| - A meal at Kramer's is a bit like Russian Roulette.
Will the server be in a terrible mood? Will my food take half an hour or longer to be served? Or, will everything go smoothly?
Living in the neighbourhood, I have been to Kramer's for cheap nachos and a pitcher on game night, but mostly I'm there for the brunch.
The brunch menu is extensive and sure to please everyone. The prices reflect what you'd expect from the Yonge and Eglinton area, so even though the spot may look like a cheap bet, you'll be disappointed here. However, the value for your dollar is pretty good, on a good day.
The Eggs Jenny, a twist on eggs benedict where the english muffin is swapped for crab cakes is always great. The cakes change size and consistency, but never let us down.
The skillets are served piping hot, but the combination of fresh ingredients and unique combinations are typically a great choice. The basic breakfasts aren't anything out of the ordinary so I suggest spending a few extra bucks for their more unique options.
The coffee is terrible. There's just no getting around this, it's just bad, but I'm addicted to the stuff in general, so even bad coffee is better than no coffee at all.
Service can be spotty here. The servers on a good day are attentive, patient and pleasant. On a bad day they're huddled at the end of the bar and hard to approach. The good days do outnumber the bad days, but again, it's hit and miss.
While the restaurant is rarely full, the two patios are great for their location and on karaoke nights the place seems like the local bar it should be.
