Gale's Snack Bar — Restaurant in Toronto

5/5 Stars - A Legendary Snack Bar Experience! I just devoured the most iconic snack bar feast at Gales Snack Bar in Toronto, and I'm still reeling from the flavor explosion! This hidden gem has earned a permanent spot on my Toronto food bucket list.

The Main Event: Chicken Club House Sandwich: Juicy, crispy, and indulgent. The perfectly toasted bun held together a symphony of flavors - tender chicken, crispy bacon, creamy mayo, and crunchy lettuce. Cheese Hamburger: A classic done right! The patty was cooked to perfection, with a beautiful sear and a generous slice of melted cheese. Each bite was a masterclass in simplicity. Fries: Crunchy, golden, and addictive. I couldn't get enough of that salty goodness.

The Undercard: Chicken Salad Sandwich: A refreshing surprise! The chicken was tender and mixed with just the right amount of herbs and spices, all on soft, fresh bread.

The Showstopper: Milkshake: Thick, creamy, and utterly decadent. I opted for classic vanilla, and it paired perfectly with the savory goodness that came before.

The Verdict: Gales Snack Bar is a Toronto institution for a reason. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the quality is top-notch. Whether you're a local or just visiting, do yourself a favor and stop by for a truly unforgettable snack bar experience.

Will I Be Back? Absolutely, and with friends in tow! Get ready, Gales - I'll be back for another round (or three) of that incredible Chicken Club House Sandwich.

A burger and fries will set you back four bucks - they come piping hot and are solid. The battered fish had a strange flavour in there - the three pieces looked plump and yummy but the batter was thick, encasing not very much fish. Her hamburger plate apparently comes with gravy, will report back on that, and the cold sandwiches. I am deeply nostalgic for these prices and the untouched space, which could be existing in the '40s. The food is ample and nutritious; the philosophy seems to be simple, hearty and cheap enough for...

Knowing this is a mom and pop shop, the expectation should be delicious food.

There was no disappointment here.

The office is 2 blocks away and I plan to come by more often.

I've ordered a fish and chips as this is my first time here. The order was great as the batter was crispy and the fish was thick and no dry. It was very juicy still upon cutting it open.

The owners are hard working people and I was lucky to find a time around noon such that there were no lineups. I heard the place can get really busy so I recommend calling before going .

I'd love to try other items on the menus and the prices have changed from photos online . Regardless, no complaints because the quality exceeds the price charged.. I was more than happy to provide a very...
