Classic diner breakfast serving up large portions. Our server was busy running around, but still stopped by to check how we were doing. Once finished, pay at the front with cash preferred though they do take credit card as well. What we got: - 3 eggs with sausage (comes with homefries and toast) - 3 eggs with 1/2 pound of peameal bacon - Peameal bacon eggs benedict - Pancakes Final Thoughts: No frills breakfast spot. Portions are large and staff are quite quick. We did have a delay on our pancakes with that friend having to wait until everyone was well into their meals before his came out, but the waitress was apologetic and got it to us as soon as it hit the counter. My peameal bacon was quite salty with not enough toast to balance it out, but not bad overall.
My new favourite diner restaurant! The new owners are such a lovely family, who work hard, take care of the customers and are so kind and friendly. I came for lunch and had the classic clubhouse with a poutine, the portion size was amazing and it tasted so good! They constantly had a steady flow of customers coming in. Overall I love this place and the atmosphere and will keep coming back!
A known local fave, went here as the reviews were really good. Keep in mind it can get packed as it is a smaller restaurant. I've heard there can be lines out the door. Luckily didn't encounter that when I went, but it was fairly busy. It has the typical breakfast foods - eggs, sausages, hash, different kinds of toast..etc. The portion are good and the prices even better :) Service is friendly. Is it the best breakfast/brunch I've had - nope. But it's good when you are craving that typical western breakfast. It does the job. It's located in a small strip plaza with not a lot of parking.
Do you like a good old school diner, where the staff makes you feel at home and you leave full and satisfied? Then this place is just awesome. The staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. They were amazing with my toddler! Even the other customers were just great local friendly people. I was digging the whole vibe. I can't wait to go back. The portions are huge. The flavour is just right that you feel guilty for all that grease and carb but still want more. The home fries soft crispy and flavourful. The prices have skyrocketed in the past several years, but it is still cheaper than brunch elsewhere and food prices have gone up significantly for everyone. The mugs are adorable.
Randomly went here as my mom and step dad come here on a weekly basis. It has a very old school diner feel to it with a decent amount of seating, especially for its location. I've lived in the area for eight years and I actually am in the plaza at least two times a month doing my nails a couple doors down and I've never noticed this place before. Better advertising would do a lot because I really enjoyed the food. They serve your typical breakfast food but the portion size for the price is amazing. I got scrambled eggs with home fries and toast as well as a coffee to drink, all of which was great. As for the service, it was fantastic! Not sure if they're always this great or if it's because my parents are regulars here, but our waitress was very attentive, continued to check in on us and refilled our coffees without us having to ask for it. I enjoyed my experience here and will definitely be back!
Mother's Day today, probably a very bad day to come here but my friend highly recommend this place and I don't have a lot of free time available. The place was packed with a lineup of two other parties ahead of me and two behind me. My wait was only 10 minutes; party of one has it's benefits. My all-day breakfast choice was the 3 eggs with house cut (half pound) peameal bacon with hand cut home fried potatoes and thick Texas toast for $10.25 and coffee for $2.00 extra. Staff was courteous and one took my order while another (runner) brought me my java; team approach. The decor reminds me of my parents restaurant growing up with one noticeable difference; this place has inspirational pictures lining the walls. The full service menu was also similar with so many food choices for patrons of all ages with many of them in their 50's...with grandkids in tow. I noted that the bathrooms are downstairs. My coffee cup was readily refilled by a server walking about. Sweet! The breakfast was excellent, especially the 3 large pieces of peameal bacon. Service was also excellent! My friend was right...for once!
Customer service was amazing, Food was on point and tasty!!! Such nice welcoming feel, always made sure we were satisfied and happy with everything. My toast was a little burnt and she even asked if I was okay with that (I secretly like things burnt so it was perfect for me) or the bacon I asked for to be extra crispy, when she brought it she made sure that was how I wanted it. It was the little things that she asked or accommodated for us that made me feel really looked after. Very customer oriented and caring. They even have variety of hot sauces!!!*** Pineapple, papaya, Tabasco and Franks red hot options :) big plus for us since we love sauces. This cute friendly diner is definitely a place I'd come back to. Family feel and tasty food, I'll recommend to everyone!
A well-runned greasy spoon with a steady flow of customers. We came here around 11:30 on a Sunday morning. The place was packed. Luckily, people were leaving as we came in so our wait was not too long. There was a line forming as we were seated. We ordered the Eggs Benedict with peameal bacon and the clubhouse sandwich. Both were great! The Eggs Benedict was loaded with peameal as well as Hollandaise sauce. It was delicious but maybe ask for sauce on the side if you are not a saucy person, like my girlfriend. It came with home fries which were seasoned and cooked perfectly. The clubhouse was definitely one of the best I've had. There was a generous amount of sliced turkey breast and bacon. Each bite was perfect. It also came loaded with French fries. The service was good. Great portions. A meal for two will run you about $30 after tax/tip. We will definitely be coming back to The Gingerman!
A Saturday morning and not to crowded nice. Excellent place for someone who craves a breakfast during the day, all day. Portions are perfect and very tasty. May e not the best coffee I have had but the meal definitely made up for it. The bread used for toast was Texas style, which is a nice choice because you need the extra bread for the 3 eggs you are given. I am not sure why I have not come here more often because I drive by it all the time, but will come back again soon. Oh there is also parking out front so if your driving you should be good.
You cannot resist the charm of this diner. When you enter you are greeted by the waitress, the older gent who buses the tables and even the cooks way in the back. They know their regulars and their orders. The waitress even remembered where we sat last. They know their menu well and can give recommendations to suit your tastes. With this type of place you need to know what to order to make the most of your dining experience. The steak is always a winner, well seasoned and juicy. I would always choose their fries over their home fries because it comes out piping hot and crispy. Egg sandwiches with cheese are also a solid choice. Breakfast served all day assures that we'll be coming back again.
Having grown up in Scarborough and lived/studied/worked downtown, I can say this is one of the great greasy spoons of the GTA, possibly the best in Scarborough. Simple and tasty, decent pricing, and awesome service. My friend and I both got eggs bennie with peameal bacon, and all aspects of the dish - potatoes, poached eggs and the hollandaise (though I detected some margarine in the sauce, not sure if that is the best sub for butter in this case) - were delicious. Service was really friendly, and you know it's a good sign when your coffee is refilled at least a couple times, but they seemed a bit overwhelmed. Perhaps another server on the weekends is due? Last, prices were great, super reasonable. Overall, a great little place I will recommend to anyone looking for brunch in Scarbs. We need more places like this in the East end.
Ok I'm impressed with this breakfast diner. Interior decor is standard diner style but the customer satisfaction posters are interesting reminders for good services. The food is good and the friendly prompt service is fabulous . Eggs are cooked very well. Soft scrambled eggs are actually not overcooked. The sausages and bacon are great tasting and not oily. Loved their pancakes which are fluffy and yummy. I could eat a whole stack of them without trouble. Good diner coffee . The portions are huge and the early morning special is worth it. You don't leave hungry. . Will come back to try their lunch menu... read more

They have pancakes the size of my boyfriend's head, which is pretty awesome for pancake lovers. Their breakfast portions are great for the price and completely satisfies any breakfast cravings. Highly recommended! :) read more

First timer at The Gingerman but won't be my last! I can eat breakfast for morning, lunch & dinner... The simple combination of eggs over easy, pork sausages, home fries & toast just can't be beat and this hidden gem does it justice! Generous portions and everything cooked to perfection! The only thing better than the food was the friendly service. I didn't get the server's name but she was fantastic. I order my food to go and while waiting she offered even me a paper to read.. That has never happened to me before! The place is small, clean and cosy. I will definitely be back and suggest you give this place a try even if you're not in the immediate area. Don't let the slightly dated run down strip mall scare you off! PS. I ate my breakfast before I thought to take a photo... But my friend has the Filet of sole special and said it was decent. The fish came with soup and rice pudding, it was one of the specials of the day. read more

This is an awesome greasy spoon diner. It has a family-run feel, with excellent service, with welcoming environment. I had their breakfast with peameal bacon, which was DELICIOUS! Their home fries are well seasoned, made with good soft potatoes, and not fried! I also had some french toast, which was decent, but it could have used some cinnamon and brown sugar. I would definitely go back for some all-day breakfast! read more

Earlier today my bestfriend and I tried this place for the first time. We live in the area and for some reason we never knew of this restaurant. From the outside and the surrounding area, you wouldn't think that there's actually a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. The signage was very simple with the word "restaurant" clearly visible and "ginger man" that is so little under it. Coming in, the restaurant is clean and well lit. I ordered their ginger man sampler from their all day breakfast menu, which consists of ham, bacon, sausage, three eggs and pancakes instead of French toast. Before tax it was 11.5, and I think that for the taste of the food and the quantity, the price is pretty cheap. My bestfriend and I really enjoyed our brunch and will definitely recommend and come back again. read more
