Big Disappointment.
After a night of drinking my friend kept imploring us to check out this all-you-can-eat breakfast place.
Food was sub-par on nearly all fronts. Now I knew going into it that a restaurant which caters all you can eat breakfast foods wasn't going to be the greatest in town, but this was just awful. The "potato puffs" were the lone standouts which didn't need any coating of syrup to ingest.
Ah yes, the coup de grâce, awful orange juice for a steep $3.
Service was TERRIBLE. Was brought drinks when first seated and the waitress disappeared, after asking another waitress nearby for re-fills no progress in our luck.
All this for $20? No thanks, and never again.
Worst friend ever. -

I had high hopes for this place when my friend kept ranting and raving about how amazing their breakfast buffet is. But I was not too pleased.
The location was nice. And thats about all this place had going for it.
Before I start: note that I had the buffet and everything I say from here on out is about that experience.
The service was absolute garbage. We seen our waitress twice: once to seat us, and once to take our money. I hate this custom of tipping we have here in North America! It's stupid! If you don't earn your tip, you don't get a tip. The way I do it is I start with whatever I expect 25% of my bill to be (thats generous) and then every time something happens where the service appeared to be lacking I take off 25 cents. Following that rule this meal would have earned the waitress a whopping $3.50 but I found myself asking "where the hell is our waitress" so often that there was no tip left to leave. She should have been paying me for bearing such terrible service! But when I think about this now I wonder if, due to the fact that we were having the buffet if they sort of leave you to yourself. Either way I needed a refill of water really bad.
What was supposed to be a hangover breakfast after a night of 151 and coke, and tequila shots, we needed A LOT of water and good hangover food (which breakfast food usually is).
This food was dry and tasteless for the most part. The best thing on the buffet were the "potato puffs" which were obviously dumped in a pan from a McCain Tater Tot's bag.
I think the best part of my experience here was listening to the little girl argue with the balloon guy about what color the flower she wanted should be. (But I'm sure he won't be there every time someone visits this place).
Overall, Golden Griddle might have a good name but this location didn't fulfill that at all. I advise you seek out another one and then leave a review here until we have found the best location in Toronto ;)
