Sunbeam Grill is located in a plaza off Dundas next to Home Depot. It's relatively new and I spotted it while looking for the Smitty's that I subsequently remembered had been replaced by a Sleep Country a while ago. So what's the problem with Sunbeam.
Well to start with the food is not great; at least not the Hungryman Breakfast we shared which came with 3 eggs, 2 bacon strips, sausages, peameal bacon and 2 pancakes (or French Toast). The meats appeared to be cooked a few hours earlier and warmed. The pancakes came out 5 minutes after the rest of the meal and were crispy on the outside and uncooked on the inside.
It might be best to summarize what we thought were the pros and cons:
Pros
- Good parking
- Clean new interior
- Friendly (sit-anywhere-you-want) staff
- Comfortable chairs
Cons
- Temperature drops about 20 degrees each time the outside door opens
- Food is not fresh or well cooked (at least not ours)
- The mug (for my tea) smelled like a commercial dishwasher
- Toast (which we didn't know came with the meal) was slathered in butter
- Fruit salad tasted like it was scooped with a ladle used to scoop grill food
I'm sure this place will get better in time, but right now, I imagine they are going through some start-up issues.
