Blackhorn Steakhouse

Menu was comfort based, not for low calorie foodies. Attentive service. Atmosphere is a bit dated but maybe that's the old charm. Clearly they know about cooking different steaks. Each of our party ordered different cuts and man they nailed all of them. Worth a nice night out.

We took a chance on Valentines Day to try out a new place, and it was absolutely worth it. Impeccable service & food was made to perfection. An absolute hidden gem. We'll definitely be coming back to this restaurant to try other items on the menu.

Been going to lots of old school restaurants and steakhouses lately.

Blackhorn doesn't disappoint. With a full on early 70's steak house interior you could imagine what it was like in it's heyday, with lots of big hair, polyester shirts, and gold chains. It's perfect as is.
Menu wise it has everything you need, with nothing fancy, like tableside Caesar salad, crepe suzette or Steak Diane. But it's fine without it.

The food here really shines and is far better than my recent experiences over the last month at Casa Loma, the Keg, and Barbarian Steakhouse.

Lots of parking, and unlike parking downtown or at the castle, it's free. I'm coming back for sure.

Update: went back on a Sunday- still good. Reservations next week, looking forward, long live the horn! ,🎷

Went back with a bunch of family this time, it was still good, and they thought it was good as well.

Steamed mussels were small but tasty. The green peppercorn steak was cooked to perfection. I had too many buns that night, otherwise I would have more words praising the grilled potato. Overall this is a nice steakhouse near my neighbourhood. Glad we found this place.

Dry steak they don’t know how to cook, and gaslighted by waitress

- I’m so confused about all these positive reviews they really got my hopes up
- my ny strip had no sear what so ever and when I complained the server didn’t even know what a sear was
- I ordered medium rare and it was medium DRY. They tried to cover it up with sauce LOL
- The server then continued to gaslight me and say “I’ve had medium rare and this looks medium rare” . She took it to the back and brought it back and said she said the chef said it medium rare.
- Was offered no discount at all for the rubbish food
- Wasn’t offered dessert but we wanted to get out of there anyways
- Server was mad we only tipped 10% even tho she gave attitude 💀
- no music in the restaurant
- Conclusion: stick to the keg at least their garlic bread is free and they give you cake for celebrations 🥺 and they KNOW how to cook a juicy steak

I'm a West end dude. Very rare I travel east. But Blackhorn has a reason for being around since '69 and I got to taste why. Exceptional service, outstanding food, great atmosphere. We really need to support these indie businesses. I can certainly leave the 905 to come here again!

An undiscovered secret of Scarborough is this tucked away restaurant at Warden and Ellesmere! I was invited by a friend once and that's how I got introduced to this restaurant. Family run, very hospital and friendly environment.
Food review: for appetizer, we had the most DELICIOUS bread sticks, coated with cheese and garlic. It was warm, crispy just the right touch and to die for! This was followed by the main course, which consisted of the blackened trout was absolutely delicious and filling! The fish was cooked just to the right tenderness. The steak with blue cheese sauce was absolutely superb! We munched it down in no time! The dessert was Italian theme, tartufo, raspberry in the center and chocolate exterior. Very rich and decadent. Overall, we had a fantastic meal here and more people need to try their food out!
Another visit: main course was the rack of lamb - wow delicious (I compare it to lamb I've eaten in New Zealand!), Followed by tiramisu cheesecake dessert (tastes more like cheesecake than tiramisu but nice to have a different texture)
Improvement: the decor was a bit dated; Salad was non-descript.

We had my sons 16th birthday dinner here last weekend - party of 20 guests . The service was a little slow at first to be honest - but when the food started to come out - IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT!
Every single item we ordered was devoured and we received only compliments on the portion sizes and taste. I would highly recommend this restaurant- total hidden gem. We will be back for sure ! Thank you!
