Canyon Grill

Love the food and staff at the Canyon! I especially love their beef dip and breakfast special! You get so much for such a good price. They are always making sure you have something to drink and the food is ready in a reasonable amount of time!

As a regular customer of the Canyon Grill I was disappointed when the waitress messed up the order causing someone in my party’s food to come way after everyone else was done eating then she refused to discount the food or provide any reimbursement for the meal saying «(she) didn’t hear him right». Exceptionally poor service on her part. The service isn’t always the greatest, but the prices are half decent for very basic food. Meal portions are mediocre. The only thing that keeps me coming back is convenience.

Basic breakfast choices. The food came out quick and hot. Prices are reasonable. I would come back.

Went to canyon grill yesterday. Was not pleased with the service or the food. With the service it felt like we were being rushed and an Inconvenience to our server.
It was not very busy in this place when we went and we were quick to be seated. Granted I’m sure my mom confused the waitress with her order, but she did make one thing clear hot beef with fries (waitress even came to double check) food arrived my mom got hot beef with mash potato. Not even close.
My sister ordered the beef dip sandwich with fries. Got what she wanted, but the beef in the sandwich looked more like beef jerky being over cooked. She is not a complainer, but she did bring it to the waitresses attention of how over cooked the beef was. Waitress didn’t seem happy and rushed off with the plate to get it fixed.
Lastly I ordered just simple chicken fingers with fries and a side of gravy. Ew. Chicken good, gravy gross, fries are small and thin but decent.
For drinks they got pop I got chocolate milk. Apparently that means I get a smaller glass even though there is no small or large option. I was done my drink by time food arrived and nearly had to chase the waitress down to get a glass of water which also came in a small cup. Am I a child? No I’m a pregnant woman I’d like a decent sized glass like everyone else.
All in all I don’t want to go back and I won’t be suggesting it to anyone I know or meet. It felt like we were such an inconvenience being there that we felt uncomfortable. No wonder the place was so empty during supper time.

Good Breakfast, decent priced under $ 10 specials for a basic breakfast of eggs, toast, hashbrowns (meatless) or (with meat) with your choices of bacon, ham or sausage. Both under $ 10. Perfect portions of meals, not to much and not too little with quick delivery.

I like their breakfast. Simple breakfast. Eggs toast bacon. Cooked to order. Its fast and its pretty decent priced. I always leave satisfied. Nice to have breakfast options for less than $ 10 with tip in the northside.

They charge for pop refills… enough said!!!

No frills, nothing fancy, unique or original. Just food.
I’ve been going to the Canyon Grill (better known as ‘The Roz’ to those of us in the KNOW) for breakfast off and on for a decade now. The place is normal and free of the hipster pretension that is plaguing the restaurant scene now. I blame the Food Network…
Like I said, I’ve only ever gone to the place in the mornings so I can’t comment on lunch or supper. There is sometimes a line outside the door to get in to the place, usually because it’s full of soldiers that have decided to eat instead of exercise. The line isn’t because there aren’t any available tables, it’s because they don’t have enough staff in the mornings to clear the tables and greet new customers and seat them. Be prepared for a needless wait.
They’ve got all of the morning staples on their breakfast menu that you would expect; eggs, bacon, coffee, toast, pancakes with berries (or without), coffee, ham, coffee, omelettes, and coffee. It‘s totally ordinary, predictable, safe, harmless, blah, blah, blah. This is the place that you would take your grandparents to if they were visiting from out of town and you wanted to go somewhere that wouldn’t shock your elders with an «out there» menu and where there wouldn’t be any panhandlers hanging around.
This isn’t the trendy sort of Thai/​Zimbabwean/​Antarctican fusion with turquoise walls and their own newsletter. The Canyon Grill won’t be visited by any short round guys with white spiky hair and his sunglasses behind his head. But that’s okay.
If you’re paying by debit you will have to get up and walk to the counter. Annoying. They haven’t gone wireless at the Canyon yet. Not that your grandparents will be paying by debit anyway. These electronic transactions and these bank cards are a fad anyhow. They only exist to steal your money and track your movements so the government will always know where you are. Your grandparents know it and the staff of the Roz know it.
Did I mention they serve coffee?
Update:
So I’m back at the Roz again for breakfast. They charge $ 2.25 for a cup of coffee. The coffee is bottomless and they leave the pot on the table so you can top up whenever you get low. Suddenly a waitress (she wasn’t even our server) comes out of nowhere and just grabs the pot from our table and brings it to another table where a couple had just been seated. This was almost comical. She was too lazy to go to the kitchen and get another pot. She just swipes it from us and gives it to somebody else? The coffee isn’t bottomless anymore if they take the pot away from you. They still charged the $ 2.25 though.

I work near by so have eaten here quite regularly, breakfasts are very good as are the pizza. Only criticism I would have is that in the 15 years I have eaten at this restaurant is that the menu hasn’t changed. Time for some new items.

Ordered the vegetarian pizza.
Crust is thin to medium thickness. Sauce is practically non-​existant and flavorless. Vegetable toppings are scarce. Cheese is sparingly used.
I think this is the worst pizza I’ve ever had in the city. Boston Pizza is gourmet comparatively. Orlando’s Bar is ten times better. Even Royal Pizza is better. There are better pizza places on the north-​side. Avoid Canyon Grill at all costs.

Blech… it was sustenance at least. We stayed at the Rosslin so we ate here in the mornings.
The first day I had the french toast… yeah that was 4 pieces of texas toast on a plate that were dregged in scrambled egg and fried. Yucky greasey icky. Nothing on the plate except for those sad pieces of toast on a plate. Bf’s omelett had cheeze (yes that’s cheese with a z… ie lame crazy icky fake cheese).
This mornings breakfast was better. Bf had pancakes which were your basic pancakes. Mine was ordered off the sides menu… oatmeal, and a side of bacon. The side of bacon was meh ok, pretty rubbery… the oatmeal was yoru basic oatmeal and it was a big portion so I was happy to leave full.
Our waitress the first day was grumpy and rude, second day pretty nice. Guess it depends on which day of the week you go.

Don’t drink the coffee. That’s the only thing I can criticize about this place.
I had the special which was Chicken Cordon Bleu today. I was a bit surprised that it was covered with a beef mushroom gravy as were the mashed potatoes. It tasted good. It came with a starter salad which was very fresh and crispy. I was very pleased.
There were a few other tables occupied — a pretty slow night. The service was prompt and the food came pretty fast as well. I wasn’t given the opportunity to order dessert — which I was actually considering. The restaurant had a nice, homey feel.
It’s located inside the Rosslyn Inn.
