Outrigger in Toronto

Really liked this place. Had steak and eggs. Lots of space. Good light. Service was excellent. I will be back.

A few weeks ago, I was there on a Saturday. The food and atmosphere (the band) always create a good time. Bartender Connor makes an excellent espresso martini and is attentive and very personable. Will visit again

Have had great drinks and snacks this time around. Service has been exceptional last few visits

I recently had dinner at Outrigger, and it was an experience that was out of this world. I went for the rotisserie chicken with rice, and it did not disappoint It was well-seasoned, tender, and bursted with flavor. The rice was light and paired perfectly with the chicken. The staff were professional and attentive, ensuring everything was spot-on throughout the meal. Outrigger is definitely a place worth checking out for a lifetime experience.

Great food with a lot of choice. Thivekha and Mathew were first class waiting staff because they were pleasant knowledgeable and had a genuine wish to serve. A great spot for lunch. Parking: .

Food and everything is so good.

The burger ingredients were all from Costco, especially the Kirkland burger buns and the frozen patties (I know this because I literally use the exact same ingredients at home), so paying 23 dollars for it was a genuine slap to the face.

This used to our favourite place in the beach. Great patio and great food. They have been struggling for years to find staff. We gave it another go tonight with no success. It was a disaster. I am amazed they have not had to close. 1/4 full on a Saturday night. I believe the rest of the customers gave up before us.

Food was great and well priced. Service was also fabulous!! Thanks Dan!

Food was good and the service was great! Thank you Dan!!!

Customer service was poor. Waited for 20 Mins for the server to order anything plus the restaurant had was empty . The food was not good, but recommended would be the wings only !! Food

Got the artic char and lobster benedict. Highly recommend the special menu, great service from Dan, Ome, and Matt!

A party of 3 went onto Outriggers yesterday for a late lunch. We where greeted immidiatly at the door by Mathew. Finding an actual smile when dining out now a days is very rare, but Mathew had plenty of those with the most pleasent and fun personality, and that should have told me how good our experience would be! Mathew was also our server and attended to us with swiftness and care. We ordered chicken quasedillas, chicken parm sandwich and seafood linguini. I cannot rave about the food enough. I ordered the chicken quasedillas and I am betting these are if not number 1 then tied for the best I have ever had in my life!!! My son ordered the chicken parm sandwich and he left nothing on the plate. His father had the seafood lingunini which was full of shrimp, large and fresh, salmon, calamari and mussels. I watched other food going to other tables and started thinking what should I have next time here??? I live in Burlington but this place is definatly worth the drive. Whilst there I had the opportunity to go to the kitchen as I wanted to thank the chefs. Was speaking with Mathew and he said I should and showed me to the back. Let me say that until 2 years ago, I have over 45 years in the service industry, so seeing a kitchen when no one is warned I am coming, has at times led to some questionable conditions. NOT HERE AT OUTRIGGERS!!! The kitchen looked amazing. Clean, clean , clean and I was sooo happy to see that. I met chefs Varithan and Ceelan and thanked them for the superior food. What a amazing staff Outriggers has :) Blessings to all. Then came the bill.........I was shocked....For all we had it was so crazy reasonable I had to look again as I was sure that a drink or two may have been missed but NOPE!! Three 9 oz glasses of wine, 2 Murphys, a holy macaroni they went out of their way, ice coffee plus all the food that the portion size was quite large, for $150????? If I could give more stars I would. Do not miss this gem. I will definatly be back. Now I must start thinking about what to have........

Ordered on Uber. Never again. Food is border line dangerous for human consumption.

We tried Outrigger for the 1st time and we were so impressed! The menu had so many options, and everything we tried was really delicious. We started with the toasted pumpkin soup, then the steak salad and hubby had the ribs & wings. Everything was super delicious, we ll bring the kids next time for sure. And our server was so kind, helpful and cheerful, was super attentive and a delight! Go check out Outrigger, you ll enjoy!!

The service was good, and the food was amazing. The patio has a lovely atmosphere, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. Would definitely recommend!

The service and food was too good. Thank you guys to serve me this delicious panko sandwich.

Really cute laid back atmosphere with great food, great service, great prices...cant waot to go back 10 more times, Dan was an amazing waiter he even let us know that a great 80s band was going on soon in case we wanted to stay for that. Thaks for a fantastic lunch!

The breakfast menu at Outrigger exceeded the expectations of us. The eggs and steak were perfectly cooked, with the steak being soft and the eggs being just how I asked. I liked that I could personalize my meal with multiple sides and egg choices because there were plenty of options. The French toast was particularly good; it had the ideal balance of softness within and crispiness on the exterior, with a hint of sweetness on top. The fruits on top just made it more tasty and the nuts to top it off. The meal was made even more pleasurable by the friendly and professional service, as well as the relaxing mood created by the outdoor area. I definitely recommend the Outrigger for an excellent breakfast.

Very good restaurant with a very nice patio. The staff is very friendly and theyll help you pick something from the large variety on the menu. They also have weekly specials which are very good. The Lamb Quesadilla from the special menu and the seafood heaven salad from the main menu were very good!

Great location to grab a bite after enjoying a movie at the Fox, but pack your patience. We arrived and were seated indoors at 5:30 pm on a Sunday evening. No one was seated on the patio d/t rain and it was not busy inside (3-4 tables tops, two servers working). Drinks we ordered shortly after 5:30 pm arrived after 6 pm. Dinner we ordered at 6:30pm arrived just before 8 pm. People popping in for a drink or two were served immediately and out the door within a half hour of their arrival. Food was definitely worth the wait, though, delicious, good sized portions, and fresh. Highly recommend the chicken kebabs! Server was friendly but seemed oblivious and unapologetic about our long wait.

My daughter loved the kids meal. I loved the omelette. Dan provided excellent service and the atmosphere was outstanding.

Dan was a very charming server!

We make a point of coming back at least once a year for lobster eggs Florentine. They are from the gods! Dan was our server today and he is especially charming. The staff is always so hosplitable and helpful. THANK YOU Outrigger team!

I should ve read the reviews before coming to this restaurant. Our waitress was friendly, and the patio was lovely, but unfortunately, that s where the positives end. I ordered the Outrigger burger, and it was the worst burger I ve had in a long time. The beef patty tasted like it came straight from the cheapest frozen meat aisle at the supermarket and went directly to the pan. It was dry, hard, and completely unappetizing. For $20, it was a total waste of money. To make matters worse, I developed a terrible stomach ache right after lunch. I would never go back.

Love the BBQ burger, Dan provided great service. Best patio in the beaches

Great service. Lovely server ( blonde lady)

Really lovely place! Very nice food,great ambient and Dan is an awesome waiter! Would love to visit again next time im in Canada! Food

The worst! I read the Google reviews and thought this would be a good place. The server was awful!! She didnt give us the option of fries or salad per the menu, the drink I ordered took forever and it was horrible! Watered down lime juice trying to pass for a margarita. The butter chicken wrap was so so and the grilled cheese was awful-how can you mess up a grilled cheese? And to top it all off it set us back almost $60!!!! I try very hard to not give a bad review, to let it go. But when you pay that much money for crap service/food and drinks, I would hate to think that other people will have the same experience. Save your hard earned money and go somewhere else.

Outrigger is a fantastic spot, especially for pasta lovers. Their seafood penne is a standout, packed with fresh, flavorful ingredients. The pasta is consistently delicious, and the service is top-notch friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The real highlight, though, is their patio. It offers a relaxed, beautiful setting, ideal for enjoying a meal outdoors. The atmosphere is inviting, making it a great place for both casual dining and special occasions. Highly recommend!

Waitress was rude. Let us wait 15 minutes and then when we asked them to take our orders they said it is the Jazz festival people have been waiting for 20 - 30 minutes.

The food tasted average. I ordered the Italian sausage ravioli. It was abit spicy for my liking, but was good. The bbq ribs with mashed potatoes was not good. The mashed potatoes were very dry.

I was excited to try this restaurant after seeing the menu online. Arrived at 7:30, we were promptly seated and given waters. We left at 9:15 without our entrees. No explanation from the staff, though Connor was still very polite and tried his best for us. The patio was very cosy, however every table was complaining about the service and we hoped to have better. Some of us were fine to have our food packaged to go, I was not. After asking for it to be taken off, they brought my burger anyway and said here just have it, however it was still on the bill (Connor fixed it instantly). There didnt seem to be a manager on site and they werent very busy so Im not sure where they fell apart. I will not be back.

I recently had lunch on the patio at Outrigger, and I have to say, it was fantastic. The service was top-notch - our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The patio itself was a great spot to relax and enjoy the meal. The atmosphere was laid-back but still had a lively vibe, making it a perfect place to unwind. Now, about the food - amazing! I tried the Grilled Balsamic Beef and Lamb Kebab from their new special lunch menu, and it was delicious. The meat was cooked perfectly, tender, and full of flavor. The balsamic glaze added just the right amount of tanginess. All in all, it was a great experience. If you re looking for a place with great food, excellent service, and a chill atmosphere, definitely check out Outrigger s patio.

First time visit. Service was good. The food is mediocre at best. Like a flat Jack Astors wannabe. Toronto has much better food to offer than this. The patio is lovely (but we finally gave up after being accosted by wasps and went inside). Not terrible. Not great. Wheelchair accessibility: This venue is not accessible in any way. Washrooms are in the basement (with steep stairs) and there are steps and platforms all over the rest of the restaurant.

I ordered the lamb quesadilla from the special menu and it was excellent. The patio had a great vibe and was very comfrotable. Perfect spot for a relaxing meal. Highly recommend!

One of my favorite places in Toronto

The dinner here is my go to. I always get jerk chicken, wraps, burgers and especially their steak is killer. What they offer here is unmatched, its a hidden gem in Toronto.

Outrigger Restaurant is pretty great. The patio is awesome for hanging out, especially when the weather s good. The drinks from the bar are really nice they have a good variety, and everything I tried was on point. The food is solid too. The Outrigger Burger is seriously tasty, and the wings are crispy and flavorful. Both are definitely worth trying. What I liked most was the service. The staff is super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, it s a chill spot with good food, good drinks, and a cool vibe.

I tried the chicken tacos, outrigger salad, and the triple meat poutine, and they were all fantastic. The tacos had juicy chicken and fresh toppings (avocado, tomato, cheese, onion, etc), and the salad was crisp and refreshing, perfect for a light but satisfying meal. The triple meat poutine was rich and flavorful, loaded with meats and cheese. The service was quick and friendly, and the staff made sure we were well taken care of. The patio was a great spot to enjoy the food, calm, relaxed, and a perfect escape from the usual hustle and bustle. Definitely recommend!

Very beautiful place with a great patio and tasty food. My favourite was the fish and chips and the special menu! Highly recommended!

A great patio. We just had drinks. The server was excellent

I was there yesterday around 2 and got served by just the sweetest server!!! I ordered a salad which was really good too, but I found the service to be such a standout. I didnt catch her name but she had long brown curly hair. Anyways, she was very friendly, made really good suggestions and conversation, checked on me often. I had just come into Toronto and had a friend recommend this place and I wanted to try it but I was rushin a little bit to get to the next destination but she was super prompt and after just chatting about my trip, she made sure she was attentive and quick, got my bill to me promptly, etc!! Thank ya for a fabulous late lunch :)

Eggs Bruschetta with Swiss Cheese, so good! The flavours complement each other so well and only $9.99 Monday to Friday till noon. Will be back for sure! Food

Upon arriving at the restaurant, a friendly hostess seated me and my two friends at a table on the patio. Our server, Winny, was attentive and courteous as she took our orders. Her exceptional service alone would have made our experience a 5-star one. Unfortunately, our positive impression was marred when another server, whose name I believe was something like Ella , approached our table randomly. Despite being seated and served, she insinuated that we had seated ourselves and responded dismissively Oh congratulations . when we explained we had been taken care of. Her behaviour was unprofessional and off-putting. As a result, I have no plans to return to this restaurant.

Having dined at the Outrigger multiple times I can honestly say I have enjoyed every visit. Food is great, awesome patio, and the service is always excellent. Tonight we were waited on by Dan who was so friendly, helpful and professional. If youre looking for a relaxed , friendly place with a large and varied menu to grab a bite or drink the Outrigger is an excellent choice!

Had a very nice dinner on their spacious patio. Food was very good. Definitely coming back.

We ve been coming here again and again from north york, alone or with guests summer and winter and it never disappoints. Food, customer service and vibe is totally pleasant Food

Great patio; lovely ambience and excellent service from Carla. Unfortunately the food was awful, basically prepackaged food that is delivered to the restaurant and then cooked from frozen. I had the old-fashioned burger that presented as a flattened meat puck, between a white bun slathered in grease fat. The calamari were dry and unappetizing. This place is fine for drinks, not good food.

I ordered the charbroiled burger for $22; it was just ok. The fries were the coated kind and not my thing. It came with a Caesar salad which was good but a little heavy on the garlic. Their homemade lemonade was great but a little steep at $6 for a drinking jar filled with ice. The server was friendly but I asked to have my burger cut in half and a container but they didn t cut it and I had to ask two more times for a container. I also asked for no onion rings on the burger but they brought it anyway which is no big deal; just a waste. They have quite a large patio with umbrellas and a lovely water fountain. The bill for a burger and lemonade was around $31.50 plus grats.

We had a decent dinner here. Ordered nachos (quantity was less), quesadillas, onion rings, spinach and cheese ravioli pasta. The pasta was good in taste and quantity. It is a good option for a vegetarian. The ambience was nice, we were seated at the patio. Pur food service was slow. All in all it was a good meal but slow service.

Great location, great patio, descent food. Not a five star just because it s a bit overpriced. But I still recommend! Food : 4/5

Ordered a veggie burger through skip. Outrigger sent me meat burger then refused to eefund my money in whole or part.

The service was fast the food was great!

Ive been going back and forth about leaving a review, because maybe this server was just having a bad night. But it was the most bizarre experience Ive ever had in a restaurant, and I feel like it needs to be shared. We walked in at around 7:20 on June 20th. We were seeing a show at Fox Theatre, and wanted to grab a drink before. When we walked in, it was nearly empty. I asked to sit at the bar, and the server acted put off by the request, like it was suspicious. We sat down and she asked have you been drinking tonight? Im a server, so thats a fair question and part of her due diligence if she thinks were intoxicated. But the way she asked, it was like I was in an interrogation room. I told her we had a drink with dinner. Both servers then proceeded to ignore us for 10 minutes. Just after 7:30, I asked if we could order and get our bills immediately. I ordered the 6 oz Pinot Grigio, 9$ on the menu. She handed me a 20$ bill, having charged me for a 9 oz of the most expensive wine on the menu. When I told her thats not what I ordered, she rolled her eyes and said shed have to check. She then said shed have to go to the kitchen to void the order. At that point we cut our losses and left. The other server apologized as we were leaving. Im a local beacher, been here for a little under a year. Ive been so impressed by the local businesses here, and how they treat their clientele to create a sense of community, which is why I was so shocked by the cold service. I have never felt so unwelcome in an establishment. Theres plenty of other local and wonderful restaurants to give my patronage too, so I dont think Ill be giving this one a second shot.

Some of the food as good and some was not. Service was friendly but very slow. Don t go there if you have a time limit.

The drinks are really affordable here!

Fish tacos and eggs Benny! Friendly quick service, what more can you ask for?

The best food in the beaches area. The employees are very friendly, I thank them for their interest and concern. my favorite food :crispy chicken taco

Cozy place with friendly service and good food.

On a Saturday afternoon loyal customers dine and dance to singer Johnny Wright s classics. A truly unique family restaurant with live music in the beach. Nice decor plenty of seating uplifting atmosphere . Kid-friendliness: Popular for birthday parties and family gatherings .

Went to Outriggers with my friends the other night and the service there is amazing! The waiters were so kind to us and were ready to assist us. The food there is something else too, especially their special menu they are having for the New Years, if you decide to visit Outrigger make sure to try out the delicious lamb rack! Would 100% dine at this restaurant again.

If I could give an extra star I would! My family and I came this past Tuesday to have a quiet dinner before settling in for the night. Our server connor was way above our expectations, he was very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed to have our night run smoothly. (you know how it is with kids) He was quick and prompted us with our bill before having to ask.This is the service I hope to expect every time I dine out! Especially now at outrigger.

Omg the service went down hill over the past few years, almost gave up on this place but Tara was amazing! Such a great service and the food was amazing! I will definitely be back

Awesome service. Came here with some friends today and our server Jenna was just a treat! I love a server who likes to chat, would definitely recommend!

I come here a couple times a month, and I see a young lady Jenna quite often she s always a delight to chat with and is very attentive to her service making sure my foods how I like it and my drinks are always topped up. If i could give this place an extra star for her I would!!! Definitely worth checking out if you re in the area.

Our first time here, and the Outrigger burger was delicious. My wife thought the chicken spinach salad was delicious as well. The music playlist was retro 60s-80s and provided a pleasant background. Our server, Keithan was very friendly and attentive. Extra points for laughing at my dad jokes

Delicious meals at reasonable prices along with terrific service from Keithan. My husband enjoyed the best burger hes had in years (high praise), the Outrigger. It came with a starter salad AND fries. I really enjoyed the chicken spinach salad with goat cheese and candied pecans. Large menu has something for everyone. Great soundtrack for atmosphere along with works by local artists for sale. Happy Hour drink prices. Well be back! Very clean restrooms (change table in Ladies); highchairs available.

Leah was working, she did great with her work, very thankful to have her there, food is quite yummy as well big fan of the burger Vegetarian options: Veg burger too Kid-friendliness: Kids are awesome

Not enough staff to service the patio and indoor customers. Left after 10 minutes and no staff acknowledged us as they walked past.

Nice patio in the east end of the beaches. Great service and good drink selection. Standard patio fare but good quality and decent prices.

In a nutshell: Servers who are disinterested and miserable. One couldnt even describe the beer a customer was ordering. And then there was the $35 nachos!!!!! Yep! $35. OK, ordered with chicken and guac but the chicken was minimal the guac was an egg cup size portion. And this was no stack of nachos, it was an average plate. COME ON! $35. Less of a nutshell: If you are a long time resident of the Beach you can probably remember when this location was THE busy, vibrant hub of the area. No more and not for a long time but yesterday was the end of my decades long willingness to support this location. Im joining everyone else who has abandoned it. The place is nearly always empty which takes some doing given its prime location and patio. Current management/ownership you need to be asking yourself some serious questions. Either that or let it go and let someone else take it on. I actually suspect that is on the cards as, in my opinion, the general mood at this establishment is currently one of desperation.

I ordered the chicken tacos and they were really good, no complaints. The tacos were flavourful, had a decent avocado slice & crispy chicken. The wait was a bit longer than normal but overall great experience.

Nachos are not as crispy as they used to be, but still a great place.

absolutely the worst and slowest service i ve ever experienced. I m always overly patient and understanding, as I work in the service industry myself, but there were maybe 8 tables on the patio at most, and 1 table inside. It took our server 15 min just to greet us as we witnessed the table next to us wait 20 min for their bill. The people behind us waited nearly 30 min and ended up going inside to order from the bartender themselves, and still no one came out to say anything. I would ve been more understanding if the people were atleast friendly but there was no urgency at all, and they were all standing around talking about god knows what when i went inside

The bartenders are stellar. Something something grade 8 reunion going on in the back. Nice pub. Completely tourist friendly. Youll have a good time here.

So heard was excellent but service is slow. And indeed it was. Lovely patio,super comfy chairs. Only one waitress for 10 tables. Run off her feet. Smiled for each table,took accurate orders but we had to ask for our salads and got 5hem at end of meal in take out to go. Hot delicious food, large quantities. Good variety on menu. Would come again. But need more staff.

Im from the USA and I recently dined here and left with a terrible taste in my mouth. It was clear that the establishment was trying to cut corners by using their waitstaff to fill all positions in the restaurant, from hostess to bartender to busboy. This led to a chaotic and disorganized experience that left me feeling frustrated and disappointed. Firstly, the waitstaff seemed overwhelmed and unprepared to handle the various roles they were assigned. Our waiter had to constantly leave our table to attend to other duties, leaving us waiting for extended periods of time without any updates or assistance. Additionally, the lack of a dedicated hostess meant that there was no one to properly greet and seat guests. We were left standing at the door for several minutes before our server noticed us and rushed over to seat us. The lack of a dedicated bartender also meant that drinks took forever to arrive. It was clear that the restaurant was cutting corners to save money, and it showed in every aspect of the experience. Sorry to have to give this review but it had to be said. Thanks to our server who was trying her best but we wont be coming back.

Absolutely amazing experience. Our server was Connor, he was very attentive and friendly. I came here for a quiet lunch with a few co workers. Our drinks came pretty quick, and service was excellent. I ordered a Spicy Cesar, which was one of the best i ve had in a long time, and my friends had Spritzers. I was stunned at the size of the menu as it had options for any appetite! Food quality is outstanding! Big portions and impeccable taste! Although the prices are fairly high, I can assure you that your paying for both quality and quantity. I ended up having the Seafood delight pasta with a mixed greens salad, my friends enjoyed The Beach salad, and the Butter Chicken wrap. Overall, the visit was delightful! I would like to note that while I had an amazing experience, I noticed the restaurant can get overwhelmingly hectic and busy with not the best sense of organization. It seems as though servers take on multiple duties and always seem to be stressed and flustered. From my standpoint, and while being in the industry for quite some time, I can ensure you this is a management issue. Lack of hostesses and busboy hindered many s experience. Front staff servers are super friendly and warm!

Nice services and great food

Beautiful space with plenty of sun on the patio, couldn t ask any more of the staff, super lovely and attentive, 10/10 cocktails, risqué play on the espresso martini with a crème de cacao addition that while not for everyone is a playful choice that s sure to pique interests.

No service! Waited almost 25 minutes and every server we asked was too busy. Bad attitudes and very unfriendly

Horribly managed restaurant whose waitstaff consists of 2-3 teenagers with food that makes you sick. We came here with four of us, our friend had a salad that made her throw up on the Uber ride home. The chicken tacos I had came out with a funky smell, and to top it all off the service was slow and they got two of our orders wrong. AND they charged us full price ($12) for a VIRGIN cocktail. We saw 2-3 other tables sit down and leave without having their orders taken. Its a shame because its a great location wasted on a terrible restaurant.

I had a horrible reaction to the Kale salad and threw up on the way home.

Extremely slow service, three tables next to us left because nobody came to take their orders. One person from my party got food poisoning, 20 minutes after we left the place. We got charged full cocktail price for mocktails. Youve been warned.

Im a family man and have been to lots of restaurants, and I have dined at Outriggers previously, but this was by far the worst night out that I ever had. So I went there tonight with my family, it took around half an hour to get our drink order, first 2 of three drinks arrived, then about 10 minutes later my daughters lemonade came (which tasted like straight up lemons in warm water, no sweetness), I promptly took it to the bar to exchange for an ice tea, I didnt bother to wait for the server to show up as he was no where to be seen. About another half hour after that, our salads came, but my wife had to go into the restaurant to get cutlery since none was provided and our server hadnt brought us any (and we sat patiently for about 10minutes after asking). Then we got our first of three meals about half an hour after the salad (thank god it was my daughters)... My wifes meal came about half an hour after that (with a mix up of mashed potatoes instead of fries). My meal (which should have been the easiest, fish and chips), never arrived... we had been in the restaurant now for 2.5 hrs . At this time, i asked for the bill, and to have my non existent meal taken off the bill. Really at this point, they should have comped the whole meal. There where several families all sitting close together, everyone was being patient, but when a young couple sat at the table next to us we all warned them to run away as fast as they could or have their night ruined like the rest of us for making the mistske of staying.

On the way back from a trip to Harrison Water Plant in the afternoon, I sat down on the terrace here and had a beer. It feels good. The food is good and the atmosphere is great. The key is that the price is relatively reasonable, cheaper than similar taverns in the city center, and the food quality is also good.

Great food, excellent service. Very popular place to eat Food

A quaint pub with a nice outdoor deck. Service was great. Food was great. A nice upscale burger.

Fun place for Father s Day

Visited on a quiet Monday night and entered a patio with several uncleared tables. Guac and chips - the smallest portion for $16 and .. chips were stale and guac had no seasoning whatsoever, including salt. Wings were swimming in sauce an, oddly, without any real flavour, Margherita without any hint of alcohol (club soda?). All in all, a very over priced and disappointing experience as all 3 ordered items were terrible. And this is coming from someone who never complains. Despite being a beautiful patio, I will never be back.

Excellent service and delicious food

Decent food. Staff were being very ride to Uber drivers. Poor customer service and staff seemed to not enjoy being there.

Satisfied with the food and drinks.

Leah makes a good mango drink

I have been coming here since they opened. Always a great time. Special occasions, quick bite or drink - everything is fantastic! BVQ Smokehouse Burger is a personal favorite! Food : 5/5 |

A very enjoyable and relaxing place to have a meal.

Nice little terrace. Excellent cuisine...the shrimp, a delight! Pleasant and attentive staff.

From the very pleasant demeanor of the waitress on the phone to the excellent service (bringing out an IPA taster unasked) to the lovely shaded patio, a five star experience all around. The only minor drawback was the cheese cake - it disappointed.

I cant tell you anything about food because we sat there at a dirty table for 20 minutes outside and could not catch the attention of any of the 3 waitresses. Currently strolling down queen looking for a better place To eat Food

Did not eat there, drinks only and the staff was good

We had Hannah as our server and she was super sweet and kind! (I hope she has an amazing Tuesday, and all other days). Loved the patio and would defs come back again!

Good ok. Service ok. Servers friendly but not attentive. Parking: Good luck! Wheelchair accessibility: Not!

Beware! I placed in order through Uber Eats. After my order had gone through, and while preparation is underway, I received a notification through the app that there was a price adjustment (increase). I called the restaurant to inquire why and was advised that the owner had recently raised prices. While he updated the in-house menus, I was told that he had not yet raised the prices on the Uber eats app. Totally wrong to unilaterally increase a customer s total when they have chosen to order from your restaurant based on the prices posted on the app.

The servers were good and kind, but the food was really bad. Firstly, the ribs we ordered were very sweet and the sugar was overpowering the dry meat. Secondly, the seafood linguine outright made us sick! Beside the pasta and seafood that was bland, the clams tasted like sewage and we decided not to finish the meal.

The food is overpriced for what you get. The service was mediocre; with average to almost bland food. There is absolutely nothing at all to say I will be back about Outrigger. We only went because it was on the way to where we were going. The wasps annoyingly buzzing around us while we were outside was the only memorable moments we will take away from Outrigger.

I had an incredible experience at Outrigger! The burger was very tasty, and the service was top-notch. The patio added a delightful ambiance to the meal. Highly recommend! Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options as well, perfect for everyone of all ages as well

Great servers and food.

This is absolutely the worst restaurant I have ever eaten at. The cook has no skills whatsoever. I am not exaggerating when I say this. I ordered chicken wings and they were a weird colour. They tasted horrible and had some weird sauce on them. I ate 3 and gave up. For that experience I paid $20. My friend ordered maple salmon that had whole peanuts and almonds on top of it. I have never seen anything like it. The veg was grey in colour. We thought, maybe we ll try the dessert. We didn t think they could mess that up since they aren t homemade. Well they proved me wrong. I had the lava cake and it was hard as a rock with none of that luscious liquid chocolate that a lava cake is supposed to have. The cook said the lava comes out of the cake like a volcano. What? That costs $12. My friend ordered the caramel cheesecake at $10. She ate part of it and notice a bug on the plate. The place was full of bugs flying around. They said they try to wipe the bugs down every day. I highly recommend not going near this place.

Visited this place on my way to a movie with a friend and had a lovely lunch. Connor was our server and went out of his way to make us a priority. I had the chicken tacos while my friend enjoyed the fish and chips.Overall, amazing establishment with lovely staff and great food!

Food is so tasty and love the casual family friendly vibe!

Tasty food

Best breakfast in the area. (Ordered the Mexican omelette from the special menu) Service was also really efficient. We went back twice.

My coworker and I came here for a simple drink after work, and the service from Tara made us feel simply at home. The kindest bartender I have ever met. If you need a destress and to feel welcome, seen, listened to, and entertained after work this is the place. She was kind, made amazing drinks, and we will be regulars from now on. Thank you Tara

We stopped in for a bite when we were in the area. The fish tacos and fish and chips are solid picks. The fresh avocado in the taco was a nice touch!

It is a little pricey, but its definitely worth the visit for the food. The classic burger I ordered was kinda OK, but the beer battered fish and chips, and all the other stuff tasted very good. Overall, good food, and the ambience was nice too.

Have you ever had one of those mornings when you want something yummy and you re in need of a seriously well-crafted Caesar? I highly recommend you take a seat at the bar and watch the mixologist at work. One of the best Caesars I ve ever had! Then my friend and I decided to have coconut shrimp and the open faced lobster grilled cheese. My mouth was in heaven. No word of a lie. It was my first lobster grilled cheese ever! I can t stop thinking about it was so good. You ve got to try this!

Great food and drink in the Beaches area, and nice outdoor patio. We are regulars.

We stopped by Outrigger on a whim, after a ling afternoon walk through the Beaches neighbourhood. What a lovely surprise! We had a gin-horseradish Caesar before we ate, which was a delicious surprise. In fact, it was one of the best Caesars weve had anywhere. For dinner, I had the fried chicken and cornbread, and my partner had one of thr burgers. Both were delicious. This place is a definite recommend!

Decent price, large portions and friendly staff. Good selection for a pub type place.

My partner and I got drinks and an appetizer. The service was okay, only okay, and the staff was inhospitable. The food and the drinks were fine. The real kicker was the price, the drinks were reasonable but our appetizers were quite pricey. Overall a okay experience.

The food was ok, not bad by any means but also not unique enough to justify a return. Everything was as discribed but just tasted flat. We were there at 3, it was not busy, and service was super slow.

Great service, good inexpensive brunch. Nice shady patio

Great Pub food, ample portions, and a pleasant and comfortable ambience. Back in 2021. Nice chicken and avocado club sandwich. Back in 2022. Just for a Creemore/

Accommodated my service dog without hesitation. Was nice to sit outside on the patio. The menu offers ssoooo much seafood.

Delicious food! Great patio. Local art decor, beautiful to see. Great service.

Espresso and latte were horrible. Service was unengaged.

Great little place by the beaches. Good food. Great staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Will come back.

Had a lovely meal with friends O hadnt seen for a long time! The waitress was attentive without hurrying us giving us lots of time to catch up before ordering. We had an exceptionally good waitress!

Slow service, and average quality food. Menu is way too big for them to maintain quality control. Dined inside and our waitress seemed disinterested and never smiled. People on the patio seemed happy however. I wont return.

The best part of this place is the patio I was surprised to find it without a wait time on a Sunday morning. But maybe it s because the quality of food and service has changed recently. Not sure if this place had a change of management but the service used to be better. The food was meh not the reason for a visit but certainly eatable. Good place to sit and drink a few ciders for sure! The Caesar was a little clumsy, the rim crust looked like it was done without any intent. The French toast was a little dry and the skimpy maple syrup portion didn t help Again the location and the patio makes it worthwhile and hopefully as the summer time flies by the seasonal staff will become better at their tradecraft.

Yesterday, July 8th, 2022, I treated a friend to a late lunch on the Outrigger patio. We both ordered a large Caesar Salad with grilled chicken. It wasnt listed on the menu, but the server said it would be no problem. The only Caesar salad I saw on the menu was $8 for an appetizer. We both enjoyed our salads and were happy with the food we received. Anyway, when the bill came, it was $38 for both Caesar Salads (so $19 each) and $10 for the chicken. So a total of $29 for each salad! Then added on tax and tip. It put a damper on our lunch as my friend felt badly that the price was so high, and then I spoke to our server about it (kind of embarrassing). It of course wasnt the servers fault! The other salads with protein on the menu were around $20, which is kind of the going rate, but near $30 is too high! We cant afford to eat at Outrigger!

Good service and food. Big patio Kid-friendliness: Lots of kids there

We had lunch here. We ordered 2 kids burgers $8 each, and 2 Outrigger burgers $19 each. It is the exact same burger and amount of fries, except for the salad you get with the adult order. Other than that comical fact, the burger was obviously a frozen burger and tasted like a Costco frozen burger. The fries were also likely Costco. For a $20 burger we were given a bottle of hienz ketchup and mustard. It was a total rip off and joke of a meal. 2 stars for fast and friendly service.

Absolutely love this resto. I went here with a few friends and the patio was so nice with all the lights. The menu is HUGE and all the good that we ordered came quick, warm and we just loved it all. I got the Beach salad, and yum!! Their Caesars are absolutely delicious! Our waitress Kaelan was incredible. She was so attentive, so quick, so friendly!! Please go visit this restaurant while the patio is open!

Perfect meal for jazzfest... paella was super

Very good service and charming setup. Staff is impeccable from reception to check-out! Food is very good and the menu has something for everyone. Portions are large. Kid-friendliness: Nice kids menu with plenty of options and coloring activities.

Food was excellent and service was prompt and friendly. Definitely will be returning.

Good food, good service, nice outdoor patio!

i had a nice lil time at my booth for one

Meh. Got order wrong. Taste was okay. Fries were good at least. Quantity was small and presentation was non existent. Seemed like most staff were pretty new. Not sure whats going on at this place, but it felt like I ate some home cooked meal that was put together by back when I was in college. Very confused how this place is on Queen E and survived this far. Maybe new ownership now?

I was turned off that the very young waitresses were wearing skirts that barely covers their parts. Like they would not be able to bend over and pick something up if needed. It feels very misogonistic and dated. Really? Its 2022, do we really need to objectify young woman or any woman this way?

This place has a really cute patio and the servers are super nice. The food on the other hand was a different story. I ordered a cocktail that didn t come with any ice and had to ask. My onion soup came with a cremated piece of bread and a truckload of salt. Tacos literally had deep fried oily chicken with tostidos sauce.

Good lunch.In the heart of the Beach.Service was fine.Burger was good.Many beers on tap.

Great patio but they are always under staffed and out of food and beer items. It takes at least 40 mins to get appetizers and 10- 15 mins to get your drink order. Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options Kid-friendliness: There always lots of kids on the patio

Owners sent my server home because I asked her to tell the chef/manager to come to my table. Undercooked sirloin my wife ordered & sour tomato sauce on a lamb shank. Servers are great but the kitchen is ridiculously bad & the cooks were laughing in the kitchen making racist remarks at their customers in their language which I understand. Parking: Bad

I went with my wife and we had an AMAZING lamb shank, as well at the Philly steak sandwich and their lobster spinach and artichoke dip. Everything came out very fast, and was delicious. 30$ for the lamb shank is an absolute steal. 10/10 I ll be going back.

Wonderful place to Jonny Wright and friends! Great blues as always! FOOD is great! Need more staff at bar but would go anytime!

Have been a regular but no more. They left out an item from the order so a family member didnt get their meal. Staff on October 23, 2022 were completely unhelpful in resolving the issue.

First visit here after walking past many times. Food and service was pretty good. Could use some amping up of flavours. The patio is excellent (minus the wasps). Id like to see more local offerings of beer and cider. Pretty limited, generic bar rail type of beers available.

Good food, good service, but the music is horrible for bringing your family. Like it wasn t just mildly vulgar either. It was extremely vulgar and graphic. My 5-6 year old kids were subjected to blasting music about n***ers sliding their d**ks in b**ches . We had to all listen to about twenty f-bombs as well. I have no idea why they had to blast this music. You d think they d keep it clean since they offer children s colouring when you sit down. It s hard because we had a generally 5 star experience in every area but this one, but this one area is a pretty big deal so I needed to lower the rating to 1 star.

the food was quite good, but the calamari was SOOO Salty, I think the sauce. The male server could have been more courteous, he never inquired, how the food is while we were eating. May be these 2 issues need to be taken care of...if not its quite good.

Went here with my girlfriend and we left feeling like they overcharged us. We got a greek salad to share, which on their menu is $7, but we got charged $17 for it on the bill. It was a regular greek salad and felt really basic and bland, we also got the incorrect dressing on it. I double checked the menu and it doesnt say anywhere that the salad is $17, nor that theres a +$10 increase, and the waitress didnt tell us that, so theres no way for us to know that. It wasnt worth it for the money sadly

Great food and service. We loved our server Dakota!!

Moved to the area not long ago and said id try this place this evening. Ordered the old fashioned burger w/ sweet potato fries & gravy side and Caesar salad. First off the packaging is woeful. Fries and burger packed side by side into a round tray which emulates a dinner plate with cover on top? Just leaves both the burger and fries soggy from condensation. Never seen a food order come like this, and clearly with good reason. Burger was relatively small and unfulfilling ($18 with sides), taste was decent and fresh vegetables as toppings, but again just didnt hit the mark for me. The caesar salad is just lettuce with a couple of croutons? Its more aptly described as just a side of lettuce I suppose. I want to like this place but have to say that was a very bad first impression, wouldnt recommend

Just Wonderful

Love this place.

Great spot with a fantastic patio in the east Beaches. Large menu with something for everyone and good quality/quantity for value! Richard is a great addition to the team. Will be back soon

Great neighbourhood spot, awesome patio

Food is okay and the service is quick and polite

This place is great! Had brunch here today, really pleasant staff, nice large patio and really delicious food! And the beach is two minutes away for a nice walk afterwards!

The food is always very good, the patio relaxing and the staff are great! Highly recommend.

Fine enough if youre in the neighbourhood and want to grab a bite, but its definitely not a place Id plan to trek out there for.

Good service and good eats, no long waits and certainly no complaints. Thanks for the great meal!

Terrible experience. Ordered WILD MUSHROOM CHICKEN PENNE, which is supposed to be Tender chicken in a light rose sauce, with portobello, shitake, button mushrooms and julienne vegetables. There wasnt a single cmallest slice of chicken, 100% vegetarian dish. The ribs we ordered were dry as paper.

Nice patio, no reservation required, we were 5 people, table seems very small. Excellent ravioli, other dishes were also good.

Mornings on a weekend are days when I just like to get out of bed get dressed and go somewhere nice and have breakfast. My daughter and my son-in-law must have read my mind. Along with there 15 months old baby we set out to fine somewhere that would accommodate our precious little one. However the pandemic has contributed to so many restrictions bookings has to be made beforehand. After calling around we were able to get seating at The Outrigger, a lovely little Restaurant with outdoor accommodation. The tables and chairs were clean and comfortable, service was prompt and very good. Breakfast was delicious, everything on our plates was good. The waitress was very professional and polite. We enjoyed our breakfast and we will visit again. Thank you Outrigger.

Amazing patio

Blah

Good valued food on a nice patio.

It pains me to write this review after going to this place for the better half of 7 years, however my last 3 experiences have been awful. The first time I figured it could have been an off day, but after 3 attempts and the same lack lustre service and food, I feel compelled to share. 1st time lunch - service was insanely slow, it was a Wednesday mid week on the patio of which there were 3 total tables (ours included). We proceeded to order a Cobb Salad and the Avocado Salmon. After our order it took 21 minutes before our drink ordered arrive a few inquiries as to where they are. When the drinks arrived the Rye and Diet coke had flat diet coke and tasted like swamp water. We sent it back to which they provided a new one with was normal tasting and pop with fiz. The food then came out 19 minutes later (40 minutes after food order) to which the Cobb Salad was incorrect and the Avocado Salmon came out as maple salmon - so we then had to wait again for the food. After all of this, the management oddly enough offered no compensation of any kind and tried to charge for 2 rye and diet drinks when the first one was sent back because it was flat. Over all terrible. 2nd time: Turkey Avocado club sandwich was ordered with a salad and the open face lobster grilled cheese - of which the sandwich came out with fries and both meals were cold to the point the Lobster Grilled chees wasnt eaten. We did get an apology from the staff on the meals and an offer to replace the lobster sandwich however at this point my wifes appetite to have that meal replaced was lost and I was already done my meal. When the bill arrived we were indeed expected to pay for the whole meal as nothing was compensated. 3rd time which was this week: server was rude, dismissive and snappy from the start which clearly set the tone for the meal. Our drinks showed up late and the ice cubes in my drink had already been half melted before it got to the table. The order consisted of the Thai chicken Peanut salad which the wontons and the crispy noodles were stale and it literally was worse tasting than buying the asian salad mix at the grocery store. The Salmon Avocado no long has any option to replace the veggies that come with - you simply just eat what you are given so we insisted just hold the veggies so we didnt have any food waste as they would not be eaten (cauliflower and Brussel sprouts). There were two small pieced of avocado on the salmon and some mashed potatoes the equivalent to about 1 ice cream scoop and the server told us that if we wanted any salsa for the salmon we could just use our daughters salsa that came with her quesadilla (keep in mind the cost of this dish is $28 which is a albatross to the value you get). I was kind of take back by the whole situation and left speechless. We paid and left and sadly had to admit to ourselves this is just not the same place it was when we first started going there. I am not sure what their breakfast is like as we often try to hit the Beacher for breakfast, but what I can tell you is that this place is no longer a place my family will go to.

Excellent service and a very nice patio.

Consistently good quality and service.

I tried the Panko Crusted Chicken Mozzarella. It was DELICIOUS! The chicken has a golden brown coating that is light and crunchy on the outside, but juicy and tender on the inside. Every bite has your mouth craving for the next! The mozzarella cheese is nice and goooooey (which I LOVE!), and it makes you feel warm and cozy inside. Very generously portioned and beautifully prepared. Mine came with a side of french fries that were golden brown. They were hot and crispy too! Kudos to the kitchen staff...LOVE IT! Definitely one of my new favs! Cant wait to try some of the other dishes at Outrigger. Stay tuned!

Experience excellent staff Excellent service beer excellent

The food was good and the staff were friendly.

Service there was none.

Great food, service and location!

Terrific spot! Pretty solid food. Great beers on tap and the staff is lovely. Makes you feel like a real local bar. Lots of room and they keep the kitchen open until 10 which is nice for this neighbourhood. Definitely will be back and would recommend.

Tried this place for the first time the other night and was super impressed with the food! I had the mushroom and Swiss burger (add bacon) with fries and a Caesar salad. It was an EXCELLENT burger, fries were piping hot and salad came out first which was nice as I was expecting it in the side but it was more of an appetizer. We also ordered a pitcher of lime margarita and it was perfect... so yummy, not super strong, fresh squeezed lime. Would definitely go back again!!!

Nice place
