Review from David M.
Toronto, ON

3.25 Stars.
Voula has owned this restaurant since 1991, but it sounds like there's been a restaurant at this location for decades. Get her talking...she's friendly.
My friends and I all had the standard breakfasts, which were just slightly above average. The home fries were excellent, and the watermelon garnish was a nice touch. The establishment loses 1/4 stars for the .75 coffee refill. What's up with that, Voula? We've been to well over 60 diners and dives in Toronto now (see list) and this has never happened before. Occasionally, a menu will list "one refill" or "refills extra" but those policies have never been enforced.
If you're in the neighbourhood and want a diner breakfast, this place will fill the bill. Don't go TOO far out of your way, though.Listed in: Breakfast places, Diners, Greasy Spoons and…

Review from Nicole C.
A mom friend and I stumbled upon this little place one day when we decided to take a casual walk to Canadian Tire. It had to be the hottest most humid day of the summer so far and you know you're in trouble when you're like: its just a few more blocks...a few more blocks...a few more....where the fuck is it!? IT WAS SO FAR.
So without any sort of breakfast in us we stopped in at Smileys for a bite and as much liquids as our bladders can handle.
We each ordered the breakfast with eggs, bacon and toast. The waitress was friendly and brought over two (not so clean) highchairs for the kids and made lots of space for our strollers.
Now, I like divey restaurants...but just something about this place was not only divey but maybe a little seedy too, and I'm not sure if that is good.
The breakfast was tasty but for the portions overpriced - it came out to about $8 which maybe you would pay down the Danforth for the added atmosphere of the place, but here you pretty much feel like you're dining in your grandmother's (the one who doesn't know how to cook THAT well, okay my grandmother) dining room.
All in all it was a good stop made out of necessity, but I won't be rushing back there.
