Until the whole covid thing, I'd stop by at least once a week. Between spicy chicken fingers, a decent burger, or their chicken parm, I don't recall ever leaving disappointed. The price was a bit more then I'd like, but it was the only complaint that I had.

Lined up for the patio which only took about 15 minutes or so as we were advised by phone. This is the best patio in the beach. The food has never ever disappointed and the service is always great. I had the tilapia with the lobster and shrimp on a rice pilaf with peppers, carrots etc and a lovely sauce. Sooooo good. My husband had the salmon with avocado which he quiet liked as well. A nice bottle of Sauvignon Blanc topped up the meal. So glad they're up and running again.

We had a great table on their lovely patio, and our server was very good.
The Cobb salad was mediocre, with very little cheese, and some bacon crumbles and mostly lettuce.
The drinks were also bland.
Hopefully they were just having an off day in the kitchen

The temperature was unseasonably warm for early March, so, where else would we end up but the patio at Outrigger -one of the best patios in the city. Food is always dependable and delicious I've never been disappointed here. Our waiter, Stephen, was so personable and funny. Such a joy. I had the smoked salmon sandwich which came with a choice of green salad or Caesar or fries. My husband had the seafood salad which he devoured with enthusiasm. The there's a small selection of wines, as about 8 or 9 was each of red and white and a good selection of beers. Truly, on a warm day, check out the patio, enjoy the people watching and have a great meal with great service.

It had been a while since we had visited.
We were thrilled to get a seat on the great patio beside a water fountain. Our server, Richard, was very attentive and made us feel like we were at home. The menu was extensive so nobody had any trouble finding a favorite dish to order. We were all happy with our selections and had a wonderful meal.

I hate writing bad reviews, however, there are times when a restaurant screams out for one. This is the case here.
To put it mildly, the food was boring, the prices were excessive for what was offered and the service was crap. When a young server comes to your table and, without any sign of interest, asks "How was everything?" and walks away before the answer is offered, you know there is a staff training problem.
And then there is the matter of the range of tipping offered on the electronic payment device. It seems that at this place, and maybe throughout Toronto, the choices are 18%, 20%, 25% and 'other', in that order. One is inhibited to press other at the risk of appearing like a social outcast.
All in all, the place has a food service and management problem. The kitchen needs to get it right and management needs to find and train interested servers who actually deserve tips. I would never go there again.

In a nutshell: Servers who are disinterested and miserable. One couldn't even describe the beer a customer was ordering.
And then there was the $35 nachos!!!!! Yep! $35. OK, ordered with chicken and guac but the chicken was minimal the guac was an egg cup size portion. And this was no stack of nachos, it was an average plate. COME ON! $35.
Less of a nutshell: If you are a long time resident of the Beach you can probably remember when this location was THE busy, vibrant hub of the area. No more and not for a long time but yesterday was the end of my decades long willingness to support this location. I'm joining everyone else who has abandoned it. The place is nearly always empty which takes some doing given it's prime location and patio. Current management/ownership you need to be asking yourself some serious questions. Either that or let it go and let someone else take it on. I actually suspect that is on the cards as, in my opinion, the general mood at this establishment is currently one of desperation.

Found this hidden gem while searching for a lunch place on Queen East in the Beaches area. It is quite spacious and has cozy booths with a full bar inside and a big corner patio . Service is great with friendly staff and I am sure it is a go to spot in the neighborhood. We ordered an Outrigger Burger and Jerk Chicken Quesadilla, both were delicious with fresh ingredients and prepared well. Can’t wait for warmer weather to be able to enjoy the patio !

We have been eating at this restaurant for over 30 years through numerous owners.
We actually ordered delivery. Phone pinged that food had been delivered. I had requested that we have contact delivery so the food does not sit on the porch and get cold. Ritual was the delivery on my order. Then came a text with image saying that the driver did not have the correct address and left if on a neighbours retaining wall on the street. I know the house but did not want to go down and get the food. Very odd. I called Outrigger to tell them what had happened and requested that they refill my order and have it properly delivered but not at my expense. She said it was not her problem and that I had to call Ritual and deal with the issue. There was no manager or owner present to talk to. She went on and on about how it was not their problem. Well I do not agree. I contracted a food order with Outrigger not Ritual. That is who I paid for the food. We will not eat or order from this restaurant again. Fortunately I have a responsible neighbour that saw the address on the bag in front of their house and brought it to me.

Outrigger Restaurant is pretty great. The patio is awesome for hanging out, especially when the weather’s good. The drinks from the bar are really nice – they have a good variety, and everything I tried was on point.
The food is solid too. The Outrigger Burger is seriously tasty, and the wings are crispy and flavorful. Both are definitely worth trying.
What I liked most was the service. The staff is super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, it’s a chill spot with good food, good drinks, and a cool vibe.

Horrendous....very slow service....table beside us was left untouched with previous customer's food for over 30.minites.
Do not order fish tacos....not sure what it was that was over cooked and fried.

Great spot for afternoon music, lunch & a refreshing drink.
Friendly waitresses, relatively quick service too.
Only downside was the stairs to the washroom.

I supported this place all through the pandemic EVERY WEEK! and even though they sent me not good food. I gave them another 2 chances. However on the 3rd time when I asked for bread and was told by the owner that I would be Charged - for BREAD that is Always included in store. Was the last straw!! The owner was there, he was rude and really - if someone who has supported your restaurant for a YEAR you would refuse bread then I am done! Never in my life - and I worked in service, have I been treated like this man did! Never ever support someone like this!!

Had a hard time choosing between several menu items but decided on Atlantic Eggs Benedict and a Blueberry Mash Mojito. It was a feast for the eyes and my tastebuds. I liked the inclusion of the sides (salad, fruit Kebob) as well as the option for black beans & corn or potatoes with the breakfast. A beautiful spot for a rest & meal/bevvie along Queen in the Beaches.
