Very unpleasant experience at this diner which my fiance was so excited to take me to today as it was my first and last time going. Our server Ellie maybe had an off day however was miserable and rude. My fiance asked if they had anymore creamers as his coffee was curdling from them and was told by Ellie "if you dont like it dont drink it.. Its all we have." In such a rude manner. As I see in other reviews and my fiancez omelette that clearly there was an issue with mine. She asked me how is the food bc i wasnt eating the omelette and i said its dry and looks burnt. She abruptly cut me off and told me its the spinach and thats how it comes out. I said id like 2 over easy eggs instead which she said i wont charge you for. Because i was paying for this burnt omelette that all i really would have preferred was a remake which wasnt happening. Alexa should be a server instead because she saved the visit for us big time. Very pleasant friendly young girl and she deserves zome recognition. Thanks girl .

I never usually leave a 1 star review but this place is exceptional! I ordered an omelet with mashroom and tomato but it tasted extremely bad and it was over cooked and burnt. I had to hammer my fork through their home fries potato and it felt like a rock and they never replaced it with a freshly cooked fries, even their toast bread tasted super burnt. I would say that the customer service needs some attention if you want to keep the business running... but as for me, it would be my last time visiting. Thank you for reading my review

Had a really good breakfast, huge portion and nicely presented. The pancakes were not as fluffy as I like and were dry. However the staff are super friendly and efficient.

Stopped in for breakfast at around 11. The sign on the door says they are short staffed so we went in knowing this before sitting. The staff is very friendly and the place is clean. Really neat atmosphere. Lots of items to choose from on the menu. Food was good. Will return

In town briefly to meet up with someone and they were running behind schedule. This little restaurant was a great find (despite one wee upset). We had 30 minutes to kill .... and I can always eat. This place was a little time warp, if you will. I was expecting The Fonz to show up or Al from the kitchen with his "yup, yup, yup ..". The jukebox at the front door was broken but that was fine because the music already playing was perfect as was the decor. I had read a review from the fall of 2022 that they had no veggies. I bring this up because I ordered avocado toast and I wish she had said "we are out of avocado, sorry" because the lunch I was served had rotten avocado on it. Now I understand avocado is hard to keep and it's ripe for a very short period of time, but if you're going to serve avocado toast you need to have that perfected. The black spots were very unattractive. Some slices were completely black and most were spotty. Only a couple small slices were in fact edible. When the chef (?) discovered the avocado had gone rotten, the waitress really ought to have been honest with me and suggested another meal choice. She saw me bee-bopping and singing in my chair, enjoying the posters on the wall, why would she serve me, quite literally, a rotting lunch? Attempts to hide the blackened avocado were done with a lovely balsamic vinegar glaze poured all over. I did leave the rotting pieces on the plate on display so they could see their mistake. Did she say anything when she gave us our bill? No. Should she have asked? Probably. But what's that old line, "don't ask questions you don't want the answer to" ... BUT!!! My husband came to my rescue! Because my husband will never turn down a Montreal Smoked Meat sandwich, I was in luck! I didn't go hungry. His sandwich was done right. Massive. As it should be for MSM!

This place was average at best and the service was good. Nothing special on the breakfast menu, so I tried the Peruvian Breakfast. The eggs were overdone and dry, the potatoes had no seasoning. They have a nice home made hot sauce, which I desperately needed because the food was rather bland. $5 for a side of bacon but the main is $11 ? Interesting math. The waitresses were really friendly, the food was just below average. It was surprising to see only a few people there on a Saturday morning.

Very cute diner… everything matches the theme. Food is good as well.

First time here. There is plenty of free parking outside, nice greeting, lovely 50s decor, super friendly staff, lots of options on the menu and good value. Only downside was we found the pancakes dry and left half of them otherwise it would be at least 4 stars. We'll come back

We loved our lunch! Great Service! We’re excited to come back next time for smoked meat sandwich, and the beef dip

Don’t go here. Just don’t. Not worth your hard-earned money. Today was my mom's birthday and she wanted diner food... this place just ruined the whole experience. - Awfully slow service (like ridiculously slow, when it wasn’t busy at all). - Refusing to substitute toast for something else (diabetics and people with insulin issues beware) - Lack of chocolate milk and white bread (for my family) Not to mention our server lacked knowledge about the food and restaurant policy - and didn’t care to check on our order. And as a bonus... the manager was cranky and quite rude. There are better diners out there, this place is not worth your money.

Really enjoyed our breakfast this time! Visited on a Sunday morning about 9:30am and it was quiet. Food took a bit of time to come, but it was very very good. Still wish they served poached eggs! Steamed is just not the same... Great home fries, very nice polish sausage, the youngen loved the waffle (said "best ever!") - good value for the money. Great service and the bus boys are SO on the ball! Good team of people, thank you!

Absolutely disgusting. I ordered a hot chicken sandwich with mashed potatoes. The potatoes were like soup and the gravy on the sandwich was almost black. I took a bite just to see if it was maybe looking weird and would taste great. Absolutely not. The gravy is definitely burnt. Chicken gravy should be a pale light brown. 🤮 Uber wouldn't refund my order. So I paid $31 for inedible food. Definitely avoid.

Wow, I've just tried Fifties Diner for the first time. Great experience right from the initial contact. I called in my order so a colleague could pick it up for me. The gentleman I spoke with on the phone was fantastic, and still had a laugh in his voice even though a chef had called in sick and they were very busy. He was able to accommodate my pickup time. Now, let me talk about the food. I had the fettuccine alfredo. It was amazing! So creamy and garlicky, definitely not a pre-packaged sauce. Real minced garlic. I highly recommend this place.

Went here for breakfast and I was so impressed! I’ve heard really great things about this place and it was all true. The food was amazing and the staff were super friendly. I will definitely be coming back!

Hubby and I went for breakfast Sunday. I ordered BLT he ordered Western Sandwich. Food was terrible!!! My BLT had one piece of bacon (maybe they couldn't spare any more) and then stacked high with way too much tomato including the end slice. Hubbies Western was a not much better as both sandwiches were on cold barely toasted bread. Home fries were flavorless deep fried potato. Very disappointed and won't be returning

Worst service I've ever recieved. The waitress was immediately rude and abraisive upon entering the diner. We we're seated after 5 minutes. She then came back to take our order. During this ordeal she grabbed the menu from our hands and hardly let us speak about how we wanted our meals. Another couple came in and she was racist to them to the point they got up and left while ordering. She then came back to us with an even worse attitude. (She told them speak english, when she has an extremely thick european accent herself). We decided to cancel our order pay for our drinks and leave. When trying to do so she muttered a racial slur at my partner and I, let us pay and left. The diner was also pretty dirty. I highly would not reccomend this establishment, if you want a stress free outing.

Took my family here tonight. I am a professional chef so I take that things might not live up to expectations usually. If I could give 0 stars I would. The whole meal angered me, like I was angry. Obviously the cook is a complete hack as anything and everything about this meal absolutely sucked. Forget about the fact it was a ghost town and it took forever, the food was not edible. Never going back, unless I crave dry overcooked cold food out of a dirty deep fryer!!

We had the Montreal smoked meat. Best smoked meat in Toronto sliced thin, fresh rye bread. Generous portions , fresh fries were soggy and Cole slaw was too vinegary I would go back to check out other menu items

We went there a few months ago and the place is super fun but the food was one of the worst breakfast food I had. It’s too bad because the place is different and not a chain, our potatoes were so hard we could not even break them on the table. We ended up leaving 3/4 of the food on the plate. I hope they can take this as a way to increase the quality of their food, they truly deserve to have something different.

They removed the sign so it's confusing as the sign now says Machu Picchu not "50's Diner". The breakfast portions are smaller, toast is not toasted, cheap on the home fries compared to last year when I ordered the breakfast. It appears to be new owners. However the female who gave me my take out was friendly.
