“Best Diner in Town!”

We loved it here. Staying up the street at the Lord Elgin so it was nice and close.

 

We had the Rancheros and the waffle. Perfect! We’ll be going back again for breakfast. Reasonable prices and friendly staff. Lots of good seating. Coffee was good as well.

“Pancakes Delivered to Home!”

I just had Elgin Street Diner blueberry pancakes at home in my PJs without leaving my house! ESD is now available through Skip the Dishes. I never have to get dressed and leave my house again!!!

“My favourite spot for breakfast”

Always come back to this place! Its warm, great service and good comfort food. Brunch: love the breakfast! So much poutine and food included. Nom nom nom!
