the person in charge should be teaching some respect to the asian waitresaid argument by phone wasn't enough to make it on public as well

First time coming to this adorable breakfast joint and my husband knocked over a tray of hot coffee within our waitresses hands, spilling all over her. With that said, our waitress and the other staff were still so very welcoming and friendly afterwards, which helped with our embarrassment. Food was AMAZING; My husband had the steak benny and the plate was bigger than his head. The pancakes are extremely large and oh so good. I would highly recommend trying this breakfast joint for your next breakfast outing, I know we will :) read more

Sunnyside Grill is my classic neighbourhood breakfast joint. It's reliable, it's fast, and it always hits the spot. I generally come really early during the weekday, as that gets you the most attentive service (owner comes out to chat with you, etc.) but it tends to get really busy on weekends. As a pro-tip, you can sub your home fries for fresh sliced tomatoes at no cost. All in all, great neighbourhood joint :) read more

Sunnyside Grill - Eggs florentine (with tomatoes instead of home fries) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We really enjoy this breakfast restaurant in the west end of the city. Came here a few times and brought other immediate families here who all enjoyed their breakfast thoroughly. The service is very warm and friendly which you really appreciate first thing in the morning. We usually sit right by the entrance adjacent to the large patio door windows. There is a very good selection for everybody, traditional breakfast, omelettes, salads, sandwiches, pancakes, cereal. The best is their sausages, I went through a period of sausage craving during my pregnancy and this was the only breakfast joint where the sausage flavour hit the spot and brought back lots of childhood memories. The bacon is always cooked to perfection (as per my hubby) and the portions are generous. Our only thing is that the place gets quite smoky from the cooking and sometimes they got to open their patio doors a little to let some of the smoke out. It's happened during the middle of winter but lucky it was a mild winter so despite the cold it wasn't too bad. The waitress was very attentive and asked a few times if we were alright sitting right next to the cold and we appreciated her attentiveness in looking after us. read more

This place lives somewhere in between diner dive and fancy brunch spot, which for me is not the sweet spot. I much prefer it cheap and cheerful or gastro-fabulous, but these breakfast spots definitely have their place in society, and we were hungry. Three of us went for breakfast, and got the traditional breakfast combos: two meats, two eggs, toast and potato things, waffles and coffee and one fresh OJ and it came to a little over $40. Too steep for what it was, but still pretty tasty. Lovely waitstaff, exposed brick and some breakfast. This place is probably a lot of peoples' jam... and peanut butter. They have peanut butter in individual packets on the tables. Cool. read more

Sunnyside Grill - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

A super pleasant place for a delicious breakfast. The Hubster and I came here Sunday at 1pm (peak time for the partier set) and were pleased to find no line up, no pretension and a tasty tasty breakfast at decent prices. I'm not kidding when I say this place is pleasant. It's cozy, clean and yes.. sunny. The service is very friendly and their orange juice is fresh-squeezed. It's also quiet, which is great for those who may have overdone it the night before. A standard breakfast (2 eggs, bacon/sausage/ham, toast, homefries) is about $9. Their home fries are crispy on the outside, soft and nicely spiced. Despite Boom being down the street, this is going to be our go-to breakfast spot in the neighbourhood. It's just as good without the high prices and the lineup. read more

On a cold and early morning what a welcome place this is with the wall of cereal and friendly service. All the place is super clean. My wife and I had omelettes and were happy and ready for our day! read more

My favourite breakfast restaurant in Toronto. Try the Northern Omelet, you won't be disappointed.

This is my favorite breakfast place!! Best in Toronto. Great fir parking and good prices and friendly service. Family owned.

well, when the server handed me a menu and went to get a coffee a bug crawled out of it. i was in shock and sat there, the coffee came... i took a bitter sip and reconsidered i just got up and walked away. normaly i would at least pay for coffee but... bugs in a menu? no food there, so imagine what's crawled over your actual food there! this was a bad morning. Nov/2022 won't return read more

Sunnyside Grill - I love the place, the waiters are friendly - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Sunnyside grill is sort of american diner sort of a place and a great place to go for brunch or for a quick bite. nothing fancy about it but it is good food at good prices. They have sort of egg with cheese and bacon in a english muffin thing + side of hush browns for $5.99. I had one of these and I loved it. My son had kids meal pancakes and they were great too. so yes, check it out for easy, reasonably priced brunch or diner sort of food. it's fair to say you gonna get good bang for your buck. read more

If I could give this place no stars I would! I went to the location in Mississauga. The outside looks old and run down. The food was so terrible. It was gross. They didn't have proper cups for kids. Not to mention the service. Awful, terrible, disgusting. Do not waste your money and go there. read more

Decent breakfasty food. Decent eggs, toast and bacon.

I've been living in this neighborhood all my life and this was the first time I stepped into Sunnyside; from start to finish I felt it was a great experience. The staff are very sociable and friendly, the food arrived in a very timely manner, so kudos to the back of the house staff, the portion would be more than enough to hold down a hungry fella. I'll be sure to make myself a regular here. read more

Sunnyside Grill - The traditional, although in hindsight I wished I ordered the Super Sunnyside. All good though. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

3.5 stars. Fast basic breakfast. Good value. Very kid-friendly and cozy. $4.99 early bird special from 7-10am. Staff very attentive and friendly. Had the "Light & Lively" bfast from the "healthy" menu. 1 egg, toasted bagel or english muffin & cup of yogurt with fruit. The egg (easy over) was PERFECT and english muffin was toasted perfectly as well (crisp all around yet soft and chewy in the middle). Yogurt & fruit was surprisingly disappointing. Tasted like artificially sweetened fruity yogurt with too-sweet fruit in syrup ladled into it. Did not eat. Hubby had the french toast. Light and tasty but served with fake syrup (not real maple syrup). Despite the yogurt and fake syrup would definitely go back again for a quick cheap early morning bfast. read more

I try to come a few times a month for a great breakfast. We don't have many in the area that serve it all day. There are great mixes of eggs/bacon/pancakes...so you can eat small or large...I usually get the super breakfast and it's just enough food. My only criticism would be the potatoes...if they had spices on them or would be better. Service is amazing for a busy place. I have never seen any of the workers in A bad mood. If you go in the morning you might have to wait 10-20 mins for a table but it's worth it. I like to go after 12pm and never usually wait read more

There's an early bird special if you go before 930 (if I remember correctly) which gives you a handsome discount on the traditional breakfast (2 eggs, toast, potatoes, choice of bacon or sausage etc) The server was friendly and attentive and was always available to top up my coffee. If you want to reduce your carb intake they will replace your potatoes with tomatoes which go well with the meal. read more

Two of us went for a late brunch and were not disappointed. Service was prompt; waitress was courteous. She brought rye toast instead of wholewheat but I kept it anyway; she offered to replace it. A cook/chef came from the back to apologize to the guests at the table next to us who were waiting about 15mins; the staff had somehow lost the slip with their original order. I thought that was very good; usually the wait staff are the ones to do that kinda dirty work. I'll certainly go back another day. read more

This was our first visit to this restaurant and we will not go back. We did feel sorry for the server who was serving the entire place and her service was adequate given what she had to do. One order was missing the sausages that were supposed to be there. The other order was supposed to have swiss cheese not cheddar on the sandwich which was a very disappointing Monte Cristo. (Very little egg in the French toast). All the home fries were undercooked, tasteless and too cold to enjoy. The portion was large though but we left most of them on the plate. Owner...you need to get more staff in the kitchen and serving. The place was busy for a weekday but they may not come back. read more

I used to come to this restaurant about two years ago. I loved them! Fresh food, friendly service, excellent coffee. I went there today and was not impressed. We waited about five minutes for a table, which we were fine with. They cleaned it quickly and we sat down. However, I noticed ants crawling on the corner of my table. They were babies, so this isn't a serious problem in the restaurant, yet. I couldn't get the attention of the waiter to get the table cleaned, so I killed then with a sugar packet and let it be. We ordered coffee, which came quickly. Our cups were dirty, with clear stains on the sides. We waited about ten minutes for refills, which I find is normal. We placed our order. The food came quickly, and was okay. I came with my sister and my friend. My friend chose to create his own meal, which came on separate plates. My sisters eggs were over cooked. My food was okay. It was not very presentable, but was delicious. All in all, it was an okay experience, but I've had better at other restaurants. If I had the choice, I would go to any of the over breakfast places on St. Clair. read more

Had breakfast here for the first time today. Nice little restaurant. Prices are reasonable, food was fantastic! Everything we ordered was perfect (even the bacon that I requested to be well done). Very friendly staff. We will definitely go back here again! read more

Sunnyside Grill - Traditional Breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Completely mediocre. I was there on a Saturday at 12:30, it was fairly busy but we got a table right away. My major complaint with this place is the food is bland, under seasoned and just blah. I had the eggs Benny, English muffin was barely toasted so it became soggy. I requested soft poached, one was perfect and one was quite under, with a lot of the whites barely cooked. Hollandaise was ok, nothing exciting but not terrible. The potatoes were again just ok, but needed salt desperately. It looked like they had been cooked awhile ago, at some point they were crispy, but by the time the had got to me, they were steamed and soft. My son had scrambled eggs and sausage, the eggs were rubbery and the sausage had the same issue as the potatoes, crispy in another life, but soggy in this one. If you're in the neighbourhood and you want a proper breakfast, just go to Emma's! read more

Great food. Great price. Was suspicious of reviews. Typical greasy spoon. Low in innovation. High on taste. Had the breakfast grilled cheese. Added mayo for moisture and swapped for scrambled. No problem with modifying. Great non-formal service. read more

Excellent and friendly service! Nice clean restaurant, including the washrooms. Tasty, freshly squeezed orange juice and a delicious breakfast menu. Home fried potatoes were VERY tasty and eggs were perfectly done! Whenever I have sausages with breakfast, I want them to taste EXACTLY like the sausages at Sunnyside Grill. There are other breakfast and brunch options within walking distance on St. Clair, but this is the one we'll be going back to again and again. read more

Standard breakfast fare. Friendly service. Good portions. Daily specials on black board are a nice option if you are not the mood for eggs. Busy on weekends after noon. Fresh squeezed juice was delicious. We have never had a bad experience. Family friendly. read more

The food was very good! It wasn't extremely to die for I'm moving to Canada for this restaurant, but it was very good! The owner and waitress were really nice. They are very child friendly and I love their healthy options menu. Overall, 10/10 would recommend. read more

Does a reasonable job in terms of predictable diner food, but not earth shattering. Significantly better than Boom which is down the road and also offers a similar selection. read more

Everything you look for in a great breakfast joint. Food is great, prices are too, and the staff are usually wonderful.

I dine here 1 or 2 times a week. I enjoy getting there for the early bird breakfast on weekdays. Traditional breakfast. Service is friendly and knowledgable. I have requested items not on the menu and they are accommodating (within reason). The coffee is hot and plentiful. As a vote of confidence I generally see 2 to 10 police enjoying breakfast. read more

My fiancé got the traditional breakfast and I got the Belgian waffle. Both meals were pretty good, but here is definitely room for improvement regarding the service. Our coffee cups were empty for a good 20 minutes. To be fair, it was busy. All things being equal, it's not a bad spot to grab a bite, but there are at least 3 better spots in the area. read more

My family was in town this weekend and wanted to go out for breakfast around 9 on Sunday morning. This is earlier than I would normally be up, but since my parents are early risers, I wasn't going to argue. After my Mom looked at the menus of a couple of places that had generally positive reviews (she's allergic to milk, so we like to make sure she has plenty of choices before going somewhere, more on that later), we settled on Sunnyside. Our group of six was seated immediately upon entry, presumably due to the fact that it was still so early. It definitely got busier as time went on, although by the time we left (around 10:30), there were still some empty tables. The service was fast and friendly, and our coffee cups never sat empty for long. The food itself was delicious, and the portions were substantial - great value for the price! I ordered an omelette and I felt satisfied upon finishing it, a good sign considering my voracious appetite. When my Mom notified our server about her allergy, she was told that they usually cook with some type of oil/grease that contains dairy (I can't remember the name of it), but the server indicated they'd have no trouble accommodating her restriction. When our food arrived, my Mom noticed that her meal wasn't as hot as she would've liked, presumably due to the fact that the cooks prepared her plate in advance of the rest of us. I also noticed that other people, who were seated and ordered after us, received their food before we did. I'm not sure if this is considered a faux pas, but when I worked in a restaurant, we made absolutely sure to avoid doing this. If it weren't for these two minor complaints (and moreso the first one), I might have given the place 5 stars, and if I could, I'd probably rate it 4.5 rather than 4. I could definitely see myself returning, and won't hesitate to recommend this spot to anyone else! read more

Stopped in on a weekday while in Toronto just for a quick lunch. Sunny Side is just a good no frills place that serves good simple meals. I had a Greek salad with chicken because I was craving something fresh. Salad was crisp and the chicken was perfectly cooked and served warm. I have to give them props for not over cooking a simple chicken breast which so many restaurants do. I wish the Greek salad came with some pita bread or something- I mean I am trying to eat healthy but I need a little more than a plate of lettuce with chicken. I also think they should add a small side of tzatziki sauce to keep with the Greek theme and add some pop of flavor to the dish. However, I would come back here for breakfast or lunch anytime. My waitress was very friendly and the service was quick. They also have a wall of cereal which I assume you can choose from if you just want a childhood favorite. Not much to complain about here, just add a little more to my salad and I would give it 5 stars. read more

We came in for breakfast. Three of us got omelettes and Jessy got a benedict. They were all good, standard diner fare, generous portions. We also got excellent service, but that might be because the place was so empty. :) read more

Great and friendly service by all. Nice, clean and relaxed environment. Lots of yummy food with each serving. Will come back for sure!
