6÷27÷15: I would say that this Canadian chain’s food quality is in the same group as our American Denny’s, but maybe a little less tasty. However, they took FOREVER to serve our food here. We waited so long for the food that when it did arrive we told them we had to go and had them pack it up cause we were already behind schedule. That really sucked.
1. Glass of Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice C$ 3.99: Definitely tasted fresh squeezed. Was good enough. ⁵⁄₁₀.
2. Peameal Provolone Melter C$ 8.99: After having our amazing peameal bacon at Carousel Bakery in Toronto, we were looking for the stuff everywhere! Well, this ain’t nothing at all like the Carousel’s version. Just a bunch of what we Americans call «Canadian bacon» in a sandwich. Fries were good, sandwich tasted okay, but nothing notable. ⁵⁄₁₀.
3. unknown breakfast sandwich?: Not sure what this was from the pictures, cause it doesn’t match any of the menu items I see. But anyway, I don’t remember anything about it, so I assume it was nothing special.
The food’s pretty standard. Again, just a bit worse than Denny’s, which is my calibrator for a 3. But since it took so amazingly long to get the food and kinda made us rush our trip, I think I’d rather just go to Denny’s…

My son and I stopped in here this morning for breakfast, I drive by every morning on the way in to work so I’d been meaning to try it.
We must have lucked out as we got the last table in the joint. We sat for over 5 minutes before we were finally acknowledged by our waiter. It was 11:30 am on a Saturday and the place was packed so I didn’t sweat it. Once our order was taken the coffee arrived in good time and our order didn’t take all that long after that.
My son ordered three eggs and bacon and I ordered the Montréal Smoked Hash and 4 eggs. Both orders came with toast and potatoes.
When the orders arrived my son’s plate was huge but looking at mine you could barely see the potatoes and smoked meat which were hidden under the eggs. There was barely any meat at all in the hash. My «over easy» eggs were cooked semi-​hard as well. I could have made a much better breakfast at home. At least they kept coming around with coffee refills. My son said his breakfast was fine, but then he wasn’t paying the bill.
$ 26 bucks plus tip. Ouch!
This place also has no waiting area, by the time we finished and walked out there were people lined up out the door and along the walkway. I don’t get it.
There are plenty of places for a great breakfast, I’ll pass on this one.

This place looks homie, and is meant to be that way, so expecting a bistro is laughable. There is a tiny waiting area, so if you come here at peak time, there may not be space to wait inside, just like most restaurants I know, so no one should ever complain about that. Service is good, considering I’m not at nor paying for a dine-​in restaurant, I’m happy with the service.
Alright, on with the food. I ordered the Smoked Salmon Egg Bennie. The presentation was perfect. Generous amount of smoked salmon, sauce, and perfectly cooked eggs. The home fries were good, but could be a little less mushy. I asked for soft egg, and it was poached to perfection. The only complain I have was the sauce. Yes, there were plenty of it, but it was bland. Good thing the smoked salmon has enough flavour to almost saved it.
With tips (no drink) my bill came under $ 15, so it’s interesting that some reviewers claim theirs cost $ 20. Oh well, always read reviews with a critical mind or you will miss out on good food and service.

Went at lunchtime, when a coworker decided he wanted a breakfast-​style lunch. I wasn’t feeling eggy, so I picked fish and chips. That was my first mistake. In hindsight, who orders fish and chips at a breakfast restaurant? The picture on the menu looked good. Turns out it’s nothing more than store-​bought Captain Highliner-​style fish. The coleslaw smelled like it had been sitting out for three days, and looked like slimy mush. The fries were those oversized, previously-​frozen type. They really should remove that option from the menu, as it doesn’t do them any favours.
Service was slow and inattentive. I had to ask for water twice. And we had to wait for almost 30 minutes to get our food. Total bill was almost $ 30.00 with tax and tip, for the both of us. For that price, I will go to an AYCE japanese buffet and spend my hard-​earned money on quality food and service.

This place is nearby my house, and on a day off with the car in the shop I walked to it. I wish I hadn’t. Very mediocre breakfast. Omelette was kind of cold with unmelted cheese and the add ins (I had meat and green peppers) didn’t taste very fresh, and it was bad. Rye toast was not toasted, which made it bread. Home fries were a bit cold in middle. Redeeming factor was the service, the girls were nice and didn’t mind refilling our coffees as we sat and waited for the car to be ready to pickup. Probably let us stay for close to two hours and were always checking on us.
Great service, bad food. Won’t return.

Under cooked potatoes, oversized price and incredibly slow service.

Pancakes and eggs with hash browns for $ 20. Ya. Ok. No.

Went on Friday with friends & was disappointed. I ordered an omelet, which was tough. The coffee was unpleasant. My friend asked for water 5 times before getting it.
Meh. Won’t be back.

When my sister and I arrived the place was PACKED! We noticed a few empty tables thinking that the people waiting will get to their tables so we and a few others can wait indoors. Well, unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.
A couple had come out saying they were told the wait was going to be 5 – 10 minutes, but they said they waited for half an hour. They said it’s not worth the wait. My sister and I decided to go next door to Starbucks and grab a warm latte and head somewhere else.
Whoever approved the designs for this location is lucky to have a design job. What kind of restaurant doesn’t have a waiting area for their customers? Oh wait, this place does… it’s called outside in the cold during winter season or tanning on hot temperatures. Brilliant!

I came here on a Saturday afternoon excited to try a new breakfast place, and the prices looked very reasonable. There seem to be more and more overpriced breakfast places popping up these days, so it’s reassuring to see a place charging well under $ 10 for an Eggs Benedict, and similarly good prices on other breakfast items. There was a bit of a line to get in (on a Saturday), which I took to be a good sign. It turns out that it may just be the dearth of quality breakfast places in the area that contributed to the wait.
After we ordered, we were told that our food would be ready shortly, which was reassuring because the place was quite full. 30 minutes later, our two breakfasts arrived. Unfortunately, my wife’s french toast was cold, and the bread wasn’t even soaked through with the batter — the middle was just plain white toast! I saw them put the french toast up on the hot plate table (at the end, where the heat lamps don’t reach) about 15 minutes before the rest of our meal, and it just sat there until the rest of the meal was ready!
The rest of the meal was average breakfast fare; the hash browns were decent but a bit salty (but who goes to breakfast expecting health food, anyways?). The pancakes were mediocre (they tasted like mix to me). The service was OK. I don’t think I’ll be going back, which is a shame because their prices are reasonable and they’re one of the closest breakfast places. Also, if they had simply said that there was a bit of a wait for the food as well, I think I would have been less disappointed that it took them 30 minutes to prepare two breakfasts. That wouldn’t have excused the cold french toast, though.

Great value for your money. The menu has many breakfast options, both traditional and unique (for example, egg scramble bowls). They also serve turkey bacon as a meat option, which is wonderful!
My only complaint is that you may have to wait for a bit after you order your food. We were only a group of four at our last visit, so not sure why there was a hold up. Overall, that won’t prevent me from going back.
