What people say, in short
Burdock is recommended across its Toronto locations, including the Bloor brewpub featured here. Commenters specifically recommend Bloor for a sit-down meal, beer and wine, while others discuss Kensington separately. One patron praises the range of beer styles and another singles out Deluxe lager. Dissenters find the beer unappealing or poor value, and a visitor objects to the serving sizes. Food praise is not interchangeable between the two locations.
