Best club sandwich ever

FYNCH

Be sure to look out for the spelling mistakes on the menu. They are hilarious. Good food for a good price though.

Bill Sobey

Good food. Nothing fancy but always delicious.

Ron Cosby

A gem In Fort Erie.. One of favorite places to eat and great food and value. Authentic Greek dishes also.

After waiting for 20 minutes to get an incorrect order and being told my order is ready then waiting more time to only get the wrong order again... Terrible absolutely terrible! New owners l, no thank you! Eggs over cooked, potatoes not cooked at all and bacon that looks like they took it from the fridge and put it in a to go container.... Never again

The North End Diner is a quiet little spot in Fort Erie's old downtown. From what I understand, they are under relatively new ownership as well. The diner has a casual feel where people can go and enjoy. Clearly this is a busy location where lots of people go. It was bustling when we arrived around 10am on a Saturday for brunch. We tried the chicken shawarma breakfast and the 2 egg breakfast with sausage. Both were pretty good. The chicken shawarma came with added toppings which was nice. Overall I chose to give this place 3 stars because they only accept cash (its 2021 - what is that?) and their ATM for getting cash was out of order. Its understandable for the tech issues but there isn't adequate signage about being cash-only nor were we told when we arrived. There is a tiny sign when on the corner of the door when you ever and it is rather ambiguous. The other reason I felt it wasn't a 5 star place was because the server just wasn't attentive enough. It was very frustrating to not get your check or not get another refill of coffee. Hoping that next time it will be better and I will update this then.

One of my worst restaurant going experiences ever, most of the food was bad, the service was poor and the experience as a whole was worst. (Food) I ordered the 6oz steak and 2 eggs, came with home fries and toast. My eggs were okay but a little mushy, my steak was delicious, though I did ask for well done but got a little blood in my steak. My home fries were gross, they tasted like the inside of a freezer and were under cooked (I never finished them), and my toast was perfectly toasted. (The experience) This was my first time at this establishment and I was meeting up with a friend to catch up. We walk in, the waitress shows us to our seats, I then ask where the washroom was. After I finished in the washroom I sat down with my friend and ordered our food. Shortly after we ordered our food an officer showed up to do an inspection because he has gotten reports. The officer comes in, talks with the waitress and a guy who im assuming is either the cook, the owner or both. The officer then came over and asked us if we were told to sign in, though my friend was a regular and knew to sign in after we were seated, I didn't know and was never asked so my answer was "No, I was never told to sign in." The man the officer was talking to earlier then blames my friend for not telling me to sign in by saying "See what happens when you don't tell your friend to sign in." Which bothered me since it's not my friends responsibility to do their jobs, it is the waitress job to not only seat us but to have us sign the paper. Shortly after the officer left. After about 20 minutes my friend and I were finished eating and ready to pay, we asked to pay separately, apparently this was a problem since the waitress wrote both of our orders on the same receipt and for some reason was unable to give us separate receipts. My friends food came to $13 and some change and my food came to $16 and some change. Due to the place only accepting cash My friend paid with a $20 bill and I asked if they had change for a $50 bill. The waitress seemed annoyed but then said "yeah in the register". The waitress then came back with $20 in bills and change for my friend, told her to then give me the amount it cost for my food and then i told me to pay with the $50. I was confused since this wasn't how every other restaurant handles payment, I also thought they wanted to give the $50 without them giving me the remainder. The waitress then told my friend to "explain it" the me, which was insulting, since I'm fairly good at math but was confused at why we were paying like this, since technically my friend paid for my meal and I paid for hers. The waitress then leads me over to the registered (which I thought was broken due to the way the money was being handled), the waitress then tells me that she will give me $20 and the $16 and change my friend gave me would equal my total. She then hands me $10 in $5 bills and says "here's your 10, have a good day" which is where I brought up that she still owes me $10. She then gave me the $10 and my friend and I left. This entire outing was a mess, I'm sort of convinced that they tried to rip us off and everyone was insulting and condescending. To top it all off i'm now home locked in my bathroom wondering if I'm getting sick from the stress, if I got a bit of food poisoning or a combination of the two.

The waitress we had was super nice. Waited an hour for eggs, toast and potatoes. People who came after us with a similar order got their food before us. Food was good though overpriced.

Leah Ro

This is a great place I love it!

Brigitte Beasley

Food was good, no complaints there. My complaint is with the bank machine they have in their establishment. They do not take visa or debit, only cash (really no sign in door as you enter that this is the case by the way). When I used the machine to take out $80, there was a technical error and the machine crashed, dispensing only $40, BUT my bank took out 80, so I am out $40. I am not too happy about that obviously, so my advice is to NOT USE THEIR BANK MACHINE if you do not have cash, and use the RBC or BMO down the road first to save yourself a lot of hassles. Like I said food was good, service was good.

R K

Hands down the best food in town.

Olive House

Waited 50 minutes for scrambled eggs and then got the wrong items, I got bacon which I can’t eat and didn’t ask for. We sat and watched other customers come in, eat and leave before us. Waitresses were nice but wait and quality are ridiculous for the price.

Lidia Odorico

Haven't been since new owners but could be great food

Elise Richard

Yummy food, nice waitress. I cant give the place 5 stars because we literally waited over 45 min for our food, and its cash only! No signage on the door, nor did the waitress let us know. Luckily we had some cash on us, but the ATM wasnt working ( I shouldn't have to pay a fee regardless). Hopefully they improve these issues.

Lisa Alby

I have ordered take out a few times, being I just work up the street. Every time I have ordered, it was a pleasant experience. Staff are wonderful and friendly and food was very good. Today I ordered breakfast for the first time and there was a little confusion with my order, and I only noticed after getting back to work. I called to ask about my breakfast and the lady working was very apologetic and wanted to make it right! I told her it was unnecessary and it was my fault how i ordered it. ( which it was) She went out of her way to call me back to try to make it right again!! :) I LOVE this!!! What a place. After owning my own restaurant years ago, I know how hard this industry is. I know how hard you work at what you do! But to go out of your way to please your customers.....speaks VOLUMES. Shows me you care about what you do. You will see me again :)

Ernie Biggins

Absolutely AMAZING new owners. Delicious food, kind service, and I've noticed they are sprucing the place up as well! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Rhonda Maracle-Gerritsen

So good! Huge portions, home cooked meals, we had the hat trick breakfast, huge, fluffy blueberry pancakes, chicken souvlakia breakfast, pea meal bacon breakfast, and a corn beef on rye with fries and homemade gravy. Excellent service and delicious food! We will definitely be back! Thank-you North End Diner! ????????????????❤️

John Roberts

Got the best eggs benedict here and will come again! Worth the wait, and free coffee refills which was excellent.

John Doe

The server was very friendly. My companion was a vegan and they did not have any vegan dishes, so the server helped her create something substituting meats and dairy for veg. The food was all excellent. I would highly recommend.

Eden Hojberg

Great food, friendly owners/staff, good prices. Just pull up and order food from takeout window. The menu is posted at the window. Food didn’t take long at all. We took it to sit by the river and enjoy! Cash only at the moment. Thank you! Big improvement from the last owners!

Zack Alapha

I could honestly say that I have been to many "Breakfast" places and this one is by far in my top three not only for the food but for the service that I just received today (June 5,2021)!!! I am so happy that this place is FINALLY under new managment/owners as the last guy did not care about his customers at all!!! Thank you again for the absolutely DELICIOUS breakfast see you next weekend!!!

Naz Raz

Best food I have had in along time. Services was great people were friendly and amazing. I had the club sandwich it was so delicious I actually ordered another one to go. I will definitely be back.

Jennifer Pellegrini

This was a good place to go for breakfast but recently got new owners. The food isn't quite as good as it was with the previous owners but is still a fine place to go for a quick bite

yannick giguere

Cheap, fast, good service and good taste!!!

Paul Peschell

Fast an friendly

Scott Lavandar

I went in morning was really hungry and ordered the western omelette. I was really impressed by the staff and fresh ingredients used.

Corinna Taylor

Always great food and service!

Marrika Wettlaufer

Ever since I have been going to this restaurant, with all the different owners and everything, the service has been great for the most part but I have to say, the most current owners are absolutely FANTASTIC. They have gone above and beyond for myself and my family. Being someone who has eaten at this place for years, I am absolutely amazed with how great these new owners have taken over. Kindness goes a long way, it even makes the food taste better than it already is.

sophia

Ketchup was rancid, coffee tasted burnt. Pancakes tasted like onion (the grill obviously wasn't cleaned). Got charged for water and overall the food was bland and expensive for whst it was. Disappointing because we used to come here all the time.

Selina Ogden

Great service and food .. been awhile and new owners. All day breakfast.

Don Dion

French fried paters hmm hmm

Kareem Tohfa

Took my family here as we were visiting some family in Fort Erie. A friend recommended we get breakfast here. MAN OH MAN was she right about this place! It's absolutely FANTASTIC! Great service and the food was absolutely delicious! I will definitely be making another drive back from Oakville for another Western Omelette breakfast!!! Highly recommended!

Robert Rogers

First time there, great food, coffee was never empty. May have to wait a while for your order but well worth the wait.

Tom Banks

Great place for breakfast. Friendly staff and good food.

Doug Ford
