The Gingerman Restaurant in East York

Best breakfast around family owned treat U great fast & friendly nice home food & soup great to bring the whole family ..

Great value for money. And the service is amazing never saw portions that big

Ive been here several times. Always very happy with the service and food. Staff always fast and efficient. Premises are very clean.

A wonderful family owned restaurant with good food. Clean family atmosphere with excellent service. I will be a repeat patron.

Ok, so less than five star isn t an option. Everything was above and beyond normal breakfast lunch restaurants. I will be back and will bring friends. Since 1959, this place is a great old diner. Food

Like wow! I cant even begin to describe how perfect this place is. I liked it so much the first time, I went back a few weeks later. Their breakfast is not just delicious, its a great price too. Dont delay folks, if you like breakfast, youll love this hidden gem.

Always a wonderful experience. And the portions are amazing!!! Whenever in the area I always stop by for food. Best Bennie s

If you re ever in town for the best family style restaurant, visit the gingerman. Cant recommend the food more than enough ! Staff are always smiling and laughing with customers and they make every customer feel special. Everytime I go, I ve gotten a new dish and haven t been disappointed. Very affordable. Theres a reason this place has been around for so long. Must visit place for anyone new to the area or people who might have not heard of it. Overall, best breakfast / brunch place i know. P.S ask for Elena ! Her smile is contagious, always happy and smiling with everyone even if the service is a bit slow.

I love the Gingerman! Elena is the best waitress 10/10! If you re looking for a great breakfast spot this is the place!

Very good food, friendly staff, good prices

Excellent food by an awesome staff. I highly recommend this place for brunch.

Great food, service, and people.

Food is always hot, fresh and tasty. Large portions leave you feeling full. Staff is always attentive and friendly. Just sorry we didnt find this place earlier. Never had to wait to be seated and food never takes long to arrive to table. Kid-friendliness: Kids welcome.

A classic and friendly neighbourhood diner with a great breakfast menu.

Great breakfast spot, very rare to find a place nowadays that seems untouched and unconcerned with modernizing. Gingermans isn t afraid to keep the character it s clearly developed from years of servicing customers. This is the closest we can get to a cozy diner in this area, and I m here for it. The service was also lovely.

Always a go to on a Sunday morning......been coming for over30 years and the food and service is still fantastic!!

I recently visited Gingerman with my boyfriend, and it was a fantastic experience! The atmosphere was incredibly friendly, and the service was top-notch. You could really see the great teamwork among the staff, which made our visit even more enjoyable. Ive been to many breakfast joints, but Gingerman stands out, especially for having the BEST hollandaise sauce Ive ever tasted. This place is now at the top of my list, and Ill definitely be returning frequently. Highly recommend!

Ok Scarborough.....real Scarborough but cool ppl and good food Vegetarian options: Plenty of options Dietary restrictions: Plenty of options.... gluten free

Friendly staff. We go there for breakfast usually. Good portion size and good prices. Would recommend. Free parking.

Best roasted western sandwich! U will be full!

A lot of people would call this type of restaurant a greasy spoon but I think that term is a great disservice to many a restaurant. Instead, I would say The Gingerman is a classic restaurant with honest food and simple service. I dont live in the area but was wanting breakfast and saw this place as i drove by. Since I enjoy this type of unpretentious mom & pop type places I knew it was best to turn around and give it a try. Serving sizes was generous and friendly staff. The place was not too busy when I arrived so service was quick and attentive with a comfortable atmosphere. Nothing fancy just honest food done traditionally (like they have done it for 40 or 50 years). Not sure about the choice of pictures on the walls. 90s corporate motivational type things. Its odd. I mean even going to a local second hand or garage sale for those landscape paintings have go to be better. In the end I would definitely recommend if youre looking for a classic Canadian breakfast in the east end of the city.

My experience after gong there for well over 10 years, I will not return. Offensive & aggressive because I asked for service, after the owners daughter ignored me to serve a single fellow, seated at a 4 person table who arrived after me. She looked stunned that I dared to ask, & when I asked why she served him before me she said she didnt see me. She then brought me a glass of warm tap water, no ice, while others, including the fellow served almost immediately after entering was served cold water with Ice... she claimed it was busy, which it absolutely wasnt, which was banged down on the table, followed by a coffee served in the same manner. Trying to maintain my calm, the owner then came to the table behind mine, and I heard say loudly for all to hear that she wont tolerate my kind of attitude or rudeness... at this point I got up & walked out, leaving her at the back of the restaurant. As i approached my car, I realized that this woman, the owner, was shouting hey lady, and as I put my purse in the car, shouted, yeah, thats what I thought, i guess thinking I was ignoring her. I walked back towards her and she was extremely confrontational, so I asked her what the problem was? She began shouting at me in front of her daughter, who had also come out of the restaurant, yelling that I had been rude to her daughter. I told her to stop yelling at me, unsure what the attitude was for and also that I had not been rude, nor had I raised my voice. I simply asked for service, which is what I went there for. I dont care if others think it is rude to ask for service, after being ignored - she brought him menu/water and was walking away again when I asked for service. I dont care if it is the owners daughter that felt offended. I felt offended by not being acknowledged after having sat there for several minutes. The restaurant was at 60% capacity at best, so the excuse, that she didnt see me is to poor. We were seated less than 3 feet apart and even at that point, after providing him ice water & a menu, she was walking away, again, and still did not once acknowledge that I too was deserving of service. Restaurant Mgmt needs lessons in how to deal with patrons. Staff normally is fabulous, even when run off their feet when it is busy, including the owner, so am taken aback by her aggressive behavior. I am a senior and the owner is much younger, but came out of the restaurant to start something with me for no reason... how pitiful is it that you come out to cause a scene for no reason and both you and your daughter are in the wrong. I am a patron, I didnt yell at anyone, or swear or kick up in the restaurant, or outside of it, I spoke my mind, following which I walked away. Definitely will not be returning.

Good food way over priced thought coffee was included in the breakfast nope 3.00dlrs ,large milk 4.00 dlrs so bye bye mr gingerman never again

Got catfished by the reviews of this place. Came by for a late breakfast, and the place wasn t too busy so the service was quick and friendly which is where they get points. Atmosphere - it s a dated diner so no points given or taken on this. The food - we ordered French Toast w/ Turkey Bacon and a 3 Eggs Breakfast. The 3 eggs with home fries and toast is straight forward, nothing out of the ordinary. Eggs were done right and whole wheat toast was well buttered The French Toast w/ Turkey Bacon. At $13.49 plus $8.49 for 4 pieces of bacon it s a $21.98 Meal. For this price I expected something a little better than was served. Got served 3 slices of whole wheat dipped in egg wash and pan seared. That s it. No seasoning; no vanilla, no cinnamon or even sugar dusting on top. But worse was the turkey bacon, it looked like and tasted like I was eating salted Kraft paper. There is a better way to do turkey bacon if you want to charge the price of a full meal to add on. There is not level of inflation where you serve overcooked turkey bacon at this price. What is being charged for what is being served doesn t make sense. Safe to say this is a one and done at this place.

I wish we could actually get Maple Syrup with our French toast order! Every time we order French toast on Uber Eats we include notes to request TWO packets of Maple Syrup and we get NONE! Why?????????? Why would mot even one packet of Maple Syrup be included for a simple order of French toast??? I m beyond baffled. Just give the costumer the Maple Syrup! We are tired of calling in to nicely express our concerns above. Please do better it s such a simple request by reading the notes better.

Amazing.

If you re looking for a good greasy spoon diner with great food and a homey local vibe, this is definitely the joint. Been here like 8 times already and it never disappoints. I always get the Gingermans sampler but they have MANY options and they always treat you nice in there. We just had a situation where we got double charged (banks fault not theirs) and they worked with us to figure it out and everything This is definitely my go to place on a weekend morning

Great place.

Thanks for breakfast!

Fantastic place!!! Couldnt decide on bacon or sausage so the waitress offered both Food was delicious Friendly staff, Pricing good

I was so surprised at how busy this place was. Nice to see these smaller places do so well. Portions were huge and can easily feed 2 people. Potatoes were on the salty side. $16 for sampler was value for dollar.

A great place to have breakfast. Great service and lots of parking.

Do you consider $23 for eggs benny to be a bit much?

Says voted top best breakfast. NOT SAME OWNER

I came to the gingerman restaurant expecting a great service like we received before and this time it wasn t a great experience we told the waitress my mom have a serious allergic to oranges that would sent her in Anaphylactic stock if anything touches it the waitress noted it down and told the chef about the allergic and he said tell us to get the hell out of here which we over heard him say from our seats this was my second time here and will definitely be my last time if you have a allergic don t go here the chefs don t care and I have worked in restaurants and take allergy seriously because without the customer there no chef or waitresses will have a job even if the customer isn t right don t fight with them cause we paid your paycheque

Always friendly service here. Got our go-to today , the eggs Benny with smoked salmon . Absolutely delicious. Food

The Gingerman Restaurant is what I would call a real old fashioned restaurant. It s like getting into a time machine and heading back to the 1950 s. I m quite sure that this restaurant will never receive a Michelin Star but they will be getting something better, which is a 5 star rating from me. My wife and I visited The Gingerman Restaurant for lunch. I ordered an absolutely huge 4 egg Meat Lovers Omelette and my wife chose the Classic Clubhouse Sandwich. Both dishes were scrumptious and service was quick and friendly. If you want to walk out with your tummy full, then this is the place to stop by.

First time, but its definitely not the last. Very friendly owners & servers. The meal was not only delicious but also huge portions. It was so huge that I was able to take what I didnt eat and ate it for lunch the next day. Yummy!

We went for breakfast. Omg. The portions were large. The service was great well priced We hade to waddle out of the place so good

Great little breakfast spot, servers are amazing and the food is good. We ordered eggs Benedict and it was flavourful. I found a white hair in my food (not ideal but it happens), it was found between the english muffin and the poached egg. I still had about 1/3 of my meal left when I found it and the owners first response was you just found it? instead of being apologetic. His response was off putting considering I bought it to their attention as soon as I found the hair. He was however apologetic and took the meal off the bill.

Great little spot!

Only found this little gem recently but since I did, its become a weekly visit. Staff are awesome. Food is great. And its like a TARDIS. Way bigger on the inside. Stop by and check it out.

Wonderful all day breakfast, homelike atmosphere and good prices

Awesome atmosphere friendly staff great food.

My recommendation is the samplers Parking: It is a little busy trying to get there early Food : 5/5 |

Service was excellent, food was excellent

They have now shifted their hours to 3pm daily posted on their sign . I was disappointed when I got there at work and it s closed. I was looking forward to that hot turnkey sandwich.

Sunday, January 28. I had take out from here this morning and the food is as good as it has always been. As always, clean and comfortable. Enjoyed great conversation with friendly young man and woman. This restaurant is the best. Nancy

Great service and the food tastes amazing

Had a birthday breakfast there this morning with my boss. Food was excellent. Service was excellent. Owner was really nice and had some great stories for us.

What a diamond in the rough this place is. Great food, large portions, great service at a reasonable price. This place should be your go-to breakfast spot. Traditional diner. Parking: Lots of spots with easy access

A sweet little family run restaurant.

Excellent pancakes, great greasy spoon spot.

Amazing Food and Service!

Good food. Friendly service. Great value. This is our go to diner. Highly recommended.

Food is delicious and home cooked meals. Staff is outstanding .. Go for breakfast or brunch

Needs to prioritize dine in customers. Seeing order after order getting picked up by uber eats while i sit and wait 30 mins for eggs. Update** New owners are horrible. Too many dumb rules, they are rude and they dont consider their customers repeat business. This place used to be a lot better.

We went there today on Boxing Day, and it was busy. The atmosphere was superb! We ll be back definitely ! Thank you!

Was in town visiting a friend, this was such a great find! The eggs Benedict on peameal bacon was PERFECT.

Greasy spoon was perfect. Great meal friendly staff. Will go back.

Perfect. Food. Service. Staff. There s nothing more to say. :)

Great value. Lots of food for the price paid, and it all tasted good. Nice to have pancakes that were fluffy and you didnt need to take a drink every other bite. Servers were great. Food came quick. Petite restaurant with that tight old school feeling. Would definitely recommend.

I would give 0 stars if possible. Cockroach came out of my sandwich and they refused my friend a second drink even though she s 27 years old. Do not come here it was very poor service the older woman especially

Fantastic family restaurant that we absolutely love. The service is good and the meal is great!

Love this restaurant. Food is always good.

omelette was huuuge! a silly thing, but I like that they bring water to the table when you sit down.

Great portions and friendly staff! We ordered coffee, eggs Benedict and breakfast special. The food was mediocre and I did not enjoy the boiled/semi sauted potatoes thrown as a side.

Very good

very good

Good Food , Friendly Staff, reasonably Priced. Good Coffee .

Great spot!

Good, tired waitresses made silly mistakes.

Took years before realizing they were there... Now love going for breakfast.

What a gem! This place is so warm and welcoming as soon as you step in. It s rare to find places like this anymore where food is cooked with love and the staff genuinely care about you having a great meal. Portions are generous and prices are so reasonable, also something that is rare these days. I got the hot hamburger sandwich and it reminded me of my childhood. My wife got a healthier breakfast and both were equally delicious! We will be coming back and next time with the kids too.

The food is probably as good as other brunch/breakfasts places, but, the service, the people make a huge difference. Will definitely come back!

Everything I try here is always good. Its a great spot for breakfast and has a very warm atmosphere. The staff seem like great people. They make their hasbrowns two ways! You have to stop in Food

Great food, great value, great service! Its hard to find a good restaurant like this that is consistent.

Family owned, absolutely AMAZING customer service! Huge menu, lots of options. Food is delicious, every dish looks great and the price is right. Best greasy spoon I ve ever been to and in my neighbourhood for more than 40 years. Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie options. I had the veggie omelette and it was so big I ended up getting 2 meals out of it.

Was awesome.! Food was great.. good customer service.

Excellent quality, excellent atmosphere, very friendly service. Probably due to the crowd theres a bit of delay in getting your coffee refilled and your check but its not too bad. We need more of these independent small restaurants with a heart.

Bang for the buck you cant go wrong only on the early bird breakfast its a ton of food youll be full. But I got a fry and gravy lol of course I did and it was $7.90, like what why so much. The early bird makes it all better, final say go and try this place shes a good greasy spoon.

I m happy I was introduced to this place.. might not have found it otherwise. It s a cute diner with a family-feel environment and friendly, attentive staff. I got the smoked salmon eggs Benny and my cousin got the Sampler both of which had portions so big we couldn t finish- which is out of our ordinary. Delicious flavour and great quality.

Staff are lovely / food is great

Foods okay. Kind of expensive for a greasy breakfast spot. I wouldn t eat anything here besides breakfast.

Best quality meats. Very friendly service from all of the waiters. Affordable prices!!! I can t stop coming here!!!!!!!!!!!

Definitely, a place to visit in Toronto. Very kind and helpful staff. We asked for Benedict eggs and French Toast, everything was delicious 6/5 starts!

The best place to eat

Ordered through skip the dishes the 3 egg and 3 peameal bacon Breakfast, rye toast and 2 coffees from gingermans this morning. Fantastic Breakfast so large and peameal bacon so thick I actually made a peameal sandwich with my rye toast. Breakfast came with home fries. Price was more than reasonable for what I received. Recommend highly Update Ordered the hot turkey dinner and western sandwich. Both simply fresh, delicious and a very nice helping size. Update Ordered a fantastic cheese and bacon omlette and side of peameal bacon today through skip the dishes. It was huge and the meal feeds 2. Tasted really delicious, egg soft and fluffy with lots of cheese and bacon. We really enjoyed. Update Ordered the banquet burger, roast beef sandwich and fries. Roast beef was good but the burger was overcooked and dry. I also asked for my burger to have ketchup, mustard, relish and onions but all I got was a few packets of ketchup....not very impressed with todays order. On a brighter note we liked the gravy.

It s nice for having breakfast at the gingerman, good price , good food especially for the egg Benedict love the sauce :) Parking: Easy for getting a parking

Have always loved The Ginger man for breakfast .Its a very popular place in the east end of Toronto. Anyone who lives in the neighborhood or surrounding area can tell you how enjoyable it is .Lotsa choice of breakfast favorites .Large servings that you can share .Stop by on a weekend.

I had pork souvlaki which is very delicious. Service was really good, place and dishes were clean. I ll definitely come back soon.

They have the best greek food in Toronto, everything was so delicious and clean. I recommend this place to everyone around me.

Absolutely amazing staff yet the food is beyond measure. A great place for all meals. The owner is a kind family man whom strives for perfection Food

This is a hidden gem. I was very impressed with everything at this restaurant, my breakfast was delicious and large portions. Ive been searching for a restaurant like this for a long time. If you like the classic diner atmosphere and food then this is the place.

One of our all-time favorite breakfast places! Great food, good value, comfortable and awesome service.

Best restaurant in the city of toronto . Best service and friendly place . Always good food and portions. Everyone Ive taken there loved the food just like my family . Give it a try you wont be disappointed.

Excellent food here

This has got to be my favourite restaurant in the city.

My new favourite diner restaurant! The new owners are such a lovely family, who work hard, take care of the customers and are so kind and friendly. I came for lunch and had the classic clubhouse with a poutine, the portion size was amazing and it tasted so good! They constantly had a steady flow of customers coming in. Overall I love this place and the atmosphere and will keep coming back!

My Ham & Onion Omelette...taste Very good portion is Generous . Not oily at all and onion not watery as other place. Highly recommend. Food : 5/5

Best brunch in the greater Toronto area! The owners and staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, and the food is delicious! I came here with a group of 5, we were seated right away, and served quickly, despite not having a reservation. The portions were amazing and the prices were very reasonable. I ve come here many times over the years, and will be back soon

Burnt toast. Food is fair but great value. Very generous egg Benedict.

The new owners gave quite the impression upon arriving, very friendly and eager to help! Meal portions were great, I had a chicken greek salad and couldnt even finish the whole thing!

Great food. Great service. Chef even came out to check how everything was. Well definitely be back.

Great food and service. You feel like you re among family. Well taken care of :)

Was the cook for 6 years..new owners used me..fired me and my twin brother because they forgot it was my day off. Horrible people..very angry..served rotten food..dont go.they are two faced

Our second time here and its just incredible. I cant believe how good the food is and how friendly and service oriented the whole team is. Food takes a while to get when busy so make sure you come when you are ready to wait but we just enjoy our coffees it is well worth the wait. Strongly recommend you check out this place if you enjoy a good family run diner / restaurant.

Service was amazing. Food was above expectations. Will be back .

Love this place !! Nora and the new owners make this place food is always so good and fresh !! Thanks to the gingerman crew !!

Great food and good service. Staff is friendly and the food came out very quickly. Don t hesitate, come here for breakfast!

Great atmosphere, great service and excellent food.

You wont leave hungry at The Gingerman! Our waitress was fantastic. Food recommendations provided were delicious. A little gem.

Have now eaten here twice once lunch and once the Italian dinner. Charlie the owner is very attentive and insures you are never lacking for beverages upon seating and after ordering the food arrives quickly hot fresh and delicious. It is a family affair with his lovely wife Sofia as well as their children pitching in to make sure your visit is enjoyable. I would not hesitate to recommend anyone to stop in and find out why I will drive an hour from home for an enjoyable meal somewhere you are treated like family.

Everything was amazing! Friendly server. Food has lots of flavour and the portions are huge. Highly recommend it. I will be coming back for sure.

A great greasy spoon with honest food! We had eggs Benedict with peameal bacon. Bacon was thick! Corn beef sandwich was also great. Greek salad was okay, but could use more dressing and olives. Will definitely come back to this great place!

Love gingerman have been going there for years. Staff excellent food excellent and plentiful Thanks to all the staff for there smiles Food : 5/5

Love the Gingerman, great food. ,good portions. Friendly family cooking. Staff are wonderful. Take our Mum all the time for breakfast. Go Celtic Go Food

First time I ordered there steak n eggs asked for poached runny eggs I didnt get toast for either order tried call n havent been able to contact them but very disappointed

Super friendly and attentive service! The food is great with mega portions. Vegetarian options: The veggie omelette options are good Food : 5/5 |

Meh

Weve been to the Gingerman four times in the last month (theyve got a good thing going!). The food, the service and the staff are fantastic. The place has been a staple in the neighbourhood for years now and recently just came under new management. We were happy to see that this place still delivers, if not better! The owners, Sophia, Charlie and Aris were very welcoming and the staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. We have three young children and everyone walked away happy and with full bellies. The portion sizes are incredible, so come hungry or dont be ashamed to share plates. We will definitely be returning in the future! Kid-friendliness: The entire staff and the owners went out of their way to ensure that the kids were well taken care of.

We said about all the dishes that were served again that they were delicious about 20 times. Its so delicious. Fresh fried waffles , and eggs Benedict with peameal bacon on ham tasty! It s so delicious that I made an appointment to bring the kids here tomorrow! Adults Date~Part 2 Very kind!

Very old school diner. (Just the way I like it) very unassuming front and you might miss it if you re not looking for it. Very large portions and my eggs Benedict was made perfectly with excellent hollandaise. Definitely my new breakfast spot.

SUUUPERRR friendly staff. I entered and honestly so many people said hello I thought they must be mistaking me for someone else. The second time I came, I experienced the same warm welcome as if I was family. That s just how friendly they are here!! Food is AMAZING, comes quickly and is very delicious. This is definitely a stop everyone should visit!!

This is where I had the best meal of two weeks stay in Toronto! Absolutely an excellent option to have a brunch. There are many good options, but the Eggs Benedict is more than a great meal. I strongly recommend if you are in this area.

Update: little disappointed, had unknown foof charge of .50 cents . Never noticed it before with old owners.. asked about it at cash.. new owner said was rye bread ..extra charge.. i said oh never had it before . Waitress was near by . Overheard . The waitress said they always had this.. i just never noticed.. its not indicated on the menu i said . Well with food price s everything went up.. owner said.. my response was I get it.. she just kept talking over me . The issue really never was the cost.. .50 cents . .. it was about asking a question.. I just was wondering why.. she said ryes extra.. still confused never had this charge on bill from other company ..old owner.. She could have deescalated the situation by just saying . Sorry about that.. you should have been informed.. .. i love the food do much. The price for three eggs pkus bacon or sausage is $11.99. They could raise this to 15.99. I would still come. Arguing and not being listened to bring talked over.. not where i want to be. I will find an alternative. My friends behaviour was inappropriate i do not apologize for someone else. Waitress should have indicated extra charge. Good bye gingerbread man..till we meet again! Listening to people s concerns is all we really want. Life is too short.. i would be terrified to ask the lady owned for anything. My first visit was awesome. Was not about the money just inquiries as to why. Just statement never charged prior or never noticed I never received print out before paying.. eat go pay. The receipt at the table caught me by surprise Absolutely the best food and the best service... love Breakfast. my favorite place to go. Well worth the visit always .. every time. I decide sometimes to make a custom order for something not directly priced on the menu. They have always priced my customer orders in a fair way.

I am back recommending this place for breakfast again. Had been off the radar for awhile. New Owners have brought things back to life I must agree when they say you will not go hungry. Come hungry for the 4 egg omlette, home fries, and toast!! Staff is efficient, service is prompt, accept special requests, and food comes out hot!! You might want to follow on Facebook. I am now seeing more promotions on for different dinner specials/promotions.

This was our first time going to the Gingerman Restaurant. We had a wonderful experience. The owner and staff were very friendly. The food was delicious, portions big and the atmosphere had that down East country feel. A great family restaurant and we will be going again. You wont leave here hungry. Thank you Gingerman for the great experience

This is a truly wonderful place with amazing food, service and feeling. We visited a couple of times during our trip to Canada but if time had allowed I d have eaten there every day. Pancakes, French Toast, Bacon, Peameal Bacon, the best eggs ever and so much more was a true triumph and when I next visit Toronto, I ll be heading straight back here!

Consistently great food and excellent service. They can get really busy but still do their best to provide a good environment. The food portions are often more than you can eat but quality does not suffer.

Great little diner with fantastic food, large menu selection, and friendly servers. I went the first time because it was a convenient location and back again for the food

This place is garbage now that the new owners have taken over. Do not recommend. Bad food, long waits and bad service. Pure trash.

This is the ultimate old fashioned greasy spoon restaurant. All day breakfasts, clubhouse sandwiches, open face turkey and roast beef sandwiches, etc. When you walk inside today it probably isnt much different than it was in the seventies with the exception of the debit machine. Good food and big portions. I live not too far from this place and never knew about it until someone recommended it. Since then Ive been coming about once every 2 weeks when I need a nice big meal.

I came to this restaurant with people telling that it was the greatest breakfast place ever. My take is its very good and if you are in the area go by all means, but i wouldnt recommend driving across the city. I really have no negative comments. Food is very good and comes to the table hot. Service is awesome. However the area is kinda sketchy so be aware.

Wonderful family run diner that is so relaxing and fantastic food!

most overrated diner in the GTA

Fairly priced, great service, huge portions, delicious meal!

Our group of 10 had an excellent experience. The food was good and the portions were generous and our server was excellent. She was very friendly, efficient and she made our out of country visitors feel very welcome by speaking to them in their native language. I definitely recommend this restaurant for breakfast and we will return again. Oh and yes, there was plenty of free parking in front of the restaurant!

11:15 Wednesday morning, coffee was old and terrible, home fries, bacon, sausage was old and should have been tossed out. The ham in the breakfast plate and in the western omelet was bad , could not eat either. Another customer sent back the lunch special. I should have left then.They need to fire the chef. What a disappointment. Was excellent a few years ago. We ate there Monday and Wednesday this week, both meals sucked!

Unassuming diner with all day breakfast, lunch and dinner options. Service is friendly and efficient.

Very delicious food (highly recommend the gravy to go with your homefries), great portion size, extremely friendly staff and a nice family restaurant vibe! Great place to go in the area for breakfast, convenient that there is parking out front as well :)

Fries yummy burger was ok,

They were open on the Thanksgiving Monday so we decided to stop by for breakfast. Food was delicious and service was fast and friendly. We ordered the regular breakfast (3 eggs w/ sausage) and the veggie omelette. Both were incredibly delicious and made to our order preferences. Home fries were excellent too. Making this a new regular spot!

Have been coming here for 30 years, seen many changes. The food is good, good size servings, and fresh. The service today is more indifferent then the ladies of the past. Atmosphere never changes, family friendly neighborhood restaurant. Food : 4/5 |

A family staple of ours. Feels like home every time you walk in. The home fries are delicious!

A nice little greasy spoon thats tucked away and easy to miss. Nice atmosphere with delicious food. Staff welcomed us as this was our first time here. Pleased and we will definitely be continuing to come back. Keep it up Update. After coming here many times I am very disappointed this time. Fish was over breaded chicken fingers were tough. Waitress is different from the other and not as welcoming. Im sad.

Good hearty comfort food with generous portions. The ownership has recently changed and while quality has generally remained, the French fries are now frozen. Still, a recommended diner spot especially for breakfast.

Family restaurants are the best.

Great place - for fine dining, but great neighborhood dinner, good food, and you always feel welcome.

Great food with great service Dietary restrictions: I asked for no salt and they were able to accommodate me. Very happy about this. Food : 5/5 |

I love gingermans. This place is my favorite breakfast place. Travel an hour to get here and its worth it every time .

After a busy day, I had a strong craving for breakfast food. I happened to come across this restaurant on skip the dishes, so I decided to give it a try - Im so glad I did! It was a quick pick up and the woman who greeted me was just lovely. When I got home, I saw that the portion size was huge! I ordered the eggs benedict with peameal bacon and home fries... everything was so delicious - Ill definitely have to order from them again!

Really good food

Best eggs Benny you ll ever have

Breakfast is solid

Great food. Large portions. Great service. (The pancakes are like a sponge made of pure butter.)

Great food! In fact, today I was served the best bacon and eggs breakfast Ive ever had from a diner style restaurant. I was forced for the first time in my life to leave some home fries on the plate. The service was fast and the staff is extremely friendly. I highly recommend stopping here for something to eat!

Food here is amazing ,been coming for years ,very smooth transition into new owners , same cooks ,same food ..10 out of 10

Ordered the Hot Turkey All White Meat with vegetables and comes with gravy. Ordered from Skip the dishes. Well, I requested fries and they sent mashed potatoes instead, and did not send any gravy, which is included with the meal.Therefore, it lacks any flavor, looks unappealing and is very bland and dry. I am not happy and have requested for a refund

Excellent for a good old greasy-spoon breakfast. Service was quick, the coffee was hot, and the food was delicious!

Friendly servers, cash is preferred

Your regular neighborhood diner!

Diner style restaurant.

The mediterranean omelette and home fries were delicious.

I ordered through Skip the Dishes - a toasted western sandwich with fries. I must say that it was the best toasted western Ive had in years. Im sure it would have been even more amazing if I had been dining in.

I love this place! No matter how busy, the servers are always so pleasant and kind. The food is delicious, typical diner fare. I always leave happy and feel well taken care of. Ive only ever had breakfast here - which is yummy and sizable - but Im sure everything is good. Shout out to the staff: you are lovely!

Eggs bennys was ice cold. Had it with Smoked salmon. They added capers and onion. NOT to eggs bennys! Waited a long time to go and wont be going back!

the best brekkie place in the east end
