A solid community diner. A friend sold me on this place with two words - "big portions". We had just completed a trail race at the Kortright Conservation Centre and were ready for a big meal. The diner has a retro vibe all throughout the restaurant, with old street signs and posters hanging on the walls. Waiter service is provided, but it looked like there was a menu up front for ordering takeout as well. I ended up ordering steak and eggs ($12) from their "Totally Not-Vegetarian" menu. This came with a 7oz striploin steak, 3 eggs, home fries, and a couple slices of fruit. Home fries were very good, nicely seasoned and crisp. Their eggs were a soild over-medium and the steak was cooked to a decent medium-rare. Service was decent enough. This is by no means a place you travel to visit, but if you're in the area, its got great breakfast food at reasonable prices. There's always a place for a solid community diner. read more

I give this place 5 stars because it's a great place for a plain old breakfast. It's not a hipster hangout, it's a just a place to get loads of eggs, bacon, home fries all at a decent price with good service and fun décor. The early bird special weekday mornings is 3 eggs, bacon, a ton of home fries, all for $4.99 We went on a Saturday morning, so the same thing was $6.99, still a decent price for the amount of food. The décor is kind of 50' s diner , with old time metal signs on the walls, and vinyl backed booths. If you are looking for a cheap fast friendly breakfast, then this is the place for you. If, on the other hand, you want you want trendy, style over substance, go someplace else. read more

Location: 2104 Highway 7 W Price: $$ Service: Super This is honestly my favourite breakfast diner in my area. The service is great and the servers are super friendly. It is a smaller diner and definitely a gem in the area. The food is good and I LOVE their homefries! The portions are decent and they have an early bird special from 6am-11am ($5.99 if I remember correctly). Their prices are reasonable and I would like to come back for their sandwiches or burgers. Verdict: Go for brunch read more

The place looks like an ordinary restaurant from the outside and it didn't seem like it had something to offer. But when my boyfriend and I walked it and ordered breakfast food, it turned out to be a fantastic experience. It's similar to Cora's but a lot less health conscious. Everything here is breakfast heaven. I really liked their pancakes. It was so delicious and made just right. I am very particular with my name pancakes and it has to always be done right for me to appreciate then. These pancakes were great and not too oily. My plate also came with bacon and eggs which is always a great combination. The price is fairly decent. You get a good sized portion for what you pay and it really fills you up. They also have specials for early birds so if you come early enough, you get a really cheap breakfast. Overall, great breakfast diner. read more

Discovered this place as our usual haunt was packed...so we drove around aimlessly for 30 days and 30 nights until the skies parted and a ray of light shone down on this restaurant..... Not quite, but the food is heavenly (insert groan here). We did find this place completely by accident but apparently it's been on others radars for years (as the place is always hopping). Every time we've gone back in the last year, there's either a line up at the door, or the place is full and you have to wait for stragglers to leave. The decor is very similar to The Galaxy or Wimpy's but it certainly doesn't detract from the food. Great clubhouse sandwiches, tasty eggs Benedict, fantastic breakfast platters (eggs, toast, meat, home fries, fruit), pancakes, french toast, etc, etc. It's breakfast folks...it's difficult to really screw it up. They have dinner specials posted but I've never gone back to try.....don't know why...probably because I think of this place for breakfast only. I usually order egg whites only. Most places charge a ridiculous fee for this request (one place adds $2.50 for this), but not here. And they're not chintzy with their eggs. Staff are amazing..friendly, efficient, approachable, and they know why you're there. Of the numerous times I've been here I have NEVER had a bad server, or a surly one. Sunday mornings they have live entertainment. Who does that anymore? It's worth taking the drive to Kotsy's. read more

Instant new family favourite! Taste, quality, PORTIONS, service, *and* prices, are all out of kinder, gentler, olden times. Really took me back. read more

Great 50's diner atmosphere and yummy food! Their breakfasts are so affordable and tasty. I come here often and almost each time I decided to try something new I was not disappointed. With the exception of their chicken Slovaki. I ordered that twice and was not impressed. The chicken was overly salty and it was clear that they just took some chicken breast and tossed seasoning salt on it. It was not marinated in traditional Greek spices so it did not taste like slovaki . I just avoid that dish and order the others. Service is always great and fast. The servers are friendly. It is worth the trip to Kotsys! read more

It doesn't matter where you are - any brunch place (Sunday) is going to be packed. We went into the Vaughan area to pick up a friend and decided to eat there. We didn't necessarily want a Cora's so Kotsys popped up. It is located in a very unassuming plaza, but all the cars parked were a sign that we would have to line up. Anddddd yup, the line extended all the way out the door. I really like the theme of Kotsys; 1950's Diner feel with the signature black and white checkered motif, and juke boxes and hello Grease! Coffee is horrible. I would rather go to Tim Hortons, but the food is LARGE! You really get your value here. The menu is your usual brunch items: eggs, pancakes, potatoes, etc...I came here hungry, and left super, super full (didn't even need to eat dinner). Its definitely a local brunch place, but not worth the drive out if you live far. read more

First time here. I did not notice there was even a breakfast place in the area as I drive by all time. Service was prompt and staff were friendly. Decor was amazing. Lots of old school stuff. Brought back memories. I asked for soft scrambled eggs and it was done just right. Would definately be back to try other breakfast items. read more

Absolutely delicious. Wanted to try a new breakfast place, based on Yelp reviews we chose Kotsy's. We were definitely impressed. Incredibly fast service, the waitress was kind and on point. Just as I said to my fiancé it would be nice to get a refill on coffee, she was there with a pot. Best home fries ever! Will come again. Thank you to fellow yelpers for reviewing this place! read more

My friend and I walked into kotsy's on a weekday closer to their closing time and being the only guests there, we got immediate service. Once we got seated, we took in the atmosphere, appreciating the little diner knick knacks, the murals, and the furniture that gave off that whole kitschy vibe. As for food, it was on point! I got the hot shaka substituted with egg whites with a side of home fries and white toast. My friend got their huge breakfast combos that come with 3 eggs, sausage, bacon, toast, home fries, and chocolate pancakes! The hot shaka omelette was loaded with banana peppers and I added a drizzle of franks red hot sauce, which made for the perfect omelette for all those spicy food lovers! I sampled some of the pancakes and my god, were they good! Light and fluffy pancakes with the choco chips just melting in your mouth, and the options of butter and syrup were provided on the side. We got all this food for a good value so its definitely worth a visit when you're near the area, although its not the most bus accessible location. Definitely going to return and sample their french toast! Til then! read more

Food is really good here! Kept me full all day long. The value is really good too. When we walked in it was surprisingly busy but we were seated reasonably quickly considering the crowd. I also had no idea this place even existed, a friend recommended we try it and it was pretty good. I was also pleased that I was allowed to bring in my Starbucks, and they even gave me a mug for it which I was relieved by. I got one if their simple breakfast options: eggs, potatoes, and breakfast sausages with toast and jam. The food came quickly but wasn't all brought at the same time which makes me always question the professionalism of the place. It's not fun to sit and wait for your food while everyone else has theirs. Some things came quickly and others came excessively slowly which was frustrating, and we lost track of our server several times and it was hard to get her attention. Overall, the place is pretty good and a good value and I do believe I'll be back some time but there are some things that can be improved. read more

Another mere average breakfast diner. Carbon copy of Wimpey's decour yet sub par cuisine. Asked about the eggs Benny sauce which is always crucial to its success. Was told it wasn't made on premises but was good none the less. To my suspicion it was horrible. The taste was awful and had this cheap glaze look to the hollandais sauce. Ended up getting a bacon cheese tomato omelette instead which was decent. My gf ate her eggs Benny but later complained to me that her stomach was woozy. Needless to say not going back. For those seeking a solid breakfast joint in 905 Try Boom it's delish read more

Kotsy's is a great little breakfast/diner place in a nondescript strip mall. They are great at what they do ... breakfast. They don't do "brunch" but if you are looking for standard eggs/bacon/pancakes etc, decent coffee, friendly and quick service, this is the place. Decor is '50s diner with old style booths, posters and checkerboard linoleum tiled floors. They have early bird as well as daily specials. Prices are reasonable for what you get. read more

This place is just a straight up greasy spoon breakfast joint. The pancakes were meh. But if you wanna fill up on a bunch of eggs sausage and the like, then go for it! read more

Starting with Amazing breakfast. Didn't have to wait in line to get a table. Ordered the breakfast poutine with coffee. Coffee isn't good or bad. Just regular. Unlimited refills. Breakfast poutine is definitely unique. The gravy was thick and flavourful. The sausage was a great add in. Has a diner atmosphere. Definitely would come back if I'm in the neighbourhood. read more

Kotsy's Restaurant - Breakfest poutine. Homemade potato with eggs sausage and gravy. Amazing gravy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

Good service. Below average quality food. Had the steak and eggs. The steak was like a piece of shoe. Everything else was ok though.

Breakfast was tasty, portion was huge, service was fast but for some reason the restaurant was really hot inside. I mean really hot, like they had not turned on their a/c. When we said this to our server she just agreed with us, nothing else was said. Will definitely go back on a cooler day, in case, it was just a one off type situation. read more

Stopped here on my way out of Toronto while heading towards Canada's Wonderland. Definitely, plenty of food for the price. Friendly wait staff and just a great feeling of a local community diner. read more

Came here for a late breakfast with my sig other. I love the atmosphere, they have those sparkly diner booths that look kinda like the interior of an old Cadillac. The staff was very friendly and personable. I ordered the Belgian waffle which was initially cheap but once I added on fresh fruit (bananas, bluebs and strawbs) and whipped cream with a side of bacon (god I love bacon) it came to around 13$. My sig other ordered the three egg deal with toast, homefries and 4 slices of bacon. He really liked that it came with 4 slices and said that he enjoyed the homefries. The eggs were well cooked. We split a side of onion rings and those definitely took the cake. They were so good, not too salty and perfectly battered. My bf said they could have been the best he's had ever had. My waffle was good, nothing spesh, I probably wouldn't order it again. Overall I was impressed with this place, would return. The only issue I had was that the food came out separately over around a 10 minute period. First the onion rings, then the complete egg breakfast, followed later by my side of bacon, and finally my waffle arrived. Other than that everything was enjoyable. read more

Delicious. Fast. 50's diner style. Curtious service. I wouldn't go here out of my way, but if I'm in the area I'll be back. read more

Very loud left with pounding headache peewee hockey team sat beside us screaming heads off

Great place, hidden little gem. Will go back again! Good service and good eats. Friendly staff st your disposal.

Let me start by saying there is nothing I enjoy better than finding good breakfast spots. Kotsy's is the epitome of old school diner with it's decor and vibe. For the last half a year I have been questing to find great Peameal and egg sandwiches and Kotsy's has definitely hit the top of my charts. Loaded with meat and cheese on an absolutely beautiful Kaiser it melted in my mouth. Bennie's are what they are known for so that in itself may be worth your time. Prices are good, food was excellent. I'll will definitely be back. read more

It is a quirky diner that serves breakfast. I wasn't expecting much when we went in. We ordered burgers with salad. The salad was great and burgers were home made and had a really nice flavor. The waitress was friendly and very patient. read more

I'll keep this short and sweet. I found Kotsy's thanks to Yelp. This place is a great value. I can't believe I hadn't found it sooner. I got the Big Breakfast for $9 and was not disappointed. Within 5 minutes of ordering, the food arrived. I mistakenly thought I had to choose the sides I wanted. Instead, I received ham, sausages, *and* bacon with the three (scrambled, for me) eggs, breakfast potatoes, toast, fruit, and two large, fluffy pancakes! I've been to other places where I've paid far more and received far less. If you're in the area and in the mood for breakfast, look no further. read more

No frills diner style breakfast includes a kids menu at $5.99 and the big breakfast (3 eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, home fries, toast and 2 buttermilk pancakes) for $9.99. If you are looking for value and quality this is the place. The décor seems like a converted Wimpy's diner and is not posh but definitely suits the environment. This would be one of those hidden gems worth checking out and deciding for yourself. read more

Quick breakfast and friendly service. As soon as I walked in, I was addressed and helped in ordering (my first time there ever) and about 5 mins after I sat down to wait, my food was ready to go. The portion is big, for a great price, and tastyyyyyyy. I had 2 dishes - pancakes and a waffle, both were nice and buttery and fluffy. Would go here again. read more

Good price, friendliness and good food. I would come back for breakfast again!

Proper breakfast. Proper portion. Proper price. Extremely quick service. Delicious. Very happy to have gone here. It won't disappoint. I came here for the food, not the eye candy. There is a lot of that but they don't need it because they do a great job with the food. Price between $5-$9 for a heaping plate. Home fries are fantastic. Sausage is good. Pancakes are very nicely toasted. Coffee stinks, LOL, but a diner's coffee is supposed to stink so I didn't care. read more

I love this place!! Wicked early bird special (4.99 before 11) and Michelle is the best server!! :)

excellent chocolate pancakes, they are a reason to come back the server was very sweet with her calling everyone "honey" it was a nice retro diner feel, with sparkly booths with lovely cushioning you would not expect for this plaza to have a place for brekkie, i actually had to find it on yelp. definitely a hidden gem that everyone must try when they are close to the north end of toronto read more

I love this place. Every time I'm in town I have breakfast here. The food is great, staff is awesome, and there's always a ton of people. Highly recommend. read more

Excellent food, clean facility, pleasant staff, major props on the air system.... And again delicious chow! Great way to spend Father's Day brunch. For a twist, we ordered the eggs bene with a side of French toast. Word to the wise or adventurous... Give it a go! Just transfer the goods from the muffin to the toast and enjoyyyyy! We'll definitely be back read more

Pretty standard for a breakfast diner. The interior is decked out with old and /or fun signs, and the decor is what you expect a 50s diner to look like. The omelettes are huge and the home fries have a nice taste to them The owners are always on the floor refilling coffee and talking to customers read more

Typical diner style, reasonably priced and good quality. Service was fast and they weren't bothered by my noisy kids.

Meh.. Food is literally thrown at you and it's all mediocre. Found a couple hairs on the table and in the food and the place overall is pretty filthy.... But... You get to fill your fat face if your into that sort of thing. read more

Saturday afternoon and we order the Popular burger, a breakfast with 4 Huge strips of bacon, and a smoked salmon eggs Bene! All the food is absolutely delicious! This is a great little place with the nostalgic diner touch (colourful booths, colourful chairs and tables, and black and white chessboard floor tiles included). Btw, the home fries are a winner! read more

Interesting decor and very good food. Extensive breakfast and lunch options and the prices are reasonable.
