Fantastic place for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Scott, our waiter, was over the top outstanding. Menu selection is excellent and prices reasonable for being in Toronto. Definitely a place to come back to. read more

Standard Sunset Grill - good breakfast done cheap...but this location has no soul. It's a big, open place that caters to business people and tourists distinguished thusly - the business people were on their Blackberrys while the tourists were on their iPhones. Our waitress was friendly enough but a tad slow on the coffee. This is a safe bet if you're in the area craving a quick, standard breakfast, but if it's your first Sunset Grill, I'd recommend the one in the Beach. read more

As a caveat, this review is for the Queen St East location, near Kew Beach. At first it looked inviting, service was friendly and quick. However, the ventilation is not great and there is a haze of smoke that permeates everything. We ordered the spicy omelette and the spicy frittata, with the latter having only egg whites. Both arrived with very large chunks of tomatoes and jalepeno peppers which made the egg dishes wet and unappetizing. On the positive side, the portions were generous and the coffee was decent. read more

Passable place to grab a quick sit-down breakfast, but definitely nothing memorable. Then again, it's hard to screw up eggs, bacon, and potatoes, yet the potatoes managed to be a bit soggy and flavorless. Dining companion's omelet fared a bit better, but I'm not writing home about it anytime soon. They do a bustling business on weekends, yet turn people over very quickly. Service is prompt, if not a bit gruff (though that could be just our server), though coffee refills were hard to come by. Prices are reasonable, and even more so on weekdays with the specials they run. So if you come in not expecting much, you'll be cool. But having eaten at Eggspectation the next morning, I'd recommend walking a few extra blocks and heading up there instead. Also, not quite sure if it was just the December morning we were there, but it must have been 85 degrees in there. If there's anything worse than being hungry and hungover, it's being hungry, hungover and REALLY hot. read more

Mediocre food at relatively cheap prices. We ate: Spinach and swiss omelette, leathery and unevenly cooked. Waffles, soggy and overwhelmed by egginess. Home fries, crumbly with the burnt bits slipping off and the good bits hard to find. We paid: $16 before tip. Environment is roughly like a diner but without anything special going on. You could be at a rural truck stop or in the middle of NYC and nothing about the place would tell you where. If you need cheap breakfast cooked for you, drop by. Otherwise, cook your own or hit up another breakfast restaurant. read more

Ah, the omnipresent all-day-breakfast diner. What better place to come here after getting out of bed at 1 pm on a Sunday? I've always had a weakness for eggs florentine and the version at Sunset is what you should expect at a greasy spoon. Mmmm, the rich yolk as it soaks into my English muffins. And you know it ain't good for you, but the Hollandaise here must be the saltiest and the oiliest I've ever had; it practically sticks to your arteries. And the homefries, the homefries. Salty, cripsy, white starch. I do love you despite what good nutrition says. You are small, bite-sized and cooked perfectly so that they crumble lightly in the mouth. Definitely a secret guilty pleasure. read more

Every so often you come across a place that tickles your taste buds, delights your senses and fills your tummy tum tum with delicious goodness. Unfortunately this morning at Sunset Grill was not one of those time. I'll begin by saying if there is anything a dislike more than a poorly cooked meal, it'c complaining about it (or writing a review about it). In my opinion every kitchen makes a mistake from time to time, however when that happens its up to the front of house staff to make amends for it, and when they don't own up "it really grinds my gears". I want to say that this review is not a reflection on all Sunset Grills, just this location. I've had many a great breakfast and service at other locations however this one needs to get back to the quality standards that their many other locations adhere to. Attending breakfast with a friend this morning we were both dismayed at the quality of our respective meals. Order#1: Bacon and 3 eggs Problem: Bacon cooked to a charred imperfection, over-easy eggs were too over and not so easy (to swallow) and possibly the worst was the hash brown potatoes - burnt on the outside and cold and mushy (still frozen) on the inside ----YUMMMYYY (NOT!) Order#2: Corned Beef Hash and 3 eggs Problem: Corned Beef was a lovely paste consistency, not freshly cooked at all, similar to a toothpaste (gags once), eggs same as above (gags twice), potatoes ...... well you get the picture. As I mentioned above I am not a complainer, and I hate to slow down a busy restaurant by returning food or sending items back. Instead I decided to mention our poor experience to the manager and cashier while I was paying, not in an effort to receive gratis food but to make them aware so that they could adjust their quality standards for other restaurant patrons. The reaction I received is what bothered me. The cashier starred at me blankly and asked what I would like for her to do about it while the manager looked at me and went back to his notepad without saying a thing. Not even a thank you? Come on guys - Bad News Business Bears. My recco, give this location a TV time out for a little while, maybe check back with them in about 6 months or so (that's my plan). I'm all about second chances. read more

Staff is always friendly, food is always delivered quick, clean, and tasty. Far superior than any other place that carries the name. I am always getting an amazing experience whenever I got in there, which is why I am a regular. read more

Just had a late breakfast here and everything was amazing!! The service was quick, the food was hot and taste delicious!! We both ordered the turkey bacon with three eggs and home fries. We also had a bagel and blueberry pancakes. Needless to say we left full! Every single item was cooked perfectly and I would definitely recommend coming to check them out! The prices here are also on the low side for the city. We paid $45 CA for 2 big orders. Check them out while in Toronto!! read more

Sunset Grill - Diners Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I hate choosing at breakfast so I like getting the "everything" breakfast that includes pancakes or french toast with bacon and eggs when I go out. Today I chose the Sunset Super. The pancakes were great... they were large and fluffy as advertised! It also came with 4 strips of reasonably thick bacon. It was nice that they didn't chince out with only 2 strips of thin stuff. The one real knock was the "home fries" which were potatoes.. but were so pale they didn't look fried at all. In fact, after seeing it on a dish being delivered to a different table, my friend decided to go with the chicken caeser salad instead of getting something with home fries. How much I paid - $9.50 plus tax and tip (no beverage) Good for - someone looking for a reasonably priced greasy spoon. Will I go back? Ya there's nothing to suggest that I wouldn't go back... but I wouldn't go out of my way to go there. read more

Sunset Grill - Home Fries at Sunset Grill.. not my favourite style... - Diners Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This specific location was not that great in my opinion. Of all days that I wanted to try a new place for brunch this is not a great day for me. I really was hankering for some eggs benny for a while. And to my surprise this specific Sunset Grill isn`t the place to get it. I'm used to my eggs benedict with poached eggs. They served them with sunny side up? I was confused. Maybe it was my hopeful/wishful thinking and didn't read the description to the Eggs Sunset properly but I was pretty disappointed to receive it. On top of that I felt rushed. Busers just took plates on hand after they asked us if we were done... Of course being rushed didn't get our bill for 20 minutes... yeah. I don't get it. Less to say I'm not going to this specific Sunset Grill ever. I'll stick to what I already know down town even if I have to walk an extra 10 blocks. read more

Service ranges from exasperating to stellar at this location. It just depends on whom you get. Most of the regular servers are in the "stellar" range...attentive, but never intrusive and genuinely friendly. The omelettes are loaded and tasty. The pancakes are huge in size, but light. I like the bacon, but my friend does not. I like my bacon crisp and not fatty...he prefers it more on the greasy side. The eggs are a smaller size, but I like them that way. The homefries are made from scratch. Usually, they are delicious, but if they are too busy, they tend not to allow the potatoes enough time to form that golden crustiness that I love in homefries. This is a solid, reliable place to get your breakfast food fix downtown. read more

The food is delicious, the service is good, and the environment is good. The only way to add the national maple sugar is to add money. Unfortunately, the special coffee is really light and not good. read more

I'm giving this place 4 stars. I don't care about the other 2 people that gave it 3 stars. I was walking around downtown Toronto Labor Day morning in search of a cafe with wifi. Sadly, this proved to be difficult, as the city seemed dead. I was still hopeful, but then pangs of hunger started to affect my vision. I was clawing at the sides of the buildings with the cafes that were closed. I happened to turn my head to the left while on Victoria Street (heading north), when I saw a mass of people outside this establishment. I trotted over (jaywalked too!), and put my name in for 1. I was seated quickly. I looked over the smallish menu, and decided on the "French Connection." Just coming ffrom Montreal, I thought this was fit, but in reality, I just wanted some French Toast with my eggs and bacon. The drinks came with the meal (which I didn't care, some like it prior; also it was really busy), and it was very amazingly delicious. I had trouble typing it because I thought about the food as if I were eating it now. 5 strips of bacon, 2 scrambled eggs, a side of home fries, and 2 slices of French Toast. I was in heaven. Maybe it was because I was hungrier than I have ever been (slight exaggeration?), maybe it was that there was no wifi and I couldn't distract myself from the taste, but it was good, and I ate it all. For some reason, the food in Canada isn't cheap, I spent $17 Canadian here ($12 food, $5 tip [lot of tip, but what's the point of leaving 3 bucks?]). Usually this meal would've cost about $8 US. Whatever, I was happy, and the walk back to my hotel room was like walking in air. read more

I like having a diner in the Financial District (FiDi). I was seated at a cozy booth by the wall since I was dining alone I liked that they did that. I ordered the Sunset pancakes. Comes with three 4" pancakes ($5.99). She tried to upsell me on whipped cream and strawberries which sounded delicious, but I am watching my calories, and my wallet (just came from a stellar job interview). She brought my coffee promptly and refilled it routinely throughout my stay. Price was around 9 bones including tax for cakes and coffee, not a bad deal. read more

The waitor asked where we come from and gave us a Canadian etiquette lecture. I guess this is exactly the 'course' I expected from Sunset Grill read more

Service was kinda rude Came in and the person just threw our menu on the table. When the waitress came by, I was curious about the French toast because usually when I go to other places for breakfast, it comes with stuff like cinnamon or peanut butter. So when I asked, the waitress was acting like I was an idiot and all she said was "French toast...." Food came pretty fast though read more

Awesome weekend specials were awesome! Texas omelette - corned beef, peppers, onions with hash potatoes, and toast! The specials also comes with coffee or tea! The only thing that was missing was cheese in the omelette! read more

An Ontario chain planning to expand in Canadian. The place is often crowded but the waits, if necessary, are brief, the food is plentiful, tasty and cheap. Today I had the Canadian burger featuring a half pound patty,- slab of the Torotospecialtypeameal bacon, tomato, lettuce and two good slices of pickle. About $8.00US. We have eaten here every day since our arrival. read more

This is the worst restaurant do not waste your time or money the fact that we complained and they didn't even do our requests was horrible service. Our potatoes were raw and cold and they took our plates and "refried" them and came back the same. I ordered orange juice and it never came. On the menu eggs florentine comes with 3 eggs and I only got 2 and complained and they brought a random egg on a plate literally no accommodations I cannot believe I even paid... read more

Another big chain with not much to offer. One star for our server as she was nice and friendly but our food was not the best. The location is quite big and their are plenty of seats. But wow the food did not have taste as we struggle to finish breakfast the easy meal on the planet to eat. The eggs we not done the best and the potatoes were a disgrace. The best thing about the meal was toast with butter! I will have to try another Sunset Grill location so see if this was a franchise issue or a hit and miss. read more

Yellow Light, Not sure if I would suggest it to you but you may like it. Classic diner with a menu breakfast based that goes until the afternoon. Pancakes, eggs and yogurt options made nicely without any fancyness. Fair for the price they ask. Personnel was quick but without much attention to the customer. I want to go again to make my final decision on the rating because based on just the pancakes and the coffee I had I can't tell yet. read more

Sunset Grill - Pancakes ! - Diners Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Just happened to stumble upon this place since it was right next to our hotel, I really enjoyed my breakfast here. I'm a simple girl and breakfast doesn't have to be all fancy to be enjoyable. I had a waffle with eggs and it was just that simple, but rewarding. The waffle was hot and the batter was good with the Canadian maple syrup. Eggs were good as scrambled eggs can be. Everything came out hot and it tasted good which is what is important to me. I'd come back here. read more

Breakfast review; this would be a regular spot for me. Seated promptly and very friendly and attentive servers (both days we went here). Took the order right away and served up quickly. Eggs are the small ones; but you get three and they are done right; OE or scrambled. K got a fruit dish with her eggs; very generous portion; fresh and tasty. Potatoes are plainly done, which is the way I like. I would be here for breakfast once a week if I could. read more

The son wanted pancakes around lunchtime, and the wife was just finishing a seminar, so we headed out to Sunset Grill on Richmond Street in Toronto. The place was packed for lunch, but the wait was only around twelve minutes. Staff was very well organized and had obviously dealt with the rush on a regular basis. Good sign. The boy's pancakes were crispier than those we're used to, but very fluffy inside. He cleaned his plate. The wife and I had omelets: hers was the "Canadian", with Swiss cheese, mushrooms and bacon while I opted for the "Meat Lover's" with peameal bacon, American bacon, ham and sausage, cheddar cheese, and an addition of onion. Both were most delicious, and came with home fries and Texas toast. Although the place was really busy with regulars from Toronto's financial district, we weren't rushed or pushed by our server. She was very good, and obviously cared about whether we were happy with everything. read more

We hit Sunset today for our hangover breakfast and it hit the spot. I could just as easily have given Sunset 4 stars but being from NJ which is basically the diner capitol of the world I couldn't justify the "Yay" rating. However that being said, our breakfast was very good. I went for the French connection which came with french toast, eggs, home fries, and sausage. French toast was bangin, and the sausage was better than expected as well. The dining area is open and airy with a view of the kitchen in back. Big windows in front make for some good people watching as well. read more

For an all day breakfast spot, these guys definitely deliver. Big portions, fair pricing and again, all day breakfast. Servers are always happy, which makes me happy. It's my go to breakfast place. No frills, no thrills, but definitely will get all the breakfast fixin's you're looking for read more

Work had sent me to Toronto for the weekend and this place served me my first Toronto meal. Gotta say, it was a pretty good start. I had just finished a 6-hour long greyhound ride from Montreal (took the bus option over flying-- never again), and unfortunately the outlets weren't working so I couldn't charge my phone. By the time I got to Toronto, I had 2% battery life left and check -in wasn't til 1. I quickly Yelp'd the nearest (yet good quality) breakfast joint and cue: Sunset Grill. The host was kind enough to sit me near a power outlet so that I could restore life to my phone. I ordered the 3 eggs, hash browns, bacon, toast combo with coffee. It was a pretty busy morning but the food came within a reasonable time. The food itself was delicious. Eggs over easy were made fairly well, not 2, BUT 4 strips of crispy delicious goodness bacon fried in perfect strips, great potatoes (although I thought they'd be fries because the menu said home style fries), and 2 slices of toast cut diagonally into 4 pieces and already buttered. The coffee was good too, very strong, just the way I like it. The service was alright. I was not checked up on until I had finished my meal (no coffee refills, no water refills). The waiter also didn't tell me that I pay at the front; I was foolishly waiting at my table with the bill for a good 10 minutes. To be fair, it was a very busy day. Buuuut to be fair to me, I'm still paying the same amount on that busy day as someone else would on a slow day so I expect that we're paying for the same service. All in all, delicious food but just okay service. I imagine the service would be fantastic on a slower day because the waitstaff, in general, were pretty friendly. read more

Had the French connection. I personally think the Canadians have the market on bacon and syrup. Those were my fav! Thought it was too much food but I ended up eating most of it as it was sooo good. The service was "on spot"! Very attentive, quick and priced well. Very glad I ventured out as it beat hotel food any day. read more

Place seems to come highly recommended but food was really disappointing. Presentation is bad and the food is mediocre.

Like most sunset grills it's busy, but the servers is fast and helpful! Had a morning meeting and I needed to grab a bite to eat after, and for $16 you get a good sized plate with sausages and eggs and toast. It's not the best food I've had but I would definitely recommend it over some other places. The super friendly staff is what sets this place apart from other regular franchise places! Would eat there again if I was looking for a break fest type meal. read more

Put in a take out order for a team breakfast. It was hot, packed, and ready for pickup with zero issues. Totally lived up to what I've come to expect from Sunset, delicious and good portions. Will definitely suggest we use this location for similar functions in the future. Thanks to Peter and team for putting this together. read more

I came with some friends during lunch because it was close to work, the price and portion is really good (which is why I gave it one extra star) for a restaurant located in the downtown core. My eggs were cooked perfectly, but the bacons are a little overcooked to my liking. Portion wise, it's very good for $8. If you're looking for a gourmet breakfast experience, don't expect to find it here. However, if you're looking to fill up and save money, then this is the place for you. read more

It's hard to have anything bad to say about the food quality at any Sunset Grill location. Always spot-on tasty and a good size for the price. What I was disappointed in was the service at this location on my last visit. The moment we entered our server was not happy. If we are spending money on going out, we don't want to feel unwanted and have to deal with an angry server. I asked for a very simple substitution, as did my friend, the server was completely rude and replied with "I won't do that". Not being able to substitute something is completely okay (although this substitution would have meant less cost and more money for them and was reasonable), but being rude about it was unacceptable. We were basically hurried out the whole time, despite it being dead inside and not busy. Food came fast and warm, no complaints. Refills were brought okay. Before I literally put the last bite of food in my mouth she scooped up my plate, saying nothing and bringing the bill. She would not reply to anything but simply go ahead on with it. In short, this place would be perfect if they taught their servers (or this one in particular) that they need to throw a smile on, or maybe even ask if things are okay, not rush customers out (especially in a dead time). And servers, you know your tip will be greatly higher if you just try not send attitude towards customers? read more

It was a busy day for the folks at Sunset Grill. Many of the servers did their best job at accommodating those around us, but we appeared to fall into the waste side. We were seated very quickly despite the crowd, but our server, an older staff member, appeared to forget that we existed. Just dropped off some "h20" and disappeared into obscurity. We sat for 20 minutes without any our order (even drink order) taken. Then when the old coot realized we were alive she took our orders but we didn't get our food for another 30 minutes!!! I understand that it was a busy business, but if our waiter wasn't slower than Wendy's was to come out with the pretzel pattied bun, we would have received our meal quicker. Instead I was left sitting there with my partner smelling the aromas of everyone else's food but not the sweet aroma of my own nourishment. A lot of folks came after us and still got their food well before us. The coffee was good, though. And before you start saying I'm being unfair, I'll let you know I respect my elders and understand patience. But this woman (and the tax on our meal) was out right negligent-- ridiculous. Im giving this experience a 2 out of 5 stars. Bye everybody. read more
