I really enjoyed this small town diner, as it retains all the elements of a neighbourhood institution. The owner still comes around with a pot of coffee to top up your cup. We came for a weekend lunch and shared the cabbage roll and roast beef dip sandwich. Both were hearty and delicious. I would definitely recommend a spot if you are in the area and needing a good meal. read more

UPDATE* 2025 Haven't been back for some time and unfortunately we were really disappointed. Eggs Benedict had to be sent back for snotty eggs; the dish was returned with dry overcooked eggs and tough as nails peameal and English muffin. Western omelette was 1/2 the size of the original and was way over cooked - gave up on returning this dish as I didn't have faith in the kitchen...we waited approximately 35 minutes for our simple and standard meals as it was. Not likely to return. read more

The Fickle Pickle! I looked up diner in my Pictionary and there was a picture of this restaurant. The classic open kitchen diner. Large portions and warm friendly service. Caesar was a very good server. Service was prompt even though the restaurant was full. The spinach feta spinach omelette ingredients were well balanced. The fickle pickle was my resolution for that Sunday hunger. read more

First time visit this place and love it. It's hard for everyone during this pandemic time so will definitely support the locals. Tried their pancakes and crab cake egg benedict which are recommended, and love them both! Will definitely come back for more. Their portion, value, and customer service are all excellent. Menu is so big that will need to visit a few times to try them all! Glad that I found this place for brunch menu read more

First time trying this family restaurant. They open on Civic Holiday and gave us an excellent opportunity to enjoy our patio breakfast on a relaxing civic holiday morning. They have about 10 seats outside as patio seating. We called to reserve a table for 2 at the patio. It wasn't too hot in the morning and the street is not too busy during the civic holiday, so the street noisy level is good. However, there are few annoying flys keep flying around the table, but this is just nature if we chose to seat outside, nd the restaurant cannot do nothing about it. I orderd the Crab cake Egg Benedict and my wife ordered Flickel pickle Breakfast poutine. Coffee and Decaffeinated coffee are extra $2.25 extra with free refills. Food arrived around 10 minutes later and both dishes taste great. Big portion with the potatoes on the side on my Benedict. Price are reasonable, service were great. Plenty of street parking when they were there. We will definitely go come to try out their dinner or brunches. read more

I had high hopes that were quickly erased when the my order for an egg white omelette came as a regular one and the remake was rushed and under cooked. Listening to a customers order is the most important aspect of a restaurant experience. This one didn't work out. read more

The service here is excellent, and the food is pretty good, but what I don't like is that there is no transparency when it comes to pricing. I ordered the steak and eggs combo, and asked for my eggs poached and asked for some hollandaise sauce as well to make it a steak and eggs Benny, if you will Orig price: 13.95 - reasonable But after getting the bill I noticed that they charged $1 for poaching the eggs, which is a little absurd if you ask me, and another $2 for the hollandaise sauce... The original price of $13.95 the breakfast was definitely worth it, but after the additional fees almost $20 its a little excessive I guess it was my mistake for not asking if there were any additional charge so shame on me I guess Overall quick and good service with good food I'll probably go back and try one of the sandwiches- unlikely to be hidden fees with that right? read more

This is a great place to get breakfast lunch or dinner! We love getting the souvlaki platter and the eggs Benny!! I totally recommend the fickle pickle and Thanks for being part of our great community! read more

Fantastic food - stopped in for breakfast I was not let down - generous portions Great servers You will not be disappointed read more

I had the eggs benedict on a sunny Saturday morning. When we got there, the restaurant wasn't too busy so we were seated quickly and our service was quick. We found this place initially because we thought Red Bulb did brunches but nothing hot like what we were looking for. The food was decent - I found the pea meal bacon super sweet which threw me off. I couldn't taste the hollandaise sauce despite an overload of it on my eggs benedict. The potatoes were good - no complaints. Not sure if I'd come back to this place simply because I am rarely up in Stoufville and if I am, I would prefer to try different coffee places as there was an abundance to choose from on Main St. read more

Food was okay...the server was very monotone with us. I wasn't really impressed but willing to give it another shot in the future

Advertised as a "family restaurant" but would not allow our sleeping baby come in with a stroller. In order to eat there you'd need to fold up the stroller. No space they said, the place was essentially empty. Won't be eating there again. read more

Great greasy spoon diner. Huge menu, lots of options for lunch and breakfast. Even though the menu is so big, they will do any substitutions, add ons with no problems! Egg bennies are a highlight. I had the breakfast wrap (added tomatoes and lettuce) which was great. Fries are extra crispy. Excellent fries pickles. Yum! Great service too. Recommend! read more

Had to be in Stouffville for the morning and decided to pop in to try their breakfast. To be honest, this is your standard run of the mill diner. Previously frozen sausages, small eggs, Demptsers bread and OK home fries. There's really nothing to write home about. It's a perfectly good breakfast at a reasonable price if you're not looking for something impressive. Service was courteous, fast and what you'd expect. Quality of food was alright. Overall a solid 3 stars. Don't expect to have your socks blown off - but that's not what they advertise but a little effort would be nice. read more

We found this place during our mini road trip and enjoyed a nice breakfast. Really good atmosphere and friendly staff. The place was absolutely packed and I'm sure the dinner service is just as good, it has a different special everyday. It's better than Cora's breakfast and more reasonably priced too. Would come again if we passed by. Full of locals. Owner is a nice old man. Side note: restrooms are dirty but that's not what you're here for is it. read more

I am glad I found a nice local spot to grab some hearty breakfast. My go to order is the ham and cheese omlette which comes with your choice of toast and home fries. The omlette is fully loaded with generous amounts of cheese and ham and the home fries are very well seasoned and cooked perfectly. I also had the Pickle slam which comes with pancakes, home fries, bacon, sausages, ham and eggs. It kept me full the entire day and was some serious hearty goodness. They defintely do not skimp on the portions. read more

I'm living at Stouffville. One of my favorite restaurants in Stouffville.

Stopped for dinner while on route. Definitely worth the stop from a family dining perspective. Parked on street outside the restaurant in downtown Stouffville. Menu offered a good selection of food choice. Portions were fairly large & good quality. Daily specials are worth considering. read more

This used to be one of our favorite places to go for weekend brunch or casual dinner. The quality and portion have decreased over the year. It's still a decent place if you want a casual meal or too lazy to cook. This visit, my hubby had the 5 oz steak which came with sauteed mushrooms, garlic bread, potato of your choice, and steamed veggies for $17. This is good value; not the best steak but its very fair for the price they charged. Mushroom was sauteed with garlic and butter, delish. Steamed veggies were too boring and a bit soggy. I had the pot roast (feature menu for the night). It came with potato of choice, soup and steamed veggies for only $14. It was okay; good value. Overall, price is fair. Service is friendly. Food quality is okay to good. read more

Went there yesterday with my husband, his cousin, and his wife. It was actually our second time to go there. First time we went there almost a year ago. That time, the experience was very good, because the food was good and the portion huge. I ordered Leg of Lamb which the size was almost half of my head and it came with a tasty mint jelly as a sauce. The lamb was juicy and the memory was amazing. Me and my husband has been craving for the lamb, but was unable to go there again due to our far distance. Finally yesterday we had opportunity to go there again, but this time, it was little disappointing. There were no lamb and according the server, it was only available for promotional time. Well, because we were already there, might as well give it a try for their other dishes. They usually write their specials on the blackboard hang on walls and that's the place we usually start looking for our food options. This time I ordered one of their specials: Pot Roast Beef which came with soup of the day, which was too salty. The portion size was greatly reduced and the side of roasted potatoes was too soft and watery. there were only two small slices of roast beef. Compared to the lamb we had, the meat portion was less. I also ordered chocolate milk shake, but the milk shake was not thick and the ice cream was melted to become watery at the half way of the dinner. My husband ordered two pounds of chicken wings with fries and the wings just tasted like a regular wing, not too special. I really hope they could go back to their previous quality and portions or at least have better roasted potatoes and little more meat. read more

If you really have no other choice, this could be the last stop to fill your stomach. Potatoes are stale like being hold in a plate for an hour in a buffet. And if you don't bother to ruin your happy mood in the morning, try the "service" from the negative grumpy granny. read more

We just came home from the fickle pickle... notice that we came home and didn't eat... The restaurant seated us at a table then made us wait with our 4 month old for 15-20 minutes before serving us at all. When they finally took our order souvlaki and steak sandwich the server brought my salad and then 20-30 minutes later we noticed our food under the beat lamp. then it sat there for another 10 minutes drying the pork to inedible cubes. True it was close to closing time and having worked in a restaurant myself I understand cleaning up and prepping for the next day (BTW you aren't supposed to leave cutlery and plates on tables overnight.). But ignoring customers letting their food get ruined under the heat lamp lead to them walking out. And another tip as a waiter don't complain about someone leaving and not paying if you wouldn't eat it at home or worse asking me to pay and take it with me. You can take out your own refuse I'm not paying to take it with me. read more

I eat here from time to time breakfast is always great, food always tastes fresh, the home fries are definitely made with fresh potatoes probably hand cut, and they taste healthy and not greasy. Portions are large for the price, today I ordered corn beef omelette and home fries with an extra side of home fries for 18 bucks. Definitely recommended, food is definitely made fresh and I haven't ever waited longer than 20 minutes from the time I ordered my food. read more

Friends brought me for lunch on a Saturday. We beat the rush, and by the end of our meal the restaurant was full. A mixture of Greek and good diner food, priced right. We started with Garlic Bread and cheese that came out nicely toasted in six pieces. I had a Philly Cheese-steak sandwich which bulged with meat, topped with real cheese. I chose the salad instead of fries. My friends had chicken fingers and a chicken club with fries. Good sized portions. Really good service. Free pop refills. Lunch for 3 was under $40 before taxes and tip. A number of families and a large group were also accommodated without problem. Three stairs in and three stairs up to the very clean washrooms. Recommended. read more

On the way to the Stoufville Country Market, we decided to stop here for breakfast. The breakfast foods were typical and nothing to write home about. The prices were very high. My breakfast of 3 eggs, 2 sausages, 2 bacon, 1 ham, home fries and toast was $10! We went at 8am and there were no early bird specials! Bottomless coffee was also included in the breakfast, except it was almost impossible to hunt down our server to get refills. We were only able to get 1 refill during the time we were there! This was a very typical breakfast and it's nothing special. read more

What a wonderful place to enjoy delicious Greek food. The serving sizes are so large and our party enjoyed a variety of delicious Greek Dinners. I use to live in Kato Patisia Athens Greece, and the Mousaka was just like something found on my Kato Patisia streets. read more

I was served the worst breakfast I have ever had. The ham, bacon and sausages that came with this breakfast were so greasy ( and cheap quality), I had to take a napkin to wipe them off. The eggs were over done, when I asked for soft yokes. The home fries were deep fried and greasy tasting, as well. The price for the breakfast was very high for the quality. Other restaurants are much cheaper and better quality. Would not recommend this restaurant for breakfast. read more
