The portions here are huge! For Dad's Big Breakfast, you can definitely share between 2 people…read more It's only $22 and you get a lot of food. We also got the Burger Benny ($19) but I would say for $3 more Dad's Big Breakfast is a better deal, especially if you split it with another person. The Burger Benny was ok. I wasn't a huge fan of the meat in it. But, Dad's Big Breakfast I enjoyed more. The potatoes are yummy. Everything else is pretty standard. Nothing to rave about, but I did enjoy it. Service was also really good and the workers there are very friendly. I would recommend this place if you're looking for a decent breakfast place. But, if you're looking for elevated breakfast dishes, this isn't the place for that. In the pictures: Dad's Big Breakfast (I forgot to take a picture of the pancakes though - it came with 2 of them) and the Burger Benny.

We found GMF on Yelp while visiting Toronto for the National Bank Open. A nice little diner style…read morerestaurant in an easy to access and not overly busy plaza. It has a sort of repurposed warehouse vibe, very clean and spacious and no waiting on a Sunday morning. The staff was very pleasant and efficient. The food was more or less normal breakfast fare. The fruit was very fresh. Prices were reasonable. Nothing super outstanding or unique but exactly the kind of place I would want to go to for breakfast on a weekend .

Food: 4 Stars Service: 4 Stars…read moreAmbience: 4 Stars Fill Factor: Filling I have passed by this restaurant many times over the years but never really paid much attention to it as the storefront did not stand out. However me and my partner had a craving for some breakfast food so decided to give this a shot. The short story is that this is a nice little breakfast place with solid food and great service. I ordered a classic breakfast with scrambled eggs, sausage, toast and home fries while my partner ordered the pancakes. My breakfast was solid. It wasn't anything mind blowing but everything tasted as it should and overall I really enjoyed it. My partner's pancakes were really good though. The portions were larger than I anticipated and they were so fluffy. This is definitely what I plan to order the next time I come here. Service was great as the server was friendly, the food came fairly quickly and the server checked up on us regularly. No complaints from me on this front. The restaurant is not overly large but has a decent amount of seating. It was bright and inviting as their window at the front of the shop is fairly large. There was seating along the window so we decided to sit there as the sun was beaming into the shop that day and it was great. All in all, this is a nice local breakfast spot that I would easily recommend as everything from the food, service and atmosphere was great. Give it a try.

Was warmly greeted by Christopher and was told to sit anywhere I desired. Was provided menu's and took our beverage order. The menu is quite the spread and reasonably priced! Settled on the Farmers (2 pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 proteins, home fries and tomato or fruit salad) When I was presented the food, the smell was amazing! The food was prepared to perfection and the pancakes... OMG... they were light, fluffy and oh so yummy. If you are a fan of the proper home fries (read: NOT fried) - you will be in heaven! The vibe here is amazing and wondering why I did not discover this gem earlier! Come by, say hi to Christopher and crew and enjoy a wonderfully crafted meal.

Food was delicious and served relatively quickly, great portion sizes…read more Staff service is friendly and tend to your needs as quickly as possible, There's a decent amount of tables not too too close to each other lots of windows to let the sunlight in.

Panagios is always busy with a steady stream of diners on weekends. I had heard about the place…read morebefore, plus judging from the lineups it looks like it'd be a decent breakfast spot to try out if you're looking to try something different? My table ordered an omelette, a burrito, and pancakes along with coffee. Texmex Messy Burrito - Scrambled eggs, although this one was not served as advertised, since it was more like an omelette instead of scrambled eggs. This seemed to disappoint one picky eater at our table who was also upset that the bacon wasn't crispy enough. Inside the burrito was soft non-crispy bacon, green pepper, cheddar cheese, and there was salsa verde drizzled on top, served with lightly salted home fries and fresh fruit (cantaloupe, honeydew and pineapple). Cowboy Omelette - It had ham, onion, green pepper omelette. Served with fresh fruit (cantaloupe, honeydew and pineapple), homefries, and toast. All their omelettes are made with 4 eggs. Surprisingly the potatoes were not salty like other breakfast places. Enjoyable. Pancakes - Pancakes were nice and fluffy buttermilk pancakes dusted with icing sugar and served with syrup. Simple and tasty! My first time there was a pleasant experience. I was happy with the overall atmosphere of the restaurant, the food and the great service from two really hard-working waitresses. Despite special allergy requests, they were so quick with service and accommodating. We all agreed that Panagios serves good quality food that is on par with other brunch options.

My first visit here was in 2016 and today was a continuation of excellent service & food. The prices are very reasonable.

Sadly there was no chair for her to sit down on yet it didn't stop her from going to her regular spot for a Sunday brunch. She told me that she has been coming here for many years, even before it was called Sammy's. Has it been 30 years, she asked herself? Either way, she made it known that she is quite the regular. Very nice and friendly lady. These are the types of regulars that make the diner what it is. There is a sign in clipboard at the front, as soon as you walk in. You have to sign in as part of contact tracing in case there is an outbreak of COVID linked back to this establishment. Make sure you do not block the pathway from behind the bar, I didn't block it but a large family with several kids needed a place to stand in line and wait for a big table, because servers will get very mad at you and tell you "I NEED TO GET BY! DON'T BLOCK THE WAY!" But there is no where to stand when the lineup is 20 people deep. This is something to think about once the weather gets colder and there is a long lineup out the door. Perhaps takeout would be a better option than to be yelled at by the short haired waitress with tattoos? While I did not mind waiting and I had a book to occupy my time in the lineup and at the table before I was given the menu, I could see that this was obviously a rush time, prime time lunchtime at the diner, maybe others might be a little more impatient than me? I could watch a snail crawl for hours, patience is a virtue. The wait is very long to get seated and even longer to get food. While the food was pretty good, and the other server was very friendly, attentive and nice, I think they were short staffed that day and nothing is ever as instant as fast food. My advice would be to go here when you have the time to wait. Don't come here if you are in a rush. It's better to only come here when you have lots of time to wait.

Why can't life be as simple as eating in a neighborhood diner. Can hear him having a lively discussion with his wife? in the kitchen while cooking up our orders.

Unfortunately, the crab cakes were not the same as the ones experienced 2 years ago, alot less crab meat chunks and alot more filler.
