Hello foodies out there . I decided I wanted some italian food tonight and it was going to be spaghetti and meat balls. I have eaten food from this place a few times now with some disappointments in the quality . But it's only fair that I give AJ'S a higher rating this time around as the food this time was quite good. Going forward I know that certain menu items are much better then others. Food 4/5 The spaghetti pasta was aldente perfectly cooked and fresh. The sauce was very neutral non acidic and you can clearly see sauce was feshly made for this dish and not from a jar at all really nice sauce with nice tomato chunks in sauce well seasoned with basil . The meat balls were fabulous tasted like a mixture of veal and pork homemade for sure very tender and juicy...the garlic bread that came with meal was also nice french baguette with garlic butter and sprinkled with some oregano very nice bread. Great pasta and the price was great and the lowest I found on skip the dishes for this dish. Again I have had other dishes from this place that got a 3/5 rating but this dish was well made and tasted great and recomended . read more

A really lovely place. Lot of seating. Most of the customers are seniors like us who are happy in this very relaxed atmosphere. The food is very good. What I like most is the very personalized service. They welcome us with a smile, make very friendly conversations and are happy to serve us. We do frequent this place often. read more

Great food and portions, great service always great start to day here! Would recommend to anyone looking for new breakfast place read more

AJ's Bar and Grill - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

An absolute hidden gem, but only for breakfast/brunch. I love their Greek omelettes, and their breakfast sausages. Avoid their lunch and dinner menus, which are lacklustre at best. read more

I really, really wanted to love this place, but ended up being a bit disappointed. We found this place from other Yelp reviews, and we are always in search of the perfect brunch, wherever we are. We decided to head over to this place, which is tucked into the back of a number of other businesses, kind of hidden. Inside is very nice, furnished in dark woods, pretty classy looking. The sign said to seat yourself. We were initially attended to promptly, and our order was taken. I went for their Eggs Benny, and Lee went for a Lumberjack special, along with coffees. The food was great, the Eggs Benedict were well prepared with nice home fries and a good hollandaise. Lee was happy with his mountain of meats and pancakes. The problems began after we were served. I am wondering if this place is understaffed, because there were a couple of big tables seated in the place, and there were only 2 servers that I could see. The kitchen was pumping out food, but the servers weren't really able to keep up with everything. There wasn't anyone to bus tables, and they were too busy to get to them. We got one coffee refill and then nothing at all for the rest of the time, except right at the very end. You could tell the servers were stressed, because there were some voices being raised over by the pass. Our server was so harried that she forgot that she actually brought food out to us, and apologized for the wait and that our food would be right out. We had to stop her to remind her that she had already served us. I also think that part of the problem was there were an awful lot of people doing takeout orders, that seemed to be overwhelming the staff in addition to the large tables. 2 people to be minding this place was really nowhere near enough! I think I would go back, but perhaps check to make sure they were fully staffed before doing so. read more

This rating is simply for breakfast and not for any other meal. It is also based solely on my experience, not my husband's. Hubby's favourite meal is breakfast so I let him lead and I just follow. He chose AJ's for me because he saw the "amazing" ratings for eggs benedict and thought I would like it. Unfortunately, AJ's eggs benny was the most disgusting iteration of eggs benedict I have ever tried to eat. ***For anyone who likes real hollandaise sauce, you won't find it here.*** The sauce was clearly not made fresh and worse, tasted like mayonnaise. When I inquired, I learned that it was not house-made but came from a container. Ew. Worse, the meal was bathed in so much of the sauce that the rest of the food was inedible. The waitress noticed but offered nothing in exchange and I didn't ask. I knew I wasn't going back. I can only suspect the stunning ratings are from people who either dislike the real deal or have never had it. To each their own but if you like the real stuff, don't waste your time with this offering. read more

Great place, has delicious food and the service is really friendly. Very home like feeling to it and inviting. The wings were as good as St. Louis just a block away and the price is about the same too read more

I've visited this place on two separate occasions. The first time, I didn't even know it existed but found out that it was considered, to some, the best breakfast place out there! My first experience was awful, we waited approximately 20 minutes to just being served on and then another 40+ minutes to receive our breakfasts. The food was mediocre. Eggs were over done, sausage didn't taste right, etc. They may have been understaffed, the waitress was exhausted and just barreling all over the place! Let's give it another shot right... Maybe they were just having an off day! We returned approximately a month later and, same story from every angle except, this time, the waitress was smiling! The speed of service hadn't changed, the quality of food hadn't changed. I will not be going back! There are much better places in Brampton for breakfast! read more

I normally wouldn't take the time to write a review but my experience was so bad that I hope someone reads this and fixes the problem for their business' sake. Me and my fiancé went for breakfasts there for the first time and asked the waitress if the philly omelette was a good option. She hesitated then said yes. We assumed she was being honest and proceeded to order one beef and one Turkey philly omelette. When the Omelette's arrived they were extremely bland. This could have really been a good dish if they had seasoned the meat. Imagine boiling shredded beef and Turkey not seasoning at all and throwing it in an omelette with cheese and peppers. It was truly awful. We asked for hot sauce and BBQ sauce. She brought it to the table and didn't say a word regarding the fact that there was an up charge to get BBQ sauce. We added it to the Omelette's to try to make them edible so we don't have to wait for another meal as we were in a rush. They still tasted horrible and my fiancé didn't finish 75% of it. I'm a garbage disposal so I ate the whole thing. Plus I was hungry Then the waiter sits down with her family to share a meal completely disregarding our table. I chose not to say anything out of respect as her child and husband were there. Finally she remembered the table in a rush who have had a horrible experience were staring at the back of her head and she turned around getting up from her meal. I asked for the bill and she asked if we wanted the food packed. We replied no because we did not enjoy it as politely as possible. Then we see the bill. Nothing was done to rectify both bad meals and the cherry on top was she charged us $1.50 for BBQ sauce. Now if she mentioned the charge earlier that would have been fine, but since there was no mention at the time I asked for it and now after her hearing that we are about to pay approx $30 for a meal that we both didn't like, that felt like salt in the wounds and total disregard for customer experience Btw tables were sticky utensils had jam on them :s Whole place wasn't welcoming. Still tipped her 15% as she was pregnant and I felt bad I would never eat here again and neither should you Worst breakfast ever!!! read more

I had a really good brunch here recently and I didn't even know this place existed! It is pretty much right behind the Mclaughlin strip mall with the Canadian Tire and Timmies inside. Well, anyways the menu is pretty standard breakfast which is what we were going for, this is my one complaint: nothing that is a signature item or sounds out of the ordinary. But the food was really good, the service was amazing and the pricing is affordable. I had the waffle with fruit and that waffle...I think I finished it in under a minute, hands down the fluffiest and freshest waffle I have had outside of my own kitchen. The fruit was on the side and in a little bowl, not much fruit but I found it to be just the right amount to not waste any food. All in all, a pretty stand-up joint for your next breakfast! read more

One of the best breakfast restaurants and it's only 2 minutes away! I especially love the home fries and that alone makes me want to come back here. read more

AJ's Bar and Grill - AJs Restaurant's delicious homemade breakfast to kick off the day! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

I have been coming to this place for years and have enjoyed it every time except for today. My son and I got there , Sat down, got our coffees and ordered. Up to that point everything was fine , then when 20 minutes went by I wondered if they forgot our order, next another table who sat down well after we ordered got their breakfast I asked the waitress ,she was rude and had the balls to tell me it was because it takes longer to make our food. The kicker is the table that got served ahead of us ordered the same as us. No apologies ,no nothing!!!. It doesn't take a half hour to make breakfast. They screwed up an tried to put it on me. Breakfast restaurants are all over the place, no problem finding another!!! read more

Best breakfast in brampton for very affordable price. The hungry man was very filling.

Great breakfast for fair prices. They even have a Newfie Breakfast, fried bologna and eggs. Didn't get that this time but try another time. They cooked my eggs perfectly and the ham was a nice thick piece. Will be back for breakfast for sure. read more

Im giving 4stars because of the fast service, large portions and reasonable prices. This isn't necessarily 'lean cuisine' or 'modern fare' but if you want a hearty brunch to fill you up for a long while then make your way there and enjoy : ) ....fyi I had the "Hungry Man" read more

Today I had the chance to get breakfast and again lunch from the same place. My 1st physical visit to this place. Can be improved to more appealing. Food is good. read more

The prices and food are excellent. There is always something on the menu that will satisfy everyone. The service is excellent and the staff will make recommendations and will accommodate special requests. Their daily specials are great too. The atmosphere could use an update, but the restaurant is clean and friendly! read more

I been coming to this place for a year now and I haven't been disappointed yet. The food is excellent, great portions and is always prepared well. I'm normally iffy when it comes to family own places like this but this was totally different. The service from the wait staff was really great. They made sure my coffee was always filled, my water was never empty and they made sure my empty plates were taken away. Overall clean place, clean bathrooms and good environment. Would recommend this place. read more

It's hard to find a table early because every cop in Brampton eats here before their shift. Once you go a few times the waitress knows you by name and order. We eat here at least once a week, sometimes more. Comfort food at it's best. Everyone is down to earth and staff are friendly and just amazing! read more
