It was lunchtime on Sunday, and we were on The Danforth looking for a place to eat. We were thinking about a pub or something similar, and Factory Girl fit the bill. Right on the front cover of the menu you can read that the restaurant is named after a Rolling Stones song. There were posters of various rock bands around the room.
One of the first things I noticed was their brunch special Bloody Caesar for $5.00, so that was any easy choice for me. It was a decent enough drink.
We looked at the brunch menu, but it seemed a bit pricier than other brunch places of similar scale. Eggs Bennie with a side would have been over $16. Instead SWMBO chose the Caesar Salad and added Cajun Chicken; a fairly decent portion of chicken and a pleasant salad.
I ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich. Tender pork, tangy/smokey BBQ sauce, and pretty good fries.
Overall a good lunch.
The meatballs were amazing. I highly recommend them! Also my pizza was fantastic, the Salvatore for the win! Will definitely be back! Loved sitting out on their great back patio. This place would be great to come to with my co-workers.
I’ve heard great things about Factory Girl on the Danforth, so I was excited to visit the gastropub for a recent birthday lunch. Factory Girl is located closer to Broadview Avenue. There’s a Green P parking lot within walking distance, which
A great gastropub spot on the Danforth. Not for the calorie conscious though! But delicious and worth it. We came here for a later night bite and were served quickly and attentively. I ordered the Factory pizza and it was the perfect mix of meat and cheese. I will definitely be back to try out more items on the menu!
Pre-concert dinner on a Saturday night before heading over to the Danforth music hall.
Menu looked pretty decent (a bit on the expensive side in my opinion) but I didn't want to order too much food since I wouldn't be able to take my leftovers home. I ended up just getting an appetizer size Mac and cheese which was actually enough for me since I had a late lunch.
My food was very tasty, the sauce was on the runny side but I liked the addition of the tomatoes and mushrooms. Bf tried the caesar salad and pulled pork poutine and enjoyed both.
Pretty good cocktail list, I tried a Roxanne (rum, pineapple juice, Ginger ale and bitters), and enjoyed it. Bf had a mint julep and Manhattan.
Good service. Would go back again to try the pizza if I wasn't going to a concert after and could take my leftovers home. The Giuseppi sounded good.
I dropped in to the Factory Grill on Friday night. It was busy inside but I was seated pretty quickly. I ordered the hot wings w/ fries and a pint of beer for $25. The food was good and the service was friendly! I'll have to go back and try some other menu items.
I have officially decided that food is my life. Everything I do ends up revolving around food, even if it wasn't the initial theme. So here we are, going to a concert at the Danforth Music Hall and all I can think of is where to eat before hand.
Allen's would normally be my first choice for the neighborhood, but I wasn't overly hungry and more peckish.
Just east of the music hall on the same side is this gem of a restaurant. With a cocktail to start and pulled pork tacos from the appetizer menu, this hit the spot.
The service was great, very friendly and the tacos were generous in size (for appetizers) and tasty.
I ordered the homemade doughnut with honey for dessert and almost fell out of my chair with joy. It was so delicious.
Gord and I had supper at the Factory Girl. We sat on the patio which was so nice. Gord and I both ordered wings. I got mine medium with fries and Gord got his cajun with onion rings. We both enjoyed our meals and would get them again. Emilie was our server. She was friendly and took good care of us.
Loved it!. My boyfriend and me went to the Factory Girl Restaurant so we could try the wine-pairing menu. Another couple we know recommended it, so we thought we would splash out on a dinner together... and we are so glad we did! We had to make a reservation, but it was worth the wait as the 5-course meal was delicious! My boyfriend is more of a wine expert than I am.. to be honest, I don’t know much about it, but I completely loved the wine that was paired with each part of the meal! It felt like the wine was carefully selected to compliment each flavour and it was a great experience!
After our meal, I told a few friends about Factory Girls, who have also since been there and loved it too! I would definitely go back to this restaurant again and try the other food and drinks also as I had such a fantastic experience the first time!
Best Restaurant on The Danforth. Factory Girl has great food, service and atmosphere. On a visit in the summer our server suggested the Factory Chicken with linguine. I have had it every visit since. It's the best chicken I have ever had. I suggested to the manager that they spice up the description on the menu as I would never have thought to order it without a suggestion. The place has a great feel inside that blends perfectly with the classic rock they play. Factory Girl, I want your playlist!! I have never written a review in my life before this, that's how much I love this place,
