Lima Charlie’s in Toronto

The food was great, and the atmosphere was fun and cheerful

Love this place. Great food and drinks.

The bartenders are impeccable with service standards, especially the tall old bartender and cute blonde one. I believe the names are Jimi and Jen. Wings are delicious and they make a great jamo and coke

Great neighbourhood bar, my favourite place to grab a pint after work. Awesome staff & great food!

My favourite place to come after every day. The best environment and the best staff.

Golden friggin tee and great staff

Decent food, friendly service and reasonable price when you compare it to the downtown core area. They even have late night happy hour after 11pm!

Comfortable, clean place with that local bar vibe, the place where a few regulars keep it going, people seem to know each other, not too busy, dark woodwork with nooks, and friendly, caring bartenders, pretty good quality of food and value for money for where it places in the restaurant hierarchy.

Good downtown east bar. As pub as it gets.

Im a regular here, love the service and friendly staff.

Nice bar for sports watching and some bar games as well. Beer was good and food as well. Poutine is recommended as well as the fish and chips

Wings were surprisingly good! Some of the best in the area. Highly recommend. And the staff are always pleasant.

Such an amazing establishment the best atmosphere I ll always go back!!!! Love it there!!!! Thank you jimmy for allowing my sisters and I to truly have a good time! I appreciate you from the bottom of heart!! Can t wait to see you again!!! Food

Nice stop off bar with friendly servers, great food and fast drinks, will be back

Best pub food in TO

Friendly drinks in a cozy atmosphere.

We found exactly what we were looking for at Lima Charlies. Friendly service, great food and perfect atmosphere. Loved the poutine and all the staff were super nice and fast. Great neighbourhood close to St Lawrence market.

Didnt actually get food as kitchen was closed, staff was friendly and quick the place feels homey and cozy, The aperol spritz was decent I personally enjoyed the tequila refresher but it was really sour so be warned. My partner had the vodka smash a mojito they said the smash was good but mojito had left much to be desired.

Food = delicious. Staff, really fantastic, even in the face of adversity. Would make it a regular haunt if it were near us. Thanks, Jimmy! You all handled the evening brilliantly.

Service is good. Wings are skimpy.

Being from Maryland, I have a pretty good knowledge of fresh fish. On this episode of Great Race I happened upon this place. Walked inside and was kindly greeted pleasantly by the Hostess/ Bartender, she took our order. Then I asked her what she would have recommended. She replied the Fish & Chips, which is what I had already chosen. Let me say on my way out the door, we greeted customers entering for first time, I took it upon myself to let them know that I knew along with the Hostess that the best choice is that Fish & Chip platter. What is that guy in the rear doing? The Cook KNOWS how to put it Down!

I came in by chance while passing by and the staff was very friendly

Your new local, indeed! This used to be a Gabbys and Im quite happy to report that the owner bought themselves out from Gabbys and has gone independent which has improved this bar ten-fold. The food now is solid and some stuff (wings) is sourced from the St Lawrence Market and they offer great happy hour and weekly deals (1lb $10 wings on Tues and Thurs, $5 house brew which is actually good). The food is solid pub fare with lots of options and non-alcoholic drinks too. Ive tried 6 menu items and liked them all. The new decor is nice and modern with a touch of character. Love that they kept the golf machines but updated everything else. The window seats are really nice. If you like sports youll know that there arent many places to watch a game but this bar has nice TVs throughout and we go to watch Hockey. However, it isnt just a sports bar vibe, its got more than that going on My recommendations are: improve the daytime music playlist its a bit slow/sappy. The evening stuff was better and more upbeat. Also suggest you get a special brunch menu option (killer eggs Benny or something on the weekend?) to get some of the diners from next door at petit dejeuner who dont want to sit in the crazy lineups for that place. Anyways great job on the renos and new menu/atmosphere. Ive been twice now and will return again!

Amazing what they have done with thus bar! The food is definitely way better with the new chef!

Amazing spot for wings. Love the gar par. Great service!

Super friendly service and nice little patio!

I had my first experience eating poutine here, and it was great.

Got lost and didnt plan to come here but surprisigly good foods. Typical bar/restanrant service. Foods were good tho. Worth the time and money to check this place out.

Best spot in the neighborhood. Some of the best wings Ive ever had! Happy hour deals are amazing as well!

I would not recommend this place. I got hit with a 32 DOLLAR extra charge when the server was splitting the bill. The guy was nice enough and he was trying to refund it. I waited a good amount of time but, he could not refund it so I had to eat the charge and there was no staff that was well trained available to refund the charge. Having to eat a 32 dollar additional charge is insane!!!! I personally wouldn t come back here again and I would not recommend this place as there are plenty of alternative options in downtown Toronto (there is literally a pub/bar on every corner). Also there are no good vegan options and the vegan option available is extremely over priced. Definitely not a fan of this place. The sweet potato fries were good but nothing special you can t get anywhere else. Dietary restrictions: Vegan options are extremely limited and overpriced.

Great service but the wings were a bit disappointing. Willing to give it another shot. The golf simulator was a nice touch.

Food was great, service good too. Our kids were melting down. They were very nice.

Jen is literally the best server! Lovely place and great atmosphere

Friendly atmosphere. Great place to go at lunch and grab a beer. Staff is super kool.

We Spent 2 days in Toronto and trying to find places to eat, weve actually found hard. We found this place on Google maps and glad we did. Welcome was fantastic put us right at ease and the food is spot on. I had the ribs and wings - highly recommend. Between us we had pizza/ kids meal/ chix tenders. Great atmosphere, quiet when we were here. Plenty on the screens sports wise and just a general nice place

Bartender nasty attitude!

Always a great place to have a drink and a bite to eat. Danny and Anna are great staff and provide excellent service always!

Absolutely awesome place! Incredibly nice and welcoming staff, and the chicken wings are out of this world amazing! Ill be back again and again without question!

Classic pub, a blast from the past. Great service and atmosphere

The food, the atmosphere is only surpassed by the friendliest staff you re ever going to see. Top to bottom. My personal fave are the chicken fingers!

I really enjoyed my meal here! I ordered the two piece fish and chips, the batter was cooked to a golden perfection and the fish was moist and delicious! My compliments to the chef! The staff were attentive without being intrusive and they were a delight. They do have a wide sample of draft beer in 3 different sizes.

Excellent Service! The food is the best pub food in the city! Great place to gather friends and family. The atmosphere is so comfortable, and friendly:) Great place to watch any sporting event! I give it 5 stars:)

Get the ribs and wings combo, they are both equally so delicious! Ribs are fall off the bone, while the wings are fresh never frozen from st lawrence market.

This place (previously Gabbys), right across from George Brown College is great for beer and wings. Since it became Lima Charlies, unfortunately on discounted wing nights they give you smaller, lower quality wings compared to regular days. Creemore and other pints are $8.80, Vodka soda $7.50. Dani and Ana bar tenders make very good Mojitos using Havana Club rum - $11.95. The staff and service are still good, efficient and friendly. Tried their veggie pizza recently; crust is of Bisquick style but not bad. Parking: Some GreenP street parking available during non-rush hour, otherwise difficult to find empty spots. You can park along King or George St. Wheelchair accessibility: The bathroom is down the stairs and steep; NOT disable friendly.

Great local spot. Jen goes above and beyond Jen is Jenning. We love to see it!

Visited Lima Charlie recently and was thoroughly impressed. The atmosphere was relaxed, the staff attentive, and the food and drinks were top-notch. Its clear they take pride in what they offer. A great spot to unwind after a long day or catch up with friends over a pint. Will definitely be returning to visit Megan

Great customer service. Miscommunication with the order with the bartender and he was so kind and cool about everything. Amazing hospitality.

The best bar in the neighborhood! A shout out to Jimmy for his excellent service! We have been here a couple of times and always had a pleasant experience. Food : 4/5

amazing spot! Great staff and atmosphere. Came here to celebrate an old friend from the Gabby s days but this place is far better! The old charm with new finishes and changes, but same great team! I ll be back for sure :)

The servers here are super kind and friendly. Shout out to Danny.

The beers and the food were good, with an ample variety of choices to choose from. The atmosphere of the pub was also very nice. However, the service was slow and not very nice, giving the impression that they just wanted us to leave.

My boyfriend and I came here for the first time last week after Christmas Market for some drinks. Our bartender was great! She was super friendly and patient with us, I ordered the beer battered fish and chips. It came out under cooked and I really couldnt enjoy it. Our bartender noticed I wasnt too happy and she told us not to worry she would take it off the bill no problem:) I really appreciated it. Great service girl! Thanks again

New place to have an after work drink and a meal, I hope it remains where it is. You know condos take over every good time place

Around 9 pm. All the seats at the bar were taken. We sat ourselves down. The initial service to take the order was slow. But she kept checking in periodically after we had our food. It was not loud or noisy or flashy. The washroom is downstairs. Its very claustrophobic and not that great. They have a single urinal. I just had a ginger ale. And that was charged for $3 something. The veggie nachos was awesome. It had the right mix of sauce, tomatoes, jalapenos and a small cup of red salsa. Ill definitely get that the next time. We ordered the small one and it was good for two of us. Vegetarian options: The nachos had a veggie option. And that was great

Place is pretty good, got sat down and ordered the half price wings. I didn t really like the chilli lime and the Parmesan Caesar, it was okay.

Good food

Food was decent, Service was great and Music was absolutely amazing \m/\m/. Nice neighborhood bar

Good bar and restaurant to hang out with friends.

Great food. Good beer list

Great place

Delicious food congrats

Felt treated differently from blonde waitress anytime she came to my table she had gave me a look and attitude she dropped more than put drop my food for me, food was greasy the only good thing was the fries which were kinda dry even with ketchup. Every time she came out of the kitchen she s look at my table. I was live streaming.With a few fans in stream well this all happened. Waited a month or so to post. 3 weeks later My separate experience with the male bartender was better and food was actually made right and the waitress working was nice and had smiled. I came earlier in the day that day. But for what ever reason no one should be treated differently when going to a bar. I used to go to the gabbys by Danforth and never had any issues and was served by the lovely blonde server there. She made the food right and was the friendliest.

We loved this place , the staff is so much fun and food was delivered quickly. The waiter we had was hilarious and we were actually looking forward to him coming over . Prices are super competitive and I wouldnt have thought it was a Toronto restaurant.

Great visiting Megan again!

Great place to go Monday through wednesdays wings are half price Staff friendly.

The place and the food were good.

A very friendly waitress, the service was 10, the atmosphere is good and the place was quite nice. As for the food, we ordered pizza, wings, rings, crudités, etc. and they were nothing out of the ordinary, which is why I give it 4 stars.

Great tunes and great wings at a great price

Came for Half price Wing night, they were amazing, I was not prepared at all for them to be that good, I will be coming back regularly! Service was slow considering how quiet it was, but the server was great. Poutine was 3/5 and the onion rings were 4/5

Early afternoon on a Wednesday. Not much going on, but half price wings!!! Only one bartender/server but he was just fine making sure everyone got what they needed. A little street patio outside, lots of TVs inside, and a nice mix of melodic music to just sit and have a pint.

I came in around 8 yesterday for the 1/2 wings and received the worst service by the blonde lady. She s very old in the face and looks like she gets ready in the dark. I came in and wasn t greeted. I looked around and waited, then asked if I could sit anywhere when a server appeared. She said yea and I sat down. I made sure to sit around people, so she d be able to see me. She never brought me a water, or even a menu.. after about 10 - 15 minutes, I saw someone leave from the kitchen and I had to ask them for a menu. I don t even know if he was a server, but I didn t see him serve anyone else afterwards so As I sat, I watched the lady server greet and tend to all the other guests, She caressed them, made jokes and even played with a guests hair in front of me, it was incredibly uncomfortable. I was there for 30-40 mins and the lady ignored me the entire time except to ask me for a take out container. I had to essentially chase her for the bill as she was trying to speed past my table. It was uncomfortable, gross and felt prejudiced. Even after I was done, I went looking for the male server guy so I can tip him personally, but I couldn t find him and I didn t trust the lady to be honest just based on how she treated me there. I wouldn t recommend going.. unless it s a day she isn t there. Also, I ordered 1lb of wings, not 2.

Coming back to a place where you used to work is always a challenge. But having said that, this isn t the first time, not the last, that I ve come back to this King East comfortable resto. The wings are still fresh every day (half price on Monday and Wednesday!! Just order a beverage and eat them there!), staff is efficient without being patronizing or stuffy, bar regulars make for great company and conversation. Let your head explode while you watch 3 sporting events at one time! See you there.

Sat on their patio for lunch. Great food, parking sucks (Toronto) and patio is on the street.

Great food since 1989

Jen is my fave!

The atmosphere is great! The music was nice, BUT the drinks seemed like it was watered down. Towards the end of the night, about 15 of us did a shot, and it seemed like we just drank a shot of simple syrup. No exaggeration here.

Came for a drink Tuesday night at 11:50 and they were closed (they re supposed to be open until 1 am). So frustrating as this isn t the first time that they ve been closed well before the posted time. Either stay open until your advertised time consistently or make your closing time vague on your site.

Friendly staff and tasty burgers

Chef needs a raise...food is great. Great atmosphere and service.

Wonderful service

I didn t like fries at all but service and environment were good

Having just arrived in Toronto from the UK we were hungry and jet lagged so stopped into Gabbys because it was the first sign we saw...Im really glad we did! The welcome was warm and friendly, nothing was too much trouble and the food was delicious! Were definitely coming back before we go home...we need to try the wings!

Great wings

Absolutely awesome place. Great food, friendly staff & nice atmosphere Food

Had drunks, Jess the bartender was awesome.

Post Gabbies .... Very energetic staff ...

Poor service. No appreciation for loyal customers.

Great bar! They have gone idependant and I love that.

It s got a very locals and neighbourhood vibe to it, bartender knows the people at the bar, etc. i just went to watch a hockey game there, it was fine, not as engaging as i thought it would have been.

Went to watch a leaf game and noticed that it is a new name. The staff were great, the food was done well and the atmosphere is fun and full of locals. I will be heading back to watch more Leaf games..

Every burger brought to the table for group orders was BEYOND overcooked (flat out burnt) and when sent back to the kitchen was replaced with burnt patties (again). Salsas and guacamole served with other dishes were also seemingly expired and could not be consumed (one patron left feeling ill). Overall a very disappointing first and last visit to the establishment.

Great place to grab a beer and wings! Thanks

Great staff, food and reasonable prices for downtown experience.

The place to be! I can t say enough about this place - stumbled in once and have been a regular ever since thanks to the staff, food and drinks. If you re in the area, pop in for a beer at the rail and a chat with the bartenders. I love the salads and the pizza!!! It s really the staff and comfort that makes the joint. Lima Charlie is the go to; pre leaf game, post concert, weekend chill. Huge fan

Absolutely awesome place. Great food, friendly staff & nice atmosphere Food

Stumbled upon this place looking for something to eat that wasnt fast food found Lima Charlies. Everything was great. Service was quick and attentive. Had the Burger it was delicious and the three other people in my group enjoyed what they ordered as well. The fries were well seasoned and portions were big and the price was more than fair especially for downtown Toronto. 5 stars

Now theyve gone independent, and the food is good quality pub style. The nacho chips are homemade and tasty. The wings are good and meaty (they get them daily from St. Lawrence Market, just around the corner). Check out the daily specials - theyre actually good deals. And the house pilsner is crisp and clean tasting - and very cold. Lots of TVs to watch the game. Just get them to change the poker to an actual sporting event! :)

Great wings and beer! And always has all the games on

Great lil spot for chicken wings and a poutine on a cold March night

I cant really give a chain pub more than four stars on principle, but the servers were real nice and while I was just another cog on wing night, they took good care of me.

Its a pub and Its a Gabbys.

Best wings in the city, hands down. If you like them spicy, the homemade Suicide sauce is a real killer and cant be beat. Lots of students flesh out the after work hours, with a cast and crew of regulars shoring up the nighttime. Fantastic staff wholl make you feel welcomed and easily match a face to a favourite. All-in, a great roadhouse style bar.

Super quiet on a Thursday evening, Great for drinks and finger food

Great staff - very friendly. Cozy spot. Fajitas are good.

best 1/2 priced wings in city

Wednesday half priced wings have become a staple date night. Food is always delicious and so flavourful! Our server Jen is always so nice and makes a delicious Cesar

Erin at Gabbys downtown..looked after me from the first drink to my lunch order Great food and great service. The neighborhood pub. Beer and chicken wings

A friendly little pub that is clean has excellent service and has good beer.

Awesome stellar service. Fish tacos are great and the wings. Kid-friendliness: I bring my son all the time. He loves the dessert and wings

Great fishnchips! Nice staff.All is fine.

Good and attention, excellent.

Staff is so polite Have been coming to this location for years Food

Had a great time, the crazy horse girl bartender Megan was absolutely amazing

Good food and a great atmosphere.

Good food. Great staff. Awesome atmosphere.

Best Wings in the City

Food was awesome. The poutine was great, not many places do it right. Service was great

I would describe this Gabby s as a place you meet up with a friend to catch up. A little rough around the edges, but decent drink specials, lively enough that it s fun but you can still have a conversation with friends. Food is satisfying. The server remembered me after only coming in twice, and it felt really welcoming.

Love their appetizers and burgers. Space is on the smaller size but the service is great and the food is very tasty! Lots of options.

Tasty food and expansive menu.

I really liked the wings here, to my understanding the wings are fresh and never frozen, service was nice and fast as well! Ill definitely be back to try more menu items!

Great service, cold beer and tasty wings!

Best wait staff and cooks I have ever experienced

Popped in for half price wings. Amy was our server, polite, professional and very attentive. The wings and potato skins were delicious and very fresh. Presentation of food excellent. Bathrooms were spotless. Good job Gabbys and yes we will be back and glad you are back too

The wings were delicious and the house salad I had was absolutely delicious also the host dressing is fantastic

Great service, excellent food.

By far the best chicken wings Ive had in the city.

Nice chill place for a pint

Great place for beer and nachos

decent

Great little bar! Awesome homemade burgers

Great atmosphere

Great little pub. I go there before class!

Kind of meh, the staff is friendly but the place is slow moving and the food could definitely use improvement.

Nice pub - good food and friendly service

Our server was aloof and rude to us. The restaurant was almost empty but this server gave us extremely slow service while he semed to have an arrogant attitude ..only coming by our table with the attitude he had better things to do while he spent half his time chatting at the bar with other staff members.later when he came with the bills .when he seemed to be studying them to figure out whose bill was whose I thought I would be helpful by volunteering the information as to which meal was mine.and he rudely responded I know whose bill is whose .do you think I just started here yesterday?. I didnt respond..but we left with a bad feeling that we were badly treated

Great staff and tasty food.

Nice place

Really tasty food, loved the Mediterranean pizza and potatoes . Friendly staff. Coming back again!

Good food, good service, lots of tables available on the side of the road, probably could be spaced out a little more though

Wings r really good but had cob salad its so so good!!!

Ok food. Awesome staff and Awesome setup outside . Would recommend

Great food and drink with good value for money and speedy friendly service. Intimate local ambiance with cool pub decor. The place is all one level and accessable for people with mobility concerns. Cant beat the downtown location. Street parking only. They accept all major credit cards and debit.

Came to celebrate their 30 year anniversary with 80s pricing! Wings are always good here and I am told they are from st Lawrence market hence the large sized wings (Ive never seen larger anywhere else). Whenever we come we always do wings and beer. Never a letdown

Always a great time and the staff are super friendly and helpful. Fun fir groups!

The wings are my favorite, along with the 4$ jameson!!

I got a pound of wings and the food was okay. I washed it down with a nice cold beer. Overall there isnt anything special about the food or drink selection. In the end this is a very average bar, where you wont be disappointed, but you also wont be impressed.

Food ok. But when you ask if the sound is on for the soccer (eastern conference final) and they say yes, its kind of annoying when they refused when the game started. Very condescending service.

Half-price chicken wings Monday and Wednesday

Good staff, food is decent. Great place to meet people at the bar if youre semi friendly

I tried there old fashioned, and caeser tastes are very delicious. Thank you

On king st near george brown, jameson is always 4$ a shot and wings are awesome plus added bonus staff is cool

$14 FOR 7 TINY WINGS THATS SHAMEFUL!!!
