    If 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 !

    Authentic 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!

    Duck 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.

    Try 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!

    There'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.

    Sausage 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.

    Great 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.

    Bison sausage is really original and tasty. The whole place and food really reminds me of Berlin. Good work!

    Did you say sausage and beer? Great selection of both. Fabulous duck fat fries too! A MUST go to place in Toronto.

    Sausage 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

    Don’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

    The 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.

    great 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.

    Sit 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!

    Wild 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.

    I 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!

    Nice vegetarian selection with gluten free vegetarian options (all meat sausages are gluten free), but no gluten free bun. :/ Duck fat fries mmm

    Their game sausages are definitely worth trying it, and get it on a regular toasted bun. The country bread in currywvrst is really small.

    Duck 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.

    Just 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

    The 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.

    Great selection of beer but the food isn't too great. Overcooked and over salted duck fat fries and super fatty hot dog.

    If you're South African, don't order the Boerewors-it's not authentic. But the beer and the vibe is fantastic!

    Duck 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
