Pete’s Corner Grill

We were doing some holiday shopping in the Parkdale area and wanted to grab some food to fuel our retail therapy. We peeked inside Pete’s and it was pretty busy on a Sunday morning so that’s a good sign.
We were shown a table right away and everything looked good on the menu for breakfast standards to diner essentials. I initially wanted to order a corn beef sandwich but our server mentioned that they were currently sold out. She recommended the Montréal smoked meat sandwich ($ 7.99) and I added fries and salad on the side ($ 2.99). We also ordered a Banquet burger with fries ($ 10.99) and coffees.
My meat sandwich was surprisingly delish. The meat was soft and moist and the rye bread was extremely fresh. The burger did not disappoint — very juicy and flavourful.
Service was very friendly and efficient from a server who seemed genuinely delighted to meet our toddler (for a change).
An unexpectedly satisfying brunch at a place we’ve passed many times. Highly recommended over Easy, just down the block. Pete’s has no line, no attitude and no terrible food.

Good food, generous portions, great price.
I like the veggie burger. I get it with the combo. The salad is oily, so next time, I will ask them not to put oil on it, I’ll eat it plain.

Was here this morning for breakfast. Had the eggs Benny. Well priced and tasty. My husband and I enjoyed it.

This place feels like cheers. «Sometimes you wanna go where every body knows your naaaame». Very mellow atmosphere and quality food for fair pricing. I got a Canadian burger w cheese ham ketchup on it and it was fab. So juicy and delicious my mouth waters just thinking about it! The sweet potatoe fries where thick and flavourful and a great side sauces to too it off! Kinda a Divey feel, but super cozy. When needing quality diner food– this place hits the spot. Quality coffee, big plate of sweet potatoe fries and big burger for –15 after tax and tip… awesome! Main downfall is coffee is non refillable but they did let me take a to go cup which was nice!

Having gone by this place endless times, my friend suggested we go here for breakfast. Finally, here was my chance.
Any greasy spoon has a certain charm right? Not so polished, not so healthy in food or cleanliness. There’s a certain grime factor. This place somewhat surprised me.
I recall it had another name, Stavros but discovered it had recently undergone a massive renovation. All I have to say is, interesting decorative choice. It has this 80’s/90’s feel. It’s actually, not bad in there at all.
Ordering my breakfast of scrambled eggs and sausage with an americano. I was pleasantly surprised at all of it. The coffee was good and the breakfast/​grease ratio — not bad at all.
Totally, would go here again. Inexpensive neighbourhood joint!

If you want a classic all-​day breakfast spot, Pete’s is for you. No glitz or glam, just good ol’ fashion eggs and bacon. Such a good addition to a lazy parkdale day.

Love Pete’s! Go pretty much every weekend for breakfast. The early bird special can’t be beat! And even if you aren’t risen from the dead by 11am, it’s still dang cheap to get a good breakfast (recommend the rye toast and eggs over-​easy doused with Frank’s).
One guy on here says they charge for coffee refills, but that isn’t true, and the drip is pretty good to boot.
Perfect for locals looking for something quick and simple and good. I’ve never not had the breakfast but the lunch and dinner options — and the desserts! — all look real good too.
More than a greasy spoon, this place has a great energy and a team of super friendly servers who for regulars become like friends or even family. The guys behind the counter too are real nice and quick to welcome you and wish you well as you leave, belly pleasantly full and an likely a big smirk on your face.

A greasy spoon standard for breakfast.
The eggs benedict was decent. Prices are good. Service is fair.
Sadly, they charge for coffee refills.

It’s okay here, cheap and decent food Felt I had to leave a lacklustre review today because they treated me like I was invisible. But they definitely love their regulars, so invest some money here if you live in the area.

Was just walking by this place last weekend on the way to get a flat on my bike fixed. I liked the look of it, and was craving a greasy breakie, so we tried it.
So good. I had the mandatory 3 eggs and CRISPY bacon with rye toast and hashbrowns. Service was super friendly and the food was good. The only thing i might change is i quite like a pot of tea with my breakfast, not just a wee little cup. But that’s ok. If i was really bothered i could have just asked for a refill. But i was done my food so fast, it didn’t matter.
I’ll be coming here again :)

I stopped by this place yesterday for my first time. Service was great and burger was huge and tasty. I really enjoyed it with reasonable price. I would love to come back and try omelet next time.

Formerly «Stavros», this place has had a major reno, in both décor and menu. It is an improvement, and my 3 friends and I enjoyed our various breakfasts. It was a good, greasy spoon breakfast — just not quite as greasy as it used to be. The waitress was friendly and attentive. It’s not a destination, but if you’re in the hood…
