Elm Street Cafe Grill

We were pleased to find out the Elm Street Cafe is open for dinner again in 2024!
Our food was excellent (new menu) and service was great - will definitely be back again

Updated Review! Returned today, food was delivered warm and tasted great. Service was also good. Much better than our first visit a couple years ago!

Absolutely delicious! A must try is breakfast is your favourite meal of the day. First time visiting the Elm Street Cafe Grill and we will definitely come back! I attended with a group of friends for Sunday morning breakfast after going to a wedding the night prior. We were all beyond satisfied with our entire experience. First impression- great location, lots of parking. Upon entering, the friendly fast seating and service. Without a wait, COFFEE was in my mug promptly. Coffee was a delicious brew (we actually asked where the beans were from). The best part, my cup was so graciously refilled before finishing. I LOVE that type of service, especially after a late night. The menu had so much to choose from. I decided to order the Spinach Bennie and a friend the Montreal Bennie and we split. WOW, WOW, WOW! Both made to order, had incredible flavour and freshness you can taste in every bite. I'm not one to usually finish my breakfast plates, but here, I couldn't resist. Everything was fantastic- be sure to have the potatoes (usually I try to swap out for the "healthier options") - so so worth it! To finish our wonderful experience and weekend, we cheered with mimosa- you guessed it - made to perfection.:)
I can't wait to visit again. We all left with such a positive feelings.

Just what I wanted quaint little place excellent food choices and it was delicious and service just as good I'll definitely be back and highly recommend this place!

Amazing little cozy restaurant! The food here is reasonable priced and came out amazing down to the last bite. The service is good as well, nice little breakfast spot. It also serves lunch and dinner only being during breakfast. Pancakes were very fluffy and the eggs benny was to die for. Home fries take the show here, they are amazing. Next time I’ll order a side of those bad boys! I’m glad I stopped by for a bite to eat! Will be coming back!

Great coffee, delicious food, the fries are some of my favorite around! Service is great as well definitely stop by you won’t be dissatisfied, I would be shocked if you were.

This restaurant is clean and has the capacity to serve large numbers. I have been here several times and the outcome is always the same. There is never enough staff to handle the customers. Today of all days “labour day Monday “ they have one waitress servicing over 70 customers. No manager in sight. No apologies for waiting over 15-30 minutes just to get your drink order and don’t even get me started on the over 1 hour food delay. The food is very well presented but the service leaves a bad taste. I had to beg my husband to stay as he was ready to leave after the first 1 hour without our food. This restaurant has the capability of doing better but they lack proper management and professionalism.

I will come back during the holiday months and see if there are any changes.

Have been here for breakfast a few times. The service is very slow but given the fact that the one waitress who is always run off her feet seating customers, taking orders, bringing food, cleaning tables, filling coffee cups, ringing up bills, taking customers bills and payments, it is understandable. This waitress should be paid for doing the work of three people. She is always pleasant and doesn’t seem bothered by it all. Bless her heart. Now today there eventually was a second person to help her but did very little from what I could see. You would think the manager/owner would help out but nope that doesn’t happen here. I ordered the pancakes and when I finally got my order there was a dead fly cooked in with my pancake! They took the order back but hello did you not see it sitting on the top of the pancake because it was the first thing I noticed when they set the plate down. They brought me a new order (supposedly) but there was one less pancake on the plate when they brought it back. By the time I got it my partner had finished his meal.but they had the nerve to charge for it. Will not be going back ever!

I had a wonderful encounter with this restaurant. This was my first time going here and it was amazing! The food was precisely what I was searching for, and the customer service was excellent. The food, the decorations and the service was great! For breakfast, I would definitely recommend the waffles, they were so delicious. They have many different options such as gluten free foods and halal options! I was quite happy with the assistance I got from this restaurant. They went above and above to aid in my search for the ideal piece. Definitely would come back!

We went for an early family dinner Saturday night at 5 pm with our Grandson. There were five of us. I was sad to see no other diners. This restaurant has just opened up for dinner service and deserves our support. The food and service was excellent. We ordered pasta from the kids menu for my 7 year old grandson, it was beautifully presented with fresh basil and tomato’s as a garnish accompanied by two slices of garlic bread. My husband, son and daughter in law all had the Elm Street Burger with fries, which they all enjoyed. I had the salmon, wrap it had all sorts of good stuff in it. Excellent. I had the house salad which was nice and fresh. Mains are reasonably priced. A great spot for family dining or a couple.

Consistency is always guaranteed here. We can always get friendly service here and the food is consistently good

Had breakfast here at 8 am on Sunday with our toddler. The server, a woman with blond hair, seated us and walked away not asking if we need a high chair or booster leaving us to find it and bring it over. We didn’t see her for 10 min to offer us drinks. She didn’t even take our order then. She didn’t even acknowledge our child and almost touched him with the hot coffee pot when leaving over him to refill our coffees. Service was very slow, it took over 30 min to get our orders when the restaurant wasn’t even that busy. The food was good but not worth $60 plus tip for breakfast for two adults and a toddler. We have been many times but this was our last time.

Tasty food.
Nice place.
Excellent hospitality.
Would highly recommend: ]

I went for breakfast with my family, and was absolutely delighted with my experience. I got the eggs Benedict, and it was absolutely delicious. The management was super kind too, and told me they’re actually extending to dinner hours soon, so I’m excited to check that out soon. If you’re ever driving from Niagara to Toronto or vice versa would recommend!

Me and my family came to dine here and we had a great time! We were greeted at the door and were sat down immediately. There is an indoor and outdoor area to sit that are both great options. We came here for lunch and were served within minutes. I ordered the Chicken Souvlaki. It was served with crispy potatoes that were seasoned perfectly. The chicken was flavorful and hot and was served with a wonderful tzatsiki sauce that paired great with the potatoes. Overall a great experience with my family!

This is the best place ever thank you for a great time. Also thanks 98.1 chifi (the radio station they play) for playing pat benatar as soon as I walked in. They knew a pat benatar fan was coming also thanks for playing alone by heart because that song makes my mom cry like a puppy

Returned after not being there for over a year, due to a bad experience. Was surprised to see new menus, higher prices, with less food offered. We always get eggs Grimsby, and it used to come with a fresh fruit bowl, now there's no fresh fruit bowl, but the prices went up significantly.

Our bill for a family of 4,2 kids 2 adults, was $67+ and nobody refilled our coffees. Won't return for that price.

Kids picked a random place to eat and decided here.
I had a green salad with chicken. It was good.
Kids had the tender with fries and a poutine.
Fries were really good.

We came to this restaurant with some friends like around 20. Server forced us to pay 20% tips and said because they considered us as a party. We were just travelers came to hiking near around, and we all separated bills. No any special party service was provided, and the restaurant was quite empty since that was not at rush hours.

Went for breakfast to this establishment with my family, usually go once a month…… ordered a Reuben for myself. We all know restaurants are not cheap anymore. When my rueben came to me, it was SATURATED in butter, hardly any sandwich meat, and a few “scrapes” of coleslaw on it, and the meat was extremely salty, (the sandwich was so tiny for the price you pay) …. Needless to say, I couldn’t eat it, I tried but with all that butter and extreme saltiness, it just wasn’t happening. The waitress explained that it wasn’t corn beef I was eating it was pastrami, she also said that if I want a refund I have to speak to the manager? (What kind of stupidity is this) I saw who the manager was and I figured I best shut my mouth pay my bill and never go here again…. Terrible experience and never going back

We really had a great time with our breakfast here. The staff was very helpful and courteous throughout. The dishes were freshly prepared and excellent tasting. I had waffles which were crisp from exterior with a soft interior served with freshly whipped cream and fresh fruit. Awesome!
