| - After living in Brampton for some time now, I think I have scouted out most of the breakfast places in the area. After using my trusty Yelp app I happened upon John's Family Restaurant.
I remember a place called John's Family Restaurant up in the Caledon area. This happens to be the same place. Located in a strip mall in its own stand alone building, from what I remember used to be a fast food restaurant. The decor is upscale and casual, tables and booths with banquets fill the restaurant along with a small bar with seating as well. We sat ourselves and were quickly attended to. The service from first impressions is quite good, our server was friendly and approachable. The menu here varies from breakfast/lunch to dinner and it is quite different between both. On the breakfast menu there is the usual fare of breakfast items (french toast, eggs, bacon etc) and even some light lunch items. I did get to take a look at the dinner menu which varied from NY strip-loin to varied pastas and some excellent Greek/Mediterranean items.
Going off book and ordering something different for breakfast is not my wife's thing. Its always a BLT with fries, but the description for the meatball sandwich was too good to resist for my wife. Homemade meatballs and sauce with melted pizza mozzarella on a toasted bun sounded awesome. I ordered something called the "The French Connection" a very unassuming item...bacon eggs sausage and french toast.
The service here is quite good, just like at the beginning. Every time I needed something our server was in easy reach. Our food arrived in a timely manner, considering how busy the restaurant got while we were there. My wife's food came first and it looked amazing, our friend ordered a Greek burger which also looked delicious. My order came out next....Yikes!! Two full plates of food!! It looked like a full order of French toast and my order of eggs, bacon, homefries and sausage with a bowl of fruit to top it all off!! The food was excellent and the portion sizes are quite good. If your in the north part of Brampton and your looking for a great spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner..check out John's Family Restaurant...you won't be disappointed...5 stars
