Dundas Street Grille in Etobicoke

Great atmosphere and perfect service the minute you enter. Super clean. Also the pancakes are a must try because they are heavenly delicious.

This is a fabulous place. So sad it is closing. Service is always stellar, food is great.

Great vintage spot in Etobicoke with amazing food, big portions, and friendly staff. Always busy, but worth the wait! Vegetarian options: Yes Dietary restrictions: Yes, upon asking. Im not sure about vegan meat lovers. Parking: Busy parking lot Kid-friendliness: Yes Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

Food is ok place crowded and noisy. A basic meal, service fast, unlimited coffee. Bacon and eggs with toast and home fries are OK the bacon.was over cooked for mel

The omelet was overcooked

Outdoor patio available. Classic breakfast spot. Often a short line for weekend brunch. Many regulars

Great food, clean, nice atmosphere. Recommend to all looking for all that.

I love taking my family and friends to this restaurant and now you want to take it away please let our favourite restaurant stay The staff is friendly they are just like my own family i want them to stay and i know i speak for thousands of people for you to please stay family get together on Sunday is very important do not take that away please

Excellent food and very good pricing! We went Sunday October 13th after church and Don was our server and he went above and beyond! Will for sure be back. They are very quick with coffee refills even when it s busy which is AWESOME!

My new brunch spot

I found my breakfast wrap very bland.

Marjana was really good. Me and my husband liked the way she served us food today. My husband came all the way from Ohio and we appreciate all the good food and great service today

They have great food choices. I ve enjoyed their Dundas Breakfast with a side order of Belgian Waffles. Food was great and the waffles were phenomenal.

I had lunch with my mom here recently. Right off the bat, I noticed that they dont have a handicap button for any of the doors going in/out of the restaurant. My mom has some accessibility issues so it was not accommodating to her at all. Atmosphere of the restaurant was nice. In terms of the food, it was average. We were there around noon and I decided to have the steak and eggs from their All Day Breakfast part of the menu. I asked for the eggs to be poached and the server said that they could not offer me poached eggs because that was only done for the eggs benedict available in the morning. I thought that was a bit odd as Ive never had any other restaurant refuse to make poached eggs as part of a breakfast meal. I also asked if I could have some hollandaise sauce on the side. And, again, the server said that it wasnt possible. I kindly asked her to check with the chef in the back to see if they could make me a small dish of hollandaise sauce to have with my meal. She kind of rolled her eyes said okay. When she came back a few minutes later, she said that the chef said no. This sauce just requires egg yolk, butter, and lemon juice and I was happy to pay extra for it. So they werent willing to accommodate either of my requests. I found our server to be quite nonchalant, cold, and she seemed like she couldnt care less about being there. Service wasnt the worst. Our food came, we ate it, and it was fine for what it was. I dont think well be back at this restaurant anytime soon.

Great breakfast! Service is great!

I love this place Parking: Perfect Kid-friendliness: Wheelchair accessibility:

Nice little breakfast/brunch spot. Friendly, welcoming staff and decent food.

Super amazing fresh, fast, good service. A must try for breakfast, free coffee refills, excellent prices, highly recommend.

Great food.

I will admit I am one of the most pickiest eaters in the world ,not country ... the world . Hence why I never get excited to order out when my family would like out food But this place OH MY GOODNESS , I had their spinach and feta omelet and it was soooooo good ,good amount of spinach ,feta and not over cooked . Perfect

A very noisy place for a great lunch.

Local institution! Filling, yummy, classic brunch breakfast. Homefries and coffee on point! The servers are friendly ladies who know what theyre doing. Kid-friendly. Good Prices. Kid-friendliness: Wait staff are super friendly and accommodating to kids and high chairs available.

It was my first breakfast in a traditional Canadian establishment, like in the movies. Tables with sofas. Pancakes, scrambled eggs, fried ham and unlimited coffee poured for you... and atmosphere And to our great surprise, the waitress spoke to us in Ukrainian when she heard that we were talking to each other We will be back, more than once P.S. we were there on Sunday morning, we had to wait up to 30 minutes before we were offered a table.

Have been going there for years but after today I don t think I will be going back. Frozen fries, onion rings and hamburger patties. Ordered a burger on a lettuce bun, received a greasy patty on the plate with two thin pieces of lettuce on the plate and the fried onions were grease pit. I would post a picture of the greasy plate but there isn t an option to upload.

This is a place where friends I go for breakfast. I really like this place however this is suppose to be an affordable place and I was shocked to get my bill this time. I doubt I will be back. I will eat at home. Too bad

Love this place! Their breakfast always hits the spot no matter what you order. A lovely diner which was recently renovated and made very aesthetically pleasing. Service is always great, every waitress is kind, talkative and attentive. So sad that they will be closing down, Long live the legacy of the Dundas Street Grille. If you go, make sure you try one of their milkshakes! They re amazing!

Unfriendly service, basic breakfast food took 30 minutes to make, and they dont serve pancakes except for limited times on weekends.

My parents are in their late 80s and it was Mother s Day. the waitress was annoyed or seemed annoyed and rushed us with attitude to make up our minds on the menu. Unacceptable.

Great breakfast, fast and friendly service

I always enjoy eating brunch here. The place is always packed but their wait times are not that long . Staff is very friendly. They have quick service Food

Food was delicious, we didnt have to wait to be seated or for the food to arrive. Staff were courteous, it seems like it was renovated recently, well lit and comfortable seating. Will be back :)

Good, simple food. Nothing too fancy. Service was great. Would have loved to be seated prior to waiting till our entire party arrived, but its understandable.

Awesome diner. Classic meals, high quality.

Vegetarian options: Very few vegetarian options beyond a salad and fries or veggie burger Food

Great food, nice atmosphere. Staff was very polite and helpful, especially rishav who was always attentive and nice.

The best place ever

never come back, the waiters attitude was very bad, when asked about the dishes on the menu, he doesnt answer, I hadnt finished eating yet, he was forced to pay.

Old school dinner with great options and good quality food and service.

Great service and a great little spot for a meal. Thank you DSG. Food : 4/5

Too bad it is closing permanently in June. We need more places like this and less real estate over development.

good food good service.

Great place

We had breakfast here yesterday morning and whilst the food came out quickly and was tasty, the server was an absolute rude human being. She was a slim white woman in her 50s. I began with that I have never been here and asked her a few times where on the menu pancakes were, I am unsure if she is hard of hearing but was hesitant to show where and instead kept insisting on a breakfast for two when I made it clear that is not what we wanted. She never came by to check on how the food was and to ask her for something, she would not even fully come to a stop. She was just sarcastic throughout the interaction and fortunately for her I let it slide today but I will never return for this reason which is a shame. On the way out, a man smiled and thanked us for coming, maybe the owner? Someone needs to put that waitress in her place because her service was deplorable, unbecoming and quite frankly embarrassing. The best part is that she is either unaware or does not care.

A very nice to dine for breakfast, lunch or dinner. They have daily specials with reasonable prices for their menu.

A certain waitress who covers the tables along the window on the Dundas side.. literally tells you there is a line up and makes you feel you have to pay and leave . Wrong on all levels . This has happened on my last three visits .

great dining experience food was awsome

Food sucks Tasteless food Luke warm food coffee. Underwhelming in all respects. Food : 1/5

simply outstanding! the best DINER in TO AND MISSISSAUGA

Would highly recommend this restaurant but it is very busy on weekends. You will get seated once the whole party is present. Good variety of items on the menu, pleasant staff.

Best breakfast place with very polite staff. Portion size is very good. You have to try strawberry mill milkshake it s too good.

Had a fabulous birthday at the Dundas Street Grill. Really enjoyed the company and the owner was so gracious to comp our meal and the staff sang happy Birthday to me, which was a real joy. Thanks Trish

It was my first time and I loves it. My pancakes were amazing and the lady who served us was amazing, she made us feel like we were family.

This place looks nice and pretty modern. However, the service level is pretty meh and the food is ok, but a tad lacklustre. For a diner, they don t have a big breakfast option as other diners mostly do. The food is sort of hit or miss and inconsistent. I ve had brunch here a few times and it s always been a little disappointing (burnt pancakes, overcooked poached eggs, burnt English muffins, etc). The servers also don t check in to see if you re happy with your meal and don t really engage with you beyond taking your order and bringing it to you. Sadly, I don t think I d return.

Family burger night - amazing food, great milkshake, completely satisfactory house red. Our server, Natalie, dealt with all of my diet restriction questions with total grace. How nice!!

Great food, but the best thing about this place is the service. Casey (sp?) served us today and gave 10/10 service. We were a party of 9 and had the perfect brunch.

This place is a run-of-the-mill breakfast spot. The food is about as good as youd expect, prices are fairly reasonable, service was mostly fine, and ambiance was standard for a place like this. While it was nice that we were seated quickly despite a long line, and that we received our food quickly, we felt very rushed to get in and out of there, which wasnt great. Someone in my group was also met with some awkward hostility/defensiveness from a staff member when asking for a part of their order that was missed. If you need breakfast out in the area, this place is a viable option, but definitely not worth going out of your way for.

Great for breakfast or just diner food. I went for the breakfast and got the eggs benedict and it was quite tasty. My sister and cousin ordered the French toast as well as the Mediterranean ommlette and it was so good too. Parking: Gets busy!

Good food. Good service. Good value.

Good food. Fast service. Very busy atmosphere. Great if you want your meal efficiently to get in and get out. If you are looking to chat with the server and have a relaxing slow time, probably not the place for you.

First time here and loved it! Food was great, filling, and hot. Tons of fresh coffee and not once did we feel hurried. Very friendly staff and a nice, clean restaurant. A special shout out to our waiter from Montreal! (My apologies, as I didnt get your name like I usually do. :)) Definitely will come back! :)

Busy local diner. Efficient staff, quick service, and enjoyable experience. 4.5 rating

Hello foodies! What does the Sun and an egg in common? They are full of energy and help people start day! This restaurant has been around a while & is always dependable for good food at a fair cost whether dining with family or alone! There is not a lot of green space in the area but this is located just north of Kipling Subway Station at the intersection. Please drive safe whether youre taking the Subway or just a resident of the local area out for a coffee and a yummy breakfast. If you are relaxing on the weekend or not in a rush this is a great place they can get kind of busy so please be patient eating here.

Love this place. Parking: Park at the side or the back. Food : 5/5 |

Great local restaurant with all the menu items you would expect here. I have had the Burger; the Western; the eggs Benedict and the all day breakfast. All were delicious and served with a smile.

Absolutely love this place so sad that they sold it and its going to be torn down and they are going to be building condominiums.

Really good service the day we went. Food came out super quick and was very fresh. Service was exceptional as well. Would definitely recommend for a nice hang over breakfast.

Fastest breakfast ever! We ordered, were served, and ate within 25 mins! Food was good. Service was excellent. Nice atmosphere.

I ll say I was very disappointed ordered chopped beef but they just gave me a beef patty from a burger. The home style fries were a lil mushy wish it was a lil crisper

A group of ladies came close to Christmas very disappointed not the same we wont be back

Great food, friendly staff that goes above and beyond! First time here, will definitely come back!

Good place for a large group during the holidays. Wine selection is very limited but they allow BYOB for $20 per bottle

Greeted by a friendly hostess. Served by a friendly server. This place is very nice. Feels like a home

Good taste of food and the quality is perfect and the service is excellent worth the price on the menu definitely recommend,good job keep up. I recommend their French onion soup and coffee Food

Decent family friendly diner in Etobicoke. Friendly staff providing good service.

Our Sundays always starts from breakfast outside and today was the best place to start Sunday. Comparing all visited places before: food is fresh, not fat and quick service

Very good food!

Very popular because its good enough food at very good price. Clean. Service was very slow. Food was pretty good. Not amazing. If you want something decent and traditional at a very good price, this is the place.

Best restaurant I ever visited.

Feels the same as it did 15 yrs ago. For better or for worse. Prices were very reasonable. Pancakes surprised me, in a good way. Fluffy and light. Sausages were dry and bacon borderline too crispy.

Best breakfast in Town,

Nice atmosphere and great food.

It s a great place to grab breakfast if your looking to meet with friends or family to eat and socialize. The staff is very friendly, the dining area is clean (but simple), the service is pretty fast, and the food is good. I d definitely go back. Kid-friendliness: Our waiter was very kind to the kids - although they didn t have crayons and colouring papers, they have a great kid s breakfast menu and even gave the kids some lollipops afterwards. The only thing I m not sure about is whether they have booster seats or high chairs.

First time here, we came for breakfast, first and foremost, our server Don is absolutely amazing! He s efficient, and makes the job look effortless. The portion served here are amazing! Will definitely be back again. Very happy with the service

Never disappoints !

2 of us had the open-face steak sandwich on garlic toast & it was tasty. 3rd person had a tuna wrap & enjoyed it.

Great spot for brunch! Was super packed but service was still great! Will be back

This is a really busy place on a Saturday morning. Took my aunt for breakfast. Food was fantastic. The service was fast as well. Prices were very reasonable!

Our server Thomas was great. Kept coming around with coffee whenever he noticed it love. Great sense of humor and very personable.

We regularly go to this restaurant, we love it because of the great food and the prices but today I had a terrible experience with the service. We went around 11:20 am (it was full), we told the hostess we were initially 3 adults and 1 child but our plans changed and 2 friends and their child decided to join us while we were waiting I told the lady we were now 5 adults and two kids but our friends would arrive in 15 minutes. There was a free table but she did not want to let us sit there because our friends werent there so we were hungry and decided not to wait for our friends since she did not provide any solution... Finally she gave us a table for four and our friends arrived, of course we wanted to sit together, this lady was like my kindergarten teacher, she scolded me and told me that this is my last time I do this... You dont say that to a customer, you should be more open and provide solutions, I am so disappointed of the bad customer service today that I dont recommend it any more...

Service was a 5 star wonderful service but the food was bad! We got pancakes for our 4Y old, It was basically flour and water, too thick and no flavour at all! I got the build your own omelette, added tomato and spinach, the tomatoes were not even cooked.The potatoes that came with the omelette were not good at all! It tasted horrible, I m vegetarian so it seems the potatoes were baked or cooked in the same pan of the bacons or meat! These little things do make a difference in a restaurant.

Amazing service and fresh food.

Great food and great service.

Not friendly to those with food intolerances. No gluten or dairy free options.

An Etobicoke staple. The food is quick and tasty, the servers are pleasant, the prices are fair and the location is ideal. Dundas Street Grille is an absolute classic

Neighbourhood gem. Great service and good food.

Loved their food . It s a must try if you are a roast turkey fan . Soft and not bland at all the best turkey I had in a while .. must try the restra if you around the area . The restra has been there for a while and staff is also very friendly .

I go here regularly for breakfast, fast and efficient service at a really cheap price. everything is delicious and the staff are super friendly and caring. Parking: about a 20 car parking lot. busy but always people coming and going. Wheelchair accessibility: no stairs

Very friendly staff!

Me and my co-workers came here for lunch today. I made a reservation the day before for a group of 11. We ended up having 2 more join us and they were able to accommodate us easily. Our server, Tommy, was friendly, very fast and efficient. Everyone got what they ordered and the food was great. Will definitely be back with the team.

Always reliably great food and service. If you want a great classic diner experience, this is it.

The food was okay, we had salmon benedict. We liked the atmosphere and people were very nice here.

Family Breakfast always great at this place , Sundays You might wait in line and parking is ok although We always leave satisfied for the $ and the taste. On pictures U see brekfast for 4 and we ve split that for 5 / with 8 pancakes and 2 refillable coffees it s a great choice for the budget. Bill ~57$ plus tip our waitress was great so that s came up to 70$/5=14$ each which is a steal ! :)

A nice diner experience. Fairly large restaurant that always has tables available. Staff are always friendly, and on top of coffee refills. For quality has always been consistent. Portion of food is a fair amount, and quality is always fresh and delicious. Restaurant and washrooms are always clean. Will always go back.

I have eaten here twice now (sorry no pictures). I have had the fish and chips which was nicely cooked, not too greasy and a nice portion. Also a good fish to batter ratio. I recently had the club sandwich, not a blowout but it was a good sandwich. I will also say their carrot cake is excellent. Service has been friendly and quick.

I like the servers mannerism

Excellent restaurant, variety of dishes served perfect. Close to Kipling Station. Friendly and comfortable atmosphere. With outstanding serves. family and friend gathering.

Food was good, but overpriced for the portions. Service was ok, not very attentive or social for the number of customers in the place at the time.

It s always a vibe at DSG. Energetic and lively and weekend always have a quick lineup. Food is good (can t go wrong with all day breakfast for about $13). The staff is awesome. Eggs Benedict are great (in this case I got the DSG Breakfast). I do find the portion size has gotten smaller though (especially the potatoes [as you can see in the photo] compared to places like Perkins, Mars, other spots).

Good food

One of my favorite go to neighborhood restaurants. Great service and food is tasty. Kids loved the breakfast.

Its not bad. Great service waitress was very nice. Restaurant clean and looks amazing. Hate to say it but home fries lack luster little mushy. Hollandaise sauce was very runny and light in color probably bulk bought or powdered. I dont think they dried my poached eggs before putting on English muffins. English muffins were soaking wet. For the price I would expect a little more care.

Good place for breakfast and brunch.

Food was very good. Got the Dundas breakfast. Service was great and very attentive. Eggs were cooked perfectly for the request.

Amazing as always. Service and food is always a 10/10 and affordable!!

This is an excellent restaurant with great service. The food was reasonably priced and good size portions. I highly recommend the club sandwich with a poutine. Ill definitely be back.

Its the go to Spot for breakfast in this area. Variety in options and great portions

Lovely local restaurant, with a very broad menu. The portions are just right, and I have never been disappointed with anything I have had. Nice, bright, airy atmosphere. Always very clean and the staff is always friendly. Kid-friendliness: They have a pretty good kids menu.

Good coffee, good service, good food, and good prices. Personally I preferred the old diner atmosphere but the renovations did make it a lot more modern.

Went for breakfast for my husbands birthday. Generous portions and excellent service from Marjana. They even surprised him with a complementary slice of cake while singing happy birthday!

This place is absolutely amazing super friendly staff always smiling:) Great food highly recommended. Kid-friendliness: They love families and treat everyone with so much love

Great place for brunch, lunch or early dinner. Food is top notch, cook to your needs, service is excellent. the only thing is the price of their success, which is you may have to wait in a line, but most do, because of the quality of this place.

I had a really great brunch with pancakes, sausages and eggs. The service was top notch.

Had a girls lunch. Service and food was good. I had a salad, it was delicious. Pretty basic restaurant, nothing fancy at all, but nice.

Our local brunch place is closed, so we were looking for a new place to have brunch. Suggestion from a friend was to try Dundas Street Grill in Mississauga. Kaitlin our server was so busy and still got our order and food on time. I would definitely recommend this for as long as it s around. Cheers, Mario

1st Time ... 1st Rate

An Etobicoke institution - warm family atmosphere, consistent quality and the homefries are fantastic. Have been going here ever since it opened 30+ years ago.

This is a lively place across from TTC Kipling subway station. If you want a quiet place to talk, this isnt the right place to go! They also have sport games on so you have a crowd listening to that. Its very noisy due to poor acoustics in the restaurant noise bouncing and echoing. Everyone needs to almost shout to talk. Other than that, the food is barely average. We ate breakfast, and our toast came to us cold. Service is nothing special, quite inattentive. The server never came to our table to check in on us. We had to ask to have the toast exchanged. Portion sizes are not in line with the price. It could be better. In our opinion, there are far more better options for dining nearby and with better parking.

Ate here for breakfast on a Saturday morning. The restaurant was quite busy, but we were seated right away. Enjoyed breakfast for two (eggs, meat, pancakes, and potatoes). Everything tasted great! Very generous portion. Even the latte was great! Only negative is the restaurant is quite loud, so I wouldn t recommend dining here if you re looking for something quiet/intimate. We d happily visit again.

A go to breakfast place. Excellent long time staff Great food and good portions. Always a pleasure to visit or take out. Food

Why are all these places disappearing?

Exceptional customer service. Our breakfast was served hot, fresh ingredients, quality, clean environment, and friendly and professional service. Kind thanks.

love george and the crew

Love breakfast

Very cute spot. Very clean. Food was delicious!!

Just an awsome place to eat. I have been coming to this place for years and the food is always just right. They have a little bit of everything, but the breakfast is the best.

Well established diner with comfy dinner dishes. Chopped beef and cheesecake is sublime. Staff are friendly and treat you like family. Whats not to like?

Updated rating Sep 2023 to 3* - never got a refill on my coffee and if you ask for a second tea envelope they will double charge. Original review: 4* - I got the Steak and eggs and it was good. Coffee was good and always warm because of refills, which I like. My wife and daughter got the chopped beef with eggs, the name was misleading as it was ground beef patty, not good.

Always one of my favorite breakfast spots while in the area, great food and always friendly staff

The food is amazing and the staff is truly amazing.

Great for an inexpensive good meal.

Always a pleasure. Family loves it. Food is always good and consistent. Friendly staff.

Great place for breakfast-brunch! Lana is a very attentive server and still remembered my dinner mate despite a long gap in our visits. Food is plentiful and delicious!

A family style restaurant that has been a solid and reliable choice in the area for many years. Have always been pleased with the food and service.

Very kind and welcoming staff Good breakfast place to eat Quite busy on the weekends Food : 5/5

Still amazing as ever! Delicious awesome food. Wicked service. Always with a smile.

Food and service is always good at a reasonable price

I m a university student so the food hit different. 5/5 Fast service, great food, and friendly staff!

Still great service

This has been our go-to breakfast place for years. I take the bus all the way from Square One just to eat here. Servers are genuinely happy and the bacon is the best!

A true Etobicoke Diner experience! Seated to a table within minutes on SATURDAY MIDMORNING Waiter was prompt and friendly. Unique dish presentations are just one of so many delightful enjoyments at this All Day all kind of dine! Eat what you please as I enjoyed breakfast bacon cooked to perfection with eggs and THE BEST homefries and my date had French soup and an CLUB sandwich and a mouthwatering CHOCOLATE SHAKE

Good food Good service you can depend on the quality here.

Returning to this place Ive been to twice before, I was highly disappointed when the staff seated a large group of people that arrived after us before us and continued to let us wait until a smaller table was available which required one person to get just the every edge of the table 3 to one side. So not only did we have to wait longer for a worse table to fit our group, the food would have taken even longer to come out for our table as the other large group that was seated 15 min before we got ours still didnt get their food order.

I go here often. Foid and staff are always great. The french onoin soup id amazing.
