I had a lovely meal and our waiter was great. Unfortunately a different waitress felt the need to continually shame my little cousin for “wasting” a little bit of pepper they put on their plate. This lady would not leave us alone, she turned what was a nice breakfast with family into miserable morning. To add to this experience she announced that “the princesses are leaving” to a group of confused and uncomfortable customers.

Big portions off all day breakfast options here. Based on the suggestion of the friendly gentleman server, I got the Carbonator set which comes with a big portion of eggs + toasts + home-fries + pancakes. Definitely a huge portion for a meal for one person and you are likely to be packing your leftovers to go at the end of the meal. I paid a total of about $20 for this entire meal with a free flow of coffee. Overall, the meal here is value for money for freshly cooked breakfast set meal but it would have been better if the home fries were not as overdone as it was and if the eggs could have some fillings added in as well. Furthermore, if there were some fruit options on the side in an attempt to nutritionally balance the meal, it would have been more worthwhile the dining experience.

Portions were big, and service was friendly and nice! Unfortunately the flavor for the home fries and toast were plain. The western omlette was good but the mushroom and cheese, and Spanish omlette fell flat. Would have given it a 4 star review, but the majority of the food was not enjoyable.

Perfect classic breakfast and grilled cheese. Spacious, friendly service and appreciate the pride flag on the window + pride stickers at the cash register. 🏳️‍🌈

We came here early on the weekend for breakfast. The menu is big and there was something for everyone. The portions are quite generous, so come hungry or be prepared for leftovers. The food came hot and fresh. The only note I would add is that while the service is friendly, it is not the most attentive; and, while the atmosphere is fun, the place would benefit from some fresh paint. We will look forward to coming back.

Best pemale bacon ever, get the eggs Benny they are to die for.

Dropped in with my brother for breakfast, noticed it was busy so knew we would be in for a treat. Ordered the big breakfast and it was absolutely massive (1 portion is enough for 2) and totally delicious. The only issue I have is it took forever (both to take the order and to prep it). Would go back again though

I’ve always driven by TSD and have been wanting to try it for years and I can’t believe it took me so long! It’s a blast from the past walking in with the retro interior. It’s so nice, reminds you of how nice times used to be. We got in just before the rush so we didn’t have to wait to be seated. The menu was extensive and everything looked good. I got the eggs Benny and my husband got the French Connection. The food was delicious and the service gives you such a homey feel. It may seem out of the way but it is worth it. 10/10 recommend!

It's decent only because it's cheap but our server didn't bring us cutlery, never checked on us to refill drinks or clear the table. We had to rely on the staff walking by. I got the steak a couple times, ordered it rare and it came medium well, lol if it wasn't only 24 bucks I'd be pissed

Go back in time here in this 1950's diner! I read some reviews that had bad experience with their service, quite the contrary from what I experienced today! Smiles and a few minutes of casual chatting with the owner. Breakfast was delicious, prompt on having our coffees refilled 👌 It's not a pretentious place, and you're not in 2017 while in there, things feel slightly slower...in a good way. I will be back. Ty

If you need a jolt of nostalgia with that classic diner experience then this is your spot. Comfy atmosphere with hearty food to match, our city needs more experiences like this. Times Square Diner doesn't take shortcuts. You will level very satisfied. Locally owned and operated since 1947... That says everything.

Great place for breakfast. Food is quick , good value and very tasty. Next time you are around Downsview Park come in for a meal. Thanks for keeping us fed and safe during the pandemic

One of the best diners in the GTA. Great food and great staff. Old school vibes with stellar service. 5/5 on every aspect. No wonder they’ve been around for so long. Keep doing your thing Peter! *sandwiches are good but if you’re feeling a serious meal The carbonator, French connection are great!

My friend and I wanted to have a simple Canadiana meal. Time Square Diner is the place. This place took me back to my childhood when things were simple and not complex. The best thing for me is that the food is not fancy, but it is real Canadiana. The staff was wonderful and super friendly. It was heart-warming, and for the 3 hours that we were there, the world stood still for both of us. We loved it and we will go back for sure.

This has been a hang out for me for 14 years. It’s so convenient. I’m definitely a regular at this place. I love to come here and work on my laptop in peace or just have a yummy meal and head out. My favourites are the grilled fish, soups, omelettes and their poutine. Nice people. Family owned. LGBTQ friendly. Love this place

Good food, great service, huge portions. A great local diner for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The owner and main waitress (older lady) are very friendly and will make sure you have a great meal. All of the 1-star reviews are about having to show proof of vaccine 1-2 years ago. This is a diner, people want to know the reviews on the food/service. Lets not make it about politics, trying to keep guests/workers safe or because you disagree with science/Health Canada guidelines.

For a small local, family owned restaurant, they have really done themselves quite well. The aesthetics of this place is quite spot-on for American hip culture back in the 60s, giving it an exquisite atmosphere of an authentic American Diner. The menu's spot-on for what you'd expect: steak meal, burgers, and their own homemade fries. Staff is quite friendly and outgoing, and especially nice people once you come to know them each visit, which the overall experience is worth it. If you'd like to experience an American Diner, this is definitely one of those highly recommended places

Old style feel diner. walked in and smelled the goodness, saw huge onion rings on a plate. Staff were very friendly, food was great. large potions, good prices.

Every time I go in, I feel like I am home. Everything is handmade, down to the chicken fingers which were tender, juicy and crispy. The lasagna was the best I’ve ever had. The owner is a kind person, who genuinely wants his customers to love the food he created. You can taste the care in his creations. I absolutely recommend. Be patient with the serving staff; they are human and absolutely lovely, even if they aren’t as quick as the teenagers in the chain restaurants.

I have been patronizing the Times Square since 1972 when "Bill" owned the place. I continue to patronize the Times Square as the current owners, Peter and Sandra run a first rate restaurant. Breakfast, lunch, dinner or just a coffee and home-made pie with ice cream are always fresh and excellent. Peter sources some of the finest steaks that i would stack up against any over priced steak house in the city. His ribs are amazing and the daily soups awesome. Every one of the servers are wonderful to customers, polite and attentive and the coffee much better than anything offered by the coffee chains.

Always an enjoyable experience with quality food. Peter and his family are very welcoming and warm. A very cool 1950’s diner vibe, as well.

I’ve been coming here for the better part of a decade and I have to say that Peter (owner/chef) and the crew are absolutely the most generous and loving people. If you want the best home-cooked meal this is the place. A personal favourite of my friends and I are the juicy incredibly fresh and delicious burgers. They are like no other. If you want a beautiful meal on your birthday/ special occasion try the incredible steaks. Peter handpicks his meat cuts and make the food shine with his love and positivity. I’m truly grateful for Times Square diner and the quality they have maintained and the old-school diner vibes. Go, and Enjoy 😊

My friends and I went here for breakfast just the other day. The food was great. We all really enjoyed the bacon and pancakes! The coffee was hot and continuously refilled. Service was great. Atmosphere was nice. Overall, we really enjoyed and will definitely be back!

Best breakfast spot! Every time I have been there everything was wonderful from the service to the meal!

Very friendly staff. Food was good. We went for breakfast and I loved it. Sweet diner.

Great place in the northwest end of the city. Food and service was exceptional. Will be back soon

I've been coming to this diner for almost two years. It's relatively cheap and the food is very good, so it's the best option for breakfast in my area. Today, my partner and I decided to come for brunch. The food, as always, was great. Better yet, the servers were extremely kind and all-around lovely gentlemen. We finish our food, the servers clear our table; and instead of chatting, my partner and I decide to play a game of cards. Mind you, it's a Thursday and we're here just past lunchtime so the diner is quite empty. Less than two minutes after our food is cleared, we're pulling out the cards and shuffling the deck when suddenly this old white guy comes out of the kitchen to tell us to stop playing cards. Mind you, I work in the service industry - and I've had to kick out my fair share of customers for doing things against the store's policy, but I really can't see how two paying customers playing a game of cards when the restaurant is empty is a problem. We would have spent about the same amount of time idly chatting as we would have to play the game - worse yet: had we not been so suddenly uprooted, we probably would have spent even more money on drinks. It's a real shame because I truly do love this place: but I think I will have to find a new breakfast spot. It isn't about the interrupted card game as much as it is about the principle. If you're looking for a quick spot to eat, this is the place for you - god forbid however that you choose to read a book or play a little game after the meal. If an old white guy comes by and asks you to take it somewhere else, don't argue! Just pay your bill and leave.

Don't get deceived of its old look and pretty driveway, the food here is actually really really good. Large portion, great taste, and very reasonable price. They have the best grill chicken salad in town. The chicken is so juicy and tasty.

Fabulous taste, tremendous portions, very reasonably priced.

Have to say one of the best juiciest steaks I’ve ever had !!! and great service too .. Thanks Peter.. I’ll be back :)

Show up hungry! Special Spot for a break. Feels like you could be in another time. Lots of comfortable booths, great servers and of course the food is what you were looking for.

50's & 60's art deco style..clean.. plenty of seating ...friendly owners...decent food & good portions...if you like all day breakfast, they've got it. big parking lot...5 mins to 401 & Allen Expwy. I'll go there again. Barry Toronto

I have been working extreme long work hours and found this diner close to a place I was working at, wow what a breath of fresh air, the diner has such a nice relaxed atmosphere and has the perfect old school diner vibe, I grew up in the country and it felt like I was transported back to that nice enjoyable times, what a nice escape from the rat race. Food was delicious and the portions are big, prices are great. Will definitely be back and recommending to friends and family.

Service was good and quick! Breakfast portions were very generous and it was all good.

Huge portions! Food was yummy but not mind blowing. Decor and ambience was awesome. The service was some of the friendliest in the gta, the chef even came to our table to check in. Loved it and will be back.

Love this place. Great food, great atmosphere, friendly staff, and the absolute best pancakes anywhere in Ontario (or possibly the world!). Been here many, many times...and will keep going back. It's a family favourite for us!

Fantastic little place. I don’t think is possible to leave here hungry. I don’t get to the GTA often but if I’m ever back in this area I will definitely stop in again.

Turkey Club Those who know how hard it is to find a legitimate Turkey Club these days will understand why it is so amazing when you find a place that still uses hand carved turkey that was roasted in house. Peter builds the perfect sandwich that stays together, does not fall apart, and that has just the right amount of mayo. Perfection. The rest of the food follows suit as others have also reviewed. Classic Diner, one that you might recognize if you watched Titans.

One of my favorite breakfast places in the city. Great food and great service 👌🏽

Service is good, food is good, the people here are genuine, and the price is fair. It's missing one star just because they do leave a lot of dirty tables around. It's fairly consistent that this is the case when walking in. If this gets better in the future I would definitely change my star rating. This is a true classic diner.

Food tasted re-heated and bland. I know it's a diner, but the place was dirty and a bit run down. I was hoping the kitchen was at least well kept... But it was filthy.
