Great atmosphere great food great staff awesome keep coming back
Pleasantly surprised with the quality of food at this establishment and the price point for what you receive is unlike anywhere else! The plates come heaping with food! Spend 16.95 and get two-for-one! I ordered the small pork souvlaki. The pork pieces were marinated and cooked just fine. Served on a bed of rice, salad and a whole potato. The mushrooms in the rice were a nice surprise!
Also ordered was the chicken parmigiana. Presentation was great, the cheese was baked on the chicken and the pasta perfectly. The chicken was tender and cooked to perfection. The sauce on the pasta was light with a ton of flavour! A little on the sweet side for a tomato sauce but it worked really well with the whole dish.
Has to be one of our top places to go on our list. We now do go out of our way to come to Pete's the food is so good. it is not only so good, the staff is amazing and the prices are very reasonable and you get a lot of food.

We were in Mississauga at lunchtime on Saturday and I remembered seeing Peter's on Eglinton a few times before when we had driven by. The restaurant has large glass windows, and it was easy to see that there were always people inside, so it seemed to have a regular crowd. That was enough for me to want to give it a try when we had an opportunity to pass by again.
One of the first things that you see when walking in to the main dining room is the enormous upside down Tiffany style, stained glass light fixture. It is probably about 8 feet in diameter. There are also smaller stained glass light fixtures and crystal chandeliers around the restaurant, as well as stained glass panels at the top of the windows. The tables and chairs are a bit dated, but they do fit in with the overall style of the restaurant.
They subtitle themselves as a Restaurant & Deli, and we focused on their deli menu for lunch. SWMBO ordered the Tuna Salad Sandwich. At $14.95 it seemed a bit pricey, but the portion matched the price. The amount of tuna salad that was on the sandwich made it a challenge to finish (but she rose to the challenge). The filling itself was almost 2 inches high. Combine that with a good pile of fries, a good pile of cole slaw, and half a good kosher dill, the price was ok. It was big enough probably to share one meal for two people.
I had the Smoked Meat Combo for $15.95. Similar to SWMBO's, the portions were oversized. I really like my deli meat thinly sliced, which is how this sandwich is served. As we left the restaurant, I noticed under their main sign that they serve Lester's deli meat (from Montreal), which I also like.
A smaller dinner would have to be on the agenda.
The large souvlaki dinner is insanely large and quite tasty. I started with the French onion soup which was also very good but not the best I've ever had. I'd almost consider this place to be a sort of sit-down version of Zet's, but I'd give the edge to Zet's for better food overall. That in no way takes away from Peter's though. Great place!

Ok so I couldn't resist bumping up this review ahead of all my pending reviews. Peter's on Eglinton really impressed me and I have been yearning to write a review!😊
This little restaurant sits in the quiet outskirts of Mississauga. I love how the restaurant is. It's cute and really reminds me of a country bistro back in the days !😀 I went on a Saturday evening and place was quite busy but the service was very friendly and attentive despite of how busy it was, that really impressed me.
I didn't know what to choose, as their menu was quite elaborate and appealing. I landed on the firm staples of the eatery. The pork souvlaki (small), chicken brochette and onion rings. I have no idea why they call the souvlaki dinner I ordered 'small' and quite the contrary it was huge!😮 It was so tasty! I loved the way the meat was seasoned, so flavorful and from scratch. The sides were also done very well. You can't go wrong with fresh ingredients and and food that is made with care! 1.5 pounds of mouth watering goodness on one plate! 😊 The tzatziki was thick, compact and injected with full flavor. It wasn't the watered down 'salad dressing' tzatziki you find in some places. Thinking about how yumny it was makes my mouth water!😁 The chicken brochette was humungous. It must have been like four chicken breast put together. Despite of the size, the chicken was tender and like the souvlaki it was rich in flavor! Jokingly I asked our waitress if my souvlaki was the 'small', how big is the 'large'? She said: It's 2.5 pounds, bigger than you hunny.😄
I cannot say enough good things about Peter's on Eglinton. The warm family oriented ambience and excellent food, I can't ask for more. ☺When I first arrived I wondered why people at every table that was leaving asked for containers. I realize now after my food arrived that this is a ritual at Peter's. There is no way one can leave there without a doggie bag!😄 Will I be returning to Peter's on Eglinton? In a heart beat!❤..🍴🍛🍅🍞😊

Went to Peter's for lunch with a friend of mine. As soon as a I set foot in this resto, it felt like I was in another era. It was quite welcoming, bright and boy were they ever busy. We ordered the smoked meat sandwich and a large souvlaki dinner plate. The waitress had to ask us if we were sure we wanted the large size and said that even the small size was enough for the two of us. In the end, we still got the large size. The sandwich arrived first and it was quite a lot. Has lots of meat and so tasty! I ended up packing half the sandwich to go so I would have some room for the souvlaki. This place only serves pork souvlaki which was kind of disappointing since I prefer chicken. When the meal came, we could not believe how massive the dish was. It was as big as our heads! Salad tasted fresh but the souvlaki itself was ok. The meat was a little tough but enjoyed it nevertheless. We did end up taking half the meal home since we were full to the max. Service was a little slow but understandable since it was quite busy. The waitress was apologetic but she was quite efficient. It would have still been nice if they had the chicken souvlaki as an option.
It's been a while, but this used to be my regular go to for Greek food. Souvlaki in particular. Portions are huge and the tzaziki is wonderfully full of garlic. The place is busy on the weekends and lunch crowds during the week.
I had the smoked meat sandwich it was great just like in Montreal! Big portions and satisfying flavours! Warm atmosphere. Definitely going back
A friend and I were desperately looking for a place for breakfast on a Sunday morning when we stumbled upon this gem. it was a relatively quiet morning at this location and the staff were very attentive. I had a Spanish omelette while my friend had the pastromi sandwich. the food was good, reminded me food you would cook at home, but what's to write about are the proportions. the meal was a bit on the pricer side for breakfast but it'll keep me full for most of the day. hidden gem, go discover it yourself, it's worth it.
Food great. Had breakfast/lunch food was great and big portions, waiter was friendly and courteous will be back!!!
Very nice dining room. It's more of a family dining place. The food is on good/average side. The service is good. The portions are big!
Portion and Meat Quality Win. The amount of food portion you get at this place is next level. I've never had portions this big. After frequent visits i finally decided to try the liver,( which 90 percent of places always overcook in my opinion) i was very satisfied with it ( for how fast i got it i was impressed). I think some people may mistake the professionalism of the staff for arrogance and rudeness, i find the staff are very " proper" to put a word too it, you'll see me again there for sure!
Know what you're getting into. I've been going to Peters for many, many years. When you walk in, you know what to expect. Huge variety, huge portions, great value, and clogged arteries. Sure, you can get a gigantic salad, but it's the plate full of fried calamari, the fish and chips, the burgers and onion rings, the mile high smoked meat sandwich, and the souvlaki that brings you back. The quality is typically above average, though the souvlaki is on the dry side, and the smoked meat isn't as good as Montreal, but overall, there's a reason it's on my list when I'm in the area.
Delicious and friendly. I went for lunch with my grandmother, aunt and mother on a Thursday in the heart of lunch rush, and was prepared for slow or miserable service after reading others reviews on urbanspoon. Boy was I surprised. Not only was the service efficient while the restaurant was full to the max, but the waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable.
I ordered the roast beef sandwich with a Caesar, and I shared in some calamari that we ordered to start. The food was really delicious, with the Caesar salad dressing being obviously homemade, and the roast beef was freshly carved. The calamari was not too chewy and was done in a tasty batter, while the portion sizes of all the items bordered on ridiculous. All four of us went home with doggie bags.
Whatever others have said, this is clearly a favourite spot of many, because the place was wall-to-wall people, and I look forward to returning to try the club sandwich that I spied on a few other tables, as it looked awesome.
Delish!. I love their smoked meat sandwiches. The portions are huge and I can never finish so I always take it home. I've also tried their souvlaki and lasagna which are also good, but the sandwiches are my favourite
Go hungry. HUGE portions. The souvlaki is awesome and so are some of the desserts.

Great Place!. This is the first time that I had been ever been to this place. My boyfriend had been here before and highly recommended it. From the outside, the place looks really big however, on the inside, it isn't as large as it appears. When we first walked in, we had to wait about two minutes for someone to approach and seat us. It was lunch on a Sunday so it wasn't too busy when we walked in. As soon as we sat down, we were given menus right away. We were overwhelemed by how much was on the menu; we didn't know what to order. We eventually settled on the western sandwich and the cheeseburger with fries. We also wanted to order the chicken wings and fries but our server advised against it as it was going to be too much food. We were glad that she did as it was definitely a lot of food! The food came out within fifteen minutes of us ordering it. The western sandwich was good, a bit dry, but it was pretty good. There was a large portion of fries, with a large scoop of coleslaw. The coleslaw was probably the best I had ever had. It didn't have too much vinegar or salt. The service was also excellent. Many servers came by to fill up our water glasses and to ask if everything was okay. We felt well taken care of by all of the wonderful servers. The price of both of our meals was also very reasonable. I would definitely come back to this place, and I would recommend you give it a try as you won't be disappointed!
Always stuffed..... We have eaten here any number of times and the portions are huge. We ate here July 4 and both wife and I had BLT's as we didn't want too much to eat. Needless to say the sandwiches were huge with massive fries and coleslaw. The server was quick and friendly. I managed to finish my Bee El Tee sandwich, which was good, but wife only got through half of hers so our server packed up what we couldn't eat to take home. I had the rest of the wife's sandwich and most of the fries for lunch yesterday and the rest of the fries and some coleslaw for dinner last night and finished off the coleslaw at lunch today. BTW, the coleslaw was tasty.
A portly man's paradise!!!
The Best Souvlaki dinner in Toronto!. If you go here, the souvlaki dinner is a must to order...I have eaten at many of the Greek restaurants on the Danforth and this is the best souvlaki dinner I've had anywhere. Everything on the plate is delicious and more food then most can eat in one sitting.
They have good food and huge portions
Nothing Compares to Peter's.. It's all about either the Souvlaki dinner or the corn beef sandwiches. Amazing value, this is my favourite restaurant on the west end. I always make it a challenge to be able to finish my meal without taking it home.
The best corn beef anywhere. Get the super and be full all day long. Corn beef is juicy, hot and great size. I haven't tried other item but I'm sure it's great. I come here for the corn beef and prastrami sandwiches. I have been coming here now for 5 years. Never had a bad meal! Really it's that good.
U better be hungry..had the pea and Ham soup..was like a mother made it with love I had the rueben with fries and coleslaw..u better be hungry cuz its like two meals in one..and I'm a big eater I never pack food to go..not this time Everything is good quality even to the forks..great place for a casual lunch..gets busy too
Amazing service! There was never a point when my glass was less than 2/3 full. It was constantly being refilled by different servers. Food was very tasty. Huge portions. Great price. Loved the crispy, golden brown halibut. Ambience was homely. Felt like such a small town restaurant. It was absolutely lovely.
A Religious Experience for Big Appetites.. If you answer "yes" to any of the following - Peter's on Eglinton is the place for you.
- Are you a dude or dudette that loves to eat, and can suck back massive quantities of food?
- Are you a family man looking to feed a family with good food for a reasonable cost?
- Are you a senior looking to split a plate of food with your "dinner friend", leave satisfied, and not break the fixed income?
- Are you a hungry human simply looking for an airy atmosphere, with wide padded seating, friendly service, decent food and king sized portions?
This is it.
Pete's is like a new found religion - once you've tried it . . . you convert. We all love Pete's - and those that don't . . .
I'll pray for you.
At Peter's on Eglinton there appears to be "consistancy" in the quality of food from visit to visit. Over a period of time one can expect "good food every time". Often I order takeout because both my wife and I have never been disappointed. Also they serve HUGE PORTIONS very tastefully prepared. I usually THINK "Peter's" when I'm real hungry and don't want to cook! THUMBS UP every time!!! - DERRILL & JANE GALLANT
Great deli sandwiches. Portions are rediulous. Prices are high in comparison to other compatible restaurants. I would prefer a reasonible portion at a reasonible price.
Food portions are very large. Service, some waitresses are rude. Besides service, food quality is very tasty. Overall is very good.
Good food.... Great food, a classic place. All of the fare here has been good - although once it seemed we got a bum chef who was overcooking everything.
Order the SMALL souvlaki - even if you are VERY hungry.
Great deli sandwiches. The portions are gigantic - if you're going with someone I'd suggest sharing.
A very busy, bustling restaurant, casual...
Mike and I were craving Peter's on Eglinton to stuff our faces. Mike had the small souvlaki dinner which was enormous. I had the smoked meat sandwich which was also enormous. It was so enormous, that I took the meat of half a sandwich and leftover co
Feels like you’re eating at your grandparents home for dinner! Generous portions, well seasoned dishes and fantastic customer service — decent prices too. It’s one of my go-to restaurants to bring friends/family who are visiting from out of town.
We ordered small souvlaki dinner (Not small at all!!), calamari for appetizer and ordered the deli corned beef sandwich to go for the S.O. 😊
The food is amazing! The service is great and the old style of the restaurant is cozy and nice!
My boyfriend and I ordered the small souvlaki plate with fries and carrot cake as a dessert. The souvlaki is delicious and more than enough for one person, the fries were a little bit overcooked but it was okay, the carrot cake was fantastic and we are definitely coming back soon.
Even though it took a little while to get our food it was worth it the time we waited.
We can't wait to come back!!
The food is delicious. The portions are big and the service awesome. The restaurant was busy but the staff made everyone feel special
food is always delicious and the portions are huge. Would recommend to anyone!! been going for like 7 or 8 years. Best scallops around and service is friendly and fast.
What a great place I can’t say enough good things about it. From the service to the cozy atmosphere to the delicious food it was WAY above average all the way around. Plenty of parking and lots of seating in the restaurant makes things very convenient. A large menu with many options to choose from you’re bound to find something you like and chances are they will make it really well. Portion sizes are large and the prices are reasonable for the amount of quality ingredient food you get. All the staff are super friendly and helpful and the food comes out fairly quick and always fresh. I hadn’t been here in years and it’s just as good if not better than how I remember it which is always a good thing so I’d highly recommend trying it out one day if you’re in that neck of the woods 💯🏆💯
Great old school dinner with friendly waiters and waitresses that know how to chat and crack jokes. The portions are large and it's good quality at a decent price. You can tell they've perfected their dishes since they're always consistent. The chopped beef steak is a great choice, the patty has a nice char while still being juicy and the gravy works well. It comes with fried onions, vegetables, and potatoes, I substitute for fries, which all work well. They start you off with the soup of the day. The large pork souvlaki dinner is to big to finish but that's ok, the left overs are just as good. It's a great place to eat at every once in awhile.
