Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Burdock Brewery charms with its "spectacular beer" and "creative w/o pretension" cuisine. The gnocchi is a standout, and fries come highly recommended. Known for its "warm, genuine" staff and vibrant music, Burdock is a "gem" in Toronto's dining scene. Occasional service lapses noted, but overall, a delightful experience.

    Food is great. Restaurant doesn’t open until noon unlike what Open Table states. Even restaurant post hours saying it opens at 11. When they opened their doors at 12:10 there was a huge line outside so suddenly a squeeze on the kitchen. Just seems like poor planning.

    I love Burdock. It’s been my favourite place in the city for years. The food, ambience and service are all always effortlessly top notch.

    Stopped in to eat here before a show in the adjoining music hall with a friend. The menu is focused but had several appealing options. We went with the ricotta gnocchi. It was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was absolutely delicious. I will say they went VERY heavy on the onions, and it does seem the chef favours them across the menu. As someone who medically struggles with them, it was a bit of a downer, but they were big enough to pick around and it didn't detract from the flavours of the dish and the experience overall. The service was pleasant and fast - One hour was plenty to turnaround to get into the show. The staff were all so friendly What a gem!

    Really nice dinner experience on NYE! 🍾 Fixed menu but the vegetarian option was appreciated. And very well priced for new years.

    I love Burdock, the beers are so great and the space itself wonderful. The service was really lackluster, a trend I'm seeing throughout the city these days unfortunately (but maybe understandably) - no enthusiasm, not consistent, not checking in if the food is good or if we have everything, a general "oh yeah you're still here" vibe. Not something I've experienced at Burdock before and was really excited to show my friend from out of town. Overall a fine, just fine, experience.
