Slices Family Restaurant - Kitchener, Ontario

I have seen Slices in my travels many many times in my 6 years of being in the region. I have always been interested because I love little hole-in-the-wall diners and eateries. Many people have told me it's been there for a long long time. I decided yesterday would be ... the day I finally ate at Slices. How does that place stay in business? I gave two stars for food. They did not have all the items on the menu and so I made a different selection. My husband ordered a basic breakfast and I ordered an assorted sub. The hash browns in the breakfast were so saturated in grease they were inedible. My sub was made with fried breakfast meats. My sub had soft bread, fresh lettuce and tomato but the mystery vinegar (tasted like malt?) threw me right off. I ate half. When my husband got his can of Coke he had to wash dirt off the mouth of the can. The menu is HUGE. I don't know if they actually stock all of that food but I'm not inclined to find out. I gave one star for service. The person working was abrupt and huffed when I didn't want to pay full price for the item i initially wanted. The meal was supposed to be chicken wings and fries with coleslaw, but they didn't have coleslaw. So I changed my mind and was met with a huff. There was no one behind me, and no other orders happening so I'm not sure why the response. Also, you order your food, and then sit down. You also have to pick up your own food at the window. I did tip, but I'm not sure for what? I gave three stars for atmosphere because this place hasn't been touched since 1992, I'm sure of it! Very outdated, very chaotic (needs organized), but I absolutely love the cheesey 90s diner feel. That's the draw for me. My one big complaint - no bathrooms. Probably could use a deep scrub too. At the end of the day I won't return to Slices. There are a lot of places that can match the positives and ultimately exceed Slices in every way. It's an interesting part of Kitcheners history, but I ask again, how is this place still open?? Read more

We can’t say enough GOOD things about this place! :) My wife and I stopped in for a quick bite while travelling through Kitchener. Food was quick fresh and very tasty. Prices were very reasonable and service was great! (Mom &Papa with their daughter) very sweet and friendly.

Came for a Saturday breakfast with my boyfriend. The place is really charming as it has classic dinner vibes, which makes you feel like you’ve gone a bit back in time and it’s really nice. We had the breakfast sandwich and the breakfast special, both had a good portion and very ... tasty. We’ll definitely be coming back to enjoy more food and the charming atmosphere! Read more

Just at the heart of DT Kitchener, the restaurant welcomes you with the warmth of a homely atmosphere. The wonderful folks prepared a lovely meal as requested. Definitely see myself walking in there again. P.S.: Street parking is available if you're lucky, if not then it's a bit of a walk ... from the nearest public parking. Read more

This is a nice family resto. We ordered French toast w sausage and the Gyro Breakfast. Coffee was ok and you get one free refill. My French toast was ok but nothing crazy. The Gyro Breakfast was good. The meat was tasty and the eggs were cooked the way we ... asked. The home fries were seasoned properly but we did not eat them as we like them differently, crunchy and baked or fried. Service was super fast and we sat outside on a small front patio. The inside needs some TLC but for a quick bite is fine. We do support local family business so, we will be coming back to try other items. Read more
