Avenue Diner — Restaurant in Toronto

DO NO EAT HERE ! The only thing diner about this place is the name.

The order: Western Omelette. No peppers, virtually a spec of onions, overcooked, supposed to be 3 eggs, definitely only 2 w/water added to stretch the dish. Home fries are saturated in oil, not crispy or seasoned. Served with the low end white wonderbread for toast. That’s all there was on plate for $18.95. Not a slice of tomato or a piece a fruit that you would usually get at a diner. Coffee not included as well. Not even a jam for your toast.

Grilled Cheese: White wonderbread with 1 Kraft single as the cheese for $10. It didn’t even cover the bread. It was a sad sandwich. Not sure what they put on the bread when grilling it but it had this Crispy greasy texture on the outside. I couldn’t eat it after one bite.

Asked if fries are homemade. Nope frozen fries and they charge $7 for them. Thankfully we decided to take a pass on them.

Orange juice is Tropicana. Nothing fresh squeezed in that dept. a ridiculous price of $4.95

The guy cooking over the grill wasn’t wearing a hair net. Goes against the rules for safe dining.

I can honestly say this is more then a disappointment for the price. It’s disgusting.

Also cash only with a phony old...

I remember this place as being a decent diner, though not as cultish as Mars or as good as the old People's Diner on Dupont, but OK. So the other weekend, I walked down with my wife for a late brunch. Yikes! Food is so-so at best, but expensive! I had a club sandwich (fries were extra) with fries on the side, no slaw (they don't do slaw anymore), and my wife had a veggie omelet, with the eggs barely scrambled and the veggies rather scant. All this came, with tax and tip, to over $60, and BTW, they only take cash. And, no A/C, so they had the doors wide open for the breeze, which also brings in swarms of hungry yellowjackets ( I killed 4 during our meal) which will try to share your food. All in all, a very disappointing experience, and my wife hasn't let me hear the end of it yet, and it's been a couple weeks. Avoid this joint like the plague. There are diners out there with better food, at cheaper prices and with...

Soooooo disappointed. My girlfriend went here many years ago with her kids and it was great. Not anymore! I was in the mood for diner food. I asked the waitress if the hot chicken sandwich was open face and she said yes. That implies 2 pieces of bread to make a sandwich. That's not what I got. One piece of bread with a little tasty chicken and gravy on it and a decent amout of potatoes on a small plate $21 and I was hungry. My girlfriend ordered the club sandwich. She got a small 2 piece sandwich that was small for a regular sandwich with nothing on a small plate just the sandwich. $18. Very tiny glass of tropicana orange juice $4. We both left hungry and we're not big people. This place needs a wake up call. They charge a lot and serve very little portions not big enough for a normal lunch. We decided not to order coffee there. Instead we went out for coffee and a croissant since we were...
