Emma’s Country Kitchen - Toronto, Ontario

I recently visited Emma’s Country Kitchen for brunch and found the experience to be a mix of positives and areas for improvement. The food was just above average—definitely not bad, but not exceptional either. The atmosphere was eclectic, giving the place a unique charm, though the decor felt a bit ... dated. Prices were on the higher side for a brunch spot, which I understand is due to their participation in the living wage program, a commendable effort on their part. The service was good; the staff were attentive but didn't go above and beyond. Given the popularity of the place, reservations are highly recommended on weekends to avoid long waits. While I would recommend Emma’s Country Kitchen, it wouldn’t be my top pick for brunch along St. Clair. It's a decent option, but there are other places that offer a more memorable dining experience.

We visited Emma's Country Kitchen for brunch. Without a reservation (first come, first serve), we ended up waiting 50 minutes for a table. While the service and staff were attentive and pleasant, the food didn't quite live up to expectations - it was okay, but nothing out of the ordinary ... or particularly memorable. Given the long wait, I'm not convinced the overall experience was worth the time. I would recommend considering a reservation or possibly looking elsewhere if you're after a truly special brunch experience. Read more

We went there Jan. 1st… The Good: everything we ordered was delicious, super friendly vibes from all staff. We waited probably a good 20 minutes? The homemade jam and lemon butter was to die for and just amazing on everything. We also order to go soups here and Daisy cake. ... Wonderful restaurant. The Bad: I pointed out to the waiter that the charges showing $600+ for a bill that was $73.22. He said “Oh it’s Christmas” we just laughed it off but that’s wasn’t funny, good thing I always check my bill. He didn’t even apologize as if he’s entitled for that amount. How can you make a mistake punching $600+ for $73.22. Really sketchy…. It’s not a reflection of the owner and the restaurant but you wonder how many times this Male Wait Staff actually got away with it. It really left a bad taste in our mouth… Read more

Emma's Country Kitchen has been one of our favourite brunch spots since its early days (back in its prior location). We haven't been in some time because it's a bit far for us, but the food is still just as good, it's still family-friendly, and the space is still bustling. The ... cinnamon bun pancakes were delicious, and their sausage and biscuits and bennies were just as I remembered. Service was friendly and we didn't have to wait long because it was a weekday.
