Review Coach House Restaurant - Toronto

June 2022: Permanently closed. The family retired. November 2021: I believe the term "temporarily closed" to describe this establishment should be revisited. Perhaps "indefinitely" is more appropriate given the amount of time that has gone by. MAY 05, 2019: I firmly believe that tips are earned and not freely given as if a societal requirement to eating out. Sitting at a small booth across from the main counter and not five feet away from the coffee pot, my order of chopped steak and eggs arrives quickly on this quiet Sunday morning. And that is the last I see of my Waiter. Any hope of further service from him or other staff quickly evaporates. Pretty much like my coffee I might add. I eat my meal, read, watch the news on television and wait. I see the coffee pot make several outings from behind the counter and customers cups are refilled. Even the guy sitting behind me is delighted with being offered a fresh brew. And I mean sitting right behind me. But me? Nope. Not a drop. I even see, in dismal hope perhaps, staff helping themselves to the brew and think maybe that’s just what I should do but resist the temptation. Now I’m not an easy guy to miss. I’m not the type to blend with the décor but for some reason, today, I am invisible. Not once am I even asked if my meal is alright. Adding to my early morning experience, one customer is heard telling his Waiter to wake up. A second customer sneezes SEVEN times into his hands before handling the debit machine while a Waitress sneezes and snorts before serving. And so after one full hour of waiting, I stand, pay my bill and leave NO TIP. Happy Cinco De Mayo! I should have stayed in bed. *** Classic family run Diner that has been in business for over four decades with fair food for the price. Good coffee and the chopped steak is well seasoned. Booths and counter seating at the front with larger room at the back for groups. Polite, friendly service with a smile even on super early days when my own eyes are still blurry. Expect to get what you pay for. Medium rare steak is borderline hockey puck but a good size and two out of three over easy eggs ain't bad. Given the price, a scoop of peas or mixed veggies with the hot turkey dinner (or other such meal) would be welcomed. Clean floor and tables.

Early to mid 60s era independently owned diner. Food is decent. Nothing fancy. Just honest cooking with nice portions and warm service. But if you choose to enter this place then that is probably what you are looking for. Popular breakfast joint with traditional bacon and egg options. Homefries are simple slices of potatoes so that makes a nice change from the usual cubes of potatoes. Decor is likely unchanged since it was opened. Again nothing fancy just honest. Staff are probably the original or at least have been there for decades. Not overbearing but nicely attentive.

Went here today for lunch. Service is slow & not that professional. Food was good but on the pricier side for Chicken souvlaki for $11.50 plus tax. Good portions. I ordered a burger to go but they didn't even put any sauce or ask about it when I ordered. The burger just came plain. Tables were a bit sticky & not thoroughly cleaned. I would go to Hero Burger or other burger place close by instead and save on tips then come here for mediocre service...

Nice portions, fair prices, fast service. Unique homely vibe and a nice breakfast selection. The busy restaurant on a very snowy Sunday just shows how popular this restaurant is!

Good experience. Family owned establishment. Food and environment very similar to that of their home country Greece. Good service and all-round nice experience. If you're looking for a quick bite and good service this is your place.

Had a really great time here with my son. We were here at lunch, it wasn't that busy when we were here. Staff were very friendly and attentive to our needs. This is what I believe to be a family run restaurant. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone and plan on going again.

Classic old school brunch place with great service. The veggie omlete is decent with enough veggie to keep you full and healthy. Great home fried potatoes. Will definitely try their house breakfast if I'm in a mood for a big breakfast next time.

62 year old diner with decor to match. I had the all day breakfast for about 10 bucks. Eggs were very good but the bacon and hash browns were a bit tasteless.

When visiting our son we had a fantastic breakfast here a couple of times. Best cup of tea outside of Scotland. If looking for great food friendly staff at a great price this is the place to go.

Best place for breakfast and lunch. The staff always friendly and food is consistant.

Great place for a quick and delicious breakfast, Fast service; friendly staff and good portions for the price.

Been coming for 25 years. Saturday morning would not be the same. Great (real) food. Breakfast is to die for. Great service from the actual owners who have immense pride it what they do. Its like home.

Awesome � great price, quick and easy. Old dinner!

The best breakfast in Toronto! Home fries and pancakes are the bomb.

great place, owners are wonderful, food always good

Always a great meal at a great price and great staff

Love this secret find. Small, dated and that's just fine! Been there 60 years. Family owned. I've had the open faced turkey sandwich with fries twice now....really good! They don't rush you. Their motto is "see you tomorrow"...

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just what the Dr ordered! Good old comfort food!

Great food nice people
