“If you're expecting something fancy, this ain't for you. If you want exactly what is expected. Then you gold. Fair and affordable ? hells to the mother fükin yus. Especially after a "TErheranna" night of debacles(how Canadian can I make this sound???) Friendly and sweet lady serving! Such a jem ✨️“

“Retro aesthetic diner with cute little detail’s throughout. Pancakes fluffy and delicious. you might be inclined to order extra maple syrup and ask for more butter as i wanted more for the amount of pancake served (very healthy serving). Got a side of sausage, which was very nice. The breakfast wrap was excellent.“

“Pretty authentic American diner experience. Run by a family and some staff. Was fairly busy on a Sunday noon. Service was a bit slow as a result.However that said, food was delicious and very well made. The prices are very reasonable of these large portion sizes.“

“Chew Chews has been closed for a few weeks now, at least, and there’s no indication when they’ll open again. There’s a sign on the door saying it’s due to an emergency. Hope they’re okay and know that the neighbourhood supports them and hopes they’re okay. We’ll be here when you get back“

“My gf invited me out to this cute east end Diner. Service was quick and sweet! Coffee was hot, food was great and it really hit the spot. Also I really loved the coleslaw, a nice touch. I love the classic Diner atmosphere. Happy there are gems like this still around. Price is perfect !“

“The Broadview Diner is a great neighborhood spot for breakfast and brunch, and at very reasonable prices I might add. The staff are great, have been very attentive the few times that I've been to this place. Definitely recommend them!“

“Fantastic brunch today, has an amazing neighbourhood feel; for the very friendly staff who all make you feel like a friend. The classic brunch menu with just enough flair to keep it interest but not feel like they are being gimmicky. Fair prices for the area and good drip coffee. ☕️“

“The service here is amazing - everyone is attentive and smile when you come in. The food came so fast and was delicious. Eggs were fluffy and portions very fair. Definitely a local joint that’s very comfy with good pricing for what you get. Coffee delicious as well. Highly recommend if you’re in the area.“

“Toronto restaurants are only permitted to serve takeaway or delivery meals these days under the city’s temporary list of essential services. Grapefruit Moon is a local staple and despite these difficult times, they’re still offering a takeout menu. I ordered a burger for dinner by text (416-627-5596), and it was delicious! The order, pick-up and payment process was really simple and efficient and I recommend that you take home a meal from here sometime soon.“

“Came here on a Sunday afternoon to pick up some Portuguese tarts. Got 6 for $10.50 including taxes. Compared to other places in the market they weren't bad, I felt it was a bit too custardy and they weren't too sweet.Would be interested in coming back to try their food, but not their tarts again.“

“If you’re craving ‘traditional’ breakfast, I would recommend trying the Big Breakfast plate. I substituted the home fries for the garden salad, but the sausage and bacon were super delicious, crispy yet not greasy at all. Pancakes were also good texture, not too thick. I got over easy eggs, but I found it to be too runny for my preference. Overall was happy with my choice. I also recommend their orange juice!“

“This restaurant is the best 24 in toronto sine 1955, portioned big and very delicious and good price. Also because it's always busy everything is fresh , washrooms are tidy and clean, staffs are so kind and friendly. It's mostly recommended.“

“Sham is the best server in all the Dennys I've been to , his professionalismis head above the rest, he served like he's in a five star restaurant , he followed protocols as it dictates . Love his service even when we were done and sitting talking , he still come around to serve water and ask if there's anythingelse he can help with,suggestive sales the key thing we ended buying cheese cake to go . He should be training staffs How to give good service“

“I always look forward to coming here, the vegetarian options are always amazing and it's relatively affordable compared to most diners. My favourites are the veggie lasagna and the grilled veggies & pesto sandwich.Vegetarian options: A lot of veggie options that you don't typically find at other diners, and they're really yummy too!!“

“Sam's Indian Kitchen restaurant, which is part of the Newcastle Inn in Drumheller, was a jaw-droppingly beautiful surprise in a town which features every mediocre fast food chain you can think of. My wife and I love Indian food, and the dinner we had here has to rank among the best Indian we have ever eaten on three continents. I am not kidding, it's that good! Sam's offers a mainly vegetarian menu (but with a few chicken, beef, goat and shrimp items). We had the yellow dahl soup and palak paneer mains with butter & garlic naans, with vegie samosas and papadums to start. The dahl was rich with just enough spicyness. The palak paneer was truly awesome - subtly aromatic, slightly minty balancing the delicate cardomon scent & flavour, with big chunks of paneer. Very generous portions. The mango lassi was perfect. And just $60 total for the two of us. The setting is plain with bare walls & 6 wooden tables, but so what. It Is Fabulous. Oh, & the Inn itself looks great - quiet, well appointed rooms, & very reasonably priced. We wished we had stayed there!“

“Everything we Tried at The Lakeview DinerLocated at the corner of Dundas Street and Ossington, the iconic Lakeview Diner is a timeless backdrop for numerous Hollywood productions.
