich and got white. Server wrote nothing down. Only one server and she seemed in a miserable mood. We paid, tipped her and left without making a fuss. Previous visits were totally enjoyable. Very disappointing.

I recently went to Gabbys twice. The last time I was there, I really enjoyed my stay. I ordered some drinks with Chicken Cobb Salad. A gentleman named Gowsi brought me the exact drink I asked and a nice young lady named Iman, took my order for salad and brought it as exactly as I asked. The Cobb Salad was tasty in good portion and nicely cut and designed. I will stop by this place again and recommend it to others too.

Can t comment on the food as I wasn t even asked if I wanted a menu. Not once did the bartender - two of them - one was a girl who appears to be finishing her shift. She was very chatty with the girl at the bar seated beside me but she never asked if I wanted anything. The male bartender who took over the girl asked if I wanted a beer. Aside from me asking if he could switch channels, never came to me asking if I wanted another beer or food menu. Busy training another potential bar tender. Terrible bar service. The table service has been good when we ve gone for food and sat at the bar area or dining area.

Food is good. Really good. I havent had a bad meal yet. The atmosphere was pretty solid. Busy but nice. The staff is knowledgeable about the food and friendly. There is music playing and lots of tvs to watch. The patio is okay. Its parallel to a parking lot so not a great view. Not sure that is fair to judge. Its in my write up in case you find that a deal breaker. Parking: Its in mall. So there is lots of parking but you may need to park a fair distance away. Which isnt too far tbh. Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu. The staff is very polite and friendly. Wheelchair accessibility: There is a lower section of the restaurant that is completely accessible. There is an upper section that isnt. The patio is also wheelchair accessible. Same with the parking and mall entrance.

Food is great but i prefer takeout. the atmosphere and decor does seem nice there but i prefer going during the night when the lights are on but it gets a bit busy then though. Dined in a while ago and i enjoyed it and would recommend. I got the a specific burger which i know isnt on the menu anymore but it was good. Also had it for takeout and it was packed very nicely. The meat was in a separate insulating wrap to keep it hot and juicy and the buns with the toppings were kept separately to keep them from getting soggy and they include a lot of fries which id like it be crispier but its okay. Iman is a great waiter and had excellent service

This is the second time weve been to Gabbys when Matt is behind the bar. He consistently keeps the volume so high that its nearly impossible to have a conversation. Last time, we asked him twice to lower it, but he only did so for a few minutes. It seems he doesnt understand that this isnt a typical bar setting. We would appreciate it if Gabbys could post Matts shift schedule online so we can avoid visiting when hes working.

Went to Gabbys for a late night dinner with friends, we were a group of 12 people, our server Kenneth P was extremely obliging to accommodate seating us together. It wasnt easy to get all 12 orders, but Kenneth got everything correctly and was very prompt to get refills when requested. Kenneth is very friendly and attentive. Looking forward to our next late night dinner at Gabbys. Kid-friendliness: Kids menu, with crayons and puzzles for kids.

August 22, 2024

The customer service was extremely poor. They forgot our order twice, didn t allow us to cut the cake, and were very rude.

August 22, 2024

The servers at this restaurant were incredibly rude, specifically when they insisted we couldn t cut a birthday cake there. I understand the no outside food policy, but if the owner, Sami, accepted the cake and kept it in the kitchen without issue, why was it a problem later? Additionally, I asked Yogi, the server assigned to our table, for the soup of the day and he never returned with an answer. Another server even had the nerve to blame us for not ordering food when we were obviously going to order food. In fact there were already drinks on our table .

July 22, 2024

The food and service is great. My only issue is weekends. We took my sister for brunch on a Sunday, and the bar tender was more than an hour late for their shift, and there was one waitress running the very hectic busy day. So that meant no mimosa or bloody Mary or whatever it was tha my sister wanted with her brunch. And the service was terrible because it was one person for the entire floor. And that coffee is always ghastly. Yikes it is bad. Gave them a few chances over several visits, but gave up because it is just that awful. Its the one thing that keeps me from returning for morning meals now, because the food and beer selection are otherwise awesome. So the lack of stars is because of the coffee that they really need to replace. The food is plenty fine.

When we got there, the host showed us the table we reserved, we sat down with my family, and we waited FOR MORE THAN 1h AND 30mins TO BE ATTENDED. We got there at 8pm to watch the Argentina game and at 9:25 I had to stand up, approach someone by the entrance, and ask the girl for service. The food was meh, the service itself was just ok but the long wait really ruined it. Ah! The cherry on the pie, at the moment of paying the bill, the girl with the black sunglasses and the tatoos, she asked us if we were gonna pay cash (which we did) and then asked if we needed the change so my mom said yes we want it, and when she was back she told me oh was the service okay? Im asking because you didnt leave us any tip. That really made me mad about it, and it was so rude from her to ask for a tip after what happened. Tips are voluntary, not mandatory, and employees should not be allowed to demand for it to customers. Ill think more than twice next time before going there.

First time being to this place and what a friendly atmosphere.The staff was super friendly and understanding since me and my husband were at another place and as soon as our two friends joined, the manager quickly gave us another good spot to watch the finals. I saw him and the owner goes to each and every Table to see whether everything is fine . I have not seen such a humble manager on the floor who make sure everything is in order and smooth. I had to ask his name and he said he is Kohulan , Their spicy wings are so good with chef special sauce which manager recommended. Even the server is so friendly. Thank you Gabbys and the team !!

Very average experience service and food prep in the kitchen seem to be somewhat lazy if Im honest... Got ignored in 30° heat on the patio having been seated by a hostess and told somebody would be with me in 2 minutes... 12 minutes later still nothing... Not even a glass of water.... I just left... Not particularly busy and servers everywhere... I hate when you try and catch the eye of a server who hasnt been allocated to you they walk in the opposite direction... Tip culture sucks for the actual customer... I suggest you all pool your tips and work as a team... This is my third visit Ive really tried to give them a go cuz theyre my local patio... Just a below average Chain experience however.

Really disappointed with the food :/ got the chicken wings, the calamari and the mozzarella sticks. Both the calamari and mozzarella sticks were a chewy mess and the portions were embarrassing given the price. Frozen calamari shouldn t cost as much as it did - neither should 5 mozzarella sticks on a bed of lettuce. The chicken was okay, although not crispy at all. All in all we spent 70 dollars on three items and all of them would ve tasted better if we had bought them frozen from the metro next door

As a regular at the king st and the bloor west locations I can honestly say that the wings at the parkway location absolutely suck in comparison. Bummer.

Family of 6, we went to eat lunch on the patio. Blazing hot in the sun and we had dogs tied up. We asked for an umbrella as there was a stack of them unused. We were REFUSED an Umbrella. Umbrellas are against head office policy apparently . But what isn t against policy is turning six hungry and thirsty people away. What kind of policy denies making your patrons comfortable so that they can patronize your business? We live 2 min away and will NEVER be back. Shameful. I have attached pictures clearly depicting all the unused and available umbrellas.

Honestly Id like to start by saying I dont understand this places vision. Almost went a few times and this time we bit the bullet. Food was got and fresh. The Nashville chicken was presented amazingly with a butterflied Fried Breast however it was far off any Nashville flavour. Tasted like franks but was delicious. My fiance got the pizza which was awesome however like my poutine lacked a little salty flavour. Overall would come back again and try some things as it has caught our attention. Just wish I knew their restaurant style it was very jumbled. Had to give it a 4 because overall it all hit P. S. The breakfast looked killer and feel like I missed out on a solid brunch by opting for lunch.

We have ordered lunch from here for the office several times and enjoyed the food and the variety of options. But....we went there tonight and sat on the patio (6 people, 1 small dog) in Ashleys section, and let me tell you....the food could suck (though it doesnt) and I would still give 5 stars because of Ashley. She is friendly, funny, and attentive. I dont think Ive ever had a better server. I would go to Gabbys and specifically ask for Ashleys section if shes working. Dietary restrictions: They have gluten-free options and are very attentive to this need.

If I could give a zero I would. I come her a lot with my mom for lunch and dinner and this place has gone to garbage. I thought I would try again today and order lunch for pick up. Big mistake huge mistake All the waitresses, except for the lady behind the bar are rude. Obnoxious and me to find a new job, not in customer service. I waited while they just stood around and ignored me snd talked to each other. I had to say Excuse me can I get help. They could not find my order, and I had wait for them to make it. The allergies that I put on Under the allergy portion, but still received what I was allergic to. When I returned They did not care. The fact is, I ordered it online at 12 PM for 1 PM. Pick up and they still couldnt find the order. Why have a online pick up system if it doesnt send the order to the store. I will never visit this location or gabbies again. I went back and got a refund.

So I dont need to find reasons to go to this Gabbys. Go and check it out. Oh, and if you should go on half price wings days, be brave and try the parmesan sauce. Have fun.

I had a chance to try this location once back from an Asian vacation and had a really good time, much more so than I expected. Gabbys has always been a comfort source for me during university days so Im happy to see it has relatively kept up with the times with new dishes and offerings. Their wings are still stellar, which made me very happy. The eggs benny were a little basic presentation-wise but tasted great. And of course, the service was super pleasant, just like I remembered it all those years ago. This location is one of the newer ones (I think) and it has a lot of nice touches like a gigantic logo on the ceiling and a replica of the malls opening poster. Overall, a nice comforting restaurant, and a good unfussy time. Parking is always plentiful and free too!

The servers were very kind and patient. The food was amazing and the restaurant offered great entertainment.

Would recommend this place to go with friends to hang out or for special occasions.

I recently dined at Gabbys, and I regret to say that it was a highly unsatisfactory experience. From the moment I entered, the ambiance was lackluster, with a noticeable lack of cleanliness and organization. The staffs behavior was unprofessional and indifferent, leaving much to be desired in terms of customer service. Overall, I would not recommend Gabbys to anyone looking for a pleasant dining experience. The combination of poor service and subpar food make it a place to avoid. There are plenty of other options available that offer better quality and service.

The waitress was nice. the atmosphere at the time I was there, was good relaxed not too crowded. the restaurant was warm and clean, inviting. the fish batter itself was rubbery. But a very good size portion. I requested mine to be well done and it was not crispy ... Came with a very nice size portion of coleslaw and fries. the buffalo chicken loaded potatoes were really good! but the portions of the potato itself was small I found. Overall very enjoyable and great comfortable seating. The large windows and big screen TVs gives you lots of scenery and things to watch while youre waiting for and enjoying your food.

First time booking a party of 24. A huge THANK YOU to Atulya, Yogesh, the Manager, kitchen Chiefs/staff on the night of February 18th. The service was just incredible! Atulya and Yogesh were very attentive and kind. Correct food orders were served to the right people and no one was missed :). Food portions and taste were great and serviced quickly. The seafood platter, nachos, fajitas, and chicken tenders are a must try! One minor critic: menu could definitely expand on the flavours for the chicken tender sauces. Place was really clean and roomy! We would definitely recommend a party there and hope you get served by Atulya and Yogesh :) Wheelchair accessibility: This place is very accessible. Most of the area is a large space with very minimal stairs. Our party was. Placed in a space that had no stairs and very roomy, which made getting around with walkers and crutches easy.

I unfortunately had a bad experience this morning with a staff member at this location. I was at the mall today and needed a napkin/a pice of paper towel. Walked into Gabby s and asked the bartender (Nicole I believe) if I could have one. She asked me if I was a customer to which I replied No I just need a napkin or a piece of paper towel please . Nicole pointed outside of the restaurant to the public mall washroom and told me because I am not currently a paying customer she would not provide. I called her out on her pathetic customer service and just lack of human decency and left to find elsewhere (Shout out to Shahi Rasoi - very good hole in the wall Indian restaurant for graciously providing some paper towels). I returned to Gabby s and asked her name as I wanted to specifically call her out here. She refused and went to get her manager. Manager returned and initially doubled down on not providing I doubt that s the customer service attitude that the Gabby s corporation would be proud of. The manager then back peddled and asked me how much paper I needed. I respectfully declined and walked out. I have been to this and many other Gabby s locations before but NEVER will again. I hope that your Head office sees this post and looks to improve the lack of basic kindness being perpetuated from the top down. -Mitch

Very disappointed in service, and the food was over cooked dried out. I ordered the club sandwich with fries, homemade fries can not be over cooked they dry out the inside. The sandwich well give me stale bread dried out bacon you cant chew one piece of lettuce, drinks, fountain pop warm no ice. Now the Philly steak dried out and had onion peels in it. I worked in food service for 30 years cooking and I know the pressure in the kitchen and if I wouldnt eat a customer would not get it. Very disappointed will never come back. First impressions. I will not recommend Gabbys to anyone. One more thing we waited from the time we entered to when we left to be seated to order to eat. One hour and a half.
