Beast Pizza

Had a great time here and appreciate the staff for being so friendly and attentive, and the kitchen for serving up some solid food. The dining room is smaller than I expected from the photos with just a few tables in the middle and then some stools up against the bar. It’s cozy, for sure. But didn’t feel like we were being rushed or anything as a table of two taking up a table that could have been for four. Had the beet salad to start, which was great. It was cooked well, seasoned well, and I liked the pistachios and the lemon goat cheese pairing. Also ordered two 12” pizzas which I think was a good amount of food for two people to share. One was their mushroom pizza which had a great mushroom flavour to it. The other pizza was the tongue and bacon. Also really liked that one and the tongue was cooked well without getting tough. I like the pizza dough - not too thin or thick.

Burrata and Pistachio Pizza is to die for. Highlight for stop on my short trip to Toronto. Situated in a quiet neighborhood. We sat of the patio on a perfect evening. Added the garlic dip which was a great side but definitely not needed. The pizza. crust was perfection.

4.6 / 5 - great score and great small restaurant. Been both an inside diner and Uber takeout. Pizza - great taste, selection and toppings. Solid crust and flavour. End crust is a touch big. Bone Marrow - with the melted cheese is sensational. Even in takeout. Meatballs - soft, tasty and perfect amount. Salad - with anchovies. Large cuts. Good - might skip next time. Dips- sensational. Get them all!! Rosemary bread - Delicious and better than I could have expected. Cauliflower and cheese was make the favourite. Broccoli was good. Might skip later. Fun inside and great delivery. Both are good options.

O.M.G. Went for their special occasion with the 3 Caribbean inspired pizzas. Beef patty Pizza, Ox tail Pizza, and Jerk Pizza... Who could even decide, so we ordered all three. Where has this been so my life?! All three seemed like they would not work, from the description and the look - especially for those of us coming from Caribbean roots. The first bite of each was crashing our brains, faces and taste buds, and had us rethinking what we though we knew about food flavor x texture mashups. They were all a massive success. The pizzas sold out, so I hope Beast Pizza brings them back sometime, so everyone can have this experience. Rum Punch was nice too, especially the over the top garnishing to elevate the experience of the drink. The staff was super 😎 guys, very attentive, very fast. Even if these Caribbean inspired pies don't return, I will to see what they come up with next. Big up, Beast Pizza!

Beast pizza has been on my to try list for a while. I wasn’t blown away by the flavour of the pizza, but I was blown away by how light and fluffy and airy the crust was it literally kind of felt like I was eating a croissant pizza. The pizza south felt heavy. There was lots of cheese. It was very oily. There was something that was missing in the flavor. I can’t pinpoint it. Maybe it was the sauce that was bland, but it wasn’t my favourite pizza. We also ordered the Caesar salad, the broccoli and the beets they were honestly just mediocre. Overall cool environment good place to grab a cocktail And a pizza with some friends

Visited Beast on a Thursday evening while my girlfriend and I were in the area. We wanted to try their pesto pizza, which is only on the dine-in menu. We got a great corner booth right next to the kitchen where we were able to watch the kitchen team cooking it up! Vibes and atmosphere in the small restaurant were great, lots of different things, posters, miscellaneous décor that contributed to a fun space. The Lord Pesto pizza came fresh out of the oven and super gooey! They could have held out on the amount of oil on the dough and in the pan, but it was delicious nonetheless. The pesto and the burrata spread on top made it perfectly creamy and added such good texture. We also added smoked chicken as a protein and it was a good match with the other toppings. We gave this pizza an easy 5⭐️ Will be back to try some other pizzas on the menu!! The dough was worth it enough!

Pizza was tremendous, drinks menu original and extensive (so many cool looking beers and exciting 0% options too!) The table next to us was doing the whole animal dinner which looked out of this world. Would come back for that Amazing mix of local/casual eats and fine dining. Chill, warm, welcoming, knowledgeable staff.

I really enjoyed the classic flavours (e.g. cheese, pepperoni). Great crust with firm undercarriage and minimal flop. Tasty sauce. But I wouldn’t recommend the exotic flavours, other than the Crust Monsieur. The Beef Tongue pizza was borderline inedible. When you bake beef tongue that long it becomes rubber. And the What the Cluck wasn’t much better. Overall, highly recommend the traditional pizzas. But if you want to venture out to the funky part of the menu, do so at your own peril.

I had my eye for this spot for their Whole Animal Dinners, only that their chef's schedule did not match up with my trip days. Yet, my friend and I still came for their regular pizza and pasta menu. This spot has a sports bar vibe, but a fancy dinner lighting, with low key servers and hosts, but their whole animal dinners would be fine dining price. It's a whole lot to take in. While I was very sad about not getting what I wanted for months, I ended up splitting a beef tongue and bacon pizza, a small pasta, and got a shot of Canadian whisky with their house beer. Everything tasted great, I'm not much of a pizza fan but this place stole my heart. Whatever they do with the crust is just super fresh, wasn't dried or tough, very chewy. I had thought beef tongue on pizzas would overcook it, as their thin slices would cook pretty quickly. Their house beer was pretty light, a lager, the packaging is that pizza box design on the can. Nothing fancy, goes down smoothly, goes well with the pizza. Will definitely try to make it out here for their Whole Animal Dinner. It's a 6 course (5 savory, 1 sweet) meal based on a specific protein you have chosen from their list. Adjust for your adventurous levels. Add in wine or beer pairing. There is another option with more courses, my stomach hasn't been able to fit that much, 5 course is fine with me. If I stumble upon the wrong date again and miss this dinner, I'm still trying out more of their pizzas. For the first time, I'm eating pizza not because of sustenance, but for the taste.

Beast pizza has become my favorite pizza place in Toronto. The first time I ordered it, our DoorDash delivery was two hours late. Even with the pizza being completely cold, the pizza was still very, very good, good enough for me to give it second try, and even a third try. I've tried their Beef Tongue and Bacon pizza, their mushroom pizza (with meatballs), their meatball pizza, and their Maccheroni w/ Wild Boar Bolognese. They were all pretty spectacular. Even the crust was good. Definitely due for an actual visit to the restaurant and try it in person.

Pizza review: This was primarily an acclaimed American/Canadian contemporary restaurant known as "Beast," but renamed to "Beast Pizza" in 2022, and changed to a humble Italian bistro. Open 5pm-10pm (yes, 5 hours) every day, closed Monday & Tuesday. Nestled on a residental street corner, it is about a 4 minute walk down some blocks from the renowned, original location of North Of Brooklyn pizza shop. Ordered 16" "Plain Cheese" pie (largest size available; $27), asked "nearly well-done." No modifications allowed (which was perfectly fine). Dough was the standout here: imagine the best, freshest, bread loaf/baguette you ever had. This is what you get here. The edges were superbly airy, and had a nice outer crispiness. Properly thin centre area. Very neutral flavoured. Found the pie to be very bread-centric (which was tolerable since the dough was akin to superb freshly-baked bread). Also, since there are no modifications allowed, the minimal level of toppings made the top-side of the dough cooked (almost) well-done, and this made consuming this bready pie significantly more enjoyable than most other pies. Also, the dough held up fantastically for a well-done pie, with barely any black spots anywhere (sparsely on the outer edges top-side). The cheese and sauce (which was a tiny hint of sweetness) were nothing special, and were "good." No strong herbal, savoury, or "umami" flavour notes. Easily one of the least greasy pizzas we've tried to date, and quite lightweight. Also, arguabley the most impressive pizza box art in the whole city (maybe the whole province). $27 for a "good" 16" pie is not as good as NOB's $26 for an 18," but this is an independent local restaurant/bistro, with other non-pizza, (New World) Italian-themed items (akin to "Conzo's"/"Sugo"), and an intimate atmosphere (probably great for dates and casual get-togethers), so fair premium.

If you are looking for the same food you can get someplace else, for less, then go there instead, please. But, if you have some spirit of adventure, love something genuinely original, thrive on creativity in the conception and execution of truly great food, then you have found your destination -- and that goes triple for the Whole Animal Dinners, which simply have no comparison anywhere. Be brave, and jump in!

We were in Toronto on vacation for a week & the only reservation I made ahead of time was at Beast for their Whole Animal Dinner. We chose duck with a request for weird & adventurous. The restaurant is charming, lively, & inviting...everyone was incredibly friendly. Chef Nathan is an artist & it was a joy to watch him in his element...it instantly calmed me. He has a quiet confidence & excitement about cooking that comes through in every dish he serves. The food was exquisitely creative...I was surprised & delighted over & over again. There are no words to describe these unexpected flavor combinations & the feelings & emotions they brought out in me. You must experience them yourself, like any great work of art. There was nothing to criticize, it was perfection. I didn't wish for even a grain less or more of salt. We were so enamored of this spectacular feast, that we inquired if it would be possible to come back again before leaving town & our request was granted. It was even more marvelous the second time. I feel incredibly lucky to have eaten at Beast & met Chefs Nathan & Scott.

So this is a review for their whole animal dinner and it was absolutely mind blowing. We went to Don Alfonso 1890 a few days later and wished we came back here instead! Their pizza also looked amazing and I was dying to get a pie along with dinner (or borrow a slice from neighbouring diners) but alas, I will need to be back! Unbeknownst to many, Beast Pizza serves up a delicious multi-course nose-to-tail tasting menu of an online pre-selected "theme" that ranges from chicken all the way to elk, venison, bison, offal, and more with your choice of how adventurous you feel (high, med, low). Vegans need not inquire! Although, I'm sure they could make some kick-@$$ vegan food too based on how the chef flavours his food. We came as a group of 7 and selected Elk with a "high" adventurous level. Book well in advance as it's a small restaurant. you also require a min of 4 people for the whole animal dinner. Won't go in-depth into each of the courses as you can look at the pics, but everything was perfectly cooked, seasoned, and flavoured. The things that you'd expect to have either a gamey of irony taste, there wasn't any (although I personally wouldn't have minded). A great example is the elk heart tartare, one of my fav courses. If you didn't tell me it was heart, I would never have guessed! Better than beef tartare. The elk tenderloin and chop were *chef's kiss*. Perfectly cooked and paired with amazing sauces on both. Everyone's plates were literally licked clean. Massive hats off to the Saucier because the sauces truly elevated the dishes. Lastly, the service was top notch. Very attentive and great recommendations on drinks, etc. They also include tip as part of their pricing. This place does no wrong. Highly recommend to anyone for any occasion and will definitely be back as I am eyeing both the bison and offal! Bring on the sweetbreads, liver, kidney, stomach :)

Nice, small place in King West. Pizzas are decent enough but pricey. No tips required and you can tell some of the servers don't give a shit. I give 4 stars mainly because of the location and since it is a small intimate place not because the food or service is any good

One of my favourite staples in the city. A great environment with amazing people behind the curtain. The food has always been amazing but my go to on the regular now is the beef tongue and bacon pizza with uncle Tony's meatballs. Trust me when I say it's that good good.

The bartender was also the host and server... He moved two different parties to different seats while we were literally chewing our main courses... Unacceptable and poor service... The sad thing is that there was no way to complain or say no and we had to comply... I would strongly suggest that the restaurant management reflect on this disrespectful action of forced immediate seating of new customers to the detriment of already paying customers who are part way through their experience! What is the point of tipping staff with tequila shots only to be treated as second class customers???? Do you not realize the optics of moving 2 different bipoc customers so that white customers can be immediately accommodated????

We came on a rainy Thursday evening, so there were not many customers. Amazing food and great customer service!

They have a great mushroom pizza. The service was great. The place is fairly small, so, I would try to call ahead and get a table in advance, if possible. It's a tad expensive but I would still come back to try their other pizzas.

Speechlessly delicious and creative cuisine. The Mrs & I were in town for a Baseball and Foodie Tour. Beast out lived the pack of eateries we visited and finished FIRST. Our experience, Sunday brunch style: fried pickles, "poutine", fried gnocchi, gravy of the day, cheese curds, this Planets Best Bloody Mary, pork belly, peameal bacon with two eggs, house potatoes, chocolate chip French toast, which melts in your mouth, and crab cake Benedict! We walked to the Beast to build a heartier appetite, sadly however, a public transportation was required on our way back to the hotel for delicious food coma nap. "Excellence tucked away in an unsuspecting neighborhood."

My partner and I dined on the patio in the summer when beer, sake, wine were $5 a glass from 4-6pm. Despite seeming small were impressed by the shared plates, in particular the roasted bone marrow and fried chicken sandwich. We always intended on going back but it's kind of out of the way.

This just topped my list of great brunch places! The bone marrow French toast was just bursting with flavour and went beyond my expectations! Everything about this dish was a perfect match in texture and flavour ! Such a brilliant combo! I was so surprised how much I loved the salad dressing. It was so refreshing I had to pick a bottle off their fridge. Will definitely come back.

Short story: if you want to eat here for breakfast, get here early / when it opens. You might still have to wait a while for your grub, but it's worth it. Order a donut to tide yourself over. You can't order booze until 11:00 a.m. You cannot go wrong with the plain beastwich, it's a masterpiece. Choose salad, not potatoes. Long story: We made a plan the night before to get here on time for brunch. We arrived at 10:15 and got the last table on the patio. We're lunchers, not brunchers, so this was a novelty. I decided to celebrate with a brunch drink -- there's a section on the menu called this. When I ordered, I found out you're not allowed to serve/order booze in Toronto before 11:00. Really?! As hopes for breakfast bevvies were dashed all over the patio, the server tried to distract us with the house-made donuts. We shared the one everyone was raving about, the maple bacon. It was covered with real bacon shavings. Odd, and yummy, great texture. People started squirming on the patio because service was super slow, as in no food was coming out. A bunch of plates were delivered to the patio en masse, an hour after we arrived, including our Beastwiches. We both got the signature one, with sausage gravy, fried egg and pimento cheese. This is an incredible sandwich, and a real killer. We didn't eat again that day. The salad dressing is amazing, there's lemongrass in it!! It's perfectly refreshing interspersed with the rich, carby impact of the beastwich. I got half and half salad and potatoes, but next time I'll have 100% salad. Why? The potatoes are not that good (they tasted stale, edges like rubber), likely the only un-yummy thing at Beast.

Small place. Great food. If you decide to come here, come in a small group. It took a while for our table of 4 to get in. We waiting out in the cold for about half an hour as there was no room indoors to wait. Food was delicious though. We had the crispy pigs ear to start and I had the Beastwich as my main. Worth the wait? Yes! It was a nice experience. Glad I can check this resto off my list of must-go places.

This is probaly the quintessential brunch spot in Toronto: punishing wait times, inflated prices, and trendy twists on classic brunch/breakfast items. That being said, the quality of the food is consistently strong (the beastwich in particular is just the perfect gathering of various savory flavors). I also like the fact that they have single-serving French presses for coffee, the selection of which is nicely curated. Overall I'd say Beast is definitely worth a go for weekend brunch, but do yourself a favor and come here a bit early.

Went there for lunch with one friend. Ambiance: When you walk in you have a feeling you walked into someones apartment. The place has a very cozy homey feeling to it. There are 5 tables for 2 people, 4 for 4 people, and 3 for larger groups. They got a patio (it was closed when I was there, but in the summer it would very nice as it is on the quite street). Service (5 stars): There was one person serving everyone, when we got there there the place was mostly empty. The sever came and got us water and was attentive the whole time. Food (5 stars): The food was amazing. Pretty grease but delicous never the less I got the Mad Maple (fried chicken thigh, beast bacon, ontario maple syrup and egg). It came with a side salad. My friend got: huevos rancheros: crispy corn tortillas, mexican-style chorizo, refried black beans, guacamole. The cost for each of us with tax and tip was $18.19

Beast has been on my list of restaurants for awhile, after seeing it featured on You Gotta Eat Here! It took some time convincing friends to check this place out. It's an unassuming restaurant tucked away in a side street, just off King & Bathurst, with a pretty sweet happy hour. $5 drinks and buck-a-shuck oysters? Yes, please! The menu changes regularly, but the shining star is the Beastwich ($11). I've had my fair share of fried chicken and biscuits and gravy, but this combination was one of the best! We didn't get it with the fried egg, but it was already rich with the pool sausage gravy. The fried chicken was nice and crispy and the biscuits were moist. The beef heart tartare ($7) and albacure tuna ceviche ($5) were great value at that price. And we all really liked the grilled squid ($12), which we hope becomes a staple on the menu. Looking forward to my next visit, and can't wait to see what other dishes they come up with on future menus!

Fried chicken, biscuits, and donuts for brunch? YES PLEASE. I got here around noon for Saturday brunch and the place was packed. My friend and I put our names down and waited patiently outside (in the cold) for about 40 minutes. While you're waiting, there's a menu outside which you can use to decide what you want to order so you can order as soon as you get a table. I only wish they would start taking numbers so that you could roam around while you wait and they'll text you once your table is ready. Apart from the standard French toast, and breakfast plates, they have their fried chicken sandwiches. My friend got the Beastwich and I got the Bruce Leroy. I actually preferred the Bruce Leroy over the Beastwich because the sweet soy sauce was a nice contrast to the biscuit and fried chicken. Their duck confit French toast also looks fantastic. Also, you really can't leave without getting a donut. They have daily specials, so the flavours are always changing. The donuts are super doughy and a little chewy. A perfect way to end your meal and put you into a deep state of (food) comatose.

I came with a friend to Toronto and this was our last meal before our flight. We saw the great Yelp reviews so we decided to try it. To sum it up, my friend said it best - the food was fine, but more of the instagram-able dish variation. I thought the fried chicken was good, but depending on the piece, it was really good and juicy or stringy and chewy. We got the Beast sandwich, the sandwich with kimchee, the "poutine" with lamb ragu and the fried pickles. The sandwiches were ok - some interesting combinations, the fried pickles were too thin to my friend's liking and the lamb ragu poutine was more sauce-like than gravy-like (I asked prior to ordering) - it wasn't poutine at all really, but the fried gnocchi was pretty good. I'm glad I tried the place, as it was recommended by Yelpers and friends alike, but bummed it didn't live up to the hype for me. I might be willing to try it again in the future.

One of my favorite places in Toronto! Fried chicken and biscuits are all you need in life. The main entree menu is a variety of fried chicken and biscuit sandwiches. I tried the Beastwich and the Bruce Leroy, both sandwiches were delicious but I think the Beastwich was just a bit better. The only problem with the Bruce Leroy was the kimchi, it was a bit saltier and more soy based than usual kimchi. For appetizers, I sampled the pork hocks, fried mussels and chicken park poutine. All three were as amazing as I expected. Looking forward to trying the other appetizers and sandwiches on my next Toronto trip.

I LOVE the brunch food here. I'm all for locally sourced food! I've tried the Ace Hill brunch with pork hock (the pork hock is AMAZING) and their infamous beastwich. The food is great!! That being said, I've been here before and noticed portions shrunk slightly in the last few years. Also, expect to wait 20-60 minutes for a seat. We were a party of 3 and they didn't seat us for 15 min even though there were 3-4 empty tables of 2. It seemed like the could have just pushed 2 tables together but didn't want to.

Mad maple burger (very tasty), pork sliders, bone marrow, poutine gnocchi, Buffalo chicken burger Pros + Friendly and prompt service + Amazing food. My faves by far were the maple bacon, bone marrow and pork slider. The lighting was dim and romantic. Parking was hard to find, unsurprisingly, as it was nestled in Toronto. We made reservations on a Saturday evening but judging from the traffic, you can probably do without. It made for a pleasant evening.

Beast is one of my favourite places in Toronto for brunch, even though I don't get to go there very often. It maintains a definite "treat" status when we're making brunch plans, mostly because of cost. Despite this, I relish every visit with a child-like anticipation. The cool decor, ambiance and excellent service hit the mark every time. In terms of the food I LOVE the "Buffalo Bird". A fried chicken thigh with lettuce, pickles, ranch and buffalo sauces, draped over an English muffin. The chicken is melt-in-your-mouth good and is very filling. Other menu items I've tried include the eggs benedict with peameal which was also delicious, and the peameal was 1/2" thick - I'm not joking! Apart from that there's the standard brunch burger, scrambled eggs, huevos rancheros and a classic breakfast. There are some more eclectic items on the menu such as bone marrow toast and pigs ears, in addition to a rotating specials menu on the board. Everything here is made with care and attention and you can really tell, which makes the cost worth it in my opinion, even if it's only once in a while. Fun fact: They cater, and if you're a complete carnivore you and your group can order a "whole animal" dinner to create a six course tasting menu using a different part of the animal for every course.

Beast is one of Charlie's Burgers wine program's partners for August. It's super cozy and has a cute patio. * Bone marrow with escargot and mushrooms: this is my absolute favorite! Mushroom soaked up all the flavor and it's so rich and delicious! * Bison Tartare with chimichurri sauce: it tastes very much like a steak tartare and the sauce is delicious! * Burrata salad: the pickled grape added a refreshing acid taste to the salad! * Boar chop with tahini sauce: it's similar to a pork chop but with more texture, and the tahini sauce goes perfectly with it! *Sticky pudding: soaked in sweet syrup and yum!

We had multiple dishes and they all tasted like a bunch of greasy stuff piled together. I was not able to tell what I was eating most of the time other than feeling greasy. I was also feeling gross after the meal for the rest of the day. The duck French toast was the best dish out of it. At least it tasted somewhat good and I kind of was able to taste the food. The biscuit sandwich was the worst. It was just gross. The potato was soggy. I don't think I have had worst.

Yummy!!! Came two times (once in two years ago and one just last month), both time were great. I recommend to come early so there's no need to line up in the cold..... I would come again!! The seating is a bit tight between tables especially in winter.... with winter jacket etc.

This bad boy is worth the wait. We got there just past noon-time and we didn't get seated and get our food until 1:30pm. That said, we were dying of hunger, but Beast did not disappoint. I got the beastwhich with salad and potatoes on the side. I wish I got just the salad, not to say that the potato wasn't good. In fact, it was one of the best I've ever had. It was somewhat crunchy outside and packed in flavour. I just wish I got the salad because it's a good break from all that fried chicken, gravy and biscuit. Also, the dressing is unforgettable! It had a kick of ginger, perhaps? I'm not really good at figuring out what is what, but it reminded me of the dressing you get with your complimentary salad on Japanese restaurants, but tastier. As for the beastwhich itself, everything about it was perfect! The biscuit is well done, soft and tasty. The gravy wasn't too much that it was overpowering and the chicken, one of the best I've ever had. It was still juicy, very tender and oh em gee, so good! The only thing I'd say is to have a small snack on your way here so you're not starving, waiting for the table. Aside from that, it's a must try!

Decided to come for the first time after the Flower Market. The place was full but not too busy. We we're seated outside after a 5-10 min wait without any hassle. I got the Ace Hill breakfast with the full hog option minus the ace hill. This dish was pretty filling, packed with various kinds of protein. This dish curbed my appetite and definitely lives up to the restaurant's name. Will be coming back for the Beastwich next.

Solid location for brunch. I've walked by here a few times and there is often a line so we decided to try it on a Saturday at noon and was surprised there was no wait. We had the "Poutine", Smoked meat burger, French Toast, and a coffee. The "Poutine" is fried gnocchi, Ragu, and cheese curds, it was their special poutine "gravy" of the day. The smoked meat burger with a patty, montreal-style smoked meat, and an egg was very good and my favorite of the meal. My boyfriend's favorite was the french toast with duck confit which was also amazing. Overall everything was really good and with quality you can taste. Even the coffee with single origin beans from Nicaragua is pure quality. Can't go wrong with Beast for brunch!

This felt like another place where the hype may have overpromised, and it just did not live up to it. When I arrived 10 minutes before opening on a Saturday in the middle of winter, I thought for sure I was going to be first, but I was one of the last parties to be seated, with a party of two (TIP: if your whole party isn't there, they will not seat you). The ambiance is very old timey, with definite hipster undertones. Service is good, but pretty unremarkable. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich that came with guacamole and tomato sauce (which I got on the side) on a biscuit bun. The fried chicken was good and not overcooked, moist on the inside and crispy on the outside (what put me off, was the large pieces at the end which were just fried batter with no meat). The biscuit was fluffy, but not substantial enough for the sandwich at all, it seemed more like the piece of bread that goes under fried food to absorb the wet oil. The tomato sauce taste like blended canned tomatoes, so I'm really glad I got it on the side, it would have make the whole sandwich way too wet, and the guacamole just seemed like your standard guac. The coffee is done in a french press, so coffee connoisseurs should be happy, but as someone who wants the coffee to flow freely with breakfast, I was not as happy by the limited french press deliverings. Would I go back...probably only if someone else wanted to go...

Asked a few friends for brunch reco's and majority went with Beast. We were in the area near by so we went to check this place out. Pretty small space so come early otherwise you'd be waiting for a while for a table. We got lucky with the last table for 2 but it was beside the door so it was a little cold. Didn't know what to get so looked at yelp for photos. I ended up getting the eggs bene (soo basic I know with peameal bacon) and my bf got the bone marrow french toast. He got it because it was unique. Eggs bene, it was just ok. I haven't had an eggs bene where it wasn't overcooked. I didn't like the peameal bacon because it was thick like a porkchop. My gut should have went with the avocado for bene. The bone marrow french toast was interesting. Wasn't too sweet or too salty. The pork that was shredded on top was soft yet at times crispy and reminded me of asian pork grinds. "ji yok see" LOL. Toppled with a sweet drizzle sauce and cranberries. Surprisingly was a good mash up. Overall bill after tax and tip came up to around $50. 3* for eggs bene 4.5* for french toast

Be prepared to wait if you're planning to visit! On a Saturday afternoon, our party of three waited for about 45 minutes. I'd recommend going around the corner to Shy Coffee Co. to grab a coffee while you wait! We ordered three dishes, the duck confit French toast, the Bruce Leroy, and the Mad Maple. The winner in my opinion is definitely the duck confit french toast! It's a unique take on french toast, the toast tasted great, and the cranberry sauce was the perfect compliment. As for the sandwiches, I couldn't taste the kimchi in the Bruce Leroy, so I would have liked that a bit more. The chicken in both sandwiches was tender, and not over-fried which I greatly appreciate! I would say the sandwiches were good, but not overly memorable in comparison to the french toast. Overall ambiance was very rustic, and a very cozy place to have brunch on a weekend!

This place is awesome!! Maple bacon donut - ah-may-ZING!! The breakfast sandwich... Even better!! The portions are super filling. They also have really interesting flavoured coffees which come out with a French press and a timer. When the timer goes off you press it down - making their coffee super fresh. Totally drool worthy! I'd totally come back and try other things.

Definitely going to be a regular here. They've changed things up recently with asian elements like scallions and kimchi in some of their more popular dishes. I'm definitely coming back to try to Pig Ears, but we ordered the House Special Sandwich (can't remember what it's called but it's smack in the middle of the menu and crazy delicious with egg, kimchi, and tons of other flavours). Also ordered the Boar Poutine. Now if you've never had boar, don't expect pulled pork flavor - it's more akin to beef. Fries are also more of the 'tator tot' variety, which was so nice to see, since as a brunch place, makes more sense to have those rather than full blown french fries. Both dishes were very rich, full of flavour, and absolutely delicious. Staff are attentive, prompt and friendly. Would definitely come back again!

Had a wonderful Brunch experience at Beast. Coming in for a late brunch on a Sunday afternoon, we had to wait about 15-20 minutes for a table of two. Located on a quiet street, the restaurant probably doesn't look the most attractive if you walked by. Service was fine with nothing noteworthy. The food on the otherhand was excellent: Beastwich 5/5: Biscuits fried chicken sandwich, gravy and homefries/salad. I really enjoyed this and would recommend! Meat Scramble 4/5: Almost like an omelette. They had an excellent sauce on top. Came with the homefries and salad sides as well. French Press Brazil Coffee 2.5/5: Average and not really worth $4. Overall, I really enjoyed Beast and I'd come back to try more of the menu (probably the dinner menu specifically)!

The Beast is the only bruch worth the wait in line for. Even in the coldest days of winter. This place is a meat lovers delight. We came on a Saturday morning at 10am, just before the real brunch rush hit. We still had to wait about 20 mins for them to get the table ready. As soon as we were seated there was a line up of 30 + people outside. Between me, my wife and my siblings we ordered the following dishes. French Toast with duck confit, cranberry mostarda, whipped creme fraiche, and a side of maple syrup. The Beast Wedge Salad with iceberg lettuce, fried chicken, beast bacon, tomatoes, pickled onions, fried onions, ranch or blue cheese dressing. Bone Marrow French Toast with one slice of french toast topped with a roasted marrow bone, duck confit, cranberry mostarda, whipped creme fraiche, and maple syrup. I've never experienced a dish like the Bone Marrow French Toast. It was bursting with flavour and the juice from the marrow just overflowed onto the french toast. Yum! I highly recommend this place for brunch, but make sure you come early enough so that you dont freeze in line outside!

My expectations for Beast was quite high due to the strong reviews for it on Yelp. It's situated in a residential area so you might miss it and the inside is quite cozy and chill. I ordered the huevos rancheros and substituted the sheep's milk feta for any other cheese (they did cheddar). My boyfriend ordered the ace hill breakfast + sides of pork belly (2pc) and chorizo sausage (1pc). The huevos rancheros was good, it had a spicy kick to it with the chorizo sausage. It was very dense and filling, and I felt like too much was going on in one bite so it was hard to tell what you were eating. The extra side of pork belly was okay, as I don't think I like it fried, and I really enjoyed the chorizo sausage. But they (esp the chorizo) was def not worth an extra $6 each. Overall, the service was good and the food was decent but I think I've been to other places that I enjoyed more.

Very good brunch with original dishes! A little wait is required but it's decent. Staff is nice and friendly. We enjoyed Benedict with smoked fish salad, the chicken sandwich and the breakfast plate. The price is a bit high for the serving tho... (Benedict eggs: $19)

I always pass by this restaurant and see a long line. I must admit food always looked amazing. Last weekend my friends decided to go to this restaurant. I get impatient and absolutely don't love long wait lines. I must admit I went in thinking I will wait for so long and will be disappointed. I waited 20 minutes. We were seated and told that it will be another 15 to 20 min for food. That was fine with us. I had huevos rancheros with a salad. The meal was with the right amount of spice for my taste. Everything was so fresh. The salad had this vinaigrette (lime) that I have never tried anywhere else. Originality was a 10/10. Tatse was 10/10. Great customer service 10/10. Thank you so much!

Here for brunch. Very small divey type of place that seems attract line up on a winter morning. There's no waiting area inside so if you are a bit late you wait outside. The menu is very hearty, large portion. I chose the ace hill breakfast and you choose your meat. I went with bacon and it came with a glorious portion of bacon strips, I think at least 5 or more. The toast was also very well done. Since it was brunch, I didn't go for the beer option, but I've heard it's supposed to compliment the flavour. The plan is to come back for dinner to try the whole animal menu...

Gord and I had brunch today at Beast. Though it's been around for about six years, we just heard about it a couple months ago and wanted to check it out. It seats about 35 people and was jammed when we got there about 10:45am. We got the second last free table. Gord started with an Ethiopian coffee which is made with a French press. A timer lets you know when it's ready We both ordered the Labatt 50 breakfast. Gord got his with a Labatt 50 and I got mine with a mimosa. Gord got his breakfast with Beast bacon, challah bread and half mixed greens and half potatoes. He said it was very good. I got mine with peameal bacon, challah bread and potatoes. Mine too was very good. They also serve fresh donuts and today's flavours were maple bacon, chocolate mocha and caramel glazed with Chicago popcorn on top. I had planned on getting one for dessert but I didn't have any room. Next time! Aliza was our server and she took good care of us. We'll be back!

I had my birthday brunch here and it was delicious. The restaurant is set amongst a bunch of houses in a side street off King West/Queen West. It is inside a remodelled house. Once inside you realize the entire restaurant is essentially a living room. It is a small space. That doesn't really matter though because the food is good. I had the Beastwich which was delicious. The chicken was good and yummy, I would have it on its own if it was offered on their lunch or dinner menu. The biscuit was flaky & light. There was a pimento cheese in the sandwich that really sets the whole thing off. The waitress suggested potatoes which I had but the Beastwich is so filling I really didn't need it. I was told about the donuts they offer but it didn't seem to be on the menu that day. I think Beast is good if you want to have a carb heavy indulgent comfort food type of meal. I'll definitely be back.

This place was on my list for for awhile. I ended up going on a very cold Wednesday night. I was very surprised when Google said "You have arrived at your destination". Beast is located on a street that I will never know how to pronounce, the closest intersection is King St and Tecumseth. It is a very small restaurant, with a very very small kitchen. I sat down with a friend aka my soulmate and foodie partner Bubbles (my favorite person to eat with) and we already knew what we wanted. We ordered the Fried Gnocchi Poutine, The Beastwich: fried chicken thigh, pimento cheese, pork sausage gravy and dessert which was some sort of Toffee Bread Pudding. We told the server that we were hungry but she still suggested just one sandwich to split. If you eat like myself and my friend, please do yourself a favor and order one each. The Fried Gnocci Poutine was interesting, I liked the Fried Gnocci aspect, but I didn't like the sauce. That evening it was a curry based sauce (not a fan of curry). It also wasn't what we expected, Poutine is supposed to be cheesy and covered in hot gravy. I gotta give the chef some points for creativity. Next up, our Beastwich arrived. It was very small. Looking back now, the Chef should use a larger biscuit. We cut the sandwich in half but couldn't pick it up. The biscuit was falling apart. The fried chicken is MASSIVE, very very crispy. I wish it had more flavor though. Finally dessert! It was SO sweet, and we asked the waitress who explained how it was made with butter and caramel. It was like eating a bowl of melted werthers. Was way too sweet for our liking. The service was great and I would come back for maybe brunch. Keep Eating, Angela

Yes-yes-yes! The Beast may be the best local brunch gem I've ever found. Here's my brunch ranking for eggs Benny: Beast \ Average Joes \ Senator \ Eggspectation \ Aunties and Uncles \ Our Spot = Open Avenue Kitchen. The eggs Benny was perfectly cooked with an incredibly zesty salad and their house made potatoes and ketchup were spot on. It's worth the trek to the Bathurst and King area and we will be back! About $40 for 2 people, casual vibe, family and couple friendly with prompt service. Make the trip and brunch already!

Came on a Sunday, at 12:30 you would think line up will be shorter. Got seated at 1:30. There is no indoor seating or waiting area, so we had to stand outside to wait. Looking at fellow yelpers' pictures, the Beastwich seems to be a popular choice so that's what I ordered. The pictures I saw had greens on the side. I guess I have to order that on the side because mine didn't come with it. My son had the Mad maple. Crispy chicken, bacon, fried egg with maple syrup on a biscuit. I liked this better than the beast which but I could probably just eat half because it is too sweet. Most of the menu items have fried chicken in it. So definitely not a vegan destination. Disappointed that they didn't have regular coffee nor cappuccino. They have the French pressed coffee. Different flavours to choose from but most of them are fruit infused or sweet ( like sugarcane, or marshmallow). The place is small. Faster to be seated if you come in 2s. They can't accommodate groups of 8 or more. The floor was vibrating, felt like there's a machine underneath. A lot of mirrors on the wall and some weird pieces of art- animal head with human hands lying down on the grass. I think this place is geared more towards the younger generation. The music, the decor, the high calorie menu items. I feel old!

Where meat lovers meet to eat meat!!! Spelling lesson aside, this place is the best...or the beast even ;) Brunch was amazing, from my virgin ceasar to my meat scramble, I was tickled pink by the choices and if you want biscuits (cause doesn't everyone?) they have legit biscuits and even a southern style biscuits and gravy option or try some fun takes on a fried chicken biscuit sandwich. If you sit outside, you may be sharing with the wasps so consider yourself warned.

Man, this place is popular for being a hidden restaurant located in a cute residential neighborhood. We arrived at 11AM and waited an hour to be seated; they didn't take reservations. There was outside seating (dog friendly but no shade though); we preferred sitting inside. For food, the Beastwich (fried chicken with sausage gravy biscuit sandwich) was crave-worthy... as in I'm craving it right now at 8AM. It's very heavy though so you might want to eat only salads for the rest of the day or run a marathon after... Also tried the duck confit French toast and the donuts (strawberry chocolate and blueberry), not as memorable as the sandwich, but not bad choices if you're craving for sweets. I love that they offer David's Tea on the menu - try the vanilla earl grey! Next time, arrive at 10AM opening time to avoid the long wait.
