We enjoyed a wonderful lunch outside on their patio in January! Their torch burger was fantastic, and their Moroccan steak salad was the best salad I’ve had in a long time. Friendly service and a relaxing atmosphere. We will be back for sure.

Been going here for years. The service is great, all the food is great, sitting by the fire is relaxing, and the prices are very reasonable. Trivia night is a great time too. Get the Hummus app and Torch burger or the seared tuna and a Mac side, you will not regret it!

Maybe it was a long day or something, but the wait staff got our order wrong and they didn't bring us silverware or napkins

Not at all the same since they changed the menu and took away all the GF options. Now it is the same as all the other so so burger joints. Not worth a trip. Bring the old chef/menu back PLEASE!!!

Best burgers in the 757. I've eaten at Torch for several years, and their latest menu iteration is top tier.

Quality is consistently top notch. Service is great.

Popped in for a quick bite. Great service - September was attentive and friendly. We both had delicious beers from Benchtop. Food was quick and so, so good! Bonus tip: dip the blackened tuna in the sauce that comes with the jalapeño pimento balls. 🤩 Pizza rolls are slam as well. We sat inside, but will be back to enjoy the nice outdoor space once it cools down!

Came in with my girlfriend for lunch and my order came out not how I asked for and had to ask for a remake. It seemed that they were dealing with some things outside of usual service so we didn’t mind the wait, but our server and the owner were extremely helpful and we were more than compensated for the delay. The food was delicious and we were pleased with the beer selection. We will definitely come back!

Why have a menu that has sharpie crossing out almost all the menu to show the food that you’re out of or no longer carrying. How are you not carrying or out of fries? The menu is a majority of sharpie lines so if you eat here you have very few options to choose from. Will definitely not be back here. They need a new menu and they need to actually carry food.

An empty dining room on a Friday should have been a clue to stay away. Nice selection of local beers and spirits, they should stick to that and that only. The food was inedible. The cab dip had a taste of mustard and was served Luke warm. The French onion soup looked like dirty bath water and we sent it back because there was no melted cheese on top. The bartender re-served us the soup and it was a piece of white bread with a deli slice of Swiss cheese. We tasted it and no flavor, the onions were still white and raw. To be honest it looked like Cambell's soup straight out of the can. The bartender served it and said, "well, he tried his best". We sent it back and refused to pay for it. This place is a complete whiff, avoid at all cost. Much better places to choose from.

Torch is an adequate name for the restaurant, I don't know if the air conditioner was not working but it was hot as hell which made the entire meal miserable. The food was mediocre at best, the fish with the fish and chips was not fully cooked and had an unfortunate texture. Our server was inattentive and didn't seem to care or even speak about the unrelenting and unwelcoming heat. Not sure where the good reviews are from but it definitely shouldn't be for the experience my family just had. $150 for 4 people including tip and definitely not worth it.
