Family Restaurant Since 1973 Breakfast & Lunch
Had a fantastic breakfast there today with Amber serving me. It’s like a perfect throwback greasy spoon and she brought the personality to match. Good food, good coffee and a whole lot of sass and laughs with your meal! Will be back for sure
Our favourite spot for brunch in town! Foods are good with excellent, attentive service and neighbourhood atmosphere. Very reasonable price point also!
Charming restaurant in Peterborough. Came here for brunch with the family and had a nice brunch. Prices are reasonable. Enjoyed the fact that coffee/tea was included with each breakfast order. What made this place great were the two lovely waitresses. They were so nice and attentive. Definitely would come back!
I enjoyed every diner detail! My bestie and I wanted to brunch hard so we went straight here. We ordered the classic breakfast with a side pancake and coffee! Added som Frank’s Hot Sauce and Ketchup - oh my we were set! Thank you for the enjoyable memories and delicious food!
New to town and met family for breakfast. Fantastic service, food and coffee. Large portions, reasonable prices and lots on the menu to choose from. Waited to be seated, but not long, and very attentive staff seated us quickly. We’ll be back and highly recommend. 🙏🏻
We were a group of seven for a brunch. Ordered strawberry French toast, pancakes and some egg dishes with meat customization. Can’t say enough about the meats we got especially the sausage. Apart from all the dishes being fresh, and really balanced, salt wise and sweetness, the service was really fast as well as the atmosphere was light and respectful. Exceeded our expectations!! Would recommend this restaurant 100%!
The best breakfast joint in Peterborough by far! Their food is fresh and the menu is large. The coffee is hot and strong. The service is top notch. Andrea is doing an incredible job! She takes the time to get to know all the customers and makes just enough small talk to make you feel at home. The food is delicious and the portions are large. We will return for sure!
The restaurant is located on the Queensway road and it looks very unassuming. They make up for it with amazing service and delicious food - I visited this place for a late brunch and had a very good time. The waitress was very attentive and welcoming. The portions were large and the food tasted fresh and well prepared. Their home fries are one of the best I tried along with their pancakes. I would definitely be visiting again.
Best breakfast....was my first visit
Nice diner, friendly staff, great staff and great food
Great classic breakfast spot.
Obvious that there are new owners who have brought in all new staff who do not know what they are doing. People weren t getting their food at the same time. Servers looked uncomfortable. The old staff were amazing. What shortsightedness to have gotten rid of them!!!!!!
Such a cute little diner, with awesome food and a welcoming environment, and decently priced! Cant wait to come back
Food took forever, lips stick on my coffee cup, forgot to bring is cutlery so waited to eat after waiting patiently for our food already. Everything was over cooked and the potatoes didnt taste good didnt look very fresh..... been coming here for a while but its going down hill. Wont be back.
Great homemade breakfast diner.
Simple breakfast restaurant. Food was good. Not fancy.
One of my forever favourite spots
Staff is very nice and food was very good.
A great place for quick service and good food at a reasonable price.
Extremely slow. Forty minutes for grilled cheese and pancakes. Waitress and cook were very good. Clearly not enough staff here. Disappointing.
Had breakfast there this morning ! Lets just say it was amazing as always ! My favourite breakfast !
The food is incredible and so is the customer service. Kallista was amazing. 10/10 recommend
Its too good of a hidden gem. There is no other spot like it. Kallista was fantastic, and Ill be coming here for life
Decided to go over to Queensway for my breakfast this morning and it was absolutely amazing food service and environment! Thank you kallista!!! Will be a monthly reoccurrence
Used to come here quite often but with the new ownership experience, its very obvious that there is a huge disconnect between management and employees. Servers were doing there very best but unfortunately you are only as good as your weakest player and that player was managment standing in the corner on the phone while the staff struggled. Over priced food, small quantities and not busy like it used to be!
This little unassuming place has delicious food, a very homey atmosphere and fantastic friendly service! I would recommend to ANYONE wanting a great meal!
Used to be great for food and potions were great, with no owners you are left hungry and not satisfied, I wont be back!
Great food... down home feel. STELLAR soup
Too expensive
Food was good, service was friendly, Im just not sure about $20 for a small BLT and a handful of fries.
Great food and friendly atmosphere.
Our favourite breakfast dîner. Its not fancy but its consistently tasty and is homey. Mediterranean Omelet is my favourite.
This is somewhere I have been coming for years. Unfortunately after the service I received today I don t think I will return.
EDIT 2024: I have been a regular at The Queensway for a few years now with only the best experiences. The business was sold and now the service is absolutely terrible; arguably the most disorganized and forgetful staff. I m not sure if they hired inexperienced wait staff or what, but I will absolutely never be returning. Absolutely heartbreaking. ORIGINAL POST IN 2023: 5/5. Wish I could give them more stars! Favourite place in town with the friendliest staff around!
It s always a pleasure to come here for an absolute down home atmosphere!
This is our second home! We absolutely love this place!! Jen and Billy are always on point and know exactly how we like our food!! The service is even better!! Excellent prices and great atmosphere!! Thanks guys for always making our breakfast so special!!!
Great homemade food served quickly and with a great price
Always a pleasure to dine at The Queensway. Pams been great friends for long time.
Thank you so much Pam for all you and the girls do! Our Brunch was amazing as usual xo
Its a regular breakfast spot. Nothing was too amazing about it but thats not always what people need or want. The food was good. The servers were sweet. Its just not going to be my weekend go-to.
Excellent service , food was so good!
Quick and always good. Staff are nice and friendly.
Awesome. just wish l lived closer so l could frequent more.
Great diner! Very comfortable with a wonderful atmosphere. Would definitely recommend :)
delish and great service but prices have gone up quite a bit.
Great service and food!
Great food and reasonable price. Service is always spot on
To make it simple. Get the Breakfast Poutine! Absolutely delicious meal, and its enough to fill you up for the entire day. Bottom is hasbrowns then eggs any style, and your choice of meat. Topped with lots of hollandaise sauce. Inside has been renovated since I was last in. Also, this deserves a mention. Queensway has the to be one of the very few restaurants where the tea pot does not spill down the spout when pouring. Very bright and open dining area. Great staff and prices. Only issue is with the entrances from the road which are riddled with potholes. The parking lot itself is fine.
Favourite place to go for breakfast!
Amazing staff, excellent value, and a classic diner environment. Menu is good Dietary restrictions: They are willing to accommodate where possible (e.g substitutions)
Just started eating here a little over a month ago. love it!
My new favourite brunch spot! Probably the best eggs benny in town! Excellent service and friendly staff
Nothing beats a good traditional breakfast bacon and eggs home fries and toast. This could become a Sunday morning ritual.
Great food and the service is very prompt and friendly. Will go again when Im back in town.
Very small diner tucked away from the main shopping areas. The food and service were both top notch. Only open for breakfast and lunch and always busy. A hidden gem for sure.
Will be back!
Epitome of the diner...breakfast is reliably delicious and great coffee. Service is fast and friendly!
We have been a regular for many years..vut qm finding I am turned off by a new annoying waitress that yells at u across the room wait to be seated scolds u like a child out loud ..humiliating ..and we have missed getting booths while waiting in the past ..so find I go to dockers to avoid this waitress..low tip didnt seem to work ..and find their meat can be over cooked
Excellent service and food !
Pam provides an easy going home cooked meal every time, all the time. Her candor is down to earth honesty. We enjoy visiting and sharing a meal. Always has a smile and best coffee in town! Parking: Lots of parking but you need to get there early as she gets busy fairly quickly! Kid-friendliness: Pam welcomes all family members - young and old alike. She enjoys chatting with her customers and includes the kids in her conversations. We appreciate when she asks about our James.
Best breakfast place in Peterborough
The food is very delicious and the staff is very friendly.
Best Breakfast in the city
Great food and great service from Pam!
Very relaxed with friendly staff! The food was great, with enough variety that I will definitely be back to try more.
First time going here Service is great food is delicious Nice and clean Definitely will be returning
Found this wonderful gem on our Anniversary road trip about a week ago. Amazing! Food was delicious, service, top notch! They even have stools to sit at the counter! Oh, how that brought back memories! I posted pictures of the Clubhouse & Chicken Salad sandwiches we ordered. Very delicious! If youre in Peterborough area, head to the Queensway. You wont be disappointed!
Great little old school breakfast spot will not disappoint. not the greatest place to look at but the food and service is always great
Very reasonable priced for great food and friendly staff. Good bang for your buck.
Food is good. Portions are great. Atmosphere is a little lacking. But its a good place to go for a quick breakfast. Kid-friendliness: Kids are fine to visit. Ask for a highchair. Kids menu available.
My go-to lunch spot.
Very good breakfast place. The food is very good: standard Canadian breakfast. The place itself is nothing special, but nothing special is really needed for breakfast. The service is good.
Had a great hearty breakfast. Appreciated the tomatoes over hash option!
Love Pam and her staff. Good home cooked breakfast
Delicious food and very friendly staff . First time there, but not my last . They definitely have a lot of regulars
nice local restaurant
Bustling breakfast spot. Lots of options. Good portions and great service. Glad we stopped in.
Good price, big portion, free refill coffee
Amazing diner breakfast with big portions and friendly staff. Well worth the visit if you are near Peterborough
Always friendly and great food ..
It s not fancy but the food was amazing. We were able to reserve a table for our group of 7 which made it so much easier for us. The two ladies working were really hustling but were very friendly. Thank you! We will be back.
First time...will be going back thanks. Clean..good food
Kid-friendliness: The ladies had highchairs right away and wiped down for our kids. They were super friendly to them and made them very happy and all smiles during lunch and on our way out. Food
We went as a party of 9 with 3 small children. The server was excellent and super friendly and the food was great at a good price too
The food here is always hot and fresh. The portions are very decent for the price and the service is well above average. This is a good place to take family for lots of variety and some very healthy selections. The parking is always plentiful and the place is clean and bright. No wonder it has been in business for decades.
Old school looks with an amazing breakfast contained in four walls. At first, it looks like an old-school greasy spoon diner. However, it s very clean and comfortable, and the food is abundant. Great place to get breakfast, and the staff are amazing! The woman who served us had it all. Knowledge, humour, and knew just the right buttons to push to make our experience great. Thank you, Queensway, we will return shortly.
Great diner that is always busy. They have good options and portion sizes for the money. I enjoy it so much that I go about once a month.
The Hudson was a really good chicken burger. Right use to every ingredient: mayo, BBQ (was not too much), lettuce, & tomato. I ate it so quickly because it was so good. The soup was good to start, different taste. The servers were really friendly & were just how you like them. Professional, efficient, & skilled. I love how great of servers they are.
Food is always amazing!!!
1st timers and the service was amazing and the food was yummy! Definitely will be returning customers. I now know why their parking lot is always packed! Thanks
Food is always good and the service is above and beyond. I always look forward to coming here
Great breakfast Friendly service Food
Great food, love the staff ,always ,clean recommend to anyone that want good food and friendly environment.
The food is the lowest quality I ever experienced! There was a hair in my sandwich! Service was good the atmosphere is comfortable.
Great family restaurant. Always feels like home.
Great food a little pricier than some
Great place for breakfast. Super friendly staff!
Great food and service at Breakfast. Place is always packed. Atmospher not so great and is crowded. You are in a time warp from the 60s but is part of the experience. Place is clean!
Loved their food and very friendly service. We ordered an Eggs Benedict and a Hit Hamburger and both were fresh and delicious. We liked the food so much ended up having a pancake too. Coffee was good and hot. The staff member served us did a top notch job too. We are out of towners but whenever we go there again we will go to this place for a meal.
Great breakfast spot in Peterborough. Always busy and service has always been good every time we ve gone.
A great little no-nonsense breakfast spot. The staff are really friendly and attended to our needs.
Sunday local breakfast place was packed with only 2 very nice ladies serving the entire place. Like a local diner. Be patient. Food is good comfort food. Lacking in the fruit on the side like Cora s tho . Same pricing as Cora s.
Food a bit low quality but the place and service is great.
Quick service, good food!
Excellent food and service Friendly staff Food
Just an every day diner. Solid eats, nice, friendly and attentive staff. Perfect place for breakfast or lunch
My friend and I visited today. Always good food, the waitress works so hard and is amazing!. This will be my go to spot for breakfast
Its a great family restaurant. The owner, Pam, works hard to provide the best service.
What can I say? The chicken club sandwich I had for lunch may have been the best sandwich Ive ever had. The best in town by far. Im ashamed to admit Ive only eaten the stellar breakfast items at the Queensway before today. Im going to be ordering this sandwich alot. Thanks Queensway. Top notch service as always.
Nice place for a quick breakfast. The owner is amazing. She has a very positive energy. Was pleasure to have breakfast in this place. Thank you
Great coffee and cup always full. Food is plentiful and hot. Staff is great.

A delightful classic, somewhere I can go to forget the world for a little bit and enjoy some good food.
The Queensway restaurant has the best breakfasts. The staff are wonderful, the prices are fair and the atmosphere is inviting. I stumbled upon this place one day and highly recommend. Its the only place I go for breakfast now.
Great Breakfast
Good breaky. Our waitress was a hoot too. Too much Hollandaise on the food but know to ask em to use 1/2 next time. Will be back
Our favorite place for breakfast when we head to town. Great small town feel to it. Service is quick and so is the food. Always hot and fresh. I would recommend stopping by to check them out.
Traveling home to Ottawa towing our trailer and stopped in for breakfast. Fabulous service, great food, awesome location to get on and off the highway and large parking lot if youre towing a trailer
Really good food, very friendly wait staff. Lots of parking. They make the best clubs!
Friendly staff and great food. Perfect place for breakfast. Be prepared to wait...lots of people love it here
Stopped here, on our way home from Bon Echo, for some breakfast. The food was good, served expediently, and reasonably priced. I had the breakfast poutine, very good. Service was reasonable, especially considering they seemed to be short staffed.
Great little gem.
Great breakfast and nice friendly service
Breakfast was fantastic! The ladies working were awesome, so friendly! We will be back with family in tow!
Absolutely love the atmosphere, the friendly staff leave you feeling like a friend coming to visit rather than another table. Everything was perfectly cooked and the coffee was divine. Will come back when Im down this way again.
South end staple of our community. Great home cooked meals. The club is real chicken no cold cut nonsense. Great coffee, great staff. Parking: Lots of room close up. Kid-friendliness: Queensway has always been family friendly.
Soup was fantastic
Very good food and friendly
Old school breakfast with a bustling vibe and best servers ever! Always fun to go! Food
Very good breakfast but getting a little expensive.
Loved it. Hadnt been in over 20 yrs but will be making this a regular spot again especially after today. Reasonable prices, great selection, awesome tasting and great service
Good simple food..well priced..friendliest staff

The food was great! The staff very friendly . Our waitress was a blast. Great experience!
Awesome food.
Really good home fries and cute diner inside, staff is friendly :)
Awesome service and even better price! Cant go wrong with this local mom and pop breakfast go to!
Huge menu, Great food, large portions and beer! Great job!!!
Simple and straightforward breakfast place with hard working staff to meet demands (especially with additional Covid checking requirements) . Very thankful for our patronage. Please dont tip percentage at breakfast...the entire coffee refill efforts AND the lower price menu items arent enough. If you can afford to eat out, support the lower paid restaurant workers who serve breaky and leave a $ five $ minimum.
Best Reuben sandwich I have ever had. The service was awesome and excrement friendly. Love it.
Excellent food and excellent friendly service
Cozy atmosphere. Service is good, they keep your coffee cup full! Food is reasonably priced and good quality. Had the Eggs Benedict poutine, was filling and tasty. When in Peterborough, find this place, you wont be disappointed.
Absolutely wonderful place! Will definitely be coming back
This is the friendliest breakfast place Ive been to in my life.
Had a good breakfast, decent portions, and reasonable prices!
Great food, and friendly service.
Love this place. Great food and even better people.
Nice home cooked breakfast.
