The 5 stars are all for Tanya, what a great bartender! Her services is honestly so rare for this city. Very warm and friendly giving major small town vibes and it makes you sort of miss that small town warmth and friendliness.

I've dined here and had take out twice over the past two years. Food is good but don't waste money on the appetizers. They are the price of a meal, very small portions. I got take out and ordered potato skins they were very small and dry. We ended up tossing them, and it cost about 17$ . Just stick with the meals.

I have been going to this pub for years. Nice little hidden gem. Food is fantastic portion s are huge. Great service (professional). Couple of the servers have been there few years which tells you something about the place. Had turkey dinner for take out and stayed for wings. Delicious... loved it. Highly recommended!

Food is good but understaffing causes some bad customer service and attitude towards customers. Long wait time for food on Friday nights and weekends! Visited this location for a dinner, was fairly crowded, there were only 2 staff members present, a chef and a server (who also did everything else). The owner should take critical action as they're overworking some unhappy staff. Ordered a Fajitas and Starter Platter. The starters took one hour; Fajitas arrived 15 minutes after. When I asked the server about the food duration and the fact that plenty of takeout was being catered to and how it was unacceptable to keep customers in store waiting for an hour. The server broke out and was temperamental, told me not to pay and will pack the Fajitas when it's ready as I mentioned we won't be waiting anymore. Giving the server some time, I then went inside to pay and mentioned how it may not be her fault but it's also no way to deal with anyone. I did give them a large tip as I genuinely felt bad for them being overworked.

First time at Gabbys was customer Christmas party. What a fantastic time!! Both bartenders ,Sarah and Tonia ,were absolutely amazing. Even tho they were busy with their regulars they still made me feel like I was part of the crowd. Tonia even took the time to introduce me to a few so I d feel more at home . Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming.other than an older gentleman who politely told me where to go in no uncertain terms while out smoking. But I was told that he s a long term regular and he s always rude to everyone and not to let it deter me from coming back. So aside from that unpleasant exchange the next time I m in Toronto I ll be sure to drop in for a pint. Hopefully both the lovely Ladies will be there again!

Worst experience I had. There was customer who came 15 minutes after us got their food (fish & chips) before us. We were 4 of us, and 2 of our meals was salad with chicken which shouldnt take long, And when my meal finally almost came out she drop it on the ground. There was no manager there to complain to or to ask for a discount for waiting so long. Never go back there again.

I walked into this place approximatley 1145pm. Google showed open until 1am, decided to try and grab some grub after a long day at work. I was with 2 friends, immediatley sat ourselves at the bar. The bartender was in the kitchen, she did not see us walk in, she made eye contact after sitting for 5 min , turned off the light in the kitchen and walked over to a table. Wings looked fresh on that table, maybe 2 other tables occupied , after 10 min of sitting at the bar, the bartender approaches the bar and at this point, still did NOT acknowledge us. I had to get her attention and asked politely if the kitchen was open, and what time the closed. She didnt even make eye contact, responded with a no. And 1100pm( although the wings at the booth were looking fresh). You could clearly see she did not want to talk to us, and she was not welcoming AT ALL. Decided to leave and have a drink elsewhere seeing as the bartender clearly was not happy that we were there. I have been to gabbys once , I will never return to a gabbys location after my experiemce. But hey, overall google shows a 4.3 reveiw.... maybe she was having a bad day .

It s 7:00 pm on Saturday March 18th, we came 3 adults and 2 children and waited by the entrance for good 5 minutes, staff avoided eye contact (someone actually left to back of house) and no one came to us to get us seated despite plenty of empty seats. We were excited for a Gabby s Wing experience same as we had at a Mississauga location however this Bloor location certainly disappointed the excitement. Thank you

We visited on Easter weekend with a group of 5 people, three generations and everyone loved their meals. Turkey dinner special was delish. 2 sandwiches made to order for my girls were devoured. Fish tacos were a huge portion - had to take one home. Burger was so great and so were the wings. We will be back! Server was a delight and she treated us like family.

The wings here make me want to move to the neighborhood permanently. These are legitomately the best wings Ive ever had - get them grilled, you wont regret it. Partner had a great club sandwich, too - and the house chips are amazing. Especially for a small pub on a busy street, this place is amazing. Id rather go here than somewhere fancy. Edit: We ended up coming to Gabbys for 3 of our 4 nights in Toronto and I have 0 regrets. Everything we ate was delicious, Judy treated us well, and I had more wings in that week than Ive had all year. I wish I could pick it up and bring it home with me! Please eat some wings here for me. Vegetarian options: Some veggie options, expect lots of cheese alongside a few salads.

I ordered chicken platter which did not mention anything about becon in it. And after the dish came to the table we came to know about becon in it. and the taste of food was also not good. Really had a bad experience.

Bartender is a fun lady and super attentive. The wings were plentiful, though I warn people that chili lime tastes more like chili powder than anything else. I was expecting something more like Thai chili. The mozzarella sticks are also served with salsa instead of marinara which was a trip. Very reasonable prices.

Placed an order for pick up through Skip the Dishes. My husband went to pick it up after 25 minutes and they said they saw the order and deleted it as it went through. He had to show them our receipt/confirmation and they apologized and made our order. After another 25 minutes, they forgot one of our meals and messed up another.
