Dirty Food Eatery

Delicious brunch with family at Dirty Food Eatery. Have the home fries - we all thoroughly enjoyed them. Among us we had Salmon Jonny, Chicken & Waffle, The Basic and Peach Jonnycakes. Portions are generous enough that several of us had leftovers. Highly recommended! September 21, 2025 H&S, F, C&J

Home fries are out of this world! As was the fried tomato (substitute for bacon) on the eggs Jenny. The portion sizes are huge-you could easily split a dish with someone. Or better yet, order one sweet and one savory to share. Love that there are seasonal ingredients and flavors incorporated into the menu. Will definitely be coming back to try lunch!

Enjoy the phenomenal breakfast experience with friends. It was very high to recommended and every dish was prepared with a lot of thought and detail considering these were basically just breakfast sandwiches. The "home fries" are actually potatoes pavé! We had a fabulous time and service was very warm and friendly. For sure we would love to come back and sample more of their dishes!

This place is now one of my favourite brunch place in the city! The flavours are light, but the quality does not dissapoint! The service was FAST and we loved the brisket and trout benny. Will be back! (And yes, the home fries are a must try. It's the layered potatoes that you might have seen on socials)

portions were huge price is fair service is nice and semi attentive food was good but needed more flavour too tight knit

Great brunch spot in the Junction. There is an online virtual waitlist to join, but it went fast. Crab lobster Benny was great!

Delicious food, friendly staff, varied menu. Nice looking special dinner menu too! Home fries are incredible and unlike I’ve seen anywhere else. So much love put in to them! They were out of chicken when I went. Guess I’ll have to go back because clearly it’s a hit! Gluten free options

A nice little place in the Junction for some of the best breakfast potatoes I've had in a long time (potato pavé)! Their bennys are cooked to perfection, with golden orange runny yolks and a lovely staff that's welcoming and warm from the moment you step in. We also took a cinnamon bun to go and it was delicious. Looking forward to trying the rest of their menu!

This is my go-to brunch spot in the Junction, especially if I want to impress! Everything is made with care and attention, and is downright delicious! Portions are generous too! It's very popular and cramped inside (but not uncomfortable), so do give yourself enough time, get on the waitlist go for a stroll through the neighbourhood and get back out front when you're number 1 or 2!

This is a great brunch spot in the junction that oozer charm and coziness matched with an awesome, slightly southetn inspired menu. Out group tried the Biscuits and gravy, shrimp Benny and brisket Benny as well as fried green tomato, kids apple johnny cakes and grilled cheese. The portions are generous. The chicken with the biscuits and gravy were 2 pieces of brined dark meat chicken served on a biscuit and collards smothered in pork gravy. Chicken was very juicy and super crunchy, collard needed some acidity, biscuit was light but a little overdone and gravy was not as fat a decadent than in the south, lighter but still tasty, wish they poured it a little more generously. The fried green tomato was outstanding as the accompany silly aioli situation was great. Kids apple jonnycakes were a hit and loved the hot chocolate with mini marshmallows for the kiddos. Gtilled cheese was a hit - got the pull and the bread was well toasted. The home fries were a bit of a let down. Although very cool and layered, they seemed very greasy, maybe oil or flattop wasn't hot enough? Benny's were both good, shrimp cake was well cooked and crisp and brisket was flavourful and moist. Hey have no waiting area and take no reservations. Use their call ahead service and enjoy

If you don't get anything here, you have to get the fried potatoes!! They're deliciousssssss. Everyone pretty much enjoyed their food, but the French toast. They said it was very doughy. The drinks were really good and the service was quick. I'd get there early because there's not many seats. It's a small homey restaurant

Really great brunch! We came here on a weekday morning and there were still plenty of seats. We both got the salmon eggs benny. I got the spicy fries as a side and my bf got the home fries which I was a huge fan of. The home fries are like packed sliced potatoes that are fried afterwards. They were SO GOOD. We had the eggs benny with fresh pepper and salt. I also got a chai latte which was very tasty. I wasn't a huge fan of having the salmon with the pancake as it was a bit too heavy for me but I still liked the combination. There was also a hint of sweetness so it was a hint of sweet and savoury. Service was great and the restaurant is so cute and lowkey.

Something Benny is always a great idea! This brunch spot has some of the best breakfast potatoes in not only the junction, but Toronto! Also, BLUEBERRY SWEET'CAKES- vegan & gluten free. Hands down the best gluten free pancakes I've ever had. Service is great, they're only open for a small window of time and they don't take reservations. You have to go on a waitlist unless you get there early or you get lucky, because of this short window, the service is always fantastic and the severs are on it! Ambiance is a nice hole in the wall met by locals, mostly couples, sometimes families

Pierogi was the best. Excellent service. Make sure to join the wait-list, this place is hopping and can be up to an hour wait if you haven't added yourself to the wait-list before heading over. I'll be back.

What a gem of a restaurant! My wife and I are always on the hunt for the perfect combination of great food and excellent service - and we were lucky enough to stumble onto both with Dirty Food Eatery! Drawn in by the enticing menu and the stellar reviews, we set our sights on the Brunch menu, specifically something I've never tried before but always wanted to: Chicken 'n' Waffle - Buttermilk fried chicken on a 1/2 waffle w whipped honey butter, candied jalapeños, jalapeño syrup and spicy pickled peaches. For our choice of side, we'd heard nothing but rave reviews for their home fries - which were no ordinary home fries: "thin sliced buttery layers of potato goodness, baked then fried". Our fates were sealed! And what a plate of comforting goodness it was. Everything worked beautifully together - even the pickled peaches, about which I'd had my doubts. But they provided the perfect acidic counterpoint to all the sweet and spicy richness. BUT, as always, great food means absolutely nothing without great service - you might lure us in with your tantalizing menu, but that doesn't guarantee we'll return. Thankfully, our server, Sienna, was terrific! She was friendly and attentive, calm and efficient amidst the steady flow of hungry patrons, but still taking her time to make sure we felt like welcome guests rather than irritating intrusions (as is so often the case these days). We had passing encounters with a couple of the other staff who were equally as friendly, though I didn't catch their names. What a place - loved the food! Loved the service! We'll definitely be making a return visit at the earliest opportunity!

We used Yelp to get a spot "in line" and it worked out perfectly. The food was tasty and unique. I got the Caesar cocktail and paired it with an Eggs Benny special that was on homemade English muffins with mushrooms.

We called to add our reservation to the waitlist. Once we arrived, we had been taken off the list. That's how it started. We were a party of 6 and sat at a high top table. It was cramped and quite hot - maybe the AC wasn't working that day or maybe they don't have it? The server came to take our drink order. We were ready to order our food after waiting extra time from the reservation snafu, but she quipped that "I'm only taking drink orders right now." From there, the meal couldn't save what had already been several misteps. Didn't even care that much that the wrong form of potatoes came with one of our orders - they fixed it quickly but the energy of our party was basically, let's eat and get outta here (and never come back). It's a shame because my husband and I have come here for years, and we love the food. But every other aspect during this latest visit when we brought our out-of-town guests ruined it for even us. Not sure we'll be back anytime soon. Maybe a second chance later on down the line after some time has passed, but this visit just left a bad taste in our mouths, and it wasn't the food. Maybe take it to go..?

Dirty Food Eatery is a catchy name. The food contradicts it. This is a nice cafe in what feels like an artsy part of Toronto. I started a Saturday morning off getting my fill before having a day of running around the city. I ordered a brisket benny that surprised me. I'm talking smoked BBQ beef brisket on a potato pancake topped poached eggs and hollandaise. I had heard about their fries, so I had a side of fries with the benny. Totally blown away. I washed it down with an iced latte. Like most breakfast and brunch spots, this one packs out quickly. I arrived shortly after the doors opened and had been sitting for all of about 15 minutes before the place got flooded with patrons. That being said, get there early. It's evident that they get a lot of patrons because the food and service are outstanding.

The best breakfast/ brunch hands down. Never disappoints. Greatest ever. Will be back again and again.

A little popular brunch spot located in The Junction known for homestyled comfort food, and a menu that changes regularly. They don't take reservations here, but you can join the waitlist on Yelp, which gives you an estimated wait time for a table, making it pretty handy for those who live in the area so they can plan when to leave the house. The atmosphere here is pretty chill, but a bit noisy due to the small space.  I had to make an effort to speak louder to have a conversation. The food is served in very good portions, and well priced. I loved the asparagus and potato rosti eggs benedict dish I ordered. All the flavours within my dish blended nicely together, and I really enjoyed the balasamic hollandaise combination.  The staff here were all friendly, but because this place can be pretty busy, it can sometimes be hard to get the attention of someone, or may need to wait a bit for service.

This is a great little hole in the wall gem. We tried the brisket Benny, French toast, and fried green tomatoes! The potatoes are like nothing I have had before. Thinly sliced potatoes layered and sliced into blocks and fried and seasoned to perfection. Service was amazing. We would come here often if we lived in the area. Highly recommend!!

I was absolutely delighted by this restaurant. The one thing that you do need to know, is that the guest list can get incredibly long. If you have not made a reservation in advance, a 2-hour wait would not be that out of the norm on a Sunday brunch. Even with the reservation, it can take a little bit of time unless you have really planned in advance. However, it's all done through an app, which means that there is nothing stopping you from putting your reservation in and wandering the beautiful neighborhood until you got a notification that your time has come. I can only speak to what I had, which was the Apple pancakes. When they came, they came with such a tiny bottle of syrup, but I was assured that there would be more syrup if such a need should arrive. Normally, I go through a lot of syrup to deal with the overly dry pancakes that needs something to support them. However, not here. By the end, with all of the delicious sauce, and goo, and added flavors, and whatever else was thrown on top, it was a superb treat that left me with syrup still in the small bottle. This is something that I do not think has ever happened before. It should also be noted, that after this meal I did not need to eat for the rest of the day. Those are some serious pancakes!

Could not be more pleased. This is a very small, divey set-up with fantastic, creative breakfasts and fun, attentive staff. The iced Americano was also terrific.

Friendly, welcoming, down-to-earth service. DELICIOUS burger, pickled veg salad, and (incredible, unique) home fries. And... the cherry on top: fantastic gluten free bread-big, fluffy, genuine; looked, tasted, and felt like the real deal, not crumby store-bought cardboard stuff. 10/10 would go out of my way to come here again. Excellent find. A moment of delight during a rough day of work travel.

It sure was dirty, that's for sure! I found ten bugs in my food, and the music they played was so loud, I brought my kids, and the music was also very dirty!

Today is my birthday and we wanted to get some breakfast so we tried something newish. We came over 2 years ago and were craving it again. Everything was perfect. Price was reasonable, food was out if this world, service was perfect and atmosphere was spot on. When we came there was an hour wait, we came around 1045 on a Sunday. The owner asked if we wanted to sit at the bar, it would be shorter. It took us 5 mins to get sat and seeing the kitchen work was great. Spent about 65 for 2 people in Toronto which is normal. Be prepared to wait if you go, call before and put your name on wait list. Trust me it will be worth it. Owners are local and super helpful and friendly

Excellent food. This restaurant is always busy! Ordered smoked salmon Benny. Great gluten free options!

Do yourself a favor and grab a breakfast buddy and come here. We split two dishes, one sweet and one savory. Dessert first, the Apple Johnny Cakes are out of this world delicious. These fluffy hot cakes melt the sweet cream on top faster than you can eat them. An excellent portion of apple butter complimented the dish, as did the granola chunks and powdered sugar that danced around the plate. Nothing beats those chunks of cinnamon apples in the middle of the cakes. We also enjoyed the Patas Bravas. These exceeded my expectations. They come as a generous mound of smothered potatoes topped with what looks like a farm-fresh egg. The side salad is perfect for cutting those starchy carbs. I would rate the coffee as average. Nothing wrong with it, but it would not stand out on its own. Service was attentive to our needs, but not overbearing. A great meal overall.

I have to give 5 stars because the food was delicious and the staff went above and beyond. They close at 3PM and we arrived at 2:40PM, I had no hope of being able to eat here because they were so close to closing. We went in and asked them if it was possible, he said let me check and they let us stay and eat. I was shocked because most kitchens close 30 minutes prior but they chose to accommodate us. So thank you to the lovely staff for going above and beyond, it was a lovely gesture. He handed us the menu, told us the specials and let us take our time in ordering. I ordered the Johnny Cakes which was literally apple pie pancakes (had the crumble, cooked apples and an apple sauce). The pancakes were delicious, cooked perfectly, warm and tasted like an apple pie. The restaurant is small, intimate and cozy. It felt like you were eating with family.

The food here is consistently excellent and the staff are so friendly and attentive. They have rotating/changing specials and definitely get their home fries! They are confit potatoes and super crispy! Due to the popularity of this place they usually have a wait but you can signup for their waitlist online and get notified when they are ready for you.

Their chicken and waffles are the best if you want comfort food for breakfast. The staff are friendly too

Great local brunch spot! Food is fresh and tasty. There are options for both vegetarians and meat eaters. The servers were also really friendly and helpful!

Comforting classics are a specialty at this Junction brunch spot, and the long wait lists are evidence that everyone wants some Dirty Food! Try one of several benedicts, the Monte Cristo (a grilled cheese and french toast hybrid) and apple cinnamon Jonnycakes. Tip: there's an online wait list so you can plan ahead.

Service and food at Dirty Food Eatery is the best in the city!!! Quaint and welcoming spot that always makes me excited for brunch!

I was extremely hung over from a wedding the night before and we got a last minute seat at the bar. I ordered the eggs Jenny with a side salad and it was a huge portion of food. The homemade biscuit was delicious with collards and bacon. Nice simple salad with pickled onions and the best potatoes in the world. Highly recommend for lunch or brunch.

I've been here about 5 times now in the past year. I was wowed by the food the first time especially the home fries. But the next few times have been disappointing. Worse, there's a Server who's warm and friendly with most customers but not when I've dined there. I don't know if it's because I'm dining solo or if it's because I'm a visible minority but I won't be going back. The food is over priced for the quality.

Dirty Food was our go to brunch place! Food is great! And the specials are always delicious and fun! Loved that they had a online waiting list, however recently we found out that there was a restriction made to their wait list. Only guest who are 4.8km away can be added to the wait list which is not fair. Due to the long wait and the guest list restriction, I'm not sure if it's worth it anymore.

Attentive service with delicious food. Great for families and everyone else! Inventive menu and cute space the only downside is how noisy this place is.

One of the best brunches I've ever had! The restaurant is very bright and comfortable and the service was just wonderful. Just one lady front of house and a guy cooking in an open kitchen. I've never had home fries like the ones they serve here but it is an absolute must when visiting! Great deals on mimosas too! If you're looking for some comfort food brunch but want high quality food without the high quality price this is the perfect place!

This is where I go when I wanna spoil myself for brunch. They're very good so they're very busy so book online or call ahead if you're outside of the area to be put on the list. Try the specials. Coffee is very good. In summer there are a couple of seats outside.

I grew up in the area, and was visiting from the US with my son. The quality of the food was great, priced reasonably. Very busy, reserve online or prepaid to wait 30min to an hour. While finishing my coffee, the waitress informed me we would have to leave when once I deal my coffee so the could turn the table. We felt very rushed.

Before you come to this place if you are coming from far you have to join the wait list minimum 1 he wait if your lucky, and I can see why, we started with the strawberry tangerine orange juice super tasty and refreshing, the anticipation was killing me waiting in agony but it was so worth the wait, we ordered apple oatpancakes, the fried chicken waffles, the brisket eggs Benny and and fried pickles let's start first with, the oat pankcakes those were delicious but still not as good as Mildred's but really good second the whip cream complimented the cake nicely cake was soft and fluffy with the apple sauce, the t melts in your mouth, the staff were attentive and friendly and accommodating if your close by definitely make the trip and try this place,

Pretty good but perhaps slightly overrated hipster joint. The chicken waffles were great except that the drumstick was raw toward the bone.

Perfect cozy breakfast and brunch place with excellent service! Love the Eggs Jenny here with beautifully cooked bacon on the amazingly soft muffin. I'm a big collards fan and I loved how they tossed their side salad. I couldn't get enough! I don't think I've ever enjoyed potatoes as much as I enjoyed them at this place. The potato sides are a must!!!! And Ofcourse, freshly squeezed OJ with those amazingly runny eggs! Loved the food, service and the people there! Definitely coming back again to try other things on their menu! TRY THOSE POTATO SIDES!

Always perfect. Delicious, brilliant service, a bit noisy but not an issue. Always bring out of town guests here.

So I live in the neighbourhood but for whatever reason had never eaten here before. Yesterday I went for lunch with my wife and decided to try it out. Ordered the burger with their homemade sauce and it was awesome! Came with fries and even those were awesome. The owners are actually the waitress and cook so obviously care about the details. I will definitely be back and will talk it up in the hood.

I came in town to catch a Blue Jays game. I had plenty of time to kill and Yelp lead me here for a wonderful breakfast. This place is very hard to find and if you're looking for it, you probably won't see it because it's buried in between other businesses and it's not heavily advertised. It's a very cute, quiet, and comfortable setting in the staff is extremely friendly. I ended up getting a iced latte, the eggs, Jenny, and home fries. I am not a potato guy, but I will say these are the best dang home fries I have ever had. They were cut into huge rectangle chunks, cooked to a crisp and seasoned perfectly. The hot sauce they had was the best hot sauce I've ever had and I collect hot sauces from everywhere in the world that I travel, just because I love it. It had a perfect bold flavor that gave the perfect amount of heat. I asked if they bottle that sold it, but they said they were too small and not yet. The collard greens on the egg Jenny threw me off and I wasn't sure how I'd like it. When they arrived, my mind was changed, and this was the best eggs, Benedict, their version, I had ever had. I was very very satisfied with everything here, and if I'm ever back in Toronto, I will go out of my way to get breakfast here again. Nothing short of five stars on every category there is.

Best eggs Benedict in the city! Everything else is awesome as well Outstanding service!

This please is in the top of my list now for brunch. Love the food, can't wait to come back and try everything on the menu.

Incredible food after a night out. We came in half alive and left fully rejuvenated. The food was incredible- highly recommend the chicken sandwich and fried green tomatoes. Service was immaculate and we wouldn't change anything about our experience here!

Dirty Food is located on the north side of Dundas east of Quebec Avenue in the Junction. What the fa-hell? Oh this place uses the waitlist app which I see so commonly in the good old US of A but not so much here. I really wish more places had this feature on their Yelp listing because it really helps with the information on how busy and how long the wait will be and get you on the wait list even if you're not there. Psst it's a Yelp thing shhhh. For what it's worth I honestly didn't know this place existed. That's sad right? I mean for somebody that lives on the west side, does go out for brunch and passes by this area not regularly but not rarely I should have known. I should have known this place has been around for THREE years. Normally when I don't know a place and I think they're relatively new I'll ask how long they've been around. I was patently ashamed when I found out they've been around for as long as they said which was again, THREE years. How could I not have known? It was more regret than shame. I mean after eating what I had here I was filled with remorse for time lost and brunches missed in years passed. Numbers were running in my head how many times I could have eaten here and I had to simply concede to lost time and simply move on. Oh ya, I ordered biscuits and gravy here. What's that you say? These aren't English tea biscuits and this isn't powdered St. Hubert or Knorr gravy from a pouch. This is a dirty south thing. You know such food like chicken fried steak, collard greens, mountain mash? When driving through places like West Virginia and seeing establishments like Tudor's Biscuit World or remembering that time in North Carolina at a gas station that had a sausage gravy dispenser not unlike a slushee machine, one knows what southern dishes are all about. I love chicken fried steak and sadly very few if any places do that here. Chicken and waffles is more of the accepted savory and sweet dish more accessible north of the border and they happen to have that dish too. The thing about the biscuits and gravy here is that it's not just biscuits and gravy. Getting that dish in the south is like getting poutine here where ever fries are sold which is very common. While the white gravy also known as sausage gravy here at Dirty Food is just rich and divine they happen to combine it with their half biscuit soaked or swimming and the other half to the side. Oh wait there's that thing added that makes it simply magical and that's fried chicken. That's right, crispy seasoned southern style fried chicken oh my. So a drumstick just bubbly and two deboned thighs are on this dish with watercress and collard greens is like heaven. It's like a hand came out of the sky and dropped this off and gracefully presented a shiny thing. This shiny thing was the most satisfying breakfast I've had in a very long time, months. I'd probably place it as a tie with The New Spot on Polk in San Francisco for their chicken fried steak made with Italian sausage gravy but this dish is just the best thing I've had in Canada for brunch, period. Trying to put this in perspective for under half a year that's better than breakfast/brunch at Mymy, Mamma's, Friends with Benedicts in San Francisco, better than Snooze or Bud's in San Diego, better than Snooze, Hash Kitchen, The Breakfast Kitchen Bar in Scottsdale and the Red Rock Cafe in Sedona. That's a pretty tall list of heavy hitters when it comes to brunch/breakfast and dare I say it yes, even better than Emma's on St. Clair which I was just there within the week. I have to give a crown to a place I didn't know was around for THREE years. That crown is Dirty's. I mean I have to say while I'm happy to have found this place and we'll be going more when we can that I'm sad to have missed meals not going there before. No regrets, moving forward so onward and upward. No, that direction...

What's the best breakfast dish? I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it's eggs benedict. I mean, it's definitely a strong contender. So when I saw that The Junction's Dirty Food was named #1 Best Eggs Benedict in Toronto by blogTO, I was there. No further questions required! In my opinion, going for breakfast is the funnest meal to eat out and I'm always on the lookout for the hippest joints to enjoy some morning eats. I visited Dirty Food on a Saturday morning and for a place that has the reputation of being "slammed" and "impossible to get into," I was very lucky to be able to walk in and sit down at an empty table immediately. It was clearly the right day and time to visit! The restaurant is fairly small with nice distressed wood table tops. Decor is minimal, however they do have an extremely cool black and white mural of the Mississippi River running along an entire wall. The atmosphere is fresh and welcoming, embodied by our server as well. As with any good brunch place, you'll find plenty of boozy options on their drinks menu, including an array of cocktails. Fresh squeezed OJ? They've got that too. I chose The Dirty Virgin Caesar (Clamato, spices, pickled beet juice, horseradish - $3.75) to drink, which seemed like an excellent way to enjoy a cocktail without having to go full-booze. (Because sometimes I'm just not in the mood.) I loved this! This caesar was spicy and delicious and I didn't miss the alcohol at all. I also appreciated the unique and surprising ingredients used! The pickled beet juice was an incredible twist and the earthy-sweet beet flavour truly came through in a beautiful way. The pickled okra as a garnish was also something that I'd never seen (or tasted!) before and I absolutely loved it. In fact, pickled okra might just be the best preparation of okra that I've ever had! From this beverage alone, I could tell what I was getting into at Dirty Food. This is a place that knows how to make classic recipes their own - and they know how to do it extremely well. The food menu is fairly small and it's obvious that each dish has been perfected. There is a definite Southern comfort food vibe to the menu, you know, if the Mississippi and the okra in the caesar didn't tip you off. You'll find dishes like grits & egg and biscuits & gravy on the menu along side totally Canadian creations. Of course with the distinction of having the best eggs benedict in the city, that's where my attention fell. There are three types available on the menu and often different ones as specials. For me it was the Salmon Jonny Benny (2 poached eggs, house-cured salmon gravlax on jonny cakes, hollandaise, dill, fried capers - $17.00). Each bennie is served with a choice of side: home fries, fries, spicy fries or green salad. I went with the home fries and I'm sure glad that I did! This lovely plate was full of unexpected surprises. Starting with the base, in place of a typical english muffin or something of the sort, they're doing jonny cakes; a cornmeal flatbread similar to a pancake. I loved this. The jonny cake brought a nice sweetness and was far less bready than a usual benedict base, which really allowed the other ingredients to shine. Every component was ideal on this plate; from the perfectly poached eggs to the flavourful salmon. The hollandaise was the epitome of creamy deliciousness, and just the right consistency. Every time that I ate a perfect bite that included every ingredient, I found myself stopping to say "wow." It's like they've cracked the code of salty-sweet benny amazingness. And wait. The home fries. After tasting them I literally said out loud, "what potato voodoo magic is this?!?" From what I can tell, these cubes of (double?) fried potato are actually thinly sliced potatoes, layered and cut into cubes... To create like... The most incredible potato experience ever?! Usually hash browns are basically filler on a breakfast plate - I'll eat a few just to taste them, but I'll certainly never eat them all. Not so in this case! These home fries are super special and I ate every single last piece. They were even better with some housemade hot sauce! Dirty Food was amazing and I will return. It might even be my favourite breakfast spot in Toronto right now. I especially loved that as we were wrapping up our meal, I looked at Instagram only to see that Dirty Food had posted a picture... OF MY BREAKFAST! These are clearly my people.

I had the shrimp cake benny with craft creme soda and dude had eggs jenny with black cherry craft soda. This is a brightly lit, skinny brunch place. Very vibrant and cute ambience. It's a very date-y place. Server was nice and came to us at frequent but not annoying intervals. I really liked the shrimp cake!! It had fried capers and came with a choice of home fries or greens or fries, from which I selected home fries. The shrimp cake was springy and tasted fresh. The eggs benny on top of it was cooked just under medium, and the yolk seeped through the moment my fork poked into it. The yolk was extra orange too, which just means the chicken had a high carotene diet. The hollandaise was just right, no need for more salt. The yolks were extra nice to look at. The bennies were definitely beautiful. They seasoned it just right and I wasn't dying of thirst. I def prefer the shrimp cake benny over eggs jenny. Jenny had some bacon but it was very fattening. Their soda was nice but I prefer Wildly Delicious from Distillery. Defo reco here for a cute brunch date. Deducted 1 star because it wasn't like life-changing, but it was definitely really good. Also, there was hardly any air circulation. It gets heated fast in there.

Great spot for weekend brunch. It could be a pain to wait for a table so go early to avoid queuing in line. They open at 9am!!! Their pancakes are absolutely awesome and I'm not a pancake person.

You know those obnoxious people who are like "I'm hesitant to let you know about this place because it's SUCH a hidden gem"? Those people have never worked in a restaurant. I walked past this spot 25 times after dropping my son off at Karate. Never went in. Finally did and felt transported back to Atlanta, GA. Fried green tomatoes? Deep fried pickles? Killer biscuits?! Breakfast sandwich? Thick bacon? Farm fresh eggs? Yes please. All made with love. Yeah. I found it and I'm spreading the word. Sorry, haters. These peeps crush it daily. Well done! (Loosens belt on pants).

Despite putting my name on the waitlist (Yelp's awesome new feature) we still had to wait 45+ mins. There's no place to wait in the small restaurant, but fortunately there are some nice stores and coffee shops you can wait in. Don't let the long wait deter you though, b/c it was worth every minute. Cute, clean, diner feel. Great brunch menu with a mix of sweet or savoury breakfasts, or lunch features. It was incredibly hard to choose what to eat. I ended up getting the breakfast sandwich with bacon, and a biscuit to start. The sandwich was amazing. The biscuit was even better. I love buttermilk biscuits and get one pretty much any time it's on the menu. This was probably the best ones I've had in Toronto. The home fries were easily the best home fries I've had as well! They are deliciously crispy on the outside and pillowy on the inside. I wiped my plate clean, as did my partner and my friend as well. Plenty of food and lovely, attentive service. I cannot wait to come back!

Me and my friends found this restaurant while searching for brunch places in Toronto. All the reviews and menu options looked great so we decided to come by on the Family Day weekend. I had emailed a couple days prior to see if we could make reservations, but they replied saying it was walk-in only. The restaurant is quite small, so expect a line up! We had to wait almost an hour before getting a table. The food was really good, but I'm not sure it was worth the long wait. I ordered the Gravy & Biscuits (with fried chicken). the flavours were really great, but everything seemed to have been fried/toasted for too long. It was too crunchy which made it hard to eat. I would go back, but order a burger or something else.
