384 Keele St, Toronto, ON M6P 2K8, Canada
Small deli with big flavour. Proprietors of house made smoked meat, porchetta, jerk chicken and off course peameal bacon. Also home to Norma’s Pattie’s! Some of the best Jamaican beef patties in the city! We use PEI grass-fed beef, halal chicken from Niagara, and Perth County pork. From our deli to your belly!
Fantastic experience. This is a proper sandwich shop with real attention to detail. I had the jerk chicken sandwich which was super tasty. Beyond that, they were so kind and helpful, giving me plenty of insight into the menu + other local recommendations. Definitely will be back to try all the other sandwiches they offer.
Lots of take out orders, Room to eat inside for 4-5 ppl. The portion size is rather small. However The juiciness of each bite of of my meal I did not want it to end. Flavours extremely tasty with lots of spice. The beef patty was freshly made and I can’t remember a patty that tasted so delicious in a long time. I would recommend and return. The Owners are husband and wife. I got the daily Norma’s lunch special Jerk chicken sandwich. $15.25
Got the smoked meat on rye & classic prochetta and they were both sooo good! Would recommend ordering ahead online because the food takes a bit of time to cook but totally worth it. Staff were super kind and the atmosphere just felt very wholesome! ☺️
This is a hidden gem - you will not regret coming here. The most incredible smoked meat sandwiches (better than in Montreal), patties AND the only place in Toronto that makes a proper British cup of tea (builders brew style, for those who know). We had the vegetarian egg and cheese sandwich, The Joseph and the Smoked Meat on Rye. The portions are big and there is excellent service. You'll never want an A&W breakfast sandwich again.
Quality food, great value. Very good house porchetta sandwich 8/10 Incredible value in their lunch special, for $14 you're getting a mini Ruben (7/10) a spicy beef Jamaican patty (10/10) and a pop. That combo together is any easy 9/10 for value alone. You can really tell that every one there cares about what they are doing and it's a privilege to watch them work. Parking can be had around the corner at a Green P lot for $1.5 per half hr.
I’m writing this review while I’m eating my best meal and trust me this is coming from a person who has been to multiple cheap eats to expensive places in the City. I think this is what sole food taste like. It’s so flavourful and they don’t skim out on their portions. This is our second time here and I can’t stop raving about this place.
Very much a premium feeling smoked meat sandwich. The smoked meat was very fatty (good thing) and they use good rye. Small space with limited seating.
Never been here before, but I was craving meat :) Called ahead to place a pick up order - “no problem, how long will you be?” Food was ready on time, and the entire staff (all 3 that were there at the time) were friendly and welcoming. Got jerk chicken (extra hot) and brisket. The food was insanely good. They gave me mustard for the beef, absolutely slaps!! But the jerk chicken……WOW. Hot enough to make you feel it, but not enough to ruin the flavour. Just enough sweetness to cut through the heat. I highly recommend this place. In fact, I literally called them to thank them after I finished my food. %100 legit. This place is awesome. Can’t wait to go back!
Very bad service. Staff do not know how to talk to people respectfully
A very bad place in Toronto
I decided to stop by on my way home because every time I passed this store, I was tempted to try their patties. From the moment I walked in, I was amazed by the atmosphere. David and Kim were super friendly, which made the experience even better. I had a beef patty, and honestly, it was the best $3.95 I ve spent all day! Merci beaucoup!
Had serious patty cravings and this really helped curb them - the jerk chicken patty and sweet potato patty were both delicious!
So good and authentic! The owner is incredibly nice, and it feels like a local favorite that everyone in the neighborhood loves.
Top notch service, scrumptious food & good vibes all the way This is now on our top spots list. Highly recommended!
So amazing I love it here, even the salad is amaz. We get food from here as a team when we hit our quotas at work
My god my new spot anytime Im in the junction homemade oxtail patties homemade dough. Also got the works canadian bacon sandwich along with a cappuccino and all of it was 5 stars I honestly love the pig came home.
Got the jerk chicken and sloppy Reubenunch special. Was able to mix n match. Decent value ! Cool obscure vibe, food was comforting and delicious. When we re around for work we ll definitely stop by again.
I d simply say that I would travel to Toronto just for their sandwich and I live in the western Canada
The sandwich changed my life. I realized that my life is now sub par because of how incredibly good it was. Thanks for ruining me.
Truly delicious, generous portions!
My husband is on wheelchair and always check places for accessibility before we go anywhere. This place has the sign for accessibility, so We drove all the way from Downtown, only a I find out it s not accessible and the owner, old guy instead of being apologetic and trying to give solutions, gave us attitude and was rude. I wouldn t recommend it.
Quality, delicious food, friendly atmosphere, fair prices. Truly a Junction/Toronto gem!
The Wake n Bake is sooooo worth waking up for! Very friendly service is a bonus!
Oh my god.
Great deli style sandwiches. I m a big Rueben guy and there s is delicious. Wish they had more seating. Would have loved to eat it fresh there. It gets a little messy/soggy when you take it home, but mostly just due to the service size, which is great. The sides are also great too. Had the potato salad and the coleslaw. Would recommend both. With better seating this place is 5 stars across the board. That said- would still recommend, and would still come back again.
Ordered the Reuben and the jerk chicken sandwich. Both were delicious! The Reuben was my favourite. Perfectly fatty meat and delicious flavours. We got two spicy beef patties too. Homemade!! They were incredible. 10/10 will be back and would recommend! Thanks Kim!!!
So yum and very friendly staff!!!
One of our favorite sandwiches in town.
The food is incredible - Norma s patties are out of this world! Some of their menu items are halal which is so so appreciated! The folks there are also wonderful!
Wow! Since I moved into the hood I ve been here many times! Their brisket is delicious and love that they have a lean option. Their Jamaican patties are flaky and tasty! I crave both these items weekly. Staff are super friendly, cool and so good at what they do!
I ordered the Smoked meat on Rye. Straight hole to the food coma. Food
The customer service for this store is amazing. I have been visiting this store for about 2+ years and each time I visit, I always feel welcomed. Best smoked meat in the city!
Simply the best. Edit: Just came back from lunch. An almost out of body experience through delicious food. The place was filled with people absorbed in the ecstasy of their meal - wow. A beautiful experience. Delicious. Amazing. Great (FANTASTIC) value. Wow - this place was great in the old location and it is wonderful in the new spot. Delicious food served with sincerity and efficiency. This is a DESTINATION. I had a combo: Jamaica Patty with a SLoppy Reuben and a drink. Great. Did I say great? Top notch tasty smoked meat sandwich.
Delicious delicious chicken sandwich and will accommodate gluten free! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free Food : 5/5 |
Very friendly staff, small but perfect size. The buns were so soft and delicious. The sandwiches, matched
Got a lunch special (smaller sized sandwich+ patty) and it really hit the spot and satisfied a craving so definitely worth every cent. Go get yourself something, youll be thanking the staff for their service Just a heads up the space is not big, so if youre a group plan to do takeout.
Follow @bredgyeats for yummy food pictures! Smoked Beef Sandwich - Thick and generous slices of smoked beef, interlaced with fat and spices piled high on some soft rye bread, dressed with some mustard. Fall apart tender and had a savory, smoky taste. Also came with half a pickle to balance out the fattiness.
Always good
Ordered the jerk chicken sandwich for the first time. It was delicious, one of the best sandwiches I ve had in a while. although, I wish it was slightly bigger. Lovely staff and great service. Can t wait to come back here. Such a gem in the junction area!
The jerk chicken sandwich is perfectly balanced. Soft bun, creamy coleslaw and a good amount of chicken inside. Great spot to grab a tasty sandwich. Also really like that there s a sink opposite where you order so that you can wash your hands. You will probably need it!
Awesome food. Staff are super friendly.
Had the smoked meat and Philly cheese steak. Smoked meat was excellent, Philly was good. Very friendly staff. Will definitely be back! Food : 5/5
I ve never had a better sandwich.
Stumbled upon this place while shopping, I got the sloppy Reuben and Spicy Patty lunch special and it was genuinely delicious. The Reuben had the perfect amount of every ingredient and condiment, and the patty was warm and flavourful from the dough to the meat. Super tasty, filling, and the staff were familiar and friendly :)
Had the sloppy rueben lunch special and it was a perfect portion at a good price. Pleasant staff too!
Had the jerk chicken lunch special, it was amazing!
Top ten sandwich places in the city, no doubt.
The cheesesteaks and smoked meat sandwiches here are simply irresistible - juicy, flavorful, and downright addictive. It was Wow at first bite. Dont miss out, theyre a must-try!
Omg. I just had the best sandwich in my life. Seriously. I m shocked how good it was. I wanna eat it every day.
Best smoked meat sandwich I ve had in my lifetime, so great. Other great menu items available as well. Note that this restaurant is not wheelchair/ stroller accessible.
Small portions and nothing like what photos show on their IG. Staff seemed moody and unhappy to be working Saturday. Limited space to eat inside so prepare to take your order to go.
OG Peameal Bacon Sandwich and Black Truffle chips are to die for!
This review is solely for their beef patty. I ve been a regular at When the Pig Came Home for quite some time, even before they relocated to their new spot. Known for their stellar sandwiches such as the porchetta and smoked meat sandwiches, I finally decided to try their beef patties on my recent visit. Upon unwrapping, the aroma of turmeric was unmistakable, giving a strong fragrance to the patty. While the beef filling surprised me with the addition of herbs like rosemary, I found the patty itself lacking the flakiness and butteriness I had hoped for; the dough resembled more the texture of a samosa shell. Additionally, the beef filling seemed under seasoned, missing the essential touch of salt to bring out its full flavor profile. Although their beef patty falls short of my expectations, I still remain a dedicated fan and look forward to returning to try other things on their menu.
Tried this place few times and the best try was a first time over half year ago. I would say it s sadly a very bland taste of the food. Spicy Philly sandwich is bland, a bit of kick from peppers but that s all, the meat is extremely chewy, cheese was good. Jerk chicken was average, there is better places for that on the same street. Porcetta was way too oily. They used to have amazing sauerkraut, but sadly changed it to some vinegar cabbage. Overall, every time I have something from here it does not deliver me a good taste experience.
Staff was super nice and the food was good!
Love this spot amazing staff and some of the best Sandys in the city
The food is so amazing there, if I had a bad meal its because I suck not the food...these guys are blessed and amazing...keep it up...
So great. So good!
Located right at the edge of the Junction neighborhood, this restaurant makes a great lunch spot if youre looking for some nice smoked meat sandwiches. I ordered the 1/2 lb Reuben on Rye, and a potato and kale salad on my visit, and was quite pleased with both flavour and portions. The restaurant offers breakfast sandwiches, porchetta, jerk chicken, and other types of beef sandwiches. They use grass fed, hormone and anti-biotic free meats that are prepared fresh daily until they sell out. Service here is super friendly, and while theres limitd seating, due to the small size of the place, they have a sink right across the counter for customers who wishes to eat there to wash their hands since some of these sandwiches can get messy.
Best ever.
We d heard such good things we wanted to try it. We split a porchetta sandwich and a classic Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Maybe we got them on a bad day, but the porchetta was just meh pretty flavourless and not actually all that fresh tasting. We went mid-afternoon so maybe it had sat in a steamer all day until we got there. Can t say. The crackling wasn t so much nice and crispy as it was alarmingly reminiscent of finding bits of hard, ground glass in your sandwich. We did quite enjoy the Philly cheesesteak, though. Great tastes and texture. I would definitely go back for another of those.
The best deli in the city hands down. This has always been a solid sandwich shop, but over the holidays we ordered a smoked turkey from them, and it was spectacular. I don t even like turkey, but my husband loves it and we had friends over to help eat. I ended up eating two plates and leftovers for the rest of the week. I still don t like turkey EXCEPT when it s from Pig Came Home.
Porchetta was dry and mustard sauce with disgusting
Best sandwiches in Toronto. The house porchetta is my favourite. Also follow their instagram for secret menu items
Great place to get all kind of oriental Asia groceries
Omg: the sandwiches here are AMAZING, and the service is excellent.
The friendly delightful staff here are worth the trip alone!!! I just devoured one of the spicy beef patties and am planning my return trip for next week to try more items. Everything on point here folks.
Incredible smoked meat, and some of the best Jamaican patties in the city. Always order a Juicy patty. Great husband and wife team run this place
We took the family on a detour to visit WTPCH Deli so our teenage boys would be able to last on their visit to ROM. I got the Peameal sandwich so I could experience a traditional Canadian creation. It did not disappoint. My boys all had different offerings; the reuben, brisket, and the BLT. There were no noises heard other than satisfaction. My husband dropped comments for the rest of the evening about going back for round two. Definitely worth your time!
Smoked meat on rye , meat was nice and juicy. Will have to try every item on their menu!!
This place is so good! I just wish it had dinner hours! Amazing. The loosey is so good!
I ordered off of ubereats. Food arrived, portion size wasnt the greatest but it was a 2 for 1 BOGO deal. The real issue is found a giant hair in one my sandwiches. Completely disgusting
Everything on this menu is delicious! That smoked meat is out of this world. Also got some beef patties to take home and they were the best I ve every had. Also excellent service!
One of the best spots in the junction , quality food and ingredients , you can taste the love Ryan and Norma put in their food . I eat here at least once a week and it is prob one of my fav meals .. highly recommended, try the joeseph and don t forget to add a beef patty
Very best places Ive been to and still always coming back. Its not only the food that were best but the people working here. They will know you by name and makes you feel you belong to the neighborhood. Food are delicately prepared and packed for you. Even though they do not have a big space but they will make you feel at home. Highly recommended!
Had a breakfast sandwich and it was good. Would want to try the other option on the menu.
You wont find a better artisan sandwich (or Jamaican patty) than at this Junction gem. Even the potato salad is the bomb. SUPER consistent. Great staff. Eat here, you will not regret it.
Had the Rueben on rye, had to search for the kraut. It was okay. Being an ex-Montrealer Schwartzs is still the best for smoked meat, sorry.
Great food. Great coffee. Great people!
Absolutely delicious food and amazing service! I live out of town and wish I could take the store back with me lol!
Everything is fresh and bursting with flavor. My favorite order is the jerk chicken sandwich with slaw and scallions. Also highly recommend the breakfast sandwiches. Along with tasty food, you always get service with a smile here. Can t wait to visit again.
My husband and I made sure we stopped into this restaurant based on one reviewer s comment that the smoked meat sandwich at this place rivals Schwartz s in Montreal. Those are some BIG shoes to fill. We were greeted warmly but the staff and chatted about our day exploring local craft breweries. He helpfully pointed us in the direction of a few breweries. Junction and Rainhard were awesome! The Montreal Smoked Meat sandwich is a damned good sandwich. The meat is tender, and there is lots of it and you get a large pickle on the side. My only beef (er, oink?) is that my sandwich was quite messy with mustard all over the one side of the bread. This is a tiny spot but it s a great place to stop for a quick lunch for smoked meat lovers.
I loved it. Great sandwiches and amazing vibe and service.
Awesome peameal breakfast sandwich!
Greatest brisket I have had in my life!
I love everything about this place.
WtPCH Deli is easily the best lunch spot in the Junction (or good for an early dinner I suppose)! I ve tried everything on their menu from the Reuben, the Philly Cheesesteak, the Jerk Chicken, to the Pork/Porchetta & everything in between - Don t sleep on the patties!! Incredible. Everything is unbelievably tasty, juicy, tender, and clearly made with an enormous amount of love. The cherry on top, is the people! Some of the best around. Always friendly, always smiling, and always a pleasure to be around. Can t wait to keep coming here for many years to come!!
Amazinggg sandwhich I m very picky but this place had some of the best sandwiches I ve had. Very clean place as well
Everything was too good. I inhaled the sandwich and buttery beef patty within mins! I definitely will be telling all my friends and coming back for more!!
High tier food, you cannot deny the value
Classic smoked meat sandwich was amazing. Philly cheese sandwich was okay. The spicy beef parties were flavourful and really spicy, loved them.
OMG Best Sandwich s in Toronto by far!!!! Thanks
The best Smoked Meat Sandwich outside of Montreal...5 stars
No words to describe it. Everything is fantastic. Been coming here from the original Junction Market days to his first location on Dundas and now Keele. Must try
Service is always friendly and food is exceptional. Best beef patties in the city! Juicy filling and pastry shell is decadent.
Seemingly nice people. Pretty good smoked meat sandwich. Peameal sandwich not good.
real good food!
My favourite place for a porchetta sandwich. it so meaty, filled with fat and crispiness. it is so delicious! You must also try the spicy beef patty. best patty in town.
Pretty good - however like most places in Toronto the smoked meat is lean and therefore dry.
Great place and amazing lovely attention. The food was good too. We wanted to try the tradicional peameal and it was good! Even the salad was yummy. Wed love to come back even to say hello
Amazing place, worth every penny. Crackling on the porchetta sandwich, incredible hot sauces and mustards to compliment. Friendly staff, what more could you ask for!? EDIT: went to their new location and 6 long years later the food is just as good if not better. The first Porchetta sandwich was good I ordered another.
A great homemade Jamaican beef pattie. The real deal.
My favourite sandwich place in all of Toronto! Delicious, melt in your mouth meat and the friendliest owners! This is what a neighbourhood eatery should feel like. Ive loved everything Ive had here over the years and Im always bringing out of towners here. My fave sandwich is the Shrek -- you gotta try it!
I ordered/picked my sandwich up at about 1:45.. walked home, about a 12 minute walk.. and the sandwich is ALREADY gone! (It s 2:05) Hands down the best jerk chicken sandwich I ve ever had, the chicken was cooked perfect, crunchy slaw, and you can t beat the deal for the lunch bag special. 100/100 would recommend to anyone! If you re craving a sandwich, this is your place.

Love their lunch special! Jerk chicken and beef Patty. The spicy one had me crying ( in a good way) but it s HOT and delicious
the smoked meat and jamaican patty is good. the panchetta tasted a bit stale when i had it, like it had been sitting out for awhile.
Redefining soul food. I especially like the house porchetta sandwich!
Delicious
Food is amazing. Hours of operation are worse than the DMV
Always satisfying and life altering :) The Reuben with a full sour pickle on the side is all you need to feel alright in the world
Honestly, I don t know what s better? The food or the people running the place? All around amazing. I could not recommend more highly. Smoke meat sando is incredible. Thanks as always! Cheers, Ryan
Staff are horribly unprofessional
Well, one of the best places around. The Philly Cheesesteak is something I cant wait to have again.
Easily the best sandwich I ve ever had in the city and I am not even kidding. You will need to wait a little bit to get your order but it is worth the wait. We ordered the porchetta and peameal bacon sandwich and both were delicious. I look forward to trying the smoked meat and Jamaican patty next time I visit!
The restaurant is situated on Keele St right before Keele and Dundas St W (Junction). The restaurant itself is a small restaurant with 4-5 high stool seats and 2 benches. Service: really friendly service, helpful with what to order and what toppings are on what sandwich Lineup: There was a line-up when I went with about three people ahead of me, I got there 2 minutes before 11:00AM. The Food: I ordered a Philly Cheese Steak - Ryans way, and a spicy stuffed jamaican patty on the loose side. The Philly cheese steak was good I wish there was a bit more hot peppers and a little less cheese whiz but other than that it was great. The stuffed jamaican patty was not that great especially after having the philly cheese steak. You really cant taste any of the beef, so most of what you taste is cheese and tomato. Cost: I paid $28 for the philly cheese steak sandwich and the stuffed spicy jamaican patty. The stuffed patty was $6.80 + tax which now seems very expensive for what you get. Overall: The sandwich was great and patty not so much. If you are coming here for lunch it could be a long wait. It took me around 40ish minutes to order and receive my food. So being aware of time and ordering ahead is needed if you have limited time for lunch.
Its the first thing that comes out of my mouth when someone asks for a Toronto sandwich recco.
The food here is stupid good. They changed the gluten free buns and it feels like real bread! Love this place. The only downside would be the hours they are open but the food makes up for it all Dietary restrictions: Love the gluten free
The people who work there are super friendly, food is amazing I d go back
REALLY good
Some of the best sandwiches in the city! Super fresh, everything baked on site. Been a fan since their beginning.
Hands down this place has the best sandwiches. The meat is always super juicy but doesn t taste fatty at all.
Don t waste your time reading the reviews on google. Reddit has an entire thread dedicated to Ryan and his sandwiches. His wife making the patties blows fahmee and Randy s out of the water. And the dude in the front cash with the goatee- Nicest man in the junction. That s all you need to know Why aren t you waiting in line for their grand reopening? GO NOW. ALSO OPEN UP ALREADY MY PANTS ARE GETTING TOO LOOSE!
You should go eat here if you enjoy eating food. Just absolutely brilliant chow. Smoked meat is as good as Sumilicious, but made just a shade differently, enough that one may properly hold both in the same sufficient level of reverence. To boot, incredibly nice people running the joint. Go check it out, you will be happy you did.
Best spot in the west end.
Unimpressive smoked meat sandwich. Came for pork because of the name when the pig came home and no pork at 1pm. Wasnt asked if wed like lean, medium or fatty. Luckily we grabbed a water with the sandwich to wash down the dryness. Was a lot better when it first opened. 2 stars because the brine and rub on the meat was decent.
Not a bad taste but the bread should be thicker. If youre taking the sandwich to go this is what it will look like. Average taste not worth $17
Overpriced not worth $17. And the bread way too thin by the time you get home this is what it looks like.
Loved the fresh beef patties
Popped in for a patty and the porchetta sandwich special. Both were delicious! The patty was one of the best Ive had, delicious rich pastry. Ryan and the team are super friendly and the prices are great. Perfect neighbourhood lunch spot!
Best beef patties. Great place. Only thing missing here is a larger sit down and more dine in atmosphere with beer.
So. Damn. Good. All of it. The stand outs are the porchetta and the patties. Hell even the coleslaw is amazing and I dont even like coleslaw. Recommended all around.
Their smoked meat is just AMAZING, great to hear that its a grass fed product!
Really welcoming experience- Neka was incredibly welcoming and provided excellent customer service! The Philly cheese she recommended was incredible. The Girl s Scout s cookies were awesome to buy as well. Can t wait to come by here again.
So good
Friendly service, clean and pleasant environment. Above all, the most delicious Reuben sandwich Ive ever had! The meat was tender, flavourful and plentiful.
We love this place. The sandwiches are incredible. So fresh and absolutely worth trying
New location review update: spacious and clean new facility and consistent food. Limited menu on Mondays and Tuesdays with no virtual ordering available. $9.50+tax for lunch special includes jerk chicken sandwich or sloppy Reuben sandwich plus patty and can of pop. Virtual ordering on a Wednesday was seamless. Picked up at stated time. Another great deal: lattes for $3+tax. Only complaints: there was a pinch of sauerkraut accidentally included on my house porchetta sandwich. Weird but true. Payment machine requires touching a couple of times but not cleaned between customers.
I had 2 smoked meat sandwiches and a coleslaw for lunch yesterday . The smoked meat sandwiches were great . Not quite as good as I would get in MTL , it was missing something in the spices , but some of the best I had in the city . the creamy coleslaw was a little disappointing , but I was there mostly for the sandwiches . So overall experience was good , and Ill make sure to come back for the sandwiches and Ill skip on the salad next time .
Amazing
I got a pea-meal bacon sandwich and some of the smoked meat to go. All assembled at time of ordering. It does take some time but good things come to those who wait. The smoked meat is the best I have had. I will be coming back. Grab a Jamaican patty while you are there my partner really enjoyed it.
Popped in earlier this week for the first time, ordered two patties and smoke meat sandwich; everything was delicious.
Staff and food were great. Consider asking for a little bit more sauce if youre getting The Jacob.
Usually i dont bother with reviews but if your looking for a good quality smoked meat sandwich this is the place to go to! Amazing big portion of meat on a rye bread that just melts in your mouth! They even gave me extra pickles when i asked on uber! And the sauce they use for it matches it perfectly, definitely worth the price! :) Will be coming back!
One of the best places to get a sandwich in Toronto. The beef cheek literally melts in your mouth. I m drooling just thinking about eating it again! Highly recommend the trek to check it out.
Ryan and team are the best. My goto is the House Porchetta. Brilliant.
Best jerk chicken sandwich ever! Im sure everything else here is really good too, but Ive only had the jerk chicken sandwich and I cant switch it up because its just too good! Love this place.
I went here yesterday, first time in the new location. Just as good as always. Had the jerk chicken sandwich. Was excellent. Good people , great food!!
This place has really good smoked meat, I had some bad brisket in the neighborhood today that made me miss your restaurant and Im genuinely upset that I didnt write a review before (but glad Im doing it now). Ill be over soon for some of that good meat!
One of the best smoked meat sandwiches Ive had to date. The beef patties are also phenomenal.
Delicious food. Delightful people. Just fantastic !
The Reuben! Nuff said.
Best Prochetta ever. Dont miss it. B
Amazing food. Great friendly staff!! We feel so privileged to have this type of restaurant/business in our neighbourhood.
My favourite one is Joseph
Yummy food and lovely atmosphere. Staff are super friendly and welcoming
The wife and I visited this gem today. Staff are welcoming and wonderful! One of the best sandwiches weve had in a very long time. Excellent quality, fresh ingredients, the patties are absolutely delicious and flaky! Will definitely return. You simply have to eat here.
Oh man you gotta try this place! Hardest part is deciding what to get
Brisket! Brisket! Brisket! and other delicious food!
Best sandwiches in the area. Best patties Ive had in the city. Awesome people. One of my favourite places to eat, anywhere.
Oh my! I cannot believe this was just my first visit. Tried the Montreal smoked meat, and it delivers! Only bad thing is I left before I ordered a 2nd . 100 % will be back on a regular basis.
One of the best sandwich shops on planet earth, made with passion and love.
Scratch cooking. Best Jamaican Pattie s in town and jerk chicken sandwich was delicious but a bit too creamy. My friend thought it was perfect so personal preference. Attentive service.
Amazing Sandwiches! The House Porchetta is a must try!
Best beef Pattie s in the Nation
Yeah. These reviews are totally legit. The smoked meat sandwich was amazing and huge. With me Being a Jamaican patty fanatic and Fahmee shut down for Pattie s, I decided to try the Norma patty even though I knew I couldn t eat both. Damn! That patty is the new crowned champion! Some places excel at the crust. Some excel at the filling. This place is hands down the best for both. And finally a place where the spicy is SPICY and I m not adding my own scotch bonnet sauce on top! I think I need to order from here with multiple people so you can order multiple items and taste a bit of everything. So hard to pick one item.
I had the Philly steak Sammy, (Ryans style?) It was really delicious! Had the kale potato salad. Price was a bit more than I expected, but I cant complain that much as it was so good!
Quality sandwiches and patties! My go-to is the lunch bag special with the Sloppy Rueben + beef pattie and drink.
Ordered the beef juicy patty and added jerk chicken. My god. It was juicy, flavourful, and had the perfect amount of spice. This has got to be the easiest and quickest review I ve done. Also, I have to mention the employee at the cash register today was very sweet and friendly.
Love this guys so close to home
Everything melts in your mouth. Absolutely amazing food. And the chickens halal!!!
Always great!
Grabbed the lunch special w/ the Reuban and spicy patty. Absolutely delicious and fresh tasting. Service was top notch. Definitely will return to try the jerk chicken!
Love the food. Love the staff. This place is a gem!
THE SANDWICH TASTE SO GOOD
Peameal sandwich, one of the best in the city. Thick cut! Their jerk is dope as well
I stopped by last week after not having visited since the before times. The bad - no more beef cheek sandwiches. The Good - their smoked meat is excellent. A bit drier than Im accustomed to but thats not a bad thing as the bread doesnt dissolve in your hands. The meat is delicious - it has a hint of some other spice that lends it a bit of a pastrami vibe. Absolutely no complaints though, Ill make an excuse to brave the traffic and head back again soon. Edit - staff are still top shelf.
The best smoked meat sandwich this side of Centre Street deli.
Always amazing customer service and the food is 10/10!
Had the house porchetta sandwich and it was excellent. Everything on the sandwich went well together. The porchetta is sliced thinly deli-style. It even came with crackling. The only negative was I had to wait about 20 min longer for my order than I was told, but it was in the middle of the lunch rush and the person who handed me my order apologized.
Literally the best sandwiches in the city. Not an exaggeration. Just try it...
With what seem to be limited hours, youd think a little deli like this wouldnt last. Well, they dont need to be open all the time because the quality of their food will make sure you keep coming back when theyre open. All hand made and cooked in small batches so if they run out, youll just have to try again another time. Highly recommend the stuffed patties (if youre lucky enough to get there on time), the reuben, or the jerk chicken!
Excellent sandwiches.
The sandwiches are good but it s a little annoying that it s take out only. The staff was friendly but slow.
Just AMAZING!!!!!! My wife and I love to discover new places and this one hit it out of the park!!! Their sign outside had this fun humour to it which tells you, this place is zen! As soon as we walked in we were greeted and a conversation was struck up over my WKRP shirt! Everyone there was so welcoming and friendly it was amazing!!! We hadnt even ordered yet!! The vibe there was just Awesome Cool!!! We got the smoked meat and Reuben sandwiches and they were on point with them!!! Brilliant texture, amount, size and flavours and you just cant go wrong with a damn good sandwich!!!! We chatted away while our food was getting ready. Just the Nicest people there!! Well Definitely be back!!!!
