Stay away from the sausages!!! They're deep fried and loaded with oil.  I went home and almost died of pain from eating them.  They sat in my stomach like stones for 3 hours.  I almost went to the hospital.

I find the place very tough and go.  One day you go and it's great - nice fresh fruit salad and everything done right.  The next there's hardly any fruit salad on your plate and the home fries are triple cooked and greasy and salty.  They are simply not consistent enough to warrant me giving them another chance.  

And if they don't care enough to t take the time to broil up their sausages in advance instead of deep frying on demand, pleeze.]]>

I just moved to this east end neighbourhood and initially I wasn't too impressed with the available resto's and hang-outs in the area. Not much to goo and gah over! I've walked by Bus Terminal Diner many times but it always appears CLOSED!! I'm not much of a greasy spoon eater, as I do prefer quality over quantity, plus vegetarian fare is more my thing. Nevertheless, since this diner has history and cool retro furnishings, I'm willing to forgo my hesitation and give this place (and a plate of fries) a try.]]>

I just returned from my excursion to the diner and I must say, it must really be hit and miss because my breakfast was nowhere near as good as Tanja's exxperience.

I will say the service was prompt (for which I tipped properly), but the actual food left much to be desired. I ordered the Spicy Spanish Omelette (w/ "bus-taters", fruit & toast). The omelette itself was served, at best, slightly warm. The potatoes on the other hand, were were completely cold & hard.......the kind of hard that tells you they been sitting around for sometime. The toast was hot, a feat that can only be explained by surmising that it was toasted AFTER the eggs had been cooked completely.

The interior had a nice retro ambience but to be frank, I didn't make a special trip there to spend $11 for 25 mins. of ambience.

It's too bad really, I was fully prepared to embrace the diner and make future trips with others there.

Eating at the Bus Terminal Diner seems to be a throw of the dice as to what level of quality meal one will have.

3 at of 10 (at best)   ]]>

I've been going there for years - the waitstaff was cool, and the food was the best in town.  I stopped after the two guys that owned place sold it to some guys who really didn't seem to give a crap about the staff or the food, and it just got worse and worse.  The reviews here seem great - maybe someone got a clue.  I loved The Bus Terminal, and was sad to see it deteriorate so quickly, and I am now eager to go back and try it again.]]>

We've been going for a while.  They are superbusy on weekend mornings.  They seem to have recently acquired a new chef and the quality of food seems to have gone up since.]]>

Gloria/Tim/Frank - Decided to let this one go at the time (consider it my contribution to beloved diner survival), but wasn't about to leave it unmentioned in the review.  I suspect the menu company is more to blame by the looks of it. May be giving them a ring.]]>

Those hotcakes look friggin' AMAZING. I always thought that place looked sketchy, but the food looks fantastic and the interior looks pretty spic and span. Great review, Tanja; too bad about the theft. Are you sure you don't want to mention it to the restaurant? ]]>

I used to live down the street from them (my mother still does), and those hours on the ad doesn't sit right.

They claim there that they're open until 10:30 every night, but I'd have friends come over and we'd walk there in order to have their (admittedly) fantastic hamburgers, but they would be shutting up by 5 in the afternoon.  Maybe they've changed their hours, or maybe they just usually forget about them, but it's very frustrating.

Another tidbit: portions of the Fifty-Cent biopic from a few years ago were filmed there.  They got a new paintjob, and that's where the menu board apparently came from.]]>

So what happened with the photo? I'd say it's at least worth a year or more of free meals.]]>
