Mars Diner — Restaurant in Toronto

This place is your classic all American diner! I loved the look and feel of the place, most diners, although lovely, can feel really dingy. This place gives you that exciting classic diner feeling, from the booths, to the lights, to the cups, to the uniforms!

I loved this place. I walk by it all the time, and it’s always either full, or has a line coming out the door. Lucky for us, we were able to get seated very quickly.

Service here is friendly and prompt. The staff are efficient and very kind and patient.

The menu is huge, so prepare yourself for some amazing options. When I see a huge menu, I often worry that the food won’t be great, because why are they making so many different things? But not at the Mars Diner.

The food was phenomenal. And yes, it was classic diner food, but wow it was delicious. I ordered the southwest Benny sandwich, and an iced coffee with vanilla syrup in it. The iced coffee was great, I really enjoyed it. The food was also delicious. It was cooked perfectly, the salad was simple but tasty, and the home fries were classic and delicious. I loved the chipotle sauce and peameal bacon on my Benny, it also came with sautéed onion and mushrooms, which added the perfect touch. My partner ordered the mars mountain sandwich, which unfortunately wasn’t what he expected (he misread the menu and didn’t realize all the food would be layered on top of each other with the meats being chopped and mixed with the eggs). However, despite that, it tasted fantastic and he enjoyed the whole meal.

This place does diner food fantastically, and it’s no wonder it’s busy all the time. I can’t wait to come back here and try something else off...

I was at your restaurant at 11:30 AM on August 2nd, 2025. There were two tables in front of us, and we waited patiently. A waiter told me that I would need to wait about 8 minutes. Then same waiter came back and said a table had become available, and that they could seat the three of us by just adding a chair. I politely declined, because I was with my 6-year-old niece and wanted a more comfortable breakfast. I said I didn’t mind waiting.

Shortly after, the table right by the window became available. The same staff member told me our table was ready, but when I asked if we could sit there, I was told “no, that’s a large table,” even though only two people had just left that table.

I’ve been to your restaurant many times before. The blonde waiter with glasses and the Asian staff member with glasses usually recognize me, and I’ve never had a negative experience—until today. The staff member I interacted with this time had the worst energy I’ve experienced there.

We were a group of three. Two people had just left that table. I was ready to wait for it to be cleaned, but was told again that it was “for larger groups.” Why are you making things harder than they need to be?

What was the issue here? We didn’t disrespect anyone. We were willing to wait as long as needed. I’ve worked in hospitality before it’s really not that hard to treat people kindly and accommodate them...
