$ 32 for two people for lunch with such a small AYCE menu… never coming back here again. I highly recommend the Kyoto House AYCE just down the street. Much bigger menu for $ 29.

Well the steak was not quite what I was expecting. I thought it would be philly cheese-​steak style, which it was not. There’s also different sauces, but how did I know that. Given they are listed under the drink section for god’s sake! Move them under where you list your steaks. And no one asked what sauce I wanted either, I would have tried the garlic sauce… sigh.
What no one is talking about is the AWESOME onion rings. SERIOUSLY amazing. And frankly, rings are becoming an extinct species. Look around, how many rings do you see in restaurants?

Saw this when I was driving through Kensington and somehow I have never clocked this place before. Went in dor their $ 9.99 everyday special and was very impressed. Store was dead inside and I got to talk with the workers quite a bit. Was a little feverish while enjoying my Steak and Mushroom sandwich but damn that sandwich was on point. If in the area I would definitely hit this place instead of My Big Fat Burrito hehehe.

I didn’t find the steak on its own all that great but the various combinations of toppings intrigue me and I definitely plan on going back some day. Their poutine is the best (halal) poutine I’ve had and their service sure is friendly.

If I lived in the area, I would’ve definitely been a regular here. Their steak sandwiches are always on point. My personal fav here is the Take my Breath Away and Maverick. The servers are always helpful and friendly. Never had a bad experience yet and hope it stays this way

Grabbed a quick sandwich while walking around. The service was good and the sandwich tasty. I thought it was a little pricey, paid $ 18 for a sandwich but added mushroom. While they were pricey they we very worth it, plump portobello! The restaurant is dark but feels like a steak shop, lots of options a fixings!

Really love this place! usually sandwiches fall apart and end up crumbling but this really holds up. I add a fried egg to whatever sandwich i get for extra flavor. The staff is pretty friendly too, i just wish the pricing was a little more reasonable.

As an american wandering around Toronto i was happy to see a cheesesteak place waiting for me when I got to kensington market. Being from San Diego, where a lot of Top Gun was made, it was awesome to see the theme of this place. Usually cheesesteak places have pretty simple menus, but not here. I dont think there is anything you can’t get on the sandwich. I went with a standard cheesesteak and sadly it just wasn’t that good. Someone might want to take a trip down to Philly and see how the steak sandwiches are supposed to taste.

Not sure what the good reviews are all about.
Ordered their basic steak sandwich with fries and a drink… over priced. …steak was dry… nothing special about the bread they use… not sure if I’ll come back any time soon… and for heaven’s sake stop drenching the sandwiches with ur ‘special’ mayo based sauce. .it masks out the taste of everything. …
Just not worth the money… mediocre at best…

I went here a couple of days ago, there is a cute patio outside. I had the cheesesteak. There was nothing special about this sandwich. The bread was very ordinary, and the steak was decent. The fries were the best part of the meal for me!

Wow! What a steak! What a sandwich! The best steak sandwich in town till now!!! I gonna come here and try all items to the end of menu each time. It’s a little bit greasy, but can’t be delicious in any other way. It’s clear it is grilled with natural fat of meat and it is a good point of it. Freshly prepared in a delicious way. Can’t recommend it more!

Crazy overpriced. Whats essentially a burger combo (fries + pop) is $ 18.00
Tastes pretty average. Meat is supposed to be premium but you can’t tell when its cut up into well done strips. Random fries. Took 20 min to get the order at 10pm and the place was 40% full. Drop the price to $ 12 and use decent not premium beef and its worth it.

I have been wanting to go to Top Gun Steak since I read about the place on BlogTO. Walked by a few times in Kensington Market but was never in the mood for a steak burger.
Today is my lucky day!
We ordered the Top Gun Birdy (special of the day) and the Cheerful. The special came with deep fried chicken breast, pull beef in BBQ sauce, mozzarella cheese, deep fried onions, lettuce and tomato in a burger bun. The special also came with fries and a pop for $ 13.99. My boyfriend really enjoyed the burger. Mine came with steaks, Brie cheese, sautéed onions, mushrooms and red peppers for $ 8.50. What a steal!
Overall, great value, no-​frill and what you see is what you get kind of burger joint!
Recommend!

Had the daily special. Steak, cheese and onion sandwich with fries and a coke. The price was $ 10. For the quality and size this was really worth it. The sandwich was great and they really hook you up with the steak. Also the fries were pretty amazing.

This restaurant replaces the previous cheesesteak establishment, Big Al’s. I actually went there wanting to eat a simple cheesesteak: steak, cheese, sauteed onions, and perhaps a light seasoning or sauce to coat it. Imagine my surprise when there were no simple cheesesteaks available — every single steak sandwich on the menu included the kitchen sink. I don’t want lettuce and tomatoes on my steak sandwich; give me a real, philly-​style cheesesteak!
Turned off by the menu trying too hard to be fancy, I ordered their sloppy fries, which was a mix of cheese curds, mushrooms, peppers, and spicy mayo. It was way too salty, which made me shudder at the thought of trying their poutine.
Big Al’s was definitely the better establishment and I’m sorry to see it go. Top Gun Steak doesn’t give any options to double the meat or add additional toppings — you are forced to order whatever crazy setups they have on their menu.

Heard this opened up recently, so I decided to check it out for lunch. They have some seriously great sandwiches here. I tried their Goose, with a generous portion of chicken combined with havarti, guac, chipotle mayo, and jalapeño peppers, and it was both delicious and filling! Their steak sandwiches sound (and look) even better, so I’ll have to come back sometime to try those, but definitely worth a visit!

Something different, so he said. Top Gun Steak is a halal certified restaurant, which is fine and adds another layer of diversity to the market. I had the basic sandwich and fries. Nothing too extraordinary, basically meat on a bun, with some caramelized onions and a mayo-​type sauce. Good value for the $ 6.50 although for my taste it was kinda bland and could use some hot sauce for kick.

I was pleasantly surprised by the real steak strips in these sandwiches, the broad selection of toppings and the quick and friendly service.
Not a huge fan of the milkshakes and the fact that there’s no place to put you used tray (meaning that you have to clean up after others when it’s busy), but overall this is a great establishment at a competitive price.

We had the #1 Wolfman Steak Sandwich. The place is pretty new and clean. We took our sandwich to-​go however it was finished before we had gotten to the next block. It smelled to good to wait until we got home. The bun was super soft and fresh. It could had been toasted a bit more. Steak was cooked very good (not over done) and very juicy. The pickle added a great flavour along with the top gun sauce. Prices are good for the quality and the amount of food that you get. Looks like a great patio, so we will probably be back when the weather is nicer.
