Chew Chew Grill

A truly awful experience. I get it, it's Sunday morning, it's busy. But this was genuinely ridiculous. Our server was noticeably grumpy, it took far too long for our order to be taken. The tables around us got sat after us, yet had their orders taken and received their food before us. When our food eventually arrived, everything was cold. Not even luke warm, cold. Our server didn't quality check so we didn't have a chance to address it or send it back. My gf was supposed to get pancakes as part of her meal, she had to go up the the counter and ask for them, then it took another 20 minutes for them to arrive, as we were getting ready to leave. I also had to go up to the counter to get more hot water for tea. Overall just a frustrating, unenjoyable experience. They should consider putting another server on, because we basically didn't have one. Have lived in the area for almost 15 years, will NEVER go back here. Really upset with this. $50 for breakfast, money down the drain.

Ordered catering from Chew Chew’s for Turkey with gravy and cranberry sauce for 30 people with a 48 hour notice. They were very reasonable with price and gave great customer service. Turkey was cooked to perfection, and everyone at my party raved about the gravy. The manager Reegan responded to my inquiry quickly and professionally. Overall would highly recommend Chew Chew for any of your catering large event needs (:

It used to be very good, now I don't know what happened. I ordered a vegi omelette (through ubereats) and they send me eggs mixed with water (to make it look fluffuier) Do they think people are stupid and won't notice it. Your saving on eggs by adding water to it, but now you have lost a customer.

So happy it’s open again. We love this local spot. Great food and value. The conductor special is a must try if you are hungry! You get a full breakfast and super soft and fluffy pancakes! Service is always friendly A must try for all.

This place hit the spot for breakfast/brunch. We ordered All aboard special and crispy chicken Benedict. The bacon was so crispy and eggs very fluffy. The hollandaise sauce was very tasty. The portions were very generous. Also enjoyed the design of the restaurant, hence the chew chew(train). I really enjoyed my visit, as the servers were very welcoming and friendly. I will definitely be back whenever I visit downtown TO.

I'm so disappointed.. That I never tried this place sooner. I love diners like this - so much character. Places like this make you feel like you're eating a home cooked meal, made from scratch. I love that they don't skimp on portions or things like the amount of olives on my Greek salad. Service was above and beyond. Normally I can't stand when a girl younger than me calls me 'sweetie' or for us 'lovelies' but not the case with our server, Gray. Charming, professional and friendly and very efficient - she can call us whatever she likes, lol. An added shout out to this place - they are commissioned by Saint Luke's United Church across the street to provide the meals that are handed out twice a week as part of their meal program. It feeds people at Allan Gardens and others in the area. All the more reason Chew Chews deserves kudos and support from the community! Already looking forward to going back!

This restaurant is a great place to dine in and eat breakfast with coworkers/friends. The portions are big for a good price. I shared some of my veggie omelette with my partner and I ate some of the strawberry pancakes. The pancakes had a crispy outside with a soft and fluffy inside. The hash was salty and cripsy deep fried deliciousness. If I am in the neighborhood, I would go here again.

October 12/2024: Finally reopened and nothing better to start my Saturday with steak & eggs which was done to perfection. 2024: Thursday March 27. Went for breakfast but the Diner was locked up tight. Both signs showing their new phone number and advertising for help wanted have been removed. Hope it's nothing permanent. 2023: Fresh mashed potatoes have made a comeback at this fine Diner. A welcome alternative to fries or fried potatoes. Nice people who make comfort food. The benches are comfortable and well lit. Oct/2016: Well greeted and promptly seated. Bacon & eggs with coffee (free refill) and a large fresh orange juice. 4 thick pieces of bacon, 3 eggs, real roasted potatoes and thick cut toast with fruit all for $6.99...your wallet will thank you. Took a salmon with capers & cream cheese to go for $8.99 and it was delicious. For a decadent full flavour meal try the Eggs Benedict Meatloaf with bacon. I kid you not. I had mine with mashed potatoes which were done to perfection. It'll warm your senses on a cold day. A small but respectable bar with quality choices along with available beer will round off your meal quite nicely. No WIFI.
