Western Kitchen — Restaurant in Toronto

We stopped in on our way through Etobicoke wanting some breakfast. I'd give a 2.5 if I could.

The good: bacon made fresh, and like, no shortage of bacon, probably raised my blood pressure that day but NO REGRET the bacon was great. I liked the vintage diner decor too. Dated but charming.

The great: the coffee was... so much better than I expected. Really good for diner coffee. It had "tasting notes". The donut I had was delicious, really a peak donut, although I was unable to finish it due to it having surprise nuts in it. This was my bad, I should have asked, I just don't usually expect to find nuts in a donut. I would definitely recommend the donuts to someone without nut allergies. Fresh and delicious.

The bad: I could not find a bathroom, we ended up going to Subway afterwards. Some other reviewers mentioned a bathroom, so I think it must have been the door that was blocked off by a potted plant. The single staff member was barely paying attention to anything so I was unable to ask. My toast was not evenly buttered and the butter was not melted. No salt and pepper on the tables, so I couldn't add seasoning to the plain eggs. Since the cook vanished into the back once we had our plates, I wasn't able to ask where to get pepper either. Maybe it's normally on the tables and they were just being refilled?

The ugly: One of the menu items we ordered was a BLT. We were served a "B". We were in a hurry so we chose to not bring this massive oversight up, but... THERE ARE THREE INGREDIENTS IN A BLT, NOT ONE! Granted we got the one that we would least like to be forgotten, and there was a ton of bacon, a lover of bacon would not be disappointed, but where was the lettuce! Where was the tomato! How did the cook mess this up? WE DON'T KNOW. How do you put only bacon in a BLT! I doubt this is normal for the place... but HOW! I know we should have taken a picture, but there wasn't a single tiny bit of vegetable in that BLT, only condiment and bacon.

Prices are right. Coffee was good. I would definitely drop in for a coffee and donut (assuming not all have nuts) but frankly after my food experience I would just make bacon and eggs and a BLT at home.

Truly a classic...

The food at this place is awesome! Want fancy food? Go somewhere else. Want simple and delicious food? You are in the right spot! Western Kitchen has a great variety of menu items to choose from and almost everything is under $10! From fish 'n chips to burgers to doughnuts and beef patties, this place will serve up some delicious, made to order comfort food. I love putting in my order and being told to come back in 15 minutes. Why? The food is piping hot and fresh and ready to be enjoyed. That's why. Don't come here expecting lobster and steak. Come here because you want to cheat on your diet, you want a burger that you don't have to make yourself or you are high as a kite. Regardless of your situation, be prepared to choose from a cacophony of delicious menu items at a great price. Pay them a visit, you won't be disappointed. And if you are, lower your expectations and hop off your high...

I'm shock right now, my husband and me we are/were customers of this little café, I found that the staff is nice here, today it was raining a lot I was waiting for my husband 4 minutes between this restaurant doors, when the night shift waitress came and in a very rude manner started banging the windows to catch my attention, she came out beside me and in a very rude manner she put me out of the establishment, the restaurant was completely empty and no one on the street, she said I was blocking the entrance door and start screaming at me sending me to the bus stop to wait there, I just asked her to don't be mean to me and she continues to be rude and screaming at me like out of her mind. Would be nice to ask for a high-school diploma to your workers so they will have manners when talking to people. Please don't let people like this ruin your name, I'm very...
