Extra information:
*One of the Firkin Pubs all around Toronto
*Same menu everywhere
When you walk/drive around Toronto, I am sure you've seen at least 1 Firkin Pubs around. To be honest I didn't even know they all had different names and then Firkin and that they were all same franchise/brand.
Flatiron and Firkin is the one that's closest to my house so I decided to check it out one night.
All the Firkins are pub style and it has a laid back atmosphere with wooden interior and dimmed light.
They don't have many servers and we had to find ourselves a seat once we walked in.
When we walked in, my friend had to chase down a waiter to find a seat for us, and she def wasn't the friendliest.
Ordered: Irish Fries 4/5
*Waffle fries served with sour cream, diced green onions with melted cheese on top
*My friend was raving about these waffle fries so I had high expectations
*They are indded very delicious, crispy and crunchy on the outside
*For what it's called, there kind of cheaped out on the toppings
*It would have been so much better if it came with more toppings on top
*This was really good with ice cold beer
Ordered: BLT Sandwich 2/5
*Whole wheat bread and lots of turkey meat in the sandwich
*Mayo was served on side and the sandwich was really dry
*Big portion but the sandwich was just average
*Substituted regular french fries for waffle fries (extra cost)
*the sauce that was served with the waffle fries were really good
Summary: Firkin Pubs is not the place to go if you want to grab dinner, go there if you are grabbing beer and looking to chill for couple hours with friends.
