T-Bones Sizzling Steaks & Burgers Drive-In Restaurant

Definitely a good value. The 16oz steak is flavourful and tender. Comes with a salad and another side of your choice. too bad it’s far from my house. Would love to visit more often.

Steak burger and fries for $ 6+tax at 1 a.m., you can’t go wrong! High as hell and it was sooooo good. You’d be an idiot if you didn’t go here.

You definitely don’t come here for the atmosphere but for the price for steak, you can’t beat it. I had the 8 oz York sirloin steak which came with a huge serving of potatoes and salad. The potatoes were not roasted but more boiled/​steamed with lots of sauce on it. However, it did not deter from what we got. I ended up sharing with my husband who got the chef salad with grilled chicken. The chef salad is left to be desired as its just mainly iceberg lettuce with some sliced tomatoes and cucumber. But its worth it for the steak. As well, be careful that when you need to add fried onions and mushroom on top of the steak, they charge extra. We were charged extra and realized near the end of the meal, there were no fried onions or mushroom on it which made us leaving slightly disappointed that we got a bit ripped off.

Been going here for at least 4 years now and food quality hasnt changed and still at its best! One suggestion though for the owners: INVEST ON RENOVATING AND TIDYING UP THE APPEARANCE AND DESIGN OF THE RESTAURANT! Tons of people for sure visit your food place ²⁴⁄₇ everyday and you guys have the money to do some renovations. Its not as bright outside when the night comes and it looks sketchy as hell. Anyways, when it comes to food, they offer a lot of selections to choose from. The steaks are mouthwatering and huge in portions! Wait time varies on every visit depending on how busy they are. If you visit Scarborough, you must definitely visit Tbonez and cry later for devouring such well done Steak and potatoes

A steak place that was different from others as this was more like a fast food joint. How can you go wrong with a $ 14.99 steak special that comes with salad and a side of mash, potatoes or fries!
Steak was cooked to my liking. Mash was a little cold, salad didnt have enough dressing.
The only thing about this joint that i didnt like was how smokey it was as we dined in. Not sure if this is something on the regular or not but just make sure you prepare yourself for your ride home as you’ll smell like smoke. Ill see you again!

Went there around 10:30pm after work for take out it was slighty busy. I ordered a burger combo since the usual meal I get was more expensive than I remember.
I waited 20 mins and still never heard my number called finally I went up to the cooks and told them the problem after another 10 mins they called me. When I got home to eat the burger was chard beyond believe they forgot my cheese as well as my gravy on the side which the gravy there is amazing.
This is a good place to go at like 3am when ur in a pinch after the club hen there’s nowhere else to go. Other them that run!!!

Decided to order their 16 oz steak special for $ 14.99 which includes a side choice of mash, fries and something else I forgot with side salad which I feel is a great deal. Steak was tender and juicy as I ordered mine medium rare. The mash and gravy was also good and I enjoyed the whole dinner. Definitely coming back for more!

Let me start by saying that I love steak, and I like T-​Bones because I can get a steak 24 hours a day at a really low price.
Sure the décor is kind of like your high school cafeteria, and food is served in much the same manner, but we’re talking a 16 oz steak dinner for under $ 15. That includes the fries, salad and bun. Hard to go wrong. Maybe the steak is not the quality of the Jacobs or even The Keg, and maybe the cooking is somewhat erratic, but it is under $ 15, so it’s all about value.
In case you think it’s all about the steaks, they have great burgers. My kids love their burgers, and they are perennial «Best of Scarborough» winners in the burger category. The 8 oz sirloin burger is made in-​house, and it’s big, greasy and delicious!
And to start your day off right, load up on the steak and eggs.
Absolutely the best hangover or late night munchies spot.

You get what you pay for… Steaks are cheap and are ok at best.
Mister got the 8oz sirloin with fries, salad and a bun on the side. Would definitely not recommend the cut. Missus on the other hand was quite pleased with the 12oz rib eye and had mushrooms, salad, mash with gravy, and a bun on the side. Both meals came out to $ 30.
If all you’re craving is a slab of meat and you’re on a tight budget, this place will satisfy.

Came here on the recommendation of an acquaintance.
Had a NewYork steak, mushrooms garden salad and roast potato for about $ 15. Ordered steak rare — delivered medium-​well and luke-​warm; mushrooms from a tin; roast potatoes barely warm; garden salad good. You get what you pay for, I’d rather pay more and get more.
I’ll not be there for a steak again, maybe a hamburger some day.

so this is a place that has been on my «must go» list for a long time and i finally went because a friend urged me to.
came for lunch and ordered the steak special.
16oz sirloin steak, i prefer mine rare but may ask for blue rare next time.
it also comes with a side caesar salad, dinner roll, and from what i heard the option of fries or mashed potatoes. i got the mashed taters and added on some gravy and also bought a bottle of water which ended up costing me a little under $ 18 after everything? if ur just going to get the the steak special it’ll b $ 13.49 + tax.
there are other options too, steak and eggs breakfast etc etc but i digress.
u’d be surprised how many restaurants can screw up a simple caesar salad. t-​bones is not one of these restaurants. thank goodness. dinner roll is a dinner roll, not a big deal. mashed potatoes and gravy were really good. gravy definitely is they key part to that combo. and the steak. my steak was cooked pretty good. maybe not as rare as i would’ve liked but likei mentioned above, i might get blue rare next time, so u can kinda see that im into sinking my teeth into the flesh and tasting the blood and juices. LOL
meal was delicious, i’ll definitely be going back. well worth the money.
I’ve been told the late night chef is the best. and this place is 24 hours. BONUS!

Deserves good stars, just for the fact that you can get a «proper» 16oz steak for under $ 15, i mean, how cool is that?
The steak was really good, might i say better than some of the very expensive ones i have had. We had NY steak, and it is the size of an elephant!
The gravy sauce on mashed potatoes is just yummyy!
by no means does it look as fancy as most steakhouses, has a very retro feeling to it.
There is plenty of seating space so it is pretty good for good groups.
they will ask you for addons on your steak, like mushrooms and onions, I like the mushrooms, the onions were too sweet and oily.
It’s self service, so you’d order a steak and pay, would be given an order number and get called out by the number.
did I mention that the place is ²⁴⁄₇? YES YES, you heard that right, you can have steak anytime your evil mind craves it! :D

Best place to grab a quick and delicious dinner if you are a meat lover! Super affordable steaks in different cuts also. The restaurant is definitely not the most appealing and one may think twice of eating there (I know I have) but this place offers so much for so little. You can get a full meal for less then $ 10 – 15 dollars! And these are legit steaks too! I can’t believe it’s taken us so long to try this place.

Wow, I have not come down here for years! It’s still the same old place. Smokey, dingy and old 70 ‘s/80’s charm. Lol. The only things that change its the counter staff and cooks. I got nosy and asked the cashier if it changed management, but she says it’s still the same old boss, but he comes down once in awhile.
I was really craving for meat on Saturday night and I just happened to remember this place.
I always can’t resist the Sirloin Steak Special. 16 oz Sirloin, salad, potatoes (mash or roast) and a dinner roll all for $ 12.95. WOW WHEE. Anything extra is charged. Like gravy, mushrooms, onions and drinks.
The steak is not melt in your mouth type and it’s naturally flamed grilled. It tasted pretty good actually ! Better then having me cooking over a hot grill making all that stuffs. Lol.
I will for sure be back for more! YUMMY!
Oh, did I mention? It’s open 24 hours!!!
Place is a dive but if you want to eat meat at a cheap price. This is the place to go

YAY! I AM A FAN. YAYAYAY.
When my boyfriend told me there was a place that serves huge steaks for under $ 15, I couldn’t believe it. I’m too used to seeing 6oz steaks for $ 30+. then I came here, and I was shocked. The place itself is pretty smokey inside and it looks like one of those restaurants that you go into when you’re on a roadtrip at 2am. Not the best ambiance or the cleanest, but I can deal with that for cheap steak.
The steak special is my fave, even though I’ve never finished it. 16oz NY sirloin with side of mashed potatoes/​fries, bread and caesar salad for $ 13ish. DAMNNNN. There’s also other steak choices (rib eye, t-​bone, chopped) and sizes. The place also sells burgers, breakfast and other stuff like that but I’ve never tried. HEY, going to a place where the steak is $ 12 – 13 and getting a burger is WEAK. AND THOSE WHO DO IT WILL NOT SURVIVE NATURAL SELECTION.
The workers here are efficient and they move fast through orders and cooking it. The only thing I’m not a fan of is the area… it’s so sketchy, I’m having thoughts that I may be robbed as I’m eating my meal. Also many sketchy and drunk people that come in (hey, let’s be honest. if I was drunk too and in the area, hell yeah I’d want a cheap steak meal!) I saw a drunk man in here once with a whole bottle of jack daniels stuffed into one jacket pocket and he was eating his steak by just grabbing it and stuffing it into his mouth. Savage. Then he proceeded to get into a fight with some other guy. not a fan of shenanigans like that.

Ah this place is the bomb!
Nice small place located in Scarborough, it can be a bit sketchy… the food though! So the steak here is amazing for the price you get! 16oz steak for $ 13! with a side of fries/​mash and salad dannnnnnng man what a deal!
The staff is very friendly and quick paced as this place is a ²⁴⁄₇ that’s right ²⁴⁄₇! They have a breakfast menu too! Has the same steak options plus eggs, this place is the bomb literally! I usually order the 16oz T-​bone and my gf usually gets the NYC steak and hmm always delicious! There are times where the size isn’t always the same but hey the price $ 13 is pretty bomb… or maybe its because i’m chinese and i like cheap food that is filling!
I remember one time this drunk fella came in and nearly started a fight with this 6’2 dude… So some nights can be a bit sketchy… but it is random so obviously not every night will be like that. Plus if any danger does happen, there is a fire station across the building! The parking lot is quite small so you may have to park in the plaza beside.

The building is not hard to find. It has a big sign with its name on it and is its own building.
This isn’t your usual steak house, steak joint. The seating seems more like a fast food place and is a bit dated. However, the food and price makes up for it! For $ 13.50 we got a 16oz steak with a salad and a choice of fries mashed potatoes or baked potatoes (If I remember correctly). This was enough to fill me and my friend, one order. That may be because we both don’t eat a lot, but it was enough. We were surprised.
We asked for medium rare. The steak was not cooked evenly throughout but it was still good and edible. Some parts were more cooked and some parts less. It wasn’t because of the thickness of the steak either. But it was still tasty! Surprisingly minimal fat.
Oh, we ordered the rib eye. Would definitely recommend this place to all the meat eaters! Will be going back soon :) for the price, this is an amazing place.

For what you pay for, this meal is pretty good. I ordered their burger + fries combo ($ 5.99), added a large soda ($ 2.50) and some gravy ($ 0.69) — my meal came out to be $ 10.15. Fries weren’t great; they were a bit soggy. Burger wasn’t moist, but it wasn’t dry; I can’t really complain since the actual size of the burger was quite generous (8 oz). My dinner mates ordered a 16 oz steak + potato + salad combo for, I think, around $ 15.
At first glance, this place seemed to typify Scarborough restaurants (in my opinion); the décor seemed to be at least a couple decades old, the room was smoky (from the grilling), and the lighting was somewhat dim. However, the place was quite filled for a Thursday evening and they had a decent sized lineup going on; suggesting that this place is a regular spot for people who live in the area.
Now, the women’s bathroom — there was one stall in operation and the lock was broken. The door wasn’t even properly aligned with the stall wall so I had to actually force the door closed. The two soap dispensers next to the sink weren’t actually filled with soap; instead, the soap was in a mustard squeeze bottle. Their bathroom situation didn’t affect my rating — I just thought it was interesting that they have two soap dispensers but opted to use a squeeze bottle instead.
While I wouldn’t make a special trip to come back here, I wouldn’t refuse to come back if someone suggested it.

Great steaks for low prices! My bf is a meat lover and he loves this place. Nowhere else he can order a 32oz sirloin with sides for $ 26.99. Quality of steak is good. Love that it’s open 24hrs.

T-​Bones is Toronto east end’s answer to Master Steaks on the west end. Both are steak diners. Both have a no décor/​down to earth venue. Both have been in business for such a long time that they are qualified as a local institution rightfully. Both sell steaks cooked to order at unbelievably low prices. For the same order, the prices are similar; I think the difference is less than $ 1.
The differences: T-​Bones has a better lighted interior. It seems cleaner as well. Master Steaks, on the other hand, has more selections of meat. T-​Bones only offers T-​bones steaks, rib eye steak, NY sirloins and hamburger. Master Steaks also sells, on top of these, pork ribs, Porterhouse steak, Delmonico steak, chicken breast and souvlaki. Lastly, T-​Bones opens 24 hours a day, and Master Steaks opens 19 hours a day.
The steak at T-​Bones is not at steakhouse level, but it tastes decent, and it definitely tastes the best for the money you spend. My medium rare rib eye steak was flavourful (aka I tasted the salt). It was tender and easy to chew through. My BF’s sirloin steak was flavourful and tender as well. We ordered garden salad and baked potatoes as sides. The salad with Thousand Island dressing was fresh. I don’t enjoy the «boiled» not baked potato much.
The cashier here was friendly and efficient.
Both T-​Bones and Master Steaks offer sensational value. I love them both for the combined value of price, portion and food.
Overall, 4 solid stars. Food only, 3 stars.
