Fifties Diner - Oakville, Ontario

This gem of a place is somewhat hidden in between the big signs of other places but what an amazing place it is. Very relaxing atmosphere even though it’s on a busy intersection of Fourth line and Speers Road. Food is great. Not greasy like some other ... chains with good quality ingredients, you can tell that in every bite. Service is great as well. Fresh eggs (yes you can tell), thick bacon and perfect potato wedges everything was just awesome. Their pancakes hit different too, feels more home style than big chain bulk batter made. Read more

In town briefly to meet up with someone and they were running behind schedule. This little restaurant was a great find (despite one wee upset). We had 30 minutes to kill .... and I can always eat. This place was a little time warp, if you will. I ... was expecting The Fonz to show up or Al from the kitchen with his "yup, yup, yup ..". The jukebox at the front door was broken but that was fine because the music already playing was perfect as was the decor. I had read a review from the fall of 2022 that they had no veggies. I bring this up because I ordered avocado toast and I wish she had said "we are out of avocado, sorry" because the lunch I was served had rotten avocado on it. Now I understand avocado is hard to keep and it's ripe for a very short period of time, but if you're going to serve avocado toast you need to have that perfected. The black spots were very unattractive. Some slices were completely black and most were spotty. Only a couple small slices were in fact edible. When the chef (?) discovered the avocado had gone rotten, the waitress really ought to have been honest with me and suggested another meal choice. She saw me bee-bopping and singing in my chair, enjoying the posters on the wall, why would she serve me, quite literally, a rotting lunch? Attempts to hide the blackened avocado were done with a lovely balsamic vinegar glaze poured all over. I did leave the rotting pieces on the plate on display so they could see their mistake. Did she say anything when she gave us our bill? No. Should she have asked? Probably. But what's that old line, "don't ask questions you don't want the answer to" ... BUT!!! My husband came to my rescue! Because my husband will never turn down a Montreal Smoked Meat sandwich, I was in luck! I didn't go hungry. His sandwich was done right. Massive. As it should be for MSM! Read more

Stopped in for breakfast at around 11. The sign on the door says they are short staffed so we went in knowing this before sitting. The staff is very friendly and the place is clean. Really neat atmosphere. Lots of items to choose from on the menu. Food was good. Will ... return Read more

Very unpleasant experience at this diner which my fiance was so excited to take me to today as it was my first and last time going. Our server Ellie maybe had an off day however was miserable and rude. My fiance asked if they had anymore creamers as his coffee ... was curdling from them and was told by Ellie "if you dont like it dont drink it.. Its all we have." In such a rude manner. As I see in other reviews and my fiancez omelette that clearly there was an issue with mine. She asked me how is the food bc i wasnt eating the omelette and i said its dry and looks burnt. She abruptly cut me off and told me its the spinach and thats how it comes out. I said id like 2 over easy eggs instead which she said i wont charge you for. Because i was paying for this burnt omelette that all i really would have preferred was a remake which wasnt happening. Alexa should be a server instead because she saved the visit for us big time. Very pleasant friendly young girl and she deserves zome recognition. Thanks girl . Read more

Really enjoyed our breakfast this time! Visited on a Sunday morning about 9:30am and it was quiet. Food took a bit of time to come, but it was very very good. Still wish they served poached eggs! Steamed is just not the same... Great home fries, very nice polish sausage, ... the youngen loved the waffle (said "best ever!") - good value for the money. Great service and the bus boys are SO on the ball! Good team of people, thank you! Read more
