Passing by the area and dropped in for a breakfast. Enjoyed my 3 eggs, bacon, hash browns, coffee and orange juice package. It was nice to see orange juice included in my selection. Bacon was nice and crispy along with my hash browns. Service was polite, pleasant and quick. Restaurant was clean and well organized for seating purposes. No issues or concerns. read more

This morning when my sister and I were searching for a Sunday morning brunch restaurant, we ended up settling on Windfield's. While it was busy, and there were a lot of families and large groups there, we were able to sit down immediately. The parking was readily available in front of the restaurant, and we could see multiple servers and a host all working. While we ordered rather quickly, and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time, it took quite a while to refill water, have someone check on us, or get the check. I certainly understand restaurants being busy, though it would have helped for the servers to help each other's tables as need be like other restaurants I've been to. The food though was very good! We all ordered from the All Day Breakfast. I ordered the "All Day Breakfast" consisting of 3 eggs any style (I ordered scrambled), with bacon, ham or sausage (I picked bacon), toast and French fries. My sister ordered a Mediterranean Omelette, which came with onions, red and green peppers, mushrooms, and feta. She also ordered sweet potato French fries, which should have been only $1 more but we were charged $4 or so more by accident (and we didn't catch that until we got home). My cousin ordered the "3 Eggs" breakfast consisting of 3 eggs any style served with toast and French fries. Again, everything tasted great and was prepared well. I have memories of family members taking me to Windfield's as that used to be my grandmother's only go-to restaurant. She would go there for any meal, and while I think we all would roll our eyes when she would suggest we go there (as it was so often), I've come to realize that she enjoyed going for the community. She knew the servers and host well and also many of the patrons who were regulars there with their families. My grandmother would walk from table to table saying hello to many familiar faces while making new friends and learning what they were eating. While my grandmother is now 100 years old, she rarely leaves home for meals. My sister, my cousin, and I enjoyed our breakfast there today, and my sister recognized the server while I recognized the host. We showed a photo to our server, and she immediately recognized my grandmother and my aunt and asked about them. As the website (https://www.windfieldsrestaurant.com) states, Winfield's is "A Taste of Home." It has been "serving families since 1994" including my family from the very beginning since they opened. I will likely be back there with other family members on future visits! read more

Reviews say this place is affordable. Two eggs, toast, and coffee would be $5.99 anywhere else. This place charges $22.95!!! Beyond outrageous! I'm pretty sure Windfield's doesn't lay golden eggs or serve artisan baked bread from a centuries-old wood oven, and coffee--well it's coffee. If you care about value, don't go here. And I didn't even include the tip in this. read more

By far One of the best chicken souvlaki I have had in a long time The chicken was cooked to perfection, nice and juicy and not over cooked. The potatoes were beyond flavourful And The Greek salad was loaded with feta cheese( in my opinion what makes a Greek salad!) Only four stars because this is my first of many future visits It could be raised to five stars if they meet my high standards Let's see But The potential is there with their great souvlaki dinner read more

Thrilled with the variety on their menu, the comfy vintage ambiance and the fact I could bring my parents in their 90's and my nephew in his 20's. It's a true family restaurant! read more

I have been here a couple of times now. Once was years ago when I used to work in the area and recently I came back for dinner with some family. It is a classic diner style ambiance, very comfortable and can't go wrong with it. I found the service to be friendly and prompt with everything. The main dish I like to order at these types of diners is a souvlaki dinner, this time I opted for the chicken Souvlaki. My husband had the pork. The tzatziki sauce had too much dill and although still enjoyable, it wasn't great. Otherwise the meal was average. Nothing special but everything was well and decently cooked. Since I've had better Souvlaki elsewhere, I am not likely to come back here. read more

Had 7 pm reservation for 7 people outside and arrived on time. Our orders were taken by 715 Three of our party ordered pork souvlaki 1 had sole and the other three beef liver and onions. Garlic bread came out in 5 minutes then we waited for the food for 45 minutes. My 93 year old mother in law complained and was told that a party of 20 was being served hence the kitchen delay. The worst thing was that the pork souvlaki was very cheery and inedible one order was exchanged for chicken which was ok. No further compensation for the delay or poor quality pork. Liver and fish dinners were ok. Not planning to return. read more

Thumbing through my list of bookmarks, I could have sworn that I reviewed Windfield's before...but then, if my memory fails me that would put me on a par with most of the other diners...and the wait staff...and the decor. Windfields is in one sense a time capsule, hearkening back to a time when even a diner kinda place boasted carpeted floors and plush banquettes and chintz as far as the eye could see. A unifromed wait-staff moseying back and forth between tables, and solid if unspectacular food. And unspectacular is the word. You can count on most of what you order to be over rather than undercooked, and concessions to individual doneness preferences are observed in their breach. To be honest, it's the kind of place my grandmother loved. Non threatening, relatively healthy, bereft of food-borne illness due to incineration, vegetables cooked to drinkability. A clientele that mirrored her and her tastes. Not my cup of tea (in this case, red rose, in one of those infernal tin pots)...or coffee...(weak and tepid), but it meets a need. read more

Excellent place!!!! Anything on the menu is good. Big portions and taste very good. The rib eye steak was cooked perfectly. And the salmon was amazing. We sat outside because of the Covid restrictions but it was a nice afternoon with a breeze. The servers and the owners are wonderful. Very nice polite and make you feel like home. I always look forward to coming here and especially with our long time friends Randy and Robyn. Great restaurant read more

A nice variety of food on the menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There's something for everyone and it all tastes good. Great food and service. read more

Family restaurant with an abundance of dishes, none very good. Mostly frozen patties microwaved before serving them to unsuspecting customers. Friendly service. read more

Great food and quantity but high prices. Would recommend a small version of each dish for 50% of the cost. Especially if pivoting the business toward the younger crowd. The chicken salad for example was enough for 3 people at $20. Love the friendliness of the staff and small town feel when inside the restaurant. Will definitely come back. Must try: souvlaki, french onion soup, potato skins read more

Dinner is way overpriced for what you get. Had the hot roast beef. Gravy was not real beef gravy and there was too much of it. Roast potatoes are good which made me think that I should have stayed in the Greek part of the menu. Salads are crazy expensive and no small side salad option. Garlic bread was good and typical of what you get at Greek restos. Service started out good but slipped dramatically as the night wore on. I hear it's better for breakfast and lunch. read more

My family has been coming here for years, This place is amazing ! The food has always been good and so has The price. Most importantly so is the service, the hard working staff always assures that their customers are always satisfied. Probably the best family owned restaurant I've ever been to. I've got a lot of great memories thanks to them. read more

Getting overpriced. Poor service can't modify an order like they have in the many years past. Maybe it was the kid waiter who can't think outside the box... maybe it was an uninspired relative of the owners? I don't feel I'll come back. Plenty of other restaurants with better service. read more

Great all around menu. They have everything (Canadian, Greek, Italian) just to name a few. If I'm not sure what to eat around my area this place is the place to go since their menu is so vast. Portions are massive with great prices. Service could be better but most of the staff is older so it's expected. read more

I come to this restaurant for special and social occasions. The food before the pandemic was delicious!! I'm not sure exactly what happened because their pork souvlaki before the pandemic, was flavorful and not pink. My pork souvlaki was pink today and they used pork shank instead... or some different cut of pork. It wasn't as tasty and it was dry... and pink? I hope mine was cooked properly. Maybe today was an off day so I'll give them another chance... but look at the difference between before and after the pandemic... these are the same dishes, pork souvlaki read more

Awesome restaurant. The food is amazing, the portions are large and the staff is friendly. I have been coming here since I was born and will definitely continue to do so!!! The menu has so many options and the family vibe is very nice and laid back. read more

The decor of this place is hideous, it's a horse racing theme which is so dated. It also seems like the only people who come here are in their 60s. I got the mussels and there was soo much garlic in it! And considering it also comes with garlic bread it's just gross. read more

Windfield's Restaurant - Mussels with Garlic bread - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - North York, Ontario

Found this place on Yelp and thought I'd give it a shot cause I was in the area. The venue itself is super nice for a diner. It's got a horse racing theme, which I personally don't understand but it it is modernized and clean. Unfortunately the service was extremely slow. The entire breakfast experience took about an hour and change and the place was extremely empty. The food though was quite good. I ordered the Mediterranean omelette (egg white) - worked out to about $14. Had green and red peppers, mushrooms, onions and feta cheese. It was served with home fries and toast. Although it was good in flavour, it was not worth $14. Coffee was an extra couple bucks taking the bill up to about $20 including tax and tip. Service speed, quality, and price are not balanced. Decent place if you want to drop a pretty penny on an average breakfast. read more

Get the French onion soup it is fantastic. We go here for a reasonably priced meal and we get it. The staff are very friendly (although the last time we went 2 servers were arguing loudly and for a long time) and the food arrives fast. read more

Had their all day breakfast and it wasn't bad. Mind you, it's hard to mess up on a breakfast meal of eggs, sausage, peameal bacon, homefries & toast. You get more bang for your buck here as the portions are very kind. Only one visit, but I'll return. read more

We were impressed more on our second visit. The first one had gone fine, but we returned with 2 hungry young men-the grandsons! As soon as we stepped through the door, the boys were handed colouring books and crayons. Well that took care of their entertainment. The food is genuine, well prepared and tasty. The owner is Greek, and is proud of what the kitchen puts out. We ordered grilled cheese sandwiches with fries for the boys, and I had my favourite: a Greek Village Salad. My wife had a hamburger, which she said was tasty and well prepared. The fries were excellent and the service was great. The decor is a bit dated (Equine-Windfield Farms??), but the place is super clean and inviting. It seems to be largely a family affair, and the devotion and effort show immediately. This is a good place to take the kids and/or grand kids. They will have a good time and will like the food. We will probably take the boys there almost every time they visit. We all liked it! read more

Really enjoyed Sunday brunch at Windfields. This is a family run restaurant that takes the time to get to know each and every customer that walks in the door. I had been here maybe a year ago for dinner and they remembered me! That says a lot. Great service from the wait staff and the owner took time to come sit with us for a few minutes as we finished our meal. They really go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The regular menu (lunch/dinner) is quite extensive so I was a bit disappointed when the brunch menu was so tiny. But fear not! Anything you want - they will make whether its on the menu or not! So I had an amazing omlette (came with a gigantic plate of home fries and toast) but not one of the ones on the menu. No extra charge for adding/changing ingredients - who does that in this day and age? Fantastic!! The breakfast specials are really good deals (juice/coffee/eggs/meat/potatoes) and the portion sizes are hefty. I couldn't even remotely finish my meal. So make sure you are hungry! The place gets packed with regulars so suggest coming early or making a reservation. Will be back for sure! read more

For the 18 years that I lived in the area, I had never stepped foot inside of Windfield's. I had always heard about this restaurant and had driven past it numerous times. For the 30 years that my dad had lived in the area, he had never been here either. We finally decided one night to see what it was all about. Granted that Windfield's has been around since the dawn of the earth, there had to be something special about here. Needless to say, we were both extremely disappointed. I got the french onion soup with the veal parm. My dad got the AAA roast prime rib of beef (Medium rare) with the soup of the day. Both soups were average. Nothing special about it but nothing to complain about either. It's hard to mess up french onion soup and Windfield's was able to maintain that standard. Sadly, my veal parm was below average. There was a lot more spaghetti than there should have been and the spaghetti was overcooked and didn't taste like it had been seasoned properly when cooked. The tomato sauce tasted like it came out of a can. The veal parm was also pretty below par as well and didn't have much seasoning to go along with the canned tasting tomato sauce. My dad's prime rib came out medium well to well done and was pretty chewy. There also was little to no seasoning on it as well. By then, I was pretty disappointed but figured that maybe their large selection of desserts that they had showcased in front would be good. I ordered an apple pie while thinking that this could be really good because it looked really good. Sadly, I was let down again. For an establishment that has been around since the dawn of time, I was very disappointed. It took my dad 30 years of living in the area to finally go there and took me 30 years of my life to finally enter there. Sadly, it will take another 30 years before my dad or I go back. read more

I have been coming here frequently and is now my favourite new coffee spot. The waitresses know my family now so they always reserve a corner booth for us. For those who really like their breakfasts, as in all day breakfast, you can do no wrong with the 3 egg with sausage/bacon/ham combo and potatoes. Add to that a nice strong hot cup of coffee and let the day slowly unfold. As per my previous review, regulars are abundant here, but I can see why. At the end of the day, despite the food being good, it's not WOW, but rather, you come here for that warm service. I don't mind being called Hun and sweetheart by an elderly lady...especially if that comes with a warm slab of apple pie. My dad on this occasion had the spaghetti bolognese which is just the perfect balance of tomato and meat. For the Sunday brunch, we decided to order our individual meals plus order a side of fluffy pancakes. Perfect to share for 3 people. This place is really homey and is not expensive. Comfort food at its best. read more

I'm surprised no-one has actually reviewed this place yet. I guess it's just an overlooked gem. Been eating here for years on and off. Never been disappointed. They have a menu for all price range so weather on a budget or not you can get a filling meal. Everything from appetizers, pasta, Hot sandwiches, to Lamb and seafood to Late night Deserts. Guess i've made my way through the menu over the years and have yet to find anything i didn't like. If you come for breakfast you get the same gargantuan portions you get for lunch or dinner. They Use huge plates and don't leave much open space on them. If your looking for a good place for family casual dining this is it. Most people i've ever brought there still go there many years later. I guess it's a testament to the value and consistency of the food. read more

This place is easy to miss, as it kind of gets lost amidst all of the other chain restaurants nearby. Although this little family restaurant is mostly (and almost exclusively it seems) frequented by a 50+ crowd, its become a comfortable option for me when looking to fill the belly. The place serves a range of food options, including souvlaki, pastas, stir-fry, pub food etc. Although one of their popular items, I am not a fan of their souvlaki - a bit too dry and bland for my taste. The toasted garlic bread is worth a try at Windfield's. What I've returned here for is their Philly Hoagie (Cheesesteak). How can you not love a buttered bun filled with hearty chucks of actual steak; jammed with sauteed peppers, onions, and mushrooms; and topped off with loads of baked mozzarella? The servings here are quite large - expect to be filled, and them some! Service has been friendly each time I've been here. read more

This family run Greek style restaurant has been in business for 40 years for a good reason! Every dish is good and comes with impressive portion and low prices. A bit of everything is sold here. So far I've had burger, fish and chips, souvlaki, lamb, seafood chowder, breakfast, wings, salad and so on and such, for which I have nothing but praises. Service is stellar. We are always treated with warm hospitality like part of the family. The restaurant looks dated but it is always clean showing the family's commitment to the business! Lots of regulars come here including me and my parents so foods are always guaranteed to be good as they don't want to drive us away and they are appreciative of our patronage! read more

We were in the neighbourhood last evening, so we stepped into this neighbourhood gem by chance. Oh, I really enjoyed this accidental encounter. This is a neighbourhood family restaurant hidden in a strip mall. The outside looks unassuming. There are many "Best of 2YYY" decals at the entrance, ensuring visitors that this is a good place. The interior decor is dated but clean (nothing is broken). The service is friendly though not the quickest. We ordered fish & chip ($14), halibut steak ($17) and calamari ($10). They all tasted good and of rather generous portion. The calamari was about 50% more than a regular portion. The halibut steak was delicious and came with lots of broiled vegetable. The fish and chips were crispy fried. Oh! I was very impressed by the potatoes. Please try their roast potatoes and fries. We had so much leftover that my BF's next dinner was taken care of. All in all, we loved the meal. read more

Found this place by accident. Apparently it was owned by the legendary horse racing stable Winfield farms. This is a must visit for any Canadian horse racing fan - this would be the equivalent to Wayne Gretzky's. Food was great, service was great, and prices were very reasonable. Portions were very large. Decor looks like its from the 70's but its very well maintained. Definitely coming back here. In terms of what we ordered: Mussels - excellent Chicken souvlaki - great Prime rib - no good, dont order this Garlic bread - excellent Steak and shrimp fajitas - steak not so good, shrimp was excellent Seems like they aren't too good with their beef, but everything else was great. read more

This place has been around forever. My friend loves coming here when he's in town. I probably come here once a year. The souvlaki is pretty good. I got for the pork, and he gets the lamb. It really gets busy around lunch time. We were here around noon, but by 12:30pm it was packed. There's parking out back as well as in front. Right now there's a lot of construction in the area, so give yourself extra time to get there. The seats were spacious, I was able to fit a car seat on the bench with me, in case anyone is looking for a child-friendly eatery, this definitely qualifies. read more

Food - 3 Service - 1 Just as other Yelpers pointed out, the restaurant is old. It seems like they didn't renovate the restaurant for 15-20 years. The price is decent, not cheap but not expensive. When I tried the pasta, it was good but there was nothing special about it. The service was 2.5/5 but I'm going to deduct some points. Here's my complaint: One day, I was just passing the restaurant to go to RBC which is in the same plaza. All of the sudden, manager/owner came out of the restaurant started yelling at me because she thought I parked at the restaurant's parking space. UMMMM.. I didn't drive to go to RBC; I walked. When I told her, the manager/owner just stormed back into the restaurant..WITHOUT APOLOGIZING. From that day, I never returned to Windfield's Restaurant. I didn't want anymore service or food from rude people. read more

We stoped in for breakfast while our car was being worked on at a nearby garage. I had the eggs benny and my wife had the Mediterranean omelet. We were both surprised by the portion size and the flavor. $24 gets + tax/tip gets you a substantial and tasty breakfast for two people. Great value, friendly staff, and good food. If you're hungry for breakfast and are in the area, it's definitely worth stopping in. read more

This definitely is a restaurant that attracts the geriatric BUT it is pretty much your standard diner fare. French onion soup was surprisingly tasty and I enjoy the burgers. I think it's worth coming for breakfast especially since Cora's across the bridge is far more pricey (but quality and presentation surpasses Windfield's). Do not order the Benny! I don't know why in god's name I thought ordering eggs Benedict from here was a feasible idea; yolk was not runny at all and pretty much resembled the yolk of a boiled egg. Hollandaise sauce was goop. Stick with what you would typically order at a diner. read more

This is a breakfast review. Plain and simple do not go here if you enjoy your food. The eggs Benedict was a joke. The ham was the size of Manitoba, the eggs runny like the Nile river and overall very weak. The Mediterranean omelettes were burnt and flat of taste. Fake peaches, fake maple syrup for the French toast. Overall a very poor bunch. Service was quite OK. read more

Thought I'd give this place a go again since everyone goes on and on about their breakfasts. Clearly from my last experience I thought maybe take out wasn't the way to go, maybe eating in was. I was wrong!!! Clearly the reason why everyone in the place is under 6 or over 60, because both generations care nothing about food quality. I took my friend out for breakfast.. Took 10 minutes to bring us coffee. Ordered a large juice, and got a 6 oz glass of juice. If that's the large then how small is the small? 3 oz? At 3 something a glass I would hope for more than that. We both ordered the eggs benni and a side of bacon. Bacon came cold, like it was fried the day before and sat in a pan under the heating light, and our eggs were over cooked. Hard to the point where I had to use a knife to cut them. Couldnt let the amazing yolk run down. The sauce tasted strongly of mayo, not sure what they were thinking there, and the "home fries" we're not home fries at all, but boiled potatoes that had been half mashed and topped with paprika.. Maybe to suit the clearly regular old people who can't chew hard things.. The bill came to 40$ which I thought was high price for cold bacon, undersized juice and half mashed potatoes... This place is clearly a joke and meant for the elderly. The staff focused more on the tables around us then us, and left a bunch of dirty plates piling up on the table beside us..like that was their drop off station instead of taking them to the kitchen. I guess that's how they clear tables there... I'll never go back. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to come here for a quick lunch during my break since it was close to my work and I suppose it's a decent restaurant. It had a surprisingly large menu and the prices weren't too pricey, but I wouldn't consider it as cheap either. I ordered the chicken quesadilla, and although it is under starters, it is definitely filling enough to serve as a meal. Overall I thought the quesadilla was pretty good. Very good portion, and strangely enough it had a sweetness to it which actually turned out well for me. It also comes with 3 dippings: salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. Frankly, I only stuck with the sour cream b/c the guacamole tasted bad and looked unappealing, and the salsa was quite literally shrimp cocktail sauce. My boyfriend got the fettucine alfredo, and it wasn't very good. The alfredo sauce had a weird test to it that didn't taste like a typical alfredo sauce. However, although the dish doesn't look very big, it was actually very filling, but nonetheless I was not pleased by the poor presentation of the dish. It was quite literally just pasta in a bowl, no garnish or anything. There wasn't even parmesan cheese or pepper on type, so it looked quite bland. Overall, I would probably come here for a quick lunch for convenience sake. It's a pretty average restaurant, nothing in particular for me to hold against them, but nothing really for me to want to return all the time either. read more
