This was our first visit to Campus Hi-Fi restaurant. We were greeted by very friendly waitstaff and seated immediately. Our menus were given right away and drink orders taken at the same time. As soon as our drinks were delivered, our food order was taken. My husband ordered the Eggs Benedict with brie, spinach and mushrooms. I ordered the corned beef hash with very soft, sunny-side up eggs. Our food was delivered quite quickly, but I noticed my eggs looked like they were over-easy and in fact on of them was quite firm. I mentioned to the waitress that they looked like they were over-easy. She said 'no, that's sunny-side up'. She did offer to have eggs remade for me right away, so I greatly appreciated that. Everything tasted very nice and my second set of eggs were much better and nice and runny. The watermelon that was served with our breakfast was a little tired-looking and almost as if it had been ripped rather than cut. I wish I had the option of leaving a 3.5 star rating as the food was quite good and the waitstaff were efficient and friendly but I just can't give a 4-star when the eggs had to be sent back and the fruit wasn't very fresh. We would probably return and give them another chance because the food tasted very nice. read more

Good eats! Great service and excellent prices! Would go back again. It was a very cozy environment!

Low key brunch spot in downtown London with a student vibe. Definitely a greasy spoon type of place but they serve all the standard breakfast items in large portions and at low prices. Service is quick and cheerful. I got a chili/chorizo omelette with avocado and sides of potatoes, greens, and toast for $12. It tasted good and filled me up, but was also very heavy (chorizo was sitting in grease). Toast was kind of soggy. My friend got a standard breakfast combo with eggs, toast, and bacon for $8. So you can really get a cheap breakfast at this place! They only take cash or debit so don't plan to pay with a credit card. read more

Campus Hi-Fi is a Western classic, and I finally came here for the first time today! My friends and I braved the first snowfall (storm) of the year, and were greatly rewarded with a substantial meal. I was really craving peameal (I have super weird cravings, don't judge) and so chose to order the peameal, lettuce, tomato sandwich on whole wheat bread. Was highly tempted by the fries, but since I haven't been feeling up to the weather recently, I opted for the salad instead. My three friends ordered the chocolate chip buttermilk pancakes, For The Hungry, and the Shawn's Breakfast Poutine. My meal came, and I was quite satisfied by the generous portion of salad on the side. It's odd how lettuce should be one of the restaurants' lowest margin products, yet it's one they skimp out on the most. I was hoping for more peameal, but the crunchy buttered toast with the PLT was delicious enough and hit the spot just right! I also sampled a bit of my friend's chocolate chip pancake, and it was so sweet and homey. Mmm! Overall, you get extremely large portions for what you pay for. Be careful with payment, however, as they're very particular with method of payment! Next time, when I feel better, I will definitely order one of their more famous breakfast options. Not to say the PLT wasn't good, but it just wasn't up to par. :) read more

I was in London for an eye appointment 3 years ago and stopped in for a bit to eat here before I headed out of the city. Boy was I surprised at how thankful my taste buds would be. As someone mentioned previously, this place is definitely a little whole in the wall, but the burgers...oh the burgers. I had the best Greek burger I have ever had at this place, and I have been dying to come back. Three years later I was passing through London and I came back to this wonderful place. It's small, quaint and appears to be family owned. They have a selection of fresh pies for dessert and various specials on the chalkboard. I ordered...of course, the Greek burger. Each burger comes with onion, tomato, lettuce and pickle. This one also has tzatziki sauce (something you don't often see on burgers, but a great idea) and feta. They fry their bun for a second or two that gives it this delicious flavour and crispiness. You can tell the burgers are home made too. The best thing about their burger menu is that you start with the traditional burger and toppings and then they have a huge list of other toppings you can get for a $1-$1.50. I love building your own burger. Wait, actually the best thing about the burgers are the fries that come with it. They're probably the best fries I've ever had. They have that crispy coating that not many places have and in my opinion gives me reason not to use any condiments. The menu was quite extensive. There were a lot of other home made dishes I'd like to try in the future, but I needed that Greek burger. I'm told their all day breakfast is quite good as well. Service is friendly and quick. Every time I come to London, you can bet I will be stopping here. read more

After five years of living in London, and moving downtown two years ago, I finally made it to Campus Hi-Fi. I came here today with a few friends who stayed the night last night, and we all we're looking to get some breakfast. So we walked from our place to Campus Hi-Fi, and since majority of the students are gone for the summer, we were able to find a seat right away and didn't have a long wait at all. Upon arriving today, they had a note on their door indicating that their debit/credit machine was down and were only able to take cash. Luckily, there was a TD ATM across the street. We sat in a booth by the door, above their daily specials board and a waitress came up right away, handed us menus and took our drink order, four waters and four black coffees. There was a lot of great selection on the menu, but the Greek Eggs Benny was calling my name! My boyfriend ordered the club sandwich with home fries and sausage. Our meals came out in good time, were hot and ready to eat. My eggs were poached perfectly and the Hollandaise sauce was creamy and delicious. The best part about the meal was the fact that it had goat cheese on it, I love goat cheese and it just made the whole meal so flavourful. The home fries also tasted great, and not dry, I'm not much of a potato person, but these were good. This place has been a staple of London and Western students for years. Now that I've actually had a taste for it and how diners are also a London staple, I'm hoping to return here soon and often. What a great place for a great breakfast (served all day) and affordable prices, for the wage conscious student, or person, plus it's a great walk if you live downtown! read more

0 start-Treated the delivery driver like trash. unprofessionalism and extreme rudeness. I am a social worker who advocates for individuals and their rights, as well as a part-time Uber driver. I'm writing this on behalf of all delivery drivers who don't get treated right by the restaurant owners or waitresses. Around 10 a.m. on Saturday (2022-09-10), I went there to pick up an order. To emphasize, it is as follows: 1, The first issue is a lack of available parking for both the customer and the delivery person to pick up. To avoid tickets, always park far away from the restaurant. 2, The second problem is that the Italian or another European-born lady who doesn't speak perfect English is treated in an unprofessional manner. terrible experience She immediately displayed to me her lack of professionalism when I got there. She didn't greet you with a hello or a hey; she didn't welcome you; she treated you like garbage. 3, She requested that I swipe my app, as we drivers typically do while driving to the customer, and I replied that I would do it once I started driving because I had parked a long way from the restaurant. She said, " I don't care" with an unpleasant attitude. She follows me as I try to leave the restaurant while I'm being patient, and she tries to harass me, which is very inappropriate for anyone. This kind of person shouldn't run a restaurant or work at the front of a business. The male and the very young girl, who were both pleasant, are not included in this. (They're nice). This is specifically for the lady mentioned above. 4, Many delivery people are voiceless. The waitress and the owners of the restaurant believe they are on top of the roof. No one is aware of how the real restaurant owner treats the delivery drivers, despite the fact that many drivers receive ratings. Fortunately, I work as a delivery driver, so I can speak for many other drivers in the city. The owners of the restaurant want you to swipe the app as soon as you receive their meals. They don't want to pay Uber, which is the reason why. The issue is this: the food isn't made rapidly or immediately. On occasion, they keep you waiting for more than 20 minutes. They have no idea that you even exist. They are serving other clients, but they are unaware that you are a delivery driver on behalf of a client who is eagerly awaiting food delivery at home. Generally speaking, it is very unprofessional. Tips- Don't be rude to delivery people. Not only do the delivery drivers deliver food to the customers, but they may also be your customers. Such treatment is unacceptable. The first smile Following that, greet and second, gently request the customer and order numbers. Stop acting so rudely in front of us. You are merely a restaurant owner, not owning people. Treat everyone the same way you would like to be treated. At the end of the day, we are all just humans, whether you own a restaurant, a delivery business, or a refuge for the homeless. Everyone is entitled to fair treatment. Thank you, read more

Having heard many great reviews about this little restaurant, I finally checked it out on a Wednesday morning. There were a fair amount of customers, but our party of 4 was immediately seated upon arriving. I ordered the Holiday Benny, which included avocado, bacon, and goat cheese. It was written on the chalkboard, so I'm not sure how often this is available. All eggs benny's come with a fruit salad and potatoes, which results in a very large portion. I loved the prints on the walls, and the service was good. A fabulous choice for brunch at a convenient location. read more

After hearing people rave about the all day breakfast here I had to check it out. My fiancé and I went on a Wednesday so there were lots of tables open and but there was a steady flow of customers. I can imagine this place is just packed on a Saturday or Sunday morning so I'll probably stick to a week day visit. The decor is nothing to rave about, simple, clean and cute. The food, holy crap, the food. First off, I ordered the wrong meal so I got WAY more food than I intended to get but I didn't want to be a jerk and change my order. The campus combo does not mess around. It was the most massive plate of breakfast food I have ever laid eyes on and I was quite impressed. My food was delicious, my eggs were perfect, pancakes were delicious and I loved the option of Rye bread for my toast. I barely made a dent in the potatoes. Overall, I learned my lesson that this meal was for serious eaters. Service was excellent, our server was polite and checked in on us a few times. Our food came out incredibly fast and was perfect. I can see the table turnover on a busy weekend being quick as to cut down on wait times. Overall, this place was great and definitely my new breakfast spot. read more

Campus Hi-Fi Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - London, Ontario

Cheap, cheerful, no frills and sticks to your ribs. These are the words Id use to describe this long standing London greasy spoon. The music is from the 50s (and I'm pretty sure so are the very sweet staff). Like any other diner from the era, it's got the classic red leather benches and 50s memorabilia adorning the wall. I ordered the western skillet which came topped with hollandaise and 2 eggs. What was different about this skillet from others is that they use shredded potatoes instead of potato chunks/ whole potatoes. I didn't think I'd like this, but when cooked with onions and other fillings it actually makes a great easy to eat dish - similar to a scrambled egg. Eatcrest out read more

Great place to have breakfast in London. The hollandaise sauce was so amazing! My girl got the house egg-benedict and I got the "the hungry". I dipped my sunny side eggs with the hollandaise sauce and toast; so damn good yall! Now, the bacon and sausage links were too salty for me, so I deducted 1 star for that. Overall, good food and service overall. read more

As a broke college student, this place is premium for a bacon-egg-sausage-pancake filled breakfast/brunch. Officially our new Saturday spot. When we first walked in, the place was a little full so we waited about 5 minutes, but the staff was very accommodating. We ended up getting a booth seat that was clean and comfortable. The wait staff was very helpful and polite. I ended up getting the "hungry" breakfast, which had 3 eggs just how I liked them, bacon, sausage, potato, toast, and 2 pancakes. After eating all of it, which was a crazy large amount of food, I skipped lunch. The food was great, and amazingly priced. I paid 10 dollars for such an insane amount of food that tasted really good. Would definitely recommend. read more

Campus Hi-Fi Restaurant - The "For The Hungry" breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - London, Ontario

I went there for a brunch. Pretty good environment, tasty foods awesome service. I shared Brazilian skillet with my girlfriend with extra home fries. Home fries is a must. Skillet was fine but I guess the fries taste raised our expectations. I guess you gonna be quite satisfied with the amount, taste and quality compared to what you are paying for. Have fun, Cheers read more

I have frequented Campus Hi-Fi for the past 2 years or so. The food is nothing special--it's eggs, bacon, pancakes, etc. but they have some interesting omelettes and the menu is extensive. I almost always get the Campus Combo because it's the best deal (and the blueberry pancakes are delicious). The portions are huge, the food tastes good and the service is quick. I'm not a fan of the coffee because it either tastes watered down or burnt. Also, the chocolate milk is very strange here. It just doesn't taste how you would expect chocolate milk to taste and I would not recommend it. It gets really busy on the weekends so plan to arrive earlier in the day or prepare to wait. Even when there is a line, it usually goes pretty fast. I wouldn't recommend coming here with a big group; seating is limited so I'd say 4 people is the max. unless you want to wait for a considerable amount of time. read more

Corn beef hash. Excellent. Service excellent. Only drawback. Speed from the kitchen. read more

Pretty good breakfast place! Stepped in here on a Sunday and it was fairly packed but we still got seated relatively quick. Service was good and coffee was always being offered. I got the "For the hungry" breakfast which consisted of 3 eggs, french toast, potatoes, 2 sausages, 2 strips of bacon, and watermelon slice. The waitress offered brown, white or rye bread, and I went with the rye since it's an unusual option for breakfast. The plate was a hit/miss. The rye was toasted to the point of cardboard, so that wasn't enjoyable. The bacon was crisped to death and felt more like a salty bacon chip. The sausages were also crisped but thankfully, the fat content kept the insides from drying out like the bacon. The potatoes were flavourless. The eggs were done well and so was the french toast - in fact, the sides were really the biggest disappointments. Why only 3 stars? Not a great value. They charged extra for the rye (which was never stated) and extra for the coffee refill (which was only a coffee top off). And the extras in the plate like the bacon and the potatoes were underwhelming. That being said, I'll probably be back on the weekdays when it's actually worth visiting. There's a ton of specials before 11am. read more

I live right by here but it's taken me over a year to finally try it. It certainly doesn't look like much from the outside but with the line up out the door screamed "I'm delicious, eat here!" I ordered the western breakfast bowl which was delicious! The hash browns were perfectly cooked and our waitress was actually super attentive. My husband got the bacon with his breakfast and unfortunately that was the low point of our meal. It tasted like a old tire. Overall though, I would recommend everyone eat here at least once, you won't regret it read more

For such a hole in the wall this place is pretty good. The skillets were actually tasty ($8.50) Coffee was ok. The regular egg special during the week is $4.45 w/ coffee. The waitress was raunchy and talked about spanking & sex. Funny yet odd but attentive service. I highly recommend for a breakfast or brunch. Also very inexpensive. read more

Cute and nice small diners for early birds or for students, only reason I have 4 stars is because when my friend was paying in cash the waitress took three dollars as her own tip, without our knowledge and my friend tipped her two, and she said " now I have five bucks" and winked. Confused at first, we left. But then realized what she meant. Kinda rude read more

The hours have always confused me... but besides that this place is great! Next to Billy'S downtown on Dundas it's one of my favourite places in the city to get breakfast. Really good food, and decent prices as well. read more

I've loved this place for years! Great price, and always delicious. It's the kind of place I'd wait in line for (and a few times I have!). I'm always a sucker for the eggs benedict, and I always leave having overeaten. read more

Absolutely horrible service, medium to subpar food and very pricey I am shocked. I used to come here frequently 5-8 years ago and it was one of the best breakfast/brunch spots in London! I cannot say that anymore after my experience from last Sunday at around 2:30-3 in the afternoon. All the servers were rude the moment we entered, we were told by one server it will take only "a few seconds" for us to be seated (there were 4 of us). It was a little busy so we gave them time.....20 mins later majority of the tables were empty and most of the people have left. The server that told us it will only take a few seconds completely ignored us when we approached her if we can be seated. Out of all the servers, there was one server that noticed we were being ignored, approached us apologized and seated us in her section and only because of her I'm giving this place 2 stars. The food arrived quickly so I applaud the service however it tasted average and nothing was special about it. I had also noticed that prices had increased (yes food costs have risen over the years, inflation etc) yet was not justifiable because the food tasted average. I'm willing to pay a lot of money for quality food but this wasn't the case here and you really can't mess up eggs, bacon or French toast. Overall I'd recommend other breakfast / brunch places to go to such as family circle, westside restaurant, richies etc don't waste your time or money here. read more

My sister and I were shopping at Urban Outfitters and wanted to go somewhere closeby for lunch. This diner was across the street and I've only heard great things, so we came here on impulse. It was a Wednesday afternoon, so only half the diner was filled. ~$8 for the lunch special? Hell yeah, I'm down. It came with cream of mushroom soup, sandwich, and fries. Their portions are huge and their fries are amazing! Definitely worth every penny. The waitress seemed impatient but whatever, I can overlook it with the delicious fries and inexpensive prices. You'll definitely be seeing me around! read more

This is a great place to go whether you are hungover or not! It is always packed! You might need to wait a bit if you're there on a weekend but trust me it is worth the wait. I have never had a bad experience there. The service is great and friendly and it is so cheap and you get a tonne of food! read more

This is a place you want to go for a big filling greasy breakfast. I had a skillet combo here and left feeling crazy full but satisfied.

The only reason why I will give this place 3 stars is because the restaurant manager (it looked like she was running the show) was a little racist. I hate to say this but that was the feeling me and my friend got. She would smile and talk to everybody else but every time she came and talked to us she wore a frown on her face and spoke with the tone of a jailer from a penitentiary. However, the food was great and for the price it was a lot of food. In the end I was struggling to finish my food and it's not that I had ordered more than I could eat. So if you want to eat good food for a cheap to reasonable price, you have to check this place out. read more

I had an excellent experience at this restaurant. I went with a group, and so was able to sample quite a number of options. First of all, the service was excellent, and waitress was very friendly and accommodating. Even though it was busy, we never felt neglected, or like we were unattended. Secondly, the prices were very reasonable for what we got, and the food was quite tasty for the most part. Food; French Toast- ~5.50. Two thick slices of French Toast- This was ok, not the best but not that bad. 2)Eggs Benedict ~$7.- Delicious!! Their Hollandaise sauce is quite yummy and the meal is VERY filling. 3)Western Skillet- $8.50. We had the skillet with Sunnyside up eggs, which I recommend and it was excellent! Lots of meat, lots of filling. You will not be left hungry after this meal. Finally, the Mediterranean Omelette ~$9.5- was quite tasty, though a little salty- probably because of the artichokes. The feta cheese was an excellent touch. The omelette came with potatoes and a salad as well. Overall, the dishes were well done, large portions and affordable prices. I will definitely return, especially for the Eggs Benedict. It is a great breakfast/brunch place read more

Hi Fi is a perfect place to go for classic bacon and eggs downtown! The prices are reasonable and there's lots of selection. The sausage is really good! Some things to keep in mind are that it is quite small and gets very busy weekend mornings so be prepared to be cramped and don't come in big groups. Also you cannot use their debit machine if your total is less than $12! We had to group our two bills together as neither of us had cash. read more

I've definitely been to better breakfast places with better service, and less wait time. They have the worst, driest french toast and just okay potatoes. I suppose students like it because its cheap and the location is key, but it's not a breakfast place for me. read more

I absolutely love this place! It's our go-to spot for breakfast. I usually get the special. What makes it a cut above other places is the potatoes. Real potatoes fried with onions and seasoning. The sausages are great, and cooked perfectly so they're kind of a little crisp on the outside. Garnished with a slice of watermelon. I've also ordered the breakfast burrito many times and it is awesome! It's a huge meal. Eggs benedict's great, too. Actually, anything the entire family has ever ordered here has been a hit. Sometimes there are line-ups to get in because the place is small (& it is tightly packed with tables) but it's worth it. read more

Honestly I absolutely loved the food here!!! The big breakfast is very big lol I couldn't even finish it. Best breakfast place on Richmond so far. read more

Very cute little spot...clean and fast service. Got the standard breakfast, was well portioned and yummy. Would definitely go back....beats many of the similar breakfast spots in London. read more

If your hungover and can barely move then try to drag yourself here for a nice hit of grease and salt to bring you back to life. If you are sober well dont expect too much the breakfast is good and so are the burgers but anything else is below average or PRETTY good. The location delivers with the awesome diner feel but don't bother coming on weekend always packed out the door and the servers are cranky (got yelled at for ordering coffee in then chocolate milk) not bad for what it is. read more

Food was ok but worst customer service ever! I was 7 month pregnant and ask server what kind of tea they have and server pointd at one corner said :"go figure out what you want and let me know" then she went off ! I was shocked and she came back after 10 min. almost throw a hotwater teapot on to our table asked "so which one ?" Food was fine but will never go back to that place. read more

Food is awesome and cheap. People give the service bad reviews but if you had to wait on spoiled Western frat boys and basic bitches all day, you'd be to. She just has a good sense of humour. Just be polite and courteous as you always should be and you won't have any problems. Also, awesome hangover food. read more

Hands down the best breakfast in London. However parking difficult and sometimes can't get a table.
