Foods are not very delicious / not very clean / smoke smells too much in the restaurant/

This is a classic diner that was perfect what I needed! A quick delicious breakfast. They were super fast and this omelette was great! The waitress was incredibly kind. If you're craving diner food this is the place to go. I went on a weekday morning and it was pretty empty, sat right away! Highly recommend! read more

Good Bite Restaurant - Omelette - Diners Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Good Bite Do I Recommend? Yes, the quality of the food is great, but the quantity is slightly small. Their service quality is really slow when they get busy. How is the service? The service is below average, when they get busy they are pretty slow at reacting. otherwise service is pretty average. How is the food? Coffee has no dairy free option. so that is a downside for people who are lactose intolerant Food is great, in terms of quality I would give it in general 4.8 out of 5, but in terms of quantity I would give it 4 out of 5. If you by nature eat a bit more, you almost need two orders to fill you up. Menu https://cdn.me-qr.com/jpg/737188.jpg read more

I've been to this place many times over the years and it's always been a good breakfast option. Omelettes are pretty good, fresh, tasty. The service is pretty good if they are not too busy, but if they are busy it slows down but that's never been an issue. I would say it's a bit over-priced. But overall a really good spot for breakfast. read more

Good Bite Restaurant - Veggie omelette - Diners Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Cute diner, but easy to miss. Very old school and homey. The home fries were done perfectly, and I highly recommend getting the liver sandwich! The pancakes look beautiful, and I hope to try that next time. Seating is pretty cramped, however. Try to get a booth if you want more space. Everything was reasonably priced. They even have a kids menu! A traditional brunch, one of the best in the area if you're looking for a home style brunch, nothing too hipster ;) read more

Good Bite Restaurant - Omelette with potatoes and toast - Diners Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Had a Cheeseburger thinking can't go wrong. Big mistake it was really awful snd $18. Such a disappointing and a rip off for a frozen patty

My girlfriend and I were looking for a place for brunch. The first place we went to had a line. I suggest a mom and pop diner that I haven't been to in awhile. It was busy, and only the front diner area was available. We sat and we could tell the staff was bustling. Took while to get a menu, but once we were served the drinks and food came fast. My girlfriend ordered a bacon grilled cheese and I order the standard breakfast: two eggs, bacon, homefries, toast and coffee for $9.50. My breakfast was fantastic. Eggs cooked perfectly, Bacon was crispy and good toast. The only issue was were the potatoes were frozen and under seasoned. Ketchup helped. My girlfriend loved her grilled cheese. She asked for her bacon to be extra crispy and it came that way as expected. I would definitely return to Good Bite diner. It has a great family/greasy spoon vibe. Nothing beats a good greasy breakfast. It would be a 5 if they upgrade the potatoes. read more

Good Bite Restaurant - Diners Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Have passed by this place numerous times over the years - it stands out from all the expensive restaurants and chic shops in the area. It's a greasy spoon that serves your usual greasy spoon staples like breakfast and burgers. A pal and I were going to go for breakfast at another resto down the street, but they weren't open yet (and wouldn't be open for another thirty minutes). As a result, we decided to walk around and look for a place that we could go into right away. We were seated right away in a booth; it's not too big and seating is probably limited to 40 people max. I had the corned beef omelette with whole wheat toast and tea. For $10, I was pretty impressed with the amount of food I got. As for the quality/taste, I would definitely say that it's a-ok; it won't be the last meal on earth for me, but it also wasn't terrible. Service was pretty good; and the food came out quickly. Good for: cheap eat, breakfast, lunch read more

Good Bite Restaurant - Corned beef hash omelette - Diners Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

For the price, the souvlaki dinner is a disappointment. The souvlaki was dry and there was no sauce on the salad for some reason (bottle of sauce provided separately). I would probably go with some of the other choices on the menu next time I come. Service is good, but the food is a little slow for larger groups. It's also very hard to seat a larger group sometimes too because of the small size of the restaurant. read more

Good Bite Restaurant - souvlaki dinner - Diners Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Good Bite definitely is what you would call an old school, diner type of restaurant. Comfy booths and your typical old but kind waitress working the tables. No frills/fuss comes to mind with extremely reasonable prices. My flight came into insanely early so we went to get a bite to eat. We were the only ones there on a Monday morning (7am) but the two working there were friendly and greeted us immediately. Apparently, this place is great for souvlakis but only breakfast menu (7-11:30am) was available at that time. We ordered: - 2 eggs with sausage ($7.95) - ordered eggs over-easy which were done nicely. Dish also came with home fries (potatoes) and two pieces of bread (buttered). Surprisingly, everything was tasty and not overly greasy. Definitely hit the spot for both of us. - 3 eggs with sausage ($8.95) - my buddy pretty much had the same with the extra egg. He devoured his dish before you could blink. Anyways, I'm not the biggest fan of breakfast joints but this one fit the bill. Fast service, friendly staff and cheaaaap dishes. They also had several different omeletes, pancakes and french toast on the menu if they typical eggs/bacon/ham/sausage doesn't catch your eye. read more

Your local mom and pop diner with a nice retro feel to it. Booths throughout and stools at the counter. Extensive breakfast and brunch menu. We ordered sandwiches as it was close to lunch. We both had the soup of day which was a lentil soup. The Grilled cheese with bacon was sadly made with kraft singles cheese. I was recommended the bacon, tomato sandwich, which was pretty good but small. The slices were the size of Wonder bread slices. It was affordable but portions were small. The service was very fast. read more

Sometimes you just want a good old-fashioned, greasy diner meal and Good Bite does not disappoint. The place looks like it hasn't been renovated in decades and the staff is all at retirement age. It's fantastic. I decided to go with the corned beef hash. I was asked how I wanted the eggs cooked (overeasy, always overeasy) and if I wanted white or brown toast (obviously white). The food arrived impressively fast and was clearly fresh off the grill. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the hash itself was delicious (although I could've used a few more crispy bits). The accompanying home fries were just so-so, but they were much improved with a little ketchup. Good Bite'll never be mistaken for gourmet fare, but it does what it does exceedingly well. read more

Simple diner but delicious food. Exactly what we were looking for! Excellent service!

I was visiting the area, looking for an old-fashioned kind of diner to take my grown-up daughters to. I had searched the Yelp reviews in the area but found that most were Greek, Italian, Asian, Portuguese and even a restaurant to satisfy someone with a Chef's palate. What I was seeking was a "Greasy Spoon Diner" and that is exactly what I got! (Minus the grease)! Unfortunately, this diner was exactly what droves of other patrons were seeking also as the decibels of voices made it difficult for us to communicate without raising our own voices to communicate with each other. But the food and service was was exactly what we wanted! I ordered the calves liver with bacon and Onions and it was the best I'd ever had! It's hard to find a place that serves such good quality of liver anywhere these days! My daughters had the traditional eggs/ crispy great quality bacon/ peamealed back bacon, eggs cooked to perfection. It was a very hot and humid day and the front door stayed open. At first I was wary that it might be too hot and stuffy inside but the fans kept the air circulating and we felt very comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. We found that if we just "leaned in" and spoke to each other, the booths sheltered our conversations. I took note that all of the patrons enjoyed themselves immensely and went away making note to myself to come back again in the near future. read more

Goodbite has a good variety of food choices on their menu. I have ordered their great breakfasts and burger/fries more often than other dishes. The quality of the food is also consistant. read more

Good Bite Restaurant - the front of the restaurant - Diners Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Read the reviews said was a good place for breakfast so why not order the famous breakfast boy when I saw it wasn't what I expected. When she asked for the money paid over eleven dollars for this breakfast asked the lady paying for this month rent? Don't believe all reviews are good better of going to A&W breakfast alot cheaper. Won't be coming here any time soon. Should had the lady where's the chicken would have squeezed another egg from that chicken lol. read more

Good Bite Restaurant - Diners Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Have come here the last 2 times and ordered an omelette. The servings are quite small for the price, food is good, but I'll be looking for another breakfast spot in the area. There are several similar comments here about the portions, it's unfortunate they don't improve on this. read more

*** Second Visit Update *** Took two friends back this morning (OK, OK, around noon). Barely beat the rush - they were jammed right after we got there. Even then, breakfast was fantastic, although coffee refills were a little harder to come by. Maybe bring your own really big cup. read more

Good breakfast. Fairly inexpensive. 10 for 3 eggs and sausage. Wasn't anything special but it still tasted good. Their home fries didn't make me hate them so that's a plus. I'm usually never fan, some are decent but I had my fair share I didn't like So all in all good meal, not too costly. read more

Good Bite Restaurant - Diners Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

My family has been coming here since I was in high school! Their friendly service and generous portions make this a neighborhood gem. Breakfast is their specialty. However, one point of constructive criticism, is that they could afford to have some aesthetic upgrades. In 25 years, nothing has been updated/renovated. read more

Fantastic fast food. Very very well priced food. Super friendly staff. Been going here for years. They close early tho... read more

A great place, excellent personal service and very good food. The beef and barley soup they serve mainly on Thursdays, is, undoubtedly , the best I personally have ever had and so is their roasted pork which the serve about once in two weeks, also on Thursdays and their beef liver. The chocolate pudding dessert is also very good and very recommended. The music in the background of the 740 radio station adds to the atmosphere. I've been with this place for almost 9 years, and was never disappointed. Bottom line, very good food, and especially great fast personal service. I wish you further success and many more years. All the best and thanks for everything. Eytan Bloom, Toronto, Canada read more

I had one of the worst omelettes ever, here. I ordered the tomato and feta cheese omelette. It was overcooked when it arrived (brown and crusty). I searched for feta cheese in my omelette and found that my feta was in the omelette my won had ordered! I mentioned it to the server who asked ME if I wanted him to "yell at the cook". I expected to be compensated for a very crappy omelette,but when I went to pay, he charged me full price! Additionally the potatoes on the side were hard, old and cold. Very chalky tasting. So i basically paid $15 for 2 pieces of toast. Trust me, I will never go there again, and I do not recommend this place. The bathroom smelled like a pisspot as well. And the benches were sticky. I suggest looking for another diner, even for just plain eggs. read more

Service was friendly and polite and they provide a decent breakfast at a reasonable price. I love Eggs Benedict but their béchamel sauce tasted very commercial or like they add mayonnaise to it and I found it unappetizing. It was like the Velveeta of béchamel. I would not order these again. The homefries are not made of hand-cut potatoes but come more likely from a plastic bag. They're still pretty good and perfectly fried. If you want a bare bones greasy spoon, this is a decent place. I would stick yo a basic breakfast or omelette. read more

If I wrote mystery novels instead of Yelp reviews, and I were the hereo; say, a disgruntled ex-lawyer or crusty private eye, I would use the Good Bite diner as a frequent scene for rendez-vous with dirty cops, damsels in distress, and maybe the odd suspect or two. It's pretty much an archetypal diner: brutally lit, enrobed in green vinyl, with sour-faced servers who peddle decently burnt coffee and eggs fried just past the requested over easy. Service is quick, if not friendly; a laminated menu pressed into your hand nd a slighlty chipped mug slammed down in front of you before you spit out the '...fee" in "coffee". Come for the show more than the food; the ancient cook at front sweating over the flat-top, narrowly avoiding extra saline in the home fires (which aren't bad, when they're not underdone--stick with french fries). If you arrive before the place opens, you might even catch him bumming a smoke at the stove. Bacon is delightfully crisp; sausages pleasently plump; toast is industrial, but comes slathered in butter. The whole joint sets you back about 10 bucks. A club sandwich is good, solid food. A burger no better or worse than you'd get anywehre else in the city. But as a place to bring your favourite Kellerman, Patterson or Connelly mystery and enjoy a cup or five, it's great. read more

Mom and Pop with a old time Diner feel. The staff here is adorable! Super nice and accommodating in their own own way. The place itself is a little dated and the seats are kinda hard and small (ie... If you're more voluptuous get a table not the attached to the wall ones). You can see the main (only grill) from the dining area. The food is Diner food. Nothing fancy. Wonder bread style toast. Steaks you could buy at metro. Home fries from frozen. But if you go in not looking for fancy but food from a DINER... You'll be happy. I basically gave this place 5 stars because of the staff. So. Cute!! read more

I just love places that have been in the neighborhood for over 40 years. It means 1. they have amazing food 2. the prices are decent 3. the service is good. Good Bite has all of these elements. I had 3 eggs poached (to perfection), sausage, ham, toast, homefries and a coffee for $6. The portion size was huge! I also think the lost art of Ham was revitalized be adding it to the meal. The grease not only lined my stomach, but also lined the plate afterwards! Sounds gross, but when your in the mood for something greasy this is the place to go. The staff (2 cooks serve as the chef and service) were great, and what you would expect from a place like this. There is about 7 tables, and a sit up bar inside. Sunday morning blues can be left behind with an amazing breakfast from Good Bite. read more

I'm so happy that a genuine "greasy spoon" can survive in such a trendy and high-maintenance neighbourhood (Yonge and Eglinton). I've lived in this neighbourhood for 15 years and have been coming here for at least a decade. Great omelettes and home fries, fresh coffee with free refills, and wonderful peameal bacon. So many of us are weekend regulars that the staff (all longtime employees) recognize and chat with us. All that for less than $10/person? Why go anywhere else for breakfast/brunch? In fact, why not go for dinner, too? read more

Forgot to rate this place when we ate here ages ago. I hadn't been here for 20 years, but it used to be a regular place when I lived in the area. i like the true diner vibe of this place with an open kitchen and counter. I remember the food as being average, but my friends don't have good memories. Sorry I can't be more specific as memory fails, but it's a good greasy spoon option if you're tired of Mars down the road. read more

I recently spent a weekend in Toronto and we visited Good Bite our first morning in Toronto. For this being in a larger city, I was expecting much more and found this place to be mediocre at best. It is a typical "mom & pop" dive diner. The place is fairly small and the booth we sat in was cramped for four grown adults. Good luck having a conversation as this place it is quite noisey. The food here is bland. I ordered a Greek omelet and it was nowhere near being Greek. The eggs were runny, had little feta cheese and the only vegetable was tomatoes. By comparison, other Greek omelets I have had at other eateries generally consist of eggs, feta, black olives, tomatoes, and spinach. The coffee I ordered came in very small cups, after two sips my cup was empty and the waitress only came back once or twice to refill it. The cost for the meal was also sort of pricey, besides my omelet, I had a side of bacon. So for the omelet that came with toast, bacon and coffee the meal came to just around $20. For that price, I could of stayed at my hotel and ordered room service or had dinner in the hotel cafe. I guess even though we Americans have our faults, I can at least say we can and know how to eat well !!! read more

I understand greasy diner food and completely embrace it. But this was disappointingly dismal. $9 for frozen sausages, lackluster scrambled eggs and mushy-not-tasty potatoes? Ehhh, pass. Nice folks and good service, but it shouldn't have cost more than $5...and the food was just not good. Sorry read more

After too much vodka last night, I crawled out of bed and went straight to Good Bite. Good thing I am a morning person and arrived early (8:45 or so) because I managed to score a booth. By the time that I left an hour later, the place was rocking and there were 4 or 5 people waiting in line for tables. This is a standard greasy diner which has been in the area for decades. For $11 (including tax and tip) I had 2 fried eggs, peameal bacon, home fries, toast, and bottomless coffee. The breakfast menu is pretty straight forward with just a few variations of the standard breakfast (such as what I ordered), plus a good selection of omelettes, and your basic pancakes and french toast offerings. My breakfast was hot and tasty, greasy but not overly so, and there was so much of it that I left stuffed. I also was impressed that my food was sitting in front of me less than 10 minutes after ordering. Unlike nearby Mars Uptown Diner (probably Good Bite's only serious competition in the area), the service was actually friendly and unhurried. Although the coffee cups are small, I never saw the bottom! A tip for you though - they do not bring you a bill - go to the front to pay when you're ready. read more

A family ran dinner One of my favorite places. Great personal treatment and great food as well. Their beef and barley soup is the best I've ever had. Delicious roastpork, about once in two weeks. Delicious beef liver, one of their best and the best I had. And,again, great personal service. I've been with them for almost nine years and very happy. Wish you many more years and customers. read more

I eat here quite often. I usually get bacon and eggs and it's great. It's a quiet diner, food is served fast and fresh. The price is fair and service is excellent. It's the most basic bacon and eggs that comes with toast and home fries. My only minor issue is with the homefries. They're deep fried potato cubes, not my favourite but it does the trick. Its very busy during the mornings on the weekends but on the week days you can just walk in and take a seat and get your food fast. I've had thanksgiving dinner there twice, it's very affordable and tasty. Comes with all the fixings, the cranberry sauce side is a little small and have to ask for extra other than that it's great. read more

When a restaurants is quiet on a Friday night, you'd have to think there's something wrong with the food or the service...Good Bite looks like it's seen better days. Having walked by and vaguely interested in breakfast for dinner, we were promptly seated and the waitress gave us water and menus right away. The green vinyl seats and the bleary eyed cook behind the grill instantly made me think of a old-time greasy spoon, the kind you'd see in a 50s movie. The music playing really helped to emphasize the nostalgic feel. I chose a western omelet with their home fries. I was kinda excited because the smell of grease was making me hungry, this was like a very homey version of Fran's (I thought to myself). Then I took a sip of water and I wanted to get out of there (the glass of water was cold, but everything tasted soapy...I was thirsty and mortified). The food arrived quickly and thankfully did not taste of soap, just layered in grease, which was welcome. The omelet was slightly overcooked (on the dry side), but the "home fries" were decent...somewhat crispy outside and soft on the inside...it all could have used a bit of a kick, but otherwise I was mostly glad I wasn't eating soap for dinner -- not really my idea of cleansing the palate! read more

The Good Bite is a classic diner that looks like a snapshot of the mid 20th century that continues to satisfy. They stick to diner fare, and do it quite well. Now, I'm not much of a breakfast food person. For me, breakfast is either cold cereal, cold yogurt or cold leftovers. However, The Good Bite does diner lunch quite well. My personal favourite is the club sandwich. Coming in at only $9.95 (3 decker sandwich plus a generous side of fries), it is a good deal too. It features real, cold , roasted turkey breast instead of deli-sliced turkey breast-ish roll. It also features crisp bacon and iceberg lettuce and thick, never mealy tomato slices. Mayo arrives on the side. The accompanying fries, although frozen, are freshly dropped to order and always come out crispy. The service is also excellent. As soon as you arrive, you take your seat, and almost before you land on the green bench or stool, you will have cutlery, a menu and a glass of water which you will rarely, if ever, see empty. The servers are extremely friendly and attentive. When you're done, you simply go up to the register and pay. The Good Bite, ultimately is simple diner done right, and if you know what to expect (not Kobe beef, or infused anything) you'll definitely enjoy it! read more

Sick of Cora's (seriously), we went searching for a proper, greasy diner. Good Bite is in the neighborhood we needed to be in, so we head out in search of all day breakfast. Parking can be slightly tricky. It's street parking, so it's hit or miss. We got lucky. The tables are pretty small. We had 5 people in our group and it was a tight squeeze. The menu is pretty standard. Old Greek women seem to have the service handled, never letting your coffee cup even come close to being empty. We ordered eggs and bacon and eggs and sausage. Both came out exactly as ordered. Bacon was yummy and crispy. Hashbrowns were basic. Toast satisfactory. The two ancient Greek men doing the cooking were A) pretty old and B) seriously fast. It took no more than 10 minutes to place the order and get our food. They also didn't rush us along or kick us out. We might not make a trip simply to visit Good Bite, but we would definitely go back if in the neighborhood. read more

This place must have been around for a while. Everything inside needs to soon retire; the furniture, the tableware even the waitresses look exhausted. I noticed that they use the cheapest bread you can find in the market, the kind they sell at the dollar store. The food is greasy, the egg whites in my eggs were runny and my bacon turned into ashes when I poked it with my fork. Nothing about this place was attractive to me :( read more

This is my favourite place in the neighbourhood for breakfast or brunch. You can't go wrong with any of their breakfast choices. It's cheap, tasty and the service is super friendly. What more can one wish for? You've got to check out this place if you're in the neighbourhood and craving some comfort food. I doubt you'll be disappointed ;) read more

Good Bite Restaurant - Peameal bacon, 2 eggs and salad - $10. Delicious and filling. - Diners Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I found Good Bite Restaurant while searching for a good, classic diner in Toronto. The burgers, strawberry milkshake, and prices are all pretty good, but the fries were nothing special and the poutine gravy tasted very unusual. Not a bad diner at all, but on the other hand, I'm not terribly eager to go back. read more
