George's Deli & BBQ in Toronto

Delicious quarter chicken and fries for just $10!!! But the worst chicken wings. Small and dry wings

Thy lie to you price are not same food poor they only accept cash 30% tax

Had their Cheese burger combo and it was definitely satisfying!

Amazing Food, Probably one of the best cheep restaurants in Toronto!!!

Absolutely disgusting. Canned gravy, undercooked rice (it was crunchy) and gravy ON TOP of the overcooked chicken. Steer clear. One good thing about it though - its affordable!

May be considered a dive, but the corned beef is so good. Whenever were in T.O. we always make a stop at Georges to grab a couple sandwiches.

Had some amazing food from this place in the past but tonight I ordered delivery. Took 45mins, arrived cold and no where what I expected. Im sad to say Im throwing out the menu I kept in my cupboard. I try to help local business but sorry Georges, youre done.

They have delicious bbq chicken with nice fries.

I used go there 25 years ago, but I left Toronto, but I visit on 2021, wish go there next time, nice food ribs, chicken , fries and sandwich smoke meat

Nice takeout place. Delicious spaghetti w meatballs.

The first time in years, the food was awful. Wasted money on 4 meals. Spouse was vomiting up everything . No one else ate because the chicken smelt like it was dipped in floor cleaner. Havent been back.

Proper food

Cant you believe this service, cauple weeks ago was my very first innocent time going to this Georges Deli@BBQ cause I hear good things about this takeout THE PPL WHOVE GIVEN THEM 5 STARS ARE THEYRE CLOSE AREA REDIDENTS, MAYBE CONTRACTORS AND FRIENDS..and the servers who I firmly believe is owner didnt even hardly give me NO EYE CONTACT, nor HI, just yess what do you want almost like Im a waste of his time professionally or a distraction in his way and I was the only 1 there late at night, no other customers the guy probably dont like himself or what? Ill have to backtrack now and go Swiss chalet! Thanks for the nasty treatment AND ILL TELL EVERYBODY IN MY NETWORK AND THOSE READING NOW TO STAY CLEAR!

Our family has been going here for several years. The staff have always been good to us. They try to keep the prices reasonable.

A staple in the community! Great food always

Always great food

Always awesome Chicken and Sandwiches. Friendly and reliable, love it!

Great food, great price

A lil disappointed the guy at the counter handled money for three people before me and touched my chicken without washing his hands a single time. Im surprised no one mentioned this..... Kinda gross. :(

fair prices, quick service, large servings. this place is one of Torontos best kept secrets. Their rotisserie chicken and gravy recipe put anything Swiss Chalet has to offer to shame. Dont let the appearance of the surrounding area deter you from giving them a try.. thats something beyond their control and the staff do a good job of not allowing the local riff raff from loitering in front. Important note: its cash only.. theres a small ATM by the cash register if you need, but no interact or credit card facility.

Not the best experience Ive had with chicken in the city. Ordered pickup using the online system. Very basic order - whole chicken, pound of ribs & medium fries - $50. I did not see that there was a combo special to upsize for a few dollars more for a much better deal with some better add-ons - my error. But this was not offered to me since I had pre-paid by Credit card (I guess). When I went to pick up the food, the fellow behind the counter was unaware of my order saying his iPad was down so I had to show proof of the order - it was all on my phone. He fulfilled the order quickly as other patrons entered the establishment to get their meals. Obviously there is no sitting area, while I was waiting, and sitting on milk crates, I was able to look around - the restaurant is grimy and old, and could really use some updating. Once I got it home, the chicken itself was cooked well. It was cut into quarters. The ribs were not the BBQ ribs I was expecting - they were in a tomato sauce. The best part of the meal were the fries. If I do come back, it might be for a chicken sandwich, based on the reviews of others here.

Still the best downtown. Was surprised to hear they do not open late night any more till 4am. Was the place to go after clubbing. They got pasta now tried it. It was glorious . Gotta go now and try every thing again and the fries are still the best in TDOT

Nice off-the-collar Chef that reminded me of Gordon Ramsey runs the show. Offers fresh and prepared meals on the go. Place is clean, but could use a fresh paint job. No debit machine, ONLY ACCEPTS CASH, but has an ATM. Prices are reasonable, with well-proportioned meal sizes. I prefer to pay by debit so low star rating and chances are I wont return any time soon.

Corned Beaf on Rye with a great pickle

Been going here for 26 years 1/4 chicken with fries amazing

Always excellent and friendly customer service

Chicken is dry Fries are undercooked But the gravy was good I wouldnt to back but Id eat it if it was in front of me so 3/5 stars

Went to this cocroach infested place saw roaches ordered medium fries owner WOULD NOT LET ME TOUCH THE KETCHUP BOTTLE HE HAS TO POUR IT. Gave me 5 packages if I want more I had to buy it. WHAT THE ABOUSLUTE @#####!!!!

Awesomeness

No customer service I was yelled at because I wanted to pour my own ketchup I could believe it. So guy came out of the bathroom got into my face I thought he was going to assault me. OVER KETCHUP was given the packages My fries was a large size I asked for more Hey said I would have to buy it!!WORST PLACE IVE EVER EXPERIENCE

He Charge $3 for the ATM machine. When I told him this is too much, he stated that half is his and the rest of half is for the ATM owner with very rude attitude.

They do not accept debit transactions only cash. The atm machine in the restaurant has a lot of flies around it.. The employees do not give you any privacy when using atm machine. They come over and look at the screen when youre trying to make a personal transaction.

Alex the owner is always so friendly and efficient when my husband and I come after a show downtown. We always order the Rib and fries with rib sauce, half chicken meal and hot chicken wings. Everything always tastes delicious and so comforting.

Still amazing chicken and fries with gravy after all of these years.

Some meals are better than others, but reasonably priced

Good food

Clean Social distancing FRIENDLY

Still the best chicken and fries around

I go here once in awhile when in the area love both places Greek family very nice fair price good food

Good Place to get wings.

Ok good food.

Always Delicious

Best Spaghetti in the city for a great price!

Not to be confused with a similarly named restaurant in Regent Park, this BBQ place is actually good. The portion sizes are great, the chicken tastes juicy and flavourful, and the sides, like coleslaw and potato salad, although nothing fancy, will satisfy your craving. I wish that the rice was more seasoned, but for the price and menu options i cannot complain.

I went with a friend to get burgers late at night. We used the application Ritual. When we got to the place the burger wasnt ready. During the preparation, the staff didnt wear gloves and he was wearing his mask under his nose.

Love Georges Chicken and Georges Pizza!!!!

Great as always

Always on time and good food.

The best chicken and rice

They are like my family! ^_^ Oppa! Im huge fan of that place so huge that I became huge myself ordering a lot of food from them. And food is from heart just like from home. Dlicious ribs with rib sauce mmm or tomato, with spagetti or fries, and grill tender juicy chicken grill! Everything is always fresh! About location dunno, what I know and remember is how people were complaining about these little stores, with garage sales and poor artists now its gone so enjoy this authentic island of old school Toronto. yeah bit crazy sometimes but harmless, old school Torontonian crossroad Pembroke x Dundas! cuz once its gone we will miss it a lot. P.S. dont order pickles too much for they are all mine om nom nom.

Great food, even better prices.

A little pricey but good old fashioned wholesome food.

Been there since a young gun its the best place in toronto

Who actually eats from this filthy place ?

Havent visited Georges in over 17 yrs. Its still great chicken today.

Havent been there in over 17 yrs. Chicken is still great:)

Price of quarter chicken with fries was listed as 7.95. when getting cashed out i noticed it came up to 12.20. i asked him why the big difference in price. He says the gravy. I say how much more? He says its 50 cents extra. I ask what else, he says oh you substitute for rice. Still doesnt add up. Getting ready to pay with card, he says cash only you have to use the ATM. At that point i walk out. Not worth it for mediocre chicken and rice

Legendary rotisserie chicken and fries with Gravy. A Toronto staple

Iconic spot just off younge great chicken sandwiches extra mayo and bbq sauce is a must!

Very frequent costumer for 6 years + of all Georges BBQ locations. Last couple of times I have visited this store, I have had problems but havent complained. However, last one was THE WORST... I purchased 2 entire chickens and some sides to take out and both of them were SUPER BAD. Anyone could eat or even smell the chicken. We had to throw them entirely!! They cooked and sold SPOILED food!! Not planning to go there anymore, eventhough I live close. Highly recommend purchasing from the other locations, owners are friendlier and stores are cleaner too.

These guys missed one of my orders that I already paid for not cool. Food was solid next time make sure to get the order right. Not much I can do other than give them a 3 star review.

Best burgers downtown Toronto. Wings are cooked to perfection. Only missing blue cheese dip for them hot ones lol

Good food, great service !

Best chicken in town...great place to dine after hours!

Great chicken and fries well done...

This place is a community staple. I have been buying food here since my childhood and travel there once a month from Georgetown for great chicken and ribs. The staff here are like Family... I would highly recommend you check them out, you will definitely love the food. You guys are the best !

been eating here for 24 years

first time ordering from this place and the food was aboustly disgusting and not at all what i ordered i wanted fries n wings n i lnstead received poutine n hot wings the food look like it was rushed t be prepared with gravy n sauce dripping every where would not recommend a d would not be ordering again aboustly disgusting . spend way to much money for bad quality food

Georges chicken is the hidden gem you all need. Long time patron. Best rotisserie in the city. Give the trifecta a try. Chicken, ribs, wings, fries and gravy.

Have been getting the same things for over 6 years now! The burgers are so good, chicken, fries, gravy, macaroni salad. Pure comfort food! You have a get a large gravy, its what makes the chicken and fries taste good. The may seem a bit bland but dunk it in gravy and youre good!

The fish and chips and the poutine are 10/10. This is the ultimate late night food. Please remember this is a cash only establishment.

Some of the best food at a great price! I highly recommend the gravy!

Im so on the fence with this place. The food is decent but the thoughts of cleanliness and hygien are questionable. The constant flow of fiens and randoms... I make sure I say a quick prayer every time. Enjoy!

Can fill my order

Have been going here for over 30 years,and its still that same,live this place..

Best Chicken around.

Dope

Used to be at Georges when I was like 13/14. And on.... used to be the spot back in the day. A long long time ago. Cant believe still there . Im coming back . Chicken was bomb. Im sure it still is. Love this place . But oh if walls could talk.

Its a sketchy part of town but the food is really good with large portions and good prices.

Quarter chicken fries and gravy. Great price and great taste

When I lived in Toronto back in the 90s and I first heard about Georges, I couldnt get enough of it after the first time I tried it! It was ADDICTIVE! No matter where I lived in the city, Id go out of my way just to go to the Dundas East location. I havent lived in Toronto in 15 years, but I still reminisce about the great food, great service, and how much I miss that place. In fact, I enjoyed it so much it inspired me to want to open something like it up in the city I currently live in. I dont want to copy their format. Ive been inspired to want to open my own spot to allow others to enjoy my cooking the same way I enjoyed Georges! Memorable food! Thank you for the amazing inspiration and food; and its good to see even after all this time Georges is still rocking Toronto!

Very good food

Best lunch spot this side of Dundas

Grate food delivery allso

Always got to help out small businesses

Love this place! Best corned beef in the city. Fries and gravy to die for.... Lol

Great food, great little place been coming here since I was a kid. Miss the free chicken dinners on Christmas though

I was definitely satisfied

What can I say about Georges? The staff know their menu well and prepare it fast and efficiently. Their menu items are priced reasonably and are good value for the money. The portion sizes far outweigh many other restaurants. My usual order is a cheeseburger and medium fries with gravy I find myself struggling to finish the fries. My order is completed within 10 minutes Georges offers free delivery a rarity in this city and is open until 4am every day Truly a blessing to discover this little slice of heaven on Earth.

Ancient purveyor of tasty, finger licking rotisserie chicken and fries, along with other fast foods ... but legendary for the chicken and fries. A late night stalwart in about as sketchy a neighbourhood as you can find in downtown, there is never any shortage of character. Come for the chicken, stay for the ambience! From boxers to bikers to cops and creative types, this place has the right food to feed them all.

Hands-down, the Best Little Chicken Shack in Toronto!!

Great food as always

Quickest service on chicken, burgers, fries succulent ribs, pasta, salads and so much more! Home gravy and coleslaw too. Mmmm. Opened until 3:am on weekends and delivered within 10 mins.

Excellent late night grub

Great, on the spot, hot crispy fries and more, everyday! Late weekend night food with friendly efficient service!

I hate the stupid owner... ride behaviour

Greasy Spoon Chicken, Ribs & Burgers at a reasonable price.

Has to be 5stars. Ive been eating there for decades. I tend to always get the family special, 4 chicken quarters, xtra large gravy & i order a side hot sauce. Chicken is that classic rotisserie chicken but huge, so much fries quite decent, a generic gravy. They are open late and deliver late. If you need that late night fix, for after works, drinks etc. Dont miss out. There is a reason, they been open for like 50yrs. Thx georges

Hours are very good. They are open till atleast 2am each day some days till 5am. Service is very quick and friendly and quality of food is excellent. They also have local delivery service. A very excellent casual place to get a quick meal.

The quality of the food is horrible and the food is very bland. The food smells weird.

Complete meal at a good price. Soup, stew and soft drink. There are other food options.

Amazing pasta and chicken

Plz quality food

Doesnot deserve single star...worst customer service!!!never ever go there

Cant say enough about this place. Ive only had the cheeseburger and fries but they are absolutely delicious! Gus and the rest of the staff are friendly and funny . Great little place

Ribs & Spaghetti ftw

I love this place the chicken with rib sauce are fantastic

The guys working here are unprofessional idiots

The staff is very friendly! George (owner) gave us fast and adequate service! The burgers/fries are excellent...the chicken too!! As a first experience in the middle of the night (2ham) I advise you to go take a look!

Very nice place for a quick bite or to take home and the people are friendly. The food is great just love this chicken. I dont know what they do to their chicken but its nice and tender. I definitely recommend this place.

Friendly staff and delicious cheeseburger at 2am

they only accept cash sadly. but good homemade food

Decent burger

Cant find any complaints about this place its exactly what you would hope for in a downtown late night chicken spot. I been coming for years now and only get the chicken but its always good. Best part is how late its open though. Definetely a recommend.

very nice fast food

Best corn beef and BBQ chicken in the city. Has been the same for the past 25 years Ive been going there, except portions seem to be a bit smaller.

Great place but bring cash. They dont except debit or credit cards unfortunately.

Late night munchies, this is the place.

***************AVOID AT ALL COSTS************** If there was a way to give zero stars I would. We ordered from this place thinking it would be a great idea for dinner..DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE! We used Uber eats to deliver it to our hotel room. The gravy we ordered was exploded all over the food..no mustard as requested on any of the smoked meat sandwiches..sandwiches were squished and flat. The chicken we ordered was completely dried out and hard..they didnt send any utensils (tough to eat rice with fingers) Completely discusted with the restaurant response...we will have the driver bring you mustard and forks....hahahah everything would be stone cold by the time your bicycle driver got back here.....SAVE YOUR MONEY GO ANYWHERE ELSE!

Always good

Smallest wings Ive ever seen. Will never go back

Ordered a single order of wings, they were very small and the sauce tasted generic. Id give a better rating if the wings were even cooked well, but some of them were overdone. Just a mess.

They have really good chicken and ribs here. Their fries and gravy is excellent

So good

You know why you came here... after you got drunk at the filmore hotel and you want you some nice fries with gravy. Other comments are withdrawn in light of unfair reviews due to Uber delivery guys messing up the reputation.

Ordered from skipthedishes and it indicated that it will take 27 mins to deliver when i am only 10-15 mins away from the restaurant. Only got two things to say, please do not bag the containers right away knowing that the courier will take longer than usual. The containers were wet when i received it. The fries and bread were soggy and wet from the moist because containers stayed too long in the bag. The fish is what I liked the most but I think its way too small for $8.95

We ordered from this restaurant and BOTH the roll AND the bun for the sandwich were MOLDY! Will NEVER order from here again!

It was a great experience and I like chicken & Fries. I would like to go back again. I recommended

You can go to swiss chalet for rotisserie chicken but you wont get it like this and for proper price love dis place

just ordered the fish and chips from uber eats and wow it was bad

The grilled chicken is out of this world.the fries and signature hit sauce 8ts just sumthing u shiukd try and day..simoky delicious ..

BEST CHICKEN IN DOWN TOWN TORONTO!! Hands down n open to 4am everyday .2am in sunday! We order in nowhere to dine in!

Fresh hot chicken fries and gravy Great service for OVER 30 years ....

AVOID AT ALL COST. Terrible owner, doesn t care about his customer.

Trash and garbage owner, never going back. I don t recommend this place.

Get Swiss chalet instead - did not taste like BBQ.

Best Rotisserie Chicken in all of Toronto!

Good and greasy.

Wings were good. Ribs wasnt what i expected but still ok. Spaghetti was also good Very sweet old delivery man Id get wings again

really low quality food

I got FOOD POISONING from their food and had to spend the day in, either vomiting or sleeping when I could. When I finally had the strength to call them the manager shouted at me that something else is wrong with me and that I should go to the hospital. He arrogantly shouted again and again that this has never happened and that its a very busy place. What that has to do with me getting food poisoning, I dont know. Terrible, a nightmare. AVOID!!!!!

Best all-day Kate night chicken amazing

I have been going to Georges since I was a child, due to my mother loved this place. George and his wife were always really nice to me. I loved the fact they gave out free chicken to the homeless for Christmas Day. I order here a few times a year, and noticed about a few years ago, that they stopped delivering to the door. I have legal parking on the street and used to not have this problem, nor do other delivery companies have a problem to find legal parking and come up to my door. I also noticed that the food is starting to get over cooked and less care put into then before. Not sure if its because other family members are running the restaurant, but I really do hope that the values come back that George originally had more than 20 years ago. To care for the food, customers and integrity of the restaurant.

I ordered my meal from UBER eats (who will also receive this review shortly) I ordered a Smoked Meat sandwich with fries and extra gravy $19. Okay I know that ordering from UBER eats could be expensive but this was a Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich at 3am. I received the delivery at 3:15am and thanked the driver. went back into the office and sat at my desk to eat my sandwich. but I noticed the sandwich was missing the fries and the extra sauce that i had ordered. I then looked to see that the sandwich had a hamburger bun instead of the Rye bread that naturally comes with a Montreal Smoked Meat sandwich. IT LOOKED LIKE A SMOKED MEAT SANDWICH WITH EXTRA MUSTARD AND HAMBURGER BUNS. Who does that???? Never in my life has this happened. So I called the restaurant to get an explanation as to what had transpired. What I received was this young man ranting at me about how I should know how to use the UBER eats app. That that picture representing the order is not whats being sold. Where in this world is there a smoked meat sandwich for $10.25 on a Hamburger bun. Georges BBQ and Deli, thats where. I even had to ask the young man on the phone to calm down (at least 3 times) because he was acting as if explaining his point meant he had to sound as unprofessional as possible. at had to literally tell him that I was trying to agree with him and he still was trying to make his point about how the APP should be used and that in the future I should call to ensure that my order is what I ordered. After i hung my phone and place the food in the fridge for any employee that may want it. I received a phone call from the same young man to state that ordering directly from the restaurant would have been easier and less of a problem. I thanked him for his follow up to his previous rant and stated that it was bad costumer service to call back so quickly just to say that it wasnt the restaurants fault. NOW! I work for a VIP Concierges Service and I recommend Clients to various authentic restaurants for late late dining. Guess who just got kicked of our list. You never know who your talking to at the end of the phone line but professionalism should always be maintained. And blaming the customer... Thats a HUGE NO NO

I miss George but guys like Peter keep the place going. Nothing better than good food and entertainment. Great place to take a slag you picked up at 3am.

Good food, smoked meat on rye is worthy of Schwarz of Montreal, great chicken, great gravy, counter no seats other than a pair of stacked milk crates. Good prices not the best neighborhood.

Super nice & Friendly. Good Tasty food. Open Super Late. A Toronto Institution. The neighbourhood, and decor just add to the charm. They also deliver Via Foodora.

Best barbeque downtown.

The food delivered before was piping hot, but the food delivered this time was actually lukewarm! Since I ordered it at night and it was delivered within 10 minutes, I give you a three points, but to be honest, Im a little disappointed. The last time I ordered a whole chicken, it turned out to be four pieces from different whole chickens. Half hot and half warm. And this time I just need to put more salt and pepper on top of the white meat. He put a whole chicken for me. So if you put it like this, why do you cut it? This is a photo after I finished eating. I still didn t eat the white meat because it was really unpalatable. The dark meat part was delicious but there was a lot of fat. I had to use my hands to remove the fat. Overall, it was a three-star rating. Order now

I ve eaten here many times and it s delicious, especially the burgers, great!

Ordered a dinner for pickup. They forgot gravy. No facility to use your credit or debit cards. They only accept cash. I have to spend 3 more dollars for atm withdrawal on a 15$ order. Taste was ok. Avoid salads at any cost.

Great little place to grab take out. The chicken sandwiches are delicious as are the wings. CASH ONLY. Open really late. Not the greatest location however.

An absolute joke in the wall! But by far the best gravy in town! Its open all hours.. The owners are hilarious and very engaging with customers.

A hidden gem in an interesting neighbourhood. I love the quarter chicken with fries, smothered in some of the best gravy I can find in the city. The corned beef on a Kaiser is also an amazing sandwich from here. Staff is very friendly, the food is cheap, and it tastes amazing. Some of the best comfort food!

Driver would not bring the food to my door. Management was rude and condescending. Food was mediocre. Awful experience, dont eat here.

The best ever

Bland, dry chicken. Soggy, tasteless fries. The gravy was ok though. I had this delivered so its possible that its better on site.

Absolutely the worst delivery in Toronto. I never write reviews, but today I feel compelled. I ordered a half chicken with a poutine, gravy on the side. I specified gravy on the side at least four times. The food that arrived was a lukewarm slop of disgusting cheese and mushy fries coated in bland gravy. Covered in gravy. Brutal. I know its late, but do not order from here... just get a pizza.

Best late night eat in the city!

These guys have delivered solid food at 6 am. I challenge you to find that kind of dedication.

Friendly employees. Convenient since it is open late. I eat here often. Once in a while I get a chicken and its been on the rotisserie to long, this happens in the late hours.

Where to go for rotisserie chicken any time of the day or night. Love it.

Work right beside this place so its super convenient for me. Always get the quarter chicken & greek salad. Speedy service, everyones very friendly. Obviously not the most amazing food in the area but very good value for the price.

one star, 2 stars would be too nice
