EggSmart

Service is absolutely pathetic… you really see the staff outright ignoring customers and letting things break down leaving unfortunate patrons watching helplessly if they’ve already committed to the meal
From the time I entered it took 40 Mins to get my breakfast. Not going to this place again

Service was great; staff are friendly, attentive, and cheerful without being overbearing.
In terms of food:
Their breakfast stuff is where it’s at. The poached egg with salmon meal was great, and their mixed breakfast plates (i.e. eggs, meat, toast) are well priced and the portion sizes are very good.
The burger on the other hand was not good. A friend that ordered the caesar wrap didn’t enjoy that either. Seems like it’d be safest to stick to breakfasts and avoid the lunch options at this diner.
They also do fresh squeezed orange juice for $ 4 which is tasty but a little pricy.
A pretty solid breakfast place overall and even better if you get one of the dishes that they do really well.

I was skeptical at first after reading the reviews but was starving and decided to take a shot at it. And its good i did.
Place was busy. Got a table for 2 right away. Got our menus… ordered coffee and ordered within 5 minutes. Food came out in 5 minutes. I ordered the montreal smoked meat omelette and wife ordered a vegetarian. The lady was going around for coffee refills so had my mug refilled twice.
In spite of the avg and poor reviews, i found the food really great, decent service at a reasonable price.
I’m guessing the ones who liked it didn’t Unilocal

We (party of two) waited at the front door behind the «please wait to be seated» sign for 10 mins while there were 3 empty tables available (one was not cleared). When the waitress finally seated us we didn’t see or hear from her again for 10 minutes when she asked if we’d like anything to drink. When she brought over our coffee and water I told her we were ready to order but she didn’t return for another 10 mins. After waiting so long to place my order (20 mins), I had decided to go the safe and quick route, classic breakfast (bacon, eggs, home fries, and toast). And the food took another 15 – 20 mins to come. Huge disappointment. They’re clearly short staffed in the waiter/​waitress department, but I don’t understand why a simple bacon and eggs from a restaurant that specializes in breakfast foods takes soo long. Two other tables that were seated before us, still had not received their food when our breakfast came, by the time we were half way done, one of those tables got their omelette the other still waiting for pancakes which arrived when we got the bill (they waited half an hour for an omelette and strawberry and banana pancakes!).
The food was nothing special. The toast arrived with a heaping amount of butter already on it, the home fries had no taste (not even the taste of potato), bacon and eggs were standard (thank goodness).
Next time, we’re going to Wimpy’s, where we’re usually in and out of there in 30 – 35 mins with happy stomachs.

Tables were not cleaned after other customers left. People, including myself were left standing waiting for a table for over 5 minutes. Our presence was never acknowledged so we left. We can spend our money elsewhere… thank you very much!

This is probably going to be my shortest review because there really isn’t much to say about this place.
I’ve been coming here quite often this summer because I work near here and I have to say that service is quite slow. (But not Cora’s kind of slow)
A good feature of this place is their early bird special which includes 3 eggs of any style, bacon/​ham or sausage and home fries with fruits for 4.99 and tax before 10am. That has the most value for a cheap and filling meal!
As I am writing this review, I am eating a grilled cheese when it was supposed to be a loaded grilled cheese with ham…

For all of you who are new to Richmond Hill, this corner pretty much used to be farmland. Until recently, there used to be a diner which looked like it survived through the depression there. It’s kinda funny because it was a raggedly old place that was surrounded by a new plaza (guess the owners just didn’t want to give in to selling).
Nowadays, I guess the landowners got a pretty penny and an EggSmart opened up. Now, I’m a big fan of breakfast, I’ll have it any day of the week and at any time of the day.
I usually order poached eggs and ham or sausage (depending on how I feel at the moment). Their poached eggs weren’t that bad, they were quite average really; same goes for the ham. What I really didn’t like is the potatoes.
You know those potatoes that are cut up into little casino dice pieces and are fried after? Ya… I hate those. Note to all restaurants, Those potatoes suck. It’s like eating the bottom of the fry container… except your plate is full of them.
The coolest thing about the place in my opinion was their orange juice machine (which takes up a square meter of the front counter). It almost looks like a robotic version of a candy machine that’s sole purpose is to demolish oranges.
Any-​who, I probably won’t come back just cause I think there are better places to have breakfast. And… I really hate casino dice potatoes.
