Cindy D.

Caught up with a friend here and she suggested this diner. I am glad she did because we had a good experience overall with this location. Among the 3 of us, we got eggs benedict, classic breakfast, kid special of fries and chicken tenders and a side of onion rings. I enjoyed the eggs florentine very much. The hollandaise sauce was creamy and there was a good portion of home fries with it.

Smoked Meat Benedict

No frills breakfast spot with exceptional service, a bright atmosphere and fun music. We got the fried chicken and waffles (crispy chicken fingers, standard waffles, ranch and honey garlic sauces on the side) and the smoked meat benedict (meat, cheese and poached eggs) and enjoyed both of them. Kudos to the kitchen as well as to Nathan for being friendly and efficient with getting us our meal. An old time diner experience that's a great start to the day.

Riverdale

I remember when this place opened when I was still in highschool and its just as great as I…read moreremember. In fact, it got onto the Michelin list a couple years ago, and for good reason. The restaurant is giving cozy comforts diner with abut 20 people worth of seating. Join the waitlist as soon as you can because you can wait up to 2 hours for a table on a Sunday morning. After we got seated and our waiter came over and he wasn't giving the most welcoming energy, he seemed a little stand off ish which was weird but we assumed that's just how he was lol. Other than that that the service was good. We started with the biscuits. You have an option to have it with gravy or jam. We got jam and it came with a clotted cream like spread and a cinnamon apple tasting jam. The biscuits were nice and fluffy. We got an ice coffee too and it was really good. I always come for the party melt. It comes with their house salad and a scoop of their sweet potato salad. The whole plate was fantastic. We also for their turkey dinner and this was so delicious but we were so full we only had a couple bites and took the rest home. It was just as delicious as reheated leftovers.

A friend took me here. It's our first time for both of us…read more We came as soon as they are open and it's already line up. Ordered OG patty melt (reuben style), sour cream donut, egg and steak(or sausage? dont recall). Patty melt is really good. unique. tender and juicy patty. with dipping sauce on the side. Egg & steak(or sausage....dont recall) is too normal (my friend prefer to eat my patty melt instead). Sour cream donut is crazily delicious! not too sweet, soft and airy dough. We wish to buy more (cz we only ordered 1, just to try). As we were eating, people kept coming (but restaurant is full and they need to register for online waitlist, which could take 2-3hrs waiting list). Worth to try if you live nearby. Otherwise, probably it's ok to skip. It'a good or unique, but not too wow/mind blowing (especially for a far commute). It's a simple-and-classic-and-feels-homey vibe type of breakfast after all. Fast and attentive service. Cheers!

Corktown

In the heart of Corktown, The George Street Diner is a quietly confident institution -- the kind of…read moreplace that has no need to announce itself, because those who know, know. With its red exterior, snug booth seating, and counter stools worn smooth by years of faithful custom, it wears its authenticity without affectation. The Irish breakfast is the undisputed centrepiece: a generous, unapologetically hearty spread that arrives with the sort of abundance one associates with a proper Irish kitchen. Portions are substantial and satisfying, calibrated for appetite rather than aesthetics -- and all the better for it. The menu is unpretentious, and the cooking honest. What distinguishes The George Street Diner most, however, is the quality of its hospitality. The service is warm and unhurried, characterised by a genuine attentiveness that is increasingly rare. One leaves not merely fed, but looked after -- and that distinction matters. It is the sort of neighbourhood gem one recommends without hesitation, and whose reputation travels well. I have done so on multiple occasions, and the response has been unfailingly positive. A treasured find for weekend brunch in Toronto.

I haven't been here in years. Ordered the Irish breakfast which consisted of mushrooms, over easy…read moreeggs, beans, soda bread, French fries, and a piece of tomato. Honestly, it was awful. The eggs were great but I couldn't eat the rest. I don't want fries for breakfast. The beans were straight out of a can, a tiny piece if mushy tomato, extremely dry soda bread, and the worse tasting mushrooms I've ever had. Husband had the same but with too salty sausage. He couldn't eat it. We both basically ate the egg with a piece of the soda bread. Service was great. Coffee cup never empty. But omg, SO pricey for a diner. Won't be back.

Scarborough

While standing in the long lineup to get into Sammy's for Sunday brunch (note that this place is…read morebetter to visit on a weekday) I met a nice lady who told me she has had two knee replacements. Sadly there was no chair for her to sit down on yet it didn't stop her from going to her regular spot for a Sunday brunch. She told me that she has been coming here for many years, even before it was called Sammy's. Has it been 30 years, she asked herself? Either way, she made it known that she is quite the regular. Very nice and friendly lady. These are the types of regulars that make the diner what it is. There is a sign in clipboard at the front, as soon as you walk in. You have to sign in as part of contact tracing in case there is an outbreak of COVID linked back to this establishment. Make sure you do not block the pathway from behind the bar, I didn't block it but a large family with several kids needed a place to stand in line and wait for a big table, because servers will get very mad at you and tell you "I NEED TO GET BY! DON'T BLOCK THE WAY!" But there is no where to stand when the lineup is 20 people deep. This is something to think about once the weather gets colder and there is a long lineup out the door. Perhaps takeout would be a better option than to be yelled at by the short haired waitress with tattoos? While I did not mind waiting and I had a book to occupy my time in the lineup and at the table before I was given the menu, I could see that this was obviously a rush time, prime time lunchtime at the diner, maybe others might be a little more impatient than me? I could watch a snail crawl for hours, patience is a virtue. The wait is very long to get seated and even longer to get food. While the food was pretty good, and the other server was very friendly, attentive and nice, I think they were short staffed that day and nothing is ever as instant as fast food. My advice would be to go here when you have the time to wait. Don't come here if you are in a rush. It's better to only come here when you have lots of time to wait.

Home style food well prepared. Lots of variety in the menu....Staff are good people too.read more

At the corner of Carlton and Bleecker St, I spotted a mural of their trademark locomotive painted on the outside walls. Choo-choo, Chew chew! I chew-chewed my way into the train themed diner. I got the All Aboard Special Breakfast which is a meat lover's dream. It came with 3 eggs, 2 sausages, 2 strips of bacon, a slice ham and peameal bacon, seasoned home fries and buttered toast your choice of white, brown or rye. Adorning the walls are black and white photographs of trains. A panoramic photo on one wall is a captivating one of the Minnesota border, smiling staffer Sean tells me while taking down the Christmas holiday decor. It's a green grassy beauty. It has a long history of charity, partnering with St.Luke's United Church and Dixon Hall to supply a street outreach team hot meals to distribute to those who need it. The diner is more than meets the eye, some greasy spoons are full of character and kindness.

The eggs were always perfectly cooked, the bacon crispy, and delicious home fries. The staff were all very friendly. Nothing but great things to say!
