| - I love the food at Hogtown but it just doesn't love me back. I have a hard time digesting oily deep-fried foods so I have to go home & lie down after eating here. But oh maaan..It is heavy, starchy, oily, salty American-style comfort food goodness and it doesn't pretend to be anything else. If you're looking for a healthy meal, you will not find it here (quit complaining and just go to the other 5738384 veg places in Toronto that serve grain bowls and salads!). This place converted my junk-food addicted husband to veganism because he knew he wouldn't be missing a thing.
I love the Unchicken & Waffles, Tofu Wings, Fries Supremacy, the Pulled Unpork, and the Philly Cheesesteak. The Mac n Cheese is damn good, too. Never once made it to dessert because its just too filling.
I went for brunch though and wasn't too impressed. The French toast was inedible due to how deep-fried it was (grease was pouring off it as I lifted it..I can't..all you can taste is oil) and the Reuben Sandwich was lacklustre but not awful. Some evenings they are so overwhelmingly busy that the food & service does suffer, which is a bit of a deterrent.
Otherwise, this is THE PLACE to have THE MOST fatty vegan meal of your life. Take your omni friends and show them that you don't just eat rabbit food. Maybe have a Tums handy after and take an Uber home so you can nap immediately.
