She's so very sweet, and makes very yummy food and does NOT cheap out at all. Makes anyone there feel like old times So welcome and old fashioned. Nostalgic and warm like people used to I guess take for granted Not too many places around like that anymore. Wow... now I am hungry

Classic. Timeless. Effortless. old school. Toronto. Comfort food, fresh and delicious. As a single mother I can keep food on the table and my kids happy. This place is about service and true love for food. Not greedy price guagers. Other bussiness can learn! Hats off to the owner who can easily hack up her prices 10 fold

CASH ONLY. Old school diner vibes where the food is bomb and cheap. Be prepared to wait as it is a lean operation. We ordered the club house sandwich, hamburger and fries that costed less than $20! Very rare to find a meal for less than $10 these days. Would recommend if you are not in a hurry and would come back.

We know this small restaurant from Toronto Stars as it is already a 58-years old store. It is located in the old east downtown district and can be reached by taking TTC streetcar 501/504/505. We like the “old” and moody feels of the store, like in an old movie! Menu is simple and food very cheap. Club House only $2.95, it has chicken, bacon, tomatoes, lettuce, bread nicely browned ….. Very cheap price for good food! Highly Recommend! Hamburger is freshly made too, hot and juicy only $1.75! Truly attractive price! This is a nice little place!

I’m legitimately nervous to post this review as Gale’s seems like an amazing place for locals, standing the tests of time against gentrifying forces to the North, South, East and West. However, if you’re looking for what food prices would look like if inflation was paused in the late 1990’s: this is your place. The decorum is lacklustre but the hospitality and prices can’t be beat. Don’t go to Gale’s if you’re looking for fine cuisine. Go if you want something simple, cheap, and filling.

The prices are unbeatable! The food.. Well.. I might have used a different bread and cheese.. But then again.. It was so cheap, and I didn't have to make it myself.. I liked it as a fun experience, but even though it was cheap, the food and the worn down interior made it a one-time-only experience.. But one thing is for sure, it's an experience I'll NEVER forget.. And a great story for the future :) ❤️
