  • I think 3 stars is pretty appropriate. It's an "A-OK" place. I have no idea how Yelpers here can say that anything there is "The best in Toronto". Or even the Junction/Bloor West. Let's be honest. It is a neighbourhood place for me, and I do go there once in a while due to convenience, price to portion size and service. And maybe nostalgic for some. I'll give it to them, the service is friendly. Really nice owners and workers. Old school diner service. Based on lunch specials for the students, proximity to the schools and ease of "hanging out", it gets busy during the week at lunch. I usually have the burger or sub. The burger tastes good as long as you pile on the fresh toppings and sauces. The subs are a better option then a Subway for sure. Try the Souvlaki sub, as that's my preferred one. Pair either with a Greek salad, and it's better. I tried the poutine once, and found it too salty. Probably the gravy. Fries are not my fave. They are the battered crispy store bought fries you can find at any grocery chain. With old diners, i would at least expect the fries to be made daily from freshly cut potatoes. It's one of the easiest/cheapest things to do. Especially if you have one of those french fry cutters. Tasted the pizza and I probably won't buy again. I am a bit picky about my burgers and pizza, and after tasting the best that Toronto has to offer of each, my standards are pretty high these days. It's traditional Greek diner food that excels at some things to be slightly above avg (Souvlaki Sub) to slightly below (fries/gravy/pizza) for me. It would deserve another half star if they made their fries from regular potatoes like most old school diners, and at least made burgers from freshly ground and never frozen chuck that was cooked on a flat top. I'd be happy to give it close to 4.5 stars just based on those two changes. And maybe another half star if they replaced their bread. If they had fresh egg buns, kaisers or sub bread, it would elevate all the food. Any case, I guess the formula is okay for them as people seem to be going. And I guess it keeps the lights on. So, i'll give it what it deserves, including occasional visits when I need a change from the better options in the neighbourhood. But I'm glad they are there instead of a huge franchise.
