4.5/5! This place is a new favourite! A friend of mine recommended this and I'm so happy he did. I…read moredidn't have super high expectations but I was definitely not expecting how delicious the food is here. So far, I've tried the beef lunch, goat lunch, and goat shoulder lunch. All great and the meat is all fall off the bone tender. All the lunches come with a soup, salad, and your choice of spaghetti or rice. My fav here is definitely the goat dishes! I'm not usually the biggest fan of goat, but they really do it differently here. The goat shoulder tends to sell out pretty fast so definitely order this right away when you see it is available.

I've only tried it myself once, and honestly, it wasn't quite to my personal taste. But food is very subjective, and I'm clearly in the minority in my family! My kids both when they were teenagers and now as adults--have always loved it, and my nephew and niece are big fans as well. The portions were good from what I remember, and the restaurant always seems busy, which says a lot. Just because it wasn't my favorite doesn't mean it isn't doing something right. When so many young people keep coming back and ordering from the same place year after year, that's usually a sign that they're doing a good job. If you're into this style of food, there's a good chance you'll enjoy it as much as the younger generation in my family does!

The perk was ordering 10 mins ahead and they saved our order which got our food earlier, we were very hungry and appreciated the advance notice option. The ambiance is fun and buzzing with people. Must try!

For the four of us we ordered a Brisket plate with the rice dun up, the ribs with Mac and cheese & a sandwich lunch combo with fries and a pop. The bark on the brisket was sooo flavourful, it was juicy and still had some fat on it which kept it moist. The ribs were fantastic as well, we thought the rice was our favourite and the Mac and cheese was great too! Fries were tasty and crispy, honestly everything was fantastic. I wish it was priced a little lower but I've paid more for food that wasn't this good. Highly recommend, we can't wait to go back!

A couple Saturdays ago, I was running a few errands. Once I was done, I felt like visiting a diner for lunch. I did a search and found Poached Dreams Diner in Aurora. I didn't mind driving up from Markham to check it out. It was straightforward getting here. I parked in the parking lot and walked in from what looked like the back of the diner. There's also a front door with a patio that faces Wellington Street East. I was immediately greeted by a young, enthusiast woman. I let her know that I needed a table for one. She got me to a comfortable booth by the window. The catch is that you have to watch your step to get to your seat. It's a treat when I have breakfast out. I thought that I'd be getting french toast. Well, all that changed when I saw a heading for comfort foods on the menu. Nothing makes me happier than seeing open-faced sandwiches on a menu. It was probably during my days living in Winnipeg that I fell in love with such sandwiches and at least a side. New goal: come here and have every open-faced sandwich on the menu. I got cold water to start. It was refreshing and much needed after running errands. I ordered these items for my meal: - Diet Coke (2) - Hot turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and veggies My Diet Coke came with a glass with ice. I loved it. I wish the can was larger! I needed a second can for dessert. I loved my hot turkey sandwich. There was a generous amount of sliced turkey smothered in sauce over a slice of white bread. I got to choose my starch. I went with mashed potatoes. There was enough gravy over the turkey that I dunked my spoonfuls of mashed potatoes into it. I loved the steamed veggies. They were perfectly cooked. They also went into the gravy. The meal was delicious. I'd order it again. I felt like dessert. I asked if there was any. Baklava with pistachios. I said yes. I thought that it would be a square or rectangle. Nope. I got a roll. Cool! It was perfect. It had the right amount of honey. It was crispy and yummy. So good! I paid my bill at the table. I tipped and then tapped my credit card. I elected to have the receipt texted to my phone, which also signed me up for its points program. Yay! I learned that this diner has been open since June 2025. I'm always late to any party because I seem to live under a rock or in a cave. I'm glad that I visited this eatery. Great food. Great service. Great! I used the washroom before I left. The women's washroom was clean and had a full-length mirror. This eatery is huge. It looks like there's a cafe for those grabbing coffee and maybe a snack before leaving. I look forward to returning for more good eats and drinks. (148)

Everything was delicious and portions were perfect. Husband had a chicken pita and decided on tots for his side. I stole a few tots and they were delicious. Nice and crispy. Service was excellent. The place was a cute one-room area with a little bar in the back of the room and booths and tables throughout. The bar had a big screen TV which was showing a baseball game.

Last time I had the same & it was delicious! They missed the mushroom sauce all together & the schnitzel was burnt on one side!? This is one of the main components of this meal, the sauce! It's the "Jagar" in "Jagerschnitzel"! The veggies were undercooked & the potatoes were cold. Our server "Alyssa" was very nice but she totally dropped the ball for our table. Missed ingredients, cold potatoes. Not good. A server is supposed to be the last line of defence between the kitchen & a bad meal. This was a bad meal & our server didn't catch it. I have to say that I'll reconsider before I drive 70 Km'a return to go there again.

We ordered a cappuccino and a chaitini and one would safely assume that the drinks would arrive before the breakfast or on a worst case basis, along with the food We were half way through our avocado toast and eggs when we realized we may as well ask if our drinks order was forgotten Upon enquiring, we were told that the coffee machine had broken down! So why wait to tell us? We cancelled the Cappuccino and moments later the machine had miraculously come to life We reached Milestones an hour after they opened for business and apart from the two of us there was one other table that was occupied ... yet it took them 10 minutes to bring the mustard that I requested, to our table Now comes the kicker I've attached some images of their patio where we sat, since it was a gorgeous morning... but there was nothing else that was gorgeous about that patio Dead flowers Weeds in almost every crevice of the interlocking Remnants from the previous evening strewn all over the floor Not impressed at all These guys will shut down soon if that's not already part of their plan and that will be purely because the place now looks like no one there really gives a damn

At the Heartbreak Chef…read more.. We got the Big A** Chicken Sandwich Combo which is a 14$ + 6$ deal that comes with Cajun fries, dip included, and a can of Pop. The restaurant is bare bones, but has a nice bench seating that spans the length of the seating area, a garage door opening to the street, and a small bar area near the kitchen. There is local art on one side of the wall and graffiti style decor on the opposite wall and washroom (which you can pickup one of the provided pens and tagged it yourself). The cajun fries are soft potato wedges coated in chili flakes and paprika. It comes with what looks like the burger sauce as dip and is tangy and finger licking good. Eating at Heartbreak is a messy affair. The portions are great for the price, the chicken is hot and fresh, piled high with coleslaw and sweet pickles on a brioche bun. The owner seems to be the soul (pin intended) cook, served us, did cash, and took care of the guests. Overall, the chicken was crispy, lots of meat, will be back to try their mac and cheese. Great easy bite when visiting Kensington. P.S. if you like super surreal promo videos (their old location) hit up @theheartbreakchef on Insta
