43 Colborne St W, Brantford, ON N3T 1K6, Canada
We were out for a drive on a beautiful day. Hungry and no restaurants close by. We stumbled upon Kingswood. So pleasantly surprised. Just the type of simple but deliciously homemade menu options we love. It's breakfast -lunch only. Food was delicious and well priced. Staff was extremely friendly. We got there at 1.30 and they close at 2.00 p.m. They were quick to deliver our food and did'nt rush us out the door. Strongly recommend people try their food.
The service was subpar. We came in as a group of 4 and they only brought us 2 of the 4 drinks we ordered till we asked another waitress about it. We had to wait around 45 minutes after ordering for our food to arrive. The waitress waved away one of us when she found her eggs undercooked and hash browns overcooked. The food was okay. The French toast was ice cold. My girlfriend found a strand of hair in her hash browns. The hash browns and eggs were mostly flavorless. The meats were the best part especially the peameal bacon which was full of flavor. It was on quite the pricey side for the amount of food you get. Probably best to come in for the early bird special.
My husband and I walk by frequently and notice it is always busy. We decided to stop in this morning and I'm so glad we did. The service was great, the food incredible, the atmosphere was amazing. Such a friendly little place. We found our new breakfast gem.
Best food in town. Make everything just the way you want.. awesome friendly service and very huge compliments to the chief… never left unhappy our new favourite spot…….
One of my favorite places. The food, service and prices are great. The staff is amazing!! It is a cash only restaurant. They have an ATM machine, but currently it is out of order. That makes it somewhat inconvenient for customers who do not carry cash. My advice would be to just always bring cash in case the ATM is not working. You don't want to miss out trying out this Brantford gem.
It's a tiny little place for breakfast and more than anything I loved the ambience. Probably because I'm close to 30 now, I love that heritage vibe and this place is just that. Most of the customers are the usuals and felt like they knew for a long time with the chatter that went on while I was there. Food delivery was pretty quick for a small stacked place but I asked for a medium done steak where I got a very well done? So wasn't enjoying the taste of it. Eggs were good and proportioned as well as potatoes. The tea was a bit watery,but hey it's what everyone gets, the same pot. And for a total of 38$ something, I was happy to enjoy the time there and tip. Will visit once in a while to get that feels.
My lovely neighbors raved about this place, so I had to try it. Giant piece of fish on fish and chips Friday special! Friendly atmosphere, the waitresses seem to know everyone coming in and know all the regulars' orders. Price is reasonable- $13.99 fish and chips includes a drink of your choice. There are breakfast specials advertised outside of the restaurant
Our first time here, and we will definitely be back. First impression when you walk in, it smells delicious, looks super clean, and was quite busy! The server was super kind and considerate! One thing I absolutely loved was that she asked me if it was okay to bring peanut butter to the table! I don't think I've ever been asked this at any restaurant before. Even though our family does not have allergies, we know many people with them, and this should be more standardized! The food is very well priced and they have a lot of options to choose from. The only con, is that it's Cash only, they do have an ATM on site though. The food came out and smelled/looked delicious. Unfortunately it didn't quite hit the mark. We had a vegetarian omelette, and while all the flavours were there, the middle was definitely undercooked. We had the Mediterranean eggs Benny and asked for soft to medium eggs, again, the flavours were there but the eggs were cooked hard. The third dish we had was the breakfast poutine with poached eggs on top requested soft, the flavours were there but the eggs were again hard, and the Hollandaise was completely overwhelming. The flavours were good once some of the Hollandaise was removed. The potatoes were well seasoned! Hopefully it's just a newer cook, I know they've had hiring signs up for a while! We will definitely give them another try! The coffee was flowing and I loved their decorations as well!
The lady who was seating me was very rude im not sure of her name its also not good for big familys to go out and eat
Good home cooking with excellent people!!!
Very reasonable, great service, lovely people serving you!
Best eggs Bennie ever
Hi, I have visited Bar burrito at brantford first time over there. And Environment was so good, Staff were friendly and I ordered one bowl of Falafel and I was too tasty that I had never like that in my whole career. I enjoyed a lot over there. Had great conversation with staff. Will again visit once I come to brantford Great
Went in here looking to get breakfast for myself... It was a bit busy but I read a sign saying please wait to be seated. I was the only one standing at the door, had 1 server walk by me twice and a different one walk by. Both noticed I was standing there and was not greeted, not a word was said. Once that happened, I walked out. At least tell me youll be right with me or tell me if there is a bit of a wait to be seated.
Perfect breakfast and service was top notch, best coffee ever for me,!!
The best.
Good ole fashion atmosphere,great food,nice people,see ya soon
Great breakfast poutine with hollandaise sauce! Only down side is its very popular so dont be in a rush. Food : 5/5
Great old school diner that has been a staple in our community. The portions were so big I was able to have enough to take home for a second meal. The food was super tasty. Highly recommend this place for a great breakfast.
Literally the worst food Ive ever had
Our waitress was FAB! Food was great! Great Sunday morning breakfast with family.
Love their food, down to earth place to go. Friendly staff, clean and respectful. Try it out! Good eats
The burger was delicious Thank you Food
This is amazing food remember cash only
Awesome food and service
A fantastic place , great staff, great cooks, consistently consistent. I never order coffee anymore as restaurants charge $2.50-$3.50 for a coffee
Food was good but service was not. My mother and I came in around 12:30 on Mothers Day. Place was very packed. We got our orders in and got our drinks within 15 minutes. But we waited 1 hour and 10 minutes for our food after we put in our order. Nobody checked in with us or told us ahead of time about the wait. An hour in I asked one of the waitresses when our food would be ready. She ignored me and walked away without an answer. I had to ask another waitress, and then we got our food 10 minutes later. While eating, I also heard one of the waitresses tell another family that they would have to wait 1 hour for their food even though it was already closing time and the restaurant was mostly empty. This place needs to improve their time management skills.
Fav breaky place!
The food is always good, and the service is excellent
This restaurant is fantastic. My daughter has taken us there a few times. They treat you like family and the food is excellent.
I had the smash burger today. Omg!! So good. The burger patty is handmade, not frozen. Cooked to perfection. The fries and gravy are awesome. I usually get breakfast, but had to have the burger.
Love the food. Great service. We been coming here for years. Many more years to come
Great staff, lots of seating. Just remember to bring cash as they do not debit. The food is really good and they do not scrimp on serving size. I believe they close around 2 pm. Parking: Need to park on the st which isnt a big deal, they do have a small parking lot as well.
Very delicious breakfast staff are very nice
Lovely little diner in brantford. We went for brunch and were not disappointed by the portion and quality! 10/10 would recommend for a classic diner meal. Looking forward to visiting again soon.
This is a no frills but good food breakfast place. Staff are friendly, and the food is good! Traditional breakfast fare. Quick with the coffee refills. Bring cash as there is no credit/ debit but they do have an atm
We just happened upon this diner. Great food with amazing prices. Service was super friendly. Cash only establishment but they have an ATM Food
Good food, nice staff, a little loud.
I love the food but the homey atmosphere and fantastic wait staff makes this my go-to breakfast joint in town. I always leave full and genuinely happy. The coffee gets me jittery though, still unsure if thats a benefit or not
Amazing breakfast and lovely staff. I wish I dined here earlier. Cash only so make sure you have some or they do have an atm. Service was A+++.
Great breakfast and burgers. Cash only. There is usually a wait on Sunday
We came for the eggs benny and werent disappointed! Cooked perfectly. Really friendly, fast, efficient service. Orders came out quick and were all correct. Our coffees were refilled in a timely manner and they had decaf ready. Thanks for the nice breakfast experience. Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible
Eggs Benny was excellent!
Food was great, took a long time but place was very busy. Tables are a bit too crunched together.
Always a great breakfast at the Kingswood Great friendly service and reasonable pricing. Food
Great place for a quiet breakfast
Expensive got 2 toasts and coffee 25 bucks
Excellent food and portion sizes and affordable. I go there more than once a week
Delicious home cooked food in a cozy atmosphere.
Food was alright...but took 50 mins to get our food..slow!
Great food great staff and the best deal in town. Bring cash they dont take any plastic
My absolute favourite place to enjoy breakfast. Everyone is so kind.
My co worker and I were working out of town doing construction work and all morning it was raining so we decided to find a place to get some breakfast while waiting for the rain to stop. I gotta say we haven t had a good home made style breakfast in a while. The food was amazing and staff are super friendly. We will definitely be returning. Thank you.
Love this breaky joint. Its soo good and great prices! Staff have always been super friendly and foods served up quick. Pancakes are fluffy and delish!
Absolutely greatly enjoyed the good and their service. Taste was really good but the quantity is too low for the price they charged. Good location..
Popular with the older folks, this place is cute and friendly. Meals are not too big to finish. The do have parking but its tight. Parking is better on the street. It is not wheelchair accessable.
Even though this place was absolutely packed for Saturday Breakfast the service and the food was excellent. Will be going back soon!
Food and service was amazing
Great staff and food is freshly cooked.
Wonderful breakfast my husband and I drive out of our way to go here. Eggs Benedict.....so good!
Been here a few times - food is great however on weekends, the wait for food can be pretty slow - 30 minutes for Western sandwich and home fries is a long wait. The service is great though, I would just avoid 10am or so on Saturdays.
Foods fabulous...
Great breakfast for 9.99 on a Sunday at noon hour Filling enough with eggs toast 3 sausages and potatoes (which are awesome) See you soon, Kingswood Food : 5/5
A really good place for an excellent meal. I tried one of the breakfast specials which was Hawaiian omelette and it was excellent. Highly recommend. I mean here a few times and its always been. I really good experience.
Lots of great food. Great coffee. Large tea pot. Clean. First time in and was very impressed.
Awesome prices, awesome food, awesome waitresses.
Although I did not eat in the restaurant, too many people , really loud , cant hear yourself talk , chairs are rock hard
Was here today with my young son. After 35 minutes I asked if they started my order and if they hadnt Id pay for my drinks and leave. The waitress walked off shaking her head saying were busy as Im trying to communicate this. This is too long for bacon and eggs when you have a young child with you who is hungry. If told it could be 30 minutes when being seated we may not have stayed in the first place. The only reason this isnt a 1 star is the owner said I didnt have to pay for the 2 pop we ordered. Disappointed as this place usually has great food and service until today. Not sure Ill be back......
Great little breakfast place, busy but the food arrived in a very reasonable time.
Awesome breakfast place. Friendly service. Food is always hot and fresh. Wife loves the lunch menu. Homemade burgers always delicious. Staff always welcoming. Are go to place when in Brantford. Really glad there open Mondays again. Definitely worth checking out. See you soon.
We try and get there every Sunday. Sometimes there is a wait, I think that punctuates the appeal of the place.
I went there today for breakfast. I asked for dry toast and received butter on toast!? Order mushroom soup which looked like mushroom dip! Won t be back.
Although my eggs were not exactly as I ordered, the food was delicious and the service was great.
Good portions and inexpensive. The sausages are really good. Enjoyed the atmosphere, friendly service.
It has been a long time since I was there. The interior is great and the waiter was excellant. The food was always good.
Clean, friendly staff, delicious food and fantastic prices. Great all around!!
This place is great. Good food, Great value. Great staff. Colleen was excellent. Highly recommend.
Love this place! Great food at a great price, and friendly service! The eggs Benedict were to die for! Our new favorite breakfast place!
Great ! Good grub ...
Food is good , but we come all way from Chatham for Colleen! Shes a dream
Parking sucks, cooks smoke cigarettes near rear kitchen door
Staff are friendly and give regulars the personal touch by using their name and asking if they would like their usual order. Prices are reasonable and generous portions. Warm, and inviting atmosphere with spacious design and improvements with accessible main floor restroom. Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu which makes all children feel special.
This has quickly become my favourite place in the area to get breakfast! Great food, great service, friendly environment
Enjoyed the Scrambled Meat Lovers bowl. My wife loved her Eggs Benny. Highly recommended Food : 5/5
We tried to order from the Backdoor burger bandit that is running out of Kingswood. We wanted to support a new venture that was local and not a chain. Called at 3:30 as the menu gave this as their opening time, no one answered the phone for our take out order. Called several times. No answer. With that in mind I switched to skip as it was set to available, and ten minutes after placing the order it was canceled. Bottom line, have a backup plan because there is a good chance you wont get any food from here.
Fourteen tables, excellent service, and food prices. Cash only; an ATM is available. Limited parking in the back but lots of street parking. Senior menu section and prices.
Best breakfast spot in Brantford,.dont argue cause its not even close.
Great food and fast service. Might have a wait due to great food. A great place for everyone.
Incredibly friendly staff and terrific food. My wife and I loved our experience and will be back soon.
Great meal good quantity excellent service
Great little restaurant great prices and great service!!
This place has always had excellent service, servers and food.
Excellent food and service. Just a note that they only accept cash.
Great breakfast special M-F. Good service. Pretty loud. Overall great place!!
Food is was fantastic a really cool local hometown feel restaurant with staff that are 10/10. Amazing breakfast today
Great service, like literally amazing. Awesome menu and unbelievably low prices. Highly recommended
So yummy. Great atmosphere and the staff rock!
Im sure its a nice place, but I went in and ordered takeout. They told me I could pay at the back door and theyd have my food ready in 10 minutes. 20 minutes later waiting at the backdoor and nothing. I figured I misheard about the backdoor so I went back inside and waited to pay and collect in there, but no staff would come up front to take my money. Again, Im sure its a nice place when you get your food, so my score is based purely on the lack of service.
Always good and good service. Only bad thing I have to say is that both times I went, my poached eggs were runny and I asked for poached hard. Had to send just the eggs back; they made it right by making more cooked perfectly!
Solid breakfast at a good price
I enjoyed my breakfast here and will be back again. Thanks for the great food and service
Been eating here for over 15 years! Food is always so fresh and delicious! The waiters are always so kind and organized. I would recommend this place to anyone that loves a great breakfast!
Best breaky around
This place is great. The waitresses are very friendly and helpful. Our waitress Colleen was awesome. I had the 2 egg toasted western and fries. Their fries are homemade and have no skin on the potatoes. Very very good. We noticed this place was majority locals which showed us how good this place actually is cuz in our experience returning customers are a good thing. We most definitely will eat here many more times we highly recommend it to others.
Great Breakfast
My favorite breakfast place in Brantford Excellent food friendly staff. Always leave full and in a good mood.
The eggs benedict are the best I have ever had and Im a bennie coniseur..lol!! Restaurant itself is small, but the service is great and the food is excellent
Best breakfast!
Still a Brantford best after 30 years... Always busy but so worth it... Huge portions always fresh and hot
Other than the fact that I ordered jam for my toast when I ordered my breakfast, and asked for it 2 more times before I finished, then got the jam when I was done, the food was great, and its a nice environment
They never disappoint! Friendly and easy to deal with.
For a greasy spoon in brantford, this is the place
Always good value and great service! Our favorite place for brunch
been meaning to try for a while and glad I did. Got a breakfast and the home fries were grilled not deep fried which were tasty. Noticed there are different daily lunch specials and will definitely go back and try.. keep up the good work!!!
Always an excellent breakfast
Best breakfast around., Kingswood special rules.3eggs..pemeal..sausage..real home fries...toast...approx 10bucks
...one of my favorite places in town if You are lucky enough to get a seat!
Always amazing food and the friendliest staff
Best breakfast in Brantford.
Very friendly service. Cute little place extremely clean and comfortable. The breakfast was amazing. Very organized. We left our phone number at the door and waited in the car until our table was available. What a great idea. Definitely will be return.
Great food very fair prices
Always great food and service!
Great food
Always just like homemade ... or better!! So many things to choose from for breakfast, lunch or brunch! PLEASE SUPPORT THIS LOCAL, PRIVATE OWNED BUSINESS DURING THE LOCKDOWN. Pick up is available during these tough times.
Absolutely knocked our breakfast out of the park... my first time trying your restaurant.. ordered eggs Benedict.. it was perfect.. unlike other places.. my new favorite place.. thanks for a great meal and great service..
Stopped in on Monday for lunch. Good food and large portions. Doing major renovations, making a meeting/family gathering room. Excited to see it finished.
Great burger
Awesome food
First time here, the whole family was very happy. Kids loved it. A must comeback place for sure.
If I could give more stars I would . Kingswoods efforts during these trying times is commendable. First and foremost, their COVID standards to protect everyone are the highest I ve encountered. Everyone is required to have a nose and mouth covering when they enter the restaurant. The servers wore masks and gloves. When a table was vacated the servers wiped down the chairs and table before any customer came to sit down. When my server gave me a ketchup bottle from a recently vacated table she wiped it down. The quality, the quantity and the efficient and friendly servers is still the same as it was in the 50 s. I had a cheeseburger, fries gravy and a coke. The burger was juicy and messy to eat (as it should be). They even toasted the bun. The fries were fresh and not greasy.
We have been going to the Kingswood ford years through out many owners. We really enjoy going there. The food is consistent,service is excellent. Owner very accommodating. Hurry and open back up. Wendy and Jack
So it seems they are shut until further notice. I noticed a hand written sign stating this posted in the window when I decided to try them out this morning.
Love it here , price is right, servers and service is great , favourite breakfast spot in town highly recommended.
Friendly staff...big portions and selection...prices arent exorbitant
Excellent breakfast n service
I ordered a take out breakfast meal this morning. An elderly woman and her presumed granddaughter stood in front of me. The Waitress rudely addressed the elderly woman, and demanded she produce proof of vaccination. The elderly female did so. The waitress then questioned how old the young female was. The young female responded that she was twelve years of age. The waitress then ranted on about twelve year olds should be vaccinated, and subsequently denied them both entry. The elderly lady was visibly distraught, as was the daughter. The waitress continued to be dismissive to the elderly female, and did not appear to show any compassion, or offer a takeout menu. The times we live in are quite strange, but provincial orders aside, please show your clientele and your elders some respect. It is never pleasant to deliver bad news, but it is far worse to receive it in such a condescending manner. Once the lady and her granddaughter left the foyer, the waitress looked at an elderly couple stood off to the side, and shook her head. To my surprise, the elderly couple shook their heads to. Whatever the intent of this body language may be, it would be wise to say that more self restraint could have been used. Please be considerate of other human beings.
Great food and great prices. I have to use skip the dishes anytime I order though because theres no wheelchair entrance. Id rather pick up my order since I dont live too far away.
Great food and friendly service
Great food and service
The food is very good, it is always busy. Awesome restaurant
Still gets me everytime how great the food and service is here, Just beware the dining room is small!
Great tasting breakfast. Clean and well maintained restaurant. Friendly service too.
My Husband and I love The Kingswood . Both of us ordered the special omlette . It was a very large portion . Served fresh and hot . Coffee was really good too. Homefries were done on the grill (which were great!) . The service was excellent . Our coffee was always topped up .Prices were very reasonable. It is a clean and comfortable little place. Probably the best breakfast we have had in a while ! So Im changing my reveiw to 5 stars because we just went to kingswood again and I must say the food has been consistanly delicious and the staff awesome ! The only place that made my eggs perfect .
Food was very good, staff friendly and price is affordable. Would definitely go again. Very nice atmosphere
I cant believe it took this long to go to this restaurant for breakfast, everything was perfect from the service to the food , I highly recommend this restaurant.
Another fine institution in Brantford!
Great breakfast and lunch specials, attentive service. Perfectly cooked bacon and eggs, and my coffee cup was never empty. Hash browns are especially tasty.
Great place, great places and food !!
Friendly service good food
Great food, great value, very friendly and efficient staff.
Great breakfast! Our favourite in Brantford. This place is almost always packed but doesnt take long to get a table. Run by very lovely people and the room just feels warm and cozy. Love the weekend benny specials. No credit/debit so bring cash if you can, though theres an ATM on site if needed.
Great place for breakfast. Great people and service!
Always amazing food. Only issue I find is that they dont have debit. If you dont have cash on you, you have to use the ATM and spend extra on fees.
Food is always good! Fast friendly service
This restaurant has been on this corner since I came to Brantford years ago -used to be our go-to restaurant after Sat. night partying. Had not been there in a long time - had lunch last week and it is still the SAME!!! If you are hungry, portions are perfect - everything is done to perfection, small adjustments to your order are handled with care. Service is local, friendly and well-timed. Prices are very reasonable.
Amazing always
Great little breakfast spot. Clean, well lit, delicious food, friendly staff. Have eaten here twice now and have not been disappointed.
Great breakfast, clean bright environment, and happy, helpful staff. A+ great experience.
Excellent breakfast today at a reasonable price. Great service and they are practicing all of the current vivid rules. I willl definitely go back.
Definitely not what it used to be. Ok if you want something quick.
Lovely waitstaff and the food is great. Ordered veggie loaded omelette and they weren t kidding. It had lots of fresh veggies and cheddar in it. They had the best non-deep fried home fries I ever ate - smaller sliced so they weren t just giant potato chunks and seasoned well with onions YUM! The interior is cute and uncluttered.
Great place to eat
Kingswood always great food, and great service. Another favorite of mine.
Very good service friendly atmosphere, excellent food.
Wonderful old school breakfast done right never disappointed servers are absolutely Charming
We went there for brunch today while in Brantford we searched best brunch and this little gem popped up and boy, oh boy, it did NOT disappoint. We got brunch for 2 for under $30 with tip. The food came EXTREMELY fast and the wait staff was friendly. The food was delicious and cooked perfectly. I loved the mismatch décor and tea cups and teapots, it definitely adds to the charm of this little space. We will definitely go back, and HIGHLY RECOMMEND checking this little corner restaurant out!
The staff was fast and very friendly, food was enjoyable..
Excellent food and prices to match!
A staple in Brantford for breakfast. The staff is always wonderful and the food is always great (and fast to your table). If you are looking for a great breakfast in Brantford then check out Kingswood. Get there early though as seating is limited and it fills up fast.
Great food fantastic prices. Amazing staff. 1st time visit and will be returning on a regular basis. Im also a business owner my self and they were welcoming as well.
Good food, good prices, friendly staff. Only complaints, cash only, and they need to expand, always full, always cramped.
Good food good prices
Yum yum says it all
Best breakfast place in town
Good food good prices
