Eggsmart

Went here on a busy Saturday morning and had to wait about 10 – 15 minutes for a seat. It gets to be pretty busy and noisy in here, so it’s not the best place for intimate conversation. I had the smoked salmon eggs benedict and it was pretty good. I wasn’t asked how I wanted my eggs to be done and they were not runny like I’m used to. Overall, sort of a «meh» experience and will only go here for brunch when absolutely starving. There are better places in the city for that kind of price!

Awesome breakfast spot, i love their omelette. I am very picky with the smell of egg in food and egg smart did a good job to satisfy me. I had Mediterranean omelette and it was great. I def recommend this place for brunch.

Service was not good at all, server seemed bored and uninterested in being here. The food came out really fast (under 5 minutes) but was just ok, my eggs were a little over cooked from what I asked, and my toast was barely buttered at all. However, I wasn’t expecting much out of this breakfast experience considering the low prices.

Awesome awesome breakfast spot. I am so happy I have one next to where I live and one where I work.

I’ve definitely tried better all-​day breakfast joints. The menu options are average, with nothing too exciting to offer. The serving sizes are good and service was average.
Theres noting much to say about this place but that if you have no other option and are dying of hunger and do not have any patience to search around for another restaurant, then go ahead to Eggsmart.

I think the food here is decent, nothing special. We had a really awesome waitress. One thing though was when our food arrived, we didn’t even have utensils. So I ended up taking utensils from an empty table. The bill was given to us while we were still eating because they were getting ready to clean up and close.

We arrived at around 2:00 for some brunch. I ordered the Peameal Eggs Benedict. My friend ordered the Blueberry pancakes with a side of sausage.
The waitress took our order when we were ready but forgot about the coffee and water, it wasn’t busy and everyone makes mistakes, but we had to order a second time. The food came very quickly which was awesome because we were famished.
The food was cooked to specifications and was good, as expected from a breakfast chain. The coffee was probably average to below average in strength and taste. The restaurant was warm. Homefries were decent, cooked adequately.
Overall I think the place deserves a 3.5 but I give it a four because although it doesn’t break the mold for breakfast restaurants it is perfectly adequate.

The montreal Benny is good. The Freshly squeezed orange juice is sour in winter and I suspect watered down by the store bought. The 1 litre is almost the same as two glasses. Very disappointing.

Yummy food and great service. If a waitress has ever been rude to you its probably because you’re being a dick.

This seems to be the only breakfast place on Yonge. The reason I start this review with that statement is because it was packed out the door when we showed up. Maybe it was because it was noon and a Sunday but none the less a little gem. The place itself is tiny but does have a nice patio (a little surprising for a breakfast bar).
The service was extremely rushed. I understand why but I don’t think their was a need to be so on the ball to the point as soon as we put our last bite in our mouth they were there clearing our plates. We ordered the BIG BREAKFAST to share. It came with 4 eggs, 2 strips of bacon, 2 sausage links, 2 pieces of ham, 2 slices of whole wheat toast, home fries and 2 pancakes. It was convenient that everything came in pairs which made it easy to share. We also ordered the 1 liter of fresh orange juice to enjoy. The entire meal was satisfying, tasty and fresh. I didn’t get the feeling that my meal was sitting under a heat lamp of any sort.
I would go back for sure. I just wish I didn’t feel so rushed. That was a turn off for me as I like to sit and enjoy my meal not feel like i’m taking too long.

Never seen a line for a chain. Lol. Only brunch place in the burbs? I was very surprised by how busy this restaurant was. But the breakfast was fine. Not great but not bad either. The potatoes were on the salty side, but I don’t mind salt. The service was quick and efficient, and the portions were good.

My experience was great. The service was good and fast. It took us 2 min to order and 10 min to get the food in a full packed Saturday morning. I got the meatlover omelette with home fries. It was good and well done. The price was reasonable too. I think I will go back there again.

At this point in time, this location is relatively new and in my honest opinion, it probably won’t have the chance to become «old».
Unfortunately, it is a little bias that since a friend and I were in a rush, the service would seem slower than if we were running on schedule. However, I did manage to keep track of an approximation of time because the service felt pretty outrageous. When we sat down with menus in hand and drink orders in place, it took about ~10−15 minutes to ASK someone to take our brunch order. I ordered the smoked salmon eggs benedict that I was really looking forward too because I didn’t want a meat heavy meal.
~20 minutes from ordering, my friend’s order of bacon & eggs came; which in reality should take only a few minutes to cook on their [hopefully] professional kitchen grade grill top. When my friend was halfway finished his meal (and he is a slow-​moderate skinny eater), I still haven’t received my meal. Becoming weary and famished, I tried flagging one of the very few waiters working that Saturday early/​mid afternoon (which is not an unpopular time for the type of food they are serving). I look around me and some people who came after us were served, people who sat before us were annoyed at either not getting their meal either or waiting 10+ minutes to pay. Prioritizing was clearly not in order at this restaurant and I could clearly see the waiters and supervisors/​managers scrambling to multitask orders but not their eggs (horribly corny pun intended).
A different waiter than the one who originally served us since we outlasted her shift, looked at me in the eye and came over to ask me how we were doing. I told her I did not receive my meal, and that’s when she finally told me they ran out of smoked salmon and were in the process of purchasing and transporting it to their restaurant, but the truck was stuck in Yonge weekend traffic. Had they told me this as soon as they found out, I would have gladly ordered something else — which is what I did after waiting almost 30 minutes for a meal that would probably never come. Instead of the smoked salmon, I got the ham — when it arrived my friend was done his meal and irritated since I too also eat slow.
My over-​easy eggs were severely under cooked and runny, that lacked any taste so I slathered it with fist fulls of ground pepper and ketchup. The ham tasted like pre-​sliced processed packaged ham from a grocery store and was pretty cold compared to the rest of my meal. Hollandaise sauce had the rich texture and feel but didn’t taste like anything at all really.
I did not walk into this place with high expectations since it is not known for their gourmet flavours and unique menu. However, in having a simple and classic breakfast/​brunch menu, orders should be flying out of the kitchen in perfect sequence and properly cooked. It’s unfortunate for the employees who work there. I could see that they have the best intentions and are trying their best to please customers, but I believe its the lack of solid management that caused everyone to scramble with service, cooking, and ultimately poor customer experiences.

3 tables around us had issues with their food and so did we. Eggs were way too raw even for over easy. They were happy to redo them but they were still awful — most of the egg white was still raw — the second time … how do you screw up fried eggs?! — sorry, that was mean.
Felt bad for the servers having to deal with so many unhappy customers but unfortunately, it appeared they were too busy and were getting orders wrong. They were nice and pleasant enough though.
Oh yeah, another couple was so fed up, they just got up and left when their food arrived.

mmmm not my best brunch/​breakfast for lunch experience.
they just opened few weeks ago right next to our office so we went there for lunch.
I love egg benedicts so I ordered a vegetarian option that was not on the menu (the menu in general is not super veg friendly)
for some reason they give you an option of having the eggs hard, medium or soft which I never experienced before in any of the brunch places. bennies just always come soft — otherwise they’re not bennies but hard boiled eggs on top of an english muffin,
the portion included only side of fries and two bennies with spinach. no slices of orange, no toast included. total of $ 9
the spinach somehow had very grassy taste. hollandaise sauce was too salty and flavorless… the whole food tasting experience was just blah.
on the other end the service was very nice and even though they confused my friend’s order the replacement came in in matter of seconds and she was charged less.
but I’m not going back for eggs… maybe will check pancakes or waffles.
