Barton Snacks

I’ve walked by this place so many times and never dropped in. Recently, I was nearby and opted to pick something up here.
The menu had a lot of enticing options but I choose the Chilean beef hot dog for nostalgic-​sake. It was delicious. I did not want it to end. The toppings with fresh and the hot dog itself was hot and good quality. I had to wait about 10 minutes because the order ahead of me was big. But it was worth the wait despite my hanger. I can’t wait to try some tacos and their tater poutine. And ice cream sandwiches there look a amazing!

I love Barton snacks. Two tacos for 8 $ and I always get their secret menu desert «stoners paradise» open til 4 am and fresh ingredients. Kitchen staff is always working hard. Warning: if you don’t eat the tacos right away you’ll need a fork as the corn tortillas become soggy

Fun place, but the food is meh, the prices are too much for the meh you get and there are so many other, better options within a few doors. Even, dare I say it, Canadian House of Pizza and Garbage is a better overall value.

Nice yummy tacos. Interesting space. Service was a little slow. As far as value is concerned, I think it is ok.
Mostly suitable for takeout.

Speaking for the tacos, they are way too small for the price and at that rate I would like table service in a decent restaurant. But the tacos were tasty, nice crunchy toppings and the tortilla was fresh, but they are really only a few bites each. They were all made to order (which meant a long wait, I don’t mind) but the service was incredibly unorganized considering it was only us and one other customer. The place is run-​down, I’m sure it was made to look that way on purpose :/​
Might go back to try some more stuff, after I’ve eaten dinner.

There are times when geographical, or weather/​alcohol related circumstances lead you to a new late night eats haven. My recent trip to Barton can be attributed to one or more of these factors, and I have to say I’m thankful!
While people line up for an hour to eat subpar pizza or poutine, I had the pleasure of eating one of the best jerk meat sandwiches I have ever experienced. Sure it costs twice as much as TO classics including Mr. Jerk and Allwyn, but considering the time of night this is one heck of a deal.
From what I remember the sandwich packed a punch, had plenty of meat, fresh coco bun, and pretty delicious ‘slaw. I will definitely be back for more.
Overall a top 5 late night eats experience in Toronto taking away the events proceeding and following the jerk sandwich!

Amazing brisket tacos. I live across the street, and this is just the thing I need late at night when I am looking for something that isn’t pizza or poutine.

This place we is the WORST place to get any late night food — waiting for our food — some girl comes charging out of the back screaming at a girl to leave. For no reason. The lack of moral and customer service is unreal… This place is somewhere you do not want to relate to Canadian culture :., the owner needs to figure out what employees actually work for the venue and the employees that steal and loose money

Just had some pretty decent ground beef tacos here. They could definitely have been spicier but all the ingredients were really fresh and tasty. The guy behind the counter was Friendly and the food came up quick.

Fantastic late night snacks, and surprisingly REAL tacos. Had the jerk chicken and the churizo and both were equally delicious. Also the tater tots poutine was an interesting and welcoming spin on the original.

The jerk pulled pork sandwich is soooooooooooo gooooood omgggg

This place a refreshing and welcome addition to late night eats on queen west. I’m biased though, being tired of the same old pizza/​shawarma options. Pulled pork, beef brisket, and fish tacos are all stellar, and the fact that they use 2 tortillas to wrap each one earns them the fifth star. 2 fresh-​made tacos for $ 7 is pretty unbeatable, and they play good music, so the wait isn’t unbearable. Great place to try and mitigate a hangover, ’cause all that drinking on a Saturday night is hungry work, right?

Beef brisket is awesome here! Staff is friendly, food is fresh, and not very expensive.
I paid about $ 8 for 2 tacos that they prepared on the spot and served with a smile.
On top of that it’s open late which is awesome, and they make their own cookies for ice cream sandwiches.

I can’t give them a more than a 3 star review as most of the time I’m there it’s after 2am and have already had a few drinks in me.
Staff is as friendly as they can be at that time, dealing with stumbling and bumbling customers.
Jerk pork sandwich or macNcheese are the go-​to for late night eats.

What’s so special about this place? — it’s open till 5am
What so extra special about this place? — their salted burnt caramel homemade icecream

Stumbled upon this place after going for dinner at the Drake Hotel, had some ice cream and saw that they had a full menu of soft tacos. I vowed to come back, and surely enough I eventually dragged some friends out with me to try the tacos. We shared a root beer float and the ice cream was even better than I remembered it the previous time.
I was hoping to be blown away by the tacos, but I was disappointed. The soft tacos were double stacked so each taco had 2 shells and I think that the soft tacos were reheated in the microwave, or at least it had that soft floppy feel like it was. The tacos were incredibly messy to eat and I flavours did not come together very well. I recall the pulled meat in one taco was completely overcome by the coleslaw on top.

Fairly poor showing. Fish tacos and donair hotdog were tried late night (tacos had a soggy texture), donair hotdog was a hotdog with donair sauce. Took longer than seemed reasonable for the food and it is cash only. 1 hotdog+2 tacos was $ 16, so it is also too expensive.

This place is pure awesomeness. Too bad they don’t have proper seating.
Def coming back again and again!

BOTTOM LINE: Finally, a solid late-​night eatery on Queen West! (And no, I’m never drunk enough to eat from Poutini’s)
If you’re unable to trek it to The Lakeview and Hawker Bar in your drunken debauchery, Barton Snacks is your place — they recently opened up after the Drake BBQ pop-​up closed shop.
Their menu falls under 3 broad categories: gourmet hot dogs, tacos and ‘others’. I had their (?) MEXICAN DOG, which was an all-​beef dog generously topped with ketchup, mustard, sauerkraut and avocado purée. My DCs ordered their FISH TACOS (which seemed a bit malnourished) and their special of the night, BEEF BRISKET ON MAC ‘N CHEESE (which was a huge portion and probably the highlight of the night). Most of the items were between $ 5 to $ 10, so it was pretty reasonable. Unfortunately, it’s a pretty small space so you’ll probably end up standing.

They had cookies with bacon on it, and for that, I got super excited. When I asked what cookies flavor was under the bacon he said peanut butter. Peanut butter? Really? Its such a prominent flavor, it’ll totally drown out the bacon taste; rendering the bacon: useless. I wouldn’t eat bacon with peanut butter, but I would with maple. So I’m gonna have to doc you 1 star for that. On the otherhand, your jerk pork tacos aren’t bad. They’re a little too small for my lifestyle though. I know these are vegan times but I still want portions to be large.
