Sunset Grill

Just happened to stumble upon this place since it was right next to our hotel, I really enjoyed my breakfast here. I’m a simple girl and breakfast doesn’t have to be all fancy to be enjoyable. I had a waffle with eggs and it was just that simple, but rewarding. The waffle was hot and the batter was good with the Canadian maple syrup. Eggs were good as scrambled eggs can be. Everything came out hot and it tasted good which is what is important to me. I’d come back here.

This is an awesome breakfast to head to on a weekend morning! The place itself is very clean and organized!

Had breakfast here on a recent trip and enjoyed it. Pretty busy for early Sunday morning with friendly staff. Very tasty meal and would highly recommend it. Don’t order the glass of organge juice.. .$$$.

Came here for breakfast. Budget friendly place. They have a 3 eggs special for $ 4 and some change. I got the 3 eggs with sausage breakfast for $ 6.50. It came with toast and potato. The food was good. I also had the tourist minicard to get a free pancake with my meal. Even on a weekday at 11am, the place was pretty busy. My waiter was friendly. Refilled my water whenever it was low. Fun fact, wheat bread is called brown bread in Canada. Learn that when I came to this place.

The first time I came here was 2 years ago after running the Toronto Waterfront half marathon. The second time was this past weekend after I ran at the same race but a full marathon distance. I was tired, could barely walk, hungry and was a hot mess in all.
The pros about this Sunset Grill location was that it was very close to the finish line. It was en route to where I parked and I decided to fuel up here before I go home.
I remember it being really busy from my last visit. Luckily it wasn’t too busy as the bulk of the half marathon crowd were gone. We got seated right away by the entrance.
However the service wasn’t very friendly. I mean it was alright — but not «it made you feel like home» kind of friendliness. I wonder if it was my post-​run brain fog or it was a busy day for them. But if you were a visitor to the city running a world-​class marathon, it wouldn’t the type of service you deserve from Toronto. We could do better.
My mom ordered a 3 eggs breakfast. Our waitress asked if she wanted bacon, sausages, or ham on the side, then asked us if she wanted the Bacon and Eggs breakfast instead. C’mon she only wanted a 3 eggs breakfast! If she wanted bacon she would tell you otherwise.
I ordered the French Connection. The food was okay. The home fries were steamed and were very mushy. I like crispy home fries. The eggs were done right. I couldn’t stomach down the french toasts after stuffed with gels and gatorade on my run. Luckily they refilled my coffee often so I could keep myself warm.
Like other diners, you have to walk up to the front to pay. Hooray to have someone else with me because no way I could stand up and walk to the counter. Keep that in mind if you ever visit here after running long distance.

Service was quick and attentive, and the good was quite good. The pancakes are massive which was awesome!

I thoroughly enjoyed my poached eggs with smoked salmon. It was served on an English muffin, with Hollandaise sauce. My waiter was cheerful and friendly. My daughter had pancakes which were delicious as well. They didn’t offer her any maple syrup though — I thought that was odd. But, I would definitely eat here again. The food arrived hot and quickly, just the way I prefer!

Maybe we hit on a particularly bad day, but apart from our eggs, the food was dreadful, the home fries cold, tasteless and far too hard to bite through. I suspect they had been sitting in a pan for at least a couple of hours. The toast was equally bad and, really, how does a person ruin toast? It, too, was cold and hard and barely buttered. No love in this food prep at all. The one star, then, is shared between the eggs and the charming décor. But what a shame. We frequent the Sunset Grill up on Danforth at Coxwell and in all the times we have been there have never had anything but a delicious meal.

We had breakfast here thanks to a Unilocal review and we’re happy we did. The service was tops and the food came out within 10mins. Piping hot and good! Great stop for a family or anyone wanting a quality breakfast.

I had tried another sunset grill location and was disappointed. I wanted to give sunset grill another try and was disappointed again. Both time I had eggs Benedict and I had the most terribly blend eggs ever. While the food is not something I’d recommend there, the staff and service was good.

It’s hard to have anything bad to say about the food quality at any Sunset Grill location. Always spot-​on tasty and a good size for the price.
What I was disappointed in was the service at this location on my last visit. The moment we entered our server was not happy. If we are spending money on going out, we don’t want to feel unwanted and have to deal with an angry server.
I asked for a very simple substitution, as did my friend, the server was completely rude and replied with «I won’t do that». Not being able to substitute something is completely okay (although this substitution would have meant less cost and more money for them and was reasonable), but being rude about it was unacceptable. We were basically hurried out the whole time, despite it being dead inside and not busy.
Food came fast and warm, no complaints. Refills were brought okay.
Before I literally put the last bite of food in my mouth she scooped up my plate, saying nothing and bringing the bill. She would not reply to anything but simply go ahead on with it.
In short, this place would be perfect if they taught their servers (or this one in particular) that they need to throw a smile on, or maybe even ask if things are okay, not rush customers out (especially in a dead time).
And servers, you know your tip will be greatly higher if you just try not send attitude towards customers?

I can always rely on this chain for a tasty, well-​portioned, cheap breakfast with a good variety on the menu for whatever food-​mood I’m in that day.
The Yonge/​Richmond branch is really nice and was surprisingly busy for an early Sunday morning close to the financial district.
The service was very friendly and helpful and the food was as good and reliable as always. I had the three eggs, home fries and toast (which for some reason was cheaper than one egg, toast and salad?! Lol weird?) and my boyfriend had French Toast with real maple syrup. Both left us refreshed, full and happy as we headed to Union for a ten hour train ride.
Would definitely come back here.

I really like the friendly and efficient staff at this location. Typically I’ve never been in line to get a table with the exception of a few times over the last two years. They always have a weekend brunch special menu with some breakfast entrée and an included unlimited coffee or tea, which, for me, is a really good deal because I do spend a lot of money on coffee on weekdays. Their breakfast items are not the best I have had, but that isn’t to say it’s not fair for the price and still yummy. My favourites are the corned beef hash, the egg sunset (their version of eggs benedict). The portions are usually generous, with the exception of a few times where I felt I didn’t get as much food in my plate as during a prior visit.

C’était un très bon restaurant, j’ai pu avoir de la nourriture pour deux à moins de trente dollars et nous étions vraiment rasassies. Par contre, je pense que que l’on s’est fait avoir pour la portion qu’on a eu.
En effet, chez Cora j’ai le même déjeuner (3 oeufs, saucisse et bacon, 2 crepes) avec en plus des fruits et du pain pour a peu pres le même prix pour encore deux personnes.
La nourriture était bonne, mais les pommes de terre était un peu fade et pas super bien cuit. J’ai du rajouter du sel a deux reprises même si habituellement je n’en prends jamais…
Mais bon… A vous de juger a votre tour :-D

Pretty standard restaurant — I have been here twice and ordered breakfast food both times since they offer all day breakfast. This time I ordered a combo which came with sausage, eggs, french toast, and home fries. It was a LOT of food for only around $ 10. I have no complaints about any of my food, it was all cooked well. I also like that this place has the option of dark rye toast, since I am a fan. Service was also pleasant. If you happen to be in the area and looking for a quick bite at an affordable price, this place is not a bad option! It is a simple, no frills kind of restaurant, but given the price I would pick this place over Cora’s for breakfast.

I like having a diner in the Financial District (FiDi). I was seated at a cozy booth by the wall since I was dining alone I liked that they did that.
I ordered the Sunset pancakes. Comes with three 4″ pancakes ($ 5.99). She tried to upsell me on whipped cream and strawberries which sounded delicious, but I am watching my calories, and my wallet (just came from a stellar job interview).
She brought my coffee promptly and refilled it routinely throughout my stay.
Price was around 9 bones including tax for cakes and coffee, not a bad deal.

If you’re in the downtown core area and are looking for an affordable breakfast Sunset Grill is the place to go. I’m glad they serve breakfast all day because I usually wake up past 10:30 am lol.
We arrived for breakfast on a Sunday morning and were promptly seated. Last time I was here the wait was too long so I left. Good thing I got to try them out this time! Our server was friendly and took our drink orders first. We both ordered a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. It was about $ 3.50 a glass and it wasn’t a tall glass so I thought it was a bit overpriced. For our meal we both got either the bacon or sausage with three sunny side up eggs accompanied by toast and home fries. The food didn’t take too long to come out which was good because we were starving. Our meal was good but I prefer Cora’s home fries more.
The only negative thing from our visit was the time it took to get our bill and get the change back.

Another big chain with not much to offer. One star for our server as she was nice and friendly but our food was not the best.
The location is quite big and their are plenty of seats. But wow the food did not have taste as we struggle to finish breakfast the easy meal on the planet to eat. The eggs we not done the best and the potatoes were a disgrace. The best thing about the meal was toast with butter!
I will have to try another Sunset Grill location so see if this was a franchise issue or a hit and miss.

While my mom and I were wandering the streets of Toronto, breakfast sounded really good considering we were starving. So we came in here, we got seated right when we walked in. Right then I noticed how busy this place was on Tuesday afternoon around 1pm. This joint must have great food… I thought to myself. I have heard great things about Sunset Grill, despite all reviews I was reading on here. Meh, I’ll give this place a shot.
Our waiter came up to take our order right away when we got seated. I ordered the traditional breakfast containing 3 eggs scrambled, 3 strips of long bacon strips, home potatoes, and white toast. Along with what tasted like a freshly squeezed Orange juice. My mom got the exact same order but with ham. I think we waited about 10 mins before we got our order which was oddly fast considering how packed this place was. What I liked about my food was that I actually got long strips of bacon that was cooked right, they didn’t try to cheap me out on a couple of scrawny strips. My moms food was alright the ham tasted normal. Our potatoes weren’t mushy, thank God.
Here’s what I didn’t like, everybody here seemed a bit squished together. Maybe it was because it was busy or maybe their seating is a bit weird. Don’t be surprised if you get seated right beside an elderly man reading his news paper. Also what I didn’t like was that my waiter didn’t ask me if I wanted a small or large OJ. I guess he just assumed I wanted a large, it came to my surprise when I got charged 4 dollars for it on my bill. The food was great, no complaints there. However in my opinion I think some things on the menu are a little overpriced, and no matter how freshly squeezed an OJ may be I don’t think it’s worth paying almost 5 dollars w/​tax for it. For the price you are paying at the end of day, I would expect the food to be a little more over the top.

Home of the $ 3.99 breakfast. No, it doesn’t only come with ham, toast and jam. This came with 3 eggs, homestyle potatoes, 2 slices of toast and jam.
It’s only available Mon-​Fri at that price so if you want a quick and filling breakfast before work, Sunset Grill is where it’s at. Other breakfasts I’ve tried is the Eggs Florentine, which was around $ 6.89, which also came with homestyle fries and toast. Everything was terrific, –this place is a solid 3.5 /​5.

Nice spot on Yonge Street/​Richmond to pick up all day breakfast.
Came in about 10:30 in the morning, my friend wanted to order a beer but was told beer couldn’t be purchased until 11, she than began to ask the waitress every time she came by if it was 11 yet.
Speaking of the waitress, she was friendly and accommodating, service was good.
Food was good, basic breakfast fare but there were also non breakfast items. I had the 3 pancake dish, definitely enough, no need to get the 5 pancake option, 3 was more than enough to fill me up. Pancakes were fluffy and tasty.
Also had a side of sausage that was well cooked and delicious.
One friend had a burger that she thought was good and the other had the sunset sandwich special, that features Canadian bacon, egg and cheddar cheese, she too said it was delicious.
All in all a good meal at a low price, worth a visit if you’re in Toronto.
