Steve’s Restaurant North

After googling breakfast in Vaughan this was number 1 and we decided to try.
Our first impression was good, everything is updated and stylish in the restaurant and the service was quick.
My son ordered the kids pancake which was ‘jumbo’ (not really that jumbo as my 4 year old finished off the entire thing with no trouble) and came with no side and cost 4.99! I was put off by the price because kids meals either come with something or are more reasonably priced, however he ate it with no complaints.
My husband ordered the big breakfast with bacon, peameal, sausage eggs toast and a pancake. He was by no means blown away but he was satisfied enough. He did not care for the hashbrowns and was surprised that there was only one of each meat, but overall a breakfast that you could get just about anywhere.
I got the eggs Benedict and was pleasantly surprised! The hollandaise was some of the best I’ve had and that is saying something considering that eggs Benny is always my breakfast go to.
The hollandaise sauce was perfectly seasoned, there was plenty and the eggs were on Pointe.
Overall, I was disappointed with the kids meal and my husband wasn’t blown away by his meal but my eggs benny was hit out of the park.
I don’t know if we’ll be back because of the distance traveled to get there, but if there are any eggs benny lovers out there like me, this is a great spot!

Nice environment, nice staff but low quality food. Omelet had the egg smell, egg Benedict’s sauce was not good.

This diner is right opposite to Wimpy’s yet I have never noticed them. I guess it’s because they don’t have flashy lights and a life size Betty Boop greeter.
I ordered Salmon Benedict (picture below). Very delicious. Eggs made just right and covered in creamy hollandaise sauce. Slit it open and watch that egg yolk spilling. Salmon was tasty, sitting on a well toasted English muffin. Hash Browns were alright, nothing special though. My friend ordered the sausage & egg breakfast and it looked meh. I suggest that you stick to Benedict.
Spacey, clean diner. Great service. All day breakfast, perfect for night owls. Check it out if you are in the area.

Please people! Post only honest reviews! I read positive feedbacks here so I convinced my hubby to have an early morning breakfast at this place. The menu special looks good. Two eggs and bacon for $ 6.75 and Steve’s egg Benedict for $ 9.99 includes coffee. Yes, I ordered the eggs Benedict. Btw if you come in after 11am, the price of eggs Benedict is $ 13.99. Grand slam is $ 12.99 coffee is extra charge. True, we waited for awhile and I thought, it must be real good for the wait.
Food arrived and bummer! Eggs Benedict came in soaking with hollandaise sauce as if the whole pot was poured over the two eggs. The bottom English muffin was soaked on sauce. I had to scrape off the thick salty sauce just to eat the eggs with mushrooms etc. forget about eating the wet burnt bottom bread. Disgusting! The home fries were cold and mushy. Waitress told me that’s how they serve their home fries cold and mushy not crispy! I asked her to taste them. What the hell! Hubby ordered the grand slam and poor thing had to eat one piece of small pancake that looked like prepared from Costco premix just add water and serve. One sausage split in half. Coffee was not good and tasted crap. But bacon was crispy — that’s only best thing my hubby liked.
Waste of money!
I will not recommend this restaurant at all! If breakfast is horrible, I can just imagine lunch and dinner Is even worse. Please be honest in your reviews!

Delicious food but very noisy because of a private party.
Service was spotty. Waited a long time for coffee refills.
Great home fries and peameal bacon.

A bunch of friends and I came in on a Saturday morning for brunch; we were actually VERY lucky to beat the rush!
I ordered the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benny, while others had the Philly Cheesesteak, Giant Chocolate Chip Pancakes and… other delicious-​looking meals.
Restaurant size:
It’s a fair-​sized place, with adequate spacing between tables. However, because it’s such a popular place it can fill up very fast.
Portion size:
Very nice! Finish all those home fries and you’re set for until the next major meal…
Service:
Courteous, available and helpful. We crack jokes a lot, so we had a nice time interacting with the staff.

3.5
Came here over the weekend for breakfast. Heard this place has some of the best eggs benny in town. How did it do? More after the break
Pros:
Very good eggs benny
Service is amazing
Cons:
Other breakfast items could be better
Reading some of the reviews before mine, it was obvious that we would have to try the eggs benny here. Took a drive up on a saturday morning. The restaurant is located in a plaza with ample parking. The place has a big red sign that stands out so you can’t miss it.
We arrive just around 9am and the place is already busy. When it’s busy, it’s pretty loud inside. So if you’re looking for a quiet meal, you’re going to have to look somewhere else. Even though it’s busy the restaurant is fairly large and we are seated very quickly.
Coming with my GF who is a big fan of eggs benny, she obviously gets that. I order the grand slam breakfast which comes with eggs, home fries, a link of sausage, 2 strips of bacon, toast and a pancake. The food comes out a couple of minutes after we order. The eggs benny look amazing and taste pretty good to boot. The previous reviews were not lying about this. My grand slam left me a little disappointed though. The home fries here are a little over done. There are pieces that are downright too hard to chew at times. The bacon suffered from the same problems as well. It was pretty average compared to the eggs benny.
One thing I need to say though about this place. We had the absolute best waiter I can remember in recent memory. I’m sorry that I can’t remember his name, but he was awesome. He was very friendly and helpful. It felt like he’s just loves being there. His demeanor was cheerful and he apologized for anything even if it wasn’t his fault. I would go back and make sure he’s my waiter again. He’s the reason this place got 4 from me even if I felt it was a 3.5. I will get his name and update this review when I can. It’s the only way to do him justice.
All in all, this place is nice place to head down for breakfast. Like everyone before me, get the eggs benny and you won’t be disappointed.

Great breakfast menu but unfortunately I don’t like eating breakfast food in the morning. Luckily they offer different options for non-​breakfast eaters. I ordered the chicken quesadilla and instantly loved it at first bite. The restaurant is overall a friendly atmosphere and offer great service

Had the pleasure of dinning at Steve’s recently. Ordered the beef dip which came with French fries and coleslaw. My sandwich was full of meat and delicious, however the dip was just ok. Generous portion of fantastic fries! And in the end I was given a take away box and small gravy container to take home my leftovers. Waiter was awesome! Completely awesome! Will definitely return hopefully many more times and will be recommending to everyone :)

Amazing omelette with Italian Sausage and goat cheese, though the egg was a little overdone. Excellent service and care, and fast service. Well kept and clean location with a casual vibe. Would definitely go back — prime location for brunch/​breakfast.

We came today, Mother’s Day, & the line up was out the door. While there was a wait, the turnover was quite fast & were seated within about 20 minutes. Both my wife & mom had omelettes, which they both enjoyed. My son had a kids sized chocolate chip pancake with bacon on the side. I had the egged florentine which actually was quite good.
The only feedback is that as it was quite busy refills on there bitter coffee was hard to come by. We had to ask twice. There was a nice added touch of a rose for the moms, which the ladies enjoyed.
For breakfast and efficient service, Steves gets a solid four. Definitely a place for brunch and indulgence for a weekend breakfast.

Good breakfast. It’s a cleaned up version of an old school diner.
There is no hipster attitude or lines or fancy brioche, just good eggs and fantastic drip coffee. No frills, but worth the price.
Amazing coffee!

Came here for sunday morning breakfast.
This place is traditional breakfast place (eggs, bacon, pancakes, etc)
What we had:
Eggs benedict — definetly worth it, so get this if you like this kind of food.
eggs + turkey bacon + fries and toast — the turkey bacon was dry and not good, don’t get it. The food came out warm, not hot.
The service — Could have been much better. The server took a long time to come and take our order, basically we finished our coffee. The girl that walks around and gives coffee to everyone is doing the best job of them all. By the way coffee is included with all meals.
I would recommend this to anyone in the area that is looking for a good breakfast.

I’m always looking for a good Eggs Benny. This usually leads me to major hotel restaurants, but you can always find a good representation at a smaller independent restaurant.
Steve’s is a spacious restaurant just south of the 407, and worth a quick detour to get a well executed breakfast. Nicely poached eggs, a tasty chunk of pea meal bacon on an English muffin, smothered in Hollandaise. With a generous portion of home fries, it’s a meal that carries me through most of the day.
Eggs Benedict: that’s what I came for and it was worth the short deviation. Become a deviant yourself!

After reading some of the reviews here, I decided to try this place for lunch. Of course, I had to order the Eggs Benedict, and see what all the fuss was about.
Food was delicious. Home fries were not too greasy, the eggs benny was spot on, very nice hollandaise sauce, not too watery and not too thick, just right. The waitress gave me an option of how well done I wanted my poached eggs! I never had the option before at any other place, so it was a nice surprise. The meal also came with a tea or coffee, which is also a nice surprise.
Staff are friendly, and the place was 75% filled with diners during the late lunch hour when I arrived. I often drive by this place and assumed it was a quiet joint with no diners, but I was wrong.
I will definitely be coming back to try out some of the other fair. Well done, Steve.

Great staff, amazing breakfast.
Had my first eggs Benedict here and I was OBSESSED! it’s so good it’s legit the perfect breakfast. I had it somewhere else a week later and it was so gross compared to steves famous eggs Benny. My friends are obsessed with this place too. If you feel like breakfast. Steves doesn’t disappoint.

Straight up, y’all are straight up CRAY, if you don’t agree that this is best Eggs Benny around. I can understand my 5 star might be excessive to some, but 3 star or less? That’s just not plausible.
How can I be this confident? Easy, allow me to enlighten you to the Eatcrest Benny rating scale (it’s a science). Based on the following criteria: Hollandaise (taste/​texture), Egg Consistency, quality/​cook/​thickness of pemale bacon included, toast on the English muffin
*Hollandaise* — thick, creamy, slight tang of citrus (not enough to be overwhelming, enough to be delightful), lightly garnished with chopped greens
*Egg* — perfectly cooked to specifications, zero extra water or moisture, great shape and perfect level of runny egg
*Meat* — Easily the most perfect cut of peamale I’ve had the pleasure of eating. Not a skimpy scrap, and not a steak cut, the perfect quantity relative to the rest of the plate. Cooked also perfectly, no excess char but cooked hot through
*Toast* — lightly buttered, cooked medium, light browning but soft once cut.
So far Steve’s (which is located south of hwy 7 on Yonge, just inside of Thornhill/​Vaughan) is batting 1000 on food, so what’s left? Staff, service, location, and extras.
Staff, incredibly friendly, 2 servers looking after the entire place and not one cup of coffee has gone cold. Service, expert in my opinion, I asked what the recco of my server would be: Classic Benny OR Salmon Benny — she said «without a doubt classic». The location itself is likely one of the classiest, cleanest and nicest places to consider itself a diner.
And lastly… the added bonus? Free Wifi, I’m writing this review at my table while using said WiFi as we speak.
I’ll be back time and again for this Benny when in town, but I’m also excited to try their long list of Omlets
Eatcrest Out!

Steve’s has been in Thornhill for a few years but started at their North York location many years prior. They specialize in breakfast, although dinner items are offered.
They have brought the same consistency, speedy service and friendly staff as found at the Bathurst location. Whether it’s fluffy pancakes or their tasty corned beef hash, the breakfast items always deliver.

I’ve tried most of these new trendy breakfast places popping up all over the city, and I just don’t get it. Long line ups, tiny restaurants, tiny portions, and recipes with all this new age organic crap.
All I want is to go have breakfast in a reasonable amount of time, with reasonable portions, fair prices, in a restaurant that isn’t cramped.
For these reasons this is my favourite breakfast place in town.
Best salmon eggs Benny ever.

Last visit: Jan 2014
Number of visits: 1
Ordered: Smoked salmon egss Benny — 11 dollars
Here are the deets:
Hollandaise sauce — good, nice tangy taste
English muffin — a bit over toasted, should have been creamier.
Poached egg — perfection. With runny yolk
Salmon — store bought lox. Nothing special.
Hash browns — tasty, not too salty
Coffee — very good for diner space
Atmosphere: it’s a semi higher class diner but very clean.
Verdict: would visit if I am in the area again.
