Wexford Restaurant

Rating: 2.0/5 (24 votes)

Posted by Staff / Reviewed on July 4, 2008

Wexford RestaurantThis classic (and rather large) diner has been in the neighbourhood longer than, well, the neighbourhood. Their sign says they've cracked more than 820 million eggs and squeezed 3.3 billion oranges since the place was founded way back in 1958. Best for breakfast or whenever you're up for indulging in some pancakes, omelettes or french toast.

I used to go to this restsursnt all the time, but this tine was the last. The food was nothing to speak about and it was very expensive. Bacon and eggs plus 1 scrambled egg with coffe and 1 oj was $21.00. In a strip mall this is unspeakable. It has been there a long time and the filthy condition was disgusting. Run away, runaway fast.

Excellent breakfast, fresh squeezed orange juice, free refills on coffee/tea, service is fast, very friendly, I always visit "The Wexford" when I want breakfast!
This place has character, no fake, plastic people here.

Breakfast is good but far too expensive as others have mentioned.

They've got some serious problems with their math as well:

820 million eggs equal 44,931 eggs per day for 50 years. At 3 eggs per customer (high estimate), that equals 14,977 customers per day!

3.3 billion oranges squeezed is even more ridiculous. That's a whopping 180,822 oranges per day! At 3 oranges per 6 oz glass of orange juice, that's 60,273 customers having a glass of orange juice per day!

Great food, great place. Been here over 20 times and always loved it. Peter at the cash is the funniest guy I've ever met. He look like an old 70s rocker. Can't go wrong with the Wexford.

5/5 for me. The fresh squeezed orange juice is the best iv'e ever tasted. Sure the bathrooms could use a better cleaning, but show me a diner that has pristine bathrooms. This place has been around for over 50 years for a reason.

Over priced for a basic, tasteless breakfast. The Valleyfield, about a Km west, is a hundred times better for a third the price.

Tony the owner of the Wexfoed is the cheapest son of a bitch you can ever meet. He's fat and ugly and is a poor excuse for a human that shares the earth with us ordanary people.
His prices are over the roof and his food is tastless and it seems that his relatives that work in the restaurant are only there to guard the cash register from the money that they ripped off from the customers.
Tony is definetly the worst citizen in Canada and should be deported back to Greece where he belongs

I love this place! Real fresh squeezed orange juice. Nothing microwaved here. Portions are large.
Peameal bacon and eggs, this is the standard in this city, since 1955! Atmosphere is like Cheers, everybody talks to everyone. I will always visit The Wexford. Imitators can not reproduce this classic.
Always leave feeling full and happy.
What else can I ask for in a breakfast place.

How about some lamb bacon for those who don't want to eat dirty pork?
