Casey’s Bar & Grill

As one ca see from past activity I once was a regular here. Am rather upset that no one told me location was closing. Maybe staff didn’t know, but the owner should have told regulars.
Now I have no way of getting in touch with a couple of the staff, whom I considered friends. If we knew this was coming we would have exchanged contact information!
A pox on the owner of this location.

This was the first meal I had in Toronto and it was delicious. I ordered the Nacho Burger and would definitely get it again. Nice drink list and good food.
I would be careful at night, many not so safe street wanderers came in looking for water and asking to use the bathroom.

Good lord is this a dodgy area. First time in my life I have seen ladies of the evening at a Casey’s. LOLOL! This was the meeting spot for an office function. Next time, not so much. I wouldn’t return.

This is a pretty iconic restaurant on Dundas and Jarvis. And if you’re walking down either, you won’t miss it. I used to live around here and I tried it then. And now that I’ve moved back, it called for a second and a third visit!
The reason I went to Casey’s twice within the last few days was for their exceptionally tasty Baked Cheese, Spinach and Artichoke Dip. Sure, these chains do a great job at their cheesy dips, but Casey’s easily makes it to my top 10. I usually get a half and half order of warm naan bread and tortilla chips with it and it’s absolutely exquisite. Great shareable for 2! Must Try!
Margarita rating: ⁴⁄₅
I ordered myself a traditional Margarita both times I was here. The ones on the menu are fancy, so I made sure I communicated that I wanted the simpler stuff to the servers. And sure enough, the drink was the usual tequila, lime with a salted rim and yummy. The Margarita at Casey’s comes in a jar. Sometimes, I am glad when it doesn’t come in a fancy cocktail glass, as long as it is presented right. And this was. However, the opening of the jar was too tiny and the garnished lime was in the way. I didn’t feel classy doing this, but I had to remove the lime to enjoy the drink.
That was possibly the only bummer in my experience. I would totes come back here!

The staff here are fun, the cheese cake is incredible. The beer is, well its beer, which is good too.

Food was tasty and the menu was diverse. Location is very attractive if you are staying at the Hilton Garden inn~ same building. Good service and well-​poured drinks.
They had a $ 5 vodka drink special which is typically unusual~ so that was a bonus.
Two meals for dinner cost us $ 36; minus the vodka :)

My second time at this location. They seem to have climate control problem. First time I was here the air conditioning was not working on a hot summer day. This time in winter we had to keep our coats on because they were having heating issues. Wait it does not stop there. …
Casey s is a chain that has not bad food and the menu and portions r usually consistent regardless of which location you visit, but this one really skimps on portion size and they over cooked the chicken and undercooked everything else.
Our waiter Paul did notice my date’s disappointment with the chicken he got the cook to prepare another without us directly saying we were unhappy. That was what made this review 3 and not a 1. Oh, the other waiter in the other section had a customer who ordered same dish and also had a problem with portion size. The waiters at this place is the only redeeming quality

This place is attached to my hotel and there’s nothing else around (unless you think Tim Horton’s counts. I can’t see that sign without feeling like I need to stop to pee on the New Jersey Turnpike. I digress.) OK– so low expectations but it was good. Beef tenderloin salad was nice albeit a little garlic laden. Wine selection decent for a bar and grill. Service terrific. I would eat there again but I might not stay this far off the beaten path again.

Was wandering around downtown Toronto trying to find somewhere to eat. Went in here, and we were seated fairly quickly. Our waitress was very attentive, and brought us our drinks and food quickly. She had suggestions of what drinks and food she thought was good and she was spot on. I got the bison burger that had apple pieces, apple bbq sauce, and Brie. The burger was delectable, I would easily order it again. I left here full and satisfied. I would easily come back here for just a nice sit down place to get good food.

Went there to meet up with some buddies for patio drinks and food. The patio isn’t the biggest but is still pretty nice. Ordered a thai salad but it took a long time to come out. However the salad was delicious with a good assortment of ingredients. would definitely recommend this place and will be back for sure!

Fantastic Jambalaya, great poutine. very well priced. Overall a great place to go for a family dinner.

I’m wondering if this is just how Toronto sports bars like their veggie burgers: with a greasy egg bun. Definitely not my favourite bun style. The burger itself was fine, and I liked the fried vegetables that topped the burger. Even if the whole thing was kind of a mess. The service was a little slow, but I was probably the only one who thought so. Everyone else was working on giant pints of beer with their lunch. The server took my complaint/​observation about the bun, and said customers picked it over some other bun options, so I was definitely in the minority. (They actually feature the bun style prominently in their menu.)
A couple days later I’m back for dinner, this time I order the vegetable pad thai. Service is quick and friendly and the pad thai is great. It’s mostly carrots and rice noodles, with some tofu cubes and other vegetables. The trio of mini cheesecakes looks like an awesome dessert as I see someone walking it past, but I select the Apple Mary, which is kind of an apple crisp: baked apples with oatmeal, brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla ice cream. I opted out of the ice cream, and I imagine it would have added a certain something. The dessert seemed freshly baked and warm, and it might have served two if you added ice cream to it.

This location never lets me down. I decided to try the Bison Burger with Brie, fried apples, onions, lettuce & apple beer BBQ sauce and fresh cut fries. The fries are certainly better than average. …but the Bison Burger was excellent. Creative toppings to boot on many of their burgers. Easily the best burger I’ve had at a chain in Canada. In Utah… Squatters Roadhouse makes a mean burger that is truly spectacular for a chain. I digress… this location consistently has excellent service. The server was on the ball when it came to refills of my Diet Coke as well. The only negative is that parking is quite difficult before 6:30 pm. Highly recommended.

This bar & grill is right next door to the Hilton Garden Inn, so it’s convenient if you’re staying at this hotel. It’s so close to the hotel that the wifi still works inside the restaurant. I stopped by here for a drink to take a break from work on a week night. There were a just few diners there and nobody sitting by the bar. It was nice to have the area all to myself. The young bartender did a great job making my dirty gin martini. For a single Bombay, it was about $ 9.
On a different night, I stopped by an ordered a Bloody Mary and the bartender recommended a Cesar instead, which is a Bloody Mary made with clamato juice instead of tomato juice. It was very good, slightly spicy and garnished with celery and a pickled green bean. This was my first time trying a pickled green bean and I thought it complimented the drink very well. A glass of Cesar is about $ 8.
They have $ 4 drink specials on Thursdays, so I might have to check that out sometime.

My friend and I were staying in the attached hotel, so we decided to check out Casey’s Bar & Grill — as it was convenient and we’d never been to one.
We got seated fairly quickly, which was nice. The waiter started out well, coming to get our drink and dinner order… then it all went down from there. We both ordered the Cashew Chicken Stir Fry. It took a long time for our food to arrive. And the clock was ticking for us — we had a concert to get to. They weren’t even very busy.
The food finally arrived. We were starving and glad to have it, but it was only a mediocre dish and I wouldn’t order it again.
We had both finished eating what we wanted and were waiting for our waiter to show up again, so we could get some to-​go containers and our check… we waited… we waited… where was this guy? We finally stopped another waitress and asked for our check. So, yes, the service definitely left a lot to be desired.

Part of me can’t believe that this place has gotten such high reviews. It wasn’t horrible, but definitely not the shining experience that everyone else seems to have experienced.
My boyfriend had received a gift card for Casey’s so we decided to go before meeting up with some friends. There are no Casey’s restaurants in South Mississauga, so getting to any location is a bit of a hike.
We both ordered off the seasonal menu. I ordered the pork medallions with sweet potato mash and TM ordered the lobster mac and cheese. I enjoyed my meal. The meat and red wine sauce were great (especially since it was a chain bar/​restaurant) and I’m a sucker for anything with sweet potato. TM on the other hand had the opposite experience. He couldn’t even finish half of his meal as it started to make him gag. Personally, I didn’t blame him. The sauce was more cream than cheese and the lobster was tasteless with an odd texture — somewhere between rubbery and moist. There was a breadcrumb topping, but it lacked flavour as well. The only thing edible about it was the side salad it came with.
Now, I can forgive a bad dish, especially when the other was good. Sometimes things happen. What I can’t forgive is slow service, especially in a half empty restaurant. We waiting close to 30 minutes for our food and another 20 minutes after eating for the bill. Once we were all ready to pay, I had to hunt down our waiter to process the payment because he failed to come back to us. I found him chatting with a friend of his. Sorry to interrupt your conversation!
The real disappointment was finding out AFTER we paid that the gift card was also good at Fionn MacCool’s and other restaurants. Ah well — lesson learned to always read the fine print.

Had just arrived and was staying at the adjacent hotel. Really good bar food. And, outstanding service. Perfect for the hungry, newly arrived visitor.

Thanks to a WagJag deal my husband and I went here twice.
Both times for dinner.
The first time, we shared the Burger2 with fries.
We also ordered a side of sauteed veggies extra.
I was not a big fan of the burger since I felt it was kind of bland.
I can’t put my finger on it, but something was missing. I just didn’t enjoy it very much.
The fries were great though. Golden and crispy — just the way I like it.
The veggies were very good as well. They had a nice flavor.
The second time around, we got the Chicken Quesadilla to start with and we shared the Turkey Burger with fries for the main.
The quesadilla was great! It came with a really enjoyable salsa too. Definetely something I would order again.
The burger was decent, the fries were as good as the first time.
Their service was good both times.
Menus and food came quickly. The waiters were friendly and attentive.
The second evening, the manager even thanked us several times for coming.
Redeeming our vouchers was no issue at all.
My verdict:
Definitely not a bad place to have quick dinner.

Really? No one else has reviewed this place yet? I was staying at the Hotel attached to Casey’s for a few nights and ended up hanging out at this place one night. Call me crazy but I think the bartender was trying to get me drunk. Boy did he make a killer bloody mary. It was almost as good as the bloody marys I use to buy at the «World’s Greatest Bar» at the top of the World Trade Center.
Having lived in NYC and Austin but never visited Canada until now I would put the pricing up there with NYC.
I enjoyed a thai tenderloin Salad — can you say «OMG delicious». Why does this have to be a gazillion miles, customs, passport, and airplane trip away.
Because dinner was so wonderful I went back the next day and tried the Chicken Strips which apparently are hand battered on site, and they definitely taste like it.
oh yeah… and if your mouth and tummy are already wishing you were eating here right now… I didn’t even talk about the Bacardi Rum Cake… shhhhhh it’s too good to talk about, really. You would hate me if I went into the details of this ever so amazing dessert.
The service of course was phenomenal — whether the bartender was trying to liquor me up or not he was still entertaining and attentive.
