    Incredible, new favourite and go to breakfast diner in downtown Toronto. The food is delicious, freshly cooked diner fare and the portions are huge with exceptionally low prices especially in the context of high recent inflation. Service was friendly. The three egg breakfast was delicious and is $6.99 or $8.99 if you include a side of bacon, sausage, or ham. The service friendly and fast. I'll be back soon!

    A really nice and affordable place for brunch. We ordered the great Canadian rail omelette and the eggs Benedict st Patrick - both were large portions, filling and tasty. Service was friendly and quick. We came on a monday holiday around 11:30am and were quickly seated as the place wasnt busy.

    I love these non pretentious, "dive diners". Delicious food, great service... fantastic price point! Love the atmosphere.

    I like the theme and the food portions are generous. I wouldn't say the breakfast is amazing but there is a large variety on the menu. I enjoyed my breakfast here and it was a great value. Overall I'd come here again for a sturdy breakfast and an ok cup of coffee

    Benedicts... somewhere under the sauce :/

    The plates are huge and if you don't get a big appetite, it's a waste... I ordered the Benedict, I had 4 eggs!! Unfortunately, they cannot put the appropriate amount of hollandaise. My whole plate was drowning in the sauce and I couldn't eat half of it. It was disgusting. Service very basic and slow. Probably won't return.

    Checked out #chewchewdiner today bc they have the cutest little mural on the side of their store and had to come see what they're about! The portions were American sized and the price was good. I ordered the pork hot sandwich with mashed potatoes and veggies on the side. I'm not sure why the boiled veggies were a little bit sour, but if it's done on purpose please stop bc it tastes like it has gone bad. My bf loved his breakfast burger though and was very satisfied with the portion size (4/5 rating). Our friend also enjoyed his meatloaf eggs benny (3.9/5). I was impressed by the service - our server was super friendly in a genuine sort of way and very on top of her game. The waters were also always full. Unfortunately I found a hair inside my hot sandwich so was too grossed out to finish the rest of the sandwich. My experience with the food was not great, but the other tasters at my table highly enjoyed their food. Price - 11.99 for hot pork sandwich Nom factor - 3/5 Service - 5/5

    At first, the restaurant doesn't look like much but the server, Gray, was so friendly right off the bat. Their service was above and beyond from the moment we stepped through the door until the moment we left. Then the food was amazing, I was expecting just regular diner food if that makes sense. Gray suggest we try the avocado, bacon egg dish with fancy hot sauce and omg it was so good!! I will definitely be going back

    Peameal bacon and eggs
    Kelly N.

    Another homerun in Toronto! I love the hole-in-the-wall places. The hidden gems where only locals dare tread...why? because they are usually the best place around. Chew Chew is one of them. Greeted by a friendly staff, lead to a booth that has seen more butts in it than I could care to imagine. To follow is a classic fry up that these places are famous for. The peameal bacon and eggs was plenty and by no means would you leave hungry. If you want linen napkins and cut glass goblets...this isn't the place for you. If you want good service and good food in a local atmosphere, this is a gem in Toronto.

    I decided to have dinner here before seeing They Might Be Giants at the Phoenix. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, and the staff is just attentive enough. I had the Friday night fish special (whitefish) and enjoyed the large portions. Everything was hot, greasy and exactly right. Coleslaw oily and vinegary, classic. My friend stood me up, so I ended up hanging out here for more than an hour, reading a novel and drinking tea. Staff never made me feel like I should pay up and leave, even after I offered when I saw the room start to fill up. All in all, a perfect place in Moss Park to hide from a cold, dark, wet night.

    Big portions! Decent taste .... but when the pancakes are served darker than my complexion it's time to go!

    Great food great service

    I was really surprised that this place was not busy. The food was fantastic and the service was great. Alex our waiter was right on with the menu and service . Very pleased and will certainly be coming back.

    Hot turkey sandwich
    Eric S.

    I was very impressed with this diner. The service is very good as is the food. I ordered the hour turkey sandwich and it was proper turkey not deli turkey. It came served with fresh vegetables. I ordered it with the fresh cut fries as my potato and they lived up to my expectations (I have a thing for fresh cut French Fries). Good portions and good food. It is conveniently located on the streetcar line. Definitely check them out. I'll be back. I love old style diners.

Where you order and where you pick up your drink isn't designed to allow for a good flow for customers, aside from that, I have no complaints. I ordered a latte and grabbed two goodies for the road, a raspberry croissant and a ginger molasses cookie. The staff working were welcoming and friendly and my items were ready rather quickly. Once I got back to my hotel, I settled in to enjoy and get some work done. My latte was smooth and creamy and just what I needed to get my day started. My raspberry croissant was beautiful and packed full of flavor. The filling wasn't too sweet and there was just the right amount inside. I saved my cookie for a snack while I traveled home later that day. I love how it had chunks of sugared ginger on top. The cookie had the perfect amount ​of chew to it and the ginger on top added an extra burst of ginger. It was lovely. I'm so glad I found this cafe on Yelp and I highly suggest you pay them a visit. I'm still dreaming of all the pastries I didn't get to try.

    It's been three years since I've last been in Toronto and thanks to Yelp, I was able to have my…read morefirst ever breakfast at Stacked Pancake & Breakfast the other day. This place looks like a fairly typical breakfast spot, offering a good amount of seating, large menus for both breakfast and Lunch, and of course, a ton of different pancake options! I'm usually not someone who orders temporary menu items or specials, but the second I saw the S'More Toffee Lava Pancakes I almost had a heart attack, so of course, I ordered the stupid pancakes to avoid such an problem. The food didn't take too long to come out, and they looked even better in person than they did in the menu. Maybe I'm just a little over enthusiastic about these pancakes, but I can pretty confidently say these may of been the best pancakes I've ever had. They were big, fluffy, and this plate did not skimp on the toppings at all. Overall, Stacked Pancake & Breakfast has definitely become a go-to spot for me when returning to Toronto. The food here was phenomenal and even though it took us almost 30 minutes for someone to give us a bill and let us pay, the pancakes were too good for me to get hung up on that. If you need some breakfast in the Queen/Spadina area, this is the place to go!

    I went to Stacked and tried the cinnamon bun pancakes and they were so good. Very sweet though so I…read morewould say share unless you really love sugar like that. But honestly worth it. I also had bacon and scrambled eggs and that was a nice touch with everything. The mix of sweet and savory just worked. Portions are solid and the food came out fresh. I would definitely come back.
