This A & W gets more than the usual 3 stars because this restaurant is the best bang for the buck in all of Terminal 1 as far as breakfast goes.
When I fly out of the D gates at T1 I'm always going to have breakfast. Sure there's a lot of options at Pearson like Tim Horton's or any other sandwich stand or a full sit down place but if you just want breakfast and I"m talking about a real breakfast that is also sit down with a real plate, non plastic cutlery and coffee and juice that won't be more than 10 or 15 bucks this is the place.
They've just changed their menus and added an "All Canadian" breakfast which includes 2 eggs over easy, 2 slices of bacon, 2 sausage links, 2 slices of tomato, 2 slices of toast for 7 bucks before tax, drinks extra Good deal right? I'd say so.
You can pay at one of the machines before you actually get to the pick up spot but I never do as it's never that busy in the morning it seems. The turn around is fast and while the seating is very tight and half the seating is high bar or benches it's not that bad.
This is by far the best place to grab a real Ron Swanson approved breakfast in T1 for under 10 bucks...
