Just updating my original review. Nothing new about the service - excellent, friendly, home town. They seem proud of their business. Fun vibe. Good food. Been there about 5 times since last review (we don't go out much.) read more

Visited Toast on MLK Day to pass some time while we were waiting to get in to Lost Dutchman State Park. First off, their space is so cute! There's a bar and lots of seating in the main restaurant. They also had an outside patio overlooking the lot. The atmosphere felt very homey, overall! Their menu consisted of breakfast classics and some with Mexican flair. I ordered the chilaquiles and my boyfriend ordered the breakfast burrito. Both were good, but not extraordinary! The chilaquiles could have some extra spice to them - whether it is the salsa itself or the chicken tinga. The burrito on the menu said that there would be avocado slices, and it came with a single slice on the top of the burrito. Next time, I will order something on the American side of the menu - pancakes looked yummy! The wait staff was super friendly. They informed us and other folks that they don't allow outside food/drink (context: I had an energy drink when I walked in), and they kindly asked us if we could put it back in our cars others could hold it up front - which I was happy to do! Our specific waitress was kind and cracked jokes with me, and the other staff members were helpful when asked questions or directions. I'd recommend if you're in town! :) read more

Well here I am today though I'd come back and try something new. I ordered steak and eggs with tatters and raisin toast . I am happy to say the steak was delicious and medium rare like I asked. I've tried 2 other breakfast restaurants and ordered the same thing and they served them well done very disappointing. But here it was perfect. As for the service she was lacking attention. I had better service from the food server from the tables next to me her name is Kaiya. As for the place it's pretty cool with a beach theme. I'll be back read more

My son chose this option while we were in town for a car repair on Friday morning. First impression was that it seems super cute: outside dining with stylish curtains to block sun, and colorful interior. When I sat down I was blasted by the air and blinded by the sun. I moved to one side of the booth and it was better. Then, I attempted to order French toast and was told they ran out of brioche and the bread delivery was late. So I decided on biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs. I prefer my scrambled eggs in pieces instead of one piece (see photo). Gravy wasn't horrible but I didn't taste much of any seasoning. Biscuits were dry and not buttery. Bacon was good. My son barely ate his pancakes which is very unusual. We all thought it was strange to get Italian sausage instead of a traditional breakfast sausage link as a side. My mom ate her food but it didn't look great. Hashbrowns looked undercooked. Breakfast scramble was served with cherry tomatoes versus diced tomatoes. Another disappointment was having to ask for ketchup and syrup numerous times because they only bring small containers to the table instead of the full containers or carafes. Lastly, we spent over $60 on a meal we barely touched. Service was good. Waitress checked on us regularly and was very polite and nice. I think they're attempting to be high end in somewhat of a dumpy area and the recipes are not good enough to deserve the prices. Don't waste your time or money. read more

Toast Gio’s Breakfast & Lunch - Chilaquiles and Signature Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Apache Junction, Arizona

An absolute dime of a place in a location where there is not a ton of options. Seems like a bit of a hole in the rock, but seriously one of my favorite breakfast places I've been to. The servers were extremely friendly, nice little bar area to sit at as well. The food looked terrific and can confirm it tasted just how it looked. The Scrambles were their popular item and favorites. Portion size doesn't disappoint. Will definitely be back! read more

Fantastic experience. Staff to food great. We tried breakfast tacos, Carnitas toast, eggs Benedict, chilaquiles, veggie scramble. Nothing left on our plates. It was bustling at 10:30 am on Saturday. Very efficient. Known also for their cocktails. Will be back. Locals in the know spot. read more

The one dish that stood out weeks later is the bananas foster pancakes. It was so delicious. Everything else didn't stand out compared to that dish. The coffee was all right, since I didn't realize it came with a bunch of whipped cream. The eggs Benedict with bacon was solid. The service was good and friendly. The atmosphere is of a quaint mom/pop restaurant. I'd definitely go back for the pancakes though. read more

I never get tired of Toast Gio. Their breakfast has a broad lead over their their local breakfast spots specific to the food quality and flavor. While other breakfast spots may serve a larger portion, they are normally coated in too much sodium. TG gets it just right every time. I will note the service was slow on my most recent visit but still a 5 star for overall food quality. Don't be afraid to try their cocktails either - really a step above others. read more

From the service to the food, everything here is amazing. I highly recommend giving this place a try!

With Kristy and we were hungry for breakfast before grocery shopping. This cute restaurant is not far at all from my house! We didn't have long to wait for a booth since it was just us two and we got great service. Our waitress was very nice and accomodating. Had our drinks filled and checked on us a lot. Both of us ordered the Chiliquiles. Turns out I know the girls who bus tables here since I used to work with their mom! Small world! This is a great place. The food is delicious and the service is very good! I'll definitely be back again for breakfast and also to try lunch! read more

We did a hike at Silly Mountain Park and found this place. Had fantastic food and drinks. My Bloody Maria was excellent. Perfect spice and citrus balance. My Divorced Benedict has delicious. All enjoyed our food. We had Heidi's rancheros, avocado toast, breakfast and toast burritos and the corned beef skillet. Everyone loved it. Price is fair too!l. Best of all was Michelle our server. Funny spunky and perfectly attentive! Compliments to the kitchen, front of house and servers! read more

The breakfast was amazing and my server Mareena is so kind and always enjoys serving me when I come in! she rocks!

We tried this Hidden Breakfast place today and enjoyed our experience very much. We were greeted when we walked in and seated right away. We looked over our menus and were asked if we wanted drinks. Coffee was brought right out by out smiling waitress and ordered our breakfast. Very nice little place and very clean. We were seated near the window which I loved as I always like to look outside while I'm eating. Our food came out, I had a Scramble, and it was very good, and my wife had the 2-egg breakfast that was also very good. Food came out at a good temperature, which is always a plus for me. The service was very good, our waitress asked us a few times how we were doing and always made sure that coffee was filled. I will recommend this little eatery and will be back again soon. read more

The service and environment were not pleasant. I sat at the bar, next to a pile of dirty glasses and waited a few minutes for the bartender to acknowledge me. I remained hopeful because the reviews of the food and pictures looked awesome, but I was dissapointed. I could have made the Gio's favorite sandwich better at home! It lacked flavor and was served on boring white toast. Also, please be advised that the breakfast sandwich is not served with a side, which is peculiar because half of the plate is empty! So, I ended up ordering a side of potatoes. I also ordered one Nutella pancake but was surprised when they brought out the pancake with two Nutella packets on the side, I didn't realize it was "top your own pancake" style. The pancake itself was the best thing I had, it was fluffy and the syrup added good flavor. Although located close to my home, I will not be back. I'd rather go to my local First Watch, chain breakfast place. read more

What a great 1st experience! We sat at the bar. Danielle was tending the bar. She was friendly and fun and knowledge re: the menu/drinks ect. We ordered a mimosa & Bloody Mary. Both were really good & cold! Food was awesome! I had the Eggs Benedict & my Hubs had the chicken fried steak. I ordered the the hash browns and my husband ordered the home fries. Both were fresh & crispy, not the deep fried nuggets some places serve.(Thank you chefs!) We can't wait to return! All the staff were very friendly. Also, in the pic, the yellow that looks like egg yoke is their homemade habanero sauce....AMAZING! We will be back for sure!! read more

This place is a GEM ...And FRANKIE really makes it shine. Thank you Frankie and toast friends for a great morning and food

Stopped in for a bite to eat this morning and was very pleased with the service and food! The restaurant was busy, but we were quickly greeted and offered a smile. I love all the Knick knacks and different fun things around the restaurant making for a very homey feel. After a short wait, we were seated in a booth. We had multiple people stop by our table throughout the visit, all very happy to help and with pleasant smiles. Our server was Carly and she was an absolute gem. It was my first time in, but not for my cousin and uncle who I was dining with. Carly made me feel at home and like we had been good pals for years. The coffee, Bloody Mary, and biscuits with gravy meal were all so delicious! Carly was more than happy to allow me to customize my meal, subbing eggs for breakfast potatoes and bacon in place of the sausage which typically comes. It's nice to not feel like an inconvenience when you are wanting to change up a menu item. The coffee was served in unique mugs which I absolutely adored! Jamie stopped by for a chat and shared a story behind the mugs which made my heart happy as we all had mentioned how we love that the mugs differ from each other. Absolutely a 5/5 star experience. I will certainly be back! :) read more

Toast has been a delight to visit since going their first week opened. I've enjoyed breakfast the last couple of years, but had the pleasure of trying lunch for the first time & loved the burger! Don't sleep on lunch at this brunch spot. Carly, Jamie, Blanca, and all the staff make amazing food become a great dining experience! They are so friendly, remember my order, and suggest options when I'm feeling adventurous! Love having a quick chat while I enjoy the quant, festively decorated dining room or bar seating. I will frequent several times a month and continue to suggest this great locally owned and operated restaurant to support local! If you are local, don't forget in the summers you can visit the chamber for a shop local card and receive a discount at this establishment during the summer months. read more

10/10! My husband and I came for the first time around 10 am on a Sunday. We barely beat the rush but are so grateful that we came. The staff greet you with friendly faces & you can tell they all work very hard to accommodate the flow of traffic. It can seem a little crowded but my husband and I both agreed it makes the experience "homey." We tried the divorced Benedict (to DIE for) and the breakfast burrito (that came out straight from the stove) We immediately fell in love with this place and have told ourselves we'll come here over any other breakfast place nearby. :) Thanks!! read more

Love this place and love our server MUREENUH!! She's the absolute best, will treat you like royalty from the princess diaries while holding your drink for you as she poetically serenades the room with taylor swift (mureena's version). Great food, great vibes, and the GREAT Mureena!! read more

Marinara is the best hand down. Quick efficient and has the best recommendation's. Loved all the Taylor songs she kept spitting while making the ambiance immaculate. Will come weekly! read more

Hostess was very friendly and tried to work with my family and I. We requested patio seating and didn't mind waiting as we have a service animal. We were asked to show credentials which was not the worst part. After review the owner was playing messenger with the hostess which violated the ADA ( American Disablity Act) under US department of justice. We were asked what disability the animal was for. This treatment should not be given to anyone. Do not recommend this restaurant if you are disabled with a service animal! read more

Jamie B has been our server a couple of times here at Toast, amazing service. Her attitude is too notch and is really good about suggesting different things on the menu and helping with the multiple types of drinks. Their food here is so good with large portions and the ability to substitute. I would highly suggest stoping in for breakfast, brunch or lunch and ask for Jamie B she will take care of you. read more
