Grillway Subs & Burgers

The old man behind the counter is rude. Today was last time we went there, after having to wait for an extended amount of time to make an order. Not doing business with them, again.

Love this place, best greek good in the city. Amazing customer service, really good for quality. You get what you pay for. Absolutely delicious. My favourite place to grab something to eat.

Old school style Greek diner. Not much to look at from the outside, and the interior doesn’t get any better, but the prices are good and the food is above average. Really good subs, burgers and souvlaki meals. You’ll regularly find cops and firefighters going out of their way to grab a bite here. The place is always filled with regulars. The owner is super friendly and will make you feel at home.

Best Greek food in the city. Amazing family owned customer service. I highly recommend the banquet burger. Don’t forget to try the espresso

Imagine you are driving around Bloor West Village or the Junction and are looking for a quick lunch spot to satisfy your hunger. You drive past a small storefront with a sign that reads «Grillway». Stop immediately, turn around, and go inside!
You will not be disappointed. This place has character, a charming owner, and some of the best souvlaki I’ve ever had. I usually order the chicken souvlaki on a pita, the chicken souvlaki dinner, or the chicken souvlaki with a Greek salad. Any one of the options are stellar! Great value for the food and everything tastes fantastic!
In addition to lunch, both the breakfast and dinner options are great! The place is constantly packed with locals looking to grab a quick meal. One of my favorite quick meals in the city! Above all, the food tastes great, you can’t go wrong with a meal from Grillway!

Real good. Never really had an appreciation for submarines until I had their 6 $ foot long assorted cold cut. Also got the banquet burger (a bit pricy but good) and a poutine. It was a bit salty but not bad.
Will come back for late night eats for their subs!

Excellent neighbourhood diner. I get the pork souvlaki every time and never disappointed. Nice big portions and friendly service. This place along with the Detroit Eatery on the Danforth are my two favourite diners in the city, and both are Greek! Go figure.

Certainly a warm and welcoming atmosphere at this place. The owner guy is indeed grateful for the business, which is even more impressive considering how busy it was.
I just had an assorted sub, which was probably a 3.5÷5, though I would come back to try other items.
Prices could be a bit more competitive

Didn’t have high expectations going in but was surprisingly busy. Simple diner feel with lots of menu options.

What a nostalgic little place. Cute diner reminiscent of days past, except with wifi!
Stopped in today for the first time and ordered a pizza. It was very fresh and delicious. This will be my new go-​to for takeout pizza from now on. You can’t beat the price.
The menu is very extensive. Lots of people coming in for takeout — burgers, subs, souvlaki, etc. The owner greeted everyone graciously and you could tell by the conversation several diners were regulars and knew him well.
There were crumbs on our table when we sat down but he came over to wipe it down shortly after. The place seemed clean enough to me.
We will definitely be back for breakfast or a quick bite sometime soon!

The food is average (burger above average). But my goodness their prices are fair! They could almost be raised, but that would lower my review

Owner is very friendly. Food is cheap and very tasty. What more could you want? Their pizza, hamburgers and poutine are especially delicious, and are all very generously portioned.

I really like this place! It has the look of a classic diner. The deals are well worth the money u pay. Portions are a substantial size and are quickly made. It has a very friendly atmosphere, where it feels like everyone knows everyone.,

I have had a sandwich here and another day I had pizza with a friend. The food is good and quick, nothing too great. If you are hungry and want to be satiated perfect.
There are a lot of teens a the time, and the place doesn’t look too clean, but as I said, its good for the hit and run kind of deal.

Love this place. One of the best of the last remaining Greek diners. Hidden on Annette street at Runnymede this place serves almost everything, and everything always taste great. If you dare, try the Super sub. The pizzas are great too.
My preference is their classic home burger. Huge, handmade, loaded with flavour, and char broiled just right. Fresh a la cart topping and a fresh bun. Burger goodness, way better than greasy jumbo burgers, and better than most in the city.

the fries are great, which is what I’m basing my rating on! As for the owners (Greek) — the husband is very friendly, smiles and professional. As for his wife, she is a real B@#%^. She always looks misreable as hell and cranky! If she doesn’t like dealing with people where the hospitality business requires it, she should look for a job cleaning toilets, so she doesn’t have to deal with people. Let public toilet bowl cleaning wages pay her mortgage! If it were not for her husband, I would never go back there! If i were rating that aspect, I would rate it an «Eek! Methinks not (1 star)».
THANK GOODNESS FOR HIS PROFESSIONAL dispostion. He needs all of it that he can get dealing with her by his side day in and day out!!!

Ive been going to Grillway for over 20 years and cant believe its taken me this long to write a review. For us Grillway is always the to go, default place to go. You cannot get anything that doesn’t taste amazing here.
My top picks are the burger (they make it from high grade beef in house each day), 12″ assorted sub — THE BEST ASSORTED IN THE CITY, and the Poutine. The poutine is what made me want to write this review today. Their poutine has always been my favorite in the world! Ive had poutines all over the city and around Quebec). Until recently the options where classic which is shredded cheese and the thickest and BEST gravy loaded over the crunchy fries, or the Greek version which replaces the mozzarella with feta cheese. The owner has now created «Supreme Poutine» which is a creation out of this world!!! its the crispy fries topped with sauteed onions and mushrrom, secret spices, bits of real bacon, bits of hamburger/​beef, bits of grilled chicken, cheese, gravy and topped with feta (HUGE PORTION — meal size or share at the table). I might be missing some ingredients, but this thing is next level and leaves me craving it days after Ive had it (I took pictures last time — check them out). My girlfriend orders greek salad and chicken at every restaurant we go to and she swears by the fact that this is the best one shes ever had (pics also attached).
The owner is the hardest working person I know, opens and closes the store 7 days a week. Always super nice to everyone and has a true passion for the food he creates. I will continue to go to Grillway for the rest of my life.

I used to live in Toronto and have had burgers all over the city. Now every time I come back I have to go back to GrillWay to get the best burger in town. The burgers are home made.

I love Grillway and go there pretty often. Everything I’ve ever had there is good. They make the best burger in the city. Their pizza is also great, and all of the Greek food is awesome. I’ve paid a lot more money at a number of fancy-​looking Greek restaurants in this city where the food wasn’t anywhere near as good as the takeout Greek food here. This isn’t a «fancy» restaurant but they use high quality ingredients and care about what they’re serving. The owner is a friendly guy who knows how to run a business and treats everyone with respect. There are a lot of regular customers here and for good reason. I read a negative review here and it made me mad so I had to write this to stick up for one of the best places in the neighborhood.

Full Disclosure. I am a High School Teacher.
For the last three years, I have had students walk into my third period class. I ask then, «Where were you?» They respond, «Sorry sir. I was at Grillway.»
For three years there was a constant stream of late students walking far too far from the school to order burgers, poutine, pizza, and just about everything else you could imagine.
I never sought out this Grillway. I didn’t even know where it was located. Part of me assumed it was just an excuse students used, and knew would get them slightly less ire. Who can blame the students for getting lunch, you see.
But — all of this changed. Last weekend I was wandering down around Annette, and spotted «Grillway» on a restaurant, as I prepared to jump on the Runneymede bus. Finally, after all these years of hearing about it — this great white whale of an eatery — I was there.
Stepping back from the curb, as the bus rolled up, I changed my plans, headed across the street, and stepped inside.
The restaurant is overpowering, in the way a Chinese restaurant can be. There is no menu with four or five options. No, instead, the entire restaurant is the menu. Dozens of options present themselves — and as I scanned the room for something that would help me break through the mass of potentially delicious items, I zeroed in on the peameal bacon sandwich.
My expectations were high. I am a great loved of peameal bacon sandwiches, and expect nothing but the best. As I waited for the bacon to cook, I started to fear — what if the meal wasn’t everything I wanted? Why had I sought out bacon in the west end? Everyone knows it’s the best out east!
But then it arrived — thick, plentiful slabs, on a huge kaiser. Fresh vegetables, including slices of tomato that complemented rather than detracting from the overall experience.
As I bit into my six dollar sandwich, I realized there was nothing to fear. And finally — at last — I understood why lunch hour, after lunch hour, my students made the pilgrimage to this intersection.
Looking around, I knew I’d be back — and that there would be all number of options waiting for me when I returned.
Just as I was leaving I heard something else. Someone ordered the breakfast.
There is no breakfast on the menu. But there are things that have potato, bacon, and eggs. Clearly this is a restaurant with secret options, and that will make whatever you want if they have the ingredients on hand.
I am but a novice explorer — a green horn — in this land. But I someday hope to become an expert. Perhaps even a studied guide.

Definitely a diner.
Imagine a cross between a coffee shop and a sub shop and this nails the décor. But don’t let that fool ya. It’s got personality and the food has flavour. Key in a diner. I had the luxury of having the burger with fries. The burger was juicy and you could taste the honest beef flavour. No filler, just beef. Could be more then a three, but need more data to access.
The place is set up perfectly for a quick tastee bite. Make sure you drop buy the owners are really friendly.

Love their pizza, so much better than the big brands! I just wish they deliver, but still worth making the drive to pickup yourself. Also a fan of oven toasted turkey bacon sub, made with real bacon (not the thin microwaved stuff). I found most items priced comparable to the chain restaurants but home made quality and better tasting!

Good burgs. Good fries. Souvlaki is good too. Pizza is ‘ok’ HUGE menu!

This place is awesome. Best burger in town!!! the pizzas are also great! The owners are people with big hearts and the service is fun. Just try it and you will love it. The Banquet Burger is my favorite.
