Coach House Restaurant

Typical diner place with usual egg and bacon type fixings. Not exactly as good as American greasy spoons (I lived in the us before and it doesn’t compare). Nothing memorable or stellar but good prices! For better Canadian breakfast food I reckon you’d do better at Cora’s or Insomnia for brunch.

Not bad or the price and service… love the home fries easy quick. Short walk from my place.

Good place for a no-​nonsense breakfast/​brunch.
Definitely a hole-​in-​the-​wall. There is a back room with more seating space. The group bill wasn’t separated for us, and when we tried to help the cashier separate our bills, she was not happy. Not happy that we were creating more work for her, and not happy that we were trying to help her by giving her the already calculated sums.
Definitely don’t order the chopped steak meal. I forget what it’s called but it was like eating a cut up hamburger. The rest of the food was good though and the prices are decent.

Great little hole in the wall diner with good food and good service. Ordered the Peameal and eggs and was satisfied with the quality and portion size.
Prices were also very reasonable for a downtown diner.

I come here frequently during the work week for lunch — it’s cozy, cheap, and has good food. Service is usually quick and friendly. I almost always get the same thing (gluten problems) — a western omelette with feta — but I don’t mind because YUM! My omelette runs me 11.95+tax (the cheese is extra), and comes with breakfast potatoes. It also comes with toast, but I skip it because gluten.

I wish I could give this place a higher rating but there were some mishaps. The food was way too salty (had at least three cups of water and more after leaving) and the busy staff couldnt handle the morning weekend crowd.
Food: 3/​5, it was really tasty but most likely due to the salt content as while it was good at the moment, it wasn’t great after. The fresh squeezed juice is also «meh» too much pulp.
Ambience: 3/​5, cool old diner feel and great for conversations. The seating could however be a bit tight for tall people.
Service: 2/​5, they messed up with our order and not much attention; this could be fixed with perhaps few more waiters or less of them just looking down. And you have to pay up in front. Is this a thing now downtown where they don’t serve you up to payment? Lol.
Price: 4/​5, relatively cheap at around $ 15 per person

Simply old fashioned old school breakfast place, as other Unilocalers mentioned, this is a ma and pa joint, very traditional, there is a hidden dinning room at the back, so don’t think it’s full if the front is all filled.
Price for food is decent, the portion is good for most hungry man or woman, there are a good selections of food from light breakfast to full lunch on the menu.
I ordered the super breakfast as its my first time here, 3 bacon, 3 eggs ham and 2 sausage with a choice of fries/​pancake/​French toast? I opted for pancakes as it is recommended by many Unilocalers, and it was definitely as good people say, the pancake although doesn’t look that great, but it taste AWESOME! It is definitely a must try if it’s your first time here, I will definitely come back again, and try their other items on the menu.
If u happens to be in the area give this classic joint a try, you will not regret.

Ok breakfast house.
Went in, sat myself, and ordered a big breakfast item from them. Came with eggs, saussage, bacon, potatos, and toast with jam.
Everything was pretty good, except for the potatoes, which seemed to have been the final batch they made before they switched to lunch orders. They were soggy, and the only thing remotely crispy were the burnt parts.
Service was friendly enough, I’ll probably come back to try a lunch item. But wont’ be coming back for their all day breakfast unfortunately.

Like a ma and pa’s diner. Can’t go wrong with the simple life. Breakfast here is good and reasonably priced. Hard to good and cheap eats in this neighbourhood.

In a Toronto ever more overrun by an infectious «brunch» plague that swallows twentysomehting and their wallets whole and a Yonge Street dotted with nothing but nefarious looking watering holes and completely missable (at best) looking chain restaurants, I was thrilled to discover the tiny booth lined, wood panelled and straight up unstylish Coach House, with its dirt cheap, delicious and heart attack causing breakfasts (9 dollars for a full three egg/​meat set with hashbrowns and waffle, anyone? LET’S SHORTEN OUR LIFESPANS), bizarre and typically local clientele, of which I am pleased to admit I probably am one of, and super friendly, omnipresent staff who will refill your coffee until you’re pretty much shaking in the pleather.
Like going commando with large, comfy sweatpant on, the Coach House is an «experience», but it’s a nice, cozy and delicious one you’ll want to repeat again and again.
My boyfriend and I come in here often, typically hung over and ready for eggs, syrup and joy on weekend mornings, and can usually snag a spot (and coffee, and sometimes fresh squeezed juice) almost immediately. We consistently get heart stoppingly bad for you fare for less than 25 dollars all in with tip— I particularly recommend the meat lovers omelette, the Coach House superbreakfast or some of the Greek specialties, although the menu is full of breakfast/​lunch classics, and it’s hard to go truly astray.
The only «real» downsides to be aware of here are
1) food service, while always nice and welcoming, can sometimes be slow if the place looks busy. It’s a bit unpredictable, but it helps you work up an appetite.
2)The staff, probably justifiably, look at me like I’ve just landed from Mars whenever I get ambitious and ask for healthier substitutions. They never, ever get them right.
Honestly, though, I didn’t really want tomatoes instead of toast anyway.

I wasn’t impressed with this restaurant. I was excited to try it after reading all these positive Unilocal reviews but I left pretty unhappy. Not only was the service slow (like beyond the level of slowness you would allow a relaxed diner to have), but our waiter never checked on us once to see if we needed anything. I ordered the hot beef sandwich and I found the gravy it was smothered in tasted way too salty. Also my fries tasted like they were from frozen. It was a big let down. At the end of our meal, our server (which I had to flag down) also forgot the takeout box I requested. I won’t be back.

On sat morning we were debating where to have brunch. I still insisted making coffee at home first before going out. some of the restaurant coffees are very questionable and I didnt want to take a chance.
So we found this cute little diner on yonge/​wellesley
Not too many selections on the menu, seems very basic stuff. I was mildly disappointed until the server brought a nice plate of souvlaki chicken plate to the patron next to me. souvlaki for breakfast… why not?
oh wow was i glad i did! it was such good tender flavorful, slightly charred, perfect cooked chicken with a generous greek salad along with fresh fries. mm-​mm!
huddy’s plate looked ok. think it was the breakfast with three eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, with waffles. i took a few bites, think i liked my soulaki wayyy better tho!
definitely will return. i was talking to the nice lady at the cash. This place has been here for 65 years. that’s just so amazing! the diners on yonge go in and out of business all the time and I’m just so very impressed it’s been here that long! awesome place, still going strong :) I’m a fan!
p. s. i heard coffee was also good. next time i wont pre-​make coffee at home.

Great deal for breakfast in the downtown core!
I had the big breakfast I cant remember the exact name but it has eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, breakfast potatoes and toast.
My friend had the chicken souvlaki
My breakfast was great and the price was good as well. About $ 10 for all that food.
My friend said her chicken souvlaki was good and shes greek so i think shes a pretty good judge.
the inside is old fashion like something out of the 80s and the staff is super friendly! This is a great homestyle breakfast place in the city id recommend it to anyone!

Visited today with family for breakfast. Sat in the inside cozy room which was dated but clean and comfortable. The rest of the restaurant is similarly decorated. But I liked it as it was frozen in a gone by era.
We had a veggie omelet, a spinach feta omelet, plain scrambled eggs and a waffle between the four of us. With coffees, milks and some extras we spent $ 60 taxes and tips included.
The food was delicious. The home fries were amazing. Both the omelets were packed with flavours and veggies and cheeses there were no skimping. The waffle was it was supposed to be crisp on the outside and soft inside.
The service was good. The coffee could have been a bit stronger.
Will visit again if is in the neighborhood.

Delicious, inexpensive and fast! All things that equal a great hangover joint!
When visiting Toronto, and in turn some family, we were looking for a Sunday brunch spot and my brother (a loyal coach fan) suggested we try here. Although packed with Sunday brunchers, we were seated immediately in the back area for extra seating. One thing I personally like in a greasy spoon, hangover spot is fast, but not too fussy, service! They were attentive but left us alone to eat and enjoy.
The food was delicious and simple but great value! Nothing too fancy but that was not what we were looking for and they delivered more than expected! Keep up the awesome work and if you are in the neighborhood I highly suggest it!

Ok, so I said I would review this place if I ever found it open, and I did!
Atmosphere: Nice clean greasy spoon atmosphere, just the way I like it.
Service: Smiling, friendly waitress, maybe too friendly… floating in sickly-​sweet perfume and more interested in flirting with the guy at the next table than serving me…
Food: I had the fish and chips, a small portion of haddock (I think), which was somehow cooked hard and chewy. Fries were frozen, whatever happened to real potatoes. No coleslaw or veg on the plate, so not much visual appeal. The amount of food barely covered half the plate, I was hungry when I left.
I wouldn’t go back.

My debit card was not working and my total was $ 7.90. I only had $ 5 cash and rather than cancel my takeout order, they kept saying, «don’t worry! It’s ok.» And let me pay $ 5. They could have pointed me to the nearest bank machine, but were happy to let me have my meal for $ 5. Excellent service! And my breakfast was delicious.

The Coach House is my go-​to spot for breakfast in the area. Whenever I arrive, the place is packed but you do not have to wait long for a table.
Service is quick and friendly. Their menu has classic breakfast & diner items which are priced extremely reasonable. You can’t beat their delicious home fries. They also make a decent cup of joe.
I highly recommend Coach House for a killer breakfast to start your day! (They also have some yummy lunch items as well)

This small husband and wife owned diner is a great breakfast spot. The front of house service from the wife is full of cheer and a home spirit. The kitchen service is quick and the husband is a great cook.
The food is good and the portions generous. I got the veggie omelette which was well stuffed with veg and came with toast and hash browns.
Go up to the register to pay when done.

As greasy a spoon as you’re likely to find in Hogtown, the Coach House is an institution in the way worn out record shops, strip clubs and historical crime scenes are.
Ducking in from a grimy section of Yonge street, diners are greeted by wobbly stools, cracked pleather booths packed too close for comfort, and a loose-​shirted older gentleman sweating behind the counter.
Service is insulting in the best diner fashion. Coffee arrives swiftly, though, and is refilled without asking. It won’t win any awards, but it’s good enough to chase a hangover.
Breakfast orders also arrive promptly.
Over-​easy eggs are perfectly cooked, but the yolks have burst somewhere in transit, spoiling a bit of the fun. A veggie omelette fares better (and likely healthier), but it’s eggs are cooked to dryness; the exterior just past caramelized. I never trust omelettes or scrambled eggs in places like this; I imagine someone opening a carton of pasteurized liquid egg-​like substance; I like to see what I’m getting.
Sausages are properly greasy and just-​charred.
A mound of home-​fried potatoes could have used a few more minutes on the griddle, but then I like my potatoes extra-​mushy.
Drowned in tabasco (no ketchup for me), it’s just what i crave.
Toast options are appropriately white-​or-​brown industrial sandwich loaf.
I wouldn’t take a business meeting here, unless I did something illegal. I wouldn’t bring my wife-​she deserves better, cleaner and less scary. But when I want to indulge the occasional Jack Reacher novel fantasy, the Coach House is home.

Un VRAI bon vieux «dinner» à l’américaine/la canadienne! Dès qu’on y entre, on est transporté dans les années 60 – 70. On a rapidement l’impression que la déco n’a pas changée depuis son ouverture, mais c’est ce qui fait le charme de la place. On y trouve tous les repas les plus courants comme deux-​oeufs-​bacon, des gaufres, du pain doré et des crêpes pour le déjeuner. La gaufre que mon chum a dévoré, et que j’ai goûté avant sa disparition rapide, était l’une des meilleures que j’ai mangé depuis un bon bout. Mes oeufs étaient très bien et les patates super bonnes mais quand même ordinaire comme repas. C’est vraiment l’ambiance du resto que j’ai apprécié le plus.
