Peter’s On Eglinton

Family had a craving for smoked meat sandwiches. We were around Square One at the time so did a quick check online on best smoked meat sandwiches in Mississauga and found Peter’s just around the corner. Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon. Place was busy but not crowded. Décor was impressive and comfortable. Staff was warm and receptive. Menu was quite extensive. Had everything on it but was only interested in the Montréal smoked meat (this time). Sandwiches were massive. Meat was hot, tender, fresh and tasty. Platter came with cole slaw, french fries or potatoes and a pickle spear. Plates were large and overflowing. Everything was made to order so came nice and hot to the table along with Keanes mustard and malt vinegar. Perfect choice for a Saturday lunch in February. Next time (there will be a next time) perhaps the souvlaki???

I went to this place for the first time over 10years ago. I lived in Brampton and it was a place that was recommended. They served huge portions, service was very good! Food is tasty enough to be satisfied. A few months ago, i was in mississauga for a tournament and we ended up going to a recommended restaurant nearby, as it turned out, it was Peter’s on Eglinton! I had my doubts that it would be the same experience as 10 yrs ago, but it was !!!
Very enjoyable experience !! Big portions, good service! Quantity and Quality has not changed at all.
Highly recommended, must try. bring your appetite. The pork souvlaki dinner is as close as the «danforth» you can get.

GIGANTIC portions! Seriously. HUGE portions.
Delicious food. Terrific service. Our kids say that they feel like they are eating on the Titanic; the décor is quite something (tongue in cheek).
We’ve been a few times and will be back again and again.

The comments about the décor and servers are fairly accurate. The food is very tasty and the portions are enormous. We usually shares and this works out well. We typically get the corned beef sandwich and it’s always very tasty. Last time I got the Greek salad and it was very good. Prices are high but because we share, it works out to be reasonable.

Good place to come to eat when you have a good appetite or hungry. The food portion are big. I at the fish n chips, the fish was lightly battered. I ate there with the family. The rest of my family at the corn beef sandwiches. Get the regular size one unless you are super hungry.

Would recommend giving it a try.
Large portions and good flavour, a tad pricey ($ 30) for two having shared the large pork souvlaki (about two& a half 8oz size meat, rice, potato, tomato, and salad), took home some leftovers too! Bread and butter were served while we waited for the food which didn’t take too long.
The other dishes looked tasty too, (had a peak of the monstrous smoked meat sandwich and fish and chips on the table across from me)
I personally didn’t mind the out of date styling of the place, and the older waitresses which have a more friendly service than professional which also made for a cozy relaxed setting.

OMG! I freaking love this place. I can’t say the décor or ambiance is great but the food is amazing! ! Their Greek salad comes with an array of veggies and the most delicious dressing that I think of often when eating other salads lololol and I highly recommend the Chicken en Brochette — the chunks of chicken are perfectly flavored and cooked served on a bed of veggie rice, a greek salad and lemon potato. I can’t wait to go back. A bit pricey but the portions are huge. Try this meal and you will be in foodie heaven :)

OMG – huuuugggeee sandwiches!
Went here with my family (4 people) and my dad said that we could only order two sandwiches. After being a bit skeptical that 2 sandwiches would feed the family, the waitress brought out two gigantic corned beef sandwiches.
The sandwiches are what I have come to expect from high-​quality deli type restaurants and there was more than enough food to go around. The meat is so tender and flavorful and really hits the spot.
We also had a side of cole slaw that wasn’t my favorite cole slaw ever, but had a nice flavors to it if you like a more vinegary-​type of slaw.
Overall, the place itself is quite a site to behold, the service is first-​class, and the sandwiches are monstrous. This is a great place to split a sandwich whenever you have a craving for good corned beef.

half of me HATES THIS PLACE, the other half LOVES THIS PLACE. I’ve come 3 different times.
Everytime i’ve come its been 99% people over the age of 60… including that staff.seriously. And the greeters are awful. Tell you to come in, puts the menu on your table and walks away… like ok?
I went last night and i got the pork souvlaki. it was amazing! 26 dollars and its enough for 3 – 4 people BUT you have to add 5 dollars to share. which i think is BS. the food is amazing, i have no complaints about any of the food i’ve ever gotten, other than the price but honestly its justified because the portions are so big.
What bothers me is the service. I understand the wait staff is old but pretend you care? Last night there was a fly in my water so i asked for a new one and she just took it and walked away. said NOTHING back to me when she came back she put it down and left again. Not a sorry or anything, its like she was mad at me?
every time i’ve come i’ve waited FOREVER for my bill once we finished eating… yesterday we had been sitting for 10 minutes before someone came to take our plate and ask me if i wanted anything. I asked for the bill and it didnt come to us for another 10 minutes…
last, everything in there is so OLD. not only the staff but the cutlery/​plates /​tables /​decorations. You feel like your in your great grandparents house when eating here…
i rated it two stars but i would still recommend everyone try it out for atleast the food…
Souvlaki or Montréal smoked meat sandwich !!! you cant go wrong,
Goodluck (;

My fiancé and I have always been curious of this place as the parking lot is always packed come dinnertime. We stopped in one day to see what the fuss was all about and ordered the large pork souvlaki dinner since we were both starving. Perhaps a minor mistake; it was approximately the serving size of 2.5 meals for us. The portions are quite generous and the meal was quite delicious. The only qualms we have of the restaurant are the servers. They kept bumping into our chairs as we were close to the walkway and they did not apologize. It was quite an annoyance throughout the course of the meal.

Peters can be summed up in 3 words. Expensive, flavorful, HUGE.
A standard plate costs $ 25, the food is really tasty, and the portions are gigantic.
It’s the type of place you go to a couple times a year. Yeah it costs alot, but you don’t regret the money spent.
The only reason this doesn’t get a 5 star from me is due to the price. While not regrettable, I still wish I could dine here more often.

I passed this place a few times when going to /​from work, and it always seemed busy, so decided to check out out.
From the jump I knew something was «interesting» about this place. When we walked in there were two doors, one on the right and one on the left. No clear indication as to which to choose. We chose the one on the right, and when we got through we still didn’t get an indication that we chose correctly. No sign indicating that someone will seat us, or that we should seat ourselves. Someone met our puzzled looks with a «table for 2?». When we sat down, we immediately realized we were in 1989. The décor was that of an old cruise ship, with terribly clichéd atmosphere from what appeared to be a semi formal restaurant from the late 80/​early 90s. It was kind of charming at first, but got annoying later when we realized it wasn’t on purpose, but clearly an extremely out of date theme.
After soaking in the atmosphere, we realized that every waitress was at least 60 years old. As we’re all the patrons. Beside the little girl that came with her grandparents, my wife and I were the youngest people in the place. Nothing against older wait staff, but it fit the theme this place and review is heading. The menu seemed to have everything and nothing at the same time. Being billed as a deli I expected a concentrated reference to sandwiches and the like, instead the sandwich part of the menu was more like an insert that was an added bonus to the outdated rest of the menu.
I chose the «beef on a kaiser» (19.99) wanting a nice traditional deli sandwich, which came with an au jus dip, one of my favs. The wife got got the double (2 pieces) fish and chips (23.99). We were served bread and butter while we waited for our food. Fresh bread, but not warm. Wife’s ginger ale was flat and we asked for an iced tea to replace it. Side note: we were charged for both the ginger ale AND the iced tea but didn’t realize until we got home and looked at the ridiculous bill. More on that later.
The fish and chips came with a soup, which wasn’t mentioned on the menu, but we were intrigued. The waitresses were pushing the chicken noodle soup on everyone for some weird reason, but we thought it was an added bonus. She said «it comes with the soup. It’s really good eh!» It wasn’t. It tasted OK, but was clearly not house made, and had ground chicken in it which I thought was weird. It also was oddly extra yellow, which indicated a lot of powdered mix, and had bits of ground chicken fat floating in it.
We then got our mains and the portions were huge. My sandwich was a foot tall and we both got at least a cereal bowl portion of coleslaw, which I never eat.
Sandwich: Extremely dry meat. I had to dip in the au jus just to be able to chew it down. Rather tasteless as well. Kaiser bun was at least a day old, almost stale. Fries were standard fare. Fresh cut home made, but dry, leading me to believe they were frozen for a while. Au jus tasted good, but I didn’t think it was natural, seemed like it came from a powder.
Fish and chips: Fish was good quality, but not sure what type. Tasted good, although the batter was not crispy at all.
Overall, food was 2.5 out of 5. Then the bill came. And although we saw the price of the food when we ordered, it didn’t hit home until we got the bill. A little over $ 60 for something I could have made at home, and a lot better.
Will not be returning and cannot recommend this to anyone else. Not sure why /​how the others recommend the sandwiches here, but based on my experience, I could never compare this with any reputable deli ever. Want a good sandwich? Hit up The Corned Beef House, downtown Toronto. Avoid this place like the plague.

It’s more like a 3.5*. This is a decent & very busy restaurant. The portion sizes are GIANT but since the last time I was there the prices have taken a dramatic jump! Both wife & I had the small Pork Souvlaki. They were very tasty & come with a side salad w creamy garlic salad dressing. Comes w fresh buns as well. No complaints about the food but the service was a little slow, guess u can chalk that up to how busy the restaurant was. All-in-all…not bad.

Came here a couple days ago for a late (very late) christmas party for my work. As soon as we came here we got the vibe as a old school family restaurant kind of thing. Greeted right as we walked in, made u feel kinda cozy actually.
We had previously had reservations for about 15 ppl and actually only about 10 were able to show up. Not a problem, they sat us down right away. Our waitress was very nice and kind of persistant, always checking up on us. When it was time to order i noticed the prices are maybe a bit tad pricey ($ 19 – 35 for the entrees) but iv heard their portions are really big so you get your moneys worth. I ordered the regular pork souvlaki dinner which comes with alot of pork, seasoned rice, potatoes and greek salad, although i substituted mine for a caesar… no biggie. I loved my plate… it was a huge plate and the pork was well seasoned. My friend ordered the fettucine alfredo with ham… huge, tasty and very saucy, she gave me some of hers… cant complain. My other friend ordered the haddock and chips… the fish was moist and although it was fried it wasnt dry… i heard the coleslaw was awesome. We ended up taking our food home which meant breakfast for the next day… yay. I would so come here again… but maybe with my family for a nice sunday dinner. its not really a place where you can bring your friends. I“ll be back to try their sandwiches which i heard are really good.

I came here for brunch and was forewarned that the portions are very generous. Although I could have ordered their fish and chips (which is apparently what they’re known for), I opted for the Greek salad wanting something light. Unfortunately, the salad was drenched in dressing. It was more like I ordered a bowl of dressing with a bit of lettuce on the side. I couldn’t eat it.
Service on the other hand was great and the dining room was really cute. I liked the atmosphte. I would come back again but probably not order the Greek salad!

This is the definition of family eatery. I have been coming to this restaurant since I was 5yrs old. The owners are the same owners from when the restaurant first opened! If you want one of the best Montréal smoked meat sandwiches grab a table. The portions are so big, I dare you to finish them.
Greek owner Peter and his family are not just behind the scenes in the kitchen but are often found walking around asking customers how they’re enjoying their meals. Talk about customer service. Oh and did I mention the souvlaki? Unless you are Fred Flinstone don’t bother ordering a large! You really can’t go wrong with anything you order here. My favourite part surprisingly are the classic Greek potatoes :) but then again I’m more a potatoes kinda girl. Dessert is no different. If they have in stock their famous chocolate pecan pie, it is a must! With ice cream but of course. Don’t forget to asked them to warm it up for you.
The breakdown… If you’re looking for a friendly family atmosphere, great food and quality service. Look no further. It is one of the few Gems in Mississauga and has no intentions of going anywhere.
Enjoy!

Good food. Large portions. $ 60 for 3 adults to eat. All chose off the deli menu. Very busy. Fast service

Their food is great, large souvlaki chicken or pork chucks on a huge bed of rice, potatoes and salad. Their bass fish is bigger than the actual plate itself and can be lunch and dinner. Actually most of their fishes would be enough for 2 meals.
They are busy most days for lunch and dinner, so make sure you make a reservation! Although my first time there it didn’t make a difference as we still had to wait a half hour. The wait staff didn’t seem interested in letting us know we wouldn’t be getting our table anytime soon. After my sister in law asked the manager, we were checked in with 2 or 3 times while the table before us were paying and being cleaned.
That to me want enough to put me off because you can’t help how long the customers stay. The only reason I’m giving them 3 stars is because of their service. My mom’s potatoes had a tiny hair on it, looked like an eyelash. When I politely brought it to the servers attention she scoffed and rolled her eyes because claiming it was rosemary. She did this without even looking at it. I explain to her I know what rosemary looks like and I was 100% sure this was hair. She literally laughed at us before picking up the plate and saying is rosemary but she’ll exchange the dish for us. No apology, nothing. My sister was furious and when she came back I think she noticed the mood for my brothers birthday dinner had turned sour. So then she proceeded to make a joke that my mom should buy the lottery since she was lucky enough to get 1 stand of hair on her food. Then she started squeezing my sister’s shoulders.
I’m not sure what to make of this but the meal want really enjoyable after that. No manager or anyone else came by after that until we got our bill.
I went there 1 other time afterwards for lunch and the service was equally bad. It’s unfortunate because their food is really good, tzatziki is thick and seems fresh.
Prices are hefty but the portions are good. Hopefully other patrons don’t get the service we do and enjoy the pork souvlaki.

Really tasty food. I had only gone the once and was pretty pleased. The prices were okay, the portions were massive and the service was quick. I think it was a little funny how the water was refilled quickly but almost like it was a test to see how many things she could splash while she was there. It was kind of ridiculous.
The food was really nicely done, and everything looked great. I didn’t mind the décor at all.

Ok so after only 2 visits to this place I have officially cut this off my list of restaurants.
I am not going to comment or review the look of the place. At the end of the day I go to a restaurant for the quality of the food and NOT what the restaurant looks like.
First Visit: We ordered the Calamari to start the portion was insane. They were fried and tasty. A bit rubbery but non the less they were alright. I then had the smoked meat sandwich. It was tasty. The problem came after when I got home. I was up all night in the bathroom. My stomach was destroyed.
Second Visit: Again we orderd the Calamari. Same as above. I then ordered the Souvlaki on a bun. Again the portions were huge and the food was very tasty. The issue again started once I got home. I was even more sick then the first time up all night in the bathroom.
To sum it all up the food and the portions were good but at the end of the day ANY restaurant that keeps me up at night 2 times in a row is CUT OFF.
