Went to ask for cream, waited another 8 minutes while the girl who said she would bring it stood at the counter appearing to be playing on her phone or otherwise. Food delivered to our group all except one meal, waited another 10 minutes plus for the last meal... and cutlery because although the diner was not fully seated, the cutlery was "in the dishwasher" while our food got cold and the kids ate with their hands. No refills on coffee were offered, no check in on the quality of our meals. Home fries despite being requested for them to be grilled with onions were deep fried with onion tossed on top. Attempted to charge me for a side of sausage when the kids meal comes with sausage. Was informed we had to leave (an hour and a half after being there) and waitress did not ask if we needed boxes, again I have to stress she did not check on us during consumption of our meal I had to go and ask for a box. Extreme anxiety filled experience. Definitely not an "old school diner" feel even though the decor and name says otherwise. Do better for others as we will not be back!

Literally all my favourite things: tater tots, sausages, bacon, hollandaise sauce, poached egg... what more can you ask for. It was my first time seeing tater tots used in a breakfast poutine and they were sooo good. Still crispy despite being under all the sauce. Just don't look at the bottom of the plate at the end where all the oil settles. Home fries were also crispy and flavourful, and the grilled cheese were so buttery. Honestly, I really enjoyed all the food I've had here, they do fried food real good. Pass on the coffee though if you can. Although it was bottomless it wasn't very good and very watery.  The decor is a little outdated, which is okay as it still has that old school diner charm. I think they would definitely benefit though from a good deep cleaning.   If you looking for a greasy spoon type diner, this is definitely a great place to go!

Stopped into Side Street Diner for breakfast today!…read more Located at Kercheval and St Clair in The Village, Side Street was a perfect stop after a long morning walk and quick stop at Trader Joe's. I enjoyed the breakfast burrito with home fries and it was the best fuel before a day of deep cleaning the garage! This was my first time stopping in, after been wanting to go for years! Food was scrumptious and service was top notch. Will be back very soon! The burrito itself was LARGE. Tasted even better heated up in the air fryer the next day. Very flavorful. Could easily share this with two people if you didn't want leftovers for the next day. The home fries paired perfectly with the burrito. Nice crunch, too. The little "love note" on my carry out made me smile!
