Delicious food, unfortunately they are typically so busy you are looking at ridiculous wait times for seating and service. I've waited over an hour lined up on the sidewalk before to get in, then close to an hour to even get food. Worth it though, if you have the time to wait...

Interesting, upscale diner. Nice variety of all day breakfasts and sandwiches with interesting options like avocado, Portobello mushrooms. A tasty choice is fried chicken strips breaded with corn flakes accompanied with a substantial green salad. Classic diner design with a number of booths.

it's a nice place. i've gone during the day - pretty quiet and not a whole lot going on. I really felt it would be some sort of unique experience since I've heard good things and they're open 24 hours, but it feels like a pretty generic restaurant.

We consulted their web page and thought it looked perfect. We tried to call to make SURE they were ALWAYS OPEN, as advertised emphatically online, but nobody answered. We decided to have a little faith and drive 45 minutes to experience this appealing place. When we arrived, the door was locked! We ...

I was very excited to finally visit the Lakeview Diner as I had heard a lot of amazing things about it. The interior is kind of special and interesting, but that didnt bothered me at all, as it gives the place a certain atmosphere. It was super busy when we got there, I understand as its one of the ...

Ordered the Chilli, the waitress brought it out and asked "does that look OK?" and then left briskly, which seemed to be a strange. It came missing both the bread bowl and the onion rings. Took a long time to get anyone's attention, to the point where i had to get up and seek someone out. When they ...

Cute place for lunch in Little Portugal! Stopped here for lunch today with my daughter.

I had the B.E.S.T sandwich and it was actually THE BEST!! You get Bacon, Spinach, Tomato on rye bread and choice of fries or greens on the side. SO GOOD. If you are a meat eater but want to pass on the big plates and burgers but still get some nice crispy bacons go for this sandwich. I've tried thei...

Okay, I have NO idea how this place has such a high rating. The bathroom here was simply disgusting. There is graffiti all over the bathroom and it didn't look like it had been cleaned in a while.

On top of this, the waiter got my order wrong twice and I mean completely wrong. He brought me out a...

Fantastic diner. I had a perfectly cooked burger with a delicious and creative poutine side. Fantastic service from a young gentleman (can't remember his name but I sure wish I could) . I'll be going back there in about 3 hours after I go to the bar to get an apple pie milkshake.

The food was passable, but definitely not worth the long wait time we had while we were there. Not only did we have to wait for the food, but I had to wait 25 to pay my bill after the waitress LEFT the table before setting up the machine. I asked the other waitresses there if I could just pay and go...

A group of three friends and I came on a moderately busy Wednesday night and received a burger with soggy bun and barely any coleslaw, a hollandaise sauce that was just melted butter, poached eggs well done on the inside + big eggshell, toast only toasted on one side, and 7 onion rings (small) for 3...

Service was a little slow and inattentive - our server was really nice, but she kept forgetting things we asked for. I found them to be out of stock of a few menu items, but overall I really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere of this place, and I would go back.

Slow service and a rude waitress named Laura. She failed to communicate clearly why only two dishes arrived to our group of 8 (something about the kitchen not seeing two chits) and did not apologize for the wait. Then came time for the check. We asked her to split the check and she did so incorrectl...

Not impressed. I guess it's supposed to be a 70-80s theme diner, but it looks more like it was just built during that time and never renovated since. Booths are literally falling apart, everything looks and feels out dated. The menu is typical diner "homemade" style food. But there nothing homemade ...

The Lakeview restaurant is one of the best classic diners in Toronto, open 24 hours and ready to feed the hungriest stomachs at a moment's notice. It's great for pretty much any meal you can possibly think of, whether it be a weekend brunch, a regular dinner, or a 3 am snack. The breakfasts are subs...

Amazing! Always a go to when downtown. Great tasting vegan and vegetarian options. They took their fortified (alcohol) milkshakes off the menu but if you ask they will still make them for you! Great vibes. Can get drafty when the weather outside is cold so bring a sweater :)

We have tried to have breakfast here, and enjoy it, on several occasions, but it has always turned out badly.
Our last visit, we arrived early on a Saturday. By the time we ordered and got our food, it was over an hour, and the restaurant was not particularly busy.

Cute diner setting, and great when you're in a pinch and need some 24/7 food!

I had the apple pie, which was delicious and homemade. I got a grilled cheese and onion rings to go. It did not travel well. The grilled cheese was soggy and I was not a fan of the extra slice of bread in the middle ...

Worst service I've ever had. On top they have the balls to just tip themselves on the debit machine in and hand over the machine and ask for more tip... Unbelievable
Food took 45 min
And then took these guys 10 min to clear the table... Just wow

The menu here was better and more expansive than I expected, with plenty of opportunities for customization. Although it's definitely diner food, the quality is good and I had quite a few options as a vegetarian. The service was also good. Probably the biggest draw is the classic diner decor, of cou...

A very vintage breakfast/brunch spot.

Menu is quite substantial with interesting meaty offerings. The menu varies from plates and sandwiches with sides of salads. The Ossington Massive breakfast is quite large and filling which samples the entire brunch menu involving eggs. Would've been complet...

Went here late night on Saturday after a show. Ordered the Tuna Melt with fries upgraded to Disco Fries. I am still unsure if the Disco Fries were actually a poutine, but it was pretty good nonetheless. As for my Tuna Melt though, it was cold, not grilled, and contained no cheese, so basically a col...
