Great food with great service. Spacious with really nice bar area. Located inside the mall. Plenty of parking available.

I really wanted to like this place. Growing up, I always passed by their old location and wanted to give it a try. Now that they moved over to the food court and renovated, I felt like it was finally time to give them a chance. It was 3 pm on a Saturday and I was here with a group of friends. My friends ordered the big breakfast and poutine, while I ordered the all day breakfast. I mean, it's a safe choice, how can you mess up breakfast? I ordered my eggs sunny-side up, and unfortunately the egg whites were not fully cooked... However, the sausage and potatoes tasted as you would expect. In terms of value, I don't think the food was worth the price. The service wasn't the best either - I felt like our server wanted us to get out of there asap. Pretty disappointed from this experience. I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

We've eaten here a few times in the past, so I'm not sure what happened. Our last visit will definitely be our last visit. Food tasted terrible, was undercooked, and not at all like the menu described. I only wish I had started reading reviews before I went in. read more

I came here to this Eglinton Square restaurant for half-priced wings before but today it's takeout since I don't have the time to sit inside the large dining room. The service is friendly and the food I'll classify as a family restaurant menu. It's a good meal option instead of a standard fast food choice. Prices are reasonable as well. read more

Food is okay. Front of house was no where to be seen. We had to walk in and walk around the restaurant before someone could confirm our reservation or show us to our seats. It was 12 in the afternoon and seemed to be quite empty and disorganized. Service after being seated was much better. The server was very accommodating and frequently came in to refill water and check in on our needs. The food for the most part is average. Definitely value for money, but depending on what you order could be a positive or negative experience. Both burgers ordered for our party were charred to the point of burnt hockey pucks. The fries however were very crispy and probably a highlight of the meal. The English beef pie was one of the daily specials, and although I had some doubts, I was pleasantly surprised. The pie is served with coleslaw and a choice of side. I opted for mashed potatoes. The pie itself wasn't bad. There was no absence of meat or gravy in the filling, however the entire pie was smothered in gravy. Instead of a crispy pie shell, it was soggy. The flavour of the gravy and crust is comparable to one of those frozen pot pies you get at the grocery store. Taste is okay, a little on the saltier side and not the best pie I've had, but still decent. The mashed potatoes on the other hand were very sad. They were lumpy, dry, and bland. Honestly if they had smothered the gravy on the mash, I would not have noticed and would probably have been much happier. Don't get the mashed potatoes. They are a huge disappointment. It's actually a little aggravating at how little care went into those mashed potatoes. However, I scraped all the gravy off the pie and they were then edible. I had a taste of the veal parmesan and it was very dry. It tasted like a dry veal cutlet in between some dry garlic bread. Not enough cheese or tomato sauce to cover that one up. I did not try the fish and chips but from what I saw the portion was quite large. Overall an average experience. Not the best, not the worst. Just okay. Food is hit or miss. Service after finally being seated was excellent. Probably one of the saving graces of the experience. Hopefully they can improve on the food. It wasn't bad... just not very good. Except the fries. Fries are great! read more

After years of walking by I finally decided to stop by and get some breakfast here. I went with the Big Breakfast (I think that's what it's called), which included two eggs, homefries, toast and your choice of bacon or sausage. It was decent, nothing special about it. I did like that we were seated right away and our food came within 10 minutes. I would try it again as Watts is close to where I live but it wouldn't be my first choice. read more

Hot turkey sandwich ($10) with cranberry sauce, peas plus mashed potatoes and gravy. Portion was great and the taste was delicious. The cranberry sauce is unique in that it's tangy but not sweet. If you want thanksgiving early, this is the hearty meal you want on a cold Autumn day. The grilled chicken wrap ($11) was like Chinese food goodness in a delightful wrap. A little greasy but the teriyaki taste was yummy. They have all-day breakfast?!? Totally coming back! read more

This is our go to restaurant when we have our 9 year old grandson with us. He enjoys chicken fingers and the atmoshphere here. It is always clean with pleasant service. The staff are longterm employees that always are wonderful to chat to. Its homestyle cooking that brings me back to childhood on the prairies. When you want pie...come here! Breakfast? Come here. Love you Watts! read more

I've been here a few times and it has been consistently positive. Service at the greeting was quick. Ordering time was within acceptable status.(less than 4 minutes of being seated). Food was delivered accurately as ordered. Eggs were cook to order (which in my opinion is the biggest deal - everyone screws up eggs). Potatoes were nicely fresh and crispy. Bacon, cooked medium and beautifully done. Tasted really good. Coffee was good as well at $2.25. There better be refills at that price. By default they serve cream but I take milk so after a quick request, it was delivered promptly. All in all a fantastic experience. Good place! read more

I went here for the first time last week, and it will be my last. The restaurant was renovated a few years ago, which is the only positive thing I can mention about Watt's. I went out for breakfast with family, and the food was terrible. I ordered a stack of pancakes, which tasted very strange- almost sour, with some areas that tasted like tomatoes? The fact that parts of the pancakes tasted like tomatoes suggested cross-contamination with some other meals. Two of my family members ordered a breakfast fry-up with sausages, eggs, bacon, and pancakes. They too, also noticed that the pancakes tasted strange. On top of the weird pancakes, my poor friend, who ordered a chicken pot pie, was ill an hour later after eating. They said the pie seemed like it was microwaved, since it was warm on the edges, but scalding hot on the inside. Some coleslaw came with his meal, and since coleslaw is made with mayonnaise, there's a possibility bad mayonnaise could have made them ill, or something else. Poor food, and some poor food safety going on here. You might be better off with eating something in the adjacent food court. read more

The one star is because we did get good service from the server. If I could, I would have given minus three stars for everything else. My sister and I decided to eat dinner here last Monday as we were in Eglinton Square and didn't want "fast food" from the food court. Huge mistake! First of all,we waited over 30 minutes for our food. Many people who arrived after us were getting their food before us. "Okay" we figured, "It's going to be really good and worth the wait". WRONG! My toasted club only had butter on one piece of toast, the bacon was off (smelled sour) and it was so poorly put together it didn't even look appetizing. The "home fries were just as bad. Dry and bland. Our server was very apologetic and offered to take it back, but we had waited so long and were sooo hungry we didn't want to wait again ( plus my sister thinks if you send food back, they will do awful things to it) I pulled it apart and only ate the turkey, some of the toast and the tomatoes. We would have left but we were both starving by this time. My sister's Hot Hamburger was just as bad. The gravy was way over salted and the peas were frozen peas and over cooked. She did like the potatoes and only ate most of those. I will say the prices were fairly cheap (Maybe that's why the food was so bad) Save yourself the disappointment and eat at the food court. The food will have more flavor, the wait won't be as long and you won't (hopefully) get food that's gone bad read more

I have lived in the area all my life and love going to Watts! My family has a tradition where we go to Watts for breakfast on someone's birthday the food is good, the price is right, and the service is great!. read more

Been there a few times for a pint. The place is well renovated, the staff is a bit ok...not like ready to offer you a great service or anything. I came for breakfast on mother's day. The breakfast a bit bland and plain. I can't comment about the rest of the menu. Overall, good to try once...sometimes you get these funny drunk middle aged dudes, that make a lot of funny comments...must be local regulars. Try it out and decide for yourself. read more

Ok so this probably not going to be one of my standard long winded reviews. Probably because there's really not much to it. Really to the point I only remembered what I had. I came here with my family one Sunday afternoon during thanksgiving weekend. They offer all day breakfast but there's some hamburgers on there for those non breaky type. Standard I ordered eggs Benny (someone wise told me you can screw up eggs Benny. I just didn't think at an all day breakfast joint could) Soft poached egg ended up...well...was what Gordon Ramsey would yell at someone for. The hollandaise sauce was alright, maybe just a tad too thick but taste was ok. I think the saving grace was the home fries. Those were totally cooked though. Nice and soft in the middle yet the outside had a very slight crunch but not burnt or dry. Service wise, our waitress was slightly forgetful. Like she would sometimes forget we were there. read more

This place used to be a lot better. We had a big party and half of us got our food and then 15 mins later (yes we counted) the rest of the party did. Small portions, toast was not even toasted, taste wasn't the greatest (used to be better) and they charged us for food that were substituted not extras. Then they gave us 1 cheque, didnt even ask how we wanted to split it. Very disappointed. read more

Ate here for lunch with friends on a cold, overcast Saturday in December. We picked it because they live in the area and we didn't want to drive far, nor eat at a chain. The place was mostly empty when we arrived around noon. When you come in the entranceway, there's a room to the left and a room to the right. We picked the right. Large bar with about a dozen tables per side? Standard family style restaurant, with wooden tables & booths, some nice lights, very clean, recently renovated. Straightforward, simple service. I actually ordered Eggs Florentine off their all day breakfast menu and liked it a lot. The hollandaise tasted extra buttery, where I find lots of places it's too bland. I don't see it on their online menu but think it was around $10, so definitely worth it. The roasted home fries were a tad dry and could've used some more seasoning, but good enough. My partner found his big breakfast (9.95 for 3 eggs, ham, bacon, toast & home fries) was great for the price. Although there's nothing special about this place, I'd go back any time if someone wanted to. read more

Don't bother with this place. It's just the epitome of mediocre. Ordered chicken fajitas and the salmon, both were super bland and just blah. The salmon came with a salad, which was straight out of a bagged salad from the grocery store, we could tell. Like literally, a dole bagged salad they just poured out onto the plate for us. We sent that back and asked for the soup instead. Minestrone was decent. The salmon was bland - so bland. No sauce or anything on it. Looked like it had been seasoned, but it sure didn't taste like it. It was also pretty dry. The baked potato was sufficient and the vegetables looked like they were frozen before being cooked. The chicken fajitas showed up with lettuce to go inside them - which was also the Dole bagged salad. We sent that back again and asked for fresh lettuce. A few minutes later we got that - imagine what they can do when they put their minds to it over there? Lol fresh, chopped iceberg lettuce! We lucked out. Anyway, the fajitas were OK. I mean, there was chicken and it was cooked and covered in some sauce, but none of it really had much flavor so I killed it with hot sauce and called it a day. It's not that this place is horrible, it's just painfully mediocre. I won't go again. Rubys in the food court is miles better than this place for 1/4 the price. read more

My worst culinary experience. I was just in the neighbourhood and we had to grab a bite. I had a philly cheese steak sandwich and I was wondering how they could make something that bad. I am not picky and it's like it had no taste, it had a bad taste. But if you prefer quantity and cheap prices, I guess you can go. read more

Went there last night with friends, the service was great and the food was amazing! I will definitely go again! The staff was friendly and the tables are clean. They have free wifi and power outlets in every table :) read more

I'd give this place a second try if you ate at the previous location. It has upgraded a lot since then. Great food and such a large selection. Food comes out pretty fast (most of the time) and hot. My new fav local restaurant! read more

Service was okay but the food was not very good, at all. This is my brother-in-law's place to eat so I agreed to go there with him. I had the open face turkey sandwich. The entire meal was served lukewarm. That was the first sign. I really should have sent it back. The accompanying peas were from frozen without butter or seasoning. As if you boiled some peas and put them on a plate. Plain and boring. The potatoes were instant mashed potatoes (or that's what they tasted like). The gravy on the sandwich was a cream gravy and had no turkey flavour. I thought it might be an all purpose gravy that any meal receives. The turkey dressing contained bits of bacon. I've not had turkey dressing with bacon. It made the turkey sandwich taste like bacon. Hours later I am still burping up my lunch. The only positive thing I can say is the service was fine and the restaurant looked okay. Not a pleasant meal. I won't be returning. read more

Service is terrible at the bar - you can only order half prices wings there. 7 wings, NO fries. The server didn't even know what flavours the wings came in and said wings are only available with beer purchase. I had to pull up the menu on my phone to show her that it was with ANY beverage. She claimed she didn't know because she normally doesn't work Wednesdays. Never coming back again. read more

We have been going here for years, first in it's previous location within the mall and, now, in the re-located place near the food court (with bonus access from another door straight outside to the parking lot). Typical family style food. I often order the appetizer quesidilla which is enough for a meal. Pot pies are great. If you go at lunch, maybe your server will be Maria. She has the uncany ability to remember up to 16 orders without writing anything down. (we go there with a group sometime). read more
