Sunset Grill

Awful. No other word aptly describes this place. How hard is it to make a decent grilled cheese sandwich? Slapping melted cheese in between two pieces of toast is not grilled cheese. And the eggs Benedict… Yuck.

This is that type of place where you want to come during the morning on a weekday. The waitress who works in the morning is so polite and so amazing at her job. The food is cheap if you stick to the specials for breakfast ($ 3.99 for 3 eggs, toast and potatoes or add an extra $ 2 if you want bacon or sausage). Worth it since it’s fresh to order and tastes great. Stay away on weekends. It gets packed in there and food quality decreases a bit due to busyness.

Left after being ignored by staff. Waited 15 mins didn’t get offered any coffee. Watched 3 staff members clear a table beside us while we got zero service. It’s a shame because it was great in a pinch for a greasy breakfast. Won’t be coming back.

Thought this food was gonna be mediocre but you know somethin’? It wasn’t.
Don’t get me wrong now; you’re gonna forget you even ate there afterwords. Nothing game changing going on at this establishment. But you get BIG pancakes. I ordered the strawberry supreme and like, DON’T order that. It tasted good but who really needs 5 big pancakes? Get three. And you better get some fruits and some topping cuz if you’re dealing with just syrup, you’re gonna taste the the no name quality batter that they use. Also, they put the toppings on the side cuz it’s just not enough too cover all 5 pancakes; that’s how they trick you!
You can watch the chefs cook your food, which is a good thing… I think. I didn’t get bacon, but if I did, I wouldn’t care for seeing it wrapped in some weird towel until I ordered it… I know that’s to absorb the grease but EW. I also don’t care for food service workers NOT wearing hairnets and handling my food with their bare hands… I don’t care how clean people think they are; get gloves. It’s all fun and games till somebody pulls a hair outta their mouth.
Wont be back cuz Starving Artist is right around the corner but… 4 Stars!!!

Great place to grab a quick breakfast before work. Have visited Sunset Grill half a dozen times in the last year.
Coffee is great and the servers make sure to keep your cup topped up. The menu is simple and straightforward — nothing fancy, which is perfect. The price is right — two can easily have breakfast for under $ 15. I’ve ordered a few different things from the menu and have never been disappointed, the portions are generous and the food is decent. I also love that they have a «light» menu — if you don’t want to fill up on fries first thing in the morning, swap for a bowl of fresh fruit.
Unlike other reviewers, I have never had a problem with waiting for a seat. Same goes for the service: maybe it’s not the warmest I’ve experienced, but the staff are anything but rude.
Will visit again.

Just ordered take out from there and got the chocolate chip pancakes with a side of fresh strawberries. I paid for strawberries but didn’t get any and only three out of five pancakes had chocolate chips. FAIL!

Every now and then a big chain can replicate the joys of a greasy spoon. This place is one of the best at that.
Now — if you get their early bird special, you’re looking for a good cheap meal. If you’re there later on, look to pay about 11 bucks a plate. That’s not too too bad, to be sure, and many of the Torontonians see that as an acceptable breakfast price — sadly I remember the days where five dollars, after tax and tip, got you a meal of eggs, bacon, hashbrown, and toast. But that’s when they had bees on their nickels, or some such nonsense.
If you don’t feel like cooking, and you’re close by, it’s not a disappointment.

Came here because good fork had a half an hour wait and I was short on time. Mediocre breakfast, nothing special. Inattentive staff. Stood in the doorway watching the servers have a conversation for a good 5 minutes before I was acknowledged and seated. There’s also the lingering smell of burnt food because of the open kitchen which can be unpleasant.

Delicious

Sept 4^th were there. Walked out after being treated so rudely by a blond waitress. She was rude to everyone, too bad this will be our last, never again.

Horrible service. On more than one occasion we’ve been ignored for 15 or more minutes, and when we finally get someone’s attention they argued with each other «they’re not my table. They’re not my table.»
Today after waiting 10 minutes for a hello… I waved to get a waitresses attention she just smiled, winked, and continued to ignore us.
Maybe it’s because we had a baby with us — either way we felt like dirt. Will never go back.

Classic cheap neighbourhood breakfast joint. Cheap prices, big portions, and just the regular breakfast classics on the menu-​nothing unique. Everything is fairly mediocre and it’s not a place you travel for, it’s more of an ‘in the area, hungry and broke’ spot. But overall not bad. They do breakfast classics decently well. Crème de la crème is quite close though and much better.

great breakfast, excellent service
not happy about paying for parking
food is worth it though

I would say this is more of a 3.6 star rating. I went here one day by myself and it was really busy. I was situated somewhere near the back. I did enjoy my meal here (I ordered a sandwich with some salad) and it was great.
The service was a bit slow, but I didn’t mind because I understood that it was really busy and it could get overwhelming. Whenever I did get service, the waitress was really friendly, but so were the other staff members, so that also can compensate the slightly slow service. My order came by really quickly, which was amazing considering how busy it was. I ordered and within 10 – 15 minutes, I got my order. Amazing!

Great place for good old greasy spoon grub! It’s the remedy for the morning after an entertaining and long night. Love the eggs benedict!

Just simple old fashioned breakfast-​and cheap! It tastes great except for the home fries! Bland and burnt. Why can’t they add something like Montréal steak spice? Or onions and lemon?

I love this place, it’s cheap and cheerful. The service is friendly, fast and efficient.
Never had a problem being seated within 10 minutes even on a busy weekend. My only complaint would be that when sitting inside, I always come out smelling like bacon grease… though I’m sure that is a very sexy scent to my husband, I would love if there was better ventilation.

This is my go-​to breakfast restaurant. The place isn’t exactly the cleanest, i don’t really like touching the menu and ketchup bottles cause they’re oily. Crowded and could use a renovation, but i guess they like the «old» look.
Food is marvellous! Staff are alright… 3/​5, nothing special. Avoid getting seated in the back, the server that serves there isn’t really friendly, i like the front tables.
Overall, food is good, decently priced.
Service is meh
cleanliness is meh
I only keep coming back for the food!

I met three friends here this a.m., and we all had typical, solid, Sunset Grill breakfasts. Well prepared and plenty of it. The standard breakfast included 3 eggs, thick-​cut toast, voluminous home fries and tons of bacon (for those who’s ordered it).Our waitress was very friendly and attentive as well.
Hard to go wrong here.

Now I consider myself a breakfast expert, because I love Breakfast!
I mean I got super excited when I found out that you could have breakfast any time of day in North America.
I’ve also always considered Bloor West a great «filled with people» street. I found my experience here very blahhh. On a weekday morning around 10am I am mostly looking for coffee and protein or carbs with syrup.
What bugged me the most about this place was the constant loud complaints between staff members about non present staff members. Add that to an already bland breakfast gives this place a pass.

Der Sunset Grill in Toronto ist eine super Adresse, um selbst zu den ungewöhnlichsten Uhrzeiten lecker zu frühstücken! Das All-​Day-​Breakfast kann auch wirklich so verstanden werden, man kann selbst mit einem ordentlichen Jetlag bei angebrochener Dunkelheit noch wunderbar frühstücken ;-).
Das Angebot lässt keine Wünsche offen, beim Lesen der Speisekarte läuft einem schon das Wasser im Munde zusammen! Die tollen Omeletts mit verschiedenen frischen Zutaten sind schwer zu empfehlen, es können jedoch auch Eigenkreationen ganz nach persönlichem Geschmack bestellt werden.
Auch das Herz der Süßspeisenfans schlägt höher. Waffeln und Pancakes in allen Variationen mit frischen Früchten oder Honig. Kaum etwas, das es nicht gibt! Die Preise sind für die Stadt durchschnittlich.
Für uns in Toronto die erste Adresse, um lecker zu frühstücken. Wir waren nicht nur einmal im Sunset Grill! :-)
