    This is an authentic diner that has been here "forever".  You've gotta go just to say you ate in a restaurant called "Motorama" and to see their sign that is probably older than your dad.

    Breakfast was solid, and the efficient waitress was loud and entertaining.  The home fries were very good (though some were a bit undercooked) and my breakfast mates reported that both the eggs benny and bacon were good too!

    Next time I'll sit at the counter on a stool and pretend it's the 40's.

    Motorama was one of those places that I kept passing by saying "yea I'll totally check out that place next time!" but I just never did. So after 3 years of walk-by's I finally decided to check this place out with my friend. We hit it before 11am so that we could still take part of our free coffee (I had tea cause coffee is GROSS) with our all day breakfast deals.

    UM - WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T I KNOW THIS PLACE WAS DELICIOUS?

    Seriously for $5.35 (taxes incl.) I got 3 wide strips of lightly spiced bacon, two eggs, 2 pieces of toast and these hash browns which I wanted to motorboat.

    I don't know what was on those hash browns - it was probably just salt and pepper for all I know, but I couldn't get them into my mouth fast enough.

    I don't know why it took me so long to discover breakfast at this place, even though it is a bit of a dive, I'm totally a dive-diner girl. But once I left I didn't feel at all greasy and my wallet still had plenty of cash left to burn. Perhaps for another round in the evening?! MOAR HASH BROWNS!

    More grease on the east (Yum). *3.5 stars.

    I was in the exact same boat as Nicole C: I'd passed by Motorama so many times over the last three years, that I finally bit the bullet and popped in for a hangover breakfast and, man, am I glad I did.

    This is a classic spoon. Lots of greasy, super-friendly staff (I'm pretty sure I was referred to as "sweetie", "honey" and "sugar pie" during breakfast. Sure, that looks good on screen now, but it was waaaay less cute the longer I went without a Caesar.

    The food was dirt cheap, really tasty (real home fries!) and came out before I whimpered through my second cup of coffee.

    A small word of warning: I think some of the clientele from the lovely bars farther east (see my pub Danforth pub crawl list) roll in here for their first beer of the morning.

    Looking forward to visiting without the apocalypse in my head.
