Sunny Up All Day Breakfast

I had to rate this a five because the home fries are out of this world. My hubby and I are breakfast joint aficionados and, let me tell you, this is one we’ll be visiting again. We chose it for a change, after seeing the great reviews, and we’ll definitely be back — for breakfast and to try other meals as well. The staff give you a warm feeling and I believe they are all family. We love to support small family businesses. We’d strongly recommend breakfast at Sunny Up.

I cant say enough about Sunny Up. As a contractor, I visit many family restaurants and bars that are in the area of my job site. I have never written a review in my life. I have been working at the ‘May stone’ plaza on Kingston for about a week now. All of my crew just love this place, morning, noon and afternoon the meals are always perfect. The perfect portion for a hungry mason. Spring onions and little green peppers in the home fries, why didn’t I think of that? Bacon done perfect every time (Feels like someone in the kitchen really cares about the quality).
The chef and his wife are the SALT OF THE EARTH kind of people, and the waitresses are not bad on the eyes either.
As a hungry man I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Ive been everywhere and these folks fed me well. Very well. They are also LLBO. For a small cozy place there are a lot of tables and I notice a lot of repeat traffic going in and out everyday as we work outside. I feel that this place has been a diamond in the rough for a long time, but have a look at it now, the plaza is being transformed and Sunny Up is still serving up the same high quality grub.
If you don’t believe me check it out.
Tell the chef that the masons who did the stone columns outside sent you :)

In short terms, it’s that place you go the morning after… Whatever happened the night before. Nothing outstanding or terribly different from other breakfast places in the area. When a Sunset grill, and an Eggsmart are within walking distance it falls behind on the list of places to go when deciding where to eat. It’s a good place to kill time on your own, the food is good but again, nothing special. Definitely not a place for entertaining a group. The staff is small, which would normally be a problem for any restaurant, had the amount of employees not been reflective of the traffic so the speed of the service is about average.
The menu is pretty limited but includes most of not all of the breakfast restaurant staples (Bacon, eggs, pancakes etc…)
The food is typically cooked as expected but is slightly lacking in basic seasoning.
The atmosphere is a little drab and dull, especially for an all day breakfast. The seating, like most all day breakfast places is a mixture of tables and chairs as well as booths. The furniture in the restaurant seems slightly out of place, but then again, one doesn’t typically go to a restaurant to enjoy the seats.
To sum it up, not a bad place, but not a great place. If you’re hungry and need a quick breakfast fix, head on down to the sunset grill.

I’ve been here before and had a wonderful experience. This one was so far from it. It’s a bit awkward when you’re ignored by staff when you walk in for 3 minutes, especially as it was far from busy. Okay, fine, no big deal. I ordered from a very friendly waiter, steak and eggs. I asked for my steak rare, hoping to get a medium rare. The food came fairly quickly but the steak was completely well done. I immediately told the waiter who took it back no questions asked. Perfect. But then he showed up with my plate, sans steak. He said he didn’t want the potatoes to get cold and my steak will be 5 minutes??? Umm, thanks, but I didn’t come to eat potatoes. Then steak. Then bread. He was most insistent about leaving my half full plate for me to get started on. I hadn’t realized I was at my Mom’s house. I insisted and told the waiter to take it back. I was rude, for sure. When my food finally came back, my steak was overcooked again. Half of it was a fat cap. The eggs had a layer of oil on it that pooled in the middle. The waiter didn’t check in the entire time I ate, and never came back to give me coffee. I can’t blame the waiter. This place reeks of poor management. The couple waiters were left to their own devices. Their hearts are in the right place, but the owner is checked out. I WAS going to tell people to come here. I won’t anymore. The two stars are for the staff.

Was looking for a new breakfast place. This place is my new favourite.
Pros:
— Clean!!!, everything looks brand new. I think they just moved.
— Good breakfast menu with large amounts of food on the plate for under 10 $(even kids meal looked to be enough for an adult)
— Friendly staff
— Place is quiet since not that many know about it I guess (looks shady on the outside though)
Cons:
— Cold inside, outside temperature was –20° but that what heaters are for… Weird…but perhaps we visited too early in the morning.

We happened to be in the area and we saw the sign for all-​day breakfast. That was exactly what we were in the mood for, but when we saw the menu we were tempted more by the wonderful dishes on the menu. We didn’t wind up ordering breakfast. My husband ordered the butter chicken and it was prob the best butter chicken I’ve ever had! Great portion size. All made fresh. Lots of chicken. The service was excellent. The waitress was sweet and attentive. She even put a fresh pot of coffee on for us.
We went back a few weeks later and we both ordered the butter chicken. Again it was superb. We live in Etobicoke but it’s worth the drive.

Upon looking for a place in our West Hill area to do breakfast, we stumbled upon this little dive in a mostly closed up, run down strip plaza. It looked a little sketchy, but I make a habit of TRYING not to judge a book by its cover. The inside is quite small, maybe 10 tables and a bit cramped.
The Good
— The restaurant serves breakfast ALL DAY, which is always a nice find, especially for a shift worker.
— The menu was small, but nice. There are some lunch & supper options which sounded tasty albeit «greasy spoon» type of fare.
— The prices were quite reasonable. Today there were 5 of us — 4 adults, 1 child — the total bill was 39 dollars and we didn’t make an effort to eat cheaply.
— The homefries were wonderful, nicely seasoned with a touch of onion and green pepper for extra flavour.
— Sauteed spinach on the eggs benedict was also a nice touch, but did add $ 1.00 to the eggs benny price.
— Fruit is served on the side of all of the breakfasts, which was quite nice for a cheaply priced little hole in the wall.
— For those interested in alcohol, they are licensed under LLBO and have some basic beer/​wine choices on their menu. (I think it was either 3.50 or 4.00 for a bottle of brew)
The Bad
— THE SERVICE. It was horrid, horrid service. Had the service been different, I would have boosted my rating up by a star or 2. Now, since this was my first visit, I’m not sure if the horrible service is the norm, or if today was just an off day.
— Related to the service — the coffee wasn’t served to us UNTIL our meals were up (just ridiculous), they didn’t bring the toast until the end of the meal. The people I was eating with were saving their eggs for the toast to present, and by the time the toast arrived the eggs were completely cold. The waitress didn’t check back on us once, nor did she refill the water glasses. We had to flag her down to ask for both ketchup and syrup for my sons pancakes.
I’m really not too sure if I will ever be back…
