Wendel Clark’s

This place is grossly over priced.
Wing and rib combo comes with 3 wings for 24 bucks.
Worst I’ve ever seen. You’d be better off going to the Dave and Busters or the Boston Pizza.

Monday night, as expected, was quite empty.
An average sports bar. Service was average.
Had the dry cajun chicken wings — chicken was stringy and hard.
Buddy indicated his burger were quite dry.
Suggest to come only for beer and drinks.

Service sucks and the night menu whatever they serve the portions are the size of cafeteria items you order in high school, its a cash grab. I asked for loaded nachos with chicken that costs around $ 16.99, there were barely any nachos and no chicken at all, I sent it back they literally chopped up some chicken and tossed it on, didn’t redress the whole thing, I was really disappointed. The beer is extremely flat and the waitresses don’t give two shits about their service.

Looks like wendal clark has fallen on hard times. Ordered a beer. Sorry were out. Ordered a coke and orange soda. Sorry were out. Finally got a beer that was disgusting. Service was terrible. By far the worst restaurant I have ever been to.

The food was great! Too bad the service sucked.

Went last night with a group of around 8 of us. First impression, not bad… The layout and atmosphere was nice. Bar was lit up and lots of seating ! A lot of people looked under age and no security IDing, considering its 2.99 bar rail all night… But hey, that’s not my problem.
MY problem was the service. Edwina was attentive at first, and by first, I mean like the first 30 mins. After that, it was like trying to find Waldo. The drinks each took 15 mins to come, and the bill took an additional 30. I came at 10:00, left close to 2… I only ordered 4 drinks, prettty much back to back. Asked for the bill at 1, received at 1:28… If that gives you any indication of the timeline. If she was the only waitress on the floor, then fine, no problem. But she wasn’t. Far from it.
At the end of the night, everyone in the group left visibly upset, many of us have actually been there before, and have said that this service has never happened before. So here’s to hoping that my next time there will be different.
If there will be a next time.

This past saturday, I went here for a friends birthday party. Décor and atmosphere could use some work but is typical of a sports bar. The whole evening could be best described as mediocre. Service was a bit slow and a bit unfriendly, but i reasoned that it was a party of fifteen and perhaps she was busy or overwhelmed.
All of this could have easily have been forgotten if they hand’t applied a 17% auto gratuity without telling the majority of the party. Being a long time server/​bartender myself, I tipped 18%, despite my assessment of the service, assuming someone in the party would be harsher and not wanting anyone to have a poor night (the server.)
When I realized that I had unwittingly tipped 32%, I spoke with the server. She told me that they usually explained the tipping policy on the phone when the reservation is being made. I argued that it is not the persons, who brought 15 people into your establishment, responsibility to explain your restaurants policy, it’s yours. She said shed speak with her supervisor. Nothing was done about it.
In my decade of experience in the service industry, I have never added a tip without first acknowledging it to the customer. This practice has the potential to leave patrons feeling robbed.

Worst experience ever. I have Celiac disease, called ahead and was told it would be no problem to accommodate. Travelled to Vaughan with 3 friends and was turned away by the hostess because «it was too busy to accommodate for a dietary condition».
I wrote a review on their website on January 19^th and did not even get an apology. Tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but without a reply that’s hard.

On a Friday evening, torn between trying out the Ivy and growling stomach. You guessed it, the hunger won. We decided to try Wendell Clark’s on a rainy cold night. We both tried the fish N chips. I’m glad I opted for dinner than drinks and Loud music.
Ambiance wasn’t the greatest, there were groups of men watching the game, but that was to be expected if a sports bar. Service wasn’t outstanding either, as the waitress forgot to give us malt vinegar and ketchup. But the food was good. I didn’t have high expectations but I was mistaken. Serving was huge and the fish was crispy and delicious. I wouldn’t mind coming back for fish N chips and a cold draught.

poutain was tasty, but the crunchy haddock is excellent. it was a huge piece of fish and the salt and vin chips breading was excellent. highly recommend it. others at my table had the talapia dish, which looked boring as did the salmon dish. The burgers were also excellent.
However, I have still not had a decent beer in Canada. someone needs to import a nice hoppy IPA from the pac nw of the US, or a nice English bitter.

We come here about once a month after a meeting. We usually have about 20 – 25 people. We used to go to another restaurant nearby, but they kept closing the kitchen early on us. We have not had that problem here.
The servers are always friendly and they keep the drinks flowing and the food coming. It can be pretty slow on a random Tuesday night at 10pm and sometimes, although I can never understand it, servers are upset to see large groups come in — but not here! In fact, the last two times, the manager has come over and sincerely thanked us for coming in.
Wendel Clark’s is set up like a typical sports bar with plenty of tvs and open seating all around. The programming on the tvs tend to be a little hockey-​centric fir my taste, but — hey — we are in. Canada after all. The menu is typical bar food and the quality is average, but it does help the beer go down smoother.
You won’t be disappointed in a visit to Wendel Clark’s.

Typical sports pub décor and vibe walking in only with Wendel himself walking around talking to the guests. He came by our table and said hello (extra star). I got star studded from him and his glory days wearing the C for the leafs.
The service overall was great, friendly staff and even though they made a mistake on a side dish they made rushed out the order at no additional cost.
I ordered the Buffalo chicken sandwich (one of my favorites) and it was good. The baguette maybe too much bread. Two chicken fillets drenched with franks red hot sauce. I really enjoyed it. The person I was with ordered the meat loaf. I had a bite, it was great but a little too salty for me.
I would probably go back, the prices were typical Boston Pizza prices.

The bad:
Wings were bad.
Burgers were frozen
Washrooms were absolutely filthy (think club)
We asked for Wendell sized beer and were told because the glasses weren’t cleaned we couldnt get it
…dude clean your glasses
Food overall was very mediocre
Visa machine didn’t work p roperlly
Ugh.
Overall this was the worst pub bar we’ve been too. For crying out loud clean your washroom

Figured we come here for leafs games since it’s named Wendel Clark’s, but the experience just isn’t living up to expectations.
The bartender is nice (forget her name), and the manager is welcoming and actually chats w us.
Food is good but nothing to write home about.
The 2^nd time here our group sat at a table instead of the bar. The waitress serving us was not personable. I don’t think any of us saw her smile. It wasn’t only our table who was frowned on either.
The place was cold the 2^nd time we visited. They claim the heat was on the fritz.
One guy complained his beer was warm and his pop was flat.
They don’t have HD on their tv’s.
Hopefully the next time we end up here it’s a better experience, if we end up here again… there’s a pub a couple doors down.
I’ll give 3 stars for now as the aforementioned bartender was good (who also remembered us the 2^nd time we came), and the manager was welcoming both times (who also remembered us).

Came here for a party of about 25 people and although the birthday girl booked a VIP/​booth seating area weeks ago, it was given away last minute and we ended up being seated within the open area.
Upon arriving, it took a really long time (30 mins) to finally get our drinks. Between getting the drinks and our food, I basically emptied my pint by that time. And I was sipping conservatively… At that point I was filled with liquid and didn’t actually feel too hungry anymore
I ordered the chicken parm — took about another 30 minutes to arrive. Along with that, not everyone’s entrees arrived at the same time so some of us were waiting and some of the food got cold.
The chicken parm — I should post a picture but I have to say the chicken to pasta ratio was rather off. The chicken parm was probably the size of butterflied whole chicken breast with about a fistful of pasta. Normally I wouldn’t have complained if the chicken parm wasn’t dry, but it was topped with a tad too little tomato sauce. No complaints with pasta, in fact they even shredded it so I could eat it easier and not make a mess with the tomato sauce.
The décor and furnishing just felt like what all stars or puck&wings, St. Louis would have been 4 – 5 years ago. Old furnishing and even the VIP room looked like a cafeteria.
Service was slow and most of the servers seemed very uncoordinated.
Best part about coming here for the party was the cake, and we brought that, unfortunately

Came on May 4 2013 for the Yuk Yuk’s comedy club. Did not try the food, so cannot say anything about it.
THE WOMEN’S WASHROOM IS IN HORRIBLE CONDITION!!! Where is the management??? The ceiling and the bottom of the wall are gone and looks like you are in a dungeon. I wanted to take pictures just so they speak louder then words, but after opening the feminine product disposal unit, I ran out of the washroom like in a horror scene. It looked like it hasn’t been cleaned in months and is filled with what I cannot even called water, since it looks like a butcher’s garbage bin. And the smell could kill even a fly. WHERE IS THE HEALTH INSPECTOR!!! I asked to speak with a manager, who did not appear like the managerial type. He could see how shocked I am, and still just replied in a quick and couldn’t-care-less «it will be fixed» comment.

I was invited by Kris to attend an event. The group was quite welcoming.
Ordered a few appetizers and a coke. The wings I found to be a bit dry, unlike juicy wings that I have had at other places.
The servers are great as they do come to check up on you and even bring you a refill before you can ask for it.
I’m assuming that because we were there early on Thursday it was not packed, however when we were leaving, the dining room started to pick up.

First time at this place as I participated in the CMYE event hosted by Kris for the Unilocal GTA event, and I was pretty impressed. Usually bar and grills give me the impression that it is extremely loud, rowdy, and even a bit unclean, but this place was quite the opposite. It looked pretty classy and although the TV and music was on, it wasn’t too loud that it would distract me from talking with others.
Service was very attentive, they were really quick in getting drinks and refills as well as giving us new clean plates halfway through. I liked their appetizers, none were too greasy, and was a fan of their sweet potato fries as well as their dips. Would definitely consider going back to this bar if I was in the area.
Side note: They had pretty good music choices.

I wanted to send a big thank you to this venue for hosting the first CMYE for the Unilocal GTA group. Franchesca and her staff were super professional, helpful and attentive to our group of 15’s needs.
Not one of us ever went longer than a minute with an empty glass. I would definitely recommend coming here with a group like we did for their amazing Thursday night drink specials ($ 3.50 bottles) and some apps to share amongst friends.
The group of us shared in platters of Sweet potato fries, Hat trick dip’s and chicken wings. The party seemed to really love the naan bread that came with the dips over the chips as they disappeared quickly. The chipotle mayo that came with the perfectly cooked sweet potato fries was very tasty with just the right amount of «zip» — just like Wendel’s wrist shot. The wings were a nice flavor cooked very well — I know wings are simple BUT you would be surprised how easy it is to mess them up. Points to WC’s.
I have to give an extra thank you to the hostess who went above and beyond the call of duty with helping me to set up some balloons and other items in anticipation of my guests. Also a big THANK YOU to the manager Frachesca for opening up the drink specials earlier for our group — it was greatly appreciated.
I have been here previously for dinner as well (which is what made me choose this as our meeting place) and the food is always top shelf. I will be back especially once hockey season starts :)
Thanks again Wendel Clark’s for a great night :)

I ate at Wendel Clark’s during a Leafs game about a week ago. The place is pretty much the perfect place to go if you are hanging out with some friends and watching a game. They have hockey memorabilia all around, the food is easy to eat while watching the game.
Pros: Great Atmosphere, lot’s of tvs to watch the game on. The prices were pretty reasonable. The staff was pretty good.
Cons — The waiter I had was always in our face like every two minutes. I understand he wants to be attentive, but he was a little bit too much so.
Overall
The nachos took a while to get there because of some accident in the kitchen, but they made up for it with a free round, and admitted it, which was admirable, so it wasn’t so much a both. I was surprised by the Sandwich I got, it was quite good, not at all what I was expecting, but I enjoyed it.
All in all, if you are in the area, and are looking for somewhere to watch the game with friends, I would definitely recommend it
