“stopped by Sunset Grill in Waterloo last weekend, and wow—what a great find! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with friendly staff who made the experience even better.

The food? Absolutely delicious. They have a great variety of options, so whether you're in the mood for something hearty or a lighter, healthier bite, there’s something for everyone. I went with the pancakes and home fries, and they were cooked perfectly—golden, fluffy, and exactly what I needed to start my day.

What really stood out was the consistency—everything tasted fresh, and the service was fast without feeling rushed. It’s the kind of place where families, friends, and even solo diners can feel right at home.“

“We loved our first visit here! Macy was our server. She was so sweet, even when we were scatter-brained trying to figure out what to drink right from the start 🫣 The atmosphere is super chill. The staff visibly enjoy their jobs, the booths are comfy, just generally all around good vibes. We got the Traditional Chicken & Waffles and Veggie Hash (delicious), and there was so much stuff on the menu we want to try next time.“

“Went their today our waitress was very very Very Rude we were in shock how rude she was paid for our coffee and left very disgusted“

“Very typical and comfortable diner atmosphere. Older crowd when I was there at lunch. Service was excellent and friendly. My food was very good quality. I had the chicken tender platter. Fries and coleslaw. Amazing. Dipping sauces, amazing. The tenders are home made from real breast meat. The coating on the tenders was more of a batter than a breading. The texture was light and airy like a cheesy or corn puff. It was interesting. But not to my preference. Portion was HUGE.“

“What a Walper Experience at The Walper Hotel! Superb, world-class hotel located in the heart of Kitchener. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This place is VERY friendly, GREAT food, reasonably priced, and has always been a good venue either for a casual meal with family or friends, or as a meeting spot for colleagues and I to do working strategic planning meals together! LOVE THIS PLACE! HIGHLY recommend it 👌 👍 'The Long Bearded Guy' & JEWIL International“

“The hashbrowns are amazing. Chicken parm crepes are fantastic. The waffles, great. Usually when you get breakfast saussages they're not that great but not here. They are so good. Clearly quality of ingredients matter. There's nothing you won't like.“

“It looked great and did not disappoint. Sonia is the nicest waitress you could ever meet.“

“I had breakfast today here and it was a really nice experience. The food was fresh and delicious, and the overall atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. Even though the place was quite busy, the service was still excellent and well organized.

The main thing is the owner was personally involved and she was very polite, friendly, and made sure everyone was taken care of. She served us by herself and was very attentive, which made the experience feel special. You can tell she truly cares about her customers and the way the place is run. The management is very good, and the staff works hard even during rush hours.

Overall, it was a great breakfast experience with amazing service. I would definitely recommend this place and will be coming back again.“
