I was in the area to do some shopping & really needed something to eat. I saw Boom on yelp. I had checked the hours & it said the restaurant closes at 4pm. Guess what? When I walked in at 2.30pm they told me they were closing at 3pm. I wasn't too happy about that but at that point I was getting hangry & just wanted something to eat. I ordered the waffles with banana & strawberries. The server was really nice & I got my food quickly (since they were closing soon). I was expecting one big waffle but it was four small waffles. The food looked delicious when it was served to me. But the waffle didn't have much flavour by itself. The bananas were fine. But the strawberries weren't sweet or ripe. They were a little bit tart. The chocolate syrup on the waffles was tasteless. The floor around my table wasn't the cleanest it could've been. And while I was eating the other servers were cleaning around me. I felt rushed. I paid my bill and gave the waitstaff a tip. It's not their fault the food wasn't that great! And I at least got to use the bathroom before they closed. I don't think I'll eat here again if I'm in the area. I've never seen a restaurant telling their customers that they are going to close 1 hour before their posted closing time. I can understand the staff wanted to get the restaurant closed & be out of there on time. But isn't it normal for a restaurant to close & then clean up? Is this normal for breakfast places? I don't know. I just know I've never experienced this before & I didn't enjoy it. I don't know if their other dishes are better or if the restaurant closing time affected the quality of the food served to me. But I'm not likely to give them another try since my first experience of them wasn't favourable. read more

The place is dressed up real nice. A clean coat of paint, nice tiled floors, an organized open kitchen layout with decoration shelvings. A really fresh entrance walking in. They have thorough precautions in place for pandemic dining including contact tracing, vinyl barriers, and patio/indoor dining & take-out options. But looks aren't everything. I'm sorry. For the portions I got for the price that I paid, I was fairly disappointed. More like.. don't use such a big plate if you're not going to fill it up :( When I go out to treat myself to brunch I like to expect a plateful of never-ending surprises, like.. under each unturned fry would be a piece of bacon I forgot or didn't know about :O But I felt there wasn't much on our plates, hence we got through it pretty quickly making our visit a quick and easy one for them. I want to give it more points, I do. It's not like the food was inedible, just no wow factor for me. Service was fine, ambiance is good. Nice streetcar views of St. Clair W. The TV was working and the seats are comfortable. But like the 2-star rating suggests, "I've experienced better" and don't think I'll be returning anytime soon. read more

Wonderful spot for breakfast! Best food ever ! Thanks service is amazing .... Food was hot and delicious

It's an ok spot and the review average is true to form. This isn't going to be your banging bougie brunch/breakie but it will be a reliable classed up diner that does the trick when it comes to your bacon and eggs. The St Clair location has beautiful looking newish booths and super friendly funny servers. Our server was all kinds of diner sass and we had a good laugh with her. Snagged the classic eggs benny today with a coffee and both we OK. Not the best but ok. The Peamale bacon was more like thinly cut bacon which kinda defeats the allure of a classic Benny because you're looking for that meaty texture of thick cut pork loin. So when you get think, slightly burnt pieces it's a little sad. The eggs were perfectly poached so there's that and the hollandaise sauce was kinda lumpy for my tastes. The dish has some good points like the French fry potatoes but overall I wouldn't order it again. The coffee was diner coffee. Small cup. Strong taste. Although I can't be sure but it wasn't super fresh and had a gritty burnt after taste. Again, it's breakfast. It's hard to mess up and lesson learned when going to a diner stick to the basics. Leave the fancy for the scratch made bougie spots. Eatcrest Out. read more

Came here for the first time and I must say I'm extremely disappointed. Blueberry pancakes were fairly good and steak Benedict was decent. However, the service was awful. The girl who took my order left before I even finished what I was saying. Food came quickly but my order was messed up since the girl didn't fully catch my order. I was okay with this and ate my meal. I look around to notice that she is friendly with everyone else and checks up on everyone but us. From delivery of the food to the end of the meal, she never checked up on us. I felt very uncomfortable, will not be returning. read more

The food is fine and due to the expansion there is less of a wait. But there shouldn't be a 30 minute wait for food, especially for a venue that will attract kids and is essentially diner food. read more

Originally wanted to check out Emma's, but it was packed (and a 45 minute wait) so we walked over to Boom. I've been to their other locations around the city - it's your pretty standard breakfast menu here. The food items are pretty reasonably priced. I ordered a smoothie with my meal (chick-a-dilla); for $5, it was a little expensive. Anyway, I work near the Yonge-Eglinton Boom so I'll be going there instead of this location. Good for: breakfast read more

I went to another breakfast place last weekend - for the hell of it. Well, was I disappointed or what! I don't want to name the place - but they screwed up everything I ordered. I asked for medium poached eggs - got barely warmed up eggs. Awful. Then I asked for scrambled eggs (Who screws up scrambled ? - they did)! Way over cooked. In fact the eggs had a brown crust. They also forgot my rye toast. BOOM NEVER GETS MY ORDER WRONG. ALWAYS PERFECT! Every single time. For so many years - always perfect. I LOVE BOOM BREAKFAST! My son and grand daughter went to Boom on College St. this morning - and again - perfect. They love it there too! OUR GO TO PLACE! Boom Breakfast!! Thank you Boom! read more

We love coming here, this was our go to spot for like 5 years. But this time the start was awkward. We walk in, no one greeted us, so a girl-from behind the counter noticed us awkwardly standing there and asked me how many, and then she gave me an option to sit. Right after another waitress/ hostess with black hair and rudely degrades the only person who acknowledged us awaiting our seats. And then repeats the question to us, as if her coworker wasn't competent enough. Which was horrible, the girl behind the counter seemed embarrassed. I feel really terrible for her, and I am happy that at least she noticed us. Thank you. The way you treat your coworkers really shows how you value people. Such an awful experience. The food is really good, our second waitress was extremely nice. I'm glad we didn't get the first one again. Ps the prices have gone up crazily, about 20$ per person! read more

Breakfast at Boom is good. Is it worth lining up for? Not really. Presentation is great, Boom frites are mighty tasty, eggs cooked to perfection. But, it is a good solid breakfast place, not outstanding. Their coffee is very strong...might be able to clean out your organs with a cup. I had the huevos, and it was fair- not a traditional huevos, it was in a wrap. The guac was pretty good. Friends I was with had Tuscan eggs and 2 eggs over medium. They had been to Boom before and were big fans. Dunno - maybe it was built up for me and didn't live up to its expectations. You do see the kitchen staff and they work like crazy! They earn their wages that is for sure....actually....I am sure they could all use raises!! If had choice, would prefer to go to Le Gourmand for breakfast. read more

Never going back didn't eat because Sunnyside eggs were cold and over cooked while waiting because I sent t the eggs back found a hair in my pancakes me and my friends we asked for the bill, I didn't eat at all my friend had eating half of his breakfast, but he stopped when I show him the hair on pancakes and the manager came to talk to us, didn't even say sorry, he just said I will give you 50 percent off, about you serve us properly??? Disgusting place, bad management and rude waitress, we came here to eat, we didn't ask for a discount, we wanted to be served properly and get a decent breakfast, I guess you can't do that??? People please save your money read more

My lantern held high, I continue my search for the Perfect Breakfast Diner Within a Fifteen-Minute Walk From My Home. Alas, today was not the day. Boom Breakfast & Co. has a lot going for it, believe me. Bright, sunny room (but not too bright), big menu, quick & pleasant service, and good food. The Boom fries are delicious. It doesn't quite make it because it's a) too noisy, b) too briskly efficient, and c) a hair too expensive. I want to have the option of lingering over my tea (and it's a nice touch if that tea is included in your two-egg breakfast), but the pace is too quick for that to feel comfortable, and too loud for a romantic breakfast chat. The portions are not as large as I'm used to, which may not be a bad thing, but one piece of toast instead of two feels like skimping. Maybe I should go back and try the eggs benny? read more

I'm giving them three stars so that my rating will not have any appreciable effect on their rating. Be warned, they won't let you in with a stroller. I cannot comment on food because we didn't eat but thought it prudent to share their stance on strollers as this would likely be a place to take your kid for breakfast or brunch. read more

So my friends live in the area around here (Wychwood Heights its called? I unno. St Clair West seems better..)and this is their go - to spot for brunch. I suggested we go to Brunhworks, but they told me this place was a lot cheaper, so $$$ yes. We waited about 45 minutes for a table in that super cramped little area. That was a mission and a half on its own..plus the cost of being hungover and it was snowing outside (As usual) so I wasn't the happiest per say. Anyways, we sat down to a cute booth (super props to them fro having a booth that I actually fit into..super props for that) We had : 1. The Westtern Sandwich - This was.. okay. The eggs were overcooked for my taste, and there wasn't a top of toppings. The bread could've used some butter, but yea. The boom frites were amazing though. Super super super good. 2. The Chick-a-dilla - This was a a breakfast quesidilla I guess. It was quite tiny I guess, bbut the guac was AWESOME. 3. The Power Breakfast - Standard fare 4. My friend's Omelette.- didn't get to try this. The place is cute, but the breakfast was under-whelming. The servers were super super cute though. Don't come here during the rush rush hours like we did, but it's a decent place I guess. We'll be back here soon read more

If I could give this place a zero I would. I got so sick few hours after. Worst food poisoning sickness possible. Avoid this place at all costs unless you like to spend the week throwing up and breaking toilets. read more

(3.5/5) fairly good, but pricey. First off this place opens earlier than most on a Saturday morning so it is a good option for early risers. Once you settle in and look at their menu, you will see quite a vast array of yummy options. The egg florentine and smoke salmon (Benny Boom) is tasty and their pancakes are light, fluffy and sweet. However, the fruit accompaniments left much to desire. The service was fair, however our waitress could have been a little more attentive (note this was first visit). The prices are noticeably high which makes this an expensive breakfast spot. read more

I went to Boom today, ordered Benny (poached eggs with bread and salmon), it was good. Also I had French toast. Everything good, the service was good too. I just didn't like that they use straws for every single drink (juice, alcohol drinks, sodas...). It is such a waste, so sad about that. They should give the drink w/o straw at all. read more

What a great breakfast spot! Lovely service (from the younger staff at least), fair prices and good diner style brekky food. Loved the Canadian sausage breakfast, yum!

I have made the mistake of coming to this restaurant more than once but I will never make the mistake of going a third time. With so many great breakfast places in the city including Emma's country kitchen just a block away you'd have to be a fool to waste your money and time eating at Boom, the service is horrible and the food is garbage with no flavour. My suggestion, enjoy the many awesome breakfast places that Toronto has to offer just don't make Boom one of them read more

Ordered the steak and eggs, I pretty much filled myself up with the McCain Wedges and eggs, the steak looked like it was boiled no flavour and half of it was fat. Not worth the 50 bucks for two people. read more

You may notice the line ups from time to time, but trust me, not worth it. I've given Boom a few chances now and the consensus still remains: below average. For the amount of volume alone, you would expect the place to be top notch and always innovating. But no, hasn't happened yet. Yeah, their home fries are fantastic, but that's about it. I was there with a friend back when they opened, and he ordered a "side" of toast... The result, ONE slice of bread cut in half. The most aggravating factor for me though is, by far, the service. You almost get the feeling that the staff is always overwhelmed and frustration sets in. Inattentive and poor attitude. You just can't win here. If you're not waiting forever for your food, you're either going to be waiting for water (or other beverages), and/or even the bill to arrive. Don't believe the hype. The patio in the summer yields more disappointment. If breakfast or brunch is what you're after and you have a set of wheels, head over to Bonjour Brioche on Queen St. East. You won't be sorry. read more

Epic Fail. Formulaic, bland and all around uninspiring. There was nothing overtly wrong with this place but there was nothing overtly right with it either. The menu has lots of options and you can see that they're trying, as best a chain can, with their presentation. Unfortunately the food is seriously lacking in oomph. Yes, the homefries do have a tasty coating but it's not good enough to bring us back. If Boom was priced in the same range as diners I could rationalize another visit but they're trying to contend in a much higher bracket. For the $ you can go to an independent restaurant that has an evolving/fresh menu. I've added a full star for the service that we received and witnessed. Every staff member that we encountered was really friendly and everyone was well attended to. read more

3.5 stars A few elements detract from the enjoyment of this clean, efficient breakfast spot. First is the "chain" vibe...for good reason - it is part of a chain. Next is smaller details like their breakfast potato. They are frozen "frites", which are really just spiced wedge french fries. Lastly, the (single piece of!) toast doesn't come buttered (as in virtually all other breakfast places), but is supplied in a wasteful, plastic container. That said, they have a competitively priced standard breakfast...a huge menu if the standard breakfast doesn't grab you, and they'll even do eggs 'n onions! The coffee was above average, the multi-grain toast was great, and they serve espresso-based drinks, if you're so inclined. read more

Boom Breakfast Co is our favourite breakfast place so far. Convenient for us users of the 512 streetcar line, good ambience, good service, good food. As the other reviewers already said, there's always a line. It's not a hype, it is really a nice place. Whatever you order there, don't miss their home fries, they are awesome. I don't know what they put on them to make them taste so good. I also like their espresso, their pancakes and waffles. If there's a better place for breakfast around... I have yet to know. read more

Came here for breakfast on thanksgiving Sunday morning. We were a bit discouraged by the lineup that met us when we arrived, but the line moved very quickly. We were served cut up pieces of waffle while we waited. When it was time to order, we both got what I would consider to be a standard breakfast. We got eggs, toast, homefries, and sausages. We also got one waffle which we shared. The home fries were quite possibly the best I've ever had. They were cooked well (I hate biting into a fry and getting that hard, uncooked potato feeling in my mouth) they were also seasoned to perfection. We got two sausages each, and boy were they huge. I feel like each sausage was equivalent to like 3 regular breakfast sausages. They were delicious. The waffle...my God the waffle. It was just heavenly. It was just soft and fluffy and amazing. The toast and the eggs were great as well. The service was great. The host at the front was very nice and our server was funny-attentive but not over the top. I definitely recommend this place if you're looking for your standard diner breakfast done WELL. :) read more

We went to this restaurant after a cousin recommended it to us. We have no clue what they saw in this place because the food was mediocre and the wait staff, while very friendly, were extremely overworked. I put the blame on management - not our server - forgetting to bring our drinks. The pancakes looked and tasted like they came from pancake mix and my omelette was way overcooked. Food was overpriced for the portions and quality. There are only two redeeming qualities about this place. The space lets in a lot of sunlight and it's very wheelchair friendly. read more

Way over priced for what it is. This place is a classic example of "great branding". Decor was sharp and well themed. Clean blue tiles, egg shaped lighting etc. But then you look at the food options and the prices and it's just so boring. You can have eggs, eggs, eggs or eggs. With a side of eggs. Cmon...give me one of those big plate options with bacon and/or sausage home fries, toast. And it shouldn't be $14 either. I'll stick to better prices, wider selections, and less "selling the sizzle, not the steak" read more

You can not beat this breakfast joint !!

This is one of the best places I have gone too I love it it is cheap the portions are big really My meal was only 10 dollars the only complaint I have is the fries were very dry and my butter melted for the toast I would go back amazing read more

Average chain restaurant experience. Food is good but obviously on the more expensive side compared to breakfast at mom & pop shops but Boom is open on Sundays - which I don't recommend because it gets super packed, line up is crazy. The entrance isn't designed the best for this. I came in this Sunday. Service was mediocre. Our server forgot my tea. Took her 20 minutes to bring it. Another 30 minutes to bring our food. She actually never introduced herself so I never got her name. Point is - average food, a bit on the pricier side. If you want breakfast, go for it. read more
