    Came in the afternoon for brunch. No tables. Sat at the bar. Our orders were taken. 30 minutes later we got a table. 45 minutes later our meals came. Who knew brunch could be such a SLOW endeavour? The food was good, but my hash browns were way undercooked in the middle. Please hire more cooks. And your clothing will probably stink like a diner after. Their kitchen has no ventilation. Nice staff though!

    Editing this review because I went back and the food was excellent. Service was fine but nothing impressive. Ask for the hash brown well done.

    Walking up from Queen Street with hoards of people waiting outside - Mad Dog Cafe was surprisingly idle for a Sunday morning.
    Check them out for some fresh Buttermilk Pancakes or an Opened Guac Sandwich with some hash full of character!

    A very nice quiet spot with very good food and friendly service.  Mad Dig breakfast and Meat Lovers Omelette were both pretty good.  Coffee was decent.  Lots of seating Fira weekday breakfast.

    This is a decent neighourhood spot, but the service can be slow.  Also, unfortunately it's cash only.
