Awesome place, first time going and will be back. The impossible burger is fantastic especially with the Tomato Jam that counters the saltiness of the burger itself. Fries were 10/5, absolutely amazing. Also recommend getting the Garlic Aioli dip with them. A bit on the pricey side, but the food is tasty, fresh, and a great American diner style

First, I would like to say that I understand that the lease is expensive but 20 bucks without a drink? Little too much I feel. Back to business, good burger but please add more seasoning to the patties... awesome garlic and Chipotle sauces.

They make a really good Philly cheese steak👌 and it’s halal!

I tried their Philly cheese steaks and fries combo. I asked for well done fries to be crispy and it was on point. I really liked their fries. The cheesesteak is very decent, however i think there is more work needed for it. 1) the meat needs more seasoning specifically paprika, onion powder, garlic salt, and other spices to give it a little more flavor. We can also try to put some more woshchire sauce on the meat can work. They will need to experiment as for me what makes the cheesesteak stand out is the meat and for me the meat didnt stand out to be the star of the show. 2) the bread needs to hold, changing the bread to a French bread that is toasted will really hold well. Overall the sandwich is good but i do think that there is room for improvement. Toasting the bread with mayo internally will also help it not get soggy. Decent but i do think they need to work on the meat. Ill give this place a go and will come back for the fries but if they improve the cheesesteak to a top notch quality they can really have a staple sandwich in toronto.

As a chef finding a really great burger that has flavor, appearance, fresh and juicy is quite hard to find. Well this places burgers are amazing. Price is a little higher but the quality is spot on. This is my second time here and was not disappointed the second time either.

The food was pricey at $18 for a ''combo'' (drinks are extra). The onion rings were great (really crispy). The burger itself was good too but I ordered a cheeseburger that didn't include cheese? I really liked the onions and sauces in it though.

Should be 3.5/5 The taste and the flavours of the sandwich are amazing. The quality of steak also looked good. The bun is soaked through on the bottom making it challenging to eat. They need to get a heartier roll. The $19 price tag(includes fries or onion rings) is pushing it. Is it worth it? Cheesesteaks I’m this city are hard to find, so it’s worth checking out. But Illstyle & Philthy Phillys prolly a better bang for your buck.

The philly cheesesteak was amazing, especially the cheddar which had a smokey flavor to it. Would definitely order it again as the portions and flavors in general were pretty good. Only thing i would complain about is the price which is $20 for a cheesesteak! Flavor is 9/10 and portion is 9/10.

The red eye burger was too salty for me and hurt my tongue. The gravy for dipping the fries helped reduce the saltiness (I would usually expect the fries to be saltier than the burger).

Ordered the poutine...fries were a bit crispy but were still great tasting. Gravy was tasty and there was pleanty of cheese . The young man working was very courteous and was a nice change to some other places.

Pretty good, better than I expected. Onion rings were perfect. Overpriced but its Toronto so no surprise. The sketchy hallway atmosphere was really what did it for me. Its amazing.

I have a lot of dietary restrictions and today I went to Red Eye Diner craving a good burger - my goodness am I ever happy I did! The food was not only incredibly fresh, but the service was outstanding. The meal they made me is not something normally on the menu but the folks working were happy to help me (which I sincerely appreciated). Will definitely be back and thank you so much for a delicious burger and wonderful experience.

Tasty and the service was great! You can tell they care about what they do

Don t bother coming here. For the price that you pay and the amount of food they provide, it s ridiculous.

The atmosphere is great..but not because of the restaurant. The service was insanely slow, not worth a 30 min wait for 1 burnt 20$ burger with fries. Not a good burger. Wasted my money unfortunately. Will not go back

Deciding between 2 and 3 stars, but I ll just round it up. Would give a 2.5. Food was very average and smaller portions than expected at an above-average price. Would not recommend the disco fries nor the cheesesteak.

Guys, do you recognize this chef-inspired marvel Apple Pie a La Mode from your menu? Definitely don t overdo it next time.
