The Football Factory - Toronto, Ontario

What a welcoming place. We were a couple of Americans in Toronto looking for a place to watch Michigan Football. Yes, we know the name Football Factory isn’t referencing American Football, but we thought we’d stop in and see if they would accommodate. Chrissy was very welcoming and helped us ... find our game as well as enjoy a few drinks and food. If you’re looking for a friendly and welcoming place to watch some “Football”, or other sports we recommend Chrissy and her team! Go Blue! Read more

I didn't enjoy my experience here. I came to watch the champions league match between Spurs and man City with two friends. We we're standing at the doorway waiting to be helped because proper restaurant etiquette usually dictates so. The server walked by us multiple times without even greeting or ... acknowledging us. The only thing she said to us was that we were standing in her way. Stood there for at least 3 minutes without so much as a little bit of eye contact until I had to awkwardly approach the lady behind the bar and ask her what the deal is. Do we seat ourselves or wait to be seated? Why didn't anyone inform us of what we should do? Why didn't anyone greet or welcome us? Why did they just leave us to stand there looking like a bunch of fools? We weren't rude or disrespectful, unless standing and waiting to be helped in a bar/restaurant is against proper etiquette that is... Trash atmosphere and lacking in in customer service. The hype about this place is so unwarranted. I can go watch footie at any of the other multitude of bars in this city which is what we ended up doing instead. When we realized this is how the business treats people we didn't need to linger any longer. We left without looking back. 10/10 not returning here nor will I recommend it to anyone... Been to many places throughout the city and this is the only place I've rated less than three stars. This place gets a resounding 1 star from me. Disappointed. I came here with high hopes and an open mind. Boy was I wrong. Read more

Amazing spot to watch any soccer or a Toronto FC away game! Friendly staff, plenty of TVs!

Perfect for watching soccer in. It's a little cramped but that kind of adds to the atmosphere. Food is decent. Beer selection isn't always that good TBH. The staff are great - Megan in particular. They're run off their feet but always manage to serve you in good time.

My husband wanted to watch the football game, and I was hungry. So we ended up at the FF. I ordered the nachos, which were amazing. And my hubby the poutine, which he stated "it's not the best, the gravy is funky". The waitress was all by herself, which ... affected service, meaning it was poor. We tipped her well anyway, it's not her fault she was understaffed. We live near by this place and have become familiar with who the owner is, to my surprise he was in there the whole time, just watching tv. You would have thought he would help out with service for the sake of his business. Goes to show where his priorities are. The food is ok, but the service is crap. Go at your own risk. Read more
