Could be better for the price, even though the price is pretty average for what you would get elsewhere. Quality of food could be better compared to other breakfast spots. However, I did get take out so maybe it’s different for dine in. Eggs were bland, asked for home fries well done but they were so soggy and no crisp to it at all.
Go here with my dad and siblings all the time, our favorite spot to grab lunch. Prices remain reasonable, food remains consistent. Owner is fabulous and his staff are great too. Normally get the soup of the day always great! And split a sandwich with my dad. Crazy huge portions for super great price.Food: 5/5
Bendale is a great little family run restaurant, good portions and friendly service. These guys know how to cook their eggs! They serve the best eggs benedict I’ve had in years - it’s off menu though so ask the server if they have it when you go.
Good food. Good prices. Good service. Rarely do I rate 5* for all 3. In this day and age where prices in the city are overrated along with the service and food, it's a relief. So happy to find this family resto. Had the Bendale spécial with french toast. Will be returning.
Our weekly brunch spot! My absolutely fave! Bering coming with my son for years and it’s something we look forward to every Sunday. Excellent food, great service, we highly recommend! Kid-friendliness: My son gets a custom breakfast every week. He loves it
Visited 7:30AM Jan 10th 2018. I was looking for a little greasy spoon restaurant with unlimited coffee and a good breakfast. Not too busy, service was pleasant and timely. The portions are generous and tasty. The decor is 50's diner style and fun. I will definitely be back.
Overall my experience eating here was not too bad. The food wasn't particularly over the top. I ordered the bendable special and the meat lovers special. Meat Lovers Special Some of the meat cuts peameal and Virginia ham I received were fairly cold but it did taste good. The home made fries were a little cold but pretty good nevertheless. The sausages were amazing and then eggs runny yolk was really good. I was dissapointed with the toast as the butter was just spreader on top and wasn't even melted. Bendable Special The scrambled egg was pretty good, was lacking some flavour but it seemed more chopped than scrambled imo. The bacon strips were dry and super stiff, but tasty, and the French toast was really good. Overall experience was not too bad. Did have to wait on the server quite a bit. And the water tasted weird . The environment was a little classic, not modern and I suppose it suits the food. The tv was stuck on one channel and wasn't working properly either. The environment was definitely lacking some light. They also charge for water Overall experience was not too bad.
The fun of frequenting independent family diners in Scarborough is seeking out and discovering the hidden signature dishes that define the uniqueness of each establishment that demonstrate culinary skills a cut above their competitors. Bendale Restaurant’s 'coup de finesse' is their Chicken Parmigiana. This dish features the best of Italian style pasta {Not Al Dente!}, well-simmered tangy sauce & well-aged parmesan cheese, half breast of chicken beaten flat and breaded with thin unique savory-tasting crust and topped with a generous portion of cheddar & mozzarella cheeses. There’s a mystery as to the identity of the mixture spices devoted to the delicate breading of the chicken. The most fortunate customers will refrain from gourmandize this gastronomic pleasure and instead endeavor to balance out the consumption of both the Italian Style Pasta and Chicken Parmigianna together until their serving dish is empty!
Excellent breakfast spot. Kind of a hole in the wall, but, if you like the old-school diner type of establishments, then this place is worth checking out.
Quick, delicious hot breakfast! Friendly service : Good portions! One of the few greasy spoons left in this part of Scarborough : Keep them open!!
