My first time at this pub/restaurant and I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was just looking for a place to pass some time and have a quick dinner while my daughter was at work. The service was top notch. The food was all freshly prepared and delicious. I had the chicken on a bun with a side of Caesar salad. The wine was good. The atmosphere was friendly and seems like there are locals who frequent the establishment which is always a good sign! Turkey dinner is on the menu for Thursday for American Thanksgiving.. Xi might just have to come back!!

What a great restaurant TKO's is. The food is great, the atmosphere is perfect, and Mary is just magnificent. Their fries are freshly cut, and if you order them, make sure to get the gravy to compliment them, because it's fantastic! Thanks, Mary, for making our evening so fabulous. Cheers!

Went here for a leafs finals game - so happy we found this gem of a spot! Food is all apps/quick bites but went perfect with drinking. Mary runs the whole show herself - serving, bartending and making every customer feel super welcome. She takes the time to chat with everyone and make them feel at home, while running the whole show! We will definitely be back.

Love this pub! Mary is amazing, great service, and food is all made in house. The broccoli soup was the best I've ever had. Loved the spaghetti and meat ball special too and the cheeseburger. Once you go once it'll become your local spot. Shhh don't tell too many people I still want to go back ;)

Great no nonsense neighbourhood bar with a cosy retro feel from the decor to the fabulous classic rock soundtrack. Sit in a booth, at the bar or at the front tables. Great for solo dining or nights out with friends. Owner Mary is an absolute star, making everyone feel at home whether a regular or first time visitor. She always makes great dinner suggestions - Ive never been disappointed. Numerous draught offerings including Murphys Stout (gets my vote), and multiple screens for watching sport. The kitchen serves up a nice variety of pub favourites - wings are a must try. Bone basket a great touch. Daily specials are always excellent, and if you are in on a Friday go for the fish and chip special. No glitz no glitter, just a nice place to hang out. NB Toronto typical design with WC down a flight of stairs but its well lit with a hand rail so its definitely navigable even if you use a stick..

Neighbourhood bar with an extremely warm host and comfortable seating. Ok Selection of Beverages, and regular pub food. A place to relax with friends, or just to unwind quietly. Daily specials change it up to offer some variety. Its not a trendy spot, more of a staple of the community to grow attached to. Simply put, I like it here.

I had ordered nachos and the customer service was absolutely and utterly disastrous. I ordered a meal [nachos], the waitress had given me the wrong order, I wanted to refund the meal and the waitress was only willing to take off $2!!!!!! Mind you the food was NOT good to begin with! My concerns caution anyone wanting to go to TKOs the Sports Pub!

my favourite place in the world for a pint and wings.

December 22, 2018

My cousin and i decided to go to tkos for a change to try something diferent . My cousin decided to get the bacon burger and upgrade the fries to a poutine was told it was 7 dollars charge she decided to go for it .... little did we know she got ten fries on her plate who pays 7 dollars for 10 fries . We were told had to get a pop in order to get the special which is a half price burger so we did all in all the pop tasted lawful. Once the bill came we tried to speak to the old lady who was our server. We told her the pop was not good she told us in a rude tone she has been serving it all day and i was the only one with the problem. Then i tried to explain why i had to pay 7 dollars for 10 fries she slammed her hands on the table and yelled at me said there is nothing she can do . She was rude and i think the owner there was alot she. Could do first apologize , second do not slam your hands on the table especially if you are the owner . The burger was hard and burnt. My experience was disgusting and poor. I will tell everyone about this horrible place and horrible service from the miserable old lady.

The potatoes skins were way too thick. Well done on the outside and hard and uncooked the middle. I was a cook for years and it isnt that hard to scoop them out better. They used to be great at this bar. Now the food is a hit or miss, and the service that used to be the best ever is now a bit rude, unattentive and they screw up a lot. Too bad. They have such potential.

Great atmosphere for watching the game. Server was pleasant without being over bearing. Left us in peace to watch in peace, offered more drinks when we were thirsty. Super friendly regulars, great conversation. Wings left something to be desired, but still highly edible. Will definitely go back next time I need an HD sport fix.

December 22, 2016

Very rude manager. Me and my friend went there today and ordered some cocktails (very simple ones like: a manhattan, and martinis) the bartender seemed to not know how to make these very basic cocktails and told us to order beer instead. But the manager stepped in and made them for us; me and my friend were very quiet, seldemly talked, werent rude, and tipped very well, however, after 4 drinks in the span of 80 minutes the manager came out and told us that she couldnt serve us anymore and that we had to leave. I was very puzzled by this since again, we were polite, quiet, and didnt do anything wrong, not to mention we werent even intoxicated, so I asked for the reason of eviction, she told us that we drank too much and that we werent allowed to be served more alchohol. I had 4 drinks and my friend had 3. Ive never been kicked out of a bar in my life, yet alone after 4 drinks. The whole situation seemed bizzare to me, but long story short, inexperienced bartender (she was nice though) and very rude manager, would not recommend this place to anyone.
