Stopped in for breakfast while in the west end. It was eggs, it was bacon, it was coffee, it was reasonable. If I'm out here may try again for lunch.
Cheap but good breakfast...disappointed that they don't make soft poached but will make other poached; reason for not making soft poached was "they break". Seriously. Lamest excuse for a non-experienced cooks to make.
Servers were helpful and efficient and the meal was excellent.
The awesome dessert actually looked like the menu picture.
We took a vote and agreed the total experience rated four stars.
their diner stuff seems to be hit and miss, but their wings are big, great, and cheap. $5.95 for a pound everyday which is about 10~11 wings, works out to be around $0.60 a wing approximately. There's only like 8-10 flavours. Suicide and cajun are our favourites. Service is friendly and prompt!
We went for breakfast and were amazed by the offerings (the first time I saw 6 eggs with 3 kinds of meets, 4 slices of toast : THE HULK). We had more traditional plates and were all satisfied. The service was friendly and fast - you never had an empty cup of coffee ! We'll be back.
Oldie but goodie. I have been coming here off and on for years, both as a student and as an adult. Its a great hangout place for friends for any occasion. The bar booths are comfy to watch sports and the staff are friendly. The food is okay, but what I really come here is for breakfast on weekends. I think its a great place to come meet up with a group of people for breakfast. They have large seating areas to accommodate big groups. I do agree with other posters that you will have a mix of college students and blue collared workers, but as someone who has been both I don't think its a problem.
Though the service can sometimes be a bit slow...my boyfriend and I frequent here often. The food is usually very good. They know how to make a mid rare steak better than lots of other places. I haven't tried much of their pastas..but pretty much everything else and never been disappointed.
Breakfast Review. Lots to choose from at very good prices! Scrambled eggs were cooked well, not mushy or runny and roasted potato cubes were nicely seasoned with a toasty flavour and not overly salty or greasy. Ham appeared to be deli Black Forrest ham slices and not sliced real roast ham but, at $3.85 for the dish that's perfectly fine by me! Waitress was very pleasant and offered a top-up on the coffee. We were a bit limited for time and so when I asked for the bill as she picked up our plates, the waitress was polite and prompt to deliver. I highly recommend this breakfast stop, particularly as your start to a busy week day (we went on a Friday morning at 9:30 a.m.).
I've been coming to Summerhays for a while now, and what you see is what you get. Stick with the 35 cent wings and the FAB burger. I don't like how people are complaining about the other food. Who goes to a dive college bar, looking for a 5 star gourmet meal?
As a student I love going to summerhays its a very fun enviroment and has great food. I went there today with a friend and had wings and drinks. I wish they had more drink specials but overall great place.
