Eggsmart

The quality of the food was ok. Ordered 3 eggs sunny side up. They were over cooked a little. Peameal bacon was also overlooked and cut too thin in my option. The server though was super friendly so that made up for the food. It was what was expected.

Sat. May 30^th I went for the very first time. I ordered the Big Breakfast. It came quick and hot and there was so much food I could not finish it. It reminded me of how DayBreak at Church & Carlon used to be before they cut back on portion sized and really jacked their prices. If you are looking for a HUGE breakfast and not have to pay an excess amount I was wowed. Great service too and it was busy; they needed a busser there were only 2 waitresses and they handed it all well but they really could have used an extra set of hands to bus tables.

Worst breakfast. Unhygienic. I would not eat here again even if there was a zombie apocalypse.

What is lower than 1 star? Terrible! When I first walk in there was a lady and a man smoking outside the door. Instantly smoke went into my face. I walk in quickly. No one was there. I said «hello?» Someone behind me said «hi»… it was the lady smoking when I walked in. She was the waitress. Behind her walking in was the cook! Holy! What terrible service. Food was okay. Price is fine. I’ll go back if I don’t have to walk through smoke.

This place went from «a-​ok» to «avoid at all cost». We live in the neighbourhood, so whenever we craved for some omelette, we always went to Eggsmart. Our experience today, however, has completely changed our attitude towards this place. NEVER EVER WOULD WE EVER GO BACK TO PLACE, EVER AGAIN.
We’re seated by the window. I was about to put my bag on the ledge by the window when I spotted 2 dead flies. EWW. Made me wonder how often they actually clean this establishment. There were 2 servers on the floor, we’re served by the shorter girl with dark hair who was very nice and polite. We’ve seen her around, been served by her several times, her level of customer service has always been consistent. So I ignored the 2 dead flies by my legs… in the name of customer service. We got our food, I got an omelette and my boyfriend got a plate of french toast with sausages. We’re about ²⁄₃ into our food when my boyfriend found a fruit fly on his french toast. EWWWW… We told our server, she apologized and offered my boyfriend another plate of french toast, he politely declined (…because obviously, would you still have an appetite after you found a bug on your food?!?), she apologized again and took his plate away. A few minutes later, our server and the other server (a taller girl with brunette hair) came by to our table to point out that it wasn’t a fly on his french toast, it’s a small piece of burnt crumb. WTH. The other server was very adamant about it, even brought a piece of toast with burnt crumbs to prove her point. Again, WTH?!? It’s a friggin’ fruit fly! Deal with it. At least our server was on our side. She showed the other server that it’s indeed a fruit fly because it had wings. DUH?!? The other server looked extremely annoyed and let out a big sigh. REALLY LADY?!? She reluctantly offered my boyfriend a new plate of food. French Toast, pancakes, eggs, you name it. His answer was still NO… for obvious reasons.
When we paid, we didn’t even get a discount on his food. Instead, we got a $ 3 off coupon for our next meal. BIG WHOOP! :(We’re never going back to this place again. The taller server needs a lesson in customer service and this place needs to be turned upside down inside out for health and food safety.
AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST.

I went here for the first time today because it’s right around the corner from where I work.
I didn’t have very high expectations (or should I say eggspectations), but I was still disappointed.
Everything is really, really dirty. The walls are splattered with food and everything is greasy to the touch. After being led to my table and pulling out a chair, I saw that there was a wet splotch of food on it. The other chair doubly so.
The food is exactly what you would expect for a greasy spoon breakfast place, as is the service. I was welcomed and seated, but the waitress never came back over except to take the bowl of milks and creams on my table (without acknowledging me at all) to give to another table.
The biggest disappointment, however, was the lack of tiny jams. I don’t know if you have to ask for them or pay extra, but they’re not on the table where they usually are at breakfast joints. That in itself was –1 star for me, but I really like jam.

It’s not an above average breakfast. It’s below average. Quite frankly I can make the exact same breakfast better at home. What they made me was easy to make and it was not even made well.

We go here out of convenience due it’s close proximity to our home. The food is above average standard breakfast chain food. You are going to a chain and paying $ 7-​$ 14 a meal, what do you expect?
The servers are often stretched quite thin so in turn end up running around like crazy trying to get everything done. The clientele they have to deal with is often less than savoury given it’s close proximity to the «hood». Even so they are extremely friendly, they remember our name, our order, and are always awake, alert, attentive and friendly.
We keep returning because of the friendly staff, location and the consistent, to be expected, reasonably priced, standard breakfast food.

This was the worst experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant. I am hesitant to even give 1 star, but unfortunately that is the lowest one I can give. Service… did not exist.
I was charged for decaf coffee — which I never ordered. I had to ask 3 times for a glass of water. I ordered the grilled chicken salad, which quite literally ended up being a mountain of iceberg lettuce, 4 thin slices of tomato and 2 slices of cucumber with 7 tiny strips of processed chicken that was ice cold.
The salad didn’t come with dressing which I had to ask for. It turned out to be a $ 10 head of lettuce. I ended going to the Shopper’s next door to get a frozen pizza. Ive never left a restaurant without tipping before. Will be avoiding eggsmart from now on.

I’ve returned a few more times since my last review– and I have to say it was the exact same each time.
Consistent service, crappy coffee, yummy freshly squeezed juice and a typical greasy breakfast.
It’s Eggsmart– if you’re looking for a mom and pop restaurant you’re in the wrong place. But it’s similar to what you’d expect from a golden griddle– only way less terrible.
It is what it is– give it a try.

Steps from the Sherbourne subway station and directly across from a Tim Hortons, this quick-​stop breakfast place will cost you twice as much as Tim Hortons but give you as much in return.
I’ve been here a few times and I recommend it. But, make sure that your expectations are aligned before you pass judgement.
You’re in for a quick «breakfast special» meal. The greasy spoon without the grease, this place does a great job of cooking eggs, bacon and toast. The coffee is good and the refills are free. Don’t expect anything more than that and you’re in the right place.
The service is hit-​and-​miss, but remember, you’re paying under $ 10 for a meal. I often get up to find my own condiments, but the service has always been surprisingly fast with coffee refills. If you have cash in your pocket, checkout will be fast.

Went for breakfast this morning since we had some overnight guests. Ordered 4 different things (Eggsmart Classic Breakfast with Bacon, Strawberry & Banana Pancakes, French Toast, and an Open Faced Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese) and we were all impressed with the portions and quality of our order!
The server was very friendly, efficient and attentive. The restaurant was clean, and well-​lit. Will not hesitate to return!

Service was a sweet young lady, got lots of coffee refills, and the coffee was good enough to drink black. The prices looked a bit high but the plates were pretty big portions. Nothing fancy, but in a convenient location.

2.5 stars, but not good enough to warrant the full 3^rd.
Tried this place twice for lunch. First time went with the Cubano sandwich with home fries and it was decent. Didn’t knock my socks off but was good enough for $ 8.99 that I decided to return again for another lunch a while later. This time I went with the banquet burger (aka burger with cheese and bacon) with french fries.
That is one crappy hamburger. Poor tasting beef and over cooked french fries… And perhaps my fault for not ordering without onions but they are actually fried onions and way too many of them which just killed any last chance of enjoyment I would have had without, but the reality is that even without onions this meal was a dealbreaker from me returning, unless perhaps for some straight up breakfast.

This place is fine for what it is. They have some standard breakfast meals. Nothing fancy, just straightforward options. They’re pretty quick to get your meal out to you and are prompt.
They’re open early so you can pop in before work if needed and also have some take-​out friendly menu items if you don’t have time to take a seat.

Was there for the second time last week-​end, and the service was once again rather terrible. They forgot my guest’s request for spicy ketchup so after her potatoes got cold, she asked for it again and got it at that point. The server took a while to drop off the bill to the table, and then when she did she never picked up my credit card so we went to pay at the front, where there seemed to be some confusion as our server had accidentally already closed our table.
The food there is decent, but 2 out of 2 times the service has been very bad. Mind you it was the same server who helped us both times, so we haven’t had much of an opportunity to see how the others were, but it’s enough to know we’re not returning there for breakfast/​brunch.

Went today for a third time to see. First time was ok, second time a customer was having a loud argument with the manager.
Today it was crowded, waited about 10 minutes for a table. Table was covered in pancake syrup, menu was stuck to it. When the waitress brought my food, I had to ask again to clean the table. The potatoes and scrambled eggs were cold. The eggs were over cooked and tough. I can only imagine they cooked them ahead to keep up with the crowd. Nobody came around to ask if I wanted more coffee or anything else.
I had to go up to the waitress to get water and butter for pancakes.
This is a shame as there is nothing any where close that serves breakfast.
