| - I can hardly believe it's been over half a year of my Yelping and I haven't yet reviewed Sneaky Dee's!!!!! Good gravy, what have I been waiting for?!?!
I was introduced to Sneaks within a week of moving to the city many moons ago; not quite sober yet not quite trashed, I came across their guac and nachos and fell in love. I've gone through many Must Have's over the years (my current are the Greek Nachos with guac), and never been disappointed. Well....except with the poutine (Sorry, SD, but you're tex mex! Stick with those goods). I have only been able to order an alcoholic beverage a handful of times I've been, and I usually go with a Big Wheel, but the fact they HAVE Big Wheel does say something.
The service wavers: some nights have been exceptional, with our server coming and checking on us and bringing our tipsy selves jug after jug of water, while other nights we've wondered if our booth is located in an alternate universe which can't be seen by mere mortals. Sometimes pretentious and haughty, other times laid back with the relaxation of someone you'd like to have join your party, if they weren't to bring you your beloved nachos in the next 15 minutes. That said, these guys deserve a lot of props for handling the sheer number of drunken idiots (self included, at times!) until 4:30 or 5am.
I've been a handful of times to the concerts and dance parties upstairs as well. Saturday night's Shake a Tail leads to line ups down College Street. An enjoyable evening, usually topped off with, you guessed it, a trip downstairs, though that does require potentially lining up again.
An institution in Toronto; if you're coming for a visit, or have just moved into town, you really must check it out!
