Uncle Betty's Diner

Atmosphere is nice but food is mediocre at best. Ultimate grilled cheese came with cold meatloaf and I’m not sure you can call it “grilled” cheese if the bread is soggy and not even lightly toasted. French fries are greasy and soggy. Get the home fries instead - they don’t have much flavour but they are at least cooked well. Don’t order anything with Hollandaise sauce - they make it in batch early in the morning and then it goes in the fridge. Ours came stone cold, even though they supposedly heat it back up. “Freshly squeezed OJ” is not actually freshly squeezed on site. Rather they have a supplier (similar to buying Tropicana at the grocery store). Only redeeming item on the menu is the pancakes which are fluffy and tasty and came out hot. Extra charge for real maple syrup though.

Haven't returned for a while. I'm happy to see they still make doughnuts but only in two flavours: cinnamon or powdered sugar. The decor is modern with tables and some bar seating. Service was good, the waiter was friendly. Art is on the wall from local artists that can be purchased. I had the east coast Benny with smoked salmon Benny on a plain bagel with a side of home fries and side salad. Salad toppings were fresh and tasty, rare to actually get sweet berries: blueberries and blackberries. Benny was good, smoke salmon was standard. Only criticism was the bagel base was a little overdone, I missed when the Benny's used to be made with a doughnut. My food mate had the french toast and bacon. French toast was soft inside yet crispy and just enough sweetness that it did not need anything else. Betty compote was good and not too sweet. I had to try the doughnuts again. They were crispy on the outside yet soft and tasty inside. Better then when I remembered before. Cost: $16-19 depending on the dish. Reasonable prices for brunch. Overall, despite being far for me, will return for good doughnuts and good breakfast. Apparently the diner has cocktails at night...perhaps will check it out one night.

A great spot for a vibe between a diner and brunch place. Food is delicious - the French toast was cooked perfectly and not too sweet, and the grilled cheese was unique with macaroni and ground beef. The service however is a little slow, despite being a relatively small space.

Came here on a Saturday morning, wait wasn't bad at all - about 15 minutes for 2, however, overheard that larger group of 6 had could take about 45. Not the best layout for large groups but they will definitely try to accommodate you. As for the food, what we tried was amazing. My wife and I shared the breakfast bowl (which I was told is only available on weekends) and the stuffed French toast. Both were savoury and hit the spot. Coffee was fine, and we tried a donut afterwards - didn't have a huge selection of donuts left at that time and it was just OK.

Super creative menu that was at first, intimidating. Eventually decided on their breakfast poutine which was super yummy! Portions were decent and the coffee was excellent. Menu was perhaps, a little expensive Service is excellent and fun! We love how the wait staff interact with us! The donuts are a cake style treat that resembles an old fashioned donut, but topped with decadence!

It was disappointing. I have wanted to come here for quite some time and while the location was lovely and the service was friendly, the rest was subpar. I ordered the breakfast hash and specifically requested that my poached eggs be "easy" as I like them runny. The first order was covered in hollandaise not chives as per the menu. They sent out a 2nd order, no hollandaise yet no chives either. The sweet potatoes were undercooked and there was no flavor. I had coffee with my meal only everyone seemed to forget to see if I needed a refill, so I never got one. Maybe should have tried the french toast instead; sadly cannot recommend.

Had a delicious & beautiful milkshake from Uncle Betty’s today! I absolutely love a good milkshake and great service. We shared a cotton candy milkshake with whipped cream. I was also extremely happy to have found parking easily, given that it was rush hour during the week. They could do with some more flavours, as all their selections are distinct special flavours & not many “typical” or standard options (which is nice for those who like to play it safe. I’ll definitely be back in the summer !

It's a small friendly place. Good service, good food portion. Got their black raspberry thunder ice cream, 😍 I love that they add some small white chocolate chips in it. It's a place you need to try at least once.
