| - Growing up in the suburbs of southern Ontario and then moving to a city known for its eclectic cuisine and accompanying foodie culture (which I do appreciate from time to time), I had yet to discover a place that has good dirty and extremely consistent (assembly-line) food....that is, apart from say, McDonalds. For me, Gabby's is that place. It's the Eastside Marios or Boston Pizza of Toronto. The chain provides a number of (smallish) neighbourhood locations (Roncesvalles, etc.), thereby preventing you from being surrounded by touristy types or a yuppie atmosphere. And from my experience, the wait staff have always been extremely friendly, courteous and alert. The kicker is that they have a beer of the day: a tall boy for $4.50. Mind you, they are not offering up to their customers any foreign or exotic brands - Bud and Canadian tend to be the regular choices. But hey, if you're going there in the first place, I'm sure you're the type of person who will be satisfied. Finally, a great place to meet old friends and bring (low-maintenance) dates.
