123 Rexdale Blvd, Etobicoke, ON M9W 1P1, Canada
Family run diner serving the Kipling and Rexdale area since 1985. We serve all day breakfast, fish and chips, homemade burgers and much more.
Wally’s is the perfect spot for breakfast. Food is consistently great with many different options. The staff is very attentive and kind. Jack always make sure to stop by the table and say hi, he is so welcoming and friendly. He is one of the reasons my friends and I love coming back to Wally’s!
Old school type of diner. Breakfast is super affordable compared to other places now a days. Love the quality. Staff can tend to take a big long, but they're super nice and friendly. This is where family traditions are made..
I usually get breakfast here sometimes and I quite like it which is why I'm not giving 1 star. Tonight I ordered through uber the fish and chips. I paid $30 for it and I've never wanted my money back so badly. After spending that much the fish was so thin and there was more batter than fish in both filets. Fries were good. But with the prices of food these days eating out needs to be worth it. I spent over $40 tonight with Uber fees and tip and I've honestly pissed. Also both filets could of made up 1 proper filet. That being said, they do have great breakfast and it tasted as fish and chips should. I just was not happy with the fish as the portion was basically a slap in the face. Next time the kitchen sees such small portions they should add another piece for the portion size to be worth the customer's money. Again since covid and the war food prices have become ridiculous and eating out is a luxury.
Great good , quick and awesome service. First time here on our way to the airport , will be back next time ! Thankyou Najia for the great service this morning ! 10/10 , would recommend !
I have been to this place multiple times, and I have only gotten around now to leave a formal review. This place is always a go to cheap breakfast place that you can rely on the food being great hot and fast. I’ve gone there when it’s busy and when it’s quiet, and the food is always so good and so fast. The staff is very helpful and kind. Definitely try the eggs Benedict.
They are charging $13 for French toast and their using wonder bread from the grocery store and dipping it in egg wash. They don’t even give maple syrup but rather ‘syrup’. You can literally make a better one at home. Advice to management: make a better more rich French toast or lower the price because $13 is crazy for homemade basic French toast!
A friend recommended this place for diner style fare and they do it very well. If you’re looking for breakfast this is a great choice. I always leave satisfied and always go back.
What a terrific place for breakfast! We happened to be in the area and decided to try it out. It was an amazing meal. The service was great and best of all, the place was clean! Try their peameal for breakfast. They even use real potatoes for their homefries and not those frozen, then deep fried potatoes. Highly recommended! We will be back!
Love this place. Always go for breakfast when im in town. Great value, no cheaping out here...
i really love this place the fires and everything are amazing service was 10/10 employees were so nice and helpful and supper fast we had to wait 10 minutes for our food to arrive at our table and the employe gina was super nice and a great personality to everyone in the restaurant amazing place check it out!
Great tasting food made fresh, big portions, reasonably priced, clean and newly renovated.
Its great to see Wallys open again. Decided to dine out this evening. Wallys was satisfying and pleasing - food and service. Had the Chicken Souvlaki Dinner and coffee. Generous portion of palate pleasing food.
Good service with no pressure to leave. Breakfast is very consistent and the clientele can be interesting
Great breakfast. Open early.
Great diner for an early breakfast. Great food, great service, great atmosphere Kid-friendliness: Lots of booths, good music but not too loud Food : 5/5 |
Great food at a reasonable price. Add to that a comfortable atmosphere to eat it in and it is a win, win.
Great restaurant. Our waitress is friendly and very funny. I enjoy coming here. The omelets are huge!
The food was very delicious. Love the homemade potatoes
We like it there
Great food and atmosphere. Popular place as well.

Great breakfast. Great service. Fair prices
Love the food and service
These people make you feel welcome really enjoy going there
The staff is fabulous!!
The breakfast was cold and very greasy. Never going back.
Wonderful place Parking: On the property, multiple spaces Kid-friendliness: Has a kids menu
Used to visit Wallys from time to time. The food is well prepared and the prices are fair. Service has always been good in the past. On my last visit, however, I was totally ignored. The sign said, Please seat yourself, so I did. Nobody took my order, never got a menu. Watched with amusement as people who arrived after me got served. Left after about fifteen minutes.
Best diner around! Staff is super friendly, food is truly home made, always large portions, and daily specials are always good. Parking: Lots of parking Wheelchair accessibility: A little tight and no automatic doors. Not the easiest to get into. Bathrooms are essentially inaccessible. That said I have gotten in and out without steps or grade issues.
We came for breakfast. The service was amazing. Staff were friendly. Also, the food was great and fair pricing. Definitely 5 stars!
Great breakfast spot. The Eggs Benny was great!
Good diner food!
Great food, friendly staff and newly renovated.
Good meal. Fair prices. Good service.
I came today with a very positive attitude and the monkey-haired waitress treated me so badly just for ordering 3 hard-boiled eggs!! Because they dont make them there and Im a liar. Since I came less than five days ago and they gave me eggs with my salad, I am super sad and disappointed how someone treats me like this when I come to shop and spend my money here. It frustrates me to know that they use untrained and very offensive staff in this place.
GREAT FOOD, AND LOVING PEOPLE
Food was great and the waitress was awesome.
Great all Day breakfast Food
Havent been here in a awhile and was happy to see it was renovated. Service was great and the breakfast food was very good. Great breakfast place if youre in the Rexdale area
Not as good as before the fire. Cant explain it but the quality just isnt the same to me. Still a decent price for a solid meal.
Fabulous customer service and delicious home food Food : 5/5
Great food, great service, friendly staff, fresh coffee and plastic straws. What more could you ask for? We enjoyed the story Jack told us about his father. You need to eat here!!!
Loved it. Nice food, good portions lovely waitress. She was brilliant, explained everything very polite.
Food was amazing.. large portions.. best burger I have ever had. Go there!
Yes. Eat here.
This place is amazing I will be there again soon
Excellent family breakfast!!
Delicious food, served hot and fast. Lovely service, our waitress was the sweetest Kid-friendliness: Great portions, Friendly wait staff
Perfect little dinner. Love the eggs benedict
Dinner was amazing. Everyone had what they wanted. I had the burger with peameal bacon. When I bit into it, it was exactly what I wanted . It wasnt too busy for a Sunday evening. We come to the restaurant whenever we are in town. Never disappointed. Great food and friendly service. Always leaving happy and full
Very nice waitress and nice renovated restaurant. Was very surprised to learn it was as old as they said. Will likely return.
Great breakfast. Go, you wont be disappointed
First time at this restaurant and I will definitely be back. Both service and food were very good
Great food!
Busy place but I understand why. Great breakfast options and friendly faces. My go to breakfast spot
Back in the days the food was very good and the service was top-notch After they renovated everything has change the long waits
Fresh, yummy and I will return
This place is the best restaurant Ive been to in a long time you have to go to experience it their food is supreme I wish this was a chain love this place
The food was horrible, I order a pasta with meat and sauce, and my sister got it just with sauce there was no flavour at all we need to add salt to it bc even that was missing, it tasted like the sauce was just pour out of the can and warmed up to be mixed with the pasta.
Below I wrote a short review of Wallys after the Reno was done in early Spring. Regular clients will remember that there was a significant fire just last year. Im disappointed this morning. It got busy at the beginning and it took 20 minutes to order. The cup was dirty and the tea was not the one ordered. When the chopped steak & eggs arrived, again my order did not include the tomatoes as expected. The home fries were dry and cold, maybe sitting in stasis for too long on the grill. Eating any cold breakfast is a non-starter for me; its my comfort food for that day. I have been coming to Wallys since 1992 and have observed highs and lows - this was a low today. Consistent food and pricing, friendly wait staff, and usually busy. Pricing is not balanced on some items and there are items on the menu that have confusing descriptions.
A wonderful diner that you need to visit. Amazing food and service . Not to mention the incredible bottomless cups of coffee. Food
Can t say enough good things about the food and service at Wally s! We ordered catering for an event and were met with superb hospitality and accommodation. All of our guests were asking where the food was from. Thank you Jack for the 5-star service, you made a big difference in our day!
Me and my family love coming for the funny fat guy who s the manager! He s HILARIOUS and so funny and always has the best jokes. He is the main reason we come here. The food is good too, but I love that funny fat guy manager, he s the best whenever he s here.
Great Halibut fish and chips. Portion size was great. I personally did not like the coleslaw. I think it has horseradish which tastes bad to me. Service was friendly and it was clean inside
My favorite place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Great service
First time back since the reopening. Great new friendly atmosphere. Bright and welcoming. Pleasant and efficient staff, similar quality menu with equally affordable pricing. Still family friendly. Welcome back... I know I will be.
Havent been here in a while but our food came fast and hot, the waitress was super friendly and attentive great place to eat
Friendly...clean ..food is excellent....coffee mmmmm good
My new favourite breakfast place. I have a fitness goal to bulk up, so I come here for the steak & eggs.
Its not hard to mess up breakfast but wallys proved that statement wrong. Hands down the worst eggs Benny I have ever had . Asked for crispy bacon and they might as well have brought me the pig still alive. Worst tasting hollandaise sauce and raw eggs. The homestyle potatoes are the worst in all of the city. Save your self the money and do not go here its absolutely disgusting.
My new favorite place to get food. The food was excellent, along with the amazing service and attentiveness to detail. Was there on an invite with a group of people and I cannot wait for my next visit for brunch. Jeff is also very kind and his staff is amazing. You will not regret eating here.
Great place highly recommended
Overall this is a great place! We had very basic breakfast plates and found the eggs to be slightly more cooked than we would have liked to see (mine was fine) and the pricing is slightly higher than you may expect at a breakfast place but that s negligible compared to the overall experience. You ll feel at home with good food and good people all around! Service is quick, friendly and attentive. Recommended! Parking: There s only one way in and out, easier to get in turning right then left considering how busy rexdale can be.
Highly recommend, they give generous amounts for the price and everything tasted great. Its very clean and nice staff.
We sat outside, had a brunch. Portions are good, taste is great. Service was fast and friendly.
We came Friday and are now back Monday. I had steak and eggs - it was cooked perfectly medium rare and tasted amazing. I opted for tomato instead of hash browns to make my mean keto-friendly. Service was friendly and the owner even came to check on our meal. Dietary restrictions: Keto friendly options.
Just had the daily special, and it was fantastic! Perfectly cooked, served, and with large portions!! A definite must-try, while visiting, or living in North Etobicoke!!!! Edited, as, even though the food is good, the staff needs to learn how to treat customers better.
Food had very poor presentation. Looked like it was just thrown on the plate.
Small family run place. We had brunch with the classic Canadian breakfast. Everything was delicious, with the real taste of home-cooked food. Potatoes cooked to perfection, crispy bacon, tasty and perfectly cooked sausages, perfect eggs and super fluffy pancakes. Like most places you can ask for American coffee more than once and they leave milk, sugar and maple syrup at the table. Everything top, highly recommended!!!
This was a really nice little spot. My veggie omelette had lots of veggies in it.
This place is so nice staff are great very clean eating here for the first time we had breakfast it was so good i would highly recommend this place momma good
Great breakfast spot! Freshly squeezed orange juice was awesome. Our server, Tracey, was remarkable, and the food was exactly what our group was looking for. Would definitely go back
Wonderful place! Really Enjoy the food, service menu!
They have the best halibut fish and chips.
Just ordered eggs bacon and toast and 3 times in a row no toast. Dont know thats going on but when they reopened its not even close to the same as it was before. My disappointment is large and I will not go back. People just do the job u are paid to do and do it right 3 times is just bad service and lazy people not paying attention.
Great place with good prices and large menu.
Located near Grandstand Casino (formerly Woodbine) off of Rexdale Blvd & Kipling, this unassuming, modern-looking diner has a large variety of breakfast and lunch options. If youre looking for classic breakfasts including eggs/omelettes, pancakes, french toast, bacon/sausage, or lunch options of deli sandwiches, burgers, or souvlaki, this grill has it all! Their prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality of food and portions. All of the waitstaff are very friendly as well. You can tell by the steady stream of people coming in and out (even mid-week), that this is a neighbourhood favourite. Food was served hot, and my only regret was not taking photos of the Super French Toast combo! We did not leave hungry!
What a nice restaurant. Jack was very quick w/getting me my table. Although it was a wait it was worth it. Great food & such nice staff. Loved it here.
Update: third visit Quiet cozy clean chic place going early on a weekday morning. Chances are you can make it there before work. Wheelchair accessible ramp available if parking deeper in the parking lot near the library. Generous and delicious servings, though I think fries are unnecessary for breakfast. Attentive and friendly service while dining. Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible ramp available if parking deeper in the parking lot near the library.
To my surprise, very clean and friendly service, I had a nice omelette, good place to stop and check out, fairly priced
Good portions for great value. Only issue was chopped steak is actually not choped steak but a hamburger patty stretched out
This place is now my favourite spot for breakfast. Always friendly, the $$ buck price is also worth every dollar.
Best Breakfast spot in the neighborhood..
Prices are the best around. Food is always great. They have a great variety. Fish n chips, burgers, breakfast, pastas etc.... staff are super friendly. One of the best places to go. Especially there prices.
Fantastic
Always a great meal..
Been going to Wallys since back in the day when it was nothing but a shack across the street (30+ years). My go to breakfast place and the waitstaff are friendly and down to earth. 5***** Parking: 100+ Kid-friendliness: Family friendly restaurant
Amazing food and service, quality is excellent. Highly recommend! Greek salad and poutine is fantastic just like everything on the menu!
Took my dad here for his 60th birthday. He really liked his meat pasta with meat balls. I am a vegetarian and ordered their eggs benedict with salmon (a big compromise for me) and was horrified to discover they gave me pork instead of salmon. At first I thought they cooked the salmon well, then realized the texture wasn t right and it tasted strange. Got a discount. But be careful. I am also kosher, and vegetarian who only eats fish on the rare occasion. Was absolutely horrified by the pork. But apart from that, service was fast. My father who isn t kosher informed me it was indeed their pemeal bacon which I had never encountered before. Wondered why it looked leathery and strange. Was absolutely disgusted. Wheelchair accessibility: All on one level with no steps.
Good food, fast service
A go-to place for casual dining in a friendly atmosphere.
My friend and I had a banquet burger and a hot turkey sandwich with Coke Zeroes for lunch and the food and service were excellent. The waitress was friendly, amusing, kind and even funny. The overall feel was it a genuinely nice place....
Gina is amazing server. She helped and very knowledgeable of the menu. Great personality and excellent professional service.
Good food Friendly service good atmosphere great breakfast thank you
When will Wallys grill open ?
Im a truck driver have been going to walleys for years now. I know where all the good restaurants in southern Ontario are this place has the best food
Food great
When will you re-open @wallys grill? Have renovations started?
I have been coming here for many years and have enjoyed the food and service. They recently had a fire and have been closed for quite a long time now. Are there any plans on reopening? The longer they stay closed, the longer it will take them to regain their customers.
Miss this place with all my heart
My fav place
The food is awesome, the service is excellent. I am never disappointed
Wally s is open again! Delish food and comfy environment! Glad to be able to have breakfast again at my fave spot
Update 23/9/2023. Yes they are back! Food and service is just as excellent as before! Just a great restaurant serving traditional breakfast lunch dinner meals thats getting hard to find. Been coming here since 80s when it was first across the street where theres a car wash place now. This restaurant has never missed a beat since those times. Thanks!
One of, if not the best breakfast places in all of the GTA. The service is amazing, the food was incredible and they really made us feel like we were at home which is really nice. It gets really busy but the wait is worth it.
We thought we would try Wallys because we heard about it from a waitress in an oakville restaurant. It had just reopened. We walked in to a very friendly man, who welcomed and seated us. Then we waited and waited, finally a waitress came, we exchanged pleasantries and we ordered coffee. We sat while she passed us over and over with our menus closed, the usual sign that you re ready to order. This went on for 25 minutes and when she headed to the opposite side of the restaurant, we decided to pay for our coffee and leave. We didn t taste the food so we haven t rated it.
They cant make a hot breakfast something on your plate will be cold if you ask to have it heated they will take your plate heat that and let. Everything else get cold twice so far since theyve opened cold breakfast. Quality food c***** chef. Food
Loved my breakfast!
Newly renovated and looks so good. Food as always was great.
This place is completely trash. I lost my appetite immediately. Gross food, no reason to even GO here. Spend your money somewhere else people! Yuck!
Homestyle restaurant where the breakfasts were fabulous and very reasonably priced. Great big portions and such friendly staff. Clean and nicely renovated. Felt so homey
I came here the other day and the service was slow for being dead in the restaurant. I was asked what I wanted to drink without seeing a menu first and then it look the lady 15 minutes to bring my water and a menu. Food came quick but I got a steak that was literally just a slab of meat with no seasoning. I don t usually leave reviews but this was not worth the 30$ I spent. My second server was sweet though, she felt bad but it wasn t her fault. For being so slow you d think they would be ontop of everything.
I came here yesterday, the service was so slow and it wasnt that busy. It took over 20 minutes to take our order.And the food was okay
Was waiting for you guys to reopen! So glad you did! I love the food here and the service is excellent! I go here at least once a week for my weekly treat
So happy you reopened. Best food, place looks so good!!! Service was fast!!
Food was spoiled smelled bad
Had breakfast. The home fries are half raw soggy potatoes and they wont cook them for you. Dont recommend.
Great food and great service! My kid and I went in for breakfast and both ordered the large French toast. We got our order in less than 5 minutes, and my kid - usually a slow eater - finished his food before me! It was that good! I highly recommend Wally s.
Great portions. Eggs were done to expectations. Apparently it is the same owners. They were closed for 9 months because of a fire in Dec 2022. Newly renovated with better appointed seating. Coffee was good. Service was great. My husband was able to switch up to bacon in a western instead of ham. Nc. Good menu selection . Very busy.
Good cheap food and great service! Would definitely go back!
I have gone there many times with friends and family but was never happy with the taste of their breakfast home fries. they tasted like rotten but I know vinegar gives it that taste. After their renovation I went back cause it s close to me, to my amazement the breakfast and home fries were DELICIOUS. I loved it. I hove they don t go back to the vinegar taste. A 5 star taste now!!
I highly recommend. Try Eggs Benedict with a slight custom request three perfectly poached eggs over peameal bacon, generously topped with rich Hollandaise Sauce, all nestled on a warm English Muffin. The twist of replacing home fries with creamy mashed potatoes, lusciously adorned with butter and mushrooms, adds an exquisite touch. Bon appétit savor the delightful flavors and enjoy your meal!
First time in month we went back but the service from a blonde lady was not great, she was clearly having a bad day. For food, potatoes were definitely not fresh, tasted bad and so did their orange juice.
Exceptionally friendly staff and really good food. The hours are good too - opens early for breakfast and closes late. Will definitely return again.
The atmosphere was great and the service was outstanding, food was fantastic, I felt like I was on vacation. Thumbs up for Jack and his staff.
it was not very pleasant. the service was poor. food was less than ok . dont think would go back
Amazing Mom & Pop Diner. Great family feeling Food is great. Also bang for your buck. Food : 5/5
First time trying their beak fast was not pleasant at all upon presentation and looks horrible also the taste horrible.
Crazy awesome meatloaf and excellent service by our new friend Tracey. Old fashioned excellent diner type place...
Great place for a reasonably priced all day breakfast. Nice atmosphere.
Ive been going here for years, prices are really good and food is always fresh. And the service is awesome. Since the new renovation its really homie and cozy.
Service was good enough, not a fancy place had breakfast, I will return
Wallys grill is a great place to go like a mom and Pop shop. Good food great service waitresses are very friendly. They have recently gone through a major renovation because they had a fire. They went above and beyond with the renovation looks beautiful and very comfortable my husband and I have gone there too many times. LOL we have pretty much tried everything on the menu minus the liver and everything was absolutely delicious. We go there for breakfast. Lunch and dinner I strongly recommend going.
Its a busy little grill. Food is always good. However, our server was a little slow and would forget requests.
For a first time visitor, it was a really nice experience. We went on a Wednesday night and it was about 80% full, not rowdy. The wait staff was friendly and patient while we took our time ordering. Nice sense of humour too! The grilled salmon is an amazing deal for the portion and amount of food. Salmon had a nice crust and the brioche dinner roll was yummy. And it came with a big bowl of turkey noodle soup which had lots of turkey and noodles.
Greasy spoon. Friendly service. Bustling neighborhood spot.
Great food, reasonable price.
Excellent food at a GOOD price! They did not cheap out on anything, especially the bacon!
Gina is an amazing waiter! She checked on us often and made recommendations on the food we should order.
Good size portions for the price. I had eggs Benedict. The restaurant was a little difficult to find. Its back in a separate building from the Shoppers.
Very big yummy omelet breakfast. Their chicken souvlaki and salad are good although didnt really notice the taziki. Fries are fresh with a crunch. My little guy loves their burger.
First time, I had the banquet burger and fries and hubby had the chicken souvlaki dinner. The quantity and quality were perfect. Will come back to try the breakfast. Our server, Gina, was very attentive to our needs.
A great old fashioned restaurant with booths and large portions of delicious food. Great value.
1. Food: The soup of the day was great. Very well flavoured. The milkshakes were also a treat. Main dishes had some opportunities. For me, it was mainly the fries the issue. They were very soggy with no seasoning. I only ate a few and left the rest on the plate. 2. Service: No issues with the service. Friendly and fast
I love Wally s Grill! The staff are amazing! I love talking to Tracy, Patricia and Gina. Everyone else is great. The food is truly delicious and the service is quick. It has also been renovated and so looks so clean and fresh. Love Wally s!
The waitress was awesome The food came quick and was great Food
amazing food and excellent customer service
So had to up my review to 5 star. It was slammed for lunch and still service was polite and quick!! Got me some chicken and ribs and I dont know why but this meal hit home and was so hardy. Gave me a hungry man vibe if hungry man diners were actually good. Ribs had good sauce but my peas and mash were the closers!!! Had a very home cooked meal vibe. Earned that last star for sure
