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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

February 22, 2024

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Plan accordingly but be sure to plan to go. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

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!

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!
