Micaella CabralJune 13, 2014They are known for their fried chicken and deviled eggs. I wouldn't get the chicken again, but the deviled eggs are awesome! Chopped salad was great too :)
Best poutine I have every had! Generous amount of ox tail and great to have paired with their old fashioned. Service is excellent!
Rosie KMay 29, 2011The Fried chicken and Avocado & hearts of palm salad are just a couple of the amazing menu items. On a side note, the ambience of the WT gives both a masculine & modern allure.
The food & beverage here are five star to include service. They are very welcoming and it makes you want to come back. Deviled eggs no one wanted to order @ the bar until we did. Oh how good they are!
Sarah EOctober 2, 2013Fried oysters and fried chicken are the way to go! Need to diet a day after eating here though as the food is so heavy and rich!
Amanda SmithMay 31, 2012You must try the the Fried Chicken here - absolutely to die for! Also love how seriously the mixologists take their cocktails here...can't wait to come back!
Brad E.July 27, 2015All the food we tried was great. You can't go wrong. Do start with the deviled eggs though.
Jamie WongMarch 19, 2013Tell them you're dining with the mayor. You'll find a surprise under the table. Also, deviled eggs, Brussels sprouts and Kobe tartar are awesome.
Valentina MarzoratiJanuary 16, 2011Poutine is UNREAL!! Fried chicken, delicious! Mac n Cheese pretty outstanding, but the hype of the burger left me disappointed. I can't wait to go back!! Oh and chef's counter is way cool.
Cyn OntivMay 7, 2014Sit by the kitchen if you are there by yourself. You'll watch how your meal is made. Everything is fantastic!!
Inman NewsMarch 6, 2012The chocolate cream pie has a yummy crust that contains a layer of devil’s food cake, Scharffenberger chocolate pudding and a salty caramel ganache. Best ever!
Anjanette BrownNovember 6, 2010The deviled eggs to start, mac-n-cheese & organic fried chicken are AMAZING!!!! Pretty much any dessert is great also. Staff friendly and attentive. Make sure to make reservations.
Zoe WongOctober 1, 2013Gotta have the Kobe Tartare and Organic Fried Chicken! Hands-down the best fried chicken.
Magnus AttoffMay 6, 2017Popovers, Fried Chicken, Hamburger and Doughnuts were just great. Lovely staff and ambiance.
Marc R?erSeptember 30, 2014The burgers are decent, but most of all it's just a cool place, the interior makes this place better than a lot of its competitors around there, food is good, wine list okay- Lee HoffmanOctober 31, 2013The burger, deviled eggs, and fried chicken are all pretty amazing. Of course so are the popovers.
Susan LohMay 19, 2017Go with the salad with fried chicken. Healthy with just enough fried chicken to avoid FOMO.
Joseph LeungFebruary 16, 20171915 is really good. Boozy and like an old fashion but less sweet. Staple. Wish it was served at more places.
Len GilbertFebruary 27, 2014Devils on horseback, lamb shank sandwich, and burger are all fantastic. Chocolate custard for desert.
Bela PulgarJanuary 15, 2015try the poutine, deviled eggs, mac and cheese, fried chicken, doughnuts. Great food.
VyomaApril 8, 2014The fried chicken entree was amazing. Service was great. Love the building and decor, very Godfather-like.
Tec GoblinMay 25, 2022Quality is good, fries perfectly cooked, but most plates are way too sweet for a European palate
ChelsaurJuly 8, 2013Got in quick on a late Sunday night. They give you some small free dessert bites at the end, so make a little room :)
Generally overpriced, but if you’re here get the fried chicken and tavern burger.
While someone in the group HAS to get the fried chicken, the burger is also really great
Maud EeuwenMarch 18, 2012I'm normally not a fan of fried chicken. My boyfriend ordered it and it was so good. I love the fresh herbs and lemon it came with.
Morgan J.November 15, 2014Deviled eggs are to die for and of course the check with the fresh lemon squeezed on top
Bader Al-RasheedSeptember 2, 2019You gotta try their Homemade Doughnuts. It's crazy how delicious they are.
Irada RabahApril 7, 2014Phenomenal Kobe Beef Tartare. Huge portions, inventive , beautifully plated and truly tasty.
JessicaJuly 11, 2015Amazing burger and ginormous Yorkshire puddings as appetisers... Need I say more.
- Sean SheppardNovember 8, 2012Try the a close up of the wayfarer burger with fried egg - @dwanelay has never had a burger like this @tylerflorence #foodporn
- Kobe tartare is very filling. Definitely try the fried chicken... and say hi to Tyler Florence
Kelvin KohDecember 13, 2013The organic fried chicken is superb. Juicy and tasty. Would go really well with a cider
Kim RaimondiAugust 13, 2014While the menu and ambiance were warm and creative, the service completely soured my experience. Pressured by upselling and rushed out when not persuaded, it put a damper on the experience.
Can't go wrong with staple burger and fried chicken though for lighter faire fish dishes are outstanding.
Erin WrightJuly 28, 2010A game of pool in between courses . . . great concept. Plus, try out the bone marrow appetizer. Not to mention, I was sold on the place when the popover hit the bread plate!
Rebecca ThomsonNovember 11, 2013Three things - popovers, steak tartare, and chicken paillard (the Brussels sprouts make this dish).- Sean SheppardNovember 8, 2012Try the "Laughing Bird" shrimp deviled eggs - best deviled eggs ever! ... next to @brtania of course @dwanelay can attest
