 1. Fifth Wheel Truck Stop

40 Chisholm Drive
Milton, ON L9T 3G9
(905) 878-8441
4.0 star rating
  7/23/2011 First to Review

I was wanting a beer with lunch, and sure, I could have stopped into the megachain pub that was next door... but something about Fifth Wheel called me.  Maybe it was my father's voice.

My Dad, you see, was a big boy.  And one thing he taught me was…More »

Neighbourhood: High Park

4.0 star rating

One of my favourite occasional vices is to treat myself to a good breakfast out when I'm off from work.  There's nothing quite like starting an entire day to oneself with a homecooked, sumptuous, solid meal.

Which is exactly what you'll get out of the…More »

226 Esna Park Dr
Markham, ON L3R 1H3
(905) 943-9585

It`s sad, because I get the sense that these folks really want to succeed, and because it`s clear from their diverse and widely variable lunch menu specials that they want to offer a lot.  But, in the end, um, meh.

Ok, fine, maybe one shouldn`t expect…More »

 4. Mars Food

432 College St

I liked the fact that Mars, the "Muffin King since 1951," remains a College Street staple and serves a perfectly fine breakfast.  But apart from this, I thought it was pretty unremarkable.

Yeah, the breakfast was fine, standard and inexpensive.  It's…More »

53 Roncesvalles Ave
Toronto, ON M6R

Categories: Bagels, Sandwiches

Neighbourhoods: Parkdale, Roncesvalles

4.0 star rating
  Update - 9/12/2011

With a new owner, Naturalis is now the Seventh Sister Bakery.  This is a good thing.

Now, their treats are all baked on-premises, soups are made from scratch, and salads and other tasties have been added to the menu.  Naturalis' bagel enthusiasts will…More »

  5/13/2009

One of the few, and probably last, truly 24-hour greasyspoon diners in the city, and still with the same formica counter that graced the place when your grandfather had his morning coffee there.  It's not classy but it's classic, not cuisine but it…More »

If you don't mind your food to be uninspired and greasy, your beer of the flattest consistency, and prepared by a crotchety, shouting slavedriver and served by hired-for-eye-candy, usually only-moderately-skilled servers, this is the dive for you.
