The patio looked pretty cool so my boyfriend and I decided to grab a table. We were speechless by the time we left. We had the waitress come to our table and full out complain and mock a table she had inside. She complained about their race(they were all asian. My boyfriend and I are caucasian, like her.) and that they were telling her how to do her job. We were so shocked that at the time we did not say anything but after leaving and letting it sink it I was absolutely disgusted really. For working in the customer service industry this women had no idea what she was doing. I would not go back to this place simply because of her…

I’ve wanted to go to this place forever since I live at the buildings just down the way and finally got to! Server was wonderful. Very sweet and courteous. Patio is really cramped but charmingly so. Entrance is around the side. Small indoor space too. Ordered the Candy Cane Beet Salad(candied beets, spinach and strawberry vinaigrette) to start. I’m not one for beets but found this alright. The portion was HUGE but definitely not enough dressing. Easily solved by asking for more. Mains: Grilled chicken and Brie, fries on the side. Chicken was VERY blackened which is not my preference so that kind of ruined it for me right off the bat. I couldn’t even really taste the Brie… They also put the same salad that was in the starter salad which wasn’t a good match for it — too bitter. Maybe sprouts would have been a better choice. Partner ordered steak and sweet potato fries and was pleased with both.

We were starving, wanting to try somewhere new on our route across town. Looked this place up, saw a sign out front that said«We Have What You Need» I figured that was a sign, so we decided to check it out. Unfortunately we spent 10 minutes driving around the block and up side streets, trying to find parking(finally ended up parking on Dupont) and then the entrance isn’t off of Dupont(where the sidewalk sign was). So we’re starving and super frustrated at this point. finally found the entrance because of the little sign showing us we were in the right place(on the side street next to what looks like a back door). We went in and our server was super friendly, said we could sit inside or out(they have a nice raised deck patio with lots of table umbrellas), but we decided inside where it was cool. I ordered the wings — half jerk and half honey n garlic, he ordered the steak sandwich and caesar salad. I’m not a huge french fry person but THESE are fantastic, thin cut, skin on, perfectly cooked — YAY! I also asked for a side of gravy which made the french fry experience extra lovely. The server had mentioned that the Jerk was spicy(I can do spicy), but she didn’t mention that they were«too hot to taste and make you wanna cry» spicy. She was super apologetic and I made it work by drenching them in the blue cheese dressing, they were flavourful but I would order something a little less mouth burning next time. Not a huge deal. The steak sandwich was excellent! Thick enough that they ask you how you’d like it done. Unfortunately the caeser salad was just a step up from a bland chain restaurant version — it would be great if they actually upped it a notch, would make it a well-balanced meal(to match the greatness of the steak sandwich). I would come back for dinner(this was lunch time) and try out their roast beef. Overall a good pub experience!

Came here with my coworkers after rock climbing next door. We had a wonderful time with drinks and dinner at their patio. I had the shrimp sandwich(not sure what it was called on the menu). It was lightly fried and very delicious, the bun was a but dense though I might add. The fries were freshly fried and crispy.

Great pub, awesome patio, and solid menu. Fiancé and I came here on a summer Sunday afternoon for a few on their beautiful patio. Boo Radley’s knows what it is: a local. And unlike a lot of bars and pubs that have jumped on the gastro-whatever wagon, its menu sticks to simple meals that are executed well. Good beer selection, with ciders and cocktails rounding out the beverage selections. Our waitress also served us up some nice and spicy Caesars for our second round, and the steak salad I had was perfectly cooked and tasty. The service was prompt and very personable – we were never left waiting for anything. This is an unassuming, affable place to grab some drinks and chill out in the west end.

I like coming here on a nice summer night to chill and drink on their patio. Service was good but haven’t tried their food. This place had good vibes for me. Friends have told me that it’s sketchy but people there the night I was were all working professionals just looking to hang out and relax.

Love the friendly, relaxed, casual vibe. Good beers on tap and plenty of food options for everyone including vegan options. Service is always very good. Kid friendly and they even have a kids menu. I will come back again and again.

Decent spot really close to the old homestead. Beers seemed decent with lots of craft beers on tap. Service was also friendly. Only downside was my girlfriend had the nachos and the portion was quite small.

I am only taking away a couple of stars for the lack of veggie options and the price points being a bit high for what you get. However, Boo Radley’s selection of beers, friendly service, and delicious fries and pizzas make it a great spot in a neighbourhood with few sit-down dining options.

Boo’s has quickly become our new local since settling in the lower junction triangle. It is a great local pub, with a winning patio in the summer and cozy atmosphere in the fall. Last night we went because I was too lazy to cook and it was the best decision I’ve made all week. I had the $ 12 steak sandwich with mushrooms and onions – it was fantastic! The steak cooked to a perfect medium rare(served with a side salad)-I want to eat it again right now. My partner had the chicken sandwich & fries($ 10) which was pretty decent but nothing to rave about. A pitcher of Beaus goes for $ 18 and they have lots of other beer options if that’s not your brew of choice. Great and friendly service(& an invite to their upcoming Halloween party)!

Plan A was to come for drinks after a stressed workday with la famille(3 of us), chill, then cross the street for dinner at Piri-Piri. The deck was full. Inside there was a party with a lot of small kids who were very very loud – just not what I needed. Asked for a table outside when available and both servers kept an eye out for the next one to become free. Much appreciated. Once we relocated outside, it was perfect. They have lovely craft beer on tap and the sight of the food going by was just too tempting. Invoke Plan B, i. e stay here. We ordered a beef risotto on special, the Boo’s salad and the Longhorn salad. A nasty thunderstorm came in and we changed to a table with an umbrella(while everyone else went in), meanwhile the staff kept asking if we wanted to come in, and they prepared a space. Finally we did and my son had desert, a home-made caremel-cocnut cake with ice cream that was lovely. Food was very good for a bar, atmosphere was easy going, staff was wonderful, beers were terrific. What more could one want?

I will never eat here again. It’s a shame; I love coming here for drinks on the patio when it’s nice and warm out. However, the food was diabolical. I had the steak sandwich. It tasted nice, but I was disappointed with the portion size. For $ 12, it should have been much larger. My girlfriend barely had a few mouthfuls of her meal before I finished my sandwich in no more than eight bites. What I was left with was a sad-looking salad, a dish that was two pieces of cucumber, two slices of tomato, and the rest — a bowl of day-old lettuce. As for my girlfriend’s meal, she opted for the 10oz AAA steak, with mashed potatoes and Caesar salad. While her portion size was much more reasonable for the $ 16 price tag, the quality of the food made it worth no more than $ 10. The steak was a flabby, half fat, poor excuse for a piece of of meat that is edible for humans. She spent most of her time attempting to sever the fat from it – fat that looked like it had belonged in the arteries of a heavy-duty fast-food lovin’ smoker, not on her meal. Her mashed potatoes were horribly salty, not properly mashed, and the Caesar salad consisted of mopey looking lettuce, burnt bacon bits, and soggy croutons. To top it all off there was no chocolate cake to satisfy our need for something that didn’t leave a horrible taste in my mouth. This is after being told they had chocolate cake. Not pleased. I will not eat here again.

After striking out for a table at Playa Cabana Cantina on a Wednesday night without reservations, we decided to head to Boo Radley’s. Plenty of seating available at this local tucked away eatery. We ordered: 3lbs of hot wings with fries to share($ 28) and 1-piece fish & chips($ 10), plus an assortment of pints($ 7.50). Wings arrive at the table hot and fresh from the deep fryer. The pungent scent of hot wings was too good to ignore! Fish and chips were good as well(it’s really hard to screw up this dish but I’ve had really bad ones before). Friendly service, decent craft brew selection and solid food offerings makes Boo Radleys one of our favourite go-to spots in the West end.

I like this place and the owner is very nice– Love the outdoor patio– the food is good and fresh. The chicken wings are pretty good. The place is fairly priced as well.

Went here on Sat night for a late dinner and drinks. This place was clean and the server was very nice. The food was pretty good(no gourmet awards to be won but wings, pizza, wraps… all tasty). Atmosphere was relaxed and the crowd was good. Prices are reasonable — this could be a contender for my new local hangout.

The Hubster and I came here for a casual dinner and drinks last night and were quite pleased. For one thing, we both got what we were craving foodwise(he a burger, me prime rib, their Sunday special! $ 14.95WHAAAATTT?!) They also had some good choices of craft beer. Service was very friendly and the atmosphere was comfortable. The Hubster ate his entire burger and fries in a couple minutes, and I enjoyed my prime rib a little more slowly. Both were great, and I loved the fries. The meals weren’t fine dining standard, but they were filling, very tasty and the price was right. They were a bit better than most pub food. When we left, we were formulating the best way to return without a car, so we could properly enjoy the place, particularly during patio season. Note, cash and debit only!

I live in the area and had been meaning to check out this little bar/restaurant. Came here last Monday(during the long weekend) and was surprised it was busier than I would have thought — patio was almost full. We managed to grab a small table on the patio. The menu has typical bar type food. I had the fish & chips and my fiancé had the buffalo chicken sandwich — both were really good and came out super fast. Service was also super friendly. This is a great casual place to come with your friends for a bite and some drinks. I’ll def be back.
