Gabby’s – Guildwood Village Shopping Centre
Four of us visited Gabby’s in the Guildwood Village Shopping Centre yesterday for lunch. The restaurant opened last year, and this was our first time there. After seeing so many great reviews online, we decided to check it out.
We were greeted right away and seated where we preferred. Our server, Sarah, was wonderful—friendly, attentive, and helpful in guiding us with our drink choices.
Between the four of us, we ordered:
Chicken wings with fries
Onion rings
Garlic bread
Buffalo chicken wrap with fries
Braised beef stone-fired pizza
Everyone agreed the food was excellent. I had the pizza, and it was sensational—the beef was tender and perfectly portioned, pairing beautifully with the onions and mushrooms.
The restaurant has a great atmosphere, whether you’re enjoying a meal on the patio, dining indoors, or sitting at the bar surrounded by plenty of TVs. Service was impeccable. The washrooms were very clean, though they are located in the basement. If you’ve had a few drinks, you might prefer the accessible washroom on the main floor, as the stairs are steep.
We all agreed we will definitely be back—there are so many other tempting menu items we want to try. The amazing service we received from Sarah made the experience even more enjoyable.
Thank you, Gabby’s!

I came to this place today because I wanted to try something new, I haven't had chicken wings in a while, it's across the street from the TIFF Lightbox, and the closest place from the Lightbox with a TouchTunes machine. Now, I liked their mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce and I love the medium chicken wings. The dessert I had being the chocolate lava cake with ice cream and chocolate sauce was good too. The problem was that it costs so much for all that food and the marinara sauce had tomato pieces in it. The bigger problem was the restaurant not letting me play some of my music. I like some classical and jazz music once in a while, but when a song from their playlist was over, I put on a song from the TouchTunes app. I picked "Echo" by Trapt because actress Michelle Trachtenberg was in the music video for that song and I hadn't been taking her death very well. The male server and the customers he was conversing with didn't like that song, saying someone changed the song on the jukebox. So, the male server shut off the song somehow and it went back to the classical music. Like what a bunch of jerks. That's like a waste of two TouchTunes credits right there. The female servers were nice. I will say that. My server Lisa with the belly button ring is a cutie and took good care of me during my time here. So, kudos to her and she will be a great actress one day. I doubt I will come back here. Not because of the whole TouchTunes thing or the price of my bill, but I live far away from Toronto anyway. I still give huge props to the medium wings, the cake, the decor, and the waitress who served me.

Came in for a pint after a stroll in the area; beautiful little summer patio. Feels like a small town experience. Smoking allowed in the ally in the back, and they have a cute bench hidden away. Beer was cold, service with a smile. Definitely would recommend.

Gabbys on Egington East use to be a great place to go. Fun karaoke and very nice staff. The bar has changed hands and now I would not give them the time of day, the difference is huge.

Gabby's Bloor at Bloor and Prince Edward is one of the great food stops along the Kingsway. Eventhough Gabby's is a franchise operation, this location stands out above most of the pubs in the area. The BOH cooks, lead by Siva and the other cooks creates specials of the day that is above the value, taste and satisfaction on a y given day. The FOH staff , Bev, Judy and Sarah knows the menu and caters to the regular patrons however takes time to make families and first timer at the restaurant feel welcome . Kumar , the owner, maintains personal relationship with customers and takes time to say 👋 hello,.
I support local business and I recommend visiting Gabby's Bloor .
Cheers and happy dining

I came to gabbys after doing some Christmas 🎄 shopping. I was so tired and hungry and just wanted to relax. It was busy in there, but not overwhelming. The bartender acknowledged me right away, introduced herself as Judy. I ordered a pint of beer and asked for the menu. I wasn't sure of what to get. Everything looked so good. She recommended the special which was half price wings. There were many options of sauces. I chose the Parmesan Caesar. It was out of this world delicious 😋 I absolutely recommend it. I was satiated. Judy asked if I would like another beer. I was going to go home. But I felt very comfortable and I felt like hanging out a bit longer. When she wasn't busy, we talked for a bit and she complimented me on my pink hat. She made me feel good and we shared some laughs. Overall an enjoyable atmosphere and the bartender on duty was professional and friendly. I will definitely go back for these wings and welcoming staff.
