Don’t come here on a Saturday. The server is incapable of managing 4 tables that arrived at different times. It took over 10 minutes to get a fountain pop and another table waited over 30 minutes. The food is fine but it’s not worth the aggravation of the terrible service.

My girlfriend and I have given this place three chances - no more. The woman who runs the bar on Saturdays is completely incompetent. It took almost 10 minutes for her to even address us after we walked in. Why? Because she was chatting to the regulars at the bar and arguing with her child (yes, her ~12 year old son was sitting at the bar during lunch). 10 minutes later, we got our drinks. It’s been another 20 minutes now and our food is nowhere in sight. It shouldn’t take 40 minutes to get served a few sandwiches in a bar that is 25% full at lunch time on a Saturday.
Not sure how the food is going to be today, but the quesadilla and fajitas I’ve had in the past were nowhere near worth the wait or the price.

We only did take out this time but they were super attentive and it’s always a good vibe when we go

I've been a resident of this neighborhood for over 20 years, and it's disheartening to see how Gabbys has declined. Tonight, after being seated on the patio, we waited 15 minutes only to be told we couldn’t be served there due to a complaint from the previous night. Unfortunately I’ve had odd incidents similar at this location as well. Not only has the service gone down hill but the food quality is not far behind… We ended up walking a few blocks further south to right wings where we received fantastic service, food and drinks ! PS they also use an automated response to low reviews… they don’t actually make effort to right their wrongs.

Our recent visit to Gabby’s Bar was quite disappointing. After sitting on the patio for almost 20 minutes, we were informed that we couldn’t dine outside due to a complaint from the previous night. To clarify, our group was not causing any disturbance; we simply wanted to enjoy a meal outdoors.
This isn’t the first time we’ve encountered poor service at Gabby’s Bar. Frustrated by the experience, we decided to take our business to the Right Wing nearby, where we enjoyed excellent service and a pleasant atmosphere.
For those considering Gabby’s Bar, I advise caution. Based on our repeated negative experiences, there are far better dining options in the Young and Eglinton area that offer superior food quality and customer service.

Don’t go here if you’re expecting to get in and out during your lunch break. By the time our order was taken and food was served it took 40 mins. Then server was nowhere to be seen to get our bill. We all ended up being late to return to work. Place was busy and other customers all seemed upset. Server seemed completely oblivious to this…

Good local pub. Good taps. Good in the community. I do wish they play the sound when the leaves are in the playoffs cuz that's fun too for the locals. I'll be back though I like it there.
Very nice host. Visited here for several Thursday late night drinks. Stayed till closing. The host has been very accommodating.

I love this place! It's the original location out of all the franchises and has been a neighborhood fixture for over 30 years. Best wings and people in the area....

The nachos and wings were not up to par, and the waiter appeared overworked. However, the ambiance was conducive to enjoying a drink. Nachos is one of the easiest to prepare but was by far the worst one i have ever had.
