Sneaky Dee’s

A great place to go to start your night out. Amazing prices and you get so much bang for your buck. I definitely recommend the chicken quesadilla and chicken tacos.

Brought my American friend and she was not impressed and neither was I. She’s not even from the south and that says something. This place was cool and hip around 10 years ago though when there were no Mexican restaurants in downtown. Just go somewhere else.

Had the fish burrito that came with rice and and a side salad. The burrito was huge but very bland and flavourless. Maybe I should have gone with the nachos as everyone keeps raving about them. Oh well, maybe next time but I won’t be rushing back.

Fresh yet flavorless; pretty much sums up my first visit back to this old landmark in 5 years. I don’t mind the kitschy dive bar atmosphere with decent offerings on tap but the food needs a lot more oomph for sure. Ordered the Guadelajara which is a mix of a taco with some enchiladas and there was little to no flavor or salt throughout. I could tell the chicken was fresh and moist but the seasoning was nowhere to be found to be even considered standard Tex Mex. The house hot sauces are laughable and taste like watered down tabasco sauce. The plate price doesn’t warrant the bland and overcooked state of most of the dishes, redo your recipes and you’ll do fine. If you want (yes you SD management), you can message me and I’ll give you my traditional mexican tinga recipe that’ll wow your guests.
Double check your bill, I noticed some other charges that didn’t come from our table though it was rectified in short order after bringing it up to the waiter.

This is my favourite place to go for a post-​work hangout/​wind down. The beers are relatively cheap, the food is amazing! I’d recommend the wings and the destroyer fries, I order these every time. Their nachos are fan favourites but I think the destroyer fries are underrated.
Some of my friends don’t like how «sketchy» it looks but it’s actually cleaner than most.
The only negative is that there could be more options for beers; but that has never stopped me.

Some of the best nachos in toronto. Really good wings. Awesome beer deals. Overall great food on the genuine mexican side of whitewashed mexican.
Ive been going here since i was a kid and still do every month or so. A bit grimey but whatever, its all done in that style.
Top floor is a dance area and they used to do retro nights (like, elvis retro) which was fun. Not sure if that still happens.

Grungy environment. The food is served in big portions, but I wouldn’t say its the tastiest. I think people come here for more the experience than the taste of the food.
Only takes cash.

This past weekend, a group of friends and I were looking for somewhere lively and interesting to end the night. Sneaky Dee’s fit the bill. Sneaky Dee’s is an eclectic bar in downtown Toronto, that has a pretty heavy hipster feel. No shade intended to hipsters out there. It’s just… not normal when you look at the décor. The interior is a mellow colour explosion, with plenty of wall art, booths, and a bar.
On suggestion of a friend who has frequented Sneaky Dee’s a couple of times, I set my eyes on nachos, since they apparently stand out from your standard plate. As advised by the waitress, I grabbed the group a plate of Kings Crown nachos. With this dish you get a real healthy sized plate of corn tortilla chips topped with salsa roja, frijoles, ground beef, tomatoes, onions, peppers, jalapeños, melted cheese, guacamole, and sour cream.
What you immediately realize about the nachos at Sneaky Dee’s is that they play… no… games when it comes to their toppings! You know that feeling when you’re enjoying a plate beautifully warm nachos with great toppings, but you seldom get a chip that actually cradles all the fixings (and sometimes none at all)? Well Sneaky Dee’s knows that feeling, and obviously made it their mission to satisfy your inner topping desire. Honestly, this is your wet dream equivalent of nachos. All the toppings that you could ever want.
«How’s the quality of those toppings» you ask? Bomb dot com. None of the flavours on this plate are going to remind you of some of the more predictably vibrant and zesty experiences of regular nachos. Rather, you’re going to get the nacho equivalent of comfort food. The spiciness of the mixed peppers and jalapeños is neutralized by the big boy helpings of guac, sour cream, and cheese, and the salsa flirts as a tomato sauce. Lastly, I’ve got to mention the frijoles. For the non Spanish amoung us, frijoles is a thick bean dish. Once you’ve enjoyed the already excellent surface of this plate, you’ll delight yourself with this stupidly comforting helping of frijoles, which can honestly stand as a dish on its own.
I can only wonder if their other food stands up to the nachos. Whatever the case may be, God bless this plate.

Ok so mixed emotions about this place. Food is ok if you like Mexican. Generous portion sizes. Atmosphere is pretty hip.
Here is what I don’t like. No debit… seriously what restaurant doesn’t accept debit. Oh but there’s a cash machine on site…
No splitting of cheques. So you and a buddy go for dinner or drinks… one bill only. Makes it crappy if you each need to pay by a bank card or credit card.
Lastly no soda refills. They’ll gladly sell you another but despite having a fountain pop machine they don’t offer any refills.
All in all I will probably avoid in the future.

One of the city’s classic institutions. A must for any Toronto thoroughbred. Probably the best Nachos I have ever had. I also heard wonderful things about their chicken wings.
Wednesdays is a very popular night where they play rap music in their party room upstairs. Plan on eating downstairs around 9pm, and make your way up to hip-​hop even right after.

Finally I return to Sneaky Dees now that I finally won’t be turned away for being underage. Came in on a Monday and there were tons of specials for everyone. The place was pretty busy for a Monday night but service was awesome!
Ordered an amaretto sour which was part of the special for the day so it was only $ 4 it was super good why can’t my attempts at making an amaretto sour at home be this good. For food we had the mexi-​dip platter to share and it was pretty tasty chips and dips. Then for my main I ordered the Burrito grande and it was awesome! I was so full there is tons of food in the order and they were really friendly about my customization (no veggies) which a lot of people don’t take too well.
It’s Tex-​Mex so you should expect that when going in but when you’re in the mood for some awesome Tex-​Mex this is your place! It’s delicious and not over priced one of my all time favourite places downtown. If you’ve never been to Sneakys you have to go!

I came to sneaky dee’s after not being here in years and had a really good time. The restaurant is brighter, cleaner and seemed much bigger. Perhaps it’s because I was only seated in the front of the restaurant years ago. Our waiter was okay and the restaurant accommodated my lactose and gluten free diet.
The waiter informed me that the guacamole had dairy. Then he went to the kitchen to find out what I could order. He returned and told me the chef could make the guacamole lactose free. That gives them an extra star in my book.
They don’t really have an extravagant alcoholic menu but I asked the waiter to have the bartender mix Sprite, lemon and vodka. The concoction was perfect. My drink was fantastic.
The one thing I didn’t like was that they charged our group 18% gratuity. Out waiter was okay but he would ignore us at times. I would have preferred to choose how much I was going to tip since I think good tips mean good service. I would have liked our water refilled a bit more regularly and some of my friends wanted to place more orders but the waiter was avoiding eye contact with us.
Allover, I would say this is a three star establishment and it has significantly improved since the early 2000’s.

Sneaky Dees has the best nachos in the city, I recommend the kings crown nachos they’re my personal favourite.
If you’re craving mexican food this is tje place to be. Theyre tex-​mex style mexican not authentic if thats what you’re hoping to get but Tex-​mex is good when you’re in the mood for it. Thier plates are great and they have weekly special that you should watch out for. I love the fajitas and when theyre on sales theyre a great deal.
If you’ve ever been to Fernados Hideaway sneak dees is just a much better version of it. The crowd is a mix of locals mostly hipsters and music fans. Sneaky dees always has good bands playing in the evening. They’re also know to have great breakfast and brunch.
Sneaky dees is one of my favourite places in the city. I recommend coming here to crush your tex-​mex cravings. Cheap drinks, good music and friendly staff what more could you want.

Oh Sneaks– What memories I have from this place. From dancing and singing my heart out upstairs to eating brunch with my Dad downstairs I can actually say I have experienced it all here.
This was THE place to hang when I was in university. Cheap-​ish food and drinks that always make me super full and happy by the end. I know everyone recommends their nachos-​and don’t get me wrong they are some of the best I’ve ever had (esp. because you can get Daiya cheese on them now yay!) but go for the Breakfast/​brunch here. Best hangover decision you will ever make. The salad/​rice/​beans sides alone save me every time.
The crowd is always changing here too. You never know who you will see at Sneaks! My advice is if you haven’t been here yet you totally have to try it out because it is, in my opinion a 416 staple.

I came here for breakfast and ordered the pork Benedict special. Eggs are done right. Pork & potatoes are filthy in a good way. Bottomless coffee and the waiter was very generous when it comes to offering refills.
I know, you probably don’t think breakfast when you think Sneaky dee’s. But check it out if you are in the area, it’s pretty good.

I Always get the nachos cause they are fully loaded and delicious, but this last time we also decided to share the avocado spring rolls– not bad, not great the sweet Thai sauce is the saving grace. Total Dive bar, definitely not my idea of a date spot but a cool, chill place to go with friends l

After a couple of visits now I can safely say I don’t see why the reviews of this place are so high. Sure it’s a dive bar, so I won’t dock stars for the décor. I can honestly say they got one star for having my fave beer in bottle, I don’t think I’d want anything from the taps here.
The Jays game was on, bonus, the crowd was into it, being the first time we’ve seen playoff baseball in this town in 22 years I was happy to be here to watch.
We were sat quickly considering the crowd, wicked timing. We perused the menu, I decided on the steak quesadilla. Unfortunately that was where the good times ended as our food arrived and sheer disappointment as I ate my quesadilla. Bland at first, way to much cheese I realized the cheese was probably covering a poor cut off meat as my next bite was full of fat. I gagged almost vomiting if back out. Unfortunately for me, my wife likes this place, hopefully she won’t drag me with her next time. I’d be really hard pressed to eat here again.

This is a great spot to hang out. The vegan nachos were really good (but the pulled pork enchilada and burrito were quite horrible… they were soaked in barbecue sauce and that’s really all I could taste).
I’d come back, but definitely sticking to the nachos!

I’ve been walking past this place for years, and I finally decided that it was time to check it out for breakfast. Man, what a find!
The place has a truly off the wall vibe, with bright colours everywhere, wooden tables and benches covered in graffiti and carved with more initials than a schoolyard tree. Service is friendly, efficient and prompt, always a plus.
I had the concha con huevos, and my wife had the huoevos rancheros. Both were excellent! The eggs were still runny, the beans and rice were delicious, and the sauce was soooo good! there are a couple of rules for my breakfast: don’t overcook my food (check!), don’t keep me waiting (check!) and make my tastebuds happy (check!). This place rocked it completely.
I am so coming back again!

Un incontournable pour les brunchs, y a de quoi s exploser la panse ! Les portions sont énormes, et vachement bonnes ! Laissez tomber la carte Gringos et prenez la mexicano. Et essayez les nachos !

This place has huge portions for pretty cheap. We had planned on going to an Italian joint down the street but yours truly messed up the reservation, making it a week later than I had intended to. We had walked by Sneaky Dee’s on our way and had heard of it before, so decided to walk back and give it a try. The bouncer at the door told us that trivia was starting upstairs. We decided to give that a try. There were no more tables available, so we sat at the bar. Trivia was tough, but it was fun.
We ordered a big plate of nachos to share. Definitely enough to share. It was spicy, but not too hot. They had a good choice of beers and tons of food to choose from. I ordered a # something and got rice, beans, a taco, salad, and I think 2 burritos or something like that. Huge amount of food for the price. Food was tasty, but nothing exceptional.
The 2 things that I didn’t like about the place was 1) if you sit upstairs, you have to pay cash… This is a problem for a lot of people in my generation… We had to scrape together enough money for everyone and then paypal/​venmo later… The ATM that was supposedly across the street was not working. They did have an ATM in the restaurant, but who wants to pay the $ 3 + convenience fee for it… and 2) I asked the server if they had any small portion options… like maybe one taco and rice or something more like a kids menu, she said that everything they had was huge… oh well. I just had dinner for two nights instead of one… just would have been nice to have that option.

Excellent petit restaurant sans prétention où l’on peut manger du pseudo-​mexicain à un prix abordable. Bruyant, souvent plein à craquer le week-​end, au carrefour de deux lignes de tram, c’est un lieu de rendez-​vous pour ceux qui ont besoin de caler leur estomac avant ou après une soirée de beuverie.

Sneaky Dee’s est un bar avec au rez de chaussée un service de restauration type burger/​nachos et un étage avec un énorme bar et scèné pour les concerts.
J’y ai été un lundi soir ce qui correspond à la soirée Karaoké: on choisit sa chanson dans le classeur et hop quand on vous appelle c’est à vous de donner tout ce que vous avez sur la scèné.
L’ambiance est très sympa, détendue et relativement jeune et internationale.
Choix de bières correct et service rapide.
