    Egg Benedict
    Andy S.

    Food: Egg Benedict comes with a good variety of fruits and fried potatoes. Good portion and won't leave you hungry. Bottomless coffee is nice as I need a couple of those to wake me up Environment: Good size patio. Can sit around 10 tables of 4. They have tables setup at the side of the building as well. There is plenty of parking at the back. Fairly priced but service is a little slow as they have 2-3 servers for the whole patio.

    If we're doing the one word game and I can only use one word to describe Main's Mansion, I would choose sunny. Sunny interior, sunny disposition, sunny side up. Sunny all around. Made for an all around happy, sunny brunch that left us feeling brighter when we walked out the doors. Main's Mansion is a classic resto-pub in the body of a vintage house on old-school Main Street Markham. One of the only places to open beyond 9pm in Markham, I'm sure it's got its fair share of loyal night owls that come in for a pint. In the late morning, it opens its doors to the brunch population with a selection of favourites ranging from omelettes, to eggs benedict, to French toast. Of all the similar pub restaurants in the city, I feel like Main's Mansion's got a few distinctions. Firstly, it's got a lovely indoor patio for those days where you want to feel like you're outside without actually feeling like you're outside. Secondly, it's got some of the brightest, tastiest brunches I've had in recent memory. Flavourful french toast loaded with cinnamon, eggs cooked to perfection, and my personal winner, loads of fresh hand-cut fruit. We replaced home fries with regular fries and those were amazing too. Lastly, service wasn't just good, it was memorable. There was a mix-up between two of my family member's plates, resulting in us thinking a side of bacon was missed. Even though we fixed the mix-up and nothing was actually missed, our waitress still brought us an extra side of bacon. That, on top of frequently checking up on us for coffee refills, made her awesome in our eyes. Though this place might be old, it's definitely one of my new favourite brunch places. It's great to find these places that have been around forever but still exceed your expectations. (14/100) - 2019

    Egg New Orleans

    We didn't what to expect from this place because we were just taking a walk and saw that they had a patio so just decided to give it a try. They have about 8 tables at the front and about 7 tables at the back. We were sat at the back. The view was not very pleasant but we wanted to stay outside and enjoy the gorgeous weather. Portion of the food was big. The food was very tasty and when it says that it comes with tons of fruits, it's not a lie! We ordered the egg Benedict's with smoke salmon (Eggs New Orleans). It is poached eggs with salmon and caviar. The caviar was tasteless but the rest was delicious. Their home fries were delicious but I don't think it was made in the house. We also ordered the French connection - it came with French toasts which was just okay - and the farmers breakfast (classic breakfast, eggs with 2 choices of meat and fruits and toast and home fries). Service was okay, our server didn't check with us often and it took forever for him to bring our bill. Will definitely go back for some yummy brunch.

    Bacon and Eggs with Oddly white looking Sausage
    Stella F.

    Had the good fortune to sit and eat a meal with my teenaged daughter, who wanted to try a new place for breakfast. We thought Main's Mansion looked charming and loved the Yelp pics showing a plate full of fresh fruit along side the bacon/eggs. A+ for the service and atmosphere - it's quaint. F for the food though The watermelon had soured and tainted the taste of surrounding fruit. The sausages are short and fat, and have an unpleasant taste, as did the bacon. The fountain Coke was watery, and the apple juice tasted like mold. The server was kind enough to exchange the Coke for an apple juice, but didn't offer any apology for the soured fruit. It was obvious to the eye the melon had turned. Main's Mansion is old and has a damp odor inside, but it's very charming and I would go back to try something on the dinner menu this summer and enjoy their huge patio seating area. Not what we expected food-wise, but the charm and servers helped improve our time there.

    FOOD: 3.5/5 - it's one of the best brunch spots in Markham! I much prefer coming here than Cora's. The food and portion is better and larger. You get a huge selection and variety of seasonal fresh fruits on the brunch menu. Sometimes you'll even get the rare dragon fruit and star fruits! I've also tried their dinner at night. Decent quality but certainly not as memorable as their brunches. SERVICE: 1/5 - pretty much non-existent I'd say. Had to flag someone to give us menu, water and bill. I also helped myself grabbing my own seats. The servers are always too busy chatting with people at the bar. ENVIRONMENT: 3.5/5 - pub setting with an old charm, located in the heart of Markham Main Street. It has a few TVs inside for sports. They have an outdoor patio for people who like to enjoy the weather and a sunroom for those who want to stay in.

    Maybe I should have came here for Brunch instead for Late Night. Main's Mansion for sure was hopping with action on a Saturday Night. There were in fact 2 Live Bands in the house, one on the patio and one upstairs. It is great to see all these action up in Markham. But I guess I should have went somewhere else to catch the last period of NHL Playoff game. Main's Mansion turned to a club like vibe that night. The setup was a little awkward as people walking passed the main dining/bar area to go upstairs, to go out to the patio, to go in and out and everywhere. It was good for people watching but not for game watching. The only saving grace is they do have Hoegarden on tap so I don't need to be stuck drinking Canadian.. I might go back to Main's Mansion for their brunch but definitely not for a night cap. Just not my scene!

    Huge breakfast
    Patricia G.

    I have visited mains mansion a number of times for breakfast or brunch. That's what this review is going to talk about, the brunch. The inside is decorated like an Irish -ish pub. Hardwood floors, stain glass windows, bar, etc. You can definitely tell (and sometimes smell) that it is probably mostly a pub at night. Seating inside consists of low tables and chares or high tables with high seats, there may be a banquet but I have seen it. There's also a huge patio to sit at in the summer. Its never really been that busy when we've come, bit we tend to go a bit earlier. It's usually when we are ready to leave that's when it starts to fill in more. It's located on main Street Markham, not main Street unionville. There's some on street parking, and parking on the side, and back of the building. So basically no parking stress. Right on!! Don't try and bus it unless you like to walk, there's a bus that runs up the street but its pretty rare. So you have to walk up hill from highway 7 or downhill from 16th avenue. I'm pretty lazy so no walking :) I have only come with girlfriends for brunch usually before heading off to paint lounge or the farmers market. With one exception the brunch is great. I prefer coming here than going to Cora's. Cost seems to go from a yogurt parfait for 12.99 (its huge) to an eggs Benedict platter for 24.99. My favourites are the classic breakfasts. Three eggs, toast ( regular or French), and a platter of fruits. Yum!. The yogurt parfait is also huge. For sure shareable. Breakfast sandwiches are really great too. Only thing we didn't like, the waffle. It's the same price as the classic and sandwich breakfasts. You get one dense, bad tasting waffle, a blop of whipped cream, and a couple of pieces of fruit. Not the best. The one thing I had that I did not like. Service is spotty. It's never been what anyone would call good. Usually the wait staff is just standing around talking about the night before or what's up that night, or gossip about someone that works there. Usually you have to ask for coffee refills and bills. It seems like its because we are usually a table of women. We have noted that tables with men get more attention. I guess they are hedging their bets that flirting will get them bigger tips? All in all great place for breakfast, waffles excepted :)

    This place is definitely 4.5 stars! What a great place for brunch. Thanks to my friend for recommending this place. We came this morning around 10am and noticed everyone was seated in the patio area. I'm not usually a patio person but it wasn't very sunny or breezy so it was actually a perfect morning to eat outside. The staff was excellent serving us quickly with our drinks, taking our orders and refilling our coffee. The selections for brunch was amazing which included your traditional breakfast eggs and choice of ham, sausage or bacon, eggs benedict and waffles! We ordered a dish from each of these selections which were all delicious. We really liked how there were lots of fruits on each dish. We were extremely satisfied and full. We will definitely be back.

    Finally I came check out this place with my friends last Saturday. At the beginning I really didn't expect so much about the food, but right after the food on the table and I can tell that they're serving all yummy dishes and with great service too. The ambience of the restaurant is the most amazing part that brought me there, but now the food added so much credit to it, lol.....

    Great for brunch! I've been here a few times for brunch and have always had a positive experience. They have a great patio on the beautiful main street Markham. The selection is fairly comprehensive and the food comes in generous portions! I've had the various Eggs Benny's which are my favourite! Service is quick and friendly.

    Eggs Benny and Chocolate Chip pancakes
    Sneha S.

    I visited Main's Mansion on a Sunday morning for brunch, and honestly speaking, I had high high hopes for this place because not only had my friends raved about it but YELP had also raved about the huge portions and amazing food and fresh fruit etc etc. So knowing me, I checked the menu beforehand and was excited and ready to eat some amazing brunch. Sunday morning/afternoon arrives and we get to Main's Mansion. I step inside and right off the bat I knew something was up because it was completely empty. The restaurant had a weird odour and the furniture and decor looked dated. We sat down, ordered (it took a while, they didn't seem to be well staffed) and then waited for our food. The food arrived and it looked just like the pictures I saw on Yelp. Ton's of overflowing fruit and large portions. The pancakes I ordered were delicious and chocolatey and soft and fluffy. Unfortunately, the Eggs Benny were a disappointment. When I typically order Eggs Benny, I expect my eggs to be covered in hollandaise sauce but at Main's Mansion, there was barely a tablespoon of hollandaise on each egg. To top it off, one of the eggs still had a piece of shell in it.. that ruined my appetite for the rest of the meal.. and also my impression of Main's. The prices are decent for what you're getting. Perhaps one day I'll return if all my other brunch spots are closed.

    Very cute interior and exterior design, I like the concept of a mansion come restaurant. It was quite empty Sunday for brunch but hey that makes for a very attentive server so no complaints. The good -Awesome food! Seriously exceeded my expectations, the chef can cook alright! - Huge portions...yummy!! - Impressive brunch menu, more impressive than designated breakfast spots (ie. Cora's)and comes with a fruit salad. -Great prices! The bad - Service could be better, waitress was less and less attentive and engaged in a conversation with friends at the bar. - Could use some updating to make space more esthetically pleasing and spruce up a bit. Overall I will definitely be back, amazing food and I'd love to try the lunch and dinner menu. This may become my go to brunch spot in markham!

    I really didn't want to give a 1 star rating but this has probably been the worst place I have been to in awhile. From service to food to quality to cleanliness.. everything was horrible. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! First off, we made a reservation for 8 people on the Patio, when I arrived first with my husband, I had told the server our reservation name time and seat count. At the same time another group of 7 showed up shortly after me and also said they had reservations. The server disregarded me and told me to wait, and proceeded to help the group behind me. That alone had me questioning like... I was clearly first and she was about to help me up until the new party showed up and she put a pause to helping me. After she sat the new group she didn't bother coming back to the front to help me, instead another server asked if I had been help. I then told her my reservation but she claimed no reservation was made, but they had a table for us all the way in the back. So we proceeded to follow her to the back where we got seated, the tables were wobbly, DIRTY and some chairs were wet. The server who sat us noticed some chairs being wet but didn't even bother to wipe them or switch them out for us. The menus were also very sticky and disgusting. During times like covid, that was a huge no for us. I had my husband head to the car to grab some wipes and spray so that we could wipe the tables, chairs and menu on our own. Once the rest of our party arrived, the server took forever to greet us and offer us drinks. As we were in the very back of the restaurant, she probably had forgotten about us. After waiting around 30 minutes just for her to get our drink orders, we were already ready to order but she insisted she will be back to take our orders after our drinks. After we received our drinks which also took awhile, she came and took our orders. We had asked for coffee refills, cream & sugar to go with our coffee, condiments all of which took her forever to get. Every time the server stopped by we would remind her and she would say "oh the other girl didn't get for you?... I told her to" I understand using that excuse once but she used that same excuse over 5 times and failed to bring what we needed each time. The food was honestly nothing special... Basic breakfast food that I could just make at home for a lower cost. The pancakes was the biggest disappointment, as pancakes are fairly easy to make and as a restaurant that offers breakfast menu, you would think they would serve decent pancakes but nope.. these pancakes were extremely disgusting, by far the worst pancakes I have ever eaten. It was dry, crumbly and disgusting. Portion wise, it appeared big but once again, for the server and dining experience this was not worth it as most of these dishes are something simple that can be made at home for a much lower cost.

Later, I mentioned the experience during a karaoke chat somewhere else, and people who had been to Queen Victoria Pub spoke well of the jammy-oke setup.

I kind of wished more restaurants/ pubs vented their boxes so the fries did not get too soggy. I did find my order came with a generous portion of tartar sauce but they served white vinegar not malt. A bit of a faux pas here. I did find the wings a bit under done. I guess I prefer a bit of a crisp so I popped those in my air fryer for 5 minutes at 400 ° F. After that they made a tasty side.
