Grillies

What is Grillies? Anchoring the East Danforth strip just west of Main Street at 2632 Danforth Avenue, Grillies is an unpretentious counter-service staple known for generous portions of Tex-Mex fare and griddled burgers. The brightly lit storefront keeps things strictly practical with clean tile floors, casual low-top seating, and an expansive ingredient bar where orders are built to order.

Grillies Menu & What to Order Customization leads the menu, letting diners pack overstuffed burritos, tacos, and rice bowls with options like grilled killer chicken, slow-cooked pulled pork, shredded beef, or spiced paneer for vegetarians. Flat-top classics like the Double Cheese Burger and the multi-meat Monster Burger arrive hot off the grill with nicely caramelized edges. Round out the meal with crisp cheese fries, pair it with a fresh house lemonade or fruit smoothie, and finish with a slice of rich Saffron Tres Leches cake.

Know Before You Go Grillies operates entirely on a walk-in, takeout, and delivery model, so reservations are neither needed nor accepted. The kitchen runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, making it one of the east end's most dependable late-night dining destinations. Metered street parking lines Danforth Avenue, while Main Street subway and Danforth GO stations are both just a short walk away.
