This was my first time eating in this area of Toronto, the restaurant is huge and was super busy when we went. We still managed to have good service and great food. The patio wasnt open at this point and we were seated in the very back, it felt quite secluded from the atmosphere of the restaurant. Would go back but likely sit somewhere else.
Great food great taps and awesome vibe.
Good pizza!????????????
Have been many times for dinner or drinks or brunch: always happy, never wait for a table. This is my favourite brunch spot because there's no wait and the prices are fair, and most of all because I get perfectly ripe banana and berries with my bacon & eggs rather than melons I don't eat. The food always tastes good and fresh (e.g. kale and sausage soup was SO good!). Plus, the music volume is low enough you can hear conversation and still enjoy the great rock songlist.
A really good atmosphere inside and the lady who served us was great, just enough engagement. The food, burgers and chips, were tasty and the beer flowed easily (the waitress was attentive when I started becoming empty). Definitely make a visit here!!
Great food, beer and wine selection as well as friendly service
The onion rings are great. Good place to meet over a couple of beers.
I don't usually write reviews but this restaurant is amazing. The atmosphere, the service, and the food were all out of this world. I would gladly go back and will not hesitate to recommend this restaurant to others. It's simple, this place rules.
For some reason Google Maps will direct you to the back alley. My friend and I both ended up there, in the dark, and were confused by the sign that said "Access to Factory Girl" (which we later figured was deliveries). The directions given lead to the heated patio in the back, but it's fenced in so you have to go in via Danforth which has the front entrance. First impressions aside, Factory Girl has an extensive menu and attentive service. I enjoyed the dessert -- a molten lava cake topped with ice cream. Yum!
Quick friendly service, lots of seating with an extensive pizza menu along with other great gastropub favorites.
Good atmosphere, good music, staff is very nice. Food is a good pub food. I enjoy going there and will go again.
We had the mac and cheese and chicken tacos and both were absolutely spectacular but what really made our meal was the waitress, very refreshing to have such excellent service. Will definitely go back there.
Pizza was excellent, drinks were great, will definitely be coming back soon!
Great pizza and salad! Would recommend
Amazing brunch on the patio
Great pizza and patio!
Really enjoyed going to this place whenever I get the chance to enjoy a delicious meal. My visit today was good, however I felt a couple things could improve to make it better. 1) I ordered the bruschetta, and I felt there were too much tomato-basil mixture. Taking a few bites of it made some of it to fall off. Maybe adding a little less, could make it a less messy experience. 2) Servers/waiters are really nice and courteous. But it's troublesome when they don't come by to check on you to see if you are enjoying the meal. It will be hard and probably rude for the customer to call on the waiter if there ever is an issue with their meals or if they need anything else while enjoying it. I hope the restaurant takes consideration to make the best service for all future customers.
meh -- ok
Nice back patio great service and to tasty food
Unexpectedly amazing Mediterranean salad with the ideal amount of feta cheese. Best Greek salad I've had outside of Greece and that's high praise!
Good spot for food close to Danforth Music hall, but nothing to write home about.
Yesterday was my significant other's last day in Toronto before flying out. We shared a Rigatoni ala Vodka here in the back yard, and it was easily the best Vodka pasta we've ever had. Service was amazing. Our server knew the wine offered there super well and made an amazing recommendation. Atmosphere was relaxing. Overall, a phenomenal dining experience, and will definitely be back for more!
Picked up our favourite pizzas during COVíD take-out only.....open (thankfully) for call ahead Wed-Sat.....looking forward to patio openings and returning to Factory Girl....fresh choices on tap and a great wine selection
Not bad. Bread pudding is great! Service is friendly.
Good food, good prices, clean service area, and fantastic servers. Can't go wrong unless you don't call in a reservation...
Standard pub fare. The food is pretty good and atmosphere is what I'd expect from an English pub.
Went here as part of a tickemaster deal for a concert at the Danforth Music Hall. Great food, great service. Nice locaton
Meal type
Overpriced and overrated. Our waitress was innatentive and unhelpful, resulting in my meal being like ten noodles covered in cheese for $13. The pizza my friend got was soggy and not well made, overpriced for sure. Location is decent at least if you are going to the Danforth...and...they have beer?? So that helps.
Love the patio in the summer. Great spot for a relaxed lunch. Prices are a little high for the portions/quality, but some decent menu options.
Exceptional service, the food is great and the music is FANTASTIC!!! I really wish I new about this place before...And a great back patio!
I go to Factory Girl at least twice per month for lunch. I've never been for dinner. I love the service, especially when the owner himself is serving. I usually modify my order and he is always happy to do so. If you get a chance try their homegrown sausage - it's delicious.
Great place for a chance to catch up with a small group of friends. We didn't eat but every dish brought out looked and smelled delicious. The only problem is the beer. Unfortunately, the draught beer that I got and my buddy got, 2 different draughts, tasted off, like they were old beer or the lines for the tap and kegs had not been cleaned. The rest of the place is great though, just need a bit of upkeep on their tap and keg lines.
Pizza was a tad bit on the salty side but the excellent brews fixed that right up
Every time I hit the Danforth Music Hall to see a show I end up here. Phenomenal food that is always fresh and inspiring! With an on tap menu to cater to all this is the place to be on the Danforth. The Rock and roll atmosphere certainly doesn't hurt. For the first timers in the summer make sure to go all the way to the back and check out the back patio!
I have been a fond regular of this cozy and familiar gastropub. The girls are so friendly and lovely; I feel at home every time I step in! I really do miss them if I haven't been for a while. It was hard for me to personally trek there in the harsh cold of winter, but I'm looking forward to the warmer weather so that I can walk there more often. This is a must-visit establishment. The food is prepared with such care (compliments to the chef) and the girls will always know something good to drink (with some initial input of course)! I love this place, the food, the staff, the name, the atmosphere, .... Oh and there's lots of photos of famous musicians, so go if your especially a music lover and a food lover!
Never go here to eat, only drink. All the food was nasty
I hadn't been here for several years. It was good food and service. I seem to recall a bit larger menu and a bit more diverse; I found somewhat over priced for what everything was, this said, I would go back but maybe for apps and drinks instead.
Amazing crab eggs benedict
I loveeeeeed it here ! Great setup and awesome pizza. My waitress was amazing also
Quality music and ambience to go with the decor.
Decent food and service
I would go back for the appetizer mac&cheese. It was awesome. I found my pasta quite bland and boring though.
Good food & service
Great food, drinks & customer service
Good atmosphere with reasonable prices, friendly and prompt service and tasty food.
Decent pub food. Pleasant if slow service.
Not great service from staff
Super surprised and delighted at this experience! My server (pretty brunette) was so nice and the food is REALLY good!!! Fair prices as well, I will definitely be returning and see myself coming here as a regular in the future
This is our 'go to' spot for food and drinks before shows at the Danforth Music Hall, which we go a lot. Good pizza, great mac and cheese and I like the tacos for a light and satisfying nosh before a show. Good patio for summer too. It's a good local and a great meeting spot for shows.
Went to this restaurant for dinner. Service was great and food came out very quick. We shared calamari which was tasty. The best part though was the tzatziki was a little hard to dip because it was cold but once you got your fork in there the flavour was great. I had the club sandwich which was not like your traditional club but overall was good. Fish and chips was the other dish and I found that to be fresh and not over battered. Overall it was good just a little pricey for what you get in my opinion.
OMG! Excellent food, quickly prepared! We has the Luigi and Maria pizzas - perfect, and a great flavour contrast. The Mac&Cheese was very flavourful and exactly what our housemate was desiring. The Scampi Linguine was exactly as it should be - simple AND delicious. The staff was also quite willing to help out with the menu and answer our concerns. They really helped! I'm a first-time customer, but I really recommend Factory Girl. I'll be ordering from them, and going to visit when they finally get to serve us all again. ❤❤❤
I have been here before and had great service. I was disappointed the other night when I went there. My husband and I wanted to have a couple of drinks and something to eat before we went to a show. We arrived and sat at the only clean table we could see. It was part of a group of six tables. The waitress came up and asked us if we could move to the double table beside us (which wasn't clean) and that she would come and clean it up for us (She wasn't particularly friendly). We had no probIem moving to a double clean table. I went downstairs to the washroom and when I came back up, my husband still had not been asked what we wanted to drink (my husband had not yet moved to the cleaned double table mind you), perhaps he was waiting for me. He did however mention that he could see five staff members not busy (who could have taken our drink orders). Overall, we waited far too long to be acknowledged let alone ask what we wanted to drink. We felt agitated and uncomfortable so we just left. It was not a good experience. I'll give it two stars because the past two times I've been there, it's been great. I'm not sure I'll return after this last visit.
Just discovered this place. Will definitely go back to truly experience this place. The bar looks awesome, and the patio is wonderful.
I had a completely forgetable meal. I mean, who can't cook a chicken based meal and have it taste decent or flavorful. Topper, cockroach on the wall freaked my wife out so much she stopped eating. Went before a show at the Danforth Music Hall thinking it would be a fun way to start the night. We still talk about that over priced bug place a year later. I'm writing this cuz my phone prompted me to. We were in the area again last night and must have been "bugged" by their WiFi. Avoid.
Nice enough place, good music and decent food, but hands down the worst waiter I've ever had. Perhaps it was an off night, but with all the other delicious food on the Danforth they should step up on service.
Pleasant staff, nice selection on tap. A variety of spaces, which is nice for groups.
Great staff, decent menu, good vibes. Great place to meet a friend.
Good place to meet up for drinks with friends.
It was great, service was fast and food was devine. Would come again
Service
Factory Girl is one of our favourite restaurants! Went for dinner on Saturday night and as always, we had a fabulous meal with impeccable service. The food was delicious - everything is great. We particularly love the calamari, fresh pizzas from the wood-burning oven, fish tacos, the pasta dishes and fish & chips! George, the owner, goes out of his way to accommodate all guests and special requests while maintaining an exceptionally clean and safe environment. The servers, Carlo and Danni, are warm, friendly and so helpful. We love dining at Factory Girl with our kids and with our friends - perfect location with great food, amazing service and fabulous ambiance (love the music and all the great music-themed decor!)! I highly recommend!
Really enjoyed the food! Kitchen was flexible and made changes we requested, even when off menu. Service was also really attentive without being overbearing.
Cute downtown vibe! Waiter was very outgoing and kind, and their chicken wings are amazing!
Good vibe. Menu suitable for any picky eater. I went for brunch and had the eggs Benni. The order didn't come with enough potatoes (I'm a starch girl) so ended up splitting fries with my friend. Totally recommed this pace for brunch or dinner. Good vibes, great service
The pizza was delicious, I'll be back to try more flavours
The environment is intimate and cozy, their back patio especially. The Factory linguini is my favourite :) The staff are attentive and friendly.
Fast, friendly service and great food.
Only there once, but food was great, as was the service. Clean and good ambience. Would definitely go back.
Great place to grab a late night pizza and pint. The margarita is phenomenal with a few drips of olive oil. Perfect amount to share for two ;)
Solid neighborhood pub with eclectic food and the usual favorites.
Close to Danforth music hall and well paired for a night of music and drinks. Also. Delicious food!
Still a good, well-spaced patio into October.
This place is pretty rad.
Needed to grab a bite to eat before a show and this place was great! Great food, friendly staff. Would definitely return.
Tremendous (but upscale) food and beer.
Thanks!
Love the food and the atmosphere. One of my go to places for non-Greek food on the Danforth.
Even though our drink is not over yet, he brought the bill in front of us. A huge disrespect they did.
Lovely pub, well pulled pint of Stella. Great drinks selection.
Great back patio and reasonable drink prices
Went on Saturday, and I have to say, I had THE BEST Halibut and chips ever! I'll definitely be going back! Super atmosphere too!
Delicious food! Not your average pub menu!
The service here is always amazing, and the atmosphere is even better! I love their Rigatoni a la Vodka, it is the perfect amount of spicy. Their pizzas, calamari, fries and more ALWAYS hit the spot. They are even doing amazing things during physical distancing/quarantine and are handling it SO well. Would recommend ordering or paying a visit!
I love the food here
Excellent food, fantastic wait staff and great for families. Always a great dining experience!
Food was tasty. Server forgot a couple things from our order.
Dine in
Great spot to eat or grab a drink before the show. Love the nostalgic atmosphere.
This place is a total gem. Most diverse menu. The beer pours cold. The staff are warm and friendly. Did I mention $11 spaghetti and meatballs on Tuesday and $2 corkage on Sunday Monday after 4????? ???? A++ for the whole dang place!
Really good pub food, great atmosphere, and friendly staff. I wish the beer list was a bit better, although it's not bad. Well worth a visit.
Expensive but worth it
Good atmosphere, food is usually excellent but a little inconsistent.
Mac and Cheese is the best I've ever tasted!!
Nice outdoor patio in the back of restaurant.
A great place for a craft beer and a delicious gastropub bite to eat.
Home run, every time. Fine vibe all around: decor, owner, staff, food. Highly recommended.
Great food and service! Had the rigatoni, highly recommend it!
I love Factory Girl, the food is wonderful, the taps are wonderful, the patios are wonderful and the staff is BETTER than wonderful !
Love the menu
Very good food, but desserts are even better.
Love the vibe, the music, patio is super sweet if it's 1-2 of you (pretty tiny, but it makes the space more intimate), the staff's friendly and attentive, the wine and food is great.
Called ahead to ask about Gluten-Free options and was given a great run down of the options. When we arrived the staff was incredibly welcoming, fast service and most importantly delicious food!! Thanks for a great experience!
Had a burger and sausage pasta. Burger was below average (overdone) and pasta was average. Good service.
No vegan options on the menu :(
Love this place
Pretty good food. They messed up our order but made it right immediately with zero fuss. Downside: as a celiac, their menu is *very* limited. Salads, the fish tacos, and, "any of our pastas can be made with gluten free penne.
It was a nice sit down meal, the staff were great.
Nice restaurant and bar with brunch during the morning period. Staff was friendly and service was quick. Eggs were done well and sausage was flavourful. Portions were healthy and filling. Washrooms were slightly claustrophobic and impractical but were clean. Overall, a good value.
Great atmosohere great food great service just great all around.
Prices are above average, but the service is extremely fast and food is great.
Hot damn pizza and Scotch at a great price. Real napoletana style pizza!
Allways very good Stella. Im thinking the best in downdown.Exellent and fast services.
Visited on the Holiday Monday. We walked in without a reservation at 6:30 pm and were seated in the pretty back patio. The staff were friendly and the food was good though the kitchen was working pretty slowly so our appetizers took 45 mins to come out. We ordered the Beet Salad, Sweet Potato Fries, and the Ploughman's Board. All were delicious. Would come back and hope that the slow food was just a fluke of the holiday.
Loved it! Had the French onion soup and hubby had the chicken club- both came out well. It's a lovely pub. The lady who looked after us was brilliant - high energy, super efficient and friendly.
Atmosphere service and food was good
Local hole in the wall dive with bad service, cute patio for a quick drink.
Great pizza /great company seeing my cousin.
Fantastic menu with a of options of pizza, pasta, and appetizers.
Went for a beer and a snack after a show at the Danforth Music Hall. Service was fast and friendly. Food was ok and beer selection was ok.
Beautiful front of the house staff. Fast kitchen team. Excellent service. I will definitely recommend Factory Girl for all walks of life.
First time , nice place, good pizza! Nice staff!
We had the best experience at Factory Girl! We went in on a busy Saturday afternoon and we had the most amazing experience. Kaela was our waitress she went absolutely above and beyond for us. They didn’t have any colouring pages for our kids, so Kaela printed off some colouring pages right then and there and then ran across the street to buy crayons for us! Wow!! She made us feel extremely comfortable and certainly well taken care of. The restaurant was very busy, but Kaela was very communicative and kept us in the loop. We never felt like we had been waiting, it was great! The food was fantastic also, Kaela suggested the fish & chips and it was delicious! Crispy, fresh, and came out quickly. The kids ordered the pizza and spaghetti and I was very impressed with how quickly the food came out. The kids were able to eat first, which was so great! All in all we had such a great time, we will be coming back for sure! Thanks for such a great experience! Kaela, we hope you are working next time we come in :)
Nice, chilled out place l
I like this place a lot if I need to meet a friend for drinks on the east side. Menu is decent for pub food, nothing spectacular. It's just very laid back and the service is great. No aggressively loud music and it doesn't get as packed as some other joints so all good in the hood!
Food was good not great but good
Great food, we loved everything but the fries so we'll try something different next time! Calamari, wings w/honey garlic sauce (and I never like honey garlic, bourbon sour, margarita & beers were great! The Waiter was awesome as well, and super friendly! 10/10 would recommend ✌️????
Good option if you're catching a show at either the Social Capitol Theatre or Danforth Music Hall! Really addictive sweet potato fries and a great atmosphere!
Try the pizza! It was incredible
Normally a great place for drinks as the beer menu has a good selection of crafts and there's an even better spirits menu. Food menu is great. On the pricier side, but in line with the quality and location. Went in for an early brunch on Saturday. Although we were one of the only tables there in the first hour, the server seemed uninterested in visiting us. 20 minutes would pass between her coming to the table, which meant frequently empty and forlorn coffee mugs. We had kids with us, and the server was clearly getting annoyed that they were rowdy near the end of brunch. That really could have been solved by visiting us regularly enough that we could order the bill. As it was I had to flag down the host before we could pay. This place is great and temporarily drops to 4 stars instead of 5 only because of the occasional waitstaff who are just uninterested in serving will just ruin a visit.
Cool place to grab a drink. Good service. Unassuming pub, but good food.
Great menu, pizzas and sandwiches are fresh and delicious. Great selection of beer on tap
Love this place! I've been meaning to write a review for a while now. It has a great vibe/atmosphere and I love taking friends here to catch up. Good food, great drinks, and even better service. Can't ever go wrong with fish n chips. Overall amazing dining experience/service and they even have great take out during this covid-19 pandemic.
An average local pub. The beer list was average. I had the Napoli pizza. It was average.
I will never come here again. They brought a receipt when our beer was closed before 1 hour.????????????????????????
The venue is big. Two patios. Nice staff. I had the "Mac" n cheese. It was good but no bread at all (garlic bread would have been great).
Fresh food and close to Danforth Music Hall
An $11 poutine that consists of a small plate of fries and some gravy over a sprinkling of mozzarella. This is Canada, not North Korea.
Fresh tasty fare and a lovely patio. Friendly service
The staff were professionals and helpful, which made us feel special. Food was above expectations (pizza). Liked the decor as well.
The fish and chips were amazing
Great pasta, and a sirloin sandwich that doesn't even need the jus that it comes with.
Food and drinks is worth every dollar for the experience. Dining indoors and outdoors is accomodating as well as spacious. Cocktails crafted ???? by awesome staff.????❤️????
We booked a guys night dinner and drinks for about 18 people. They set us up in the private back room area so we could mingle and chat without disruption. The food was great. Our waitress (Ashley) was amazing. Kept the drinks flowing and the party upbeat with her friendly and fun demeanour. Within about 5 minutes she knew everyone in the rooms name and what they were drinking and was very attentive to our group despite cover other tables in the main area.
Excellent pizzas and service! Factory Girl is a staple of the Danforth.
Great music and super food. (Visited multiple Times before covid shut down)
Good location for larger group. Nice back patio. Staff friendly
Fabulous fish tacos on the patio
We had a couple beers and sat on the patio. We were just killing time. And killed it. The music is pretty good, classic rock mostly. Which I enjoyed.
Beautiful, warm back patio. Gracious and efficient service; my glass was never empty.
This has been my place for almost a decade. The venue is wonderful, the servers are charming and provide the best customer service I've in my forty years have experienced. The taps are varied and the food is AMAZING. If I had only one choice, Factory Girl would be THE place
Pretty decent food but mediocre service. My server seemed pretty unenthusiastic about waiting on me, and it must have taken thirty minutes to take my dirty dishes, bring me the bill and close me out. I really enjoyed my meal, though.
I come here quite often. Love the homemade sausage. The walls are full of posters of great rock and roll bands from the 60's & 70's (and a few more recent). The pasta special is usually delicious as are the meatballs. Service is great and there is a hidden patio at the back of the restaurant.
Absolutely love this place! Good food and great staff... looking forward to coming back when I'm in Toronto.
Gr8 MAK N SHEEZ
Good for eats and conversation; music low key but upbeat.
Fabulous food and Really fast service
Nice rear patio, decent eats, friendly. Not bad.
Mediocre food. Overpriced for the portion size.
Food was good, but none of the servers were wearing masks, I saw one table only half wiped, the menus didn't look like they were cleaned (although admittedly I didn't see this) and the back patio lacked any physical distancing. The server said that the high-back wooden chairs provided enough protection. I have seen other restaurants take the precautions more seriously.
This place is usually good. Love the sweet potato fries. The beet salad was swimming in balsamic vinegar
Dinner
Always a good experience at Factory Girl.
The staff are stellar!
Awesome pizza
Good spot for food and drink on the Danforth
Loved it!!
Great priced brunch!
Best pasta I have ever had in my life! Rigatoni a la vodka all the way!!
Good food, a lot of variety. In the summer there is a patio in the back. Very good service, staff is friendly.
Food was mainly good, service could have been better. Took a long time to order/pay (didn’t seem that busy) and the one dish our party didn’t like (had WAY too much of a single ingredient for any of our tastes) wasn’t handled particularly well by our server. Otherwise, the other dishes (including the replacement we had to order for the first one we also had to pay for) were pretty good.
Bland, watery, over priced disappointing Mac an Cheese...
Great atmosphere and good good for a decent price
We had the pizza and it was good, wine and beer great, service slightly on the confusion side , meaning nice but on steroids.
Fantastic food and service. Will dine there again next time I'm out that way.
Excellent food! Greats staff! Sweet tunes! (keep in mind this is one of the most popular spots for drinks and food before concerts at the Danforth Music Hall so pack some patience if it's a show night. Worth the wait! Try the Factory Pizza!)
Very dark interior, food was ok and it's very close to Broadview Station.
Great food , great service. Good portions . Would definitely come back .
I like the place, I ordered a fish and chips , the potatos were not fresh but overall experience was nice. I dont think I would go back.
I had a great night here with my girlfriend, drinks and food were great.
Great backyard patio, heated! Fantastic spot especially under current circumstances.
The lentil soup was fantastic!
Good rotating menu. Reasonable wine list. Great location.
The pizza is delicious
Nice local pub with secluded rear patio. Additional street seating to allow physical distancing. Great pizza menu and pasta and sandwiches. Definitely recommend if you're in the area.
Upscale food in a casual setting with a funky atmosphere. Friendly service and fair prices coupled with a dessert menu that is phenomenal.
Service
Friendly staff, great food and great pub atmosphere.
A fun, lively place on the Danforth with an impressive selection of menu items. It has warm and friendly staff who are also attentive to many food allergies. Great place to hang with friends and even better for a pre-concert destination, being just a few doors East of the Danforth Music Hall.
They refused to make us the drinks we wanted. They had all the ingredients, but were just like, "no"
They have the greatest staff, service and food. If you are ever in Greek Town this resto/bar is a must visit. Try their Pizza, Calamari or Meatballs or sSlads or Brunch. or anything. Amazing!!!
Excellent customer service and tasty delicious food. Love this restaurant. Great vibes.
Great pizzas nice atmosphere
Excellent pulled pork sandwiches. Fast and friendly service.
Mac & cheese had too big of noodles & way too much garlic
Excellent service, very kind waiters and pizza was amazing
Great menu and environment
i love the atmosphere here and the staff is nice. I always get the tacos, they are so good
HORRIBLE I never write reviews, I don't complain, but my experience was so terrible I have to this time. I'm an MD and after working a 12 hour shift under lights, I was a bit disappointed to be seated under a bright light in the corner of the back room (while there were still tables available up front, and the back room was empty). When requested to be seated at one of the many other empty tables in the back (any other), the staff was hesitant, but agreed. After our appetizers showed up we were told (not asked) that we needed to be re-seated. At this point the entire back room was still empty!?? I expressed to the waitress I just didn't want to sit under the bright light in the corner, and being that the whole room was empty, could we just stay where we were. The waitress looked almost fearful, and went to speak with the owner again. Without saying anything to us, or apologizing, the owner came over and took the light out of the lamp, and looked angry while doing so. He never acknowledged me, and made me feel unwanted. They then told us to move. Instead, I suggested I would pay for what I had ate, and would just head out. At this point I heard the owner slam something and yell "this is bullshit" at his staff. I paid my bill, no staff members apologized, and not once did the owner come to talk to me. The food is not that good that you have to put up with an owner who doesn't appreciate business on a busy strip like the Danforth. I wont be back, and nor should you.
Very vintage and diner-like feel to it. Cozy and small place. Prices are very good for what you get. Had a nice waitress. Overall a great time.
Excellent food. Great staff
We love Factory Girl! Great location, food and people!
Friendly and good drinks
Food & service are consistently excellent. We love this place and will keep returning!
Decent pub food, good to hang out at before a show at the Danforth Music Hall.
Nice little place for pints and apps.
Fantastic place to go. Never disappoints. Service is excellent and food quality is consistently great.
Very good food and nice atmosphere. Loved the music. Chill on a Sunday afternoon, server let us chat for awhile after our meal was done. (No one was rushing us out which was nice)
Average food for the average Canadian. I would maybe return, it isn't horrible still. would return and would refer
Good place to get together n good food
The food and customer service here are amazing!! I especially loved their fish and chips as well as their pasta. Can’t wait to go back. Keep up the great work!
A wonderful establishment with great food, staff and music!! Every time I have eaten here, the food and service has been excellent. On a side note, during the annual Taste of the Danforth, this is one of the few places that did not try to gouge customers during the event. A big thank you for that.
Nice place
Great food, great service!!! Salad dressing was lacking flavour but pizza was exceptional. Good tunes played at nice volume, overall nice atmosphere.
Great bar - lovely staff
Good food and drink and atmosphere. But a little pricey.
Food is always good
Cool spot. Great vibe. Disappointed in the fish I thought it would have been better with a 35 year-old recipe. It was quite greasy.
Excellent beer selection, great food, overall thumbs up.
Food is alright. The atmosphere is great though.
Had a really nice meal and drink here on Sunday afternoon. Would return again
Fine dining. Superb place. Excellent service
The rigatoni alla vodka is one of my favourite dishes ever. We had great and friendly service, everyone enjoyed their meals, and the prices are so reasonable for being close to a concert venue. I always come here prior to a show at The Danforth.
Guy owner is rude! My wife sat at their patio and ordered wine. Owner comes to her and tells her if she wants to stay at the patio, she has to order drinks at least. She already ordered! Was just waiting for her drink! The nerve of this guy. Maybe it's because we're Asians. I'm half Greek, half Asian. Leaved in Toronto all my life. So has my wife. We've never been treated so poorly and discriminated upon like this in Toronto until now. Definitely spreading this review to all my Greek, and asian-descent friends who actually leave around the area.
The lentil soup was fantastic!
Good service on a quiet afternoon. My sandwich was really rich and tasty. Tasty fries too.
great food and amazing service!
Amazing
Food and service was good but owner stopped me at the door with my service dog, without identifying himself, stating that dogs were not allowed in. I informed him that she was a service dog but the owner fought me saying that I don't look sick and asked for my personal medical information. I presented paperwork stating the dog is certified and walked in. After our meal I confronted the owner with the AODA to which he told me it did not apply because I did not look disabled. As the conversation went on he stated he didn't want any dog in his business regardless and that if I was sick I should just stay at home.
Great Ambiance, excellent food.
Great patio and even greater club sammich
If I could give a negative rating I would! Food was horrible and staff/management were extremely rude. I also experienced racist undertones from this establishment. I would never return here again! In response to the owners response below this is exactly what I am talking about. This charity event was used to promote your food. The food that I was so called “eating” from your stall while I was waiting on a friend on the patio while she used the bathroom which a employee had said she could. Yes I am not a child which is why I understand how a customer or potential customers should be treated. You had a very aggressive tone when I was simply waiting on a friend. I was neither rude or disrespectful to you in any way and you approached me in a very aggressive and threatening tone. I also saw how you spoke to the white couple who did the same and you were very polite which I unfortunately could not say for myself. It looks like I am not the only person that had experienced this at your establishment based on other comments people have posted on separate occasions.
Great food and fast service got us to our show on time. Would definitely repeat.
Quiet and chic. Good music. Excelent food. Great staff. Love it!
Really good food. Okay service.
Liked the food, laid back atmosphere I'll be back!
George the owner is a real professional, the place is always consistent. Food and service are top notch!
I had the pleasure of hanging out here on a night off and had wonderful, personable service from the bartender, Kaela. When I started to get a bit peckish I ordered the bruschetta, which was perfectly portioned. The music and decor set the right vibe, and I'm looking forward to my next visit!
Disinterested service.
The food has gone down hill. It used to be way better.
Cool decor and great service. The pizza and beer salad were had were good with a lot of hot sauce and pepper options.
Great food served quickly. Definitely will return.
Had the Tex Mex Taco and extremely delicious
Nice relaxing place for dinner
Good tasty fresh made food.Cozy atmosphere.
Great pizza
Good atmosphere, but not the food. The pizza was okay, meatballs too salty, mac and cheese undercooked.
Really fun pre-concert dinner spot to check out before you head to Danforth Music Hall. The pizza's are great!
An average local pub. The beer list was average. I had the Napoli pizza. It was average.
Had the Nicholas pizza, it was excellent. Great glass of pint noir that was served cool, not room temperature, loved that! Hate room temperature reds.Great service and atmosphere, will return for sure.
Dinner
Great food and subway accessible.
Great food! Friendly service. Great place for a drink out with friends
A great place for a quick lunch. We ordered off the appetizer menu and were served good food quickly. Large beverage menu! Will come back. Only noted thing was a fairly meat-heavy menu, perfect for carnivorous winos.
Vodka alla penne. Thank me later.
Good Pizzas
AMAZING PIZZA
We shared pizza and salad on the back patio a month ago, never a bad experience. Food and service are both good, decent selection of wine and beers too.
Went in on a whim on a Friday. Wasnt horribly busy and were able to seat us immediately. It was pretty dark and too warm inside. Food took a while but the portion size was good and tasted good as well. Ordered some basic drinks (rum&coke, etc) and they were just okay.
This is one of my go to spots when in the area. Good selection, nice atmosphere, friendly staff.
The fish and chips were amazing
Food was great and service was extremely fast
Hit and miss, sometimes service is good other times it's a miss
Best meatballs
Went here to have some drinks with a few guys before a wedding in the area. The waitress was very attentative, and friendly. The beer pours we're good, and the food looked tasty and fresh from what I saw. Nice little patio, and front windows open to street. I enjoyed my time here.
Food and service was good! Drinks a bit pricy...
Fantastic ahi tuna tacos. Great beer selection! Servers are lovely.
Amazing patio.
Enjoyed the place and the food. French onion soup was very tasty. Didn't stay long enough to give it a totally fair review but what I experienced was good.
Good food, good tunes, big servings
Good pizza, service was a little slow but overall a good experience.
Love the music and the vibe here. If you like classic rock and a chill environment, this is the place. Staff is always nice and fast service
Great bar - lovely staff
Great calamari and beer selection
Geat food. Sever Kaela was terrific!
Great place for a casual meal! Trendy with a great selection of food (from starters to salads to amazing pizzas and pasta), craft beers, cocktails and wine. Kid-friendly, popular with parents during the week. Nice patio in the back is the perfect place on Sundays to take advantage of their $2 4pm corking fee. BYOW people!! Only cons are the prices are a bit high for a casual meal. Especially the sweet potato fries. Last time I was there, we got some on the side and for $7.50 we got maybe a handful. Not worth the price. All in all its a great place to hang.
A charming bar where I simply can relax and enjoy some fine Italian and Continental pub food.
Good food good beer good service.
Awesome place for a dinner event. I had an event here with my coworkers, and the service and food were excellent. My friends also really liked the drinks here. Recommeded
This one star review is only for the breakfast I just had this morning. Normally I'd give Factory Girl 5 stars as their lunch and dinners I've had have been fantastic. Unfortunately, the breakfast wasn't anywhere close to the quality. First off the price. Normally at any restaurant, I get eggs with sausage and a side of bacon. And no eggs. Any restaurant I've been to includes a choice of meats with the meal. NOT Factory Girl. Meats were separate. I know the menu online says different, but the menu I got was NOT the same. Meat was charged separately. The meal was meh. Bacon was cold, and it was replaced with a hot portion. However, it was still chewy, almost as if it was leftovers reheated. I got one sausage. The potatoes were OK as was the toast. Coffee was also extra. The bill came and I was charged for everything, which really isn't an issue. However, pretty much any other restaurant I've been to where I don't have the eggs, either give me a break on the bill, or throw in extra portions of meat, fruit, something. This morning, nothing. Total cost without tip was about $23 which was way over priced considering the quality, I had no eggs, and the price of other breakfasts on the Danforth. I did mention all of this to the waitress who was great and said she'd pass on the info. Overall, I probably won't eat breakfast at Factory Girl again, but will continue their Lunch and Dinner items.
At the first moment you come to that restaurant the personel give you an excellent feeling. Very friendly crew, it is a kind restaurant to to go out with friends and colleagues or with your date. tasty food, experienced chef de cuisine, comfortable pay and courteous service. Highly recommended.
Fantastic food and great atmosphere.
Good food, friendly service although a little slow.
Best pizza in town! I'll just say this because i feel it really puts in perspective the review: i'm italian born and raised, moved to canada three years ago with a bunch of colleagues from Italy for work. So we're out to town and looking for a quick bite and a beer, so we walk in the Factory Girl, and ordered pizza expecting nothing special.. well, it blew our minds! Best pizza in the country so far hands down! That's the real deal: wood oven, 00 flour, well balanced ingredients, cooked to perfection! It has become our to go pizza place in a heartbeat!
I only stayed for a drink, but it's a very nice bar. Will return.
Amazing food with great service. Grest low prices!
Good food quality and trendy atmosphere
Good food, drinks and service
The place was great vibes! The food was just ok, but I think we should have ordered the pizza (it looked really good) .. we had calamari and rigatoni pasta. It was ok, but not great. The bartender was really nice though, and a great server!
Nice pub. Good back patio and super friendly staff.
Great staff, great drinks, great food, great decor...shut up and just go check it out.
Great place for pizza and grub before a show at danforth music Hall. Selection on tap was fantastic.
Food is decent.
Great Food! Great Service!
Great drinks, great service, great atmosphere overall
Slow service, food is just okay and salad was very small for the price and barely any toppings on salad. The backyard patio is nice but wouldn't rush back there
Great burgers great fries a little pricey not the greatest vibe
Great meal, well priced and the waitress was kind and efficient.
Great staff, food, drinks. Accomodating
Meal type
Friendly neighborhood bar. Reasonable prices. Well thought out menu. Great food
The Lorenzo pizza might just have been the best pizza I've ever had!
I recently went to Factory Girl for dinner with a friend. The food and atmosphere were both very good and I would definitely go back again.
This has to be one of Toronto's best restaurants! Every time I have friends and family visiting from out of town, a trip to Factory Girl is always in order and the experience never disappoints! From the awesome servers to the mouthwatering food, Factory Girl definitely has something for everyone! Keep on being awesome!!
Nice back patio and excellent wood fired pizza. Great service and friendly staff.
Great survive wonderful atmosphere will be visiting again!
Great staff
Delicious pizza! Staff is super friendly and fast. Will definitely return in the future!
Great pizza
The food is good here, maybe a bit overpriced, but worth it.
Great service great beer and delicious food. Very welcoming environment for a relaxing lunch.
I usually really like this place but I came on a Saturday night alone and I was ignored I suppose because I was just a single woman. It was so long I had to go inside off the patio and ask for the bill. The waiter kept attending to tables surrounding me that were couples.He did not check in with me and ask if I wanted anything else. I had to walk in to the guy at the door who was actually very polite. I have come here a few times before and have had good service. Their tacos are really good. I know they get busy in the evening but I'm still a paying customer and am not less important because I am alone.
Great food and service. Just have to be aware of events at the Music Hall down the street and if there's something really popular, book a table. Great wine list, casual dining. Patio in the summer is really nice and fenced in, so private.
Great staff and owner. Highly recommended.
5$ Caesars are all I needed to hear. Tasty pizzas and calamari also made my day!
Good food & decent beer selection
The Best Place Ever!
Perfectly portioned brunch, great service and a pleasant dining atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyable!
Nice little place. Wings are gteat
Stopped in for a quick bite while in the neighborhood. Great service! Wife loved her chicken tacos and while the Ahi tuna tacos I had we're good, I would have loved a bit more jalapeno to give it a bit of a kick. Still a solid experience and would come back in a heartbeat.
Factory Girl just might be Toronto's best bar/restaurant. Awesome beer and wine selection, friendly and gorgeous staff, and to date the best pizza I have ever had. Great for a date with the wife, and a sweet spot to get some buddies together and watch a leaf game. Keep up the good work FG.
Excellent food! We had the pulled pork and the Factory Pizza and they were both delicious.
Great beer selection, but the waitress had a it too much energy. Wasn't really in the mood to deal with that much perk!
Went here for a few drinks before a concert. Whilst I was paying for my drinks and about to get other money out to leave a tip. A waitress came up to me very rudely and said its rude to not leave a tip. She had assumed I wasn't leaving a tip simply because I was getting ready to go and didn't put money on the table quick enough to give them a tip. You can be sure I didn't leave a tip after that. You treat me like that then you will get no tip. Will also not be ever returning. The tip that was going to go to them also was given to a homeless person instead.
I had lunch there today. First visit. Took a seat at the bar. I had the Salvatore pizza. It was very tasty and larger than I expected. The girl working at the bar was very friendly, and provided perfect service. I left feeling very satisfied.
Food was delicious, hands down the best calamari I've ever had. Amazing service and great wine selection. Would highly recommend eating here!
Above average food at above average prices. Good atmosphere.
Lots of great beer options, nice atmosphere, however food in only okay compared to other similar establishments.
Great rock n' roll pub next to the Danforth Music Hall. Great music, food and, beer selections.
Great staff, they make you feel welcome and a nice slection of of taps. Definitely a place to visit.
Great place to get food late into the evening.
Factory Girl is my new favorite place on the Danforth. The food is great and the prices are very reasonable. The service is amazing and friendly they make my son and I feel at home.
Ate here for the first time today Nov 8 2019 . Had the halibut & chips wich came super fast (less than 10 minutes ) and was delicious . Reasonably priced , great friendly service , will be going back soon . R. Anderson .
I friend took me to this place and told me that Factory Girl was a song by the Rolling Stones. I had no idea, but inside there were plenty of Rolling Stones memorabilia. Interesting. The food was fine, nothing to write home about, I just thought the place was a little bit out of ambient amongst all the Greek joints on the Danforth.
Over priced with free hair! A poutine, 2 lbs. Of wings with fries and 4 pints cost $125! The food was nothing special unless you count the long hair my husband choked on. He was hungry and ate the rest of the food while waiting for the waitress to return. The staff didn't seem to bothered by the long hair in his food. They looked at me as if it was mine. I don't know how my hair got woven through his wing breading.
Huge pub that goes back for miles right to the cool patio. Good selection of beer and wine and the food is always good.
The brunch was amazing. I was pleasantly surprised
Solid pub food, decent beer list
Good atmosphere, lots of classic rock music playing quietly, good service, and a darn fine cheddar grill cheese
Love the back patio in the warm weather, as well as the great beers on tap. Food is pretty good too.
My second time at Factory Girl: staff is friendly and efficient and the food was good. I ordered a pizza and it was very well made. I'll be back.
The staff's got some real ones. If that kind of thing speaks to you.
Solid pizza. Standard tap selection. Service was ok.
The Lorenzo pizza is a must try on their menu! Will be back next to try the Salvatore pizza! Great ambiance! so happy i found this place!
Service was great. I tried to have a "I'm a vegan" pizza.. and want to try another menu next time.
Nice and cozy Perfect for a pint after work
Excellent pizza!
Great back patio. Food is good and local beer selection is excellent.
Best spot on Danforth!
Food was somewhat mediocre but the atmosphere & service was great
Delicious food. It's my go to spot! Super friendly owner and staff. Would 100% recommend.
Such a nice spot to go for a drink after work and share a bite. The wings are so, so good.
Food is average. Drinks are good however on occasion the glasses tend to smell as a result of using old rags to dry wet glasses.
Great place on the Danforth for eats and drinks before the show at The Danforth Music Hall. Place is named after a Rolling Stones song and has rock memorabilia pics hanging everywhere and great tunes on the sound system. Service was fast and friendly with a solid menu for food and drink.
We walk in...they talk to us from across the restaurant no personal interaction what so ever...the server hands us our menus then immediately before we even open the menu stands over us and asks for our drink orders. We asked for a mojhito and a sprite she brings out a coke and a shoddy cocktail... when she takes our food orders my order was the ahi tuna tacos with NO jalapeno peppers when she brings it out they are covered in them... then when I bring it to her attention all she has to say is oh sorry and took them back... that's 2 big mess ups in one order... I'm definitely never eating here again
Great place for lunch. Quiet, clean. Very nice selection of beers. We shared a pizza, which was perfect for lunch. Will be back for sure!
Cool atmosphere and great food
Nice selection of beers and whiskies available here along with some great tasting food. The tables are a little tight but the ambience is pleasant as is the staff.
I have never had a bad experience here. Its probably my favorite place on the danforth that isn't greek food. I plan brunches here, I've watched the game here. We have "film family brunch" here as many times a year as we can. The food is always amazing although I usually stick to the meatballs with a couple slices of bread for me to dunk in their AMAZING SAUCE. I have actually taken my leftover sauce home to drip a grilled cheese in later. I have however tried other things on their menu and enjoyed them all. The service is always attentive and friendly. They keep my coffee with Bailies coming. There are parking options very close to it. Its a hit with whoever I bring there. Its a great stop to meet up with a friend or family.
Incredibly loud. No plastic screens between tables. Packed in like sardines. Food was fresh and tasty. Good service, however I think they could have told this one table of 6 women to lower their screams and laughter. It was really, really loud.
Always delish, esp the pizza. Service can be slow on the patio
Great spot, great people.
Great service, nice patio.
Food was decent. However, they serve their red wine by the glass way too cold. I was told it had just come from the fridge. Yikes. The ideal serving temperature for red wine is anywhere between 60 and 68 degrees fahrenheit – a few degrees below room temperature. Fridge temperature is typically between 34 degrees and 42 degrees Fahrenheit which is way too cold for any red wine.
Always great.
Only came in for drinks and they had a decent selection of Ontario craft. Fast and friendly service.
This place rocks! The house pizzas are phenomenal. Great crowds after the music hall finishes there performance. Definitely a music lovers hangout.
Great food and service. Just have to be aware of events at the Music Hall down the street and if there's something really popular, book a table. Great wine list, casual dining. Patio in the summer is really nice and fenced in, so private.
The food was good but it was the excellent service that stole the show.
Great wings
The service was bizarre. Multiple wrong orders, had to ask for ketchup four times, bills messed up and we were the only table so it wasn't about being overwhelmed. My pizza was tasty though, but undercooked crust. Probably one of the strangest dining experiences I've ever had.
Nice atmosphere with good looking servers
Dine in
Due to Covid19 I deleted my comment and lower star rating for this restaurant. Everyone needs support now
Great place for a girl's night. Cocktails and varied dinner menu with vegetarian options to please everyone.
Good vibe, food and Aperol Spritz
The staff are super friendly and helpful. You really can't go wrong with anything on their menu, but their wood-fired pizza is the standout menu option. I got the factory pizza and it was fantastic. I'm a pretty big guy and I still ended up taking a quarter of it home. If you're looking great pizza or looking for a change from the excellent Greek food in the area, Factory Girl is definitely not a place to miss.
Really nice patio and establishment with many beers to choose from
Great bar and excellent service
Nice ambience and Giovanni pizza is amazing
Great food & great staff!!
Great service. Try their pizza.
Good good and great place to catch up with friends. Very extensive wine beer and whiskey list...
Great place on the Danforth.
Great pub on the danforth
I've never ordered anything here I didn't like. The macaroni and cheese is my favorite!
Awesome vibe, great food, exceptional beer! I can't wait to visit again
Our usual go-to place for informal dining in Greektown. The food is good (I particularly like the pizzas) and there's a good selection of craft beers on tap. Nice back patio too.
I've never ordered anything here I didn't like. The macaroni and cheese is my favorite!
An absolutely outstanding Restaurant and Pub, food was excellent and a great selection of beer taps. I haven't experienced an establishment with as much personality and gorgeous music collection anywhere in the world. It's a history lesson on every wall. I can't recommend this place enough ????♥️
Great service, very nice atmosphere :)
Great food, lovely staff and good music.
The place is actually fairly large and the food menu looks great - Italian inspired. The beer and scotch lists are solid but the wines are too California-centric. Good atmosphere with most people in their 30s or 40s. It did get quite loud once it filled though.
Nice atmosphere with good looking servers
Good service, great patio, good beer selection.
Awesome pizza! I suggest the Barney.
We spent a very enjoyable evening at Factory Girl last night, Sunday, Sept. 5th. The food, specially the crab cakes were superb. Service was also excellent. All in all, for a casual evening out, I would highly recommend Factory Girl. As an aside, I actually own the Rolling Stones vinyl album with their song, Factory Girl, on it. Its their Beggars Banquet album!
For a great time and good food head on down, you won't be disappointed
Great calamari
Love the fish and chips; especially the fresh fries. Pizza is way better than you’d expect for a bar too. But for a place that’s named after a Rolling Stones song that has walls full of music posters i have to say that it’s disappointing how little music is actually a part of the place. Couldn’t even hear the music on a Saturday night. So yeah, it’s a nice place to grab some solid bar food with a couple friends if you really want to talk. It’s great for large groups. Our waitress was incredible, but also dripping in sweat. Surprised how little help she had for a Saturday night. Once the theatre crowd came in it was pretty hard to get quick service.
Great place, great music
Great pizzas, good beer & scotch selection. What more do you need?
Great pizzas with friendly servers and a lovely patio.
serve great food, and make you smile when you leave
