Rashers

Out of necessity (hunger and no where else close by to go) I tried Rashers again. This time I had their breakfast sandwich. Basically it is the «egg mcmuffin» on steroids less all the preservatives and antifungal shit MacDonald’s uses. I do have to give McDonalds credit, they do use real eggs from a shell, not bottled or worse, like Starbucks that prepares their eggs days in advance, sprays them with chemicals like airplane food to keep them fresh looking. LOL sorry about the rampage. I get so upset that none of this is disclosed. Back to Rashers, they have won me over. The breakfast sandwich is fast, fresh and made to order as all of their sandwiches are. I have now become a bit of a regular. If you haven’t tried it, do, and you will experience the taste of real food made fresh while you wait.

So never tied rashers and they popped up on my foodora app that I used once and only once. I ordered a couple of sandwiches from them through foodora and they never received, accepted nor delivered my order. I called the restaurant and it sounded like they did not know how to use the app and confirmed that the order was not there. After checking with foodora and having my order refunded I tried sending an email to rashers to let them know that I will not order from this restaurant while tied to a useless company like foodora and their email came back as no one tied to that email. This experience has taught me that restaurants in Leslieville have a long way to go in understanding customer service that leads to repeat business.
Update: After posting this review the owner contacted me to tell me that he will make it right Monday by contacting foodora. But what he failed to understand is that while foodora is to blame for this cockup he failed to do anything and everything to deliver me food. If the delivery service he chose failed to deliver it would have been impressive for him to have asked what I ordered and delivered it himself. But all he came up were excuses. Moving on as Toronto has better more reliable places to eat.
Update 2: After two days I received a text at work to tell me that my food order from Rashers was here. Funny, I thought I cancelled it two days ago and my order definitely is not at work. They even delivered it to the wrong address. Incompetence, the only word to describe this whole mess!
Update 3: Food was delivered because Foodora missed the boat. So we decided to eat up the now cold sandwiches and taste food we literally did not wait for. For the price I found it underwhelming. I had the Butty which looked flat between two plain white slices of bread. Taste was okay but I could hardly taste the Ham. The Bacon Grilled cheese was okay too, better than the Butty but it still lacked a certain something. Both sandwiches could do with some color, maybe some veggies, and make the sandwiches look a little more like what you see online. But hey, I have beaten a dead horse and the meal was free! But the one star is about what I would give.

I ordered a bacon grilled cheese and asked for no additional butter or oil. It’s was quite expensive at over $ 10 for just mozzarella. When the sandwich came out it was SOAKED in grease. The bread was practically translucent. Staff are perfectly nice but not worth the money just to eat straight oil/​butter. I ate half but threw the rest out. Will not be returning.

Went on Friday at opening 8am. Teenage son had to be at school by 8:45, got the full Monty and grilled cheese sandwich. The bacon is sooo good
The full Monty has peameal and egg with hp sauce on brioche bun. Teenage son loved it. A bit messy for me. I just take a bite. Bonus having kids because my ticker doesn’t work as good as theirs.
Daughter has grilled bacon (regular cut). Not fatty at all. With Brie cheese and and onion marmalade jam. Very buttery on outside. But loved my one bite.
2 pops. Orange Fanta because milk and juice even at 8 am doesn’t cut rug when needing a burp for this messy goodness.
A once every 3 to 4 months thing, they will stick to yogurt and fruits any other day at home. But certainly a treat breakie.
Nice staff ! Attentive and efficient. 3 stools for eating and 3 old school, school chairs outside.
$ 22.75. Takes interac and cash.

Was walking by and saw a man sitting out front eating what looked like a delicious sandwich. Where’d you get that?
Right here!
Went in and said I wanted their signature sandwich.
Back Bacon egg, tomato… I don’t remember. All I remember is being blown away at how good it was.
I mean mouthwatering.
You pay a little more, but when the wave of bacon-​gasms passes through, you will see where your money went.
Can’t wait to go back.

I went there while i was visiting Toronto. The breakfast sandwich was excellent! The guys know their bacon.

I was in the neighbourhood and looking for a lunch bite, and I’m so so glad I chose Rashers!
A cozy little sandwich shop in lesliville, with a few stools at the bar, and fun bacon-​themed posters and memorabilia on the walls for you to look at while waiting.
The staff were so friendly and helpful in assisting my first time order, and I went with the winter warmer which had tender peameal, sautéed spinach onion and mushroom, with cheese and drizzled in sriracha. The food was piping hot, and the flavours blended perfectly in every bite.
Forgive me if I say I crave this peameal sandwich a teeny bit more than even Carousel’s in St Lawrence!!!

Definitely a fan.
I spotted this place by the ‘Bacon’ sign out front, so I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, they were out of burgers at 4 in the afternoon, so I decided to give the Full Monty a try. What an amazing sandwich! I ordered mine with cheese and brown sauce — it’s the only way to go, apparently.
Overall, the food was a 5, the experience was a 4 (it’s a little small in the shop, and they were out of burgers, which is a significant portion of their menu).
4.5 stars.

Just had the Brie & Bacon sandwich from Rashers and it just made my day. The sandwich was nice and warm as advertised and every bite was filled with bacon, caramelized onions, and ooey gooey brie. I can’t wait to try some of their other delicious bacon offerings.

Randomly found this on Unilocal and had to try it. Thank god I did. It was so delicious. Very nice man made it fresh to order. It was piping hot and awesome. Must go!!!

If you like bacon, this is the place for you.
Great quality ingredients. The bacon is sourced from a farm outside the city and all their sauces are housemade.
The sandwiches are HUGE, great value for what you pay.
My favorite is the Brie + Bacon but their grilled cheese is fantastic as well!
They are opening a second location in Toronto’s West end in the spring!

3.5. Bacon everything. Bacon overload.
From the moment you open the door, you know whats up. Its a tiny place and there is a haze of smokey bacon that just takes over. The first 5 seconds you get in, you think you’re breathing in bacon and getting fatter just standing there. After a minute you become nose blind to it.
Everything on the menu has some form of bacon in it, though there are some «vegetarian options». Got the winter warmer and it was pretty good, but very salty. The bun and toppings were great. Really wish i got the egg with it. Would’ve been a great (and gluttonous) breakfast sandwich.
The staff there are very nice, especially the cashier. As i waited for my sandwich, there was a flow of regulars and the cashier knows them by name /​order, which is a nice touch.

The food is worth five stars. Hands down. The home fries are thick and chunky, and super-​awesomely seaonsed, serving sizes are large, the bacon sandwiches!!! oMG dreamy.
The only down side for me was that the space is really only take out. Not that that’s a bad thing, service is quite quick because of this, but because the food is sooooo good you want to eat it right away and the option of being able to sit down in a tad more space would be nice.
Note– there is a couple bar stools facing queen street. But each time I went they were taken.
Highly recommend the food!

Stop # 2 Rasher… an sandwich shop just at corner of queen and carlaw just across from Leslieville pumps which was stop #3, I would think because of that this place probably see less business but given I was at both today I would say Rasher was better of the two but never were a bad sandwich
I had the hogtown sandwich, which was 3 piece of juicy peameal bacon with dijon mustard, there is an option to add cheese for a dollar which i did. between the peameal bacon and the cheese and mustard it was an unbelievable good sandwich.
Its very small through, little to no seating

Absolutely amazing!
My boyfriend and I were in the area and we searched Unilocal for a place to eat. We had no idea about Rashers, so we walked in and were pleasantly surprised.
It’s very small and cozy, with only a couple bar stools for sitting by the window. We got the steak/​bacon special to share and it was freakin’ amazing! I’ll definitely go back.
It can get really crowded inside if you thinking of eating in… best to take out.

This is what dreams are made of. If I could create the perfect fast food, this would be it. Their name perfectly describes their identity in one fancy word «Rashers» — thinly sliced bacon that is broiled.
Crispy, greasy, porky sandwiches that will satisfy even the harshest critic. Have it with apples, cheddar, tomatoes, mushrooms, brie or the kitchen sink. Have it with whatever you like and this stuff will taste heavenly.
To say this place is heaven does not do it justice. If you even remotely like the taste or smell of bacon then you owe it to yourself to stop by. This place is the holy grail and a bacon lover’s sanctuary.
Tip: Stay outside if you don’t want to end up smelling like delicious bacon after your meal. LOL

Small hole in the wall that serves up proper peameal bacon sandwiches… and really… all kinds of bacon sandwiches. The place is real small as they only really have a countertop and some school desks out front. The smell of bacon hits the air, and it fills the small room rather quickly.
They have a list of bacon sandwiches, but I went for the Hogtown Sandwich ($ 7.50), with their special Brown mustard sauce. It was 2 – 3 thicker slices of peameal bacon, of which I added an egg and cheese for $ 1 extra each. The bacon slices were cooked very well and were nicely tender. Really gotta work the teeth to tear the peameal apart. The runny egg and cheese made it that much better. The brown mustard sauce was OK, but I was growing tired of it and they really drown the sandwich in it, so I eventually removed the top bun and ate the remainder of my sandwich like a peameal bacon taco (new menu idea guys!) The potato wedges are good but super thick and can make the meal a bit too heavy.
The place is a shrine to bacon as you will find bacon facts, bacon posters, and even a portrait of Sir Kevin Bacon on the wall as well. They take their bacon seriously and you don’t come here and not devour as much of the porky goodness as possible.
Not a place for vegetarians or practicing Jews.

Pretty damn amazing sandwich! I was just visiting Toronto and staying in the area, and the first time I came down was just by following Unilocal for breakfast leads — and I was not disappointed. The Full Monty totally hit the spot — it’s a beautiful fluffy bun, bacon (of course), egg your way, mushrooms and tomato and this sour-​ish gravy. AMAZING.
The second time was the very next morning! I just had to have it again!
If I lived here I’d probably get really fat on these sandwiches and would want to try every single one!
It’s just a hole in the wall with almost no seating (there were two stools), and it gets warm in here in the summer — so you’ll want to take your Sammy to go. If only there was space for eating, I’d probably go for all 5 stars — but then again, you’d probably leave smelling of bacon (is that a bad thing though?).

I was in the Leslieville area and I had been meaning to try Rashers after reading some really great reviews on Unilocal and I’m always curious to see if a place really warrants great reviews.
I decided to order «The Winter Warmer» ($ 8.50 plus tax) which is a peameal bacon sandwich with sauteed onions, sundried tomatoes, mushrooms & spinach topped with 1 year aged cheddar & Sriracha sauce on a bun. I also ordered a side of potato wedges topped with smoked paprika ($ 3.50 plus tax). The sandwich was amazing, cooked to perfection, the peameal bacon was tender, juicy and it worked perfectly with all the toppings that came with the sandwich. In my opinion the sandwich was better than the peameal bacon sandwich at the more renowned Carousel Bakery at St. Lawrence Market. The fries were good but not great, the fries are fresh cut and seasoned with smoked paprika but I preferred the fries to be a little bit more crispier.
If your looking for an amazing bacon sandwich at a reasonable price (keep in mind that the pork they use is organic and locally sourced which is normally more expensive) and want to support a small local business then you definitely have to try Rashers.

Rasher’s Hogtown Sandwich ($ 7.50)
«Tender pieces of peameal bacon on a warmed bun.
Delicious with a fried egg & 1 year aged cheddar.
Described by Toronto Life as „Toronto’s iconic sandwich done right“»
was a life changing sandwich for me. I never really like peameal before until NOW!
Thick slice of peameal so moist, so tender and with so much flavour
The bun from Ace Bakery so soft but with such a good bite
Whole grain mustard as condiment gave the sandwich that tangy taste and texture
Egg Fried to perfection
Friendly staff
Now I even have craving for peameal?!
Need to go try other BACON sandiwch! NOW!
