Few of these places exist anymore, a classic, actual greasy spoon restaurant, rather than some vaguely hipster recreation of one.

We go to Downsview restaurant pretty regularly and we take out fries and gravy. The fries are beefeater fries (chunky) and the gravy is delicious. A large order is about $4 or so. We top them with fresh cut onions, ketchup and black pepper. Very tasty and filling. Their toasted Western sandwich is good, too. Owners are friendly and accept phone orders, once they know you. Good wholesome food! Conveniently located right on Keele Street, just north of Wilson, on the east side. Worth a visit.

I'm not sure where the image displayed came from, but it does not represent Downsview Restaurant accurately. The owners, an older couple, are both charming, and the retro charm of the banquettes and jukeboxes at the tables provide a nostalgic ambiance. It feels like a trip down memory lane, and it's a great spot for an early breakfast as they open at 6am.

This restaurant is fantastic, with a straightforward menu. The employees were lovely, and the food was scrumptious. The dishes had a homemade feel and were clearly prepared with care. The restaurant has a strong base of loyal customers, which is impressive for a small establishment like this. We will definitely be coming back.
