Service was prompt, food was fast and delicious. It was exactly what I wanted for a late Saturday brunch! The place is huge so it's not cramped and loud like a lot of places. I'm sure they'd like it full all the time but it was great for my neuro-spicy self ! Definitely plan to come back!

It was a risk, but a risk that paid off: we were headed to Boston Pizza for lunch, but thought that York St. Diner could possibly be tastier....and it was! My daughter and I shared a wonderful Reuben Sandwich and poutine: the gravy was rich and flavorful and the cheese curds large and squeaky. My son-in-law said his veggie burger was one of the best he'd ever had and the coffee was very good. Karina, our waitress was a star. All in all, a very positive experience.

Been a regular for quite a while now, and this place used to be so delicious. Unfortunately it feels like the quality of the food has gone down for the price. The poached eggs often have a vinegar aftertaste, and the hollandaise seems bitter. The front of house staff are very nice and it's been a pleasure to come back to them time and time again especially Kristy and Mark, but the food doesn't really seem to justify the price anymore.

Have visited York St Diner many times over the years. The food was pretty decent and it used to be a bustling diner. It had been quite some time since visiting so this review is based on my current experience. I had the Chicken and Waffles and my partner had the Going Bananas - the usual dishes we would order. The food was overall pretty good. The service and the atmosphere was a bit lack- luster. It was kind of like the right moves were being made but with zero passion. Would be willing to give York Street another try.

Wouldn’t have picked it out on first look. Referred by a friend. Convenient location. Good parking. Generous breakfast. Well priced. Tasty. Coffee is decent. Staff were friendly and attentive. Following vacc pass protocol. Sadly not doing supper anymore temporarily do to lack of business and the vacc pass. The decor is tired but I would recommend for breakfast place.

The first and best burger i had on Vancouver Island: Their "York's Burger". Absolutely delicious with mushroom and bacon for a fair price. Fully recommendable. My wife had turkey roast. very tasty. The waitress was very funny and made heaps of jokes

Very nice little dinner, comfortable atmosphere. All waitresses were excellent, providing a smiling friendly service and quick catering. Some of the better eggs Benedict I’ve ever come across, and the chicken and waffles were top notch. This place has it going on, I will return when I’m in the area again. No need to go to any chain restaurant when there’s a place like this in town.

To much change to the quality of food

March 22, 2024

We loved going here! We decided to go out for breakfast as we haven t for a while and first thing we noticed was how very few patrons there were which was unheard of on weekends -it used to be the place to go. Our waitress was nice however we had noticed her continually adjusting her top and numerous times under her armpits. It wasn t until a few hours later that both my husband and I started experiencing stomach cramps and had major GI issues the entire day and evening. We are both convinced it s likely due to the poor hand cleaning hygiene our waitress had -not sure if she had food safe training but she wasn t using it. The food was just ok -portions were smaller and the prices were higher. Unfortunately, we won t be returning.

March 22, 2024

Staff are crackheads. Smoking pipes in the back. Its surrounded by homeless and drugs. Not safe for kids. Just to be clear and show how malicious, disrespectful and unprofessional owner is... I didnt dine in nor did I have any conversation with a server. Pure trash. Food

★★
March 22, 2024

Worst service my family has ever had. It took quite a while to get a beverage and when we did, one was missing. Didn t get one refill and when asked for one got attitude from our server saying there are only two servers while slamming my 80 year old father s coffee on the table. When we asked another server for service, they said I m not your server. The only redeeming thing about this restaurant was the food.

The food is OK, Im just not a fan of the actual owners. After a response they have posted under this review, Im changing my opinion of the place. Theyre unprofessional, and the food is third rate, i would suggest the the dog house or corner house Cafe. You can find better at many other places in Duncan that arent in such a shady area as well.

December 22, 2023

Service was not good!! No coffee refills till we flagged server and then she ran out coffee, but never came back to fill? One tiny syrup container for 3 large pancakes is not sufficient and when we asked for more we waited for 10 min and then had to ask again, so pancakes were cold. In their defence server was very new (they had a lot to learn about being observant )and restaurant was understaffed. Still, there was a few other minor things that bothered us, that contributed to overall being disappointed.

This place was okay which wouldn t be terrible if they didn t charge 50 bucks for basic breakfast.. no coffee It just wasn t worth the money. The servers were nice but the food was lack lustre with the added pain of spending 50 bucks for it.

★★★
December 22, 2023

Asked if the Hollandaise was real, made with eggs and butter. The answer was yes. The Hollandaise Sauce was probably the worst I have had. If that is homemade, I have a bridge I can sell you! Service was good, portions were good. Benny was a huge let down. Probably never made Hollandaise from scratch ever.

★★
December 22, 2023

I will not be going back...it is the second time that our breakfast has been cold...cold eggs, cild hashbrowns not very good. Sorey but you have lost our business.

December 22, 2023

Food was good. Bacon was a little overcooked for me personally. Zero refills on my pop or juice for my little dude. Had to flag her down for a refill. Found a hair on my hash browns. Was returned to kitchen for a fresh make. New plate arrived quickly. Server was definitely not on top of her game. Waited for 20 mins just to ask for a to-go box, took her 20 mins to return with one when the restaurant was nearly empty. OH and one more thing, not even a discount for my hairy food!! Or an apology when I went to pay! 10/10 will not return

Came in for the first time with a friend while out shopping. We had just walked out of the White Spot after encountering food crusted coffee cups (2 tries) and a miserable waitress. Like night and day. First off - everything sparkling clean. Second - waitress was totally awesome - friendly, professional and went out of her way to accommodate my friend who has a corn allergy. Food was great - and significantly less than would have paid at White Spot for probably inferior quality. Highly recommend - good food, fair prices, pleasant and clean environment - and amazing service

Its a nice little diner. I ordered from the smaller appetites menu It came with 1 HUGE pancake and some ham , you could also choose sausage or bacon. The meal was quite good, the pancake was very large and filling. The waitress was polite. The place is quite busy so it can be a little noisy. I would recommend this place. My motorized wheelchair fit in with no problem. I didnt use the washroom so not sure if they are accessible or not. Wheelchair accessibility: Easily fit in the diner and at the table.

Ordered crab cake benny .. to the table no crab cakes. Spanish skillet .. to the table no salsa. Ordered orange juice .. out of orange juice. Told would get discount for wrong order ... she forgot to give discount, told ask for discount next time. Were from out of town. Food was ok ... poutine was awful. Service was on par. You decide. Staff are always nice here.

December 22, 2023

I took my family out for brunch. They forgot crab cake, and salsa ingredients for two separate meals. Ordered the chicken and waffles which was disappointing. The gravy was disgusting. Ordered orange juice and they came out with a half a small cup. They stated theyd give it to us for free and discount our meal but they actually charged me for a full price of OJ and no discount. No refunds because they arent trained on how to do refunds, Bad experience. I wouldnt recommend it.

December 22, 2023

My family and I used to love coming here, we made it our go to spot. But the service lately has been terrible, and we likely won t be back. Which is too bad because the food is good. If I was management I would seriously be assessing the wait staff because im positive it s hurting their business. It used to always be busy when we went, now not so much.

December 22, 2023

I will likely NEVER go back, Ive never been treated so badly by staff in my entire life (used to be my favourite place in town). Tried to phone to order food on the weekend, was asked to hold then listened to the employee Sheena cuss/swear her head off for 10 mins while on hold (could still hear). Called back, happened again!! Over 15 F bombs on the phone in 20 minutes on hold. NO ONE CAME BACK TO TAKE MY ORDER, EITHER TIME I CALLED. At this point I drive down to York St, I walk in, it is fairly busy. I ask a lady up front if the owner is in, or a manager. She says she s the manager. Perfect. I ask if we can speak somewhere privately, she says no. So I lean in and whisper that I just spent 25 minutes trying to order food, listening to the staff swearing and cussing. She goes over immediately to the other lady working (who I assume is Sheena that answered the phone), and the girl starts laughing and looking at us. I ask if we can speak again in private and I m once again told no, so I tell the manager that I am looking to place my order and honestly I am hoping it is going to be complimentary after the experience I have just had (plus half my order was supposed to be free from their last screw up). I get told angrily that this will not be happening, and she tells me to come back later if I want to discuss it. I tell her I drove all the way down here, I m looking to order food, can we please resolve this. She offers to get the owner (GREAT! I asked to speak to the owner when I first came in). She returns less than 15 seconds later I spoke to him, he says there s nothing he can do . I said there is no way you relayed my entire story to him in that time. At this point the other person working pipes up You re in here every day, you know we re good servers! I looked at her and said calmly I think I heard enough out of you on the telephone, I ll thank you not to interrupt . TO WHICH SHE REPLIES I haven t even answered the phone today . BLATANTLY lying and accusing me of making the entire scenario up, I said to her Then how do I know your name is Sheena and you just told the cook 3 times it s ****ing bananas in here, **** my life 15 minutes ago? To which Sheena just starts laughing out loud in my face. The manager then looks at me and says bye, have a good day and waves me out of the restaurant. As Im leaving I hear 2 people standing by the door whisper oh my God...should we leave too? I am someone who they said is here every day and they treated me worse than I have ever experienced from any restaurant in my life. No matter how much I enjoy their food, whatever has happened to the staffing there is horrendous and how they treat customer is absolutely unfathomable. I don t know what it would take for me to go back there again, but it would have to either include personal apologies from those staff members or one from the owner himself for hiring them and have him tell me they no longer work there. I can safely say Brunch On 3rd would never treat anyone like this, and that s where I ll be recommending to people from now on.

December 22, 2023

Wont be coming here again. The service is absolutely awful. Phone calls picked up and put on hold, to never be answered again, Waitresses with bad attitudes allowed to laugh in customers faces, and management who could care less. If theyre paying her to throw her hands in the air, then I guess theyve found the right fit. I suggest brunch on third if you want good food along with great service.

The restaurant itself was lovely, the staff were wonderful! We went because we had been suggested to try this place as we re new here but i have to say we weren t entirely impressed with the food. My partner order 1 piece of french toast and a side of hashbrowns. I ordered two eggs and sausage which came with hashbrowns and toast. We also ordered 2 sides of hollandaise sauce. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the hashbrowns were nice, but the hollandaise truly tasted like pure egg yolk and the rest was nothing to write home about. We would have minded our own and moved on but the bill was 46$. I could not believe how expensive it was for the sub par food. We are truly not picky people but will not be back because of the expense vs the food experience. Unfortunate because there are not alot of options in this town. Parking: Location and size of lot/ street made it difficult to find parking as the lot is shared with a motel

Some good, some not so good. I had the Little Cake breakfast, a pancake and choice of meat, the server suggested the ham as it was cut off the bone from a real ham and portion was generous. The pancake was as big as my head, fluffy and delicious and the ham lived up to its billing, excellent breakfast. My husband was not so infatuated with his meal, he ordered the breakfast special with shredded hash browns and got cubes, the back bacon was very salty but the poached eggs were perfect and the sourdough toast was excellent. He asked for mustard, which did not come until we asked for it again, and nobody offered to refill his coffee. Price was reasonable although they charged extra for the mustard, never had that happen before. The server was friendly and the place was packed. Not a mask in sight, but that is, of course, personal preference these days.

The food here is usually good and experience has been good as well. Was very disappointed today sadly. I called to place a pickup order and the girl said I had to wait a minute on hold because they were too busy and I said no worries, I understand the understaffing issue many businesses are experiencing. I wasn t put on hold I could hear the ladies swearing and laughing for 15 minutes. Trying to be patient until I ultimately decided just to hang up. Not too impressed with the customer service and professionalism of my experience today by any means

Incredible meals, portions are plentiful. My only complaint is the hollandaise sauce. Theres so much care in the meals except for the yellow sauce! It must be out of a box with zero flavour. Too bad otherwise great meals. Oh, and the bacon is honey smoked 1/4 thick slices from Cisco. Fantastic when cooked softly.

My bf and I were looking for a lunch stop while in Duncan for a short bit. The diner hit the spot in all the right ways: spacious, friendly staff, service, price and quality of food. It was hard to judge what it d be like from the outside but we were pleasantly surprised with this diner once in! I was too hungry to take a picture of my Chicken&Waffle dish as I inhaled it the second it got to my table! I rarely would order something like that but I just had a craving and it was SO SO satisfying. Waffles were fluffy, perfect size and the chicken was crispy without any grease! Topped with whipping cream and drizzle of the mayo/mustard sauce. We ll definitely stop in again!

Ordered the two eggs and a side of hollandaise, Food is overall very good but my meal itself was a bit cold, I had to get the hollandaise warmed up, but wish it was all hot to begin with. My boyfriend ordered the French toast and it was amazing as always!

The stuff was super friendly and it was a cozy restaurant. We went there for a brunch and ordered two sausages with two eggs and skillet with spinach and feta. Both were very tasty. The sausages were not just regular breakfast sausages. They were deep fried. The skillet was a huge volume. I couldn t finish all by myself.

This was not a bad breakfast, but not great. The bacon was perfect, the potatoes were decent, the eggs were slightly over-cooked but not terrible, the hollandaise sauce was far too runny and lacked flavor, and the English muffin was odd-tasting. Overall, it was a less than average Benedict.

I tend to come here with family. Lately its been less and less but its always the first choice when we go out for breakfast. Keeping this in mind, I decided to go for something I normally wouldnt I went with my mom and we walked inside. It was a little busy, the waiter was dealing with someone who was leaving so we waited a minute or two. She then sat us down and she soon came back with some water not even having us to ask which is pretty nice I ordered a sherly temple as a drink (what seemed to be sprite, orange juice and strawberry syrup) and the Ukrainian plate (as pictured below). The drink was soon brought out. I had to mix it a little due to the syrup on the bottom, but it made it look fancy and it tasted pretty nice Our food came out shortly after and I asked if i wanted some griany mustard and i said yes. But I was a little surprised at how small it seemed to be. There was 5 perogies and 2 cabbage rolls. My first instinct was to think Ill definitely need more after this however as I ate, I realized that this was pretty good. Filling too. The cabbage rolls did taste a little frozen, but that wasnt an issue. Im not Gorden Ramsay Overall, I had a good breakfast and I definitely think its a good spot to go to

This is unusual for a restaurant in a little town in Duncan to give such low class yet low guest services.. The food quality isnt the best but it was OK after all. The rating wasnt given to the food or the exceptional care from Mandy The rate is given because the fruit salad was served rotten from the look, and the taste is like a couple of weeks old.. These are terrible mistakes. Yes, any business could make a mistake, and I can understand if the response was appropriate... The response from the manager was as follows She took the old plate,and a few minutes later, she brought was she claimed it was a fresh cut fruit and offered it to me. At this time, my appetite was shut down, and I politly rejected it.. The response was ok. If you dont want it, I will eat it, so she did. I was disgusting and upset from the response more than the mistake of offering a rotten plate. First, this is not a simple mistake, and it has severe health consequences Second, the form of apology was very rude and disrespectful, at least in Canada

Holy moly. I didnt know what to expect when we decided to eat here but it was excellent!! I think the highlight of the food was the chicken and waffles that the spawn of my manfriend ordered. They were in absolute heaven and I was delighted that they gave me a bite too because it was splendiferous! Super juicy, tender fried chicken, the single most flavourful waffle Ive ever tried, really delicious syrup and a dang cup of fresh whipped cream on the side! I cant even. It was so good. I had a really tasty burger and fries. It was REALLY good, but Im still thinking of that one bite of chicken and waffle. Seriously. I may or may not be drooling as I type. Its a problem.
