UFO Restaurant

UFO — It’s half way between a convenience store and an old school diner, run by hard working couple. Beyond lotto tickets and the occasional pop and chip run, not sure what else they sell though. I seen stuff on the shelf from the 90’s — no joke.
That said, they mostly sling out cheap diner grub like chicken souvlaki and homemade burgers. It’s a hell of a deal too, and surprisingly good! Want a dirty, nap inducing, new lunch spot to brag about with your startup buddies? Take them here.

Came here for breakfast so shopping would be bearable — I hate lines. Anyways, this place is a local greasy spoon, and its okay. Nothing special, but it’s a decent place to fuel up or beat down that hangover. The usual suspects prepared in decent time, the nice part is you don’t get scalped at the cash register. Don’t look for décor, ambience or anything fancy, this really is a hole in the wall, but at least you can resurrect yourself without having to suffer noisy kids or preppy customers.
Place is okay, but there are better places not far away, so I don’t think I’ll be back.

if you like shoe leather order steak on a bun. I remember when the cook was an older lady and she made good fish and chips but with the new cook things have went downhill. Order the eggs the way u want them and get them the way they give them to u. However there beef on a bun is pretty good.

Not fond of store but fantastic burger. Will have you full guaranteed. Then possibly comatose by 2 pm if you had it for lunch.

tip for everyone if you don’t want to see windex or dog food. just don’t go to the back tables. Other than that. summer time hang outside on the «patio» just a simple go to for breakfast. The Barn at 598 Queen St West another greasy spoon but no dog food or windex.

good diner fair. typical not overly creative. pop prices are ridiculous. food prices are quite reasonable… all day breKie available

Hands down, my favourite breakfast joint in Toronto. Not since Thornhills’ Midway (sold and turned into a Korean Pub), has there been a greasy spoon that’s gotten things this right. I’ve always been in search of my downtown greasy spoon and found it about a year ago. Whether you eat on the patio sitting in their plastic furniture, by the bar classic diner style or at a table beside the cleaning supplies… you will not be let down. Good eggs, delicious bacon and low prices. Not to mention, the owner is a gentleman and provides incredible service. My go to: 3 eggs over easy, home fries, bacon, brown toast and a side of sausage.

This place always relaxes me. Greasy spoon, moderately priced and even a little patio for the summer. Love the little stools inside and the clientele are always quiet and friendly.
Doesn’t hurt that it’s up the street from me, but I’m definitely glad it is and I’ll definitely be back again for breakfast.

Have been going here for years. A great greasy spoon.

Like other people have said, if your looking for a classy place to eat then this isn’t the place your looking for. If you want great home cooking, then it IS the place. I’ve been a frequent breakfast customer for about 15 years. There is a counter eating area and 1 large table and 1 small one. The whole place is a bit needing some renovations, but it gets the job done with great food. It gets quite busy at times with several city employees who also frequent the place. I enjoy the personal service from the current owner (Mr Lee) and the great comfort food from the chef (Momma) who was the previous owner. Great service-​food-​price can’t be beat. If you don’t mind sitting beside the sundry items like garbage bags and pet food this place is good to go.

UFO burger is like one of those guys who busks with a big drum on his back, a banjo and a trumpet all at the same time.
I was taken here by a work collogue who said they do amazing burgers and woah he was not kidding. Before I get to the burger I will set the scene.
This place is a convenience store and a café type dealio all in the one. Has a few patio chairs and tables outside along with seating at the actual counter. The place you can tell is a bit worn out but I guess it is just part of the experience. Especially if you know that you will get an ace burger at the end of it.
The menu is good, a few types of burger and side options, the old lady at the grill makes «home-​made’ style which is the only way.
The burger itself is pretty massive with a decent portion of fries on the side, I was not unable to finish it or keep it in one piece but it tasted great.
Plus I like the advantage of seeing my food prepared and cooked in front of me, that way I know nothing fell on the floor: D
I will soon be living not too far from here so it will for certain become my place to go for a quick burger bite for cheap.
Cheap = more good times on the night

3.5 stars.
Ever want to enjoy your breakfast special adjacent to the Windex aisle? Now’s your chance!
This is an odd place for a diner, though the concept of a lunch counter inside a «5 and Dime» (like Kresge’s or Woolworths) is quite traditional. This is a bit different, however, as UFO is mostly a large convenience-​style store, well off the beaten track on Niagara St. Face one way, and you get that lunch counter vibe… turn a few degrees and check out the vacuum cleaner bags.
That being said, the food was pretty good. Large eggs and tasty home fries complimented the above-​average coffee, and my bacon-​loving friends loved the bacon! The server was friendly and attentive.
Check out this unique, casual place. It’s worth a trip.

UFO used to be excellent. Now it is so-​so. You’d roll onto the counter seat and Zambia or «mama» would know your fave. It was always fresh and delicious. New owners though and she doesn’t work as often. It’s not got the freshness of old, but for a plate of fries and souvlaki with a cripsy iceburg salad and rice it’s great. Good Tatziki. Good toasted western and ample helpings of breakfasts at a very good price. My last crème cheese bagel was slathered in cheese, but the bagel was burned a bit. The prices are great. It’s a nice counter to have in the hood. I wouldn’t go outta’ my way anymore to eat there, but it’s good simple food, if the tomatoes aren’t the plumpest.
