Benedict
Janine W.

I recently went to bunch there and it's obviously busy on the weekend cause they have a time limit lol! I had their prosciutto tomato Benedict. The meals was breakfast with ham. The good: the ham was real ham not deli meat and they even asked how I wanted my eggs. That's rare. And I had never thought of it cause I think most places cook them medium so runny but slightly firm. So that was a bonus to detail that I don't normally get. Their hollandaise sauce is rich for sure. So if you don't like I'd get it on the side. The potatoes were good The bad: I was supposed to get beans with the meal and realized afterwards we didn't get any. The potatoes are just French fries. I prefer potatoes cooked on the grill until crispy but soft. Anyways it's a decent place if you're in the area. Idk if I'd make a special trip to eat there but if I am on the area I'd go back for sure

Pancakes
Sam K.

I love to order their pancakes for delivery. When they're done well, they're really good: cozy, warm and comforting. Sometimes, they're a bit undercooked. But I always go back to ordering from them because they always hit the spot. Obviously, eating them fresh in the restaurant is best so that they don't get too spongy from the steam in delivery packaging, but that's inevitable.

Madeline
Deanne M.

We came here for a late brunch on a Saturday. We signed up for the waitlist on Yelp so by the time we got there our table was ready. We both got eggs benedict, the Madeline (smoked salmon) and Parma Perfection (prosciutto, tomatoes, balsamic), which both came with a side of our choice. Both eggs Benedict were really good but our favourite was the Parma Perfection! We also ordered an iced coffee each. We weren't fans of the iced coffee as we both prefer something sweeter. Overall it's a good spot to grab brunch if you're in the area!

Kids pancakes (blueberry and smarties)

Homely feeling. I think its being run by a couple. Great service. Yummy food. Blueberry Pancake was amazing.

Not so traditional club sandwich
Jasmine S.

Came here on a weekday for brunch/lunch, and there was plenty of seating on their patio so we had our pick. Our waitress was really attentive and made sure that she checked up on us. She made sure to clean our table before we sat down which we appreciated. My husband ordered their classic eggs Benedict with home fries, and I had their not so traditional club sandwich with fries. Food was really good, we both really enjoyed our meals and was so satisfied after. We already have plans to come back again! Prices were very reasonable and portions were very good. Their food tasted fresh and hearty! Definitely cannot wait to come back! Would recommend that you come during off peak times as there isn't a lot of patio seating space.

Eggs Benedict
Olya S.

I was here for breakfast. The restaurant is quite small and I guess the experience depends on where you sit. I had a good place and I was comfortable. I saw some people sitting in the hallway facing the kitchen. The service was nice. I ordered Eggs Benedict with salad. They were pretty good but nothing special. Coffee was not good. I don't think I would come here again.

Look at the dirt on the 'Chicken' clearly they don't clean the grill at all. Disgusting trash.

Just when you think food can't get much worse Honeway comes along and shows us all how it's done. The worst brunch you can find in Toronto for the highest price. Their grills are dirty, your chicken will be covered in black crap because they don't clean it. Baked beans? Looks like some threw a few things unseasoned into a pot a few days ago and it's inedible. Fries? Soggy, flavorless and unseasoned. Probably the most inedible item is the club. Please god do not get the club. It's vile. I tried calling to speak to the manager, the wait staff said there wasn't one and they didn't know when they would come back. I sat on hold for 10 minutes and still no manager from their smoke break. Disgusting. Please avoid with your life. Everything is tasteless, soggy, under seasoned and served with no care for your hard earned money. STAY AWAY!

Bitten used fruit from someone else's plate!
Joseph F.

I ordered breakfast for delivery with 2 fruit bowls. None of the fruit was trimmed, not even the pineapple bark was removed. If they're to lazy to prep the fruit are they also too lazy to wash it? Probably.. but more importantly and the reason for this post is because a piece of the melon they served me had a BITE MARK taken from it. They obviously took the fruit garnish from a used plate and gave it to me. Disgusting!! They should be ashamed!!

Genuinely one of the most unique and delicious brunch experiences I've ever had. I ordered the…read moreSouthern breakfast, sweet potato salad, vanilla mascarpone donut and coffee. The flavours and textures in the Southern Breakfast and sweet potato salad weren't typical of what you usually find in a Toronto brunch. The best part was the homemade biscuit and gravy included in the meal. The donut was light with a fluffy mascarpone filling and the coffee was very tasty for brewed coffee. The diner itself is really cute, with nice small booths and some high-top seating. The washrooms are on ground level with the dining area and are exceptionally clean and well lit. I suggest visiting on a weekday and adding yourself to the online waitlist rather than just showing up. I'm aware that this place can be very difficult to get into on the weekends. The service was great and friendly, and I would be happy to return.

You can enter your name and party size and you'll be informed how many people are in front of you in the lineup; that way, you can plan your approximate arrival time. You can check the status of the lineup with the link texted to you. Once your table's ready, you'll receive a text message with 10 minutes grace per. There are 7 booths and 5 bar chairs available for dine-in. The menu feels different from a typical diner and offers great variety of comfort food and drinks. We ordered "Sweet Potato Salad", "Southern Breakfast", and "Hot Turkey". The Southern Breakfast was a filling plate with eggs, bacon, grits, gravy, fermented greens and their famous buttermilk biscuit, while the Hot Turkey was a really interesting combination of stuffing French toast, smoked turkey, gravy, cranberry chutney and maple butter. The Sweet Potato Salad was a nice side to balance out the heavier dishes, and everything had that homemade comfort-food feel. The staff are friendly and helpful and there's Green P parking available on Queen East.

The atmosphere was welcoming and had the classic charm you'd expect from a neighborhood favorite. Unfortunately, our experience didn't quite live up to the hype. The food was decent but fairly average. Nothing was particularly bad, but nothing stood out as memorable either. The Irish breakfast was not Irish at all. For a place with such a strong reputation, I expected more flavor and attention to detail. The biggest disappointment was the service. The service was slow, they never checked on the table, and several requests (3 of the 5 drinks, syrup for the french toast, water refills) were either forgotten or took a long time to arrive. The restaurant wasn't especially busy, which made the lack of attentiveness even more noticeable. About 20 mins after we finished our food, we decided to head inside to pay and then our server noticed we left and accused us of walking on our tab but we had the payment receipt! I can see why some people may enjoy this spot, and perhaps I visited on an off day, but based on this experience, I found the food ordinary and the service well below expectations.

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.

Sammy's has warm, welcoming and hard-working staff; they seemed genuinely happy to be working there. The food is diner quality, except for the flaming saganaki OPA!

WE ORDERED: - Liver and onions with bacon was pretty good; judging by the comments made by hubby, we will be coming back for this. - Side Salad - lettuce was limp, not the freshest. I would recommend getting a different side. - Saganaki - not only was this a yummy appetizer, the show was entertaining. Just make sure to let the staff know if you want to takes pictures or take a video beforehand; I forgot to tell our waitress, so by the time I whipped out my camera, the show was over. Oh well, live and learn.
