Day Break Bowmanville — Restaurant in Clarington

Greasy spoon! I tried several dishes.. I have nothing good to say about any of them. Pools of oil on the eggs (which are rarely cooked properly) , grease all over the home fries, grease smothering the meat, food just thrown onto the plate, processed chicken!? Everything is processed and frozen. Not a healthy option. Also.. The men's washroom smells like raw sewage and it wafts though the place, especially when they leave the back door open to take in deliveries. Which makes the temperature in the restaurant fluctuate dramatically to extremely cold then hot again then down again.. It's uncomfortable and common - on a daily basis. There's a lack of variety to the menu and I found some sketchy health concerns going on with the kitchen/cash register being together. I really gave this place a try.. But I sincerely have nothing good to say about the food here. I could go on about the atmosphere and the general attitude of the kitchen but I won't. I can say that the service is outstanding! Danielle, Jackie, Anita, and Shelby are all fun and very genuine ladies. I think a lot of people love their service so much that they don't want to tell them how awful their experience was regarding...

This was our first time eating here. We thought it would be brighter inside but the restuarant is quite dark and has a different atmosphere than we anticipated.

The service was good and we received our food within a reasonable amount of time despite it very being busy.

The food on the other hand surpassed our expectations. The fruit in our fruit bowl was fresh and sweet and tasted like ripe fruit you would have at home rather than those awful fruit bowls you usually get in breakfast places where all the fruit tastes the same. My eggs were perfectly cooked and so was my bacon which I was happy with.

The home fries made here are the best home fries we've had, and we've eaten at a lot of breakfast places. They are beautifully seasoned, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I could eat them all day.

Overall very happy with this place, I just personally prefer brighter rooms which is the only reason I'm not giving...

First.... and Last Visit!

So glad this place showed up on maps so I can write my review - or more accurately, my warning. If you are a breakfast restaurant.. then make REAL HOME FRIES - actual potatoes prepared and served. DO NOT USE McCain frozen bites (or whatever they are called) like the Holiday Inn Express does. Second, LEARN HOW TO COOK EGGS.. Hard, Medium, Soft... People actually prefer different consistencies of yolk.. RUNNY and COLD is not what everyone wants. If your hair is falling out, then please wear hair nets. The last thing I want to see as I eat the last piece of egg is a black hair immersed in the runny yolk (that I had asked for hard).

Bottom line, there are many alternatives to Breakfast restaurants and if you are willing to spend $20 on a meal you can make at home for $2, then go anywhere else. In my opinion, if you can't get breakfast right, then I am not coming back to give you a...
