180 St Paul St, St. Catharines, ON L2R 3M2, Canada
I’ve been coming to this place off and on for like 15 years I feel like this place has changed since the elderly couple gave ownership over I was in there today and “the hungry man” isn’t even the hungry man anymore it’s just like a normal 3 egg breakfast with very little home fries and the 2 slices of ham is just 2 small halves which equals 1 small piece of ham food tastes great but for almost 20$ out the door after tip just isn’t worth it
my favourite spot for breakfast, great prices, portions and always hot and fresh. I have tried many different items and they are always great.
The best breakfast on St. Catharines! They were extremely friendly here, and accommodating to our large group. The food was also delicious, and came out super quick.
Family owned and operated restaurant. Come in for their huge all day breakfast special with bottomless coffee. Old diner style feel is amazing. Sit at the counter or have a set at a table, this well-preserved original look to the restaurant will transport you back to the 1970s. Wish they were open Sundays. Great friendly staff. Fast kitchen which is open for you to see the magic. Well vented facility. Low cooking smell. No credit card surcharge. Clean facility and washrooms. No kids menu seen. Washrooms are located down a flight of stairs. Parking is free before 9AM on the street. Paid street parking out front. Paid lots and garage nearby. Bus stop in front of the restaurant.
Very friendly and attentive staff. Quick service. Typical diner style restaurant; booths and counter seating. Dated but comfortable and reasonably priced. Ordered over medium eggs, they came easy. Highly recommended diner experience.
Great experience. Been meaning to try this place for the 8 years we have lived in the city. Our server Taylor was excellent, and extremely friendly. While dinning he helped an elderly man get into his nearby apartment as he was having trouble with his keys. The food was very good.. the prices were great! Less than any comparable breakfast restaurant in town. The inside was dated.. but very clean, and very enjoyable. Will definitely be back.
Super delicious, full breakfast with friendly staff. No tap pay here tho. Bring plastic or cash.
First time here. The Eggs Benedict was excellent. Made to order in an open kitchen. A+. Very kind and attentive staff! Nice people! I’ll be back for sure!!! 👍👍👍
Fantastic food
The best breakfast I had in Canada! The service is excellent and the food is perfect.

Child friendly staff! Thanks!
Old school decor. Small portions but fast service friendly for sure
Repeat visitors since Uni days..a long time love the family
Nice old school Mom and Pop feel. Get transported back to a simpler time is how I felt when I ate here. Nice people.
I recently ate here, and the service was exceptionally friendly and quick. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was pleasant and well-maintained. There is paid parking outside and nearby.
Excellent service. Hot off the grill bacon n eggs n toast and coffee was exactly as expected.
This restaurant is honestly by far the best restaurant I have been to in St Catherine s. The staff are so friendly. The food is absolutely amazing. The prices are phenomenal. If you want great food at a decent price with phenomenal service and amazing staff, I would definitely recommend to coming here.
Good was good, got served right away and enjoyed myself here
Eggs Benedict is out of this world. Excellent service fantastic professional and courteous Parking: Parking is on the street but easy to walk to the restaurant
Wonderful place. Really makes you fall in love with the region. +milkshakes
Perfect eggs, awesome service, uncomfortable booth. Ill be back!!
Ive been going here once a week for breakfast for almost a year. Service is amazing as is the food. This is the only Sunset I will go as I tried another for eggs benedict - the hollandaise actually separated. How they could have put that in front of a customer I will never know. You wont be disappointed at this Sunset.
Never stayed for food but get take-out all the time. Great food, great service with a smile.
Been coming here for many years , not as much as we once did but its still good food with fair prices still. Not the newest or freshest spot but still a good spot.
Staple visit for me when Im in Niagara. So welcoming, excellent food, and excellent service!
Great old style restaurant/diner We had breakfast. Food and service was great! Food

Cool authentic Greek family diner with a retro vibe and friendly staff. Breakfast was good although I didnt care much for the sausage
Retro diner with a great breakfast if you are downtown
Great food amazing service!!!!
Cost
Best breakfast in the city. The staff are always so friendly, it s a great family restaurant! Can t recommend enough
Still a great place as it has been for years
Love the cook
My favorite breakfast place. Only open untill 2 pm and serve lunch as well. Ive been visiting this restaurant for years and is the only place I eat breakfast other than home. Thanks ladies it always a pleasure!
This little place is hands down amazing. From the cute little diner feel, to the wonderful and accommodating staff. The food was awesome and well worth the price!! Dietary restrictions: Very understanding and accommodating
Absolutely love the old school atmosphere of the Sunset restaurant. Great food, great price and best of all, fantastic cook
A great old diner for breakfast. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. The food is well prepared. Overall, a cute little place for breakfast.
Friendly service and great food.
I love this place for its $6.95 breakfast all-day special. Can you say all-day when you close at 2:00 PM? Anyway, its a downtown institution unchanged in 50 years, still owned by the Greek couple that opened it in the 1970s. I wish they had a larger portion of home fries in the breakfast special because their home fries are excellent. Good coffee. Very pleasant staff.
love this place. nicest staff on the planet
Friendly courteous staff, not a good breakfast place at all. Cheap prices, you get what you pay for. Definitely not high grade eggs, just frozen potatoes and greasy meat, great place just for coffee
Good eggs, good coffee, good staff, good prices
Awesome restaurant!
Classic style diner with the classic breakfast special. Clean, tidy, pleasant staff. The breakfast special with a coffee (free refills) comes to $10 with tax (quite reasonable these days) before gratuity. Nice size portions. Im definitely becoming a new regular.
Dropped in this afternoon for a simple takeout order of coffee and toast. Well the way the waiter took care of business you would think I was ordering the most expensive thing on the menu. He did a TREMENDOUS job. Left a good tip and let his manager know ... and of course she already knew. Amazing!
Havent been here for about 50 years. Not much has changed. Same decor, same good food at fair prices. Friendly staff too.
Kids had a burger and fries and a shake and they all enjoyed it .I also had some
Great little restaurant. Clean and staff are fantastic
Amazing place! We really enjoy the dishes!
Awesome breakfast at an amazing price. More than enough of a serving. Very polite and curtious. Thank you, T
This is an awesome place for breakfast and lunch! The food is divine, at an excellent value and the staff are absolutely lovely. Would highly recommend.
Nice spot for breakfast at an excellent price and right in the heart of downtown. It has a classic look to it of an aold school breakfast joint so it has a cozy atmosphere.
We enjoyed our visit with friends and the food was good.. To use the washroom you have to go down some steep stairs which was difficult for one member of our group and the parking was expensive and if you dont go early, be prepared to walk some distance..
Had the turkey club with fries. Very good
First time here, and it is a very cute and cozy atmosphere. Our food was made in an open kitchen which we loved! Our server was Taylor, and he was so attentive, friendly and always on the move! Everyone here seems like they love what they re doing. Food was amazing. The prices are so reasonable too. 10/10 would recommend.
waiter with black long hair is a beauty! great place great food great service great prices
Awesome place great atmosphere.
Very pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff, eggs benny was delicious and prices are great, definitely coming back again.
Very friendly and so accommodating to my nieces . Hot food , tastes good . Definitely go again
Good service, tasty breakfast, ok price. Been here more than 4 times, food is good all the time and tastes the same Well done guys.
The best breakfast in the city, best service always never change , good, friendly, hard working staff, and very nice family.
Always a great experience. Delicious food with excellent service at a great price.
Legit Adore this place. The staff, the atmosphere and the food is to die for. Get downtown for the best breakfast and lunch in the area!! Great prices and portions. Best salad dressing too!! We go once a week!!! Park your car, walk, bike, skateboard whatever to this place
Lovely place! Went a total of 3 times and good experience each time. The staff were friendly and food was made quickly and tasted good.
I was working the farmers market and had a issue with out kettle. I was desperate for boiling water, so I walked into the sunset restaurant durning the breakfast rush hoping that they could help me procure some. Without a second thought the lovely staff member (who was clearly busy with the packed house of patrons) filled my large thermos and even went the extra mile by giving the vessel a quick wipe down. I offered to pay for the service but was promptly denied. By the looks of the packed tables of happy familys, couples young and old, and groups of friends, I can assume this spot is a favorite for a lot of folks. We will be back soon for breakfast because of this wonderful experience. Thanks again.
Great staff. Kind friendly and reasonable fast. Good place to eat.
Awesome place for a hearty breakfast in the heart of Saint Catherines ... Heartwarming and friendly service as well!
A staple of downtown St Catharines, high quality ingredients in a kind of greasy spoon atmosphere.
Great food, great service and awesome friendly staff which make it such a wholesome place to go to. The prices are excellent too.
A staple of downtown St. Catharines, their breakfast choices are hard to beat and well worth the visit.
Amazing breakfast, Amazing service this restaurant is the only place in St. Catharines that I go for breakfast
Wasnt expecting much here, we decided to settle for this place that I remember from back in the day. Was pleasantly surprised. The benedict was amazing. Perfectly poached eggs. Im not big into homefries but they had coin cut the potatoes and lightly applied season salt and they were delicious! Service was great, so happy we went today..
Awesome place for a great meal!!!
Nice little downtown diner with a good all day sit down breakfast special for 8 bucks. One of the better lunch deals Downtown.
Went in today with my partner and we had their wonderful all day breakfast special, and it made our day! Great service, food came out quick and everything was cooked perfectly- potatoes nice and crispy, The bacon was so flavourful and smokey. Coffee was decent and of course the prices were wonderful! And everyone working was just so kind, our server was so attentive and great at his job (I believe it was Taylor but I sadly didnt get his name). These are the best vibes, so welcoming, just like how things used to be when people talked to eachother more. This will happily be our new spot for sure and cant wait to try more on the menu. Thanks again!
Classic diner experience. Everything you expect.
Amazing food Love the steak sub
Absolutely the best place to eat. Extremely kind service and great food keeps me coming back for more. Thanks :)

This place is absolute I was tempted to leave a bad review just so youll stay the hell away from my favorite spot
We were here today for breakfast and it was busy, but the gentleman server was incredible. Just good energy, and it aint easy to keep that up and be constant so great work! . All the people who work here are amazing One of our favorite places to come and eat breakfasts/Lunch. Family friendly great staff and awesome food, overall great experience!

Best homefries and cheap breakfast hands down!!
I love this gem of a restaurant! Hidden in plain sight so to speak.. The staff are amazing! Friendly, caring and always smiling! The food is always fresh, flavourful and lots to chose from. Officially my new favourite place for a bite! When in St Catharines come check this gem out, you won t be disappointed.
This was a fluke. Searched up a breakfast spot this came up. And we were pleasantly surprised. Food was really good presentation was on point. Staff was really nice and accommodating. Will recommend.
I loved this place because I love breakfast. It has one of the cheapest breakfast specials around and serve real potatoes.
Its a good place for breakfast in downtown St Catharine downtown.
Love this place. Good food and price as well as fast and friendly service. Lots of vegetarian options I will for sure be back
Amazing breakfast my whole family enjoyed it. Great with children and awesome covid protocols.
Great breakfast!!!!!
A quiet place offering good value for money! Love to see the familiar faces working here.
favourite breakfast/lunch place of all time. cute little diner, the kindest staff, amazing prices & great comfort food. cant recommend this place enough.
Perfect poached eggs!!
The food is delicious and the staff are always really friendly.
Stumbled across here while waiting for some automotive repairs. The service was excellent and fast. The food was cooked properly and well priced. Paid under $10 for breakfast and coffee.
Nice place and great service!
A proper Western Sandwich..fluffy and dense and savory..a good cuppa... nice people who remeber your faves, run the place .....diner food
I love everything about this restaurant, its one of the oldies thats still around! Highly recommend this place for everyone
Always good. Classic diner fare in a classic diner. It literally hasnt changed since the 70s and Im 100% good with that. Friendly staff and prompt service are automatic. And I love that my kids love too! :)
Open you restaurant on Sundays... This makes no sense
Delicious fluffy pancakes. Perfect cup of tea - good strength with hot water from the boil.
Loved the coffee. Loved the food. Loved the service. Go here for a great breakfast
Always a pleasure to eat here. Good food at great prices. Friendly owners and great servers. We love it.
Went for breakfast... Was amazed by the service, food and price !!! Very happy and will be returning for lunch next time
Great homestyle breakfast place. Very comfortable atmosphere.
Best breakfast downtown st.catharines.
I go here often, They have been in business for atleast 50 years talking to the owner. Fantastic food/proportions. amazing hospitality and an absolute amazing breakfast.
Amazing fairly priced with a nice staff and wonderful decor. How could you miss this?
Foods always hot and fresh, decently seasoned and spiced, excellent portions for the price as well, settings cozy and classic has that 80s diner vibe
Good service good food
Classic greasy spoon diner, good breakfast!
Food is good, machines are quick now
Ive been here about a dozen times, and its always great. The food is fresh and is never greasy or burnt, and the prices are super reasonable for the good size portions that you get.
Gyro was great!
Great breakfasts in a comfortable setting
Great old-fashioned Family Restaurant senior citizen owner Works behind the stove and fires out perfect breakfast and typical Canadian and Greek fare gets it right all the time do to decades of experience would recommend if this is what youre looking for
The breakfast was good. Waitresses are very nice. Price was great. Only $10 for a nice breakfast
Yummy
Food was great as well as the service
I love this place - food is awesome and the atmosphere is too..have had a few items off the menu and no disappointments at all ! Highly Recommend .
Had the eggs benedict. The hollandaise sauce was very nice and clearly made from scratch however the eggs were not poached. I am not quite sure how they were done as they looked like the eggs you would get at McDonalds in little disks and they were not do e soft. To me running yoke in a poached soft egg is an important part of eggs benedict.
TLDR: Good, tasty, reliable breakfast food. Well not spectacular it is always a sastisfying start to a hungry morning. Sunset Restaurant was one of the first locations I ate at when I moved to St. Catharines and very little has changed in the time since. It has always remained that safe and predictable breakfast spot around the corner that is popular with families and always knows how to your eggs. Its a great spot to have a slow morning wake-up to with friendly staff, classic homestyle food, and a cup of tea to enjoy your morning too.
Good quality food at an affordable price.
Ordered chicken souvlaki and Greek salad. The chicken was extremely tender,&the feta on the salad had a very pleasant taste and texture . Quiet, family orientated atmosphere. 10/10 recommend
Ive eaten here several times, its become my go to place to eat when Im downtown st.catharines. Always hot and fresh food, and the people who run this restaurant are very friendly. I would definitely eat here again if Im ever in st.catharines again.
Ok meal.
Decent breakfast place with very fast service and open til 3pm in the afternoon lol
Great
Love this place. The owners are great and make awesome food.
The food is second to none and everyone is treated with respect and importance.
I have come here for years but.... I wont be back. Food is good but they charge you to you their debit machine. So they are making money and you are paying for the rental of the debit machine. So bring cash! Also my mom has a severe allergy we asked to sub a small salad and would pay a bit extra for her side. We were told salad costs more than the side and all we can give you is eggs. They would not even allow us to pay extra for a substitute. Poor customer service and accommodation by the owner for people who enjoy coming here and you refuse to accommodate happy regulars.All we got was a shrug of the shoulders.
First time diner. Had the Turkey Club and it was great. Will definitely be back again.
We always eat our breakfast here. Too bad they are close on Sundays.
Love their waitresses but their potatos are dry
We love their omlettes. Clean and shiny restaurant, friendly staff. The place has that old diner 50s feel to it.
Its like walking into grandmas kitchen for breakfast. Love this home vibe it still gives.
Great food lovely people. Thanks Stephanie!!
Good food good prices
I really enjoy this quiet breakfast joint. The prices are more than reasonable the portion sizes are amazing, and not only that the staff is friendly and always helpful with the menu. Right in the heart of downtown, this cozy breakfast restaurant will not disappoint
Quality food, decent price and good service
At first glance from the outside, Sunset restaurant did not seem remarkable, but dont let the modest exterior fool you, this is a wonderful little place. The food is cheap but delicious, the venue is spacious and there are a lot of windows that let light in and is overall a really cozy place. The owners are friendly, and they revealed that their restaurant has been open for 45 years. The menu seems diverse, you will find your traditional and standard fare here but will be surprised by a few unique entries (gyros omelette?? Yes, please!). I cannot recommend this place enough!
Steak & eggs breakfast, plus corn beef hash breakfast. Meals were good, large portions, we could not finish, had to take away.
Good food and service
