Avenue Diner

For all the decades I've been in this neighbourhood yesterday was the first time I made it to the Avenue Diner. In the past whenever I walked by it was always packed with customers or I didn't have the time to stop for something to eat. Vintage diner decor with the walls covered in celebrity photos, many of whom I am unfamiliar with. Service is quick and friendly and just after 1 o'clock on a Thursday there was lots of seating available. The tuna club was great and I also ordered an order of fries. Sanpellegrino s.p.a. drinks available. This gem is scheduled to close at the end of 2024 and I hope to revisit it before it's demolished for new condo development at the corner of Avenue Rd and Davenport. $25-30 pp. Cash only, ATM on site. Limited pay parking on surrounding streets available. Closed Mondays. Weekdays 11-3, Weekends 9:30-3.

First time here, went for lunch. Food was good, service was good. Price for a single order of fries was a bit expensive at $6.95, but the portion of fries with the chicken strips was quite large. Liked all the signed photos.

Loved this place. Great food and friendly staff!

What a hidden gem! This diner has such a warm atmosphere, and you can definitely tell it's a local spot. The service was great, and the food was fantastic.

Unfortunately this seems like a place that used to be great but now serves very barebones level food for very inflated prices. For example a club sandwich was $18 and did not come with fries, which was an additional $7. Breakfast items were similar prices for very basic offerings.

Service was friendly and ambience was neat as a very old school diner with a lot of history, but we couldn't justify the prices for what you got food wise. Oh and it's cash only.

We went there on the recommendation of one of the locals in the area. The diner is super neat, vintage decor and has amazing vibes. It's obviously a family business with Mom running tables and Dad and Junior busting out food from the griddle.
We had French Toast and bacon and the 2 Egg Breakfast 🍳🥓
The Home fries were pillowy inside, crispy on the outside. No fancy nick nacks, just good honest straight forward deliciousness.
Fresh OJ and coffee and tea just rounded things out.
I'll be back like the terminator :)

Just overall disappointing, 50 dollars for bacon and eggs(2 eggs with minimal homefries) and pancakes. We decided to try this place out with our favorite breakfast joint currently closed for an emergency. We won't be back. The waitress and staff are nice and service was good. Just can't justify the inflated cost and diminutive portions.
