Had a great experience at Sunset Grill, our server Shelly, knew our group was in a time crunch, she took our orders and brought our food out promptly. THANK YOU, it is very appreciated!

Service was good restaurant was clean, however asked for over easy eggs they came out over medium and over hard, sausage was way undercooked, home fries undercooked and cold. The worse part was when you looked over to where they cook the food, the linecook was using his phone then touching people's food without washing his hands which is completely unsanitary. Please teach your cooks hygiene, people can get sick from cross contamination.

I was here last Saturday morning, early. The server had such a kind, warm, mom-like vibe, she was so good. I decided I'm on a mission to find my favourite breakfast place and started here. I loved that the bacon was cooked flat and it was a good lot of meat on it (not just fat). The food and everything was good, but honestly what made this place stand out was that server. She was super quick when I got there, and as soon as I was done, was quick with my bill. I appreciated the whole thing, thank you to that lady!

Been here a bunch of times now, have no complaints, food is amazing. Take out is quick. My recent experience I choose the Omelete, it was bigger than my stomach lol. Was delicious, staff and there service was great. Recommend anyone who wants a great meal to try this. You won't be disappointed

I placed an order at 8:20. At 8:31 I received a call informing me that the order would be ready at 9am. Ok. They're busy. I understand that. When I arrive at 9am, I wait in queue behind two others and she says that they are making it right now and she will bring it out to my car for me. I wait in my car for 20 minutes. The gentleman who was inside before me is now outside waiting as well. He was told she would bring it outside to him, but he had to go back inside to see what the situation was. He eventually leaves with his food. So, I wait another 15 minutes after he leaves and no one comes out, so I call inside at 9:46. No one answers the phone. I wait another 5 minutes and I decide to go back into the restaurant. The wait staff address no one, and scoot back and forth, packing orders and picking up receipts. There seems to be no delegation of duties or system to them. The kitchen staff is working extremely hard. By 10am I am finally given my order. When I arrive home we are missing an English muffin and two pancakes. Our eggs have also taken on the imprint of the checkered wrapping, with squares of red dye deeply leeched into the food. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time this has happened here. They need to get their act together and find a system. Poor organization and management.

First time at a Sunset Grill franchise and I was so delighted! The atmosphere was cheery and the staff were very delightful and super sunny! They food was incredible and fresh. The eggs were cooked to perfection and the potatoes were seasoned and cooked to a mouth watering delight. The pancakes were also a perfect blend of fluffy and dense. There was so much food I couldn’t even eat it all!

Normally Sunset Grill is 5-Star but today a different story. Arrived 50 minutes before closing, the only server was already sweeping. Food was okay but not great, to usual standards. The atmosphere was totally spoiled when the server wet mopped around our table! I know people want to go home after closing time but they advertise open to 15:00 yet we were exposed to clean up the whole time we dined. Not acceptable. I still recommend Sunset and will give this location another try.

I was here Sunday March 24 around 11:15am-1pm. We had a group for brunch. A nice little private area, although a bit small for how many showed up, we did this without reservations. They accommodated for us and we had the most wonderful waitress, I apologize I dont remember her name. The food was fabulous! Will be returning for sure!!!

A go-to diner in the area. Service and food is solid. The coffee is always great. Menu has something for everyone! Personal fave is the vegan hash! Vegetarian options: Big fan of the vegan hash! Parking: Parking shared lot with other nearby businesses. Layout is a little weird so use extra caution when leaving as the spaces closest to the diner are also close to the entrance for the McDonald s drive thru.

Waited 10 minutes after seated before anyone came to us at all Then we finally ordered it took almost 25 minutes 20 min for sure We asked for our food and they said because we ordered steak all our meals will take longer lol. Steak was ordered medium rare with steak and eggs breakfast Came out well done and dry We then asked to return and give us bacon instead and they did so and still charged us for the steak and eggs We said we do not want to pay for steak and it was such a terrible attitude by the server surprisingly. Terrible service Cold attitude Such a shame. Won t be coming back.

Cubes potatoes were raw and were uncooked unseasoned. They should look golden brown. Benedict s ok but could be even better displayed.

★★
December 21, 2023

Service was good. Eggs Benedict was good. The home fries were grey and boiled. For a $20 meal I d hoped for better. Also, management needs to bring in a cleaning company to dust. If you look up, fans are blowing and just covered in thick dust as well as the light fixtures. They haven t been cleaned in a long time, if ever. Not too appetizing.

Their limited time blueberry cheesecake french toast was extremely disappointing! It looked nothing like the picture. The blueberry preserve was thin with a few scant blueberries in it. There were no fresh blueberries. There were no blueberries on top of the french toast or on top of the whip cream. There was a tiny bit of cream cheese somewhere inside; certainly none oozing out the sides like the photo. I expected much better for $14!!! Dont bother ordering it.

I ordered French connection with turkey bacon as a takeout order - I have to say I wasn t impressed with the quality of the food. I make better food then what I got and would use much higher quality ingredients. I have to say I wasn t very impressed especially that the price point and the quality of the food do not match. I paid $20 for my meal and I fed most of it to my dog. I should have taken a picture since a picture is worth a thousand words.

Arguably one of the busiest days of the year (mothers day) I was seated immediately in the last available place. Promptly given coffee and menu with relaxed and very efficient and friendly staff. You couldn t tell they were swamped the place ran like a well oiled machine. Hats off to the staff and management. Oh ya and the food was delicious!!! 5 stars well earned.

December 21, 2022

We went there last weekend and they messed up our entire order... asked for the western omelet sandwich and was given an omelet with just cheese..... no peppers or onion whatsoever. My partner ordered the peameal bacon sandwich and almost half an hour later was brought a plate with 3 pieces of peameal on it. Then the waitress came back and asked if she could use the now cold peameal to make the sandwich. The only good thing was the coffee.

Have been coming here for a while and usually no problems but last time I went I ordered and got my food and was missing my sausage and only got bacon but it was a while before the waitress came back so I ate some of my food and when she came I asked and she said no problem so she took my plate and gave it to the cook and he took the bacon on my plate off with his hands and put it in a bin because I guess I had too much then I watched him take it and put it on a new customers plate. Absolutely disgusting in my opinion and unsanitary.

Terrific location. Visited from Hamilton after too many disappointing experiences at the Barton and Eastgate locations and do not regret it. Ordered baaaaasically every sandwich available with some very specific requests and these folks nailed it. Brioche buns instead of... toast. Nice fluffy eggs give the sandwiches real body. The BLT contained more B, L, and, T than any other time Ive ordered it elsewhere. De. Lic. Ous. Thanks Ancaster Sunset Grill, and Terri (sorry if thats misspelled) for humouring me. You rule!

This was my first time at this location. I really enjoyed my breakfast which was the French connection with bacon. Food was great. Service was very poor. Short blonde haired waitress basically ignored our table the entire time. We waited 20 minutes for coffee. Not impressed. While we dined the staff were having a full blown argument! One woman employee told the cook to stop whining like a woman . How offensive and unprofessional. Hopefully the staff can get it together and hopefully the blonde waitress is fired because she is a terrible server. If they can do this, they wouldnt get any complaints from me because YUM.
