The Daily MealJune 30, 2011Tuck into roasted bone marrow, the steak frites, or the Wayfare burger and add a couple of glasses of wine and an order of sticky toffee pudding for truly perfect date fodder. Read more
Adrian GarciaMay 23, 2011Fried chicken is amazing is fried with lots of herbs and you can taste each individual flavor! Sit at the chef's counter and you can see them prepare everything! Great service as well.
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.
Zoe WongOctober 1, 2013Gotta have the Kobe Tartare and Organic Fried Chicken! Hands-down the best fried chicken.
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!
Cyn OntivMay 7, 2014Sit by the kitchen if you are there by yourself. You'll watch how your meal is made. Everything is fantastic!!
Best poutine I have every had! Generous amount of ox tail and great to have paired with their old fashioned. Service is excellent!
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!
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.
Brad E.July 27, 2015All the food we tried was great. You can't go wrong. Do start with the deviled eggs though.
Susan LohMay 19, 2017Go with the salad with fried chicken. Healthy with just enough fried chicken to avoid FOMO.
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.
Tec GoblinMay 25, 2022Quality is good, fries perfectly cooked, but most plates are way too sweet for a European palate
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
Isabella WeiDecember 12, 2017Generally overpriced, but if you’re here get the fried chicken and tavern burger.
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 :)
Magnus AttoffMay 6, 2017Popovers, Fried Chicken, Hamburger and Doughnuts were just great. Lovely staff and ambiance.
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- Kobe tartare is very filling. Definitely try the fried chicken... and say hi to Tyler Florence
- Lee HoffmanOctober 31, 2013The burger, deviled eggs, and fried chicken are all pretty amazing. Of course so are the popovers.
While someone in the group HAS to get the fried chicken, the burger is also really great
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.
Len GilbertFebruary 27, 2014Devils on horseback, lamb shank sandwich, and burger are all fantastic. Chocolate custard for desert.
VyomaApril 8, 2014The fried chicken entree was amazing. Service was great. Love the building and decor, very Godfather-like.
Bela PulgarJanuary 15, 2015try the poutine, deviled eggs, mac and cheese, fried chicken, doughnuts. Great food.
Joseph LeungFebruary 16, 20171915 is really good. Boozy and like an old fashion but less sweet. Staple. Wish it was served at more places.
JessicaJuly 11, 2015Amazing burger and ginormous Yorkshire puddings as appetisers... Need I say more.- Sean SheppardNovember 8, 2012Try the "Laughing Bird" shrimp deviled eggs - best deviled eggs ever! ... next to @brtania of course @dwanelay can attest
Sofie GrahamAugust 9, 2014Wayfare has surprisingly great food! I would recommend this place for a date night or getting together with friends. Have the octopus!
Sebastian OstmanMarch 31, 2014LOVE this place! Ask for a counter seat by the kitchen, and watch them prepare your food.
Kelvin KohDecember 13, 2013The organic fried chicken is superb. Juicy and tasty. Would go really well with a cider
Bader Al-RasheedSeptember 2, 2019You gotta try their Homemade Doughnuts. It's crazy how delicious they are.
AngelaOctober 31, 2013As delicious as the popovers are, don't overdose on them. Bc the deviled eggs are just amazing.
Irada RabahApril 7, 2014Phenomenal Kobe Beef Tartare. Huge portions, inventive , beautifully plated and truly tasty.
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!
Rob GainerSeptember 29, 2013Deviled eggs and Le Grand Burger with the fried egg is the way to go...and POPOVERS!!!
Can't go wrong with staple burger and fried chicken though for lighter faire fish dishes are outstanding.
Rebecca ThomsonNovember 11, 2013Three things - popovers, steak tartare, and chicken paillard (the Brussels sprouts make this dish).
Cathy BlackwellApril 14, 2012Try the deviled eggs: crispy rock shrimp and pickle relish on a perfectly creamy egg filling. Delicious!- The chicken is great but so are the scallops. And only truly evil people turn down the popovers.
Kris LandoJanuary 31, 2014Sad news: no more deviled eggs. Telling you ahead of time so you won't be heartbroken when you view the menu like I was.
