Brock Sandwich

I’ve lived in the neighbourhood for years and when I’m looking for a treat, Brock Sandwich is the best of the neighbourhood. When I first went, I thought the owner was slightly surly, but then one time my dad and I were eating there and someone was served the wrong sandwich, so the owner asked if we wanted it and i realized he has a heart of gold, and it comes through in the sandwiches (and fries!!) The pulled Jackfruit is so flavourful, and only slightly better veggie option to the fennel.
Also, the burger and fries are the best I can remember ever having. Where is there a better burger? Tell me! you probably can’t.

Just go here and order every sandwich. You will not be disappointed!

Delicious sandwiches. Shrimp po boy is my go-​to option. Owner is a no-​nonsense super friendly dude.

Best calamari that almost had a pork belly consistency. The po’ boy was amazing: the bun was perfectly toasted, the tomatillo inspired and the shrimp was so juicy and well seasoned. The mother in law shared a bite of her crispy chicken which blew my mind and the hubby shared his prosciutto sandwich that was simple and delicious. Will be making this a regular stop.

I came there for their vegan BBQ sandwich which made of jack fruits. It was amazing. The taste of jack fruits was really like meat especially adding their flavourful bbq sauce. The sandwich was juicy and in a good portion. I almost ate it all at lunch time because I spent some time riding bicycle from downtown to there. I found that some Unilocalers also recommended pulled pork and cheese burger. I want to come back and try them asap but the place was just a little far away from my home.

Yo this place is no joke… Chicken sandwich… yo son that shit is crazzzzy off the hook

A friend moved into the neighbourhood and after a very sweaty day of moving we decided to explore the area and grab a bite to eat. This place struck a chord with us and I was accompanied by four stinky boys and they just wanted something really hearty to eat. Although I didn’t end up getting any of the sandwiches, (I ordered the poutine) I did get the chance to take a nibble out of all of their orders. The group had ordered a Poy Boy sandwich and a Pulled Pork sandwich.
The Poy Boy was oh so good. The seafood, especially the calamari was incredibly tender and flavourful and the pulled pork was large, juicy and delicious. My order of the poutine was also very good and the gravy used was something I was no accustomed too. The definitely made it themselves but the flavour was a little more tangy than most traditional gravies. I enjoyed it and really liked the taste of it as did my fellow friends.
The food is made to order so it does take a little while for preparation, which I am okay with especially if the food is as good as it is. I will definitely be coming back here again. I believe they change their daily menu consistently!

We stopped in for a sandwich one day and were so amazed at how good it was we had returned three days in a row. The sandwiches are well thought through providing a delicious experience.
The Menu:
The pulled pork sandwich is very unique, big mouthfuls of high quality pork, tender and juicy, with only a light coating of a honey mustard bbq sauce.
The seafood po boy was our favourite, sweet firm shrimp just barely cooked, and some tender calamari, both dusted with paprika. Lots of fragrant cilantro, crunchy coleslaw and a beautiful sweet pepper relish added in light amounts, drizzled with avocado sauce.
The prosciutto sandwich had fresh creamy buffalo cheese, arugla, roasted sweet peppers and drizzled with olive oil. This pairs beautifully with their lemongrass soda.
In each instance the bread for the sandwiches is paired nicely, the texture holding up to the contents without overwhelming the flavour of the fillings.
Fries: We must admit we are not fans of the fries as a matter of personal taste. They’re cooked well and a good quality of potato is used, but they are heavily seasoned and too salty for our palates.
The Spot:
It’s located on Bloor street amongst a bunch of other little shops and coffee shops. Like all the food options in this area, expect very limited seating. There are two small tables and then a counter with a few seats. Take out is a good option, or eat there and make room for someone else to sit down — definitely not a place you can politely linger while chatting away with friends unless it’s during their slower hours.
The Service:
Everything is made fresh to order so if you show up too soon after opening some things may not be ready — like sauces for the po boy for example. They are always eager to provide sincere and thoughtful suggestions and seem to be really invested in people taking pleasure in their food. The staff is always friendly, and food usually takes about 10 minutes to prepare.

Another must try, the Fennel sandwich. Yes you heard me right… No meat! The fennel is juicy and lightly battered and fried. It’s topped with a delicious homemade tomato sauce and ‘ricotta cheese’ (which is actually made from cashews to make this a completely vegan sandwich). I normally don’t order veg when there are meat options but I absolutely love this sandwich!

Sandwich shops are a dime a dozen. I stopped in here by chance after dropping my bike off at Sweet Pete’s down the street. Quick, friendly and tidy service. Their chicken sandwich was at the top of the menu on the wall and is probably good, but the texas brisket special caught my eye. I was pretty much in heaven. This is after I chanced it by keeping it in the bag while walking for a solid 20 – 30 minutes on a warm summer day. I expected soggy, especially with the onions and was pleasantly surprised at a sandwich that not only wasn’t drenched in oil, but may have even tasted better. Can’t wait to go back to try another!

Just found this place recently and I absolutely love it. The smoked ham is phenomenal.
Can’t wait to work my way through the rest of the menu.

This is the first time I’ve been back since last summer. I had a seasonal lobster roll last year than tasted off to me and so I stopped coming in regularly. However I was hungry and right by the restaurant today so I decided I’d give it another shot. I had the Chile Steak special. The steak was cooked well and as always they have the right amount of filling to bun ratio. Every time I have come here I’ve taken it home and have been delighted to not have a soggy bun by the time I get there! I think it’s a tad overpriced but you pay for good quality ingredients. Overall I’d say I’m glad I have it another shot and I’d probably come back.
In the past I’ve tried many sandwiches from here, the best on the menu is the chicken. Juicy and delicious chicken thigh! The seafood poboy and vegan sandwich are also really good. I’d pass on the burger and fries, or poutine which are only okay.

The sandwiches here are amazing. They have a few core sandwiches they always make, and then a few specials that change with some frequency. If you haven’t been before get the Piri Piri Chicken. It’s probably the best thing on the menu? The place is very small. It’s probably best for take out, but there is a bit of room to dine in if you are in a pinch.

I toured canada the past summer !
This place has the BEST brisket sandwich you will ever come across your entire life .
As I told the man who asked me how was it: I said sir: your sandwich has descended from heaven, it was divine .
That brisket sandwich is second to none. This is coming from a guy who samples brisket sandwiches a cross North America and try to find the best !
I sometimes contemplate the Idea of flying to Toronto from south Florida, just to go to that place !

Wow. Amazing sandwich !
I was a little sticker shocked. It’s not often that I’ll pay $ 11 for a sandwich. But I went on a recommendation… And now I want to recommend this FIST of old fashioned GOODNESS to everyone I know!
Delicious!!!
Coming back for lunch tomorrow!
Ps. Cappuccino was perfect also.

Open since 2013, I was surprise that Brock Sandwich (@BrockSandwich) was never on my «list» before, I only decided to go when I saw a picture of their sandwich on Instagram a few weeks ago.
The place is rather small, more of a take out counter since they have less than 10 seats.
You order at the counter, take a seat & food will be bought over when ready. Love the casual friendliness here, they checked on us twice to make sure we are enjoying our meal.
Soup of the day $ 6
~ We order the large size and we were immediately offer to split into 2 bowl for us.
~ This was a vegan vegetable and chic pea soups and it was so delicious that I can’t believe there’s not the slightest bit of meat in it.
Brisket Sandwich
~ This wasn’t on the menu, we originally wanted to order the porchetta but we were quickly told that the brisket was just done so we switch without hesitation. ~ Love Love Love it!!!
~ It had just the right amount of fatty and it was also perfectly moist. Delicious!
~ Also love how the bun hold up to all the meat and the saucy caramelized onions.
Vegan BBQ Smoked Jack Fruit Sandwich $ 10
~ Pulled Jack Fruit with Vegan Coleslaw, BBQ Sauce
~ OMG!!! Still can’t believe it’s not meat. When it first came, I almost thought they gave us the wrong order, definitely look like pulled pork to me.
~ Only at my second bite that I felt/​tasted the difference in the texture and taste.
~ I feel like the BBQ sauce help in the illusion and the secrets was the canned green jackfruit that they get from Asian groceries.
Verdict:
~ Love
~ Affordable and Friendly
~ Will have to come back to try their other sandwich especially the Fried Chicken and the burger.

This place makes my favourite chicken sandwich. Soft bun, chicken that is crisp, fresh, with just a hint of heat, topped with crunchy lettuce and sweet grilled onions. I literally walked an hour and a half with my girlfriend to get here and it was worth it!
My girlfriend had a sausage patty sandwich, with fried egg and roasted tomato in too. Had a bit of a breakfast feel, much milder than the chicken sandwich also delicious. I took a bite and burned my tongue, which is my own fault for being impatient (or is it the sandwich shop’s fault for making such great food? … No, it’s clearly my bad).
The service is also really gracious. Guy at the front counter (I think he is also one of the chefs) was happy to tell us about the items and let me sample the spicy relish. It was quite good — not so spivey as «spice full»; I bought a jar and will use it on eggs or when I cook chicken at home.
The place is small with not much seating so I recommend getting there early or late for whatever meal you want. But try the chicken sandwich.

Portion size ⁵⁄₅ perfect for a sandwich craving
Price ³⁄₅ good for the size and quality but still seems pricey for just a sandwich.
Flavor 2.5÷5 not as good as they look. The prosciutto was pretty boring and the crispy chicken wasn’t worth $ 10. I also think it might be dark meat and not breast.
Something missing maybe sauce or spice.
I’d rather buy that from Popeye’s for half the price. I really just wanted pastrami but they were sold out.
Another person said this about the place but it fits perfectly. «Meh».

Rare is a place that elevates the humble sandwich to gourmet levels. Brock sandwich is that place, with meticulously crafted sandwiches using French techniques, high quality ingredients and a focus on amazing flavour.
Some could argue the prices are higher than relative options at subway, but the comparison is faulty, these sandwiches are in a totally different league worthy of the price and wait.
Menu evolves often, try their specials but the fried chicken is always a safe bet.

Everyone loved their sandwiches today!
We ordered a lil bit of everything. The Brisket, the Fennel, Shrimp & Squid Po boy, and the chicken piri piri and a few of the beet salads that were very fresh and delish. They were super nice and patient on the phone when I called to order.
The chicken was amazing but it can get soggy fast! I wish it were a bit spicier but it was delish! The Fennel was called ‘the best sandwich I ever ate’ so they don’t half ass their vegan sandwiches!
A+ establishment.
