Had such a great experience at Susie’s Rise & Dine! The food was absolutely delicious, the portions were generous, and everything came out looking as good as it tasted.

The menu has a great mix of classic comfort food and creative brunch dishes, making it the perfect spot for a weekend breakfast or a casual meal with friends. Everything we tried was flavourful and satisfying, and you can tell there’s a lot of care put into the food.

The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and the service was friendly throughout our visit. Definitely a spot I’d recommend if you’re looking for a great brunch in Toronto. Can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu!

We loved the service here, which is where it starts for me. Everyone was so nice. Of course we had to try the pancakes with the berry compote. It was very good, but what isn't that's fried in butter? Hubby went with the shrimp Alfredo with their spin of udon noddles and he said that it was very flavorful. My daughter and I split the black pepper and honey glazed steak fries. The fries was good but let talk about the steak! It was delicious!!! From the cut, to the seasoning, to the doneness! All of it was on point. Sorry no picture, I started eating before even thinking. My hubby had room for some dessert and enjoyed the banana pudding with it's biscoff cookies. Then as a side note but super important to me from a service point. My drink had a lychee on a toothpick and it fell on the table, which I was disappointed because I planned to eat it. My husband asked the gentleman there and he brought me more which I appreciated greatly, the service!

The interior was charming, but the AC was blasting and made it much too cold so we chose the back patio which was lovely.

We ordered the yuzu pancakes, the breakfast sandwich, a side of hashbrowns and a non alcoholic drink. The pancakes were nice and crispy. They had a buttery savoriness wich paired beautifully with the provided maple syrup. The hashbrowns were crispy on the outside, but warm and soft on the inside; also perfect. The breakfast sandwich was my favourite. The char siu glaze gives this unique sweetness that is absolutely delicious in the scallion milk bun. The drink was good, but probably not worth 9$. Service was good! Nothing to complain about.

All in all, a delicious breakfast with well executed items, but it is hard to expect less than perfection at those prices. 75$ for a breaky sandwich, 2 pancakes, a side of hasbrowns and an NA drink feels on the expensive side.

service was very good! extremely helpful and accommodating staff!! atmosphere was really giving a classic diner vibe however, the food was just ok. We got the general tso chicken but it tasted nothing close to general tso chicken at all... more like buffalo wings instead. I was so looking forward to trying the pancakes since I see it's really hyped up on social media, it's ok i would say McDonalds pancakes taste better though. We also got the tuna melt which had a really nice crunch to it. Unfortunately we found it too salty it would have been better if there's little bit of sweetness to it and more tanginess. We think by them adding the american cheese and chips inside made it more salty and didn't go well together. The steak done-ness was perfect but couldn't taste the "bone marrow butter at all".

Had a really great experience here! The atmosphere was awesome, the restaurant had a great vibe, and our server was friendly, attentive, and checked in on us throughout the meal.

Overall, the food was really good. The only downside was that a couple of dishes were a bit saltier than we personally prefer. The appetizer was unfortunately too salty for us, so we barely touched it. We were completely fine paying for it, but our server noticed and kindly took it off the bill, which was absolutely not necessary but very much appreciated. Great customer service!

The fish fillet sandwich was delicious, and while the udon was also on the saltier side, it was still really flavorful and enjoyable.

Dessert was the highlight for me. The banana pudding was really good, but the cookies were honestly to die for—crispy on the outside, soft in the middle, and so addicting. I haven’t stopped thinking about them!

Overall, I’d definitely come back and would recommend giving this place a try. Great food, great service, and a really welcoming atmosphere.

Like the rays of sunrise captured in flavour, this fluffy two-stack manages to be crisp and soft at the same time. The exterior develops a golden-brown crust with a light crunch and subtle toasty aroma. Beneath that, the interior is exceptionally airy and tender, melting away after a gentle chew. A faint buttermilk tang runs through the pancakes, adding an aromatic depth. Served with a burnt honey maple syrup for a complex, woody and floral sweetness, and opting for the berry compote wasn’t a mistake - pleasantly tart and sweet, made with blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries. A nostalgic nod to McDonald’s marine menu item, a shrimp patty battered in breadcrumbs lends a modest crisp, punctuated with a distinct sweet shrimp flavour and soft texture. Tartar sauce adds tang and creaminess with melted cheese, with lettuce and pickles to freshen up the soft sesame milk bun with a fluffy rise and golden exterior, reminiscent of Chinese bakery milk bread. The dry-aged beef patty lends a subtle funk and umami depth that gives this cheeseburger a bonus mark above the rest. Each bite is moist and profoundly beefy, while crisp white onions add sweetness without harshness, and American cheese contributes mild nuttiness and savory depth. Next, this is the sandwich I’d like to start my mornings with. Soft, jiggly omelette-style eggs provide a rich umami base that highlights the sausage, glazed in a sweet-savory, char siu-like sauce with pronounced caramelization. The sausage itself is subtly bouncy with a gentle sweetness, complemented by a crispy hash brown patty, cheese, and a scallion-infused milk bun. The sweet, superior, and standout dessert arrives with a luscious, silky pudding that remains light despite its indulgent richness. The banana and vanilla flavours intertwine with ultra-soft sponge, banana slices, pudding and cream - pure bliss on its own. Yet, it is further embellished with a cinnamon biscuit crumble that provides a gentle crunch and a hint of cocoa; I wouldn’t hesitate to order it again.

Susie’s is hard to get a reservation for, for a reason. Some of the best brunch I had. The pancakes are soft yet a little bit crispy with a buttery lemon taste - everything works and balances itself out perfectly.

The in house orange juice is also amazing not too tart and not too sweet.

The eggs, the toast and potatoes were also incredible. Such simple brunch items yet everything is crafted with perfection the flavours are subtle yet impactful.

Truly a really great brunch spot do check it out!

Susie's Rise & Dine was excellent! The pancakes are a must try, just don't expect traditional pancakes. The banana pudding was incredible, the chicken tenders were a hit (even with a picky eater), and the seafood noodles were surprisingly delicious and packed with crab flavor. The filet of shrimp was a bit blander than expected, but the onion rings were an experience on their own. The service was fantastic, though the atmosphere can get quite loud, making conversation a bit difficult. Definitely worth a visit!

Went here for the first time during taste of Italy and was so good had to come back a week later. Staff were super nice and explained the menu and what to recommend. Both times were for the dinner menu, the breakfast fried rice was the star I would come back just for that dish. No complaints and will def be coming back to try some of the other dishes. Highly recommend!

Great retro style diner, with elevated creative menu. There was a line outside waiting for them to open. Some people had reservations. As I’m sure everyone has said before, amazing pancakes. Moist with a crunchy yummy crust. Everything we tried was delicious. We even got an additional order of wings to go so we could have it for lunch on our flight home. Perfect amount of spicy. Delicious French pressed coffee. Can’t wait to go back!

My wife came across this location off social media which didn’t disappoint us one bit. Visiting all the way from Florida, we had an amazing experience. First off, the whole staff were extremely nice. Our waitress (Yonna) was very nice and professional. Even gave us some things to do while in town. The food was amazing! These are probably the best pancakes we have ever had. Also while enjoying food, they were playing all the R&B jams. Such an amazing vibe with good people and good food! Thank you Susie’s Rise & Dine.

Susie’s Diner was AMAZING. The food was so good, the pancakes were definitely my favourite and honestly worth going back for alone. The chicken tenders were also really good (just be warned they come out hot lol). The milkshake was fabulous too.

Our server was so sweet and even told us the story behind the restaurant, which made the whole experience feel really special and cute. The atmosphere is absolutely adorable and has such a cozy vibe.

I would 100% go back, especially for the pancakes and milkshake. Definitely make a reservation if you’re planning to go for breakfast or dinner because it gets busy!

A fun menu to try Asian inspired brunchy items. Prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity off food. Service was excellent. Our party of five ordered many shareables including sandwiches as well. Plan ahead as resos need to be secured more than two weeks in advance. Standouts were the mapo tofu on corn chips and pancakes served so fresh, hot, crispy and fluffy. Everything was good!
