Garden Deli

This place is horrible. Frozen everything that’s defrosted and put on a plate. Stick with the cheap beer for lunch.

This place is hard to find, but it’s a gem. It’s a true mom and pop shop that has consistent business year round.
The décor is dated, reminds me of some German house. I don’t even know what a German house is or looks like but it just gives me a vibe.
But the food is great for this area. Burger is solid option and never disappoints. I’ve had sandwiches and they are great. Their fries are always tasty, has a perfect crispiness to them.
Compared to other places in the area, this place is cheap for beers. Though I don’t think they open too late after work.
They accept all types of credit cards which is great! They are kind of a no-​nonsense kinda place, not too many pleasantries. They leave you alone to go about your food and discussion.

This place is the best-​kept secret in the city. If you don’t work in the immediate neighbourhood, you would never find the place. And if you do, you still need someone to point it out to you.
I’ve worked nearby on and off for the past 10 years, but I’m sure the place hasn’t changed in 20 years. The dine-​in room feels a bit like someone’s rec room. It’s comfortable and lacking pretensions of any sort. On a summer’s day, they have a great patio with plenty of tables and equal parts shade and sun.
I was inspired to write this review today while biting in to one of their great french fries. These are seriously the best fries I’ve had in a long time. Crisp, meaty, not too brown and not too greasy. They make a great club sandwich, a decent salad, and other office deli standards.
The family that runs the place are warm, friendly and attentive. Prices are reasonable. Great place for lunch or cheap beers with friends.
