I had a wonderful breakfast experience today at Michael Kelly’s. It’s been a decade since I was last there. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome with their friendly demeanor. Our server was attentive and she ensured our orders were taken promptly, making the entire dining experience feel effortless. The service was quick, and the food came out at just the right time—hot and fresh.The table maintenance was spot-on, with the staff regularly checking in and clearing away any empty plates or cups without interrupting our meal. The ambiance was just as cozy and inviting as before, creating the perfect environment for a relaxed breakfast. Even the music playing was great.Overall, the experience was excellent, and I would definitely return for another meal. It’s clear that the new owners of Michael Kelly’s takes pride in both their food and service, and it truly shows in every aspect of the visit. Highly recommend!
Impressed with the friendliness of the owner Amin along with his staff. It's one reason I left Toronto to find a more inclusive familial feeling. I was a bit worried about getting a deep dish as I normally eat thin crust. He convinced me to try it. I was pleasantly surprised by the light texture and perfect crunch when taking each bite of my Pizza. Normally I am underwhelmed by the amount of toppings. Not tonight - there was an abundance of bacon pepperoni and pineapple. I was very happy. Cheese/sauce ratio also excellent. Butter Tarts are a must buy to take home for a sweet snack. Not too runny and perfect crust. I'm impressed and plan to try more on the menu now that we've moved to the neighborhood. If you are looking for fancy this is not the place. If you want a comfy home style feeling - come on down. You won't be disappointed.
The best service means a great atmosphere too. My chicken souvlaki was delicious! Highly recommended.
Fantastic is an understatement. Doesnt seem like much but well worth the visit.Went here for the first time and ordered the pizza. It was delicious. Staff were super friendly and attentive.The owner came by and made sure we were enjoying our visit. Will definitely be back to try the Chicken Parm or Souvlaki. Oh and the butter tarts are out of this world.
Great family run restaurant! Extensive menu with quality, hearty and delicious food. Had a great lunch experience here and will definitely go back. Don’t expect a fancy establishment, but it’s a lively little diner.
Ordered Turkey Dinners for take out for Thanksgiving. Was a little nervous, as I usually cook my own. The meal was ready on time and there was so much food. Everything was perfect. We could have fed 8 more people. Thank you Amin. I would definitely order from you again. Not to mention their regular menu is fantastic. Pizza is the best anywhere!
This place is absolutely fantastic! The farmboy pizza and chicken tenders were a hit with the whole family—our toddlers loved them. The pizza tasted fresh and homemade, and my husband couldn’t stop raving about the butter tarts. Great food, friendly service, and perfect for families. We’ll definitely be coming back!
