Michael NiduazaAugust 7, 2014If you need a venue for a birthday dinner then come here. They take reservations. Try and get the corner booth. Great food, great beer, great vibe all around ! Any sausage with duck fat fries !
Zahid IslamAugust 27, 2016Authentic German wurst and sausages. Every kind of sausage you can imagine from rabbit, kangaroo, pork, veal, etc. And yes the beer is amazing, though a bit pricy. The duck fat fried fries is a must!
Gabriel SeahNovember 3, 2020Duck fat fries fantastic. Animal fat gave superior flavour; big portion too. Thick cut & crispy enough (like British chips, but bite from duck fat made up for it). Garlic chive sauce was delicious.
ChristineMarch 14, 2013Try the mini danger dog wrapped in bacon (only $4!) and duck fat fries with chive and garlic sauce. Perfect place for large groups with picnic style seating. They've even got kangaroo on the menu!- Gabriel SeahNovember 3, 2020There're more types of sausages here than you can shake a stick at. In the category of game alone you get exotic choices like venison, bison, wild boar, rabbit, kangaroo, elk & guinea hen.
Pat WestonOctober 1, 2017Sausage in a myriad different styles, seasonings and toppings. Duck fat, regular or currywurst fries w lots of dipping sauce choices. Kill your thirst 20 taps of rotating craft beers & ciders.
Stella ZeeNovember 30, 2016Great if you love sausage. Went with a few friends and we were satisfied. They even have vegetarian options! Kind of overpriced if you compare it to street meat though haha the kranjska is my fav.
Aleksandra SzumskaJanuary 25, 2019Bison sausage is really original and tasty. The whole place and food really reminds me of Berlin. Good work!
Big Dave KJune 27, 2015Did you say sausage and beer? Great selection of both. Fabulous duck fat fries too! A MUST go to place in Toronto.
Neel HajareMay 20Sausage sampler platter and side of duck fat fries (with the dill mayo sauce) was enough food for 2. Kangaroo sausage was interesting, but not a must-get. Wide beer selection with a few standout taps
Irena PierovaDecember 30, 2018Don’t care about duck fat fry, but all ordered sausages were really really good (l’m an eastern-europe-girl). Try your sausage in currywurst style: tomato curry sause gives very interesting kick to it
HinaFebruary 22, 2016The ambiance is great, and the selection of meats is kind of extraordinary. However, it gets pretty busy on the weekends and they restrict entry if the place is full. Call ahead to ask how busy it is.- Jamie SarnerJune 28, 2016No matter what else you order, go for the duck fa fries with it! Ranked 4 in Best TO restaurants for a quick bite: http://jamiesarner.com/toronto-life/2016/06/downtown-toronto-restaurants-quick-bite/
- Aleksandra SzumskaJanuary 23, 2019Great bison wurst! A variety of meat, bears and great ambience! It truly reminds me of Berlin.
Kevin RickertAugust 16, 2016One of my favorite sausage places in North America. Interesting game sausages, venison, bison, kangaroo...Communal Tables, Nice Craft Beer Selection, Good Location.
yvonnnneeeeOctober 14, 2015great ambience and amazing selection of beer. (if youre unsure which one to get you can ask for samples) the dirty duck fat fries are sinful and can fill up four people.
Always great service here. Such great people behind the counter. I always get great food and beer recommendations. I tend to visit every trip to Toronto.
Salomon ZFebruary 18, 2015Sit yourself then order at the cash. Order the large fries to share even the small fries would be good as portion are generous. As for the hot dog there's some interesting choices.
Monday night $5 Ontario craft beers! The guinea fowl is my fave - the cheddar in it melts just a little and is perfect. Jalapeños are great toppings, but they're fresh, so pretty spicy!
Marianaa WorrallAugust 9, 2018Love the beer and the atmosphere. Options for sausages are great!! And beer is pretty amazing too. Good to go out with friends.
MeenahApril 23, 2016Great ambiance with communal seating so you can mingle with other guests. Good selection of beers and sausages. Good for celebrating with a group
BaharinaaaDecember 6, 2015Too busy but aslo cool, fries are incredibly delicious! They have a large list of beers❤️
CristinaAugust 19, 2013Love the community-style tables and atmosphere. Takes me back to Germany. the Elk with sauerkraut is amazing
Major BaileyOctober 25, 2013Holy crap! The best place ever! Makers Mark on tap! Grant is the best! Thank you for making two Miami residents feel really great and happy. I will fly back for this!- Gabriel SeahNovember 3, 2020Wild Boar sausage: tea gave unusual flavour that worked. It wasn't too gamey either. It came with a bun which was a toasted mini baguette, not your normal hot dog bun.
- CristinaAugust 19, 2013Ive been to Germany and this place is legit. Best currywurst in the city. Get the traditional bratwurst
Huge selection of sausages including 4 veggie style which are fantastic curry wurst style get the double portion the best value because doubles are the best!
mahsaDecember 27, 2016I love it.. duck fat fries, bear selection, sausage selection... you should be experienced here to get a good combination😄😄
Kelvin LeeJuly 27, 2013This place is a gem. Great environment, amazing service and food! Duck fat fries are awesome, and so is the bison blueberry maple sausage.
Chris RobertsAugust 4, 2015I got the Kaas on a bun. It was great but I tried the traditional (Oktoberfest w/ Currywvst) and it was better. Get the duck fat fries 🍟 dirty style!
Sarah ChiuJune 16, 2012Got venison with sweet sautéed onions and jalapeños + duck fat fries. Added some Dijon to the sausage and it was delish! Definitely coming back to try them all :)
Fantastic beer selection. Grab a Paulaner 🍺 and Octoberfest sausage — don't forget the duck fat fries. To die for.
Mazen BaradhyApril 20, 2015Tons of sausage choices in a friendly atmosphere with communal tables. Get the duck fat fries with your Wurst.
ᴡ LagascaSeptember 12, 2014Nice vegetarian selection with gluten free vegetarian options (all meat sausages are gluten free), but no gluten free bun. :/ Duck fat fries mmm- JessicaMarch 24, 2015Their game sausages are definitely worth trying it, and get it on a regular toasted bun. The country bread in currywvrst is really small.
Patricia MichalskiAugust 13, 2012Duck fat fries are a must! And no, they don't taste like duck or resemble anything to do with duck. Just absolutely delicious, especially with the chive dip!- Be a man or a hearty woman and get a masse of beer. It's like drinking and going to the gym, just remember to switch drinking hands every so often.
Yuri VictorJune 16, 2013The chorizo sausage with jalapeños will erase your childhood. Jesus will come down from heaven and wipe the sweat from your brow. Then your face melts off.
Justine KilbyAugust 4, 2015Love this place for awesome sausages and mugs of beer with friends. Great for large group reservations
Beautiful idea, wonderfully executed! Delicious food, great selection of beer, awesome ciders! 😍😋- Kevin RickertJuly 18, 2015WVRST gives us two important food groups. Beer & Sausage. If you want some fries, do that as well. Duck Fat. Yes.
Metro NewsJuly 7, 2011Just like any good sausage hall, it's crazy loud fun in here. Choose your style, choose your sausage, choose your booze and treat yourself. Golden crisp Duck Fat Fries are a must. Read more
Ryan BannonJanuary 9, 2014The service is slow, it's expensive, the beer pours are chintzy and I still can't get enough of the delicious sausages these crazy krauts keep concocting.
Amy WhitneyAugust 5, 2016Great selection of beer but the food isn't too great. Overcooked and over salted duck fat fries and super fatty hot dog.
James BellNovember 4, 2012Great sausages, interesting selection of beers including Bellwoods and Kensington, awesome fries. Boisterous crowd, great for a party!- Adam NowekAugust 8, 2015Outstanding beer selection both on draught and by the bottle. A bit loud on the weekends.
Annalie KillianJanuary 4, 2014If you're South African, don't order the Boerewors-it's not authentic. But the beer and the vibe is fantastic!
Pat NgNovember 3, 2013Duck fat fries were underwhelming - not as crispy as i expected although the wvrst sauce was delish. Bison sausage & beer selection were great - just not sure if they were worth the pretty hefty price
