Route 401 Diner - Toronto

Thank God for GPS. The location is strange, but maybe well placed for the weekday crowd when companies are open. The outside is overwhelming and feels like it could benefit from a certain attention. It's pretty small inside what's okay. When we arrived, there were two more groups. It was very quiet, except for the music as you expect and as it should be, the old things. What seems to be missing is a beautiful mood. While there are pictures and era related items on the display, I noticed that there are room for improvement, such as the Hodge podium of coffee cups and the glasses that serve them cold drinks instead of traditional look stuff. The serving staff was pleasant enough and did their job well enough, but something was missing. They began to clean up as if they were closing and actually they were. We didn't know they were closed after lunch and later reopened for dinner. Sweat with the floor and leave some of the staff and others with backpacks are certainly not feeling that we take much longer with our meal. Someone had an extensive conversation behind me about the summer staff and how they no longer needed anyone. The food was okay. I was disappointed that the pommes were frozen and my dining room partners crispy chicken sandwich had a wafer thinking chicken stable. I thought it was pretty expensive. If someone asked me if I was going back, I'd say no. I think the management must work to interact with the guests, just say a hello or smile, asking how the food is, etc. and working to be more hospitable and hospitable.

Perfect concept with authentic objects everywhere. Signs, extremely original, the only thing missing is a jukebox. But the 50's music is perfect playing during this colorful place! Great food too!

A small group of us went to dinner for breakfast. We would rate the service, the environment and the music 5/5. However, after visiting some restaurants for breakfast, I would suggest that the 401 improvement in egg dishes needs preparation... (e.g. omelet and scrambled eggs). Next time we are there, I will order sunny side up.

Good warm food made fresh and delicious. This sweet little diner has the fifty, sixties feel with a lot of nostalgic memory and great service. My husband had made all day breakfast as he liked it with a replacement and I had the 401 club with chicken bacon and tomatoes, with one side of Pommes. The service was quick and friendly and affordable.

Our daughter took me here for Father’s Day- past many other restaurants because I love the authentic diner experience. The home fries and pancakes are a treat, but the friendly service with coffee refills keeps me coming back every week. Milan the Owner takes great...pride in his diner and you won’t be disappointed.
