| - Love this place! Found it by accident one evening while looking for a place to get some grub before a show at the Sound Academy. Went back again a couple months later before a show at The Koolhaus.
This is a true hole-in-the-wall, the food is unhealthy, but very tasty. I had the chicken sandwich with BBQ sauce both times and a chocolate shake. The chicken is pieces of meat rather than one whole breast; which makes it messy when you add the BBQ, but the smaller pieces allow it to have more flavor because of how much more surface area touching the grill. The milkshakes are nice and thick, made with real ice cream, delicious. I've had the fries, which are nice, thick steak fries, and the onion rings, which taste great.
I will not get a burger, but that is only because I do not like my burgers cooked anymore than medium, and in Canada you have to get it medium-well or well. My friend did get a burger though, and he said it was great. He has had the Elvis milk shake (choc, peanut butter, banana) and says it is awesome.
The staff was friendly both times I've been there, no issues. I read someones complaint about the staff, but I've not come across that at Dan's.
The decor is hole-in-the-wall, it looks like the kind of place you get a greasy, unhealthy meal. But even with the decor, I don't feel it is dirty at all. Love the use of old bucket seats from cars and the cool condiment holders.
If you're hanging out in TO and want to have a nice, greasy meal, this is a great place to go. I will be back again for sure.
