2560 Gerrard St E, Scarborough, ON M1N 1W8, Canada
Great food, big portions! Amazing service. The server gave our son crayons and a kids menu to colour on, kept him busy! Super friendly and helpful when customizing my order. Lots of daily specials and home made soups. I got the chicken schnitzel dinner special, my wife got the lasagna with ceaser salad. Food came out very quick and was delicious. Highly recommend! We will be back!
Have always enjoyed my visits to The Quarry over the years, great food and John was one of the nicest servers ever.
Fantastic place! Was recommended by family so I took my mother there for her birthday yesterday. Portions are amazing, food tastes wonderful. My only negative would be lack of fountain drinks/refills, but this wouldn't sway me from going back. Photo: The Quarry Burger.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently dined at The Quarry Cafe and ordered their Eggs Lorraine (peameal egg benedict with cheddar cheese). While the home fries were average, the overall experience was quite pleasant. The food was decent, the service was attentive, and the atmosphere was welcoming. It's a great spot for a satisfying meal without any fuss.
Classic diner, family owned and operated. Everything from taste, portion to service is just great. The place is a frequent staple for locals and I've been here twice since discovering them recently. It's now a staple breakfast spot for me too. Ive had their classic breakfast items so far but seeing the other items being ordered at other tables, I don't doubt that everything on the menu will be tasty - I can't wait to work my through the entire menu!
This place has one of the best brunches! The eggs Benedict was so so good! I had the salmon one and my friend had a Halloumi one. Both were amazing. I actually went back to back on two weekends for the Benedict. The atmosphere is quite good. Very homely setting. The service is a bit slow because they are so busy and packed but I think the servers can pay a bit more attention to the tables so people are not waiting to pay or to order.
Absolutely loved this place. I would recommend it to everyone. We ordered the eggs Benedict and another dish to that I don't remember the name. It is one of the best breakfasts I've had in Toronto. It had perfect proportions of everything. I choose avocado instead of bacon, and man, that was a good choice! Love love the breakfast here. Their fresh orange juice was also nice. The pancakes were not that great, slightly bland but they were definitely not bad. The servers are also nice and friendly.
I came here once before it was renovated/changed and was very unimpressed. It's come a long way since then! Brunch on the patio was great. It's a very inviting space that actually reminded me of holidays in the subtropics. (Thanks in part to the patio being covered in beautiful tropical plants and the summer day being hot and humid.) The food was decent. Nothing spectacular but to find a decent breakfast in this area that isn't a chain like Eggsmart, and without a line up on weekend brunch, it's a gift. I asked for medium eggs and got them pretty hard (and the vinegar from the poaching was really strong) but otherwise an okay meal. The cappuccino was very good too. Our server was lovely and friendly and food came quickly. Patio is spaced nicely so it's not too crowded that you feel too close to others, but not so far apart that it feels empty. Prices are reasonable and honestly, I would come back here for a weekend breakfast again.
The food is amazing but its time to paint the ceiling.
Amazing Cafe
Love this restaurant the service, the staff, the food all absolutely fanfriggingtastic.
This is our breakfast spot. Always a great meal. Wait staff is awesome. Kid-friendliness: Absolutely Wheelchair accessibility: I believe so.
Great breakfast, great people, good price.
The food was very delicious .
Found a gem, breakfast place.
Service and food were great. We enjoyed our breakfast but didn t love the coffee. A better cup would have made the experience perfect.
Okay food good service
First of all, it s a family owned cozy with patio restaurant including breakfast. I came for breakfast. The food here was just to perfection. I ordered the steak and Benedict. The hollandaise sauce was creamy and smooth, very refreshing and not oily at all. The steak was done to my want of rareness and tender. The eggs were alittle over done in terms of a Benedict but here s the thing, their service was above and beyond. I did not complain at all nor mention about it but our waiter (tall handsome refreshing looking guy) was attentive and caring and came by offering to remake an entire additional order of fresh poached eggs for me without hesitation! He said he noticed the eggs were not smothering like it should be when I cutted them. The remake order which came was fresh and done to perfection. It s the heart that counts. Even the lady (who looks like one of the owners) beside the bar counter smiled to us and mentioned very kindly to us to always let them know if anything was off. Every dish that came out of the kitchen seemed insanely appetizing, hot, and fresh. This great service from both sides of their restaurant was just heart warming to start off my day. They stand by their quality and service and I would definitely come back for more good food and their friendly service. This is a rare find and all this was on a busy Saturday morning at 11:30AM.
Wonderful food and excellent services! Definitely come back again
Really great family type place. Love the food here.
The food is SO good here! We come here minimum once a month. The patio is awesome during the summer! Service is always good. It is usually busy on Sundays. If you plan on coming here for Mother s Day I highly suggest you go as early as possible or you will have to wait in line outside for about 15 minutes. This is a very popular spot for Mother s Day. They do not take reservations for Mother s Day either.
After eating here a couple times for breakfast, we finally got to the Quarry for dinner. It was delicious! I had the chicken souvlaki dinner, which was a very generous amount of food, all of which was delicious -- chicken, rice, roasted potatoes, Greek salad and garlic toast. The garlic toast was particularly good. The service is super friendly. Theres a very small kids menu, but when all my 4-year-old wants is chicken fingers, it works for me. Im looking forward to going back and trying more items.
Nice cozy place to have breakfast. The food was good, and they made you feel welcome
A staple for us and never disappointed. Breakfast, brunch or dinner. Always just like home cooked.
A real treasure hidden away at the south end of Victoria Park, great food atmosphere and service, what more could you want. Parking: There is only one
Solid food...great service and in a great setting
Awesome food and service run by owners that care! Huge fan of Quarry Cafe!!
Have been coming here for about 5 years (needed to replace The Wexford). Food is consistently great, large portions, good prices, friendly staff,never disappoints.Its out of the way for us, but worth it.
I love the quarry cafe.
Fantastic breakfast! Incredible service! Im gonna take my whole family next time!
Great food Great service Great value Great place Highly recommended for a family dinner of a date night
Mediterranean Avocado Toast was out of this world.
Went with my family first issue: got our order wrong and didn t even fix it, second issue: when the time to pay the bill came we left a $10 tip and the man had the audacity to say this is not enough as a first time client this made me never want to come here again. Trash
We have been ordering only from the Quarry with Uber for a month or two. Food is fantastic!! Chicken souvlaki and Greek salad are amazing. Great portions and so fresh! Thank you for always having a guaranteed great meal!!
I think we have found our go-to breakfast and brunch spot in the area. Service is phenomenal, prices are reasonable, food is tasty and portion sizes are definitely generous.
Great food. Very large portions. Excellent service. Reasonable prices.
Decent spot for breakfast. Has a nice shaded patio for outdoor eating. Indoor dining area is a good size but needs a bit of an update. Very large menu with some unique options for eating. Food was ok and the portions were a generous amount. Service was good to make up for it. Will revisit again in the future.
All dishes Cooked to perfection top notch service cant wait to go back
Absolutely my favourite spot in the neighbourhood for breakfast.
Great service, delicious food, nice atmosphere and good prices.
We usually do takeout, they have large menu for every taste, the food is consistently delicious and plentiful - the chicken souvlaki dinner is a family favourite we love!
Everything was lovely! From the friendly staff, delicious food and lovely service I can say I will definitely recommend!!! Ps.. (Chicken Souvlaki was BOMB !)
Nice covered patio with large portions and overall good food. Great service
Great spot for family friendly get togethers. Expansive menu with something for all, including gluten free options. Nice patio for summer vibes. Friendly staff and quick service.
Came here with the family today for Father s Day, and we waited about 55 minutes for our food. By this time about 5-6 other tables full of more people had already been served their food. All 5-6 of these families were also behind us in line. Considering we are regular customers this was very disappointing and probably our last time coming here. Update we got our food just after an hour of waiting. They messed up mine and my mom s orders and we found hair in her food. Absolute joke 0/10 if I m being honest.
It took over an hour to get our food. People that came after us still managed to get their food first. When we finally got our food, they had our order wrong and there was a hair in my eggs. Was it a head hair or pubic hair? It s understandable that they would be busy, but when more than 5 tables get their food first, it s unacceptable.
Great home style brunch place. Food was cooked well but a little bland and plain for the pricing. Cleanliness is about 8/10. Id go here again
I ve been for breakfast a few times and always had a great experience. Food is hot and service is exceptional.
Great staff, very clean and their homemade burgers and breakfast is awesome! And taste so good!
Always delicious!
This is my favourite place for Sunday breakfast. Staff is awesome and friendly and food is super good. Portions are substantial.
I got the eggs Florentine today ! Expect it to be busy around breakfast/lunch but ofcourse thats normal :p i got my order taken and my food brought to me within 10ish mins. Great portion size , friendly waitresses. I could barely even finish the third egg it was so filling so deff worth the price. Fresh and hot. Will deff be back again and will recommend:)
Very pleased to hear a family restaurant is doing well enough to open a second place. I enjoy their breakfasts though have lately tried their dinner meals for a change and more healthy option. Good portions, tasty food, nice service and happy tummy. I tried their baklava this time - wow! A meal in itself and very good. 10!
Great food Great staff Food
A neighbourhood staple!
Homophobic. As I enter, I see the male server and he sees me. As soon as I am noticed he winks to his colleague at the kitchen window. We were seated and then told that my usual the mousaka is unavailable. Three times have I tried to visit here to have the mousaka and three times have they said that it is unavailable. Fine, I left. I decided to check the food delivery apps for this restaurant and lo and behold the mousaka is available there. Theyre racist, homophobic, and liars at their core. Do not give them your money.
I once sent a dish back because it was abnormally sour, now when I go back they say it is unavailable every time. Will not be returning.
Very fresh food and friendly service.
Recently stopped in from out of town for breakfast.. had the avocado toast with fruits on the side totally hit the spot! Was so delicious. very happy for the price and service. Thanks to my server Andreyand Joanna and all the people behind-the-scenes totally make it worth coming back.
Nice family restaurant with options for every palate. They serve mimosa with fresh orsnge juice and I love the patio with banana plants. Our server was Andrey, and he is simply the best.
Wow. I cannot say enough great things about my experience at this establishment. The service was amazing; friendly and knowledgeable staff who took amazing care of me and gave me the best experience. The atmosphere was comfortable and upbeat. The food was incredible. As a former server, I have a keen eye for detail. The servers and chefs nailed it. I will absolutely be back and would highly recommend this restaurant to everybody. Thank you Quarry Cafe. Ill see you soon!
Found this gem of a restaurant. Great Family atmosphere and service. I had the Village Greek salad, it was delicious and fresh. Would definitely eat there again. Highly recommend.
Solid spot. Love the food & always feel so comfortable coming in to eat. As a server myself, always appreciate a resto that makes me want to return.
The food is terrific, and the staff are very friendly.
This is a lovely local family restaurant. The menu is diverse and extensive. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They have a bar. The food is delicious, specially the souvlaki dinner. The service is very good too and the prices are reasonable. There is free parking onsite.
Great little greasy spoon
Great spot to eat. Loved it.
The Greek Salad is SUPERB! These two owners created their own fresh lemon, oregano, GreekOlive oil dressing that s so fresh! I come in from Cambridge for their creation. Servers Joanna and Sanad made our Dinner so pleasant. Impeccable service I can t wait to return. We always get a special greeting from the Owners when exiting, as an extra touch of Class
We ordered the Quarry Special for breakfast and it was delicious, wasn t a fan of the home fries tho. Pancakes & sausages were superb. My kids had the chicken fingers & fries and enjoyed them.
My favourite place to have brunch! Classic diner atmosphere. The food is fresh and delicious. The service is friendly and quick. My favourite dishes are the mediterranean omelette, and the eggs benedict with avocado and halloumi.
Great Greek food restaurant with big portion! Recommend gyro dinner
Great food , super staff!!! New breakfast place
Super friendly service. The eggs benedict and chicken souvlaki dinner were very tasty. Would return :)
Very nice cozy family place for breakfast!
Nice cozy place with friendly staff, good quality food, and reasonable price.
Great food and good-sized portions. Friendly service and a great atmosphere for dining. Chris, the owner, is very polite and takes care of his customers. The souvlaki dinner is great, and the breakfast options are amazing Food
Great little spot for a quick breakfast. Staff were super friendly and service was quick. Had the quarry French toast with bacon and it hit the spot. Will be back!
Vegans will leave hungry due to very limited options. Vegetarian options: Ok for vegetarians but NOT vegans
Feb 2024 update review. We continue to enjoy The Quarry. The food is great and the service is even better! Back to 5 star all across the board! Aug 2023 update review. Tried Quarry again and must say it is much improved since the last few experiences in 2018. Their Greek food menu is really good and service seems better, although I have only had takeout so far. Hopefully quality stays high and can stay in our regular rotation of local dining options. June 2018 review. This used to be a 5 star place, but recently I have the wrong order given to me on pick up only to realize when I got home. I have been going here since 2005 but in the last year it has been hit and miss. As much as I am going to miss ordering from The Quarry, I dont think I will back
Very friendly staff and good food. Lots of selections to choose from.
As Uber diver I went to pick up the food. The male server said it s not ready. And I said I will wait for it. The food got ready and the server didn t even bothered to tell me and made me wait extra 10 mins. Full of attitude thumbs down
This is another great find. The food, staff and atmosphere are all wonderful. They have a great little patio in the summer months. I have had breakfast, lunch, and dinner here and have never been disappointed. Food
Great service ! Joanne was the best I really loved it when she comes over to our table and shouts, Opa !
An outstanding restaurant - best Greek food in town. My friends and family love the atmosphere, food and service. The owners, Chris and Alexandria, and servers are like family. Highly recommend. Food
Great little breakfast joint.
Terrible customer service. My friend and I waited for 15 minutes for a table and they let other white people ahead of us because table for 4 was ready even if they just came. So if you re not white this place is not for you!! But if your white enjoy
Good food with a a clean atmosphere. Great family owned gem!
Excellent location for a relaxed casual atmosphere. Food is always delicious and plentiful !!
Good value, good food
Decent Greek Canadian run restaurant. Was quite busy when I visited, on a Friday morning around 11:30. I think they were a bit overwhelmed with the crowd but they handled it quite well. Had a breakfast meal which was quite good and well prepared. Service was good but server was being run ragged with the crowd. He held his own.
Love The Quarry Cafe. Good food for the price. Nice outdoor patio, inside can get a bit noisy, though. Staff work really hard and are very nice people.
Delicious food and lovely staff! If youre in Canada it is worth the trip. They have a huge selection with breakfast. Recommend asking for the waffle <3
we were there for a reunion so Icant farely judge the overall quality for personal dining.
Best Cafe after lovely beach day to hydrate w Shirley Temple and pouting and club sandwich! Kid-friendliness: My grandgirls really enjoyed the place. Even had Nutella for the French toast 5 yr old!
Great breakfast!
I ve come here a few time for breakfast and it was absolutely fantastic. Recently stopped in for dinner and it was very disappointing. Calamari was just oily squid rings and way overpriced. Burger was tasteless and again overpriced. Chicken souvlaki dinner was ok but again overpriced I ll be back with my family for Breakfast but sorry you guys missed the mark on dinner. Dietary restrictions: They really have a great menu with some pretty healthy options for breakfast Parking: Parking with ease Kid-friendliness: Great kids breakfast menu
Amazing service! So much fun at at birthday party! Opa!
My wifes breakfast waffles were served first and just plunked in front of us with no syrup or butter. 15 min later my order showed up. The waitress removed the cold Belgium waffles for some fresh ones at my request. A couple of bites into the new waffle order my wife had to remove several hairs from the food. When I called one of the waiters over he looked at it and said What is that ? Needless to say we got up and walked out. Worst breakfast experience ever. I have to give a one rating but it should be negative -10
All I can say is dont eat here unless you like clusters of hair in your waffles! Absolutely disgusting
Went here for lunch today . Portions are large , prices are VERY reasonable and I strongly recommend it . Great Breakfasts , Burgers , Salads & Entrees . Worked near here 18 years ago and had forgotten how good it was . Will be back SOON . R. Anderson . Food
Beautiful sumner patio, extensive, reasonably priced menu and friendly staff. Loved the avocado toast and the western sandwich. Food came quickly.
The food is above average as well as their service. I highly recommend this place for breakfast!
Service, food and place were excellent!!!!
This is my favorite breakfast spot in Scarborough. Eggs Benedict is absolutely amazing !
Always great breakfast, fast and friendly service, nice outdoor patio thats covered.
Came for breakfast. Great spot. Lovely patio. Food was tasty and portions are decent! Thanks, Andrey for the service.
Great place for breakfast or dinner. Food was delicious and the place was super clean. Cant wait to try their patio as well when the weather gets warmer.
Breakfast is great! Fresh orange juice.
Place is always full with locals. Great spot for a quick meal. Service is fast and attentive. The food is great with fairly large portions. Price is also reasonable. Parking: Lots of parking available but can be busy during peak times. Spots can be a little tight for larger vehicles. Kid-friendliness: Lots of options for kids. Coloring pages always given right away. Kids portions were also a decent size.
My sisters and I got Belgian Waffles. We did not think they were spectacular but eatable. We also got a side of home fries and avocado. The avocado was perfect. The home fries were too mushy for our taste. The service was okay. Our waiter never stopped by after we ordered and received our food until the end. The green tea was very good though!
I went here for brunch recently, and I already want to go back again. The food here was amazing. I had the eggs Benedict with avocado and halloumi cheese. Portion was pretty big, and I could have 2 meals from it. Taste was too good, and I loved the eggs. I would definitely like to visit again soon and try other items on their menu.
Great little family owned cafe. Our server for brunch was VERY attentive and the food was reasonably costed. If I were a local, if be here everyday. Great hash browns. Update: I revisited for lunch 3 years later and are on the patio. Food is still great. I recommend the burger!
Very nice place. Good food, good service, clean stablishment. We had an excellent time Turing breakfast with our 2yo toddler.
Nice place to have breakfast
Great food. Served promptly Great service. Food
Best avocado halloumi eggs benedict I have ever had!
We went into the restaurant at 7:25 pm and the web noted closing at 8 pm. The first waitress pleasant gave menus for us to order, very polite, we knew had to order promptly since kitchen closing. Then waitress with glasses came over & told us closed as we were to order closed. Then I said the web says 8, she double talked, first said fine but need to finish by 7:40 pm, and then changed to 8 pm, two stories matter of 5 minutes which upset me, now irritated. We are regular customer and tip 20% or more. I am not going to spend $50plus to eat to eat in 15 minutes, and tip somebody 20% to push me out the door. Very rude! We could have ordered and been out by 8 pm but by her tone start to finish, we just said we would go someplace else. I have two occasions where I am taking out folks in next few days and we will be eating out, although a regular I dont need rude and I am reconsidering where to go. This would not have happened if the owner was there. Sad they feel the liberty to treat folks like this. Disappointing. Not happy!
Have had lunch and breakfast here. Perfect dinner with Greek flavor. Breakfast is great
Greek atmosphere...the food and service was really good.
Amazing chicken souvlaki
First time there waiter was efficient and friendly. Food portions were great and food was tasty. Prices were good and fair. Patio was big and cozy. Parking: Lots of spaces. Wheelchair accessibility: Its on first floor and doors are big enough for a wheelchair.
Beware of the $5 Split Charge. This is an additional charge if theres anyone in your party that doesnt order food. Cheapest thing on the menu is a $6 fruit cup that we were forced to add to our bill. We definitely wont be coming here as often. Its a shame. Food and service here are decent and overall, its a good neighbourhood spot. Why not just implement a minimum $10 per person charge instead? Would have rather ordered a few more beverages instead. Between 3 adults and a toddler, we were spending close to $60 before adding the fruit cup.
Great comfort food, and their pork souvlaki is to die for! Great place for families and friends to meet up for brunch, as their breakfast is always a go to for me! Get the peameal bacon with homefries, nice portions, and great tasting food!
Beautiful sunlit space with reasonable and delicious offerings. Cant wait to go back and try their eggs benny and Greek dishes
Will be back for sure...worth the drive
Staff were great,
Had an awesome brunch! New favorite place #KCCO
Staff are always friendly and food portions are generous and delicious!
What a treat. This has old school Greek family restaurant vibes and we loved it. My partner had Halloumi Benedict and it was wonderful. I had the healthy breakfast and the salad was nice and large, the meat portion was nice and large. Both our breakfasts were substantial and hearty in a good way. We really liked our visit and will come again. Yes the prices are a bit higher but the portions are large and inflation is killing everyone. Honestly, good meal. Fair prices. Come eat here, when we came it was packed, not a single empty seat for a reason. Parking: Huge parking lot. Kid-friendliness: They have colouring for the kids and kids meals that all the children who were here liked. Wheelchair accessibility: Not so much. It s a smaller space. If it was busy someone may have accessibility issues. In a slower time of the day. Shouldn t be an issue.
Foods awesome. Portion sizes are good. The owner and staff are wonderful people. Always enjoy a good breakfast here and their chicken souvlaki dinner is amazing!
Nice little local place. Friendly, well kept, good food with a nice selection to choose from.
I only had breakfast there . To far for me to go on a regular basis . So not sure about the other things on the menu . Food
Came for brunch on a Sunday morning. Busy place. Line up out the door for a table, however the restaurant was speedy in getting every one waiting seated promptly. I think we waited at most 15 minutes. Service was good, a bit brusque, it felt as through they want you to basically order, eat and leave. That being said, food came out quickly and coffee top-ups were plentiful. Menu is a fantastic mix of traditional Greek dishes and a large breakfast selection. I had the Greek omelette and my husband had the Western omelette, both served with a good portion of potato hash and toast. Flavors were good and portion sizes large. Good place if you re looking for a quick, filling weekend breakfast place. Kid-friendliness: Family friendly. Lots of options on the menu for the kids.
Love the place very comfortable with all the plants and caring staff. Parking: Depends on the time that you arrive. Ive been lucky getting a spot every time and have been going.for years. Kid-friendliness: Family friendly children are welcome.
Hidden Gem in the East side of Toronto. Great food.
Great food and large portions. Very impressed with this restaurant. Will return for sure.
I got the Eggs Benedict. It was very very good. Will definitely come back! Parking: Small parking area, but had a couple spots to park. Food : 5/5 |
Great tasting eggs, in large portions. Very busy during Sunday lunch, but despite that service was good and quick.
The Quarry has been here for years and years, and until recently, I had only been for breakfast....long ago. Tried it for dinner, and was back again 10 days later. The food here is great, tasty and plentiful. And its still got that old fashioned, dinner out, dine-in feel.
I went with a dear girlfriend of mine ! Cozy atmosphere great food! Parking: Lots of parking available Wheelchair accessibility: Has wheelchair accessibility too !
The food was good, but the place is one big room with high ceilings, so the noise, when its busy, is a lot. The general atmosphere just feels uncomfortable and crowded. I get why theyre trying to fit as many people as they can in there, but theres a price to doing that, and its comfort. I wouldnt go back, for that reason alone.
Food was great, large portions and lots to choose from.
Had the Quarry breakfast and it was delicious, paired it with a caesar - yum! My girlfriend had avocado toast and a French onion soup. Everything was so fresh and tasty as well as really good sized portions. The gentleman who was serving us was absolutely fantastic. Attentive, friendly, and a pro at his job. Really really enjoyed ourselves and will be back! Thank you!
Good service from the staff, quick to serve the food. The dishes are abundant and fresh. The environment very quiet and clean. Highly recommended.
