Talk about good... the girls had fritatas and I had the steak and eggs... my steak was 'blue' as requested and it was excellent...
Overall this is a great breakfast option in the Beaches neighborhood... it's also in a great location to go for an after breakfast walk (down to the beach)... -

My boyfriend and I come here all the time. It's our favourite place to eat breakfast. We both always get the All Day Breakfast with scrambled eggs, sausage, home fries, and toast. I love all of it.
Yes, it is not for people who are looking to eat healthy. If you want to eat fruit and egg whites for breakfast, don't go here. But it's not too greasy to the point of being disgusting. I've never been sick from it and the portions are massive. I usually end up eating the rest of the meal later on in the day.
The service is good. We've gotten take-out once and it was fast and delicious as always. It would be nice if they took debit, I guess, but a $20 bill is always enough for the two of us. -

I think I take this place for granted. We've lived in the Beach for almost 20 years, and I've only been there half a dozen times. Always figure, "why wait in line when there are always other options"?
I met a friend there today (Saturday) at 9-ish, and it wasn't busy at all. I had the vegetarian omelet (mushrooms, onion, tomatoes and spinach, if memory serves) and it was very good. Well above average for a "greasy spoon". Friend had the "Popeye" (spinach, cheese and smoked ham?) and was very pleased as well. Homefries and thick toast were excellent as well.
I guess I should go back a bit more often...with CASH in hand (What up wit dat, SG???)Listed in: Breakfast places, Diners, Greasy Spoons and…

The restaurant is very nice. It's a very casual and laid back atmosphere. I had eggs, homefries, and bacon. It was really a good breakfast!
I've been going here for my entire life, my parents would bring us down to the beaches and then we would go out for breakfast.
Good prices too.
Very traditional breakfast. -

This is the place you should go to if you want to see your breakfast about 30 minutes after you've ingested it. Is that TMI?
I don't know anyone who can properly digest the breakfast here. It is *that* greasy. I'm not sure if that is an endorsement or a warning, you decide.
My SO had the eggs benny which he described as the "greasiest, heaviest" version of the dish he has ever had. Ugh. Hollandaise sauce is an art people, not a competition in calories (altho it's full of those too).
The food is decent, but it is far from the best option in the area. If you are craving something greasy (read: have a wicked hangover) I suppose it's worth a try, but when you find yourself running to the nearest bathroom, don't blame it on the night before.Listed in: The Beach, Brunching My Face Off

Ok, so this is jut an update to my absolute favorite breakfast joint in Toronto. I now eat here twice a week on the weekends....I would eat here more if work did not impede;) I have tried too many other breakfast places in Toronto to count and can honestly say that no one comes close to Sunset on Queen Street. Great Food, Great Service, and Great Value! Doesn't get any better than this.

This place is one of my absolute fav spots for breakfast. It's well worth the trek out to the Beaches for their amazing waffles, eggs and french toast. The place is somewhat small and there is almost always a wait on the weekends, but tables turn fast. If you can get there during the week you really get to appreciate the small Mom and Pop feel of the place over a great endless cup of coffee. It's right on the Queen East Beaches strip with shops and parks all around for a leisurely day after a great breakfast!

Sunset Grill is the perfect place for a weekend brunch. Customers are lined up out the doors on the weekend but the wait goes by fast as you and the other members of your party pick out your favourite cat drawings on a huge poster titled "100 Cats and 1 Mouse" that hangs in the entryway.
The service is fairly fast, the wait staff friendly, and the food cooked up fresh. I always opt for the default breakfast spread - 3 eggs, bacon, home fries & toast. It is on the greasy & heavy side, but the generous portions are overall pleasing.
I recommend a post-brunch stroll of local Queen St. East shopping or walking along the lakefront boardwalk to help with digestion. -

Did someone order a ridiculously oversized dish? Oh wait - everyone must have because the portion sizes at Sunset Grill are ridiculous. An omelette made with what seemed like 6 eggs combined with homefries and toast was too much for any average human to eat.
Other than that I enjoyed the atmosphere (nicer inside than you would expect from the outside) and the greasy-spoon menu has lots of options.
I will definitely be returning to this restaurant, the location and low prices make it worth trying again. I'll make sure I'm very hungry and maybe bring a friend to share my dish with. -

Why anyone would wait in line for this place baffles me (thick toast???..please!)

This is the place to go if u are in the mood for a true classic dinner breakfast. The restaurant is on the small side, sit near the back, there is seating near the grill but it gets very hot there. Our waitress was funny, even though she was serving half the restaurant she was friendly to everyone. The coffee is hot, and every sight of an empty mug she comes right over and tops you up. I had the classic breakfast consisting of 3 eggs bacon toast and homefries. Considering their location they could really up the price but they keep it reasonable, 6.95 on the weekends. i definetely reccomend the sunset grill.

Sunday morning, 9 am - ish, after a night of fun and enough alcohol consumption, got woken up, well more of got pushed out of bed to make breakfast. Checked fridge, not enough eggs for two. Checked coffee, no coffee.
So we decided to drive down a couple blocks to Queen St. E, The Beach ( and yes I like to call it The Beach instead of The Beaches, one syllable shorter, easier to say and sounds cooler). Was hard to find a parking spot at first but after 5 minutes or so, we end up parking in front of this restaurant, with people walking and in out, like H&M or GAP on boxing day. I can smell bacon and over boiled - not poached - eggs, from the outside, so we decided to walk in.
Luckily there is no line up, even tho the place seemed packed, we got our table right away, sat down and had our about to be devoured hangover breakfast order taken away. I had their steak and eggs, the steak is not how I really wanted it, but my friend ordered it for me as I went to the bathroom ( and there's this bathroom story later). She got me medium - well, but its ok, it's a breakfast steak, can't expect too much. My over easy eggs were over easy, home fries were seasoned nicely, and my brown toast were brown and nicely toasted. The lovely lady who served our table were lovely, friendly and very pleasant. My friend seemed to have enjoyed here breakfast, can't really remember what she had. Service was quick and fast, it was quast. They don't accept debit though, so bring cash. Its cheap, so you will not need to bring a lot, our bill end up around $20.00, so its not bad at all, and you get to walk around and enjoy The Beach!
The Bathroom Story:
I went to the bathroom, did my thing (the thing where I have to stand up and release some waste fluid out of my body, and not the dirty alone lonely thing), then suddenly I heard noises, farm noises! There was a cow, chicken, hmm maybe horses. I opened the cubicle, thinking maybe there's some kind of a farm in there , and making sure I'm not drunk still or something. But it was empty, nothing! Then the cow mooooooed again, I looked up and there's a speaker on top, they play farm noises in the bathroom, weird thing to play but gave me a story to tell. -

Went here (somewhat) recently with Kat F. What can I say about this place?
1. Busy - lots of people come here, though the line moves pretty quickly, and food is VERY quick to arrive. The immense pile of hashbrowns-in-progress as you are whisked past the kitchen area to your table is a sight to behold.
2. Space - there isn't much. Walking past the other tables on the way to ours at the back was a bit of a challenge, but once we got there it was comfortable. I seem to recall hitting my head on a light fixture though - not sure. Head injuries can be like that, though :) *
3. Food - lots of it, very tasty, and as I said, arrived quickly.
4. Service - waitress was friendly, knew the menu, and was efficient.
5. Price - reasonable to very good. I got a lot of omelette for $10ish.
6. Methods of payment - in this, the 21st century, I have a real problem with cash only businesses - especially those that will gladly cut out a chunk of counter at the front to install a white label ATM rather than get Moneris to install a terminal. Hey, Sunset Grill: Get a freaking PIN pad already. Credit and debit are essentially de rigueur at this point.
* - Found that one out the hard way. Not here, elsewhere. -

By far the worst eggs benedict I have ever had. I tried it twice, thinking that maybe the first time was an off day as I have had it at other sunset grill locations and it's fantastic, however at the beaches location the hollandaise is lumpy and gritty and under seasoned. What's worse is that when I complained that their hollandaise was off (I almost said the words baby vomit) they told me that that's they way it's supposed to but, perhaps hoping that that was the first eggs benedict I've ever eaten, well they were wrong and I'll never go back, at least not until they improve there food to the standards of other sunset locations. If you want sunset grill try the one on danforth.
