A quaint place once you find it, The atmosphere in the restaurant is peaceful and there is no loud music playing so you can have a conversation and hear each other. the food is delicious and priced right too. If you go there long enough you will get to know the staff and they will get to know you too.

A great breakfast spot! Spots promptly wiped down during the breakfast rush so you can be seated, drinks brought to you right away - coffee is bottomless; there isn’t a time where my cup was empty before they were around topping it up. Food is always served hot and never tastes like it’s been sitting or cooked in bad oil. The consistency in the good food and the amazingly friendly service will keep me coming back. If you haven’t checked them out you should!

This was our first time here, and the customer service we got was absolutely awesome, and the food was so fresh. Homemade burgers were to die for. I highly recommend coming here to eat either breakfast or lunch. Well worth the price plus the fries we're absolutely perfect. I will definitely be coming back here to eat. I would give 10 stars if I could, except it only allows 5 stars.

First time coming here since it was Al & Jan's. The food was the same good quality, the service was friendly & quick. There are lots of older folks there, so you know it's a good one.

Came to try out the breakfast as it was recommended by a friend. Not going back. Tables were dirty, the counter top was covered in dirty dishes should have been the first red flag. We waited 30 minuets for food than when it arrived our home fries were over salted and half cold. We had to ask for water due to no one checking in on us until we were finished our food. We saw serval tables have to ask for tables to be cleaned before they sat.

We were hungry after checking out of Casino Rama resort and found this diner. Fresh coffee hit the spot. Cheese omelette was good, the home fries were the best and the buttered rye toast topped everything off. Service was professional and fast.

Came in with a friend for lunch and was disappointed with the menu. I think if we had been there for breakfast we would have enjoyed it more. Breakfast menu looked good. I decided on the wings, ordered Cajun to be told later they didn’t have it so I went with franks. The wings were very good. Large juicy.

My fiance and I decided to try this restaurant as he had never been even when it was under other names. What an amazing experience. We were greeted promptly & shown to our seats quite quickly for busy breakfast hour. Service was excellent as we were checked on frequently & asked if we needed any water or coffeewhile waiting for our food. Menu was awesome with great prices. We both ate big meals for under $35 and left feeling very satisfied. I got the timmys diner breakfast 3 eggs with sausage, all came out hot and fresh. tasted very homemade. the eggs were amazing as im usually pretty picky with my eggs. Homefries were to die for. My fiance got the steak & eggs, he loved it and could barely finish it which rarely happens. Highly Recommend stopping in here for a wholesome affordable home-cooked tasting breakfast! Thankyou so much Timmys Diner!

This place is a gem! I d gladly eat here again anytime! The food was as I expected for a breakfast diner, maybe even better considering how inexpensive everything on the menu was! Definitely the best bang for your buck that I ve had for a while. The people really made the difference. Everyone from the servers to the cook were kind, and went out of their way to check on us. Everyone was genuinely smiling and wanted us to be comfortable. Even the other patrons friendly. All around a pleasant, calm atmosphere. Thank you Timmy s Dinner! You are our new favourite stop in Orillia! Kid-friendliness: Great food choices for picky eaters, patch of grass they can run and get their giggles out, comfortable bench booth seating.

I cant believe there are so many positive reviews... and our experience certainly doesnt match that. We came here originally because we enjoyed the diner that was here previously. I was surprised to see yet more turnover at this location, but decided to give it a try because we had a friend from out of town with us. First, I always like it when businesses are honest about their pricing upfront and unfortunately, this restaurant wasnt. I ordered the kids pancakes ($7) and the server left and came back, asking if we wanted chocolate or blueberry. We picked chocolate, and so I was surprised to see that we were in fact charged $9... If there was an extra charge for flavoured pancakes, that should be mentioned especially since I assumed plain ones werent available based on the servers question. The eggs benny I ordered said it came with a choice of meat... I ordered sausage and it came sliced under the eggs (instead of peameal), which I thought was odd. The food overall was mostly all frozen and not fresh. The service was great and friendly, but not nearly enough to make up for such soulless food. Lots of better breakfast options in this city, so I wouldnt come back. Kid-friendliness: A small but satisfactory kids menu... But beware of surprise upcharges.

ABSOLUTELY REPULSED by the service here, my husband ordered a poached eggs Benny breakfast with a side of mushrooms and was charges 2 servings and was told there were 2 slices of bread. We also ordered a turkey sandwich repeatedly confirmed with the waitress and even pointed to the menu and was still charged for a more expensive sandwich. We had also asked for 1 side order of sauce and was charged 8 times for this 1 side order. The waitresses prioritized low priority tasks when customers were waiting for items they had asked repeatedly for and told to wait. The owners wife is always rude and dismissive any time we have gone in with the family and today just topped the charts, she has no customer service skills and no hospitality skills whatsoever As I have said I have gone here with my family many times and our meal is always the same WE ALWAYS ORDER THE SAME THINGS NOTHING EXTRA AND THE TOTAL IS ALWAYSSSSS DIFFERENT Not going back

We ve come now 3 times and each time we have left happy. We have a 4 year old and on our most recent visit she was more eager to eat the fruit that came with her meal and ignored her pancake.

I dont want to be too hard on anyone, but the food here was very weird. One of the diners in our party of 3 asked for fried onions in his home fries, and what they brought was home fries with a tiny pile of barely-cooked fried onions on top. They were totally separate from the home fries, not cooked with them. The home fries themselves were odd. Seemed like they were frozen and then baked in the oven. No flavour at all, just dry. I dont even remember what else was so weird, but I remember feeling the vibe that the people cooking the food had no idea what that food was supposed to taste or look like. I cant say Ill be back.

I noticed they are always improving! On the rise. Delicious food- gives some of the old spots a run for their money. Family friendly and decent meals. Pricing is fair and portions are good. The only thing I would suggest is to cook the fries 1-2 mins longer! That s it- clean place and very easy to order/pickup for takeout too. Classic meals and quick service.

Theyre in their third week, so theres room to grow. I LOVE their attitude and customer service. Once they sort the food out, this will be my go-to. Heres a helpful hint though; when your customer doesnt eat most of what they ordered because it was poorly prepared, they shouldnt be charged full pop. I will be back, and I wish you well. Update: Thanks but I tried emailing you and the email address you gave doesnt work.

Was excited to try because of the reviews, however was super disappointed. The service was very awkward, our orders got mixed up, as well as the food tasting horrible we couldnt even finish it. We spent 65$ for two breakfasts and a kids breakfast, for none of us to have more than 3 bites. Wish we could have gotten our money back. Will never be back here.

We dined here and had a mix of breakfast and lunch. The experience and food was disappointing. When I think of a diner, I think of fresh, homemade delicious food. Majority of the food is frozen and fried. The fries tasted like frozen fries, as well the home fries are also frozen which were inedible, being el dente and their seasoning was paprika which on its own made them smell and taste off. Fresh fries and home fries don t take much effort and make a huge difference. The rye toast that came with the breakfast, at first glance I thought they forgot to bring the Toast as they served 2 end pieces which were about 1.5-2 long most restaurants don t serve the ends, I get not wasting, not an extra piece when it s the ends maybe? It was literally 2 bite toast. The hamburger they said was homemade and was decent. The coffee was warm not hot, and we were not offered fresh or additional fills. Another table of a lone diner, brought the temperature issue to the owners wife, and instead of saying, let me brew you a fresh cup she opened up the pot, said there s still steam, it s okay. Needless to say he also didn t get a fresh cup or a refill. It s a 2 star food. Fresh and homemade could make this place a 5 star. When I go out, I would like my food to taste better or at least as good as I can make at home. This was not the case. I also noticed that they haven t really been responding to the reviews that are critiquing the food or service. I believe the lower star ratings can be a great resource and guide to improve service and food if customer satisfaction is one s number one goal. You can t please everyone, (one can try) and in todays restaurant Industry, frozen is not where it s at.

My husband and I love to visit local diners whenever we travel and this place is a gem. It was a bit busy on a Friday morning but we got seated in a booth after waiting at the bar. We were fine just sitting at the bar to eat, but everyone was nice enough to try and accommodate us in a booth when one opened up. Service was fast, food was good and loved the coffee refills. Usual small town diner atmosphere, which we love. All the patrons in the diner seem to know each other and kept the place very lively.
