August 9/2024: Dinner with Beth/Bob & my Al. This was not good people. The start was a disaster. The tap beer was both warm & flat. I tried 2 different beers & they were both the same. Our server said the French fries were hand cut at the restaurant...they weren't. She said the fish was hand made at the restaurant...it wasn't. This is dishonest business & it's not appreciated by this customer. I won't be coming back again. read more

Stopped in one night for take out when I was craving a good burger, first time visiting, was right at closing time but the server and cook were friendly and helpful, burger was excellent, fries too. I would go back, location is nice as other reviewers have said, right on highway 10 and king road, I pass by on to the way to the caledon trail or Ken Whillans conservation area several times a week (great easy hiking by the way), attached to esso station with always low gas prices and a decent convenience shop with lcbo. I hope with community support this small business thrives. read more

Nice local restaurant. Great ambiance and friendly staff. Waitress was very attentive and came by several time to ask if we needed anything. Food was good, large portions. Would recommend the Haddock fish and chips. read more

I'll start by saying the staff seemed very friendly. That's where the positives end, though. While we waited for our food, my kid entertained himself by killing flies. That should have been enough of a warning sign. The food was appalling. I'm talking, the potential to be one of the best ever episodes of "Kitchen Nightmares". Greasy, wet tacos, salsa that I think had gone moldy, a chicken sandwich made from frozen store bought nuggets. A "power bowl" that mixed frozen vegetables and hot grains into a soggy mess. If you end up here, stick to something simple like a burger, I guess? read more

I've pre ordered for pick up, I've sat and ate and even ordered & waited. They are fast, fresh and newly renovated. A simple easy pit stop. Great customer service. Attached to low esso fuel pricing, the mini LCBO & convenience store it's a one stop shopping for me on my way to the camper. read more

I recommend the chicken Cesar wrap. With my route to my camper/work this stop is great. They recently renovated not just the interior but the menu as well. The restaurant is set in a mini plaza that also holds an Esso station with always low fuel prices, a corner store and a mini LCBO. One stop shopping for any traveler. Stop by and enjoy a fresh cooed meal, top up your fuel, grab snacks for the trip and beverages for the final destination. read more

Ambience is not great, and really to be expected from a gas station restaurant. Food was not great tasting, omelets were a bit overdone.

This place is terrible. I witnessed video of the dishwasher washing the dishes with the dirty water from the cups that are dumped out in the sink before they are put in the dishwasher, then putting them straight in the shelf for the kitchen to use, without soap and just a rinse. I also witnessed food in pots cooling off on the floor for the whole night shit and put in the fridge by being pushed with someone's foot into the fridge without even picking it up. I also worked here for 3 weeks almost 4 months ago and still have not been payed. I am so happy I never ate here and happy that I saw what I did because I never will. No one should support a business that doesn't pay their employees. Real big disappointment and huge lack of Update: I finally got paid 7 hours short and 5 months later. Sad and disappointed that a community place can operate like this. read more

Great place for a quick bite to eat. I had the Triple Decker Chicken Club was so good with sweet potato fries. Convenient location on King and Hwy.10. Small restaurant but quality in the food for sure. read more

Red Onion - Triple Decker Chicken Club. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Caledon, Ontario

Being very close to the flying club, I've come in here a few times to grab a quick bite with friends. They actually do a great job with lunch and breakfast food, have a new special every day but what I'm the biggest fan of here is the staff, they are amazingly friendly every time I've wandered in here even if it's just to get a coffee on the go. The food is slightly on the "not so healthy side" since it's a diner sort of place, but they do have a healthy section to the menu as well, so props for that! I've had their swiss burger and veggie wrap and both have been very satisfying! The place doesn't look like much from the outside being attached to a gas station and all that, but once you're inside you will realise that it's a very legit restaurant. Come here hungry too since they don't go light on the portions!! read more

Went here based upon Yelp reviews [I'm starting to think that is a bad idea]. It's right next to a gas station and the view is depressing: dirty parking lot, sketchy people, houses that look like they should be condemned. Highlight: the waitress was very friendly and very efficient. Food: Utterly pedestrian "diner fare". Burger was gray, rock hard and bland. Fish was frozen [one bit even had freezer burn...yum!] and 75% batter. Fries were undercooked and soon went limp and cold. Price: Two mains, one appetizer and a coke was $45. No deal, by any standards. Don't waste your time pulling off Highway 10; just keep going. read more

Drove 30 minutes to eat here - closed. No explanation, chairs up, ghost town. Could have posted something somewhere. A "sorry" on a piece of paper stuck to the door would have made me feel better. Won't be back unless they offer gas money. read more

Tried to make a reservation through yelp, since they have it on their page, but once I arrived at the restaurant there was no reservation. The service (the waitresses) are very nice and polite, but the chefs and managers are terrible. Food took almost and hour to come out and when it did, two plates were cold which were sent back hit the chef said it wasn't (it was ice cold). The food isn't good quality either and the rice used in the souvlaki is instant rice. After discussing our problems with the waitress, she gave us the managers phone number because he wasn't in (I wouldn't be either if this was my restaurant). The absolute worst was once we ordered our food, one member ordered a rack of ribs and 30 mins AFTER we told the waitress our order she comes back to tell us they don't have ribs! What type of restaurant won't tell customers they don't have an item on the menu when you order it? Major miscommunication from the kitchen to the waitresses. Once we got home we gave the manager a call, once he called back, mid way through complaining he HUNG UP. Summary: Terrible food, comes out cold, nothing seems to be made in restaurant, management is terrible. 0/5 WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. read more

this joint looks unassuming from the outside, especially during blistery winter white out conditions. but once you step inside, you see the fireplace/tv brick wall, modern lighting fixtures, and cheesecake from the cheesecake factory enticing you to have breakfast dessert. breakfast is served all day and the options are a plenty. the RED ONION SPECIAL comes with 2 eggs, home fries, toast, refillable coffee, and your choice of bacon/sausage/ham and a slice of orange to garnish. our inner school girls couldn't resist giggling at the girthy sausages. hehe. also laugh-worthy: the price, once you realize it's all just $4.99!!! what a steal. the open concept kitchen surprisingly doesn't leave you completely greasy smelling and the staff are super friendly. i'm sure they weren't able to control the fact that fresh prince was on the air, but that added to my experience anyways. read more

Red Onion - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Caledon, Ontario

burgers tasted like they were just warmed up pattie's from walmart and they were over cooked. the fries the same. nothing tasted fresh

We were at Red Onion on a Saturday for quick brunch.We were on our way to Mono cliffs, checking out the fall colours. The people there were friendly. The ambience of the was good, welcoming. We ordered the Veggie Skillet and Waffle with strawberry topping. It took us about 20 mins to get our food. The Veggie skillet was very good with eggs, mushroom, potato, bell peppers, cheese and toast. The food was simple, not too fancy but tasted good. Do stop by this place if you are in the area, have some time to sit and have food. But not the choice, If you are looking for a quick grab and go. read more

Stopped in for a first time visit and was completely impressed. Super friendly server, quick to greet us and take drink orders and explain the special of the day. Was pleasantly surprised with the nice decor inside. We ordered: 1 special which included: *soup of the day, chicken barley which tasted homemade and was great. *Baseball steak with shrimps that came grilled to a perfect rare and a gravy like sauce that I could have drank! *mixed vegetables which were fresh not frozen and not over cooked with a slight crisp *roasted potatoes which were probably the best roasted potatoes I've ever had in a restaurant. Golden brown and crispy on the outside and perfectly done on the inside. 1 grilled chicken dinner which came with the same as the special but my bf substituted veggies for extra potatoes. *came with 2 perfectly cooked grilled chicken breasts. Can't wait to go back. Highly recommend this little gem!! read more

When we first tried this place, the owner was super welcoming and it was always good vibes. Now the service is alright. And we only come for the cheap breakfast. Their special can get you your choice of 2 or 3 eggs, bacon, potatoes, toast and coffee, for about $6. And breakfast is served all day. I didn't love the potatoes, as they tasted like old deep fried oil, not a fan. There were only two servers serving that day and it was busy. It took awhile to get that second cup of coffee. Like I said, if you like a cheap breakfast, this is your place. They also serve lunch and dinner options, read more

Second visit here and still not impressed. I ordered Chicken Parmesean and it was over cooked. The slice of mozzarella cheese drapped over with very little tomato sauce. I choose to have it with Fettuccine Alfredo (pasta was standard)... but should be Spheggetti for tomato sauce. Since it was Fettuccine I picked the sauce that would compliment the pasta best. Bad mistake! The sauce was horrible and made the entree from bad to worse. My friend ordered their wrap and said it was alright. She upgraded her fries to sweet potato fries. Those were good and better when we asked for the Chipotle mayo dippping sauce. First time was there, I ordered their Seafood pasta... I remembered it being alright. The place is busy enough... I guess I am ordered their not so great items. I see that their burgers and all day breakfast are a hit. Decor is nice and clean. Staff is ok... Had to remind the waitress a couple of times for things... but it was busy when we were there. read more

So, I was excited to discover the inside looked a lot more appealing than the outside, and the food seemed like it would be good. When the food arrived, there was a few black hairs clearly from the chef who wasn't wearing a hair net. That grossed me out. I would have ranked higher but now I sit here waiting for a new order as my college gets to eat his. read more

Red Onion - Pancakes with black curly chef hair. Mmmm. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Caledon, Ontario

I am very upset with my experience here today. I have been here a couple of times with my boyfriend and decided to share the love with my two best friends. The service was slow as it was busy but the waitress, despite being a friendly girl didnt pay us much attention and had to be flagged down more then once. My friend also found a hair in her omelette. I ordered the red onion skillet which sounded awesome , back bacon, cheese, veggies and hollandaise sauce, sounds yummy but lacked luster. I don't think i will be back, i am really upset with this experience. read more

If I could give no stars I would...over priced, service was shit and so was the food! We ordered eggs Benedict. It stated we could choose from "benedict, florentine, blackstone (??) Or salmon". Now normally Benedict is made with peamal bacon unless other wise stated... they also have the option of ordering a peamal sandwich so it is on the menu...yet it came with ham. I would not have ordered it if the menu stated that or I wpuld have asked to substitute. It also states it comes with 3 eggs... but my husband only got 2. The homefries were mush and the hollandaise was watery and tastes like shit The service was also horrible! She never came to see if our order was ok...or we would have said something, she didnt refill our waters at all, and my husband ask for a coffee refill when she brought the food but he never received it. We are up this way all the time and I will never return! read more

Wow, what a disappointment this last visit was. We were treated like lepers by our waitress. Were we rude or did we do anything to deserve this treatment? No, not at all. When we sat down, there were chunks of food on the table, puddles of cream (one with a white hair in it) and sticky patches. When the waitress came over, she swiped the food chunks off the table with the menu and rudely asked if we wanted coffee. Naturally we figured she'd be back to wipe down the table, but only returned with the coffees. So we had to request the wipe-down - and when she wiped it, she seemed annoyed with the audacity of the request, made some snarky comment, then said she'd be back to take our orders. This took about 10-15, so it was obvious she was purposely blowing us off, almost to "punish" us for having to wipe the table. But we patiently waited to order - why, I'm not sure. What's funny is, at the restaurant entrance there's a big sign that says "We sanitize every 15 minutes". I suspect this isn't feasible but cleaning tables for new patrons should be normal part of their protocol. The food was fine - typical diner food. We've eaten here on occasion when we've been in the area - but after that experience, we're certainly not inclined to return. read more

I think the breakfast is pretty good here. I like that there is a "protein breakfast" for those who are not big carb fans. If you are in the mood for chicken Souvlaki it is really good with a large portion size. The people are friendly and service it good. read more

If I could give this place a negative star I would. Let me start by saying dont believe the positive reviews its got to be friends of the owner. I came here despite the negative reviews about terrible service and less than average food but all the negative reviews are 100 % accurate. I brought my family for lunch and I read they serve all day breakfast so we could all get what we wanted. They sat us down quick enough and dropped off two menus breakfast and lunch which was odd enough for an all day greasy spoon.. She took our drink order right away but it took 15 mins to bring 4 out of the 5 drinks we ordered. This is despite the woman who seemed to be the manager or owner walking right by us without so much as a smile or acknowledgment that we were there . FyI 2 coffees one water one coke and she forgot a club soda.. No mixologist required but regardless 15 mins and one thirsty customer.. So I advise our waitress that we were in a bit of a hurry but I am always realistic so not like Im expecting my food in 10 mins.. but 40 mins later yes 40 mins later.. the same waitress comes to our table and says there is a problem.. the kitchen and order person are not communicating and they only have one cook.. so translation I your waitress forgot to tell the one cook which by the way this place has an open kitchen so you can actually see the cook... I could have placed my own order without raising my voice. BUT the kitchen had a communication problem. So bottom line shes "we cannot fullfill your order so if you guys leave we will give you a 40 % discount your next visit" I was like really ? You are kidding right ? She was like "no Im not kidding... " I was beyond shocked I had to ask one more time "you guys seriously cant make two breakfasts one burger and an order of chicken wings... ? With a straight face shes says Yup ! I got up and my family and I walked out to never return to this place again... This is an honest sincere review. read more

OMG Never again !!... the owner very rude ! Don't believe all the positive reviews they are all fake !!!

Pretty disappointed with my visit last Sunday. I come here all the time. Last Sunday I came in for dinner. Ordered a Greek salad it came out with a hair on the tomato. Polity sent it back. Then when my pasta came 7 minutes after the rest of my families good it was watery. Didn't think much about it. Went home and laid down as I wasn't feeling well. After 1-2 hour I came down with severe diarrhea and vomiting. I was so sick and didn't eat anything else that day. I also ordered a milk shake to go. My other family members didn't have any issues. Why was mine different? Because I sent my salad back? Was very disappointed. I don't think I will go back. Too sick and sop much recovery time. Taking days off from work!!!! Not happy !!! read more

Definitely the place to go in Caledon for breakfast! Such great food and good, good service. Raj does an excellent job of running this restaurant. Food is cooked fresh and served with a smile, quickly. You should stop in anytime you travel along HWY 10. This is the place to eat! read more

We'd just spent the night slammin some brews with good friends when we had to get out of town quick to get to work in montreal. Stopped for a quick breakfast before hittin the road on a monday morning. We all ordered the $5.95 breakfast special with choice of meat, eggs any way, home fries, toast, an coffee. Everything was cooked really fantastic except one serious mistake. My good friend Kate was really fixin for a runny yolk and ordered a sunny side up egg. They ended up giving her scrambled eggs but we didn't say anything because we were in a hurry. One star off for this. Other than that, bacon was crispy, sausage was quality, scrambled eggs were fluffy, potatoes were well seasoned. Waitress was sweet, bathrooms were clean though over air freshenered. read more

Just had a lovely lunch - had to split the spinach salad and a grilled veggie wrap with my partner as we have grown to realize a full meal each will be too much. Each was delicious and nicely presented. Our server was lovely - checking in regularly. We've been for breakfast (solid eggs and omlet fare) and dinners (the turkey burger with turkey bacon was a nice surprise) and every time, the staff has been wonderful and the food has been plentiful and tasty. We look forward to the long drives that take us past there! read more

Where to start , first off we had a family outing and decided to give this place a try after seeing some decent reviews on yelp. Place was fairly busy so we had to wait about 15 min for a table once seated wait staff where very nice and helpful taking our order , couple of us picked breakfast and some lunch . About 20 min after we ordered we got told one of the orders a rack of ribs was not available , 20 min ? why did it take so long to be notified that they had no ribs ? Then it took another 20 min to get the rest of the orders. 40 min to get eggs and pancakes and some burgers and one order of eggs had to be sent back because of being cold. While we where waiting you could smell food burning from the kitchen at one point it smelled like burning plastic , very nauseating . When our food was finally done every dish came out individually while I was done my lunch my daughters burger just arrived. Insane. The food was bland , tasteless and dry. All food tasted like cafeteria food not sure how this place stays in business. If your looking for a better place to eat go to McDonalds . The waitstaff apologized and i don't blame them for this mess , seems from what we where told the previous owners sold the place and a new owner took over . I would say that have no clue what they are doing Stay away from this place is the last thing I'm going to say you've been warned. 0 out of 5 stars read more

My son said his burger was ok. He liked the fries. Pop was flat. My daughter ordered chicken parmigiana meal but they brought her the sandwich. She ate it anyway. Was so drenched in sauce. My caesar salad did not have bacon. It was ok. My husband's calamari was a soggy mess. Ordered fettuccine alfredo with shrimp. They brought chicken instead but gave me shrimp on the side. Alfredo was bland. I had to add a lot of salt. Didn't like that they added baby carrots, green and yellow beans. I've never eaten alfredo with veggies like that. My husband had the seafood fettuccine and was terribly disappointed. One of the cooks was so loud and annoying. We won't be back. read more

I would not recommend this place at all to eat. I was there for dinner on Sunday July 12th & ordered the small chicken souvlaki dinner. It was served to me with two disgusting clumps of hair on the plate. Luckily I noticed this right away & did not eat any. To think that both the chef & waiter did not notice this is troubling. Staff is lacking in attention to detail & cleanliness. All I got was a dirty look from the chef. They couldn't even bother to apologize. I would definitely advise to stay away from this place. Raj (the owner) did not even have the decency to apologize for this horrible experience. read more

For a $4.99 breakfast special you really can't go wrong. The service was pretty bad (my daughter has to ask for her water three times and we were given a butter bowl with used butter and leftover toast crumbs from someone else's toast in it...) but the value for the buck was pretty good. read more

Breakfast lunch or dinner. There's always a table for you. Friendly staff and good prices makes it a top choice for just a quick bite to eat or a nice site down dinner. They have a small bar area and is the only place for miles that serves alcohol. If you have a sweet tooth they have you covered. With a decent selection from the cheesecake factory and other sweet items to meet your fancy. So if your just in the area or planning a night out first dinner. Look no further than the red onion family restaurant. read more

Great food, generous portions, fair prices and friendly staff - dine in or take out - a winner for the Caledon community...
