Sunnyside Grill

Definitely not going back to this place. Over priced, poor service, and terrible food.
This place was nothing like what some of these reviews say. We got a table right away but we had to ask that it be cleaned and set. Three tables around us had not been cleared the whole time we were there and were left with garbage and food.
We ordered coffee and water and our food arrived before our drinks. Had to remind the server we ordered drinks. It wasn’t overly busy and the service was so slow. Not once did the server come back and ask if everything was ok or even refill our coffee and water.
As for the food. We both ordered the all day breakfast and it was horrible. The potatoes were not cooked and soaked in grease. The eggs were ok but so oily and greasy.

Great food. Great price. Was suspicious of reviews. Typical greasy spoon. Low in innovation. High on taste. Had the breakfast grilled cheese. Added mayo for moisture and swapped for scrambled. No problem with modifying. Great non-​formal service.

I came here with some friends after a fun night of dancing, in desperate need of some greasy nourishment to fill my grumbling belly. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much more than just your run-​of-​the-​mill greasy spoon, but I was wonderfully surprised. The place was fairly busy and there was a bit of a wait, however the host was well organized and attentive, keeping us continually updated. Once we did sit down, our server was friendly and efficient. I went with the delicious sounding tomato and feta omelette. The tomatoes were marinaded in a little bit of vinegar and some herbs, almost like bruschetta. It was delicious with the marinaded tomatoes balancing out the salty feta. Definitely keeping this idea in my back pocket! Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with my serve and food, and look forward to my next visit.

Ordered a chicken club sandwich with an egg and side order of fries. Nothing spectacular but no complaints either. Service was decent and pleasant.
I’d go there again but probably for breakfast this time around.

Visited for brunch at about 11 a.m. on June 12^th. I ordered the eggs Florentine. I got an over buttered rendition of a Hollandaise sauce and raw spinach with a side of burnt «home fries». Eggs Florentine is traditionally made with blanched spinach. After complaining, the waitress said, «that’s how we make ours». She offered to take it back but if I’ve learned anything from the media, it’s don’t send back your food! She then concluded with, let us know next time and we’ll grill the spinach. Uhhh… there won’t be a next time!

Omg The best breakfast place I ever been to.
I got something called the super. 3Eggs 3saugase 4 bacon stripes a big slice of cooked ham French fries never been fully in a breakfast place ever. Their O.j. and chocolate milk tasted great. So much cereals that I haven’t even seen in stores to choice from.
Overall great place to come sit and hang out.

Great and friendly service by all. Nice, clean and relaxed environment. Lots of yummy food with each serving. Will come back for sure!

My family was in town this weekend and wanted to go out for breakfast around 9 on Sunday morning. This is earlier than I would normally be up, but since my parents are early risers, I wasn’t going to argue. After my Mom looked at the menus of a couple of places that had generally positive reviews (she’s allergic to milk, so we like to make sure she has plenty of choices before going somewhere, more on that later), we settled on Sunnyside.
Our group of six was seated immediately upon entry, presumably due to the fact that it was still so early. It definitely got busier as time went on, although by the time we left (around 10:30), there were still some empty tables. The service was fast and friendly, and our coffee cups never sat empty for long. The food itself was delicious, and the portions were substantial — great value for the price! I ordered an omelette and I felt satisfied upon finishing it, a good sign considering my voracious appetite.
When my Mom notified our server about her allergy, she was told that they usually cook with some type of oil/​grease that contains dairy (I can’t remember the name of it), but the server indicated they’d have no trouble accommodating her restriction. When our food arrived, my Mom noticed that her meal wasn’t as hot as she would’ve liked, presumably due to the fact that the cooks prepared her plate in advance of the rest of us. I also noticed that other people, who were seated and ordered after us, received their food before we did. I’m not sure if this is considered a faux pas, but when I worked in a restaurant, we made absolutely sure to avoid doing this. If it weren’t for these two minor complaints (and moreso the first one), I might have given the place 5 stars, and if I could, I’d probably rate it 4.5 rather than 4.
I could definitely see myself returning, and won’t hesitate to recommend this spot to anyone else!

3.5 stars. Fast basic breakfast. Good value. Very kid-​friendly and cozy. $ 4.99 early bird special from 7−10am. Staff very attentive and friendly.
Had the «Light & Lively» bfast from the «healthy» menu. 1 egg, toasted bagel or english muffin & cup of yogurt with fruit. The egg (easy over) was PERFECT and english muffin was toasted perfectly as well (crisp all around yet soft and chewy in the middle). Yogurt & fruit was surprisingly disappointing. Tasted like artificially sweetened fruity yogurt with too-​sweet fruit in syrup ladled into it. Did not eat.
Hubby had the french toast. Light and tasty but served with fake syrup (not real maple syrup).
Despite the yogurt and fake syrup would definitely go back again for a quick cheap early morning bfast.

This place lives somewhere in between diner dive and fancy brunch spot, which for me is not the sweet spot. I much prefer it cheap and cheerful or gastro-​fabulous, but these breakfast spots definitely have their place in society, and we were hungry.
Three of us went for breakfast, and got the traditional breakfast combos: two meats, two eggs, toast and potato things, waffles and coffee and one fresh OJ and it came to a little over $ 40. Too steep for what it was, but still pretty tasty.
Lovely waitstaff, exposed brick and some breakfast. This place is probably a lot of peoples’ jam… and peanut butter. They have peanut butter in individual packets on the tables. Cool.

This is one of the best places you can have breakfast in the area. The portions are reasonable big and the price is good too. I’ve been there twice and the service is very good. Those two times that I went it was a Sunday morning and I had to wait about 30 minutes to be seated, so don’t go over there if you are starving!!!

Everything you look for in a great breakfast joint. Food is great, prices are too, and the staff are usually wonderful.

Completely mediocre. I was there on a Saturday at 12:30, it was fairly busy but we got a table right away. My major complaint with this place is the food is bland, under seasoned and just blah. I had the eggs Benny, English muffin was barely toasted so it became soggy. I requested soft poached, one was perfect and one was quite under, with a lot of the whites barely cooked. Hollandaise was ok, nothing exciting but not terrible. The potatoes were again just ok, but needed salt desperately. It looked like they had been cooked awhile ago, at some point they were crispy, but by the time the had got to me, they were steamed and soft. My son had scrambled eggs and sausage, the eggs were rubbery and the sausage had the same issue as the potatoes, crispy in another life, but soggy in this one.
If you’re in the neighbourhood and you want a proper breakfast, just go to Emma’s!

There’s an early bird special if you go before 930 (if I remember correctly) which gives you a handsome discount on the traditional breakfast (2 eggs, toast, potatoes, choice of bacon or sausage etc) The server was friendly and attentive and was always available to top up my coffee. If you want to reduce your carb intake they will replace your potatoes with tomatoes which go well with the meal.

I used to come to this restaurant about two years ago. I loved them! Fresh food, friendly service, excellent coffee.
I went there today and was not impressed. We waited about five minutes for a table, which we were fine with. They cleaned it quickly and we sat down. However, I noticed ants crawling on the corner of my table. They were babies, so this isn’t a serious problem in the restaurant, yet. I couldn’t get the attention of the waiter to get the table cleaned, so I killed then with a sugar packet and let it be.
We ordered coffee, which came quickly. Our cups were dirty, with clear stains on the sides. We waited about ten minutes for refills, which I find is normal.
We placed our order. The food came quickly, and was okay. I came with my sister and my friend.
My friend chose to create his own meal, which came on separate plates.
My sisters eggs were over cooked.
My food was okay. It was not very presentable, but was delicious.
All in all, it was an okay experience, but I’ve had better at other restaurants. If I had the choice, I would go to any of the over breakfast places on St. Clair.

Had breakfast here for the first time today. Nice little restaurant. Prices are reasonable, food was fantastic! Everything we ordered was perfect (even the bacon that I requested to be well done). Very friendly staff. We will definitely go back here again!

I dine here 1 or 2 times a week. I enjoy getting there for the early bird breakfast on weekdays. Traditional breakfast. Service is friendly and knowledgable. I have requested items not on the menu and they are accommodating (within reason). The coffee is hot and plentiful. As a vote of confidence I generally see 2 to 10 police enjoying breakfast.

Decent breakfasty food. Decent eggs, toast and bacon.

Excellent and friendly service! Nice clean restaurant, including the washrooms.
Tasty, freshly squeezed orange juice and a delicious breakfast menu. Home fried potatoes were VERY tasty and eggs were perfectly done!
Whenever I have sausages with breakfast, I want them to taste EXACTLY like the sausages at Sunnyside Grill.
There are other breakfast and brunch options within walking distance on St. Clair, but this is the one we’ll be going back to again and again.

A super pleasant place for a delicious breakfast.
The Hubster and I came here Sunday at 1pm (peak time for the partier set) and were pleased to find no line up, no pretension and a tasty tasty breakfast at decent prices.
I’m not kidding when I say this place is pleasant. It’s cozy, clean and yes. sunny. The service is very friendly and their orange juice is fresh-​squeezed. It’s also quiet, which is great for those who may have overdone it the night before. A standard breakfast (2 eggs, bacon/​sausage/​ham, toast, homefries) is about $ 9. Their home fries are crispy on the outside, soft and nicely spiced.
Despite Boom being down the street, this is going to be our go-​to breakfast spot in the neighbourhood. It’s just as good without the high prices and the lineup.
