McSorley's Wonderful Saloon & Grill — Restaurant in Toronto

Tldr: A family friendly spot with a large beer selection, decent food, a few arcade games and endless TVs worth the visit.

The full read:

My partner and I have been looking for a new nacho spot in the area for a bit now (we go somewhere for beer and nachos at least once a month), and I think we found it.

Picture is their base, small sized nachos (sans olives). Size is definitely on point for the price ($15). Cheese and toppings were well distributed, I just wish it came with more salsa and sour cream.

We also decided to split a rack of ribs. Nothing exactly spectacular rib wise in terms of flavour, but they were well sauced and they were wonderfully fall off the bone. That's not saying they were bad, just tasted like a generic sauce. The fries that came with were well cooked and not overly salted. The price was also great, running in at $22 for the rack.

The staff were very attentive, always checking in to make sure we had napkins, enough plate room to keep eating and waters topped up.

Tvs line the walls. I don't think there's a seat in the house that doesn't have a view of more than 2 tvs, a great spot to catch a game, a beer and all the great moments. They've also got a few old arcade games towards the kitchen, which was a nice touch. Beer on tap selection was also great, though my blue moon could have used a larger orange wedge, but now I'm just nit picking.

In the end we went home full, satisfied and with leftovers and money still in our pockets for gelato up the street. We will...

Noisy, not fresh food

I see, as per your response below, everyone can see how polite and nice you respect your customers. Thanks for reading my previous reviews and good job for buying credibility for yourself. Every restaurant, cafe, bar, ... should do the best service for their customers it doesn't matter if they order a glass of water or steak. It is all about respect!! It was very noisy because you did not have separate sections and it is your job to make sure families, couples or single customers can enjoy the atmosphere while they are there at the same time. We checked Blogto.ca and saw your promotion on Fridays for beer, so why you are buying credit for yourself again?!! It was promotion for everyone not just us! I ordered what I would like to eat and it is your job to have all your materials fresh, I may not like to order what you have fresh!! (It was the reason of speaking to you/your staff, if the food was good initially we wouldn't spend our time talking with your staff!!) You took off one of the dishes as you saw the quality, so again do not buy credit for yourself. We hadn't eat the food that's why you took it off. Lastly, I recommend you to understand what ever you have now it is because of your customers, so keep them happy. I will never ever come back to your restaurant not because of the food quality or noise, only because of your attitude in...

Had the pleasure of dining at McSorley's tonight for the first time, and came away completely blown away by the food. The pasta they had on special today-- a pesto alfredo w/ peppers and sausage-- was a perfectly cooked and decadent flavour-bomb. Incredible marriage of flavours, flawlessly executed. The pork ribs were completely fall-off-the-bone tender, perfectly cooked and so deeply flavourful. The chicken schnitzel was absolutely top-notch; perfectly juicy inside, with a lovely thin crust that's been seasoned impeccably. Perfect. The wings were incredible as well, and really unique in how they serve the entire "wing", but also in how they cook them, char-grilling them, adding a very homey quality to them which I really appreciate. Had the dry cajun and their classic hot, both incredible (the garlic ranch dip is to die for!). Draft beers were also perfect, and service too- very friendly and attentive. Oh, and not to mention I really love the vibe inside- "OG" spots like this are a dying breed these days as lacklustre corporate chains spread like a plague- it's so important we support spots like this and keep them around for a long time to come. We were a particularly hungry group of three, so ordered big, each tasting a little of this and a little of that, and came away maximally stuffed and satisfied, super keen to revisit this gem of a spot in the very...
