50 Best American Restaurants in Toronto

“Ram the late night host is an actual legend!“

“Adorable local staple. Great quality food, and incredibly friendly service.

The food comes fairly quickly once you order, and the quality is good for price. Beautiful outdoor shabby-chic patio with a reasonable wait times in the summer.“

“I was attending Toronto Pride this past weekend and found this beautiful hidden gem and the staff were so friendly knowing that I was alone. fantastic food and fun drinks“

“Very cool place. All the staff was very good at their job, Taya was our waitress. She was awesome in my opinion. The food was good. The triple pepperoni pizza was really good. Make sure you get the hot honey sauce. The mozzarella sticks were really good and fresh. The rigatoni pasta was mid, The noodles were still a little hard maybe I just got a bad batch. The drinks were not strong but overall 5 stars still. I would definitely return!“

“Jo was my server, and my cousin and I we only planning to stay for 2 drink. She made our welcome so good that we stayed for 3. She was so polite and professional. She was constantly moving and taking care of ALL the other customers. She was just cool and a vibe.“

“A very good lunch/brunch place here in the market. A nice spread of comfort foods and you can make your own plates and combos. Highly recommend getting their salads with some sides and latkes for a whole meal experience. The old couple that run this place are very nice 🙂“

“The Thai red curry was just amazing, reminds me of my trip to Chiang Mai. The seafood pasta with mussels was also great. All made in house. Rare find in area. Great craft beer. A hidden gem from all the places in the area that serve basic chicken wings and deep fried offerings. The entrance is not desirable, but was told the entrance is being renovated.“

“Sham is a professional waiter who provides oustanding service and Patel is an excellent Manager.I give 5 stars for an overall rating.“

“Lovely place with warm service and superb delicious croissants . By all means recommend. Great place to recharge on Danforth“

“Amazing Food!“

“Amazing food, amazing service👌
I went here with my family, and the food made my whole family full after a long day. Very happy with service, i definitely recommend coming here with your loved one👍❤“

“Our group had a great time this past weekend at the Medieval festival! The show and tournament were entertaining and the atmosphere of the castle and arena were quite nice. The pricing of the souvenirs at the gift shops were reasonably priced, in my opinion. The food was not bad but could’ve been better. The chicken was juicy at first then become a bit dry as I was eating more of it. I also thought it lacked a bit of flavour. The corn and roasted potato were also okay. The dessert was just a frozen eclair. My favourite item was the tomato soup. But, at the end of the day the meal was still edible. I think despite all of this the show was still worth going to at least once!“

“Very good service and good!“

“Been here a couple of times, and my last visit was by far the best.“

“Second time I’ve gone! This time I went with two long time pals for a fun Friday night out. We loved the food and our server Nina. She was super friendly and made some good food suggestions.“

“Went a few Saturdays ago while a World Cup game was on. The design & atmosphere is very welcoming & nice- they had TV’s both inside & outside with a DJ playing music inside. The service was by-far the best part; the staff were friendly & helped recommend us a beer to try (which we all enjoyed). The server noticed my friends pay for two of my drinks, asked why, we said it was celebratory, & she offered free shots on the house. Truly made our night. Also noticed the same staff person frequently walking around to make sure everything was in order, they seemed like they genuinely cared about the place. Would recommend.“

“This diner is a real gem in parkdale. My family loved Harry's and continues to love its legacy and the beautiful staff that run The Originals. If you're fortunate enough to get a rush of nostalgia when walking through the door then you'll understand how special this place is to us. If not, then you please take my word for it and indulge in the atmosphere of warmth and kindness that fills this cherished diner.“

“A lovely place to relax and enjoy great food. Excellent service - fully recommend visiting here. We will definitely be back x“

“The staff here are very kind and helpful.
They have a positive attitude and it makes visiting here a joy.
The woman who made our veggie burgers put just the right amount of toppings.
The man ringing in the sale was good at explaining something I got confused about.
Keep these people around!“

“the burger was delicious... and the onion rings we're not oily... well done!“

“This Harvey’s was crazy busy before and after a concert at the venue right beside them , and throughout it all they all served with big smilies and got the ordered done fresh! Thank you Harvey’s team we all saw the effort you guys made today great place great people!

“I go 2 or 3 times a week. The staff are very friendly and professional. I love their chicken wraps and the hamburgers are awesome. Thanks alot!“

“Had 2 great meals here and loved both. The breakfast plate was especially good with the homemade bread. Good value with a drink included. The service was excellent with both staff being friendly and helpful. Thoroughly recommend“

“Came by in June in the late evening. It was fairly busy but they were able to accommodate me on the patio. I initially wanted the brisket, but it was sold out. I chose the pulled pork as a replacement. It was extremely tender and flavourful, so it was still worth getting. I'll definitely come back again to try the brisket.“

“Classic diner vibe, classic diner menu. Value can't be beat - this 2 pancake, 3 egg, 2 sausage, 2 bacon (plus homefries) breakfast was only $15 and absolutely massive. Service was fast, efficient and friendly - highly recommend for all your breakfast needs.“

“Food was delic! Service impeccable. Staff (esp. Esther and Michael) we’re both nothing short of perfect! Patio was warm and inviting. (PS watermelon cocktail 🍸- divine!)“

“If you like to be served by a lovely woman ask for lisa! Happy and very nice person. Had the duckwrap with Ceasar salade it was served quick an a amazing tast!! If you have the chance after that take the cheesecake its really awesome 😄“

“Gotta love swiss chalet ! Im basic and always get the original quarter chicken dinner. I haven't dined in for a while but Shireen really went over the top to make sure we had everything. Free refills are amazing! Highly recommend checking out this location“

“Absolutely incredible experience at this Harvey’s location! The burger was seriously one of the best burgers I’ve ever had — fresh, delicious, and made perfectly. Huge shoutout to Leila and Idris for the amazing service as well. They were super friendly and made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back!“

“we got a Bombay badboy, truffle melt, and Cajun tots. totally worth the wait, especially because there was a bit of a line!! the portion was surprisingly large, the butter chicken was a triple decker and the truffle melt is literally a sandwich and a half. both AMAZING, exactly what I was craving and the tots were on point, hella seasoned and crispy with a soft centre. will be back to try the others and the Mac and cheese… already regret not ordering it this time“

“We love Swiss chalet food and today we tried at this location and Smit was our server he made our experience amazing! Wonderful service from him he was so friendly and made us feel very welcome! I honestly did not expect much since my experiences other locations were not the best but Smit was so good to us. Will definitely always go to this location whenever I’m craving Swiss chalet!! Thank you Smit hope to see you soon😊😋“

“Consistency is the key to this Harvey’s. Always puts out quality food, fresh and hot. The thing I love about this location as well is that the staff wash their hands all the time. They actually have correct food handling which is not common in the fast food world. Good job guys, keep it up.“

“I recommend The Carbon Bar, excellent food, perfect service, as well as the hostess Renata who served us very well.“

“Service was amazing And made our night once we found out our concert was rescheduled“

“Great steak and eggs. Excellent service. Worth the wait“

“Had an amazing night at Smoque N Bones in Toronto! The food was outstanding - smoky, rich, and clearly made with a lot of care. Cocktails were a highlight too, especially the Cowboy Smash, which was perfectly balanced and full of flavor. Big shoutout to our server Paolo, who was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. Will definitely be back!“

“I swear to god, Harvey's is a Canadian fast-food staple, and it must be protected at all costs! This includes their sister restaurant, Swiss Chalet.

I went once after the gym and I was shocked at how delicious the food was. I don't mean that in a shady way. It wasn't that it was a long time since I last had Harvey's but that the food tasted fresh and made in house.“

“Awesome local dive with reasonably priced wings and beer. Great venue for to watch sports and they've got a really detailed menu with burgers, dumplings, fries, and so many sauces for your wings! To top it off, Shirlleya's an awesome host and bartender.“

“Amazing place, delicious food and great service.“

“Hosted a corporate event at The Joneses and it was great. The location is perfect - close to Union so guests can get there easy. Venue looks sharp and they have a bunch of different food and beverage packages to choose from. Lots of options which is what you want.

Food was solid and booze was good too.

The real standout was the events team and staff. Helped make the event run smooth. The outdoor patio is a good choice. Shoutout to Raul and Rose - they handled everything and kept the night running smooth. Both were super responsive and made sure everything went right.

Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a corporate venue in the area. Would go back again.“

“We just had both our wedding and rehearsal dinner in July of 2026 and it turned out better than i could have hoped for! We used their courtyard for the ceremony ( and amazing family photos), the patio for cocktail hour and inside for the reception.

The food was amazing, with all of our family and friends continuing to rave about it, now a week later.

Sam and his team were amazing to work with, throughout the entire planning process. Great communication, fast email responses and willingness to help with any request you have, to help bring your vision to life. We cant recommend them enough!“

“One of those real, authentic, non trendy, super hospitable restaurants. An old Toronto gem in a trendy neighbourhood like Liberty Village. I am a sucker for a soup and a sandwich so this was perfect. You choose your own sandwich and add toppings yourself, subway style. They also have coffee and alcoholic beverages and free wifi and indoor and outdoor seating. It gets hot in there in the summer.

Tomato soup was fire!“

“This place is a hidden gem... for years I've been happy to bring friends and families, colleagues and dates to stratus, not only is the view immaculate but the quality of food, and service is amazing. I'm proud to know and recommend this fine establishment because I can count a world class experience, each visit!“

“Came here on a Saturday night for a birthday party and it was pretty fun.

We got here early at 7pm and by the time we left at around 10pm this place was packed! Great place for larger groups to gather. This place has been opened for over a decade and I finally got to check it out. They did serve a lot of finger food which wasn't too bad.

Wouldn't mind coming back.“

“Great food, excelent service“

“Haven’t been to Red Lobster in a while, but took the kids there after the Jays game. Honestly, the staff were amazing. They were really good with the kids and had so much patience, probably more patience than me loll
I actually really like seeing the manager walking around and helping out. He even showed the kids the lobster, which they thought was cool.
Service was great, the food was good, and overall we had a really nice experience. Glad we stopped by“

“My friend, pup and I had a delicious lunch on the patio on a gorgeous fall day. Everything was great - a big bowl of ice water for my dog, shady tables, and amazing food and service. Sandra was wonderful. We will be back soon.“

“Had such a fantastic time grabbing breakfast here on Bay Street. The food was absolutely delicious and presented beautifully. I was especially impressed by the seasoned potatoes served alongside every dish; they were perfectly cooked with just the right amount of fresh herbs.

The coffee was rich and hit the spot. Everything arrived quickly, and the atmosphere was really welcoming. I will definitely be back to try more from the menu soon.“

“Always a great stop. Icy cold beers. Great service. Always a warm greeting when walking through the door.
Food top notch. Today was a chicken club wrap and a Ruben.
Never had such crisp lettuce in a wrap. Ruben was made to perfection.

Fantastic patio out back. Massive. Tvs for watching sports n the like.

Thanks for a fill up after a great day of walking the Roncy area.“
