Good breakfast. Fairly inexpensive. 10 for 3 eggs and sausage. Wasn’t anything special but it still tasted good. Their home fries didn’t make me hate them so that’s a plus. I’m usually never fan, some are decent but I had my fair share I didn’t like So all in all good meal, not too costly.

On our first visit, my husband and I both ordered sandwiches. Each plate comes with two sandwiches, so you can share and try your partner’s choice as well. Mine was Bacon N Egg, and my husband went for Ham N Cheese. While I quite like my husband’s choice, I totally loved my Bacon N Egg sandwich. The other nice thing was that we got to choose between brown or white for the bread. My husband also ordered a soup as his side which I didn’t try, but he seemed happy with it. Our server was a nice and caring lady. The place had a kind of family feeling to it. Most of the other tables looked as if they were locals. This will definitely be one our first choices of breakfast places in the neighborhood. So, we’ll be back for sure! I also must mention that the prices are quite reasonable for the portion.

Being new to the city, I had a couple of friends mention this place a couple of days ago. The service was quick and extremely friendly. They weren’t too busy when I arrived so they let me sit anywhere I wanted to. I had the all day breakfast which was great. I will definitely be going again!

Good Bite definitely is what you would call an old school, diner type of restaurant. Comfy booths and your typical old but kind waitress working the tables. No frills/fuss comes to mind with extremely reasonable prices. My flight came into insanely early so we went to get a bite to eat. We were the only ones there on a Monday morning(7am) but the two working there were friendly and greeted us immediately. Apparently, this place is great for souvlakis but only breakfast menu(7 – 11:30am) was available at that time. We ordered: — 2 eggs with sausage($ 7.95) — ordered eggs over-easy which were done nicely. Dish also came with home fries(potatoes) and two pieces of bread(buttered). Surprisingly, everything was tasty and not overly greasy. Definitely hit the spot for both of us. — 3 eggs with sausage($ 8.95) — my buddy pretty much had the same with the extra egg. He devoured his dish before you could blink. Anyways, I’m not the biggest fan of breakfast joints but this one fit the bill. Fast service, friendly staff and cheaaaap dishes. They also had several different omeletes, pancakes and french toast on the menu if they typical eggs/bacon/ham/sausage doesn’t catch your eye.

When a restaurants is quiet on a Friday night, you’d have to think there’s something wrong with the food or the service… Good Bite looks like it’s seen better days. Having walked by and vaguely interested in breakfast for dinner, we were promptly seated and the waitress gave us water and menus right away. The green vinyl seats and the bleary eyed cook behind the grill instantly made me think of a old-time greasy spoon, the kind you’d see in a 50s movie. The music playing really helped to emphasize the nostalgic feel. I chose a western omelet with their home fries. I was kinda excited because the smell of grease was making me hungry, this was like a very homey version of Fran’s(I thought to myself). Then I took a sip of water and I wanted to get out of there(the glass of water was cold, but everything tasted soapy… I was thirsty and mortified). The food arrived quickly and thankfully did not taste of soap, just layered in grease, which was welcome. The omelet was slightly overcooked(on the dry side), but the«home fries» were decent… somewhat crispy outside and soft on the inside… it all could have used a bit of a kick, but otherwise I was mostly glad I wasn’t eating soap for dinner — not really my idea of cleansing the palate!

Love their sausages and fried potatoes. Great place for breakfast, but always a line up.

Have passed by this place numerous times over the years — it stands out from all the expensive restaurants and chic shops in the area. It’s a greasy spoon that serves your usual greasy spoon staples like breakfast and burgers. A pal and I were going to go for breakfast at another resto down the street, but they weren’t open yet(and wouldn’t be open for another thirty minutes). As a result, we decided to walk around and look for a place that we could go into right away. We were seated right away in a booth; it’s not too big and seating is probably limited to 40 people max. I had the corned beef omelette with whole wheat toast and tea. For $ 10, I was pretty impressed with the amount of food I got. As for the quality/taste, I would definitely say that it’s a-ok; it won’t be the last meal on earth for me, but it also wasn’t terrible. Service was pretty good; and the food came out quickly. Good for: cheap eat, breakfast, lunch

This place must have been around for a while. Everything inside needs to soon retire; the furniture, the tableware even the waitresses look exhausted. I noticed that they use the cheapest bread you can find in the market, the kind they sell at the dollar store. The food is greasy, the egg whites in my eggs were runny and my bacon turned into ashes when I poked it with my fork. Nothing about this place was attractive to me :(

This is a a regular breakfast hang out for me. I’ve taken pretty much all of my friends and family to this diner which is old fashioned in a wonderful way and as another reviewer mentioned, very unpretentious and down to earth. It serves the breakfast basics plus a lunch menu which I know nothing about as I only come for the breakfast special; sausages, eggs, toast, potatoes and coffee. Basic fare but very well done and it hits the spot. In addition to the food, another draw is the atmoshpere which is really old school with green covered boths, laid out iagainst the wall. The staff are attentive and friendly and add to the old-school atmosphere. Two thumbs up.

If I wrote mystery novels instead of Unilocal reviews, and I were the hereo; say, a disgruntled ex-lawyer or crusty private eye, I would use the Good Bite diner as a frequent scene for rendez-vous with dirty cops, damsels in distress, and maybe the odd suspect or two. It’s pretty much an archetypal diner: brutally lit, enrobed in green vinyl, with sour-faced servers who peddle decently burnt coffee and eggs fried just past the requested over easy. Service is quick, if not friendly; a laminated menu pressed into your hand nd a slighlty chipped mug slammed down in front of you before you spit out the ‘…fee” in «coffee». Come for the show more than the food; the ancient cook at front sweating over the flat-top, narrowly avoiding extra saline in the home fires(which aren’t bad, when they’re not underdone – stick with french fries). If you arrive before the place opens, you might even catch him bumming a smoke at the stove. Bacon is delightfully crisp; sausages pleasently plump; toast is industrial, but comes slathered in butter. The whole joint sets you back about 10 bucks. A club sandwich is good, solid food. A burger no better or worse than you’d get anywehre else in the city. But as a place to bring your favourite Kellerman, Patterson or Connelly mystery and enjoy a cup or five, it’s great.

Solid, greasy spoon Breakfast DINER. We all need A place like this. Unpretentious, attentive friendly wait staff and cook/owner. You will not find eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, but you are hungover and this is your cure! SOLID four stars

The Good Bite is a classic diner that looks like a snapshot of the mid 20th century that continues to satisfy. They stick to diner fare, and do it quite well. Now, I’m not much of a breakfast food person. For me, breakfast is either cold cereal, cold yogurt or cold leftovers. However, The Good Bite does diner lunch quite well. My personal favourite is the club sandwich. Coming in at only $ 9.95(3 decker sandwich plus a generous side of fries), it is a good deal too. It features real, cold, roasted turkey breast instead of deli-sliced turkey breast-ish roll. It also features crisp bacon and iceberg lettuce and thick, never mealy tomato slices. Mayo arrives on the side. The accompanying fries, although frozen, are freshly dropped to order and always come out crispy. The service is also excellent. As soon as you arrive, you take your seat, and almost before you land on the green bench or stool, you will have cutlery, a menu and a glass of water which you will rarely, if ever, see empty. The servers are extremely friendly and attentive. When you’re done, you simply go up to the register and pay. The Good Bite, ultimately is simple diner done right, and if you know what to expect(not Kobe beef, or infused anything) you’ll definitely enjoy it!

This is just a classic greasy spoon diner breakfast place. If you want fancy waffles or eggs benedict this is not the place. Here you will find simple greasy cheap and fast food Nothing special but not terrible either. Weak coffee.

I recently spent a weekend in Toronto and we visited Good Bite our first morning in Toronto. For this being in a larger city, I was expecting much more and found this place to be mediocre at best. It is a typical«mom & pop» dive diner. The place is fairly small and the booth we sat in was cramped for four grown adults. Good luck having a conversation as this place it is quite noisey. The food here is bland. I ordered a Greek omelet and it was nowhere near being Greek. The eggs were runny, had little feta cheese and the only vegetable was tomatoes. By comparison, other Greek omelets I have had at other eateries generally consist of eggs, feta, black olives, tomatoes, and spinach. The coffee I ordered came in very small cups, after two sips my cup was empty and the waitress only came back once or twice to refill it. The cost for the meal was also sort of pricey, besides my omelet, I had a side of bacon. So for the omelet that came with toast, bacon and coffee the meal came to just around $ 20. For that price, I could of stayed at my hotel and ordered room service or had dinner in the hotel café. I guess even though we Americans have our faults, I can at least say we can and know how to eat well !!!

I understand greasy diner food and completely embrace it. But this was disappointingly dismal. $ 9 for frozen sausages, lackluster scrambled eggs and mushy-not-tasty potatoes? Ehhh, pass. Nice folks and good service, but it shouldn’t have cost more than $ 5…and the food was just not good. Sorry

This is a pretty typical greasy breakfast place serving your standard breakfast options at a reasonable price. Our waitress was a lady in her 50’s who was pleasant enough, but busy and the service wasn’t too bad either. I slightly prefer Mars Uptown Diner to this place because I find the food a little less greasy and seating a little more comfortable(the benches here are rigid as can be) but overall they’re pretty similar experience at both. Funny story, we tipped the waitress just a little over 15% like good restaurant goers but as she picked up the bill two toonies fell out and intro her serving pouch without her even noticing. Before we could saying anything she hurried away to deal with another table. I’m sure she thought we had stiffed her. We debated talking to her about it but decided it would all be the same in the end for her and left feeling slightly bemused by the whole situation. If you’re in the mood for a greasy breakfast and this is what’s close by, it’s not a bad option.

*** Second Visit Update *** Took two friends back this morning(OK, OK, around noon). Barely beat the rush — they were jammed right after we got there. Even then, breakfast was fantastic, although coffee refills were a little harder to come by. Maybe bring your own really big cup.
