The Homeway - Toronto

It was shortly before 1pm when we walked over and once inside, the waitress took our name and told us it would be about a 20-min wait. There was only one party before us waiting, but many people joined the line afterwards.<br/ <br/ The decor is very reminiscent of diners of times long ago, and it was a charming place. We browsed the menu while waiting and found a good selection of classic brunch items, sandwiches, and desserts. There was a beautiful cake on display in the window seat, and it was quite tempting.<br/ <br/ Once seated, we all decided to order Eggs Benedict – the other two got the Sinful Benedict $13.50), which came with peameal bacon, while I went with pulled pork in the Hillbilly Heaven $14.50). My friend also got bottomless coffee which rang in at $2.50.

Fantastic eggs Benedict. This is a great place for breakfast with good food, service and a nice patio. The first time I came here it took a while to get my food but in all the times I've been back (4 or 5), the speed of service has picked up considerably.

I came here with my gigantic family on Saturday morning with no reservation. They sat us within 5 minutes at a great table. The service was outstanding as well. Our waitress has a smile on her face at all times and made sure our coffee cups were never empty (we had 4 kids under 5 this is important! . The restaurant provided highchairs for both our small ones and coloring menus for the older ones.<br/ <br/ We all enjoyed our food and the coffee was delicious! <br/ <br/ I had the blue berry pancakes with a side of bacon. Nothing to write home about. Next time I would go for one of the eggs benedict options that looked great!

We got there late just as the kitchen was closing. It was just okay. I like it but it was nothing special. Just a descent meal in a decent restaurant. Would go again if I was in the area but wouldn't go out of my way to get there.

Great location. Friendly servers. Good food. Owner can be annoying and once refused to seat me (at atable for two) because my friend wasn't there yet. I can understand this policy for parties of 5 or more but 2....come on! Otherwise it's a great neighborhood joint.
