You might find the name of this Junction Triangle restaurant familiar.
Boo Radley’s is a local eatery that has been in the area since before it was known as the “Junction Triangle.”
We at the Kevin Yu Team recently had a chat with Michael, one of the owners of Boo Radley’s. The owners have been operating their eatery in this beloved neighborhood restaurant since 2007. When they first moved into the neighbourhood, the area was much different and had yet to be gentrified.
Back then, it was the last undiscovered, unexploited area in the West end that was simply a little triangle that people passed through on their way through the city. It was only within the last decade that the Junction Triangle became hot.
Michael and the team behind Boo Radley’s are glad to have been part of its transformation. Today, it’s a family-oriented restaurant and one of the few in the area that local families with children would frequent after school or for their weekend dinners.

According to Michael, they’ve cultivated their family-friendly atmosphere over the years. There were very few family-friendly places that are close by that welcome kids. In a lot of places, kids aren’t very welcome, but Boo Radley’s made them feel very welcome. And parents greatly appreciate that.
Kids who were served back in the early days still visit to this day, and are now teenagers who are visiting by themselves without their parents. The tradition continues.
In terms of menu items, there’s really no way you can go wrong with your options. They’ve got a great 6oz flat-iron steak, sizzling in-house burgers, tasty wings, and home-cut fries. And while primarily a meat-oriented restaurant, they do have some vegan dishes.

During this time of COVID when Toronto is in the Grey zone, local customers have been great at supporting the restaurant. Right now, Boo Radley’s is working with 16 seats, so it’s suggested that patrons call ahead to make reservations in order to make sure there’s a spot for them and to allow the restaurant to appropriately accommodate the guests while ensuring proper social distancing.
There’s a heated outdoor patio that’s a comfortable spot to dine, no matter the temperature. There’s also a take-out menu that customers can order from.
