Cheap breaky alert!
How can you NOT love this place" they have an early morning special where you can get a full breakfast for UNDER 5$
It's a great location for something quick in the midst of financial district and close to the mall.
free refill coffee- which I always expect with restaurants but sometimes they don't offer, or the servers aren't attentive to the fact that my blood only circulates when it has 75% caffeine content
oh yes, and once i brought a friend over (yeah that's right..i suually like to have breakfast alone) and he was attempting to pick out some options and rearrange to get the optimal breakfasy combo- the server said, "no, you probably don't want to do that" and THEN suggested the EXACT same combination of food but in a CHEAPER way- "this way you save money!" she said.
How can you NOT love it when the server WANTS to save you money on a 5 buck breakfast?
Yes, I love it here.

As a caveat, this review is for the Queen St East location, near Kew Beach.
At first it looked inviting, service was friendly and quick. However, the ventilation is not great and there is a haze of smoke that permeates everything. We ordered the spicy omelette and the spicy frittata, with the latter having only egg whites. Both arrived with very large chunks of tomatoes and jalepeno peppers which made the egg dishes wet and unappetizing.
On the positive side, the portions were generous and the coffee was decent.

Mediocre food at relatively cheap prices.
We ate:
Spinach and swiss omelette, leathery and unevenly cooked.
Waffles, soggy and overwhelmed by egginess.
Home fries, crumbly with the burnt bits slipping off and the good bits hard to find.
We paid:
$16 before tip.
Environment is roughly like a diner but without anything special going on. You could be at a rural truck stop or in the middle of NYC and nothing about the place would tell you where.
If you need cheap breakfast cooked for you, drop by. Otherwise, cook your own or hit up another breakfast restaurant.

The fresh orange juice was so good. Big plates with reasonable prices.

Truly a cookie cutter "diner style" breakfast experience from location to location. I'm in love with SG's hash browns but the eggs are always too soft/undercooked - a case of the loosies is practically guaranteed so don't stray too far from a bathroom while your body digests.
Dirt cheap.

Ah, the omnipresent all-day-breakfast diner. What better place to come here after getting out of bed at 1 pm on a Sunday?
I've always had a weakness for eggs florentine and the version at Sunset is what you should expect at a greasy spoon. Mmmm, the rich yolk as it soaks into my English muffins. And you know it ain't good for you, but the Hollandaise here must be the saltiest and the oiliest I've ever had; it practically sticks to your arteries.
And the homefries, the homefries. Salty, cripsy, white starch. I do love you despite what good nutrition says. You are small, bite-sized and cooked perfectly so that they crumble lightly in the mouth.
Definitely a secret guilty pleasure.

I'm giving this place 4 stars. I don't care about the other 2 people that gave it 3 stars.
I was walking around downtown Toronto Labor Day morning in search of a cafe with wifi. Sadly, this proved to be difficult, as the city seemed dead. I was still hopeful, but then pangs of hunger started to affect my vision. I was clawing at the sides of the buildings with the cafes that were closed. I happened to turn my head to the left while on Victoria Street (heading north), when I saw a mass of people outside this establishment. I trotted over (jaywalked too!), and put my name in for 1. I was seated quickly. I looked over the smallish menu, and decided on the "French Connection." Just coming ffrom Montreal, I thought this was fit, but in reality, I just wanted some French Toast with my eggs and bacon.
The drinks came with the meal (which I didn't care, some like it prior; also it was really busy), and it was very amazingly delicious. I had trouble typing it because I thought about the food as if I were eating it now. 5 strips of bacon, 2 scrambled eggs, a side of home fries, and 2 slices of French Toast. I was in heaven.
Maybe it was because I was hungrier than I have ever been (slight exaggeration?), maybe it was that there was no wifi and I couldn't distract myself from the taste, but it was good, and I ate it all.
For some reason, the food in Canada isn't cheap, I spent $17 Canadian here ($12 food, $5 tip [lot of tip, but what's the point of leaving 3 bucks?]). Usually this meal would've cost about $8 US. Whatever, I was happy, and the walk back to my hotel room was like walking in air.

Pretty good. It was the shortest walk from our hotel that was still serving breakfast at noon. I liked the potatoes. Not crazy about the ham. Delicious bagel and cream cheese. Eggs were, well, eggs. Oh, and chocolate milk :-)

Craving breakfast mid day and stumbled upon this spot. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The food arrived quickly, in overly generous portions, and was absolutely delicious. I'd definitely recommend it.

Solid breakfast spot. Get there early to avoid the weekend lineups. A bit pricey if you get premium items like fresh squeezed OJ or real maple syrup but all around one of the best breakfast spots around. +s: big portions, eggs bene, good service. -s: lineups if you're there after 10.

Sometimes I'm too tired to flip an egg on a Sunday morning. And so, if all I need to do for food is wake up, walk down the street, and miserably point to an item on a menu, I suppose that's pretty cool thing.
But sometimes I want more. A little creativity wouldn't hurt you, Sunset. And it offers much less than the same at hole-in-the-wall diners, costing a lil' more at the same time.
Despite that, it's an average breakfast joint, with basic breakfasts, and I have no real complaints. (Except: don't order the pancakes. They taste like they're made of flour, water, and nothing else.)
Although this branch is nowhere near as busy as the one in the Beaches, it still gets pretty busy. Probably because everyone else is like me and can think of better things to do than flip those eggs on a Sunday morning.

same eggs and pancakes and waffles, and lil steaky bits for breakfast, same blackwater/coffee but if you ask me you can find better places, Zet's in mississauga, or even Dennys or Cora or the Grille, they're better and have better accommodations as well, I am 5'11'' so not the tallest person in the world but the chairs and tables were sort of cramping and cheap and uncomfy, the only good thing, pretty good french toast, i did like them and thats why the three stars otherwise it's just a two star.

Sunset Grill is a great place for breakfast if you're looking for a standard eggs meat and toast meal that isn't coated in a solid inch of grease. The menu includes all the basics (eggs, pancakes, omelettes) as well as fruit and granola bowls and hamburgers (which are so yummy). The chain has been rapidly expanding over the past few years, and there's locations downtown (Yonge and Richmond, Yonge and Wellseley), midtown (Yonge and Eglinton) and others in the Beach, High Park, Dundas West, and the Danforth. The Grill is a breakfast and lunch place only, and while they serve breakfast "all day" that only means the hours they're open, so don't count on getting your a.m. food fix past 4 p.m.
