The food at this restaurant is good, but the service completely ruins the experience. There is a staff member who handles seating and sometimes serves, and his behavior has been consistently rude and unprofessional every time we visit. Today was especially unacceptable -- we were forced to wait outside in -1°C weather even though there were available tables, just because our third friend had not arrived yet. What made it worse is that other customers were being treated differently and allowed to sit. This kind of treatment feels unfair and disrespectful. It's really disappointing because we actually like the food, but the way we are treated makes us not want to come back. Management seriously needs to address this issue. read more

A chill diner for breakfast and brunch! Loved the Mexican inspired items like the Huevos Divorciados and the Mexican Benedict. The Huevos was full of flavour and really appreciated the toasted baguette to dip into the salasa and eggs. The hollandaise sauce for the benny was creamy and different from any other I've tried - in a good way! Service was quick and friendly. It was nice that they come around for coffee refills! read more

Easy Breakfast - West coast toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Really delicious brunch spot with which, friendly service and a clear menu to pick from. Nothing overly complicated, but flavors are definitely elevated. Home fries here are so good! Gotta love a very well herbed roasted potatoes. Not a ton of seating so try to arrive early. They'll only seat you if you're party is all here, which I think is fair considering the need for quick turn around. 100% would recommend! Get waffles to share. You can't miss them. They're absolutely delicious read more

(Closer to a 3.5). Stopped by here on a Saturday at around noon and waited around 5 to 7 minutes for a table for two. I ended up getting the eggs benedict which comes with peameal on English muffin and a side of potatoes and salad for just under 18 dollars. I found it to be a bit costly but otherwise very delicious! The potatoes were a bit bland in my opinion though, so I added extra salt and ketchup. The service was fast and our waiter was super energetic and friendly. The shop was uniquely themed and I enjoyed looking around at the different posters and merch available. Overall a good brunch place but not super spectacular. read more

A step above brunch or breakfast. Our two go-to's Huevos Divorciados and the Easy Breakfast (with Chorizo of course) are just sublime. They are incredibly highly consistent as most staff have been here for over five years or more. Tip - Cash or Debit only and tip well ;-) we need institutions like this to remain for a long-time (with the dedicated staff as well). read more

It's always difficult finding a decent breakfast spot in the Roncy area that opens early so we were happy to discover Easy Breakfast! When we arrived it was quite busy but easy for 2 of us to get a table. Someone came by right away to serve us water and coffee. We end up ordering the Mexican Rider and Huevos which were both good. Loved the bread that comes with breakfast and the potatoes were really good. We will definitely be back to try more of their menu as some of their other items look really good. read more

My husband and drove from Burlington, ON. We absolutely enjoyed the most delicious brunch. I had the Eggs Benedict and hubby had the omlette. We loved the amazing ingredients such as the the Fresh eggs, fresh squeezed orange juice and delicious toast. Thanks so much for the incredible brunch ~ Andrea and Paul read more

This place checks all my boxes and gets my seal of approval. I had Breakfast Burrito. Salad and home fries were on point, and the wrap had a generous amount of beans, eggs, and cheese, served with a scoop of guacamole. I could not get over how good the food and coffee tasted. The servers were prompt and efficient. The only issue I would bring up is that the tables were very close and there was little space. If I am in the area, I would love to come back to try their other offerings on the menu. read more

I got the West Coast Toast as did one of my girlfriends and it was delicious! I love a good Benny and it was definitely a good one. Service was good and staff was very friendly. There was a line up when we left, likely because they had to social distance between tables inside. Would definitely come back! read more

I loves me some breakfast! Who doesn't? Something about eating breakfast out at a restaurant always feels like a lot of fun. It's a good start to a day. I was really interested to try Parkdale's Easy Restaurant when I saw that blogTO had listed them as the #1 Best Huevos Rancheros in the city - one of my favourite breakfast dishes. Easy is a mainstay type of place. It has been around for 20 years and is one of those classic neighbourhood joints that everyone loves to meet up at. It's comfortable and reliable. They specialize in Tex-Mex inspired brunch options and use only high-quality ingredients. I was excited to visit on a recent Saturday morning. I've never seen the movie Easy Rider but that's exactly what this restaurant is themed after, right down to their logo and font. Basically, it's a tale of two bikers hitting the road to fuel their American dream, encompassing money, drugs, sex and violence. It was made in 1969. So imagine all of that with a side of breakfast and you can pretty much surmise the vibe at Easy Restaurant. The space is full of 60s memorabilia, movie posters, records, even a pile of old rotary phones. It's all very fun, laid-back, and campy in a great way. We were quickly seated at a table and while the room was busy, it wasn't jam-packed. The service was friendly enough with a bit of curtness that didn't bother me. The menu reflects the atmosphere of the restaurant well, offering tons of Tex-Mex options as far as the eye can see. They have have a pretty great kids menu section as well. I was also impressed at the beverage selection, which had me quite conflicted over what to order. A peanut power smoothie? Fresh squeezed orange juice? I happily settled on the Mexican Hot Chocolate (Made with arbol and ancho chilli - $4.95) because it seemed like a fitting match for the rest of my meal. It was spicy!! If you're not into spice this is not the drink for you. However, I am into spice and I really loved how bold and unapologetic this hot chocolate managed to be. The ho-cho itself was really creamy and chocolaty, with a pleasing whip on top. But it was the raging spice that made this drink unique. I loved the play between sweet and spicy and found it to really work. Keep stirring the drink as you go so that all of the spices don't settle to the bottom of the glass. As for food, I was there for one thing alone: the Huevos Divorciados (2 sunny eggs on a corn tortilla with green & red salsas, black beans. Served with guacamole, ancho jam and toasted baguette. Served with homefries and salad - $15.95). First, let's just clear up the difference between huevos racheros and huevos divorciados. They're the exact same dish, however the divorciados version involves two eggs served with a different sauce atop each egg - usually a salsa roja and a salsa verde. Which was exactly the case at Easy. The food arrived after a short wait and I was excited to dig into my plate of Mexy goodness. There are a lot of different flavours and textures involved in this dish and I think that's what draws me to it. The runny egg yolk mixes with the acidic salsa and the hearty beans, creating a perfect bite. I love the tortilla as a base that you almost forget about until just the right moment when you need something with just a bit more substance. I was very pleased with the large scoop of fresh and bright guacamole, a very welcome addition to each forkful. The most interesting item on the plate was the ancho jam, something that I've never seen before. It added a wonderful spicy, smoky, sweet element that worked really well. The homefries were fine but nothing exciting and the "salad" didn't seem to be dressed with anything at all and was essentially just a pile of dry leaves. I did however enjoy the long slabs of baguette, which served well as a vessel for scooping up every last drop on the plate. Overall this was a pretty solid example of huevos rancheros. Easy Restaurant is easy. It's comfortable and feels like the kind of spot that you might make a habit of visiting. It should be noted that they don't take credit cards as payment but cash and debit are accepted. I would certainly return to try some of the other things on the menu, as there are a bunch of other offerings that sound pretty inciting. read more

I had an early lunch today at Easy Restaurant. Easy is know for their breakfast and I was torn between having breakfast or lunch ... and went with lunch. I ordered the grass fed burger (but without the cheese, onions or peppers). There were no condiments for the burger so I used what I'm assuming was chipotle mayo on it. It was a good burger. The fries were good too. Jason was the server and he was friendly and pleasant. read more

Always a pleasure coming here and always leave satisfied! Their house coffee is delicious, their bacon is nice and crispy and their staff is always friendly! They have gluten free options which I appreciate every time, the portions will leave you full and happy! I did have one of their shakes but wasn't a fan and the price is a little steep! Otherwise, if you want a great classic breakfast with other awesome options, like gluten free waffles, this is the place to come to! Quite the gem in Toronto. Been coming here for years and don't plan on stopping! read more

Easy Restaurant is a pretty chill spot with generally good service and good (Mexican-inspired) diner food. The prices are on the high side for a diner style brunch, but the food is pretty good. I think their beef bacon is probably amongst the best I've had anywhere. ANYWHERE. Decor is inspired by old films. I probably wouldn't be a regular if I lived in the neighbourhood, but I doubt I'd ever say no if someone suggested going there. read more

I liked the diner feel with the large movie posters all over the walls. I had the West Coast Toast (2 poached eggs, smoked salmon, red onions on English muffins, with hollandaise sauce, fresh dill and black caviar - with salad or home fries). Everything was delicious, but the home fries left something to be desired. I found them pretty bland for my taste. Overall, it just wasn't memorable to me. It's a typical diner breakfast; but at $15, I wouldn't choose to come back-- too many other great options. read more

The huevos divorciados and Mexican benedict at Easy Restaurant near Dundas West station is worth the mission!

Came here for breakfast in Sunday. Lots of seats as just opened up. A bit cold inside due to the fans running. Prompt service as it wasn't that busy yet I ordered the Huevos, which are 2 eggs over tortilla and salsa side of potatoes and avocado. Overall good flavour a bit too much salsa for me. Filling which it should be for the price My husband had the Mexican Rider which he enjoyed including grilled jalapeños. Coffee was good and they kept filling it Overall was a good experience and the dishes were both pretty good. I would go back to try some of their other items read more

Been here a few times over the years. I view it more as a brunch date spot. Not to be sexist but the menu and serving sizes are female oriented.

Long standing all day breakfast emporium at the very end of Queen West. Fantastic faves like toast soldiers and huevos divorciados.... Today shared a fresh smoothie (giant glass) with eggs florentine and breakfast nachos with a side of guacamole. High ceiling space of movie poster nostalgia.

Why are so many restaurants in Parkdale closed for the summer? Our intention was to go to Mata but then found out it was closed (neither my friend nor I had the forethought to check their website and only checked yelp). So, with nowhere to go we looked up brunch spots in the area and Easy came up. Walking in, we were delighted to see the retro décor and the diner like seating. Luckily there were a few tables available despite being prime brunch time and the place being nearly full. We both got the bottomless coffee and ordered the breakfast quesadilla and burger to share. You can get both home-fries and salad on the side! Hooray! It's also notable that you can get either milk or almond milk with your coffee, free of charge! What a great place! The breakfast quesadilla was delicious! We were able to get it with both chorizo and mushrooms/caramelized onions (even though the menu said chorizo OR mushrooms etc.) along with a salad (mixed greens) and home fries on the side. The burger was a lot smaller than I was expecting and tasted okay. The fries were crispy and excellent. Portion sizes were just right for our hungry bellies. There's a small downsloping ramp leading to the washrooms. I nearly tripped on this as I wasn't anticipating the sudden drop (I'm also very clumsy). There might have been a sign but I didn't see one. Just a head's up! Parking is easily found either on the street or at the green p lot just down the street (it's small, only 33 spots). They only accept cash and debit! read more

I really wished that it had lived up to the review on BlogTO. We visited yesterday for brunch and I ordered the Quesadilla while fiance had the Steak& Eggs. Quesadilla was soggy and tasted like it had been cooked before it was left to cool in a steam room. The fries that came on the side was bearable but only with the help from Heinz (2/10). The Steak&Egg was deplorable. Fiance took a bite and commented that the beef was as far out there from "fresh". The eggs were done right and the buttered baguette was decent without complaints (3/10). Overall taste of both dishes were bland and definitely could use some kick to liven things up. We also recommend them adding in a fan or getting the AC to work. Overall rating and this is for food alone (2.5/10). read more

I'm upset, and for all the wrong reasons. being a weekly rider of the 501 queen, and often times being short turned at roncy, I've found myself looking at all the nifty stores in the area. I always looked at this restaurant and said to myself "man, I really gotta try this place, sooner then later" I finally went, and it left a bad taste in my mouth. I was the first customer of the day, literally the first customer waiting outside for the doors to open. upon coming into this restaurant it felt like going into a time warp, like being displaced into the late 80's early 90's, not a bad feeling, very nostalgic and for all the right reasons, it felt cliché at times, but very comfortable. I was told right away to pick a seat, which I did and I was brought a menu, I couldn't help but notice the pricing...and for breakfast it just seemed really really expensive. $15 or so for a decent sized meal, 7 bucks for a milkshake, and 2-5 bucks for extra sides. I looked over the menu, and I was torn between a couple of different items but I decided on an omelette(du fromage!...and other toppings), with two sides(peameal bacon and sausage). I sat and drank my water with ice, and I felt like I was being a bit of a pain, but I forgot to tell the server that I wanted no cilantro on my omelette(just incase) the server gave me a facial expression after words that I was being a pain, which made me feel worse. when my food came I was brought three plates one was my omelette with hash browns and bread, about six pieces of peameal bacon, and one sausage split in half. the reason why I'm bringing this up, the menu doesn't tell you it's one sausage split in half for $4.50 and six pieces of peameal bacon for $3.50. I felt burned...really badly. I consumed my sides without so much as a complaint. I worked on the hashbrowns, which I have had better, but given the circumstance, it was good. I moved onto my final piece of food which was the omelette, I took the first magical(or so I thought) bite and all I could taste was oil...I even went so far as to lift up the omelette and under it was just a big sloppy mess of oil. it tasted ok, once you got past the oil, I seriously wondered at the time of eating my food, as I am wondering right now, if the reason there was that much oil was because I was the first person in? or what? my plates were taken quickly as I continued on my third glass of water. I was in the zone with my music blasting in my ears and my food settling in my stomach. without any warning what so ever I was given the receipt...now I take this from the standpoint a huge negative, my opinion wasn't asked how the food was, nor was I asked if I wanted anything further...which to be honest I found to be pretty disrespectful. to paint the scene a little bit further, there were other customers that were treated in about the same fashion as I was, BUT, when three ladies came in, the server actually sat down with them, had a conversation with them, etc etc etc. I paid my bill and I left. I really wish I could rate this "easy restaurant" higher, but I feel after being repeatedly punched in the face with some of the worst customer service, my hopes for an amazing breakfast were absolutely crushed. I've vowed after this experience never to come back...and to take it a step further, eggsmart is right next door, where I have had OUTSTANDING service, at every location, and appreciates me as a customer. easy restaurant...easy on the customer service, easy on the food portions, not so easy on the wallet. WILL NEVER COME BACK. read more

Finally got down here after hearing so much about it from friends on a Saturday morning. The place quickly filled up by the time we were served our food, so it's best to get there early. The place is fairly small. We chose our seats and quickly got some coffee brought over. They serve iily as their stock coffee. I ordered the Mexican benedict ($16), whereas my husband ordered the Huevos Divorciados ($15). After waiting for a bit, a server came over to confirm what we had ordered. It wasn't a particularly long period of time, but we definitely noticed it once he checked in on us. He apologized for the kitchen issue and we kept sipping our coffee. My benedict came with a decent side salad and a smaller portion of crisp potatoes. The entire dish was flavour heaven complete with some delicious chorizo. The Heuvos came on its own but was also a large portion that was quickly eaten. When we received our bill, the server (or perhaps owner?) presented it with an apology for the wait, and took one of the meals off the bill. It was a very nice gesture considering we hadn't really thought too much of the order being 'lost' so to speak. To me, that shows the owners and/or staff really care about the customers. read more

I would definitely come back to this place. My boyfriend and I came here a couple weekends ago. He ordered the Eggs Benediction, with back bacon on English muffins, with garden salad, home fries and a grapefruit slice. The home fries were subpar. I ordered the huevos divorciados, two sunny side up eggs, with salsa Verde and regular red salsa, with a small scoop of guacamole, Ancho chili jelly, slices of baguette.... delicious. we also ordered OJ. Pretty good. Would like to come back for other menu items. read more

I come here for their huevos divorciados. Unfortunately, they have changed the way they do their beans on this dish but it remains to be delicious. This time I also tried their mini waffle deuce with fruit compote, which I'd recommend as a side to be shared! Waffles, golden brown. Real maple syrup and whip cream too! Service was also great! I'll definitely be back! Thanks easy restaurant! read more

Food: benny was pretty good. Had the chorizo one, which was a nice change of flavor. Egg was a bit runny when cut through, which I like for mixing my potatoes. The hollandaise wasn't very noticeable (better than the powdered one that's too rich). Sides looked like they had better portions in the older photos, but tasted great. Service: Table for one can be hit or miss and in my experience you sadly get common situations where table for one means attention for 1. After my meal a waitress was refilling my coffee and I asked for the bill (wasn't sure how much longer my server was going to be). I asked if they took credit, she said debit or cash. I said I'll pay debit. 2 minutes later my server dropped off the bill. Then i sat with my card on the bill waiting. I got distracted on my phone for a few minutes, but eventually started wondering where my server was. I finally got his attention and he said I had to pay at the front. This was upsetting because neither server mentioned this to me. I was sitting in a corner where I could not see people paying as evidently as I might have elsewhere. At the very least the receipt could say 'please pay at register' or something. Ambience: nice dirty retro diner feel inspired by the era of movies like Easy Rider. I'd go back because it's so close to me and has a few nice menu varieties, like a brioche French toast. read more

We were recommended to go here and they offer Mexican inspired breakfast meals with tortillas and quesadillas and the like. We tried a Mexican rider - scrambled eggs with jalepeno and chorizo dish on a tortilla that came with home fries and some salsa and sour cream. We also got an an egg white omelette. We like the food here and generous portions. No proper milk based coffees here and the food is a bit expensive. Service was efficient but could be friendlier. read more

All day breakfast? Sign me up! Had brunch here a several weekends ago and I got the Eggs Florentine and a Mexican hot chocolate. The eggs were delicious and and the home fries were the thick cut square kind that I enjoy. My hot chocolate was nice until all the spice settled to the bottom. My friends had the Heuvos Divorciados and the West Coast Toast (which is a Benedict with smoked salmon and black caviar!!). It was really packed, but we never felt rushed. We had a lovely meal, and we enjoyed the retro and eclectic (to us) decor. Honestly, I won't be coming back simply because it is out of the way for me and I found the food to be typical, but I definitely think this is a great spot in the neighbourhood. read more

It's a small diner- throwback to the 60's. If you get there at the wrong time be prepared to wait. The food is solid. Got the Huevoes Divorciado (spelling?- sorry), good but nothing special, a little soupy. They make a solid Caesar . The waitress was ok, but not very attentive, didn't bring water or check on us after we got our food and when I put the credit card down, she looked at me like I was lost, as apparently you pay up at the register- never been here I don't know, she could of mentioned it when she put the bill down. Good food, mild service. 'Meh' kind of place. Lots of other places in the city to try before I come back here. read more

We went there for breakfast and had their Huevos Divorciados and Breakfast Burrito. There's things that really stood out and things that didn't live upto the hype. The ambience was unique with its 1960s-1980s action movie pictures on the walls and the location is right near the lake at roncy and queen intersection. The waitress provided good service and the quality of food was 9/10. However, the taste ? It was a downright 2 out of 10. I wanted to know what the taste of a Mexican breakfast place is like and it wasn't good. I had a hard time finishing my breakfast. The mix of the two or atleast the way easy restaurant does it was not living upto its hype. The price was on the high end for really just some eggs and bread with some mexican dips. If you want a unique experience and good quality food this is the place to come to but if you care about the taste and price sensitive think twice. read more

Four of us dined here last Saturday at J's suggestion. Great pick! We were in the mood for breakfast. We were a bit confused about the menu. The Easy Rider Breakfast had an upgrade to Peameal bacon (which I'm not crazy about). As C put it, we wanted "real bacon." Turned out that regular bacon comes with the Easy Rider Breakfast and it was ideal. The only downside was that my eggs over medium were burned. :( Service: 4 stars Ambiance: 4 stars Cuisine: 3 stars read more

Ok, look, Yelp. We've had some good times, you know, you've recommended some great places, I've helped you out with some first reviews, its been good, its been, you know, a relationship that approaches equilibrium at times. I won't lie, there have been betrayals, there have been some letdowns, but you know, I was willing to forgive, I was always willing to move on. And then I heard about the Easy reviews. I wasn't willing to believe at first, you know how it is: your friends are jealous, inventing stories, malicious bitches.... but...but then I looked, and I knew. You had betrayed me Yelp, your aggregate review of Easy was so idiotically skewed by people who had clearly wandered in off the street with no concept of that restaurant's internal logic, the beauty of its mechanisms, the harmony of its spheres: and then, with no concern, with not even a thought for the infinity of possibility that lay outside their shallow, one-off, ill informed experience, they callously tossed off a three, two, or, god forbid, one star review, most likely forgetting the experience as soon as it was done...like some sort of horrid date rapist moving on to their next victim (yes, that's right, I totally just compared otherwise awesome Yelpists to date rapists because I disagree with their review....What?) Let me attempt to remedy the situation: One: do not fucking order Mexican breakfast from Easy. This should be basic people. Do you see Mexicans in the kitchen? Does a single fucking thing about the establishment even fucking suggest a possibility of being able to deliver Mexican food in a reasonable manner? No. No such fucking thing exists. Jesus. Get ANY OTHER GODDAMN THING on the menu and it will be awesome. Children could have figured this out if you showed them a picture of the place...what is wrong with you? Second: DO NOT GET THE MEXICAN ENTREES. Seriously. Stay the fuck away. Third: Almost everything else is awesome, the steak and eggs is wicked ( I recommend just fucking biting the bullet and going for a rare steak with poached eggs: you KNOW you want to see those yolks soak into the blood like some sort of Yellow/Red abstract expressionist piece) Fourth: seriously, like, everything else is awesome: the toast is brilliant (if you aren't starving toast soldiers is awesome), the roasted tomatoes are perfect, the west coast toast is the best seafood oriented benny in the city BY FAR (caviar and smoked salmon), the sausages are brilliant...fuck...its all so good. Seriously Yelp, realize you made a deeply idiotic menu choice, return to the scene of the crime, and make some apologies... OK, last time but, fucking Mexican entrees at a diner themed around 60's Hollywood film...WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!!!????? read more

Toast. Soldiers. Carmen, the greatest server ever to walk the face of my breakfast, was a major hilight of eating here after a disappointing attempt to brunch at Saving Grace. Kat and I were on one of our patented "I work at home" weekday brunch adventures and we ended up at Easy after 2 hours worth of non errand related stops on the west side. I was legitimately fading into hangry (hungry + angry, tm Beth L 2001) status and after grabbing a red mocha at Ella's Uncle (which took forever but was worth the wait) we ended up at here. The best: - Carmen. Carman? However it's spelled... she turned my hangry into happy within 2 minutes of arrival with her surly hipster attitude towards the other patrons. I want to be friends with her and hew new lighthouse tattoo. She said that I couldn't have freshly squeezed grapefruit juice because the bastards at the other table took it all but brought me OJ instead. The second best: - Toast soldiers came with a SOLDIER that had camouflaged himself with my hashbrowns. Amazing. I have to say, Carmen must be my favorite server ever to top a toy soldier coming with my food. That's practically un-toppable, The good; - Everything was good. I had an amazing time at Easy and I enjoyed my food a lot. - I had toast soldiers. Yes, TOAST SOLDIERS. It is my dream breakfast. It comes with soft boiled eggs (which I of course substituted for soft poached), hashbrowns, fruit and toast cut up into strips for dipping. - We brought our coffees in from another place (I wouldn't normally do this but it was just bad timing that I still had half a coffee left when we arrived here) and they were totally cool about it - no questions, no problems. - The people across the aisle from me and I got to chatting about the smoothies and they were heartily recommended The bad: - This place is in parkdale. That's really far from my house. - Toast Soldiers does not come with bacon. You can add it, but I wish it came with it. - I bet there is a line on the weekend and I bet it's a long line. Would I ever go here again? Yes I would. But not if there was a line. Maybe if the line was short line and I saw Carmen. I'm going to strive for weekdays only. read more

I am re - reviewing the places I have returned to after a year away from the country. This time I will keep things simple.

I gave this place a good go, you know what I mean? I've been twice. The first time the service was bad and slow. Second time, the service hadn't changed and the food was as mediocre as I remembered. I'm not saying it's terrible; the food isn't bad but it doesn't exactly surpass a place like Golden Griddle, and for the price, I expected it to. The last time I went my homefries tasted like they had been sitting out for a while. The only good things I can really say about this place is their menu is nice looking, the place is nice looking, and the coffee is good. read more
