| - The Junction Kitchen & Bar is located in an industrial area right at Markham and Scarborough border. I went here with a group of friends on a Sunday evening and the venue was completely dead. There were only two other tables during our time there and you sort of wonder how they are surviving. I can only assume their business is great during the lunch hours on a weekday.
The menu selection is similar to a typical sports bar, but the choices are relatively limited. I ordered a Salmon salad for dinner as I was not too hungry after a BBQ and ordered grilled calamari and sweet potato fries to share. The Salmon Salad comes with mixed greens, oven dried tomatoes (I asked them to remove it), avocado and salmon filet topped with a lime salad dressing. The salad was average, the dressing was decent and it blended well with the salmon and make the salad taste kind of fresh. The calamari and sweet potato fries on the other hand, were below average.
The venue is HUGE with a huge projector television at the back (for World Cup/Sports), a live band stage set up and a pool table. What impressed me the most is this huge photo they put up on the side of the restaurant wall, the photo has one big star player from each soccer team in the world cup and I could not resist myself from taking a picture of it.
Overall, I think this restaurant was below average, but if there is a game night and you would like to go to a place with a big projector, that will have spaces without making reservation and do not want to travel too far, then this place would be sufficient. But if you are looking to sit down and enjoy a nice dinner, maybe another place would be a better option.
