    And today when I went back for the same meal mentioned below, the man at the cash (ari?) said he read my review and gave me free coffee! Perfect ending to one of the most ideal hangover breakfasts.

    Was this review …?

    Sure, kindasorta trendy and swankier Sunrise is up the street, but if you're like me, you enjoy giving the business to tried-and-true family efforts.  Ari seems to have made the mark for breakfast places along the Roncy strip, having once been The Man behind another resto that (this has gotta hurt) actually still bears *his* name.

    Aris Grill is a greasyspoon diner par excellence, offering solid, stick-to-your-ribs breakfasts made by friendly and approachable people.  (I've even had the experience of my server offering me fresh, homemade... like, for real homemade... raspberry jam straight from the mason jar.)

    Some tips:  If you're a pancakes-and-eggs person, get the Big Breakfast instead of the pancakes and eggs: it's the same price and more bang for your buck.  Try their liver and onions.  Ask for the password for their free Wifi.

    Just remember:  it is a greasyspoon, so expect to know that everything was made on the massive griddle there.  That includes "vegetarian" options, so be warned, rabbitfood eaters: even your nibbles will have been made directly next to the bacon and sausages.

    Small and a bit shoddy, but run by nice people. OK place for greasy all-day breakfast.

    Quick, tasty, fast, Ari's Grill has it in spades! If I'm craving/desiring/desperate for a giant filling breakfast for under $10 on Roncesvalles I know where to look!

    I had the malted waffle combo with eggs and bacon and it was more than enough food for me, but it was so tasty I finished it in no time!

    Unfortunately I was already hyper caffeinated at the time and didn't try the coffee so I can't compare to my other lovely brunch places in the neighbourhood.

    The staff were quick to take the order and just as quick bringing it by. Everything was nice and warm and smelled fantastic!

    The atmosphere isn't very fancy, it strikes me as a great quick-bite place, not much coziness to be had, I do wish the tables were slightly larger as the platters and glasses took up almost the entire table!

    I'll definitely be back though, those malted waffles...droool.

    Seriously, if you like every single thing you eat to be cooked on a griddle with pig juice go here.  As a vegetarian and having ordered and partially eaten the greasy home-fries and `vegetable` omelet I was then horrified to see how it was made when I went up to pay.  Right next to the bacon with the juices used to cook my meat-free lunch.  I feel sick writing this.

    The waitress and cook, who were very friendly by the way, acted as if I was talking a foreign language when I asked if anything they served did not come off the grill plate.  Not healthy and not clean.  The year is 2010 and they should know better.

    Hang on... This place is called Aris Grill, while there's a place just down Roncesvalles called Aris Place... coincidence? Nope.

    Aris Athanaselos, whose family runs Aris Place, retired a few years ago, but apparently couldn't sit still and wanted to get back into the diner biz. The scuttlebutt is that they wouldn't let him back into Aris Place, so he started a similar (but subtly different) operation up the street.

    Aris Grill is brighter and more cheerful than its decades-old predecessor, and focuses more on the breakfast/brunch trade, and also makes specialty sandwiches. They don't do big dinners here like they do at the other Aris, but their breakfast specials are on longer.

    Aris is so amazing. The cooks and waitresses are nice. It must be a high percent of the world that is a meat eater and people that go to breakfast and brunch places are obv eating bacon and sausage and other meats, to the vegatarian girl. Why didn't you order a Greek Salad. I like their big breakfast, Club House and Greek Salad also the coffees good. Its amazing service and its inexpensive.
