Richie S.'s Profile

Caffs, Diners and Greasy spoons

After a nice compliment from my new buddy Dil, I've decided to share a list of those quality establishments that may have dried ketchup and egg yolks permanently stuck to the tables, but I still choose to frequent as much as my quickly-hardening arteries will allow.

1. The Harbord Room

89 Harbord St
Toronto, ON M5S 1G4

Only been here a few times and only for brunch...and very hungover...but it was quite enjoyable each visit.

I come for the breakfast eaten at lunch and I stay for their Caesar.

Great little greasy spoon in downtown Oakville.

Clean, basic menu with fair prices (the Protein Booster - 6 oz steak, 2 large eggs, toast and homefries) is less than $11.

Great service...with a smile.

Found my way in here on a Sunday…More »

After seeing an ad in the local Beaver (http://www.insidehalto... , you perverts), I decided to try this place out. There aren't that many greasy spoons in Halton*, but I have no problem trying to find all of them.

Located in a strip mall at Fourth…More »

***1.5 Star***

I visit here every once in a while for the Eggs Milestone. Tasty goodness. That is now the only reason - this is my first sub-2 star review.

I haven't eaten supper here in yonks, so when I was given a $25 gift card for something I can't…More »

I like this place.

Friendly staff, perfect brunch food with the option of booze. I had the burrito with avocado and it was day-lish-yeu. Tried a bite of the buttermilk pancakes and cheddar biscuits too. Fantastical.

Hipsters, eh?

I've witnessed the opposite: lesss hipster, more family. I was up to twice a month here for Sunday brunch for a year or so...god I'm lazy.

I have to agree with EC re: burnt potats and runny egg. But the addition of fennel in the…More »

Converted from a McDonald's from days of yore.

Great place to watch an EPL footie game on weekends. Will be packed during World Cup too. Decor is your standard pub - stucco, dark panelling, brass plates and a few books thrown around here and there.…More »

***3.5 Stars***

Dynasi was an oasis of eggs and hashbrowns in the middle of farmers fields up until 5-10 years ago.

It has a family-run, greasy spoon feel to it. Friendly staff and a menu that is limited (specifically on breakfasts) but still provide…More »

Friendly staff to a clientelle that ranges from truck drivers to old people to business professionals from around the area. The most harrowing thing is parking in between rigs.

Great little greasy spoon, even though they wouldn't like being called…More »

Recently updated lists from Richie S.

It rubs the lotion on it's skin... (10) Places where men can go to get their pretty on. ...creepy List Name, huh?!	Skip these if given a choice. (10) Lets keep this one basic - a list of places that I would now have to bribed somewhat to even think about returning. No joke.
Great, but (10) Here's a list of fantastic places that just aren't quite "there" yet.	Good places to help you dress like a Man (8) Well, if I can't act like one, at least I can fool some of you by dressing like one.
Mmmmeat (15) If it were socially acceptable (and healthy) to eat red meat at every meal, I would load up my bbq in a Radio Flyer and pull it everywhere I went. Instead, I am forced to search for establishments that either serve-up or will sell me glorious mounds of animal flesh.	Fine Dining Establishments (8) Hey, because I'm pretentious like that! Places I've frequently visited (and in turn either sold my first born, or a kidney).
The Best of Oakvegas (15) For those brave enough to venture forth into what was the Original Cottage-Country, Oakville has some of the best establishments around.	French Places (20) I've always had a fetish for French eateries. Full-fledged restos, bistros or boites - it doesn't matter. I'm just getting around to as many as possible. But cut me some slack; I'm on the case and I'm going as fast as my lazy ass can. Maybe it's b/c I judge everyone / everything and generally think I'm better than everyone else. It's the frenchie in me!
French Places, not in France, but in the GTA (16) I'm on a mission to get to as many Good French place in Ontario as possible before I need a bigger pant size. Here's the list so far.	Everybody go Hotel, Motel, Holiday Inn (10) Places to stay while away. No, they don't do "hourly".
