Cagneys Steakhouse & Wine Bar

i liked it, didn’t love it. have eaten at the now defunct guelph location as well. actually one of the wife’s and mine first dates was at Cagneys in Guelph.
ribs were decent, sort of the boiled and sauced type. didn’t seem like a lot of love went into the food overall, sort of reminiscent of The Keg-​style chain food
I’d put it on par with the Keg really, that’s my closest comparison IMO

I had such a wonderful night having my 30^th birthday at Cagney’s last night.
The food was good, not amazing… but what I had was good. We got a Caesar salad and calamari for our appetizers, which I enjoyed. For my main, I had steak and lobster and the lobster was HUGE! Lobster was a bit overcooked, but I still enjoyed it. Unfortunately my steak was overcooked, so I informed my server who had another steak made for me which was greatly appreciated… but then it was too rare when I got it back again. I didn’t want to send it back again and I was full anyway as I ate my lobster and veggies while I was waiting for my steak to be remade, so I just left it. I wanted my steak medium rare, I got it medium well the first time and rare the second time. I’m tired of trying all these expensive steak houses and they can’t cook it to my liking. The steak was also lacking a bit of flavour for me. So I’m going to stick to The Keg if I ever have a steak craving. Food…3/5
Service was on point! My server was AMAZING! Unfortunately, I can’t remember her name. We had an issue at the beginning as some ppl didn’t inform the server if they were ordering from the prefix menu they were offering for the Savour Mississauga week. I believe my group and the server were both at fault as the server should have asked if we were ordering off the prefix meal when taking our initial orders as the portion sizes are different when ordering the prefix meal. So our server stated that some of us could not get the prefix meal as the salad we got was a full appetizer salad, we asked to speak with a manager and our server spoke with the manager who stated it was ok and those who originally wanted the prefix can still do so even with the larger salad. Thank you! This is what great customer service is all about. Also, we got complimentary champagne which was greatly appreciated. My server was so pleasant and polite the whole night and apologized many times for my steak being cooked wrong. Service…5/5
Atmosphere was BEAUTIFUL! From the outside, you wouldn’t think the inside could be so beautiful. I loved the feel and décor of this place…5/5
Overall…aside from the little mishaps, I enjoyed my birthday and I do not regret having it at Cagney’s. Customer service absolutely goes a long way and I would probably still go back, probably just wouldn’t order a steak… possibly something else lol.
Thank you Cagney’s for allowing me to celebrate my 30^th birthday with my special ladies!

When you get to the parking lot you start to wonder about where you are going to eat. You open the door and are instantly taken by the great feeling atmosphere. The servers are great, knowledgeable and attentive. Drinks and appetizers were fabulous, the main courses were perfect portions and presented beautifully.
Great place for a date, social gathering, or just a night out.
Definitely a spot to go back to

I was responsible for organizing our company’s sales meeting dinner. I wanted to pick a place different than the usual Americana style restaurants that were situated near our hotel. My initial contact was with Alex the owner of the restaurant. Upon arrival we were greeted by Alex’s sister and she was very nice and welcoming. The place is classy with a very nice décor. Looks like a sexy restaurant Vanderpump style (SUR).
Derek and Jared were our waiters and their service was exceptional! On the ball service and very courteous. I’m glad I took the chance to bring our group here based on the great reviews I read on Unilocal. The overall presentation and quality of the food was definitely worth the money and we will be back here again real soon.

Beautiful ambience for an elegant lunch/​dinner. Food was fantastic and service was great.

The restaurant post-​renovations is beautiful! Everything is class — whether you’re sitting in the dining area or the lounge, where they sometimes have live jazz music playing. The steaks are delicious and priced in the range of what you’d expect for high-​end dining.
The only thing I’m not crazy about — is the location. It’s at the back of a not-​so-​appealing plaza, very misplaced for a restaurant of this stature.

Been meaning to try this place for a while, and I’ve heard good things from friends. However I didn’t leave with a good impressions, besides the renovations giving the restaurant a fresh and modern atmosphere.
My server only came by our table to clean our plates and order food, and the food was cold and lacking flavour.

I decided to have my birthday dinner at Cagney’s after the high overall ratings. This was my first time there so I only expected the best based off reviews. It was quite empty Sunday evening so one would assume the service would be top notch.
I didn’t expect the beautiful restaurant to be located in a random strip mall in Streetsville. Once you step inside the restaurant you forget that it’s even in a run down plaza. The interior of this restaurant is very exquisite and definitely fancy.
Everyone enjoyed their meals but we all just thought it was good. We expected to be wowed for the price the meals were. Service slowed down when our meals arrived. By the end the waitress wasn’t around so we all just punched in our bill amount and completed the transactions.
My friend had been there before who said the service was amazing. I guess we missed out on that part. It was okay for our first visit but I don’t think we’ll be back.

Once I entered the place, I loved the wallpaper colour, the fireplace with dark grey stones and to my left, a glass room of wines. On the counter, a vase with colourful real flowers which is a nice touch. To the right side, there is a very long bar and that area of the sitting is mostly in silver. We were seated in the dining area at a booth that faced a nice round table which I would love to come back with a group of friends.
Happy: Their renovations is quiet impressive and modernized. Classy and chic! I love it! The waitress was attentive to us and didn’t forget anything. We ordered ribs + fries and fish tacos + spring salad. For the appetizer, I got a cream of broccoli soup which was not too creamy and the colour of it was different to what I’m used to. It came with a slice of crusted bread with shredded parmesan cheese. The fish tacos were hard to eat as the fish strips were longer and bigger than the tacos themselves. I realized that I shouldn’t eat too much battered stuff, so at the end, I ate the fish separately, some without the batter. The salad was tasty and had a variety of items to pick from. The greens were fresh! The fries came in a bowl and it was hot. Not salted which is nice, since we like them with ketchup.
Not happy: It’s a bit pricey for lunch, but for a celebration, I don’t mind spending the money. So it’s not a restaurant I can afford everyday, but would to return to it for another celebration.
Verdict: Atmosphere is wonderful. Food was delicious. We were well taken care of. There’s no bread at the beginning which would have been nice. As I mentioned before, this place is good for a celebration and bringing a date too!

Great find on Unilocal.I was told this place has been here forever but newly decorated. All appetizers were good except for the fried squid was to salty. I had the crab legs and the were really good. Just the portion seems small compared to one pound in florida. But still acceptable.
Service acceptable only thing I kept asking for water and not brought automatic.

Atmosphere is really nice. Very upscale and relaxing. Food was a great experience. We had the mussels (amazing sauce. I mean amazing), double Cuban lobster tails, and rib-​eye bone-​in steak. Well presented and cooked just right, except for the steak. It’s probably more of the Chef’s style than anything else, but the steak was charred too much for my liking, and half the cut was medium rare and the other half was a full on medium. Still juicy and delicious either way. Service was friendly and not bad, but our server was the reason for the lost star. Almost spilled the decanter once, then knocked over the empty wine bottle. She kept rearranging my eating space and it was irritating. Manager was friendly and energetic. Wine selections are simply fantastic.
The cap of it all was the cheesecake. So light and awesomely delectable!
My only concern I saw was the seating for a large group… It’s placed down the centre isle of a section of two seater booths. I watched a party of ten arrive and stand around the tables all the while their backsides were in the faces of those at the booths. I’d certainly not want to sit there and eat such a delicious meal with someone’s bum right at my table side. That’s the other reason for the lost star. I had suggested to our server that the Manager go apologize to one specific patron who was clearly not impressed — and he didn’t go over, and they left not looking too thrilled. It’s a shame to possibly lose a customer over something that could be avoided, or at least rectified.
I’d come back and I’d bring people with me for a nice night out. (but not sit in the large group section haha) Well done!

I’ve now been here twice. Amazing service, the owner Alex is visible, approachable and a great guy. Amazing interior and a very upscale atmosphere. Had oysters both times … They get them directly from Rodney’s on King Street in TO. Don’t let the shopping plaza location fool you … This is a great find in Mississauga (Streetsville).

Fantastic food. Great service. Classy ambiance. Great for dinner with friends or a date. You can’t go wrong!

Probably one of the best Lamb Chops I’ve ever had. Made to perfection. The atmosphere of this place is gorgeous and the food matches.

I’ve been meaning to try Cagney’s for a while now and finally got to take my dad there today for Father’s Day.
Overall:
Food: ¹⁰⁄₁₀
Setting: ¹⁰⁄₁₀
Service: ⁶⁄₁₀
Here’s why:
I absolutely love the lighting and ambience of the restaurant. Everything from the dim purple lights to the comfortable booths to the tabletop candles made it look and feel classy.
My dad ordered the regular cut roast prime rib ($ 36) and I ordered the BBQ pork back ribs ($ 33). His came with vegetables and mashed potatoes; mine came with fries. Of the two, I definitely recommend the prime rib. It’s tender and seasoned to perfection. The vegetables top it off very well. As for the pork back ribs, I would’ve preferred some vegetables on the side. The servings for both were huge and neither of us finished our plates. Overall, the food was amazing – the prime rib was the best meat I’ve had at any restaurant I’ve been to.
However, the service was a little off. Once seated, we had to wait around 10 minutes for our waiter to come to our table to take our order, even though the restaurant was fairly empty. Immediately after saying our orders, he forgot them and asked us again. Along with our meals, we ordered the cactus lychee martini but even after we had finished half our meal, the drink hadn’t arrived. I asked the waiter about it and he seemed to have completely forgotten about that order and only went back to get us our drink when we had almost finished eating.

Ignore the fact that this gorgeous restaurant is situated in a crummy plaza, or the fact that the old bowling alleys sign still sits right above Cagney’s. The outside is no where near decent, but when you step inside Its like stepping into Narnia minus the mythical creatures.
I came into Cagney’s by pure accident. It was Christmas eve, and my cousins and I were driving from restaurant to bars, in search for anywhere that was opened. Long behold, Narnia. When we drove into the plaza we were immediately disappointed. The outside was warn, smack in the middle of a ghetto plaza with undistinguishable signs.
Walking in the place was impeccable, we were immediately welcomed at the door by an older gentleman in what looked like a suit that a butler would wear, maybe I dreamt that because I came in sweats and a plain tee. I was way underdressed, but just as we were coming to this realization a lady came and walked us pass a lovely wine cellar into a picture perfect dining room with chic chandeliers and royal dining chairs.
Cagney’s will not disappoint you on a date. After a few minutes of settling in, our waitress came over and pulled our napkins and place it on our legs. Okay, now is when I felt way out of place. So much so, I embarrassingly apologized to the waitress, and let her know our situation and decided we would save Narnia for another day. We checked out of there embarrassed, but I am so glad I found such a gem. Perhaps it was fate because I know that I will definitely be back!

Cagney’s has been in the Streetsville community for 40 years from what I’m told but have you been in recently? Well you should! This is no longer your fathers bar/​restaurant, heck it’s not even your grandfathers restaurant anymore! After an intense overhaul and remod it’s now a sexy, beautiful, and modern spot that’s ready to accept dinner, drinks, dates, and everything in between!
I was in this week on Wednesday and sat at the bar to enjoy a drink and some lunch along with making use of their free WiFi and multiple outlets (USB/​power split) along the bar for folks like me looking for a HUB to do work or hang out during the day.
I’d heard that they were doing craft cocktails and doing them right so without question I figured — «it’s 5 o’clock somewhere» and ordered my go to cocktail, the Old Fashioned.
Tickle me surprised, and other local spots take note — Cagney’s is THE ONLY spot doing these RIGHT. Many try to make an OF but so many fail… most in fact! The Cagney’s OF, uses earl grey simple syrup, and I believe Jim Beam Bourbon with Orange bitters — the aromatics of orange coming off of the drink were fruity and wonderful. Plus points for making use of a proper large block ice as opposed to chipped or crushed ice. Excellent balance between alcohol and sweetness. Perhaps just slightly heavier on the sweetness.
To eat, I had the chicken club sandwich on the reccomendation of my server. She sold me when she told me it was made with double smoked bacon! It’s a huge serving of chicken breast, topped with a delicious ailoli, and that DS bacon all pressed together and toasted to perfection. Easily the best chicken club I’ve EVERY had.
I was warned by my server that The side Caesar salad would be the best I’ve had and it too was incredible. Fresh dressing, not from a bottle, a generous helping of Parmigiano flakes and croutons and a nice slice of crispy pancetta/​bacon on top! Definitely a top contender for first place!
Amazing overall, and I cannot wait to return to try out more of their menu — there are some good things cooking in Streetsville (an area to watch).
Eatcrest Out!

Like some others have already said, this is one hidden gem. Their staffs are friendly, décor are very modern and pleasant.
While their dishes do come with a hefty price tag, but they taste wonderful and VERY generous portion. Yes, their salads are big, so keep that in mind when ordering. Their steak are done to perfection, rack of lamb tasted fresh and seasoned perfectly, and fish… I asked for pink-​in-​the-​middle salmon, and it was done.
They only had two dessert choices this night: flourless chocolate cake and house cheesecake. We hate it so much that we fought over who will get rid of them last… I mean hate the sight of any of it left, that is… well we DID have a small chunk of the chocolate cake left ONLY because we were just so full.
We’d definitely come back and try other stuff.

Gord and I had brunch today at Cagney’s. It’s located in a strip mall on the main street so there is lots of free parking.
We got there right at 11am just as they were opening.
It was renovated late last year (we’d never been before) and is really nice inside. There are lots of different seating areas, depending on what you are looking for.
From where we sat, I could see the wine room (it’s just beyond the entrance) … that’s a room I wouldn’t mind being locked in!
Our server was Roshan and he took excellent care of us! He was very friendly and helpful.
Roshan started us off with a bottle of mineral water and banana bread. I love banana bread!
Gord and I ordered Mimosas. Yum!
I ordered Johnny’s Breakfast (named after the chef). It was delicious! I saved the big bowl of fruit (strawberries, blueberries and melons) ’til the end and it was a nice way to finish. It was a lot of food and I shared some with Gord. Needless to say, I had to say «no thanks» when Roshan suggested dessert.
Gord ordered the Classic Eggs Benedict. He doesn’t have it very often and really enjoyed it.
I took a look at the supper menu and it includes hamburgers, chicken, lamb, ribs, seafood, pasta, etc. Given the fact they have a wine room, I bet it would be a nice place to have a glass or two.
If you are in the Streetsville area, I’d suggest you check it out.

I have been to this place quite a few time with work colleagues as big groups. Let talk about the place first as its very different than lot of restaurants I have been to. This place is a hidden gem and is hiding in one of the plazas in Streetsville.
The service was fantastic as they served us (20+) fast, nicely, friendly. The orders were taken accurately and all the food came out together and was cooked well and was warm at the same time. The two servers were great and they did separate billing as well. The food was delicious and I didn’t hear any complains from my fellow colleagues.
Last thing I hear was they were renovating and I would love to check it out soon again.
