My friend and I crossed the border from Detroit to visit Windsor, our first top being here at A Dog's Breakfast for, well, breakfast. As dog lovers, the name was what drew us in. There was quite a line when we got there, and it was worth the wait! Here's what we got: Eggs Benny with Southern fried chicken, and eggs poached soft. Dog's Pancakes. We chose the lavender flavor. Poutine All the food was FANTASTIC! Hearty and delicious! Just what we needed to get started with our morning. Doesn't hurt that we were served by a super cute and pretty goth waitress who wore black lipstick.
Beautiful ambiance in the midst of a farmers market. The people are all uber friendly and all smiles. They have a washroom (bathroom)! All American breakfast / brunch menu. The wait is 30 minutes on a beautiful Saturday when the Farmer's Market is live and kicking.
Food good, I ordered the smoked salmon poached egg. The salmon is the thin slices not crumbs of cooked salmon Atmosphere is very inviting. The only issue I have with this place is that it has no restroom.
Food here was great. The Crown Royal coffee was . The service was amazing- the host and the waiter.
I have to say, this place was amazing. Food was great. Service was on the spot ambience was great, I feel this was a wonderful place to go to in Windsor first time I recommend it to anybody who's in Windsor looking for a great place for breakfast or brunch I can say they had French toast lasagna that's a first for me. I enjoyed my eggs Benedict with fried chicken on it . So I'll be back here sometime in the future
Food wasn't bad but wasn't the best either. We were excited for their cute outdoor seating but they have a huuuge bee problem here which was a big bummer. It was almost impossible to enjoy our meal without constantly getting attacked by bees. We ended up requesting to move inside, which they were very understanding about. Service was excellent and they were all super friendly.
This has all of the great things Squirrel Cage had but with much more seating including outdoor seating. The menu has a handful of genuinely different options. It's not just 3 or 4 variations of what is essentially a single dish. Our table got several and everything was exceptional. My favorite was the Eggs Benny and I got it with the Southern fried chicken because it's such an unusual combination. It was exceptional! The restaurant is painted all white and there are large windows along the front so the entire space is naturally bright. There's free Wifi. Best of all, the service provided by the owner is exceptional as it was over at Squirrel Cage.
I do not have a whole lot to say about A Dog's Breakfast, simply because (for us) it's a standard breakfast bistro with above average food. If you don't like surprises then this is your spot. I'm obsessed with breakfast at all hours of the day, and this place is convenient to walk to if you're staying downtown. I had the egg/bacon sandwich with home fries (yummy stuff) and my wife had an American-style (or maybe Canadian-style?) breakfast with eggs, toast, and sausage links. Everything was buttery and pleasant. Just how we like it. Waiter was cool. End review.
While on vaca, we Yelped like we always do for a good breakfast spot. This place was close to the hotel and had great reviews. The food pics were plenty which is a good sign. It's a small, trendy place with a small outside area as well. The menu was not large but had enough choices. I went with the French toast lasagna! Great choice! Cinnamon sugar and layers of bread and custard. I got the Home fries which you can sub with fresh fruit which was pineapple that day. They were crispy and well done. I also got the pork belly. That was okay as it was just fried with no seasoning. I prefer mine smoked than fried. Husband got a mash up in a bowl with eggs, hollandaise, potatoes and bacon. He's not a hollandaise fan but he ate the entire thing! That means it had to be flavorful. He also stole some of my lasagna. There were lunch items as well with beer choices but they were few.
I am from Austin, Texas and a visiting Fulbright researcher in Windsor this year. I've been checking out many amazing food places in the area and across Ontario and reviewing their awesomeness. I decided to visit this place with my husband for Saturday brunch. My food was delicious. I had the French toast lasagna. Our waitress was also fabulous and very patient in helping us with a very uncomfortable situation that transpired. My husband ordered the chicken and waffles. Unfortunately, his chicken was raw (it was red inside and still pretty cold). I stood up to kindly tell the waitress, but as I reached the counter, the cook was close by the register, and quickly turned to me, and so I told him instead. I showed him the cold raw chicken on my husband's fork. He quickly took the chicken piece and immediately argued that the chicken's raw-looking color was normal. The cook, instead of apologizing, and listening to what I was explaining, became visibly angry and quickly got defensive. I tried to take the chicken piece back, so I could show my waitress, but he refused to let me show my waitress. Instead, again of apologizing, he became angry and commented that "if I wanted a dry chicken instead." I was taken aback, because that should have never been his response. A cook should never actively argue with a costumer. But this cook continued clearly being on the defensive, continued arguing with me, and continued arguing with by mansplaining that "the chicken was a thigh, and that therefore it was normal that the meat was pink." "Thighs" he kept adding "always look raw like that, but aren't. I was trying to tell him that it was not just pink, but raw-red, and still cold, but to no avail. The cook was extremely inappropriate arguing back with me (a customer) even when the awesome waitress was telling him to just cook another chicken portion for my husband. My husband felt terrible (given he is a line cook) and did not want to escalate the situation. My husband stood up and apologized and told the cook that he was going to go ahead and eat it, because maybe it was just that one bite. However, upon taking the next bite, my husband could not continue eating the raw chicken. The next chicken bite was not just a little raw, but factually frozen cold. At this point, my very embarrassed husband asked the waitress if the cook could just cook him another, since that chicken was inedible. I want to stress that our waitress was FANTASTIC in every way. She asked the cook prepare another chicken portion. The problem became worse, however, when the next portIon arrived because it was completely charred!! It was so burned that it was utterly inedible. It is clear the cook purposely burned the chicken portion since he was clearly upset & belligerent that I complained about the raw chicken he had initially cooked. As a cook, he should have never argued with me about how the raw-looking chicken was normal, and he should have just cooked another piece the right way. This bad experience was not totally terrible, thanks to the fantastic waitress. We will return again at some point, but only because of her and her phenomenal service. I hope the cook receives some much needed customer-service training and learns to never argue with customers who point out raw chicken.
Stopped by here after staying in Windsor overnight after a concert in Detroit. The street parking in front was free on Sunday which was nice. We were a bit confused on where to enter as there are 2 different doors. There was a sign that said to see a server to be seated but there were none outside and for some reason we couldn't get the doors to open. Eventually a really nice server came out and got us seated outside. I don't love eating outside but it didn't seem like there was an option to sit inside. I had an iced coffee and their pancakes which come with home fries. The pancakes were really nice but almost too large of a portion! I could only eat 2 of them. The hash browns were soooo good and crispy. We had a little bee friend that was bugging us (no pun intended) our whole meal which is why I don't love to eat outside. About halfway through the servers started offering indoor seating and I kind of wish we had been given that option as well.
My fiancé and I had a lovely Sunday breakfast yesterday at A Dogs Breakfast!! I just had the classic two eggs, bacon, toast, home fries! Totally delicious and fantastic service! Everyone there is very friendly! My fiancé has two autoimmune diseases that trigger food allergies, it's hard to go out ESPECIALLY for breakfast, no egg yolks, no gluten, no dairy. Well we called ahead and this was no issue! We got there and ordered, he had four egg whites, gluten free toast without butter, peameal bacon and home fries! We had a wonderful breakfast and it's so nice to find a place he can enjoy!

Food was great - tucked away in an open courtyard like area. Easy to find. Service was cheerful but a bit concerning as it was delayed but it was busy so maybe deserves grace. Food was good and well proportioned; we ordered an assortment and shared. The bathroom was a single stall so be prepared to wait if a crowd is there. read more
Gord and I had brunch this morning at the Dog's Breakfast. A mimosa seemed like a good idea! Gord had Eggs Benny with bacon and I had a Southern Fried Chicken Sandwich (I took half the sandwich as leftovers). Yum! John was as friendly as always and took good care of us ... thanks, John! read more

Very trendy spot. If you're looking for a place to post your meal on Instagram, this should be your choice. Main takeaways: -medium price -slow WiFi -pass on the peameal -service was great -great food presentation on the plate -food was average Although I didn't love the food, this place seemed like the lesser of evils. It's very clean with a trendy look in a place that doesn't have much else to offer. 4 out of 5 stars is accurate for the Detroit market, but would probably be a 3 in Chicago. read more
This place is the cutest! We just happened to go to this store after stopping by The Squirrel Cage and learned that they only serve brunch on the weekend. Ops! Upon arriving, our first words were actually "omg! So cute!" The store is located in a small, well decorated alley full of little restaurants or stores. We heard they are all from the same owner. What we ordered: Sir Benedict - 9/10, tasted pretty good, looked appetizing as well Hash bowl - 7/10, a small bowl of hash brown turned out to be more than enough for brunch since it was kinda cheesy with lots of cheese Mimosa - since it's World Cup season, they can serve mimosas as soon as 9am in Windsor instead of 11am. Woohoo! Verdict: 8/10 for this place if you are a tourist. Worth coming for the view and decent food. If you need inspo for your kitchen, give this place a visit. Server was also pretty nice and attentive. read more

Saturday morning. Enjoying breakfast and then shopping at the farmers market outside of this place. Food was very good. Pork belly Madame Croque, eggs Benedict very good as well. Dressing a little bit overpowering in the salad but otherwise a good place to have breakfast. . read more

Super cute nook downtown windsor. Service was slow.... took me 10 minutes to get my to go box for my left overs. I ended up getting a parking ticket for taking too long. Overall, all my girlfriends enjoy their plate. Typical breakfast that you can't go wrong. read more

I really tried so hard to like this place, I mean if you see the photo I posted, the French Benny looks amazing, but the service was terrible and the food left a bad after taste. The entire time the server was hacking with an bad cough, then they joined the cook outside for a smoke. All in view of the restaurant patrons. I'm mean seriously who does that? At the very least hide around the corner or out back. The menu looked great and it showed real promise. The decor is beautiful and I can imagine it's a great place in summer. This trip, meh, I'm off to search for a better breakfast in YQG. read more

Went to check this place out while studying recently. The service and decor here is top notch. The food unfortunately didn't keep up with the service. I ordered French Benny which is eggs Benny with French toast. The toast was slightly burned and wasn't what j expected. Furthermore the chorizo hash on the reviews wasn't available. The hash I received was just over cooked potatoes. The eggs were poached well and this dish came with pork belly which tasted good. This place has potential hence the three stars instead of two but needs to learn to cook things better especially at a traditional brunch price point. read more

Brand new place and my girl and I were looking forward to trying it. Same owner as the squirrel cage. Cool atmosphere, the inside very white and blue reminding me of Greece. Great choice of music. I love Joni Mitchell When we first got there, we got the chance to talk to the chef a little which was nice. Nice guy and seemed to care about his food. The sausage roll was good. The apple stood out, and I liked the fresh fennel salad. The side chorizo/potato was the only thing that wasn't five stars. The texture was off, possibly due to the small plating. The Sir Benedict was delicious. Sous Vide egg, creamy and worth 45 minutes to cook an egg. Lol. That's funny to me. Fresh tomato, and the puff pastry was very flaky. Pork belly was the star of the show. Tender, fatty and crispy all at the same time. The perfect bite was a hunk of pork belly with egg and avocado purée. Excited to go back. Hoping that the menu changes on a regular basis. Small menu, well priced, and nice design. Check it out. read more

Wow! This place is truly a gem in downtown, we were expecting it to be super busy but we lucked out and were the only customers. The staff was awesome and the food was delicious. Ordered eggs Benedict (only complaint is that it could've used a little more hollandaise but that's just a personal preference) and the croquet madam with a coffee and a Caesar. Definitely will be going back. Cute decor too! Parking was a bit rough, as we didn't have any change for the meters, but we found a parking garage that was cheap. read more
