Everything here is so delicious and fresh.My favorite is the liver dish! I'm glad to have discovered this restaurant.

We love our waiter Gabriel he was so attentive to our needs and wants, he kept us hydrated and service was awesome! Two thumbs up we will be back... read more

Can't believe I have never been here. Food is good, pricing is reasonable and it's not a chain. Will be back.

Nice local restaurant that was surprisingly busy on a Friday afternoon. The staff were attentive and made sure our coffee was consistently refilled. Both the burger and peameal sandwich were good, with lots of toppings (tomatoes and lettuce) and reasonably priced. I would come back to try their breakfast. read more

We moved to the area about six months ago, and since then, I think we've driven by The Olive approximately 8000 times. So when the opportunity arose to go out for brunch on a recent Sunday, I immediately thought of The Olive. We showed up around 1:30 and the place was packed, but luckily we were able to snag a sweet window table. A quick perusal of the menu led me straight to the Breakfast Wraps section, because I just can't say no to anything in wrap or burrito form. I elected to go with the Western Wrap ("Scrambled eggs, ham, eggs, green peppers, onions & cheddar cheese"), which comes with homefries. This is one delicious breakfast wrap. It arrived to the table hot, which is always a plus, and it's been assembled with impressive care. Each bite was remarkably consistent, and the various components all worked really well. I think it could probably use some kind of a zesty sauce to tie it all together, but that's a minor complaint. The homefries were tasty but nothing special, and I was kind of missing the crisp you sometimes get with really good homefries. I do, however, want to single out the service, which was friendly and efficient. I think we might have a new brunch spot on our hands, but I can only imagine how difficult it must be to get a table during peak times. read more

Since moving to Etobicoke I've been looking for a new breakfast joint...and I think I may have found it! We have driven by here so many times since moving to Etobicoke and finally had a chance to try it out! Right off the bat we were very impressed with Excellent service! We were promptly greeted and seated and fresh delicious coffee was provided! I'm a huge fan of eggs Benny and they were able to customize the menu and give me Gyro eggs Benny!! So delicious! If you're looking for tasty and kid friendly place for breakfast I highly recommend you check this place out I'll definitely be back! read more

This is my mom and step dad's fave place for take out. They've been enjoying it for years. When we come to visit if no one feels like cooking, we hit up the Olive for a quick takeaway meal. Fun/random fact, they once visited while former Raptor Danny Green was eating here on his birthday, so you know it has to be good. We typically get their salads for take out - the hubby (and my rents) love their chicken Greek salad. Their house made dressing is delicious. I've not tried many dishes on the menu but overall the vibe is a tasty, home-cooked style of food which is great in my books and really hits the spot! read more

We used to go here often. One time I went here to pick up an order. The owner complained that last time, the waitress forgot to charge us for something. That was not my problem. This time, we had several orders "2 pound wings", which cost a few dollars less than 2 separate orders of "1 pound wings". Instead of charging me the right price for the "2 pound wings", the owner treated all the "2 pound wings" as separate "1 pound wings" order as he put together the bill, and charged me $20 extra, which I only found out after going through the itemized bill at home. I am positive he knew exactly what he's doing, trying to make up for the loss for his last mistake. He won't pull another trick on me next time, as I am never going back. read more

When I say if you have heart it can SHOW FACE behind the MASK...this is the type of CUSTOMER SERVICE you get at this establishment. I came here for brunch they have great options when it comes to substitutes; turkey bacon for peameal for example...great prices. I ordered sunny side up, and greasy side down flares. Food was great, servove phenomenal. High Five for keeping it real!! read more

This was my first time at the olive restaurant. It was a Sunday morning and my friend and i were looking for a brunch spot The pros: Great spacious restaurant with quick service. Prices are affordable. The eggs benny (pemeal benny) was $12, and you get to choose how runny you want the yolk. Mine was cooked well and the pemeal was delicious (crispy) The cons: Before even being seated, a cup of coffee was poured for each of us. This could be a pro if you were going to order coffee anyways. But it automatically got added to my bill. I can see how this might not sit well with someone who wasn't going to order coffee. The food was cold, especially the home fries which were a bit bland and definitely not crispy. More like baked potato bits. read more

Went for all day breakfast and had bacon with a side of sausage It was delicious and at a good price Only thing was the bacon wasn't thick slices it was extremely thin If you're going to order anything get the sausages they were delicioius read more

I had wanted to try this place for a while. Sunny morning was closed for renovations... Unfortunately, as it turned out! I saw a Yelp pic of corned beef hash, and I was looking so forward to trying it... I haven't had it in years, and it's not on many menus. First cup of coffee wasn't jot enough by far. Food comes quick. Waitress was nice. Corned beef hash was not what I expected. Corned beef was separate from the eggs and potatoes. It had no flavor. Eggs weren't seasoned either. And prices are no better than other places for eggs Benedict... Overall, not impressed. Waiting for Sunny Morning to reopen! read more

Surprisingly good food and service from an unsuspecting little dinner in the middle of nowhere. Came here today with a friend for brunch after reading positive reviews on yelp. The diner itself was dreary and sad looking but it was quite clean and tidy. I ordered the hungry men and couldn't have been happier. A slab of Peameal bacon, 2 strips of bacon, and 2 sausages, 2 slices of toast, 3 eggs, home fries and 2 slices of French toast for just a little over 10$. Delicious food at an excellent price :) I'll soon be living relatively close to the olive and will definitely be back! read more

Had a craving for a good breakfast and I must say that I found the right place for it! I work less than 10 minutes away from this place and myself and the guys have always thought of hitting it one of these days, although mostly for lunch. Ordered their Breakfast special, 2 eggs, over-medium, home fries, rye bread and coffee. There's not one bad thing I can say about the place or the food or the service. Even at 6:45 AM, the place was starting to get busy. The server was friendly and the coffee refills kept coming. The breakfast came out in a timely fashion as well. The eggs were actually over-medium, which was good (usually people screw that up), the home-fries were really good, the coffee was decent. Was surprised that the coffee was included in the combo. The place is very good value for money as I came out paying $5.70 tax in + tip. But I was happy with it. Will definitely return and also drop by over the lunch hour to see if they can match/ beat the breakfast. If your'e in the area and are craving breakfast, definitely give them a try. read more

The Olive Restaurant - Breakfast combo lookin' good! - Canadian (New) Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

??head scratch? I am really surprised at the number of positive reviews. Having lived in the area for decades, and never having known anyone to eat here, I was very skeptical. The place is tired-looking and dusty. While I hear the breakfasts are good, I had a very disappointing meal. On the recommendation of the server, I ordered the roast beef special. The meat was dry and tough, like shoe leather. I ate what I could. Had someone placed the meal in front of me, before I ordered, and offered to pay ME $20 to eat it, (my meal price), I would have refused. The wings I saw someone else order, looked pasty white, and hardly a pound. How are deepfried wings white?? The server was odd and erratic, listening in on my groups conversation, yelling and adding her two cents, (which no one asked for). Maybe people come here for CHEAP breakfast? I will not come back. I can find better quality food and ambience at many other nearby places. Who is giving this place 4/5 stars??? read more

I came out of my way from downtown just to have a family style liver and onions dinner and they did not disappoint! Staff were friendly, service excellent, coffee refills aplenty. I asked for my liver cooked rare and it was a thinner steak they did their best I appreciate. They graciously accommodated my dressing on side for their garden salad, and the mashed potatoes and vegetables side for the main were lovely. I am looking forward to visiting again even if 1-2 hours away from me read more

Have been going to The Olive for years but unfortunately things seem to be going downhill. The food is inconsistent now. Chicken in Greek salad is overdone and most recently picked up a sandwich (takeout) and the bread was horribly burned; of course that piece was placed on bottom to hide it. Burnt toast is inexcusable and the last straw. Much as I want to love this little local place and support their business, will no longer invite people to meet me there for lunch. Hopefully things get back on track. read more

The Olive Restaurant - Burnt toast....that is one VERY toasted western! Needless to say after a bite, I ditched the burnt toast leaving just the omelet. - Canadian (New) Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is my favourite place to come for breakfast in Etobicoke! There are so many delicious items on the menu here and the service is always fast and the waitresses are so nice. They have the best omelettes hands down and the Greek omlette is the best one by far. The eggs are always fluffy and yellow and they are never overdone. The eggs benedicts are all good as well, eggs always cooked perfectly. Their peameal bacon is the best in the city too- not salty and has tons of flavour. The lunch menu is very good and they have the best tuna sandwiches EVER!!!! I don't know what is in it but it doesn't taste like anything I have ever eaten before. All in all the best little breakfast place in the area and good prices. :) read more

Good for all you to leave such positive reviews for this local family owned restaurant because I always drive by it and would have never in a million years thought to stop in. It's very unassuming as it's located in a small strip plaza just off The East Mall. It looks like it might be a dive as you drive by but, trust me, it's a hidden gem! We decided to try it on Saturday for brunch and, let me tell you, we (especially my husband) will definitely be returning. As soon as we walked in, we got a good vibe as it was very clean and there were quite a few people in there dining. I ordered one of the specials - two eggs, corn beef hash and homefries (came with rye toast) for $8.95 and my husband ordered the Peameal Benedict for (I think) $11.95. When it arrived, I couldn't believe how huge the portions were. Everything was top notch; eggs were cooked to perfection; homefries were perfectly seasoned and crispy and even the toast was good. I tried my a bite of my husband's Peameal Benedict and the Hollandaise sauce rivaled some of the best I've ever had for that dish. Only problem was that I ate 2/3 of it at about noon and I was full until 9pm. One thing to note: it's not lacking ambience BUT it's very quiet in there with only one TV playing so, because there was someone at the table behind us, we had to keep our voices/ conversation low. Bottom line: awesome food, great service and just a good, honest, family run restaurant. They don't have a website or advertise so please try and a get out and support this local Etobicoke business! read more

The Olive is located about 30 seconds from where I currently work, and recently popped in for a quick lunch on my ever-so-short lunch break. It's very mom-and-pop-ish. The back wall looks strange, as if they weren't really sure what to put back there, but it's not too distracting. The chairs could have been a little more comfortable, but they're not offensive or anything. They do get some nice lighting coming from outside, so there's that. The pictures on the wall are fun. The staff (who appear to be family) are all total sweethearts. They advertise a very modestly priced all-day breakfast, but I opted for a standard burger and fries. While I was getting a little concerned on the amount of time it took for my food to come out, it was well worth the wait. The fries were great, and the burger was big and cooked perfectly. It's not going to rock your face off, but the prices are very low, the staff super friendly, and the food is just fine. I'll definitely return. read more

Well today was my first visit at the olive ! I have to say the service was great, the waitress Was very friendly and fast ! I ordered eggs Benedict florentine which i love however these were not the best in my opinion , The eggs were ok the spinach wasn't cooked And potatos little burnt but ok I wish it was good cause I work really close by and would love to have come back as I love all day breakfast ... Maybe try the lunch menu ? It might be better ? read more

My wife and I stopped for a late breakfast on a Friday morning. The restaurant was full at 11:30 . The servers cleared and reset tables quickly. I ordered the lunch special western sandwich with soup and fries. The sandwich and fries were great. My wife had a spinach omelette which she said was delish . The clam chowder was a disappointment. There were clams and celery and onions but too much corn starch as thickening agent. The soup would have been better with more potatoes . Overall a decent restaurant but ask about the chowder before ordering. read more

The Olive restaurant is located in a strip-mall just a couple of blocks North of the Canadian Tire on Queensway. The bacon is well cooked, the potatoes are delicious and most importantly, "over easy" always comes out perfect. The coffee is ok, tolerable but nothing spectacular. The price is fantastic. Breakfast for 2 can be had, with tip, for under $15. read more

Hidden gem tucked away in an unsuspecting plaza around The Queensway and East Mall in Etobicoke. No-frills diner style breakfast joint. The traditional breakfast with your choice of sausage, bacon or ham is your best bet. The Olive used to be 4/5 stars in my books. Cheap, fast, hot, great service with frequent coffee refills however, things weren't been up to par during my visit this morning. Huge sign out front saying "Hiring Full-time/part time cooks" helps explain this. My eggs Benedict sauce tastes "off". Like out of a package. I was too hungover to care at the moment. My friends "well done" home fries were just a huge piece of par boiled potato finished on the griddle. Sausages were completely burnt and inedible. Waitress was very nice about sending back food to kitchen. Overall, management needs to hire another waitress or two, and hire better kitchen staff! 3/5. read more

Dear Cook at The Olive Restaurant, Putting the burnt side of the toast inside the fried egg sandwich does not hide it at all because you can still taste the burnt flavour all through it in every bite. Buttering the bread, on the other hand, would've helped a lot as the burnt taste wouldn't have been so unpleasant if the sandwich hadn't been dry as a bone. Have a great day! Love, Me read more

First time I went here I enjoyed it. But I just ordered from skip and received a nearly inedible meal. I asked for medium poached eggs and got them hardboiled. What's even worse is that the egg was completely broken in its container as if the chef tore it apart and was like "f*** it, just send it like that" instead of making a new one. Also my steak was supposed to be medium and it was SO beyond well done that it was so chewy. I couldn't even eat half of it. Awful. It's as if they think they can get away with terrible service if it's being delivered. read more

I like to try new places for brunch when I go up to Toronto, so I did a lookup for an inexpensive, high-rated on Yelp place in the area. Thanks, fellow Yelpers, for giving this good points! The food was plentiful and very well prepared, and although the Hollandaise on my Benedict was a little bland, it was overall excellent, and I'd definitely head back here again. They also gave Lee ham instead of the bacon he ordered, but he'd completely forgotten anyway, and told the apologetic waitress to forget about it. He'd eaten about half of it as it was. There's a lot of open space in here that they could probably add more seating to, but it could be that they're trying to control how busy it is. By the time we left on Sunday, the place had a line that was starting to go out the door. With great little places like this, there's no need to head to a chain! read more

Great portions. Waitress was very sweet. Greek omelette had tons of flavor. Pancakes were huge. Definitely a nice low key spot.

My wife and I were in the area heading to Ikea. We decided to drop in for breakfast one Friday, after reading reviews on yelp about this place. Had a corner table by the window and it was a bit of a tight squeeze. No big deal. Ordered the classic breakfast with 3 eggs over easy, sausages, home fries and rye toast. Ny wife had the same with bacon. Good quality, good price and it was quick with pleasant service. I left feeling satisfied. read more

An average brunch place. We decided to go here when our first choice (sunny morning) was closed on Boxing Day. The servers are extremely nice and fast. The food was average. I had 2 eggs, hash browns, rye toast and a side of pancakes. The hash browns are made of real potatoes pan fried. Not really very crispy if that's what you like. The pancakes were quite dense not light and fluffy. Overall it was a good quick no frills breakfast. But nothing really memorable. read more
