Honestly for some the reason, it all tasted insanely good!! Whoever they got in the kitchen, is killing it! I also really, really appreciate the fact that they have turkey bacon. Service was friendly as well and the classic Wimpy's whimsical, transport you to a different time, decor is in full effect.

It could use a huge makeover BUT the appearance is also the allure to it. I found that the jr burger is much better then the full sized version. Bacon and eggs? YES!! Eggs Benedict? MORE PLEASE!!! They are many places that might be better but ya gotta check this place out if you want to feel nostalgic. Oh 1 more thing. Do yourself a favor and use a bathroom somewhere else before you visit this place. Unless you want to warp to a bowling alley in the middle of no where.

While standing in the long lineup to get into Sammy's for Sunday brunch (note that this place is…read morebetter to visit on a weekday) I met a nice lady who told me she has had two knee replacements. Sadly there was no chair for her to sit down on yet it didn't stop her from going to her regular spot for a Sunday brunch. She told me that she has been coming here for many years, even before it was called Sammy's. Has it been 30 years, she asked herself? Either way, she made it known that she is quite the regular. Very nice and friendly lady. These are the types of regulars that make the diner what it is. There is a sign in clipboard at the front, as soon as you walk in. You have to sign in as part of contact tracing in case there is an outbreak of COVID linked back to this establishment. Make sure you do not block the pathway from behind the bar, I didn't block it but a large family with several kids needed a place to stand in line and wait for a big table, because servers will get very mad at you and tell you "I NEED TO GET BY! DON'T BLOCK THE WAY!" But there is no where to stand when the lineup is 20 people deep. This is something to think about once the weather gets colder and there is a long lineup out the door. Perhaps takeout would be a better option than to be yelled at by the short haired waitress with tattoos? While I did not mind waiting and I had a book to occupy my time in the lineup and at the table before I was given the menu, I could see that this was obviously a rush time, prime time lunchtime at the diner, maybe others might be a little more impatient than me? I could watch a snail crawl for hours, patience is a virtue. The wait is very long to get seated and even longer to get food. While the food was pretty good, and the other server was very friendly, attentive and nice, I think they were short staffed that day and nothing is ever as instant as fast food. My advice would be to go here when you have the time to wait. Don't come here if you are in a rush. It's better to only come here when you have lots of time to wait.

The restaurant is giving cozy comforts diner with abut 20 people worth of seating. Join the waitlist as soon as you can because you can wait up to 2 hours for a table on a Sunday morning. After we got seated and our waiter came over and he wasn't giving the most welcoming energy, he seemed a little stand off ish which was weird but we assumed that's just how he was lol. Other than that that the service was good. We started with the biscuits. You have an option to have it with gravy or jam. We got jam and it came with a clotted cream like spread and a cinnamon apple tasting jam. The biscuits were nice and fluffy. We got an ice coffee too and it was really good. I always come for the party melt. It comes with their house salad and a scoop of their sweet potato salad. The whole plate was fantastic. We also for their turkey dinner and this was so delicious but we were so full we only had a couple bites and took the rest home. It was just as delicious as reheated leftovers.

Great authentic sri Lankan food. Five stars for the food…read morealone! This place has been there for as long as I remember (myself 10 years in Canada). I have been going for his rottis ever since. The rotti is his specialty come with tuna and dry fish sambol. Very cheap and delicious. They have a full bar and a pool table inside. The owner is the chef and he knows how to rock those spices. Kothu rotti is crunchy and delicious. Devilled shrimp/prawns goes well with his rotti too. The place was renovated couple years ago to a more modern atmosphere (the large bulky old HDTV is replaced by flat LCDs) His seafood party mix which I tried couple times recently. Has chunks of chicken with shrimp etc....which I would also recommend. But try his rotti first. Plenty of room to dine in. Usually a lot of boys and men hangout there at night. Many people I talk to haven't heard of this place. Its at Bromley n eglington I. Scarborough. Please give it a shot! All you spicy lovers....you will not regret!

My grandfather passed away earlier this year, and the family came together recently for an…read moreafternoon of catching up and sharing memories of him while enjoying some food and drinks at the Bluffers Restaurant and Event Centre in Scarborough. My aunt made a reservation well in advance for us to sit at a long table near a window, as that's exactly where my grandfather would have enjoyed a meal with such a beautiful view. It was easy to park nearby, and the views of the lake from Bluffers Park were amazing. When arriving to the restaurant, any window had a wonderful view. While the tables that my aunt was envisioning weren't set up the way she envisioned upon arrival, but the staff did a great job rearranging tables to honor the request. We kept everything simple by having everything paid on one check. We ordered a large-sized portion of the Grilled Mediterranean Vegetable Platter, which is a combination of grilled peppers, grilled zucchini, grilled fennel, basmati rice, mixed olives, feta cheese, hummus, tzatziki, and pita bread. In addition to this, several of our family members ordered desserts or other appetizers and a variety of drinks. Everything was tasty, though after our food and drinks arrived, it was difficult to get the attention of staff when we needed something. You can learn more about the Bluffers Restaurant and Event Centre at https://bluffersrestaurant.ca including their their menu. Their website states how heir signature dishes are prepared by Toronto's top chefs featuring traditional Mediterranean-style dishes, infused with a contemporary modern touch. Their aromatic flavours are inspired by Greece and the encompassing areas of the Mediterranean. While the food was fine and the service could have been better (after ordering food and drinks), the views were incredible. I would still recommend a visit to this restaurant.

Could barely hear the staff over the volume of their TV. They just hung up on me rather than tell me when the food would be ready. OK! When I got there, they'd forgotten my homefries so I had to wait -- normally no big deal, but the server and a customer were both wearing masks below their noses and it made me uncomfortable to be in there. The real kicker was the two breakfast sandwiches I brought home. The supposed "peameal and egg" sandwich had no egg, and a SINGLE piece of peameal. No joke. The BLT had perhaps one piece of bacon on each half. I paid $22 for this ridiculous meal. I remember coming here for brunch many times back in the day and enjoying it. What happened, guys?

This is a tough one. I think if the conditions were optimal, thisd be a 4. But from our actual…read moreexperience, it would be a 3. Its run by one older lady who doesn't move very fast. We were the second group in the restaurant. When we walked in, the first's was being prepared. It took us 40 mins to get our food since she had to make the order before ours. Food is pretty mid. The milkshake was great though. But it's ice cream and milk so it's tough to mess up. But then again, each burger is LESS than 2 dollars so who am I to complain? If you I lived nearby and was the first customer, I'd eat here every day. Otherwise, I wouldn't come here except for the experience of it. Limited seating. The booth chairs are kinda broken. Menu is so cheap though so does any of this even matter

If you look at the menu, there is nothing over $7.00. The owner, is a lovely older lady who will serve you and prepare your food. Just note, theres a limit to three people for seating and that it's cash only. Highly recommend this spot if you're in the area!
