Family owned and operated, striving to provide our customers with high quality food and service!
Great service from Lambrini! Had the Meat Madness Benny with corned beef brisket… they do not hold back on portion sizes! The egg was perfectly poached soft!
First off the staff here are very welcoming. The Christmas vibes and decorations make it feel like home and the food is made with care . 5 star 100% must come
Absolutely loved my first visit here! The Eggs Benny and the Early Bird breakfast were phenomenal—huge portions, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious. The bottomless coffee kept flowing, and the service was top-notch: super friendly, incredibly fast, and efficient. My meal arrived quickly, and every bite was fantastic. The washroom was spotless and smelled fresh, which speaks volumes about their attention to detail. As a breakfast restaurant owner myself, I truly appreciate the quality and effort they put in. 100% coming back. Keep up the amazing work! Early Bird Special🌞 🐦 👌🔥
if i could give a -5 star review i would! absolutely ridiculous how they are even in the business. look at the photo of smoked Salmon. Awful quality of food. ( ordered from uber) do not go with the good reviews ( which we did) must be all fake
Very deceived. Reviews are so good that my expectations were high. Only positive thing is that staff was nice and we barely waited to have a table. But food was mediocre for the price tag. Chicken with waffle was probably the least worse of the 3 dishes but was very dry, waffle taste decent and breaded chicken is blend. Egg Benedict with guacamole was very soggy and doesn't taste much. "Crepe" is a thin pancake with condensed milk kind of cream.. quite bad. Ended up >$70 for 3 mediocre dishes.
I love finding and experiencing new breakfast/brunch places in the city. R&D did not disappoint! Pleasant atmosphere and staff make it clear that this is a popular local spot. A friend and I both had the Cornbeef hash. Hash is done with larger pieces of cornbeef and onions and topped with well-done, crispy homefries. Bottomless coffee was free flowing. We will be back again.
Our waitress was a blinde lady! Wish I got her name! We are new to this area! She had amazing customer service, food came quick and was delicious! Very reasonably priced, kid friendly. We will be going back!
Was told about this by one of our neighbours. Very clean, small, cozy spot that looks like it was a repair shop from prior years. Nicely designed and decorated. Service was very good. We had the Tag Team Championship breakfast which was below average and could be improved. Pancakes weren't fluffy enough and not very moist. Bacon was hard and overdone. Sausage was the one that most breakfast places serve that have a bitter after taste. Hopefully they can improve a bit because they have great potential.
Nice staff.
Love the typical diner feel. I come with my family once in awhile for Sunday morning breakfast. Staff is friendly and attentive. Our go to spot for dine in breakfast!
Good service and good food... Prices are down to earth, unlike most other breakfast places.... Definately our go to
Fast ,friendly and efficient service.great food at a good price.
Awesome place for breakfast. How lots of options, refill the coffee, very friendly staff, Pa and Ma restaurant atmosphere.
Fantastic breakfast. Staff friendly polite. Clean restaurant. Variety of food. Food
Cozy, family-run diner
Decent breakfast place... although when did the default egg meal start with 3 eggs?
The staff is amazing,the service was totally amazing. Been back and forth for many years. It s my go to breakfast place for family and friends. Awesome job keep up the good service R and D. Parking: 20 spots at least Kid-friendliness: Amazing options and portions for kids
Best breakfast in the city amazing food service and prices large portions.
Our go to family breakfast place! Best food always fresh, so many selections to choose from. Such a cozy family friendly atmosphere. Overall a must visit place!
Love this place. Best breakfast
Food was really great, service is excellent, really good atmosphere, clean and lots of light.
Large portions at a great price and the options are amazing. The coffee is really good too!
Food was amazing,had the Pacino breakfast,awesome,service was friendly and attentive,clean environment inside and out I will make a trip back in the near future,also bought a bag of coffee because I enjoyed the brew so much Food : 5/5
Dine in- is good. Uber eats on the other hand: two stars. The packaging is terrible, plastic bag was used with a knot. No cutlery, no ketchup, no jam was given, and lastly NO NAPKINS. Pretty disappointed. 2 stars and not (1) because the food was abundant and fresh.
Forgot my juice on skip.. absurd prices there as well in hindsight.
Kid-friendliness: Yes Food
Good food and good service at a good price.
Rise and Dine is the ultimate local breakfast spot, and it s easy to see why! This gem offers a cozy atmosphere and a menu filled with delicious classics. The staff is friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. If youre looking for a breakfast experience that combines great food with warm hospitality, Rise and Dine is a must-visit. You won t be disappointed!
Great service and great food
Immaculate service. Their pancakes are surprisingly really good. Nice crispy edges with fluffy inside. Incredibly generous portion and delicious food.
Awesome food! Great service! Highly recommend!
Did an uber order, food was not what I expected. Omelette was dry and bland, no utensils or condiments were given. Over all, not good. Do not let the star review fool you! Id give at best 2 starts at best.
Pleasant place for breakfast
6:58 AM Ordered Early Bird Special and Look what got Charged and I paid 15% Tip on Top. Sometime owner operated business not good. Vegetarian so no meat option as well. Trying to Rob !!!!!!!!!
Genuinely awful food.
Not a breakfast person but this was one of the best breakfast places Ive visited for what it was trying to do, your classic diner-style. Waitresses were sweet, prices were about average (just under $20/person, before tax), wasnt crowded on Saturday morning. Vegetarian options: Avocado/guac Benedict with home fries, was good.
Awesome service and waffles and pancakes and coffee.
Food is delicious, especially the pancakes. And the service is excellent. Prices are reasonable too, which is rare nowadays.
Staff and food is amazing. Highly recommend. I enjoyed everything on my plate
Big portions. Our server eas Top Shelf! Great placevto take the family after Sunday curch.
I dont know where to start. Folks around the area raved about this place, but it left very little to be desired. Its not bad food, but it didnt leave me wanting to finish it. The potatoes were rock hard and possibly overcooked. Eggs were good, soft. Corn beef tasted like it was just there, no extra flavor. Hollandaise was just drooped on and sorta watery taste. Cant tell if delivery just has a different presentation, but definitely not ordering from here again, but willing to see if the restaurant experience is better, because it looks amazing judging from pictures from other reviewers.
One of those experiences where the reviews don t match the experience. 4.6 stars made me think this was going to be my go to greasy spoon, but I was unfortunately wrong. Not a bad place at all but mediocre at best. From a service standpoint they re good, but the food lacks personality. Like I said, not bad but not good either.
Had a great Fathers Day breakfast with my family at Rise and Dine. Delicious food, friendly staff, and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend!
Great breakfast!!!
Great family restaurant
Bread is not buttered Not syrup for pancakes No cutlerys Asked politely to rectify the situation they hanged up on me. Felt sooo bad, made me feel so bad, I would never go there again
I usally love this place. Sliced lunch meat is not cornbeef hash. I was so disappointed I threw it in the trash
I love Rise and Dine. Their fries are the absolute best. Everything I ve had here is SO good. Tomatoes are always fresh.
Enjoyed breakfast here today. Fresh, quality food served they way we asked. Server was very friendly and fast.
Was a great family atmosphere! Both us and the kids loved the breakfast and the price was good. Kid-friendliness: Staff were really good with my large family of young children. They made sure we had what we needed and felt welcomed.
Lambrini was a great waitress. Excellent customer service. About six months ago. I went again today, this time with my wife. Georgia and Thomas helped us out. Once again, excellent customer service was provided.
Awesome staff and amazing food. Good job. Thanks. See you soon then Food
Garbage food and service
Great family-owned resto. We were greeted with smiles immediately and the food came within 10 minutes. We were served by Thomas, the son of the owners he was very friendly. We were asked no fewer than four times if we wanted more coffee (by all the servers which says a lot about a resto to me). The coffee is quite strong but better that than too weak like a lot of other places. The menu includes all the breakfast options. The Hollandaise is not homemade but still decent. The syrup is not real but still ok. The pancakes are huge. They serve real butter. It wasn t noisy which is often the case at breakfast places. I love that they have booths. They are wheelchair accessible and have their own free parking. Only one con: no freshly-squeezed juice.
Busy breakfast place. Go early. No line at but one at 11
Pretty expensive for simple breakfast foods, but it was fresh and well seasoned. They don t substitute AT ALL, which would have been nice.
Googled breakfast near me, this place looked good but I m usually skeptical, let me tell you, you can EAT off the floor it s so clean in here, the staff is so friendly, the food is amazing, my server Maria was EXCEPTIONAL !!!!! 100000000/10 would ABSOLUTELY recommend this place and ask for Maria ! You won t regret it !!!
Ive loved coming to this place for the last couple months. The food is nothing more than impeccable, and the service is 10/10. The workers are very kind and patient, especially when youre like me and have a hard time choosing what you want LOL. The atmosphere is very homey and inviting. Best place to go when you want a good cup of coffee and a filling brunch. Parking: Theres parking right beside the restaurant! Kid-friendliness: The workers were so nice to me when I bring my baby cousins. They even had little papers for them to draw on and stick on the community board!! So cute.
Food and staff were great! Perfect for a nice breakfast with family.
Tried Rise & Dine for breakfast. Fantastic family owned and operated restaurant. Great tasting food, warm friendly atmosphere, and perfect portions. Definitely going back again.
Absolutely brilliant experience!! Staff are friendly, professional and always eager to please! Food is plentiful and delicious! Great place, will continue to frequent often! Kid-friendliness: Family business all about families!!!
I have historically ordered a lot from this place as I felt it was good value, but today I ordered and got less than half of the quantity that I normally would get. I will never order from this place again and advise you to go elsewhere as its now a huge ripoff.
the booth seats were kinda small, it needed more leg room. the 3 eggs corn beef hash came in a small bowl with a big plate at the bottom kinda small portion for $18
Amazing food, hospitable staff, speedy customer service.. SHALL I GO ON?! Chris and Debbie are amazing - HUGE thank you to the both of you for catering on my behalf <3
Very disappointed 2-3 times per month I pass by Oconnor and always stop in for the early bird special. Because traffic was a little thicker this morning I arrived at the rise and dine at 9:15am. Early bird is from 7-9am. 15 minutes late and the lady told me I couldn t have the special. Talk about a dictatorship country Canada is turning into. A group of people telling you what you can and cannot eat at what time of day and especially a breakfast place. It s just a clock to some but not here It s written in stone. I ll never come back here again. Michael Recycle
Today was my first time at this restaurant the food was great service was awesome and I will be back for something new on this great vast menu!
Hands down.. the best breakfast spot in the city. Been coming here for over 3 years now and I m never disappointed. The service and food is amazing!
Good brunch in Toronto to share with family and friends. Big plates and equal prices.
Food was cold and toast was not roasted enough.
Amazing place to have your breakfast or brunch. The owners personally get involved with customers and take care of them. Food
Service was ok although the waitress seem to be clueless on the menu - which leaves much to be desired. Was going to have a burger but they don t use regular buns. I ordered a BLT and it came with the toast dry and the bacon overcooked. My wife mentioned it to the waitress and we were told; get this, We don t butter toast or sandwiches . What?? Really?? My dad ordered a Western Omelette and ended up with a toasted Western sandwich - again with the toast dry. Not to mention the wrong order. He ate it anyway. My wife ordered eggs Benedict and said it was good so at least there s that. We will never return. I would not recommend this place.
Ordered food through Uber and only have problems when you order anything different than stated on the menu. Even ordering no toast or simple requests like cut up side of sausage and add to scrambler are missed. I called manager who said they were busy on weekends and were unable to do it. She did not care. The food is decent otherwise but I will never order from here again. Dietary restrictions: They don t respect notes that relate to food allergies so beware.
A great breakfast spot. Amazing food and service
Consistency! always great food & Service. Very friendly environment.
Good food, service was okay she was friendly but keep leaving in the middle of a conversation which left me talking to myself a couple of times
I love this restaurant for breakfast and brunch. My number 1 go to place! The food is deliciously amazing, the service is always good and kind; lovely place!
Amazing food and service. Very clean and comfortable. By far the best breakfast joint in all of gta.
Never a bad meal at rise and dine! Great staff, excellent food and always clean. Love coming here and will continue to make this a regular breakfast spot, and cant wait to try the lunch specials!!!
We have been coming here since the store first opened. We really enjoyed the homemade burgers and fresh cut home fries. Today, we returned snd orderd our favorites looking forward to what we have become accustomed to. Unfortunately we were disappointed The homemade handcrafted burger was a frozen patty and the wonderful home fries were the frozen variety as well. We asked the server who was friendly as always if the menu had changed. She checked with the kitchen staff and confirmed our findings. We asked her to pass on our feedback to the management that this was not what we have come to expect from this great place to eat and express our disappointment. Its too bad that everyone is trying to cut corners and save money, however they unfortunately will likely loose customers doing so. Hopefully they can go back to what made them so good.
Good spread all around...definitely be back when in the neighborhood
Just had my first visit to this establishment, and I have to say it was fantastic. Friendly and efficient staff and talk about fast service... The food was so fresh and absolutely amazing it wont be my last visit, thats for sure! Highly recommend to anyone that loves a great breakfast experience.
Ive been here a few times now with my family. Food & service is good. Staff is friendly and prices are reasonable.
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Our waitress was lovely very approachable she told us about the specials. The food was amazing really good portions. I would go back
Very good food and amazing service! Staff here is very friendly.
Very good experience and food is good. Definite will return.
Family favourite!
Our first time eating here since moving to Scarborough. Amazing breakfast, excellent price, lovely staff and I cant believe the portion size! Husband and I both got Eggs Benedict, he got the Montreal version with brisket. I requested fruit instead of home fries and got a lovely huge bowl of fresh berries. If you want to eat in Scarborough with the family, this is the perfect place!
Oringal menu, all five of us enjoyed very different options
I had a breakfast burrito and it was good, nothing special. My husband had eggs Benedict and it was delicious.
We love the food here, family run restaurant excellent staff friendly fast service
A regular here and the 5 stars reviews were spot on. No wait time! The staff were friendly and fast and the service was equally the same. Great fresh cooking compared to others in the area. Highly recommended! Parking: Free lots of parking on site. No worries of tickets!
Classic breakfast place that clearly hit the spot. Prices are good and portions generous. Waiters are efficient and polite.
Very nice staff. A bit expensive, food looks great- pancakes were a bit dry. Wouldn t recommend- however the crepes were amazing! Lunch we went with kids. It was a clean comfortable environment would recommend as a grate brunch place for two friends.
Came here with a friend of mine and the staff was soo sweet. I did receive old pancakes and they apologized and I got a new set. The food is good. Quiet little gem on the east side is Toronto. Close to nice communities that are nice to walk through on a sunny day. <3
Best breakfast option around and we ve tried them all.
Good food! Bacon could be cooked longer but that is my personal preference. Other than that service was great, attentive, fast, love the different style mugs that are big and while they refill it efficiently enough unlike sunset grill small mugs and don t refill as often, the coffee is nice and hot. Thanks!
Went in at a busy time, but it was worth waiting for a table. The meal was delicious, i think Ill go again sometime soon. Parking: Theres a pharmacy close by that has a decent sized parking lot.
Great menu and service. Became a popular spot over the years, an East York gem near St. Clair and OConnor.
Been here first time. Enjoyed everything - food, service, staff attention and the atmosphere. Food
The place is so friendly and the staff is nice and simple. I liked the atmosphere here. Prices are normal market ones, but plates are big and food is delicious. Everything is fresh and tasty. Bottomless coffee was also good. Highly recommended. Cool place, I really liked it! Tasty, affordable, satisfying!
We had a fantastic brunch, the food is amazing and the service is just as amazing! Highly recommend!
Came for a late breakfast after reading the reviews. Was just ok for me. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was average to mediocre. I ordered the Mediterranean scrambler. It was dry and lacking flavour. For $16.49, I expected better. Feta was merely sprinkled on top of dry scrambled eggs with some onions and too large green pepper dices. Do better. Get moisture from the tomatoes and melt the feta into the eggs to make this a better scrambler. And the black olives were nowhere to be found. Maybe I ordered the wrong breakfast dish and other more basic breakfast options like bacon and eggs are better but I left here disappointed after making a trip from Cabbagetown to come here (based on reviews)
Exceptional service & positive vibes. Their food is always quick & delicious. Our son devoured every bite Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly environment. Staff are always super sweet to little ones. We came with our 2yr old and he had a great time. Lots of high chairs ready.
Absolutely horrid service, doubled their delivery time behind my back and were not helpful at all whatsoever.
I gave 5 stars because google wont let me give any more =) Ill try the pancakes next. They looked great. I was jealous of my niece. Food
We went for a girls brunch on Good Friday. The place was busy, and the atmosphere was upbeat. The food was fresh, with generous portions, and our coffee cups were kept full. The service was excellent. We will definitely come back.
this place is wonderful definitely recommend it for everyone, if you re feeling breakfast or brunch 100% check out this place it rocks!! Vegetarian options: i am not vegetarian but i did see there is a lot of vegetarian options on the menu Parking: parking lot is spacious Kid-friendliness: kids menu is fantastic Wheelchair accessibility: helpful staff, wide spaces
Great place for breakfast Huge menu Great service
Freshs. Friendly. High quality. A wonderful experience :)
Under New Management.This is my new favorite breakfast place. The coffee was served nice and hot and the food was delicious. We loved the ambiance of the place and the staff were very sweet and professional. Service was fast. We will definetly be returning. Hope to try the lunch menu or take out next time. It gets busy fast for a reason. Great food and great staff. Thank you. Parking: Parking is convient but limited spots. Its worth the wait
Delicious and clean!!! Its not crowded like EVERY other breakfast/lunch restaurant in Toronto...
Great staff and good food.
Fantastic service and atmosphere. Prices are ok. The food quality and presentation could be better. Overall, at typical Canadian brunch place that deserves a visit.
Wonderful food, very generous portions, and a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff are especially attentive and helpful. A neighbourhood gem for breakfast, brunch and lunch. Chris and Debbie are hosts in the best sense of the word.
The Staff are wonderful. Its a family run restaurant and you feel like one of the family! Great service, excellent food and generous portions at very reasonable prices. Ill be back for sure! Vegetarian options: The egg oriented options are plentiful. Parking: Good parking available. Kid-friendliness: This is a great place for families. Very welcoming to young and old!
Very very very typical Diner breakfast. Thats not a complaint or a bad thing. Knowing that you can come here and be served solid food, is what some people look for. Its comfort breakfast food.
This place never lets us down! Like a 99 mph fastball it s always good. Tough part is the menu- too many awesome options!!! Montreal Smoked Meat on anything plays nicely. Also- personal shoutout to Lambrini, who was awesome and available even during a breakfast rush. Highly recommend!
I ordered from this place often but this is happening too often now. You spend 50$ on breakfast for 2 people, and they never ever send syrop. Last time we called they said you have to specify that you want syrup with your pancakes so this time I did and still no syrup. Just ruins your breakfast. Nice people but Im tired of getting frustrated right before Im supposed to enjoy my meal. Good food but never ordering from here again.
This is my Morning Stop. The Breakfast and/or Brunch is the Best in Toronto. The Owners/ Staff are Sensational Always. Parking: Dont drive but when I get a ride here always find parking.
Today we tried the guacamole bread with pouched egg . Blueberry pancakes and French taste. We couldnt have enough of it!! Recommend it for sure.. they should open for dinner too cuz I would have it again..
Amazing service with helpful people in a beautifully posh vintage looking environment.
We came with 9 people for Father s Day breakfast with no reservation. They were very busy but we were still sat in only about 15 mins. Fantastic service and food with huge portions. Everyone was so nice and always seemed to have a smile on their face. Everything we asked for came almost came straight away. The owners both came and checked on us to make sure everything was good - which it certainly was! I HIGHLY recommend this establishment. Thank you for a lovely meal. Keep up the great work!
Nine of us, four kids and Father s Day brunch. Got seated quickly, service was superb, food was fantastic and we all had a great time. Prices are very reasonable. Best place in Toronto for a family breakfast.
The avocado benny and strawberry crepe are amazing, friendly staff and great service. A regular neighborhood favourite for us.
Every time I ve gone with different family or friends the service & food is exceptional. The staff are great. I love the crepe selection. My favourite is strawberry crepes When they learned it was my birthday they created an amazing fried cheesecake and put a candle on it
Great food and better service
Great food and nice servers. A bit on the pricey side. The small, open room design also made it really loud when one large family gathering had 2 screaming kids they werent paying attention to.
Decent food. Nothing seems extraordinary but very good. I suggest going with a topping other than apple on the pancakes or waffles. Pancakes were very good, the apple is a pretty low quality canned apple pie filling. There were other toppings that looked far more appetizing that I saw other people eating. The breakfast poutine with eggs was very good. The hashbrowns are are the frozen kind, but I would definitely go again if I was in the area.
I have tried Rise & Dine a couple of times both in person and delivery The restaurant is a cute little place with a nice friendly atmosphere The benefit of eating in is everything is hot and fresh and large portions Fabulous place for breakfast!!
Maria and Debbie took such great care of us! Food was fantastic!
Highly recommend
Lively brunch spot with a dazzling menu and it hits the spot. Loved everything we ordered. If you re looking for a nice brunch spot in the area, then this is one of the best around, I d say.
Great Atmosphere. Great Food but inadequate service. I would like to request an improvement in the service. Very Unique food selections and ambience. Choose a time when it is not busy. We went on Saturday morning and it was loud chaotic and almost no waiter was available. We waited over 30 minutes to get a coffee refill. My friend said he would never visit that place on weekend ever.
Great breakfast! Loved the atmosphere, the colour scheme, the brightness, the Hollywood theme done in a classy manner and I was very impressed at how very clean the restaurant is! The staff are very friendly, helpful and extremely efficient. The menu has lots of selection, food is great, just make sure you re hungry when you go as portions are huge.
The brunch at Rise and Dine is never a let down. We love going there on Sundays
Excellent quality. Warm service. Great experience.
Food and price is fantastic, it will get to the place and the staff will make you not want to leave, very kind
Good food.
Great service and fresh food. Really enjoyed our breakfast experience.
Nice breakfast place & staff are very friendly
Great
I truly have no idea why this place has such a high rating. Our server was great but the food was terrible. Cute place, but aesthetics are no reason to eat somewhere. I ordered the pulled pork eggs benedict and the pork was not good, nor tossed in sauce like it should ve been... the BBQ sauce (more like ketchup?) was on the English muffin and pork was sitting on top? The hollandaise sauce was ok, the eggs themselves were a little underdone for a medium poach. The home fries were cold and stale and had no seasoning? Truly the worst breakfast I ve had in my life. My boyfriend got the pancakes and enjoyed that, but his side of bacon was cold and stale as well. His coffee was burnt. The best part of my meal was the chocolate milk! Couldn t mess that up though.
I ordered crepes and they were cold. I had to saw with my knife to get through the bottom. Servers were wonderful. Food is usually excellent.
Unfortunately, got the angry waitress... had pancakes, which were OK but not worth the price tag... My bill came to 26 bucks? I am ashamed they charged me 6 bucks for bacon from yesterday... was in here at 7 and that bacon was NOT made today.... Why would this tedtursnt send me this message? I have been doing carpentry around the neighbourhood for a month now and this was my go to spot... but I guess they dont want me here? Fine... Guess they couldnt handle their own success and gave up this morning... hope youre happy... Old review - Exactly what I want in a breakfast place! Ordered eggs over easy, white toast, hash browns, coffee... and got exactly that! First time in a long while driving across the country where home fries were cooked and crispy and awesome. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. Not sure who their specialty menu applies to, not sure Im brave enough to try any of that - overall good experience!
I go here 5 days a week with my 2 coworkers I get something different every time and I love all of it my coworkers get the same thing everyday but it s because they love it so much. The prices are very good for the quality and quantity of food you get especially compared to other breakfast places. The servers are all amazing and super nice they check on us about 3-4 times to refill coffee s and water and to ask if everything is ok and if we need anything else The servers also always give great recommendations for what to get, although I have tried %80 of the menu and I can tell you with out a doubt no matter what you order you will be happy The menu is easy to read and the prices are beside the items so it s easy to know how much your spending and the servers will help you order if you want to make an edit on an item with is just great in my opinion not a lot of places do that well Parking: There is a fair amount of packing and if there full there is more free parking across the street with is normally always empty Kid-friendliness: I see kids and family s here all the time and they always look like there having a blast
1st time here! Great food and amazing service. Staff are super friendly. Well be back. Parking: Lots of free parking Kid-friendliness: Family and kid friendly.
Amazing food and service! Eggs Benny was perfect
Amazing food and service!
My grandma comes here with the rest of the Meals on Wheels group. They really enjoy it as I was told. I decided to try it, and let me tell you, its such a great place and easy free parking in front. They are so good that word is that a place called boca on Cosburn and its questionable reviews had copied their menu. But without the recipe its pointless. The taste is bland. This is why everyone from all over the GTA and further out come to this place Rise & Dine Eatery in East York. The reviews are real, not paid for and speak for themselves. If companies such as Meals On Wheels bring all their members here, there is a reason. Parking: Front parking away from street
I would of rated the food 5 stars, however the service wasn t the best, coming from hospitality, steps of service is always important. No table checks? Waiting over 10 mins for our server to even ask to bring us a bill.. while we are clearly done; Management checking tables but not touching mine, not to mention our server looked like she was getting triple sat.. meanwhile there were at least 4 different servers on the floor with about 5 tables.. just wasn t impressed.
I would like to thank all the waiters for their service. I am sure we love to come again.
Delicious. So many great choices.
Easy to park Clean and fresh Staff cheerful and happy Especially Maria who served us she was great
Best place for brunch
A lovely spot with delicious food. Had brunch with a bunch of internet friends I met up with for the first time this week. A great experience.
I love this place. It s my happy place and with the amazing staff, friendly faces, this family run business does it right. Coffee refills, extensive menu, big booths, free parking and upbeat music makes this an enjoyable experience EVERY TIME I GO. sometimes it s very busy and sometimes it s quiet so yeah, if you go on a weekend when everyone seems to go, you might have to wait longer. Plan accordingly but be sure to plan to go. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Very cute brunch place. A little on the pricier side. But worth going to. Loving the kids menu.
Our family just tried this place for the first time, and the food is fantastic !! I would recommend this place to everyone. We ordered through uber. I had the Philly sandwich...let me just say this its real roast beef. So incredibly delicious . My fiancee tried the apple crepe. He absolutely loved it . My daughter had the champion breakfast and loved it. Thank you soo much for the wonderful food. Definitely will be back again. Ps the mini donuts are fantastic.
Amazing food
Best breakfast place in town.
Great atmosphere, extremely friendly staff, very clean, great service and food. Great place for breakfast, brunch and lunch. So happy we found this place.
Vegetarian options: Omelets Food
Great breakfast!
Wow!! Fantastic Benny. So hot and fresh. The hollandaise sauce was amazing. Perfectly cooked eggs.Excellent service too. Happy crew works here I highly recommend
Great breakfast place! Chris and his wife Debbie both work with all their kids to provide a great family atmosphere with good food and service.
Staff was very friendly. The food was good but it was not hot when it reached the table. Good portions of food. Average price
Great for the greasy breakfast. Wide variety of options. Poutine is great.
Best breakfast ever
It was my first time and I had a really great experience. Staff were very friendly and made the dine in experience a great one. Will definitely return!
This is a lovely spot for breakfast. Great food, generous portions, excellent service, friendly staff.
Check your bill and the amount on the credit card machine before you tap. The waitress likes to add a 20% tip without telling you.
Absolutely delicious food and great service.
Such a great atmosphere! So cozy! Nice music! Nice family-run business! Nice clientele also, and in a nice neighbourhood! Also convenient parking beside the restaurant! Looking forward to dining here again! :) Parking: Convenient parking that is free in an attractive lot beside the restaurant! :) Kid-friendliness: Family-friendly! :)
Top best place for Breakfast Brunch and,lunch. I love this place. It s my happy place and with the amazing staff, friendly faces, this family run business does it right. Coffee refills, extensive menu, big booths, free parking. Seconds away from the OConnor Bridge. Highly Recommended Food
This is a wonderful spot. Great staff and food was hot, fresh and filling. Really recommend this place if you want a wonderful experience
Yes. It is exactly what you think it is. And exactly what you want in a breakfast joint.
Amazing service, husband and wife are very attentive to the guest and welcoming felt like I was in their home! Food was great! Definitely will go back!
Always the best in East York by the OConor Bridge where St.Clair and OConor Splits. Free on site parking with no stress and great customer service. The owner of this place has It running like a Swiss Clock. The prices are great and the reviews here are real. Not like the place on Cosburn Avenue with gouging pricing and its a hit or miss there. I also have issues with made up reviews by family and friends. This place I can assure you its always enjoyable. RISE N DINE IS MY #1 CHOICE! MAKE IT YOURS AND READ THE REVIEWS HERE AND YOU CAN TELL THEIR REAL! THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE! ENJOY!
Beautiful and warm environment with a home like welcome.
Had a wonderful experience for the first time Ive dined in a restaurant since the pandemic started. The staff were positive and supportive and very helpful created an environment you could feel comfortable in. The food was outstanding and definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a great breakfast place to eat at. Remember to give yourself time for parking if you are going during a busy time as there is limited space, but I would attest that there is a reason this place gets busy. Thank you again for a wonderful dine-in experience!
Had given 5 stars before but based on last visit have to drop to 3. Breakfast. Everything came cold, from coffee, bacon, to home fries. The over easy eggs were not cooked long enough The staff is still super friendly and very attentive. Will update rating if better, if I go back.
EDIT: Since my original review below, Ive become a regular at Rise & Dine. For an in-restaurant breakfast/brunch dining experience, it has no competitor in the area. HOWEVER, for delivery, I CANNOT recommend Rise & Dine. From ordering a few times, I can say confidently that the quality of their delivery is terrible. They consistently get orders wrong, for example my most recent order from today (see pictures). I asked for over easy eggs, and they gave me runny yolks that seemed more like they failed to keep the yolk intact from sunny-side up eggs. The food WILL arrive lukewarm at best. Theyll stick all of it in a tightly crammed container without care, creating one homogenous sloppy mess. Fries caked in yolk, soggy disgusting toast. All of this was probably prepared long before I ordered it, sitting under a heating lamp waiting to be shovelled carelessly into a single too-small container. The quality and care just isnt there for delivery, theyre just sending out this garbage as fast as they can. Which, considering Im a ten minute walk away, still took an hour to arrive (could be driver availability/UberEats nonsense, to be fair). Recommend them for a sit down experience, but steer clear of their delivery. Considering the good experience Ive had while dining in-restaurant, my new modified rating will be 2.5 stars, rounded down. -------------------------------------------- Original review: Amazing experience! Staff was very friendly, did a fantastic job. The service was speedy, they were always there to refill coffees, had all the bases covered. They didnt rush us out of the place, just great service. Food was fresh and delicious. The toast was soft and nice, the fries were really fresh and great, nothing was too greasy or cheap or anything. And the plates were stacked for the price! Tables were clean and nice! Condiments werent in gross containers like a lot of diner type places, even the salt and pepper seemed like it had been freshly filled. Highly recommend, this place deserves the good rating!
Wonderful restaurant. Sparkling clean, the service is exceptional, the food incredible, and the prices AMAZING! Mum had the eggs bene (three) with smoked salmon, was $5.00 cheaper than at a comparable chain breakfast restaurant, and better quality to boot. Rise and Dine has nicer decor than that chain restaurant as well.
Big fan of Rise & Dine!! One of our favorite breakfast and brunch places - food is fresh and tasty and service is friendly and efficient! Tried lunch today and my husband and I ordered the Cajun Chicken sandwich and Swiss Chicken Sandwich (both new on the menu) and loved them both! Chicken was crispy and seasoned well - would highly recommend!
