Review from Behrooz A.

Food : Breakfast portions are very generous (see pictures). Our order of overeasy eggs were cooked just right. Three pieces of slightly overcooked but tasty peameal bacon are served. Home fries are slightly undercooked while the french fries is cooked just right! There are refills for tea and coffee and two toasted buttered breads are standard.
Ambiance: There is a charming family business feel to this place. Fish decorations on the walls and diner style desks and chairs.On late Monday morning, the place had about 10 guests which seemed like regulars.
Price: Breakfasts are very well priced, approx $8 buys you (1-3) eggs, 3 pieces of peameal bacon, fries, 2 full pieces of buttered toast, refillable cofee/tea.
What I really enjoyed about this place is their philosophy of NOT nickle and diming the customer: no extra cost for additional eggs (1, 2 , 3 eggs all the same price); one free refill of your coffee or tea; and the huge portions of meat and bread compared to other breakfast places.
Service: The lady serving us was very kind, respectful, and attentive. Food arrived quickly and she refilled our tea and coffee without us having to ask. -

The Toronto Lover system:
5 stars = Must visit!
4 stars = Really good. I take my friends here.
3 stars = Somewhat worth it... if you have nowhere better to go.
2 stars = Below average. Attend only when necessary.
1 star = Do not visit!
The Fry Basket is a staple right on the Thornhill/North York border that serves up fatty, meaty, gigantic breakfasts and home burgers at good prices. If Norm and Cliff left Cheers at 6am in the morning, this is where they would head for an omelette.
People come here to forget their diets. The bacon and 3 eggs special ($7) comes with about 43 strips of bacon and a few pounds of tasty home fries. They are usually very good about service, and refill your coffee dutifully as you stuff your mouth with cholesterol. There's nothing healthy in here, but the value is great if you're looking for a filling meal at a good price. Regulars love the fish and burgers, but I would opt for the breakfast just to see the bacon.
They don't make them like this anymore.

I went for lunch with my spouse, and we were not left wanting! The restaurant is quite small, and the tables were more than half full, but the atmosphere was relaxed and quiet. The waitress was prompt, kind, and attentive. We split a 2 piece halibut and chips meal, and the pieces of fish were a bit larger than the average paper back novel - huge portions. The food was prepared within a couple of minutes from ordering, and we were impressed by the prompt service. We couldn't finish all of the fries between the two of us, but we both left very satisfied.
For the lunch crowd, I would suggest giving this place a try. The service and food prep were so quick that anyone with an hour long lunch break can easily fit this place into their schedule. -

I come to the Fry basket for both breakfast and fish, but not at the same time!
No Breakfast place that I know serves 6 huge pieces of bacon! A gigantic tasty order of homefries.
Just the one piece of Fish n' Chips is enough for me, the size and quality of the halibut they serve is nothing like any other Fish n' Chip restaurant I tried. I always change the fries to homefries.
Service is always friendly and lovely. Warm and cozy atmosphere and awesome food. If you like a really nice, well prepared home cooked meal, you really can't go wrong with any of the choices and prices.
The only downfall to this place is they have crazy hours and are not open late, but other then that, I like it!
