I will edit the review with a photo, but know that the portions are generous. The staff are friendly and tend to bend over backwards to provide a great experience. By that I mean you may have two people serving you at the same time, but make no mistake, they communicate with each other. It's actually very impressive, which I assume was developed with a busy location.

This place takes me back in time! The atmosphere is cool and retro. The combos are good choice for brunch. The staff are great. The place could benefit from improvement in hygiene though!

Had a great breakfast here the other day, the food is good and what you would expect from a classic old school diner. The portions are great and the prices were good, especially for downtown toronto! Overall would definitely go back again, perfect for the morning after a night out or a chill Sunday morning

Sevice was bad. The server just throw the menu in my table august 22 6 pm. The old lady . Really bad. I stop coming anymore here not unless the old lady is the server is gone. She is giving me attitude from the beginning till i pay the bill I didn’t enjoy my order. Racism is real in this location. If you’re asian they treat you bad.

This restaurant has been a go-to favorite of mine for decades! It is a diner! The food and the prices are that of a diner! The service? A diner and amazing! The staff are outstanding and the food or outstanding. If you have to wait 10 or 15 minutes, it's worth it! This is one of my all two favorite go-tos

You walk into a place like this not for the food, but for the promise of something vaguely comforting. Vinyl booths that stick to your thighs. Filter coffee that tastes like water in which coffee beans have been soaking in for a few years. A laminated menu that hasn’t changed since the invention of credit cards.

The eggs were eggs. The toast was toast. The potatoes just gave up on being Breakfast. A soft, starchy embarrassment of a vegetable. Everything else was fine in that soul-numbing, beige kind of way. Service was kind, in that “I’m at the end of my shift and I’ve seen some shit”.

This is not a place you come to eat—it’s a place you come to exist. For a moment. Hungover, heartbroken, or hiding from your boss. And sometimes, that’s enough but sometimes you want something to taste better than the dull monotonous drip that life becomes.

When your eggs get cold by the time they get to you, you know you’re not alright. When the French toast in combo one is dry and looks like a leather bag that’s been drying in the Sahara for a few summers now, you know you’re not alright. When you get maple syrup that’s sweet like fake compliments, you know you’re not alright. You know that when you order orange juice and you don’t get it but you still pay for it - you know you’re not alright.

All I wish is they cook the home fries better.

Irene does a great job. This is my favorite place for breakfast when I visit Toronto. The food and service is always great and the prices are very reasonable. 👍 👍 👍

It's my first time there in many years.
Excellent, well, portioned food, but they don't cut the toast. Is this something new?
When I ordered, i asked for freshly cooked bacon and a glass of iced water, but I received neither.
Although the food was top notch.

Appalling service and mediocre food - dirty and beat up space - not worth a visit.

Rude behavior! Old lady on front counter has a serious issue with customers. Didn’t treat well! Very rude behavior. Bad face expressions. Totally ruined my weekend.
