My dad and I went there this afternoon and It was really busy. When we went to sit at a booth the manager Sue came over yelled at us for sitting in a booth. read more

We went here for a concert on a Thursday and it wasn't busy and were able to get a table right away. It's a very cute place with tons of seating. The menu had a good variety of everything and everything sounded good. I got the turkey triple decker sandwich and honestly it was okay. A little dry and slightly burnt. The home style fries were not anything amazing either. We also tried the fish and chips and it was on the oiler side but was flaky and alright. However, the highlight of the meal was their apple pie with ice cream, which was absolutely amazing and worth the try! The flaky pastry paired well with the ice cream and gooey apple filling. The service was also good, with a very attentive and kind service. She was very caring and made sure we had everything for our meal. Overall not a bad place to grab some food, worth going just for that pie! read more

September 23, 2026. My husband and I had looked forward to having an early dinner at Broadview just across the street from our place. We didn't feel the waitress was attentive. She didn't ask my husband if he wanted potatoes or rice with his order. He just got rice without a choice. The waitress was nervous and dropped things. We wondered why she wasn't handling things very well when we'd seen her working there for at least a year. We felt the diner was dirty with lots of flies on the tables and walls. Our food was constantly being attached by huge, filthy flies that wouldn't go away. We wondered if we were eating food contaminated by fly droppings. Yuck. We felt Broadview Diner had gone downhill, and if that's the case, maybe we ought to find another place. Given the unhygienic conditions, who knows, maybe the Health Department might just give it an F-grade, and close it down. We really want a diner like Broadview on our street, but if it's not meant to be, it should close down and get a bug exterminator. But, at the simplest level, if the owner, manager, and staff do know about the filthy flies, how about set some traps? We wish Broadview Diner well, but we won't go back until we hear of improvements. read more

Came here when it first opened a few years back. I can't remember what we ordered but whatever it was, it was so bad we haven't gone back til now. They open at 7 and most of our go to's open after 8. Went there for an early breakfast. We split the Mediterranean sizzler which came with toast and 2 eggs. It had spinach, peppers, feta and olives with large chunks of potatoes. It was excellent. Fresh orange juice. Service was excellent. We'll definitely be back. read more

Nice, standard breakfast. My food (avocado toast with eggs) was good, but nothing mind-blowing. Good little spot. read more

The Broadview Diner - Breakfast! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

How do you mess up breakfast? Shell in eggs. Toast was burnt. And the best part... a curly dark hair in the waffles. Server was apologetic and replaced the toast and waffle, removed beverage off the tab.... It wasn't even busy, meaning the cook had TIME to pay attention to details. Not sure if it was the experience that made me nauseous or the food. read more

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. read more

The meatloaf was fantastic. A generous helping accompanied by mashed potatoes and gravy with mixed fresh vegetables. The service was on par, friendly and efficient and the diner was comfortable and clean. Best of all, the prices were reasonable. I'm definitely coming back to try breakfast. read more

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. read more

Food: awful, someone should show the cook the difference between a "grilled cheese sandwich" and a toasted cheese sandwich with a single processed cheese slice (not melted), a mushy tomatoe slice and well cooked bacon. Oh - and home fries - that are boiled potatoe pieces {not heated through} with some sort of reddish seasoning, I guess to resemble being grilled ?? Obviously - never going back. read more

i remember ordering the Early bird special once & I loved it so much! thanks to the staff for being so fast & effecient as well! as for the ambiance, it's so quiet! I love it! read more

Exceptionally quick service with good food. Sue was excellent, accommodating large groups with ease.

There was only one waiter working on a Saturday morning, so I extended him a little leeway. Unfortunately, he used it all up. While the place wasn't overly crowded, we still had to wait longer than necessary to get our drinks and place our orders. Someone who sat down after us, got their food before us. When our food finally arrived, all of it was barely warm. I would have loved one refill on my water but that didn't happen. There were some strange musical sounds happening ever so often that really interrupted the ambiance. read more

I started going there a little while back. It's a very friendly place to eat. The first I went I had a lumberjack meal. It was amazing. The staff are great. I would recommend the broadview dinner to anyone. I give it .5 stars. Thank you for everything. It's a great place to eat. read more

Glad I finally found a diner with all day breakfast, wish them all the best BUT: the ladies washroom? Eww! Below photo is the ceiling above the stalls. Please fix!!!!!! read more

Wow! I just had the best breakfast at The Broadview dinner. The new ownership did an amazing job of the reno. I love the red booths and 1950's vibe. The waiter Nathan gave the best service I have seen all year and tue chef accompanied my allergies. So grateful to find this gem in Greektown. read more

Hidden gem in Toronto! Great food, service and prices! This was the best French toast I have ever had. Thank you!!!!

One of the few diners left that still have the classics Meatloaf, hot roast beef, Rubens etc! read more

Bland Clubhouse w frozen mini chicken breast, luke warm reheated fries. French Onion soup was a saltmine. Glass of oj and a pint of Domestic beer - just over $50 w slow service as well. Yeah, that's the last time we eat there. read more

I dined at the Broadview Diner today. Service by Nathan was friendly and prompt. Thanks Nathan, you're the best !! :) I had the lumberjack plate. Eggs were perfect, the home fries were awesome. the pancakes were the best I've had in years. I was a bit, only a bit, annoyed at having to pay 2 dollars more for real maple syrup instead of ordinary table syrup. Sign of the times I guess. At least the Diner offered a choice, very thoughtful. I shall be back and often. Thanks for a great meal. Chris and Brendon. :) read more

Good food and great service. Sue is just sunshine herself. Always friendly and welcoming. I love grabbing breakfast and just watching the world walk by those big bay windows.. it's a great spot to meet up with friends, talk, laugh and enjoy yourselves.. granted I mostly go for breakfast, and do take away for dinner. :-) read more

We ended up at this restaurant by chance, thinking mistakenly that our concert was at the nearby Danforth Music Hall. (Panicked Uber ride to Massey Hall at the end of the meal...) Service was very attentive and swift. The family at the booth next to us was hilarious "just because you have teeth does not mean that you have to use them". They were great with my daughter's allergies. We had the chicken fingers and fries with blueberry pancakes. Maple syrup for an extra $2 always worth it. The pancakes were enormous and fluffy, only complaint is that they were not fully mixed well and a couple of bites had a baking soda or something off flavour to them. read more

Ordered the Rueben sandwich for lunch. It was comically terrible. Burnt, scraped off the carbon, greasy, forgot the sauerkraut. Actually inedible. Service was great. Prompt and friendly. The stars are for the server. The cook should be fired. read more

My friend M and I come here at least once a month for their all day breakfast and bottomless coffer. They food is yum and the atmosphere laid back. Paul and Sue are a freakin' delight. read more

Visited the diner early mid morning, service was fast and friendly , menu was interesting and priced fair. Orange juice and grapefruit were amazing and tasted freshly squeezed however we were unable to find the cost of them on the menu. Will definitely go back read more

I've been here several times and love it. I always have the Eggs Florentine, but it's never been anything less than perfect. I like the cleanliness of the place! the decor and the staff seem very efficient. read more

Not great. We have been to this place twice now, I remember the first time being better, but nothing amazing. Went again 2 nights ago just to get a cool meal, my steak was not hot at all; and the fries we ordered were steaming but one bite in to them and they were kinda cold which only leads me to believe that they were microwaved; not to mention the food came out in under 5 minutes. Not sure how you would cook a steak in under 5 minutes. Felt like both our meals had been sitting under a heat lamp until ordered. The place was empty on a Friday night which is quite alarming. Our server was nice though. I like this place a lot more when it was the New York Cafe with previous ownership. We live around the corner from here and probably won't go again to be honest. read more

I had such high hopes for this place. We were visiting with friends from out of town and suggested this restaurant for a quick bite before they had to catch a train. The place was busy when we arrived but soon cleared out. The wait staff was changing, and we were told the waiter would be with us momentarily. No problem; we chatted about Christmas and ordered when the waiter arrived. We all ordered some version of the all-day breakfast, and everything was good. When the waiter returned with the coffees and other drinks, he spilled a very hot cup of coffee all down my arm. Luckily I moved very fast, or it would have been all down the front of my shirt. It was on my jacket, pants and sweatshirt. He apologized but did not bring any napkins to help me clean up or wipe up the table. The staff seemed more worried about the mess on the floor. The waiter ignored our table for the remainder of the meal, filling coffee and water around us, but never coming back to the table until the meal was finished. Strike #1. We are on a tight schedule, so we ate and got ready to head to the train station. My nephew then said that his pancake order was not right- he ate the entire pancake looking for the netella ( there was none) in addition - it also was burnt and the sausage was overcooked. We mention this to the waiter, and he apologizes and then disappears. Strike #2. We asked for the bill as it was time to get our guest to the train station, and it turns out that not only was the mistaken pancake order not taken off, but neither was my breakfast. Strike #3. We left and will not be going back. read more

the first time i went there i ordered the salmon with mashed potatoes and it was delicious.so of coarse i continued to go back but i have to say the last few times have been disappointing. the pasta with shrimp was over logged with this creamy sauce it was tasteless and i only ate about 1/3 of it. the burger was boring and just wasn't good, the french onion soup was a peice of bread on the top with those fake swiss processed cheese slices , it was so bad i sent it back and asked for it to be deducted from the bill. the prices are reasonable but not cheap , i am seriously thinking of not going back, how can you ruin french onion soup? i would not recommend it at all read more
