Troy's Diner Inc — Restaurant in Milton

Before I begin writing a review on my dining experience at Troy's Diner, I would like to stress the fact that I never take the time to do so. In fact, having owned a restaurant myself I understand the challenges faced with running a business in the food service industry. I hated reading any unsatisfactory reviews by people who have no idea of what it takes to please everyone all the time. It can't be done. But I can take the time to write a congratulatory review. I am happy to do so in this case. My friend and I were heading from Guelph to Milton yesterday and he suggested we stop at Troy's diner for breakfast. Having never eaten there before or anywhere in Milton for that matter, I agreed. When we arrived we parked directly across the street where there was a huge parking lot. We entered the restaurant and were greeted immediately. Our waitress had 12 other customers at the time and this was an off peak hour at 9:45 am. I appreciated the fact that she was so quick to greet us as she was the only server on that early. The ambiance was quite unique especially if you liked Coca Cola novelty items. I thought that was pretty cool myself. She had a jug of coffee before we even asked. That is the sign of a good server. The menu was extensive so I asked her what she would recommend. She suggested the all day breakfast for $5.99. I asked her what it consisted of. She replied, 3 eggs, mini grilled potatoes, bacon with toast and jam. I added a side of sausage just incase I was still going to be hungry. No need for that. I was quite impressed with the portion sizing. The bacon consisted of 3 pieces with almost no fat at all. i tried getting through it all because the sausages were quite large as well. The eggs were not even remotely soggy. everything was cooked to perfection and arrived in a very timely fashion. As far as pricing goes I did pay extra for the side of sausage..The coffee was $3.69 which of course included refills. Par for the course at a decent sit down restaurant anywhere. My bill was $18 when the taxes were included. Tipping was an option and I tipped 25%. Because it was worth it. There are plenty of bars and restaurants that have a tip included even if the service or food was below par. All and all this was a very pleasant experience and I would give it a 5 star review. I am looking forward to returning and trying out another one of...

I was REALLY looking forward to my first visit at TD. It is a stalwart in Milton with a good reputation and I'm surprised it took this long. The ambience is friendly, the staff are on first-name basis with regular customers (something has 'em coming back!) And you can admire the Coca Cola memorabilia for hours. They play cool tunes from the seventies and it's an overall nice retro feel you'd expect from, well, it's a diner, right? By diggity was breakfast a tad pricey though. Sausages and eggs, coffee and tip came out to sixteen+ dollars all in - so where were the buxom young nubiles in hootchie shorts! Breakfast wasn't bad, the sausages were pretty good, the eggs were sunnyside-up to perfection but the hash brown taters were shoved under this leaning tower of sliced toast and were completely bland. A nice russet or yellow potato would be ideal - what do taters cost? About two bucks a kilo!! Hash brown taters make or break a breakfast and should be plentiful and this brekkie had you chasing down tiny chunks of potato too small to stick your fork in while you kept knocking-down the leaning tower of sliced toast on top. (Come on!) I'm new to Milton, my former breakfast joint was The Canadiana Restaurant in Mimico, God bless that place, and this brekkie pales in comparison. Service was good, okay the waitress deserved a decent tip and earned it, but breakfasts that include juice and coffee can still be found for several dollars less than this. Certainly not an unpleasant dine, breakfast was ready quickly, but it's the kind of place in beautiful Milton that resembles a tourist trap. 'Could be my bad, perhaps I missed the breakfast specials arriving late-ish in the morning. Breakfast was light, not greasy at all (even the sausages weren't that oily) and easy to digest. 5/5 minus one for a pricey meal ($16.00-odd including tip!) and minus one for lacklustre and skimpy hash brown potato servings. Better breakfasts can be had for under ten...

Seems like a greasy spoon that locals swoon over simply because it’s local. Either we got duped by the reviews, or this is really a “breakfast and burgers” joint and we shouldn’t have ordered anything else.

I got the smoked meat sandwich on rye for $20 with onion rings. Onion rings were fresh and good, but the sandwich came out on white wonder bread instead of rye, the meat was dry, and it was all piled to the middle of the sandwich to make the cross section look impressive but the back half of the sandwich turned to just bread pretty quick. Not worth the $20. Since the shakes seemed to be a specialty we tried one, but were pretty disappointed right away. We thought for all the classic vibe we’d be getting a classic shake recipe, but the pile of whipped cream on top was just that fake whipped “topping” that tastes, well, fake.

Server was nice but didn’t seem to know how to deal with concerns or issues with our order being raised. When we asked for a discount due to the issues they gave us one which was good, but we had to ask.

All the reviews we read were glowing, but like, obnoxiously so. I don’t know if people just really want to sing praises because it’s a local spot and Milton only has a few of those options to choose from, so there’s a level of romanticism to it, but it kinda seems that way. Maybe the breakfast and burgers are great, but I don’t think I’ll be back...
