Corned Beef House

Terrible service = lost customers

This is review is based on service, the -why- will be apparent soon enough. My buddy and I had a groupon for $15 for $30 worth of food. This place was recommended to us by others so we gave it a shot and here is the following of what happened: -----------------------------Script---------------------------- Scene: busy lunch at Corned Beef House Enter two buddies "Hey, seat yourself wherever you can" says a server Two buddies sit down at a table. Server hands us menus. Buddies review and choose. Server then arrives to ask for drink and menu order. Buddy one: "Hey I have a groupon..." Server: "Yeah, we can handle that afterwards I just need your order right now as it is busy." Buddy one: "uh, ok. Roast beef brisket platter" (continues to iron out exactly...i.e. Dijon, rye, fries...) Server: "You?" points at Buddy Two with pen. Buddy two: "Montreal Smoked Meat." The server then hurries to the kitchen to order. 2 minutes goes by and water is received. another 18 minutes goes by without communication from the server as she is serving many tables, notably 2 customers that came in after them got served. Buddy One: "Excuse me." Server: "Yes?" Buddy One: "I'm just wondering how much longer for our food?" Server: "You aren't the only one's here...It's really really busy. There's no way to hurry up the kitchen. I'm sorry." Server walks off. Buddies then look at each other dumbfounded and decide to leave. -----------------------------End Script---------------------------- We then attempted to talk to a manager and he did not seem to care about our communication problem. Our appetites were squashed and ended up leaving. TL;DR we had horrible service and ended up leaving. We talked to a manager who seemed to not care at all. If you don't care about your customers, these customers will not care about your establishment.

THIS IS A PLACE FOR PEOPLE WHO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT REAL DELI!

This place sells the same branded smoked meat products that are available at dozens of other restaurants is the city. The pricing is insane... The portions are mediocre.. Tip: Go to your local Rabba and buy sliced Corned Beef, Roast Beef or Pastrami for a for a fraction of the price--and similar quality!!!!!! Make your own sandwich..it's easy!

I go here a couple times a month, at off-peak times. Food is top quality and service is fast and friendly. It usually takes an hour to eat my usual order. Recommended.

Best lunch ever

Met a friend at the corned beef house and I must say that was the best lunch and bang for your buck I have ever had. started with the club sandwich which was made with real chicken and real bacon, lightly toasted and served with fries, best club I've had in ages. My buddy Ron had the COLLOSAL Corned Beef sandwich which I must admit is the biggest sandwich in Toronto, weighing in at 1 pound. We shared the homemade apple pie with french vanila ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.....spectacular. And finally to cap it off we had an espresso each that was excellent.

best reuben in toronto

I read the "best sandwiches in Toronto" article in Now magazine and the Corned Beef House was voted in as best Reuben sandwich in the city. We all had Reubens and the baked fries, the wait was long but the line up went out the door so well worth it. We will return, but I think next time maybe we'll go on an off hour and not at there peak time.
