Flips Restaurant

This is the best breakfast place in Brampton. The price is steeper than some breakfast ($ 11-​$ 13 max) places but the amount of food you get is ridiculous. I’ve been to other breakfast places in Brampton and the price is just as high but the portions are small. The amount of food you will receive at this place is incredible for the price and the quality of food is even better. Would definitely recommend trying out the eggs benedict as it is the best I’ve ever tried along with the campfire skillet. Everything is quality here and definitely worth the wait when it’s busy.

I tried going there weekends. It’s pretty busy. I have picked up and the food was pretty good, the portions good size and pricing ok. The only major problem is I called to make an order and they hung up on me. I called again and they hung up again. Not the first time this has happened here. I assumed they either knew me or had made so much money they couldn’t care about mine. I decided to give one of the other restaurants in the area a chance to accept my money and they did so I guess it was good cash. I have not been back since Maybe there’s no tips in pick ups so nobody cares about you. I would rate it higher but if you’re good, you’re good all the time.

Not the fanciest décor but if you like really really like good food, this is the breakfast place for you. Great food at a great price. My favourite breakfast place. Located in north Brampton.

We checked this restaurant out on a Friday afternoon! Not too busy and very attentive service.
Our meals were quick to order and fresh!
We loved the quaint atmosphere and friendly staff. You get your money’s worth and lots of choices to choose from. Definitely worth checking out if your looking for a great breakfast!

Great and cheap place to eat. You need to have the grilled cheese and bacon sandwich.

Portions are large, but so are the prices. Two breakfasts cost me $ 30 to take out.
The person taking my order didn’t seem like she wanted to do a take out order.

Best breakfast in Brampton. The food is good and portions are massive. It’s always cooked perfectly. Because it’s so yummy but also affordable it gets insanely busy on weekends and the seating can be a bit cramped. But the food never takes long to arrive and it’s a nice place to actually spark up a conversation with other diners. Clean, friendly staff. Cash only.

This place totally redeemed itself and has become a regular option for my friends and I. My only issue is that the cooks need to pour more batter into the iron for the waffles or mix it thicker as it leads to waffles that are crispy on the outside, but not much in the middle.

Great breakfast spot. I was very surprised with the quality and service. Big portions and very reasonably priced. I’ll be back.

I haven’t been here in some time, but feel I should add my 2 cents and 2 stars to this Brampton staple.
To keep it brief, the food is okay — but nothing special, and too salty and greasy. I would say in and of itself it deserves a 3 star rating, but with the prices being too high, I’d say the lack of value brings it down to a 2.
Rant:
Flips, being one of few places specializing in breakfast in Brampton epitomizes how badly this town needs a good one. They’re always packed out so there’s clearly demand. I swear, if someone had money to invest in a place and connections to a good chef they would make an absolute killing. One can dream…

Been here twice already. The BEST breakfast spots i’ve ever been too. Food is AMAZING as well, its cheap! Just hope they can open up for bigger space as it is quite small in there. Def. will tell everyone about this place

Excellent food with consistent service. I’ve never seen the place empty and for good reason, this greasy spoon diner is a Brampton breakfast/​brunch hotspot. From the eggs to the pancakes, they’ve got it down. My only complaints are they don’t take debit and overcharge for orange juice. But overall, whether you’re visiting Brampton, or you’re living here and haven’t had Flips, make plans to eat here.

I’m at Flips once if not twice a week, because the food is awesome. The portions are huge, and the pricing is very reasonable. I usually have the breakfast, either bacon and eggs or the light breakfast. The price is amazing for both, and sometimes you even get a free pancake! Love it there :-)

This place serves your regular breakfast food, with a side of really bad attitude.
I’ve been twice and def won’t go again after my most recent experience.
First the good — the food. Big portions, nice home fries, amazing soft Belgian waffle. Price wise it is just ok and not a steal of a deal.
The bad — in this day and age, they only take cash. So if you don’t know you’ll be forced to use their ATM machine which charges a $ 2 fee plus ur own bank’s fees; ridiculous. Why don’t they offer free debit/​interac like the rest of the world??? Just cheap unnecessary cost saving measures. Also the restaurant is very small, seating is cramped so you will almost surely wait to be seated and then be sitting elbow to elbow with strangers.
The UGLY — the day I went there was a manager onsite named Chris. I had ordered one of their specials that came with eggs one meat home fries and a belgian waffle. First I asked to split my meat eg half bacon, half sausage. They said no. I was miffed but ok whatever I went with sausage. Then I asked for my waffle to be made & brought out later, after I was done eating my savoury stuff (so it would be fresh and not get cold sitting on my plate). The waitress informed me that per Chris they could not do this. Could not? Or WOULD not? SO confused, I asked then spoke to their manager Chris who very rudely informed me that they refused to hold my waffle order til later (ie could have but would not) bcuz they were «too busy» and refused to heat up my waffle if it did get cold after they brought it out the same time as my savory food. When I voiced my dissatisfaction with Chris’ answer he then suggested I just order my savoury food first then place a second separate order for the waffle by itself, which would have cost me almost double the price of the breakfast special! I pointed this out to Chris and he refused to give me the breakfast special pricing and instead told me I didnt have to eat there. I was soooo shocked! I said you’re right Chris, I don’t and I left immediately. Never again!!!
Just bad customer service for NO apparent reason.

Big line up on NYE morning (as I should have expected on the last day of the year!) at Flips. As others have mentioned, the seating is pretty tight so expect to get to know your neighbours as we did that day ;)
Food is decent, portions are redonkulous (the plates are almost bigger than the tiny tables), value is great. I just wish their coffee was a bit better, but I suppose you get what you pay for!
Flips is a solid breakfast option in Brampton IMO.

Flips is a regular stop for us. I love the food, prices, and service. They have all manner of breakfast specials ranging from «light fare» to «meat salad», and even lunch and dinner items. I usually get the bacon and eggs with rye toast, and my husband usually gets the Campfire Skillet (the aforementioned «meat salad»).
I pondered a 5-​star review because I’m a big fan, but there are a few annoyances:
It gets crowded fast, and seating is a little too intimate. It’s a strangers-​right-​on-​top-​of-​each-​other thing. I might not mind how busy Flips gets if there were a good place to wait, but there’s no place to queue other than the very small spot in front of the door. Often we go somewhere else if we sleep late on a weekend because we know it will be difficult to get a seat without awkwardly waiting around the entrance.
Flips, I beg of you: add an addition!

The fact that my boyfriend and I go here almost every weekend for breakfast/​brunch says it all.
Portions are massive, cost is cheap, and options are limitless. They have a variety of breakfasts available (pancakes, waffles, bacon, eggs, sausage, yogurt, etc., etc.), so you’ll likely find something for everyone! Their side dishes are great, too. You can pick from pancakes, bacon, eggs, fruit, grilled tomatoes, and many more.
I always get the «Breakfast My Way» with 4 sides (around $ 9) containing 1 massive/​thick strawberry pancake, 2 sides of fresh fruit, and 1 side of home fries. Fills me right up. My boyfriend usually get a dish containing bacon, sausages, eggs, toast, and fruit.
What keeps this place from 5 stars:
— it’s tiny & packed. You’re basically going to sit elbow-​to-​elbow to the people at the next table. Hope they don’t smell too badly of B.O.
— there’s always a wait if you go after 10am. And no space to wait. You’ll pretty much be trying to find 1 available squared-​foot to stand in, often knocking the elbows of the poor people trying to eat breaky. Expect a 15-​min wait minimum.
— a couple times, my boyfriend’s bacon has come out burnt, and he’s had to send it back.
— they do not understand the concept of over-​medium eggs (my boyfriend’s preference), so he has just started ordering scrambled.
— they are super busy, and the servers sometimes forget if you ask for something (ie. a refill of water, maple syrup, or hot sauce)
But the quality and quantity of the food is well worth it! Which is why we’ll be a repeat customer until they day they close down!
**THEY DO NOT ACCEPT DEBIT/​CREDIT** But there is an ATM machine inside, if you don’t mind the service charge. Last time I was there, I saw a sign in the window saying «debit/​credit coming soon», so this may change in the near future!

Love this place! Super popular on the weekends for good reason. I came in at 2pm (an hour before it closes) and it wasn’t as bad. We managed to get a spot quickly and order. Their portions are huge for the price. You can get a light breakfast for $ 6 and a very large meal for $ 12 – 14. It’s cash only though but they have an ATM inside.
The home fries and the sausages were really good. The sausages were a bit on the salty side but it balances out with everything else. I don’t know what the guy below was talking about when he mentions everything was salty — the eggs were bland and you salt it yourself.
It’s kinda far but I’m willing to make the trek!

Amazing food. Especially the chocolate chip pancakes and home fries. It’s a small family run restaurant so the food isn’t like most fast food places.
It’s pretty small inside so usually a longer wait especially on weekends.
They only take cash remember that.

I was looking for to eating here for quite some time. The place has a really nice old country style inn feel and the staff are friendly. There is always a line up and it always looks like it is worth the wait.
We waited for about 15 minutes for a table and our expectations were extremely high. The portions and plates are HUGE so make sure you come here hungover and super super hungry to get your moneys worth.
I ordered they usual eggs, bacon, french toast, and home fries. Everything looked okay until I realized that everything tasted like salt. There was salt in everything and it was hard to eat. The french toast was horrible and it tasted like bread dipped in a really bad egg. The eggs tasted like powdered eggs and were extremely hard to eat.
Overall, I left flips disappointed and will not go back. Maybe they were having an «off» day or maybe my expectations were too high… regardless… Flips was an utter fail for food.
