Allen's

Really enjoyed the atmosphere very Homely friendly great choice of menus. I had the burger which was fantastic. My choice was that it was cooked medium and it was ideal. Side of greens and dressing.

Food ok, overpriced, would have been better if I had not scrapped my hand on a nail protruding from the chair I was sitting on. The staff was seemed incredibly uninterested, although she switched the chair, moving it to the table next to us (?!?) and handing me bandaids. I think it is was her inability to apologize that dampened the experience. A simple I'm sorry, would you like a drink on the house would have been enough to change the situation.

I wish someone could explain to me the enduring appeal of Allen’s. I’ve lived in Toronto for 25+ years, and eaten all over the city, from low- to high-end, and I can’t think of another restaurant where I’ve experienced such rudeness and hostility on such a consistent basis. I just moved to the Danforth in the fall, and after a comically bad night at Allen’s in October I vowed I wasn’t going to darken their door again. However, there aren’t a lot of lunchtime options in the area, and my sister thought their menu looked good, so I thought I would give it one more try. Yet again, rudeness, disdain, and quite frankly mediocre food (in October, our table of four each ordered four different desserts from our server—who was already treating us like we’d just slashed his tires—and they were all stale). They’re resting on their laurels of having what was once considered a noteworthy burger (c. 1998, maybe), and not a lot of competition in the area. Even the smugness on the entirely white faces of the other patrons was off-putting, like eating at Allen’s somehow makes you cool (it doesn't). The whole staff could benefit from taking a congeniality course. EAT SOMEWHERE FRIENDLIER!

Food was amazing, helped by salivating over the food delivered to neighboring tables. Service was friendly, if a little overbusy, and seeing was comfortable but plain.

Food was ok but too expensive. We had a hamburger, chicken pot pie, one side salad, and one coffee. With the tip it was over $70. Service was great though.

visited for their "steak fest" - food was great and service was impeccable. will visit again!

Not only do they have by far the best burgers, enjoyed the fantastic annual steak fest.

My fiance and I went for dinner. And we left really disappointed, We expected the food to be better. It was fine 6 out of 10. It is not bad . The Burger was fine . Not as good as we read in the reviews. I think they can improve. The service started good but they didn't attend us. We wanted to order dessert but nobody came to check if we wanted something else. The service is not good enough. The price doesn't match with the food in my opinion.

Attended their steak fest this year and we could not be any happier with the quality of the steak and the cook to perfection. We did the find the appetizers to be a little underwhelming especially the Patata’s. The service was great ! But it did feel really cramped in the dining area. Would say the steak (strip loin) and the dessert (bread pudding) were fantastic.

Food was pretty mediocre and the service was bad. After our food was delivered the waitress never came back again to ask if we wanted dessert or even to take our empty plate away and give us the bill. Had to go to the front to pay after waiting about 20 minutes and no one coming by. I previously heard good things about this place but was throughly disappointed.
