If you are here for their $2.95 breakfast than I wouldn't complain that much. The food is a bit greasy but that's what makes it taste good. The proportions are hearty and you'll feel full for the next 5 to 8 hours. The servers.. what can I say? They do their job and that's way more than what you should expect. You'll know what I mean if you've been to Chinese restaurants.

Been there twice. Very busy place...probably because you get a mountain of decent-tasting food for very cheap. 2.95$ all-day breakfast special gives you more food than the similar deals that other greasy spoons will give.The servers are friendly once they finally notice you... I have one complaint about their fruit cup..mine tasted fishy as if it were prepared on a contaminated cutting board or stored in a fridge with other smelly things abound. Ah well.

There was only 2 of us when we started going here... Now the 3 of us go and it's still the same place excet we have the do a little more maouvering around this packed out place!

You know what you're getting when you go here, good value for your hard earned $$ and an atmosphere/vibe that's cool :) So, who cares if you have to refill your own coffe and water?!?! :)

Only ONE complaint.... It's damn hard to find any parking close by.. I do feel sorry for the residents around that block :(

I'll first admit that Bon's is not for you if you expect a clean environment. Don't go looking at every nook and cranny cause you're going to find something.

Pros

Price - The $2.95 breakfast is really worth it but all the other food is cheap and most of it decent and tax is all included.

Portions - You won't leave hungry

Coffee - I don't drink coffee but more than a handful of people I know say the coffee is good.

Cons

Sanitation - It's not clean. The tables, seats, walls, napkin dispenser, ummmm everywhere and everything. In and around the winter it will smell usually like bleach and it's humid which makes it even more gross.

Service - It's freaking busy so service isn't so great. They will not serve you water even if you ask for it. It's like an unwritten rule that you get your own water. That's fine, but at least let people know instead of not bringing the water.

Busy - If you go on the weekends during morning and lunch you will have to wait close to half hour and another half hour for you food.

Drinks - Besides coffee their drinks suck. It's not real coke and it's not even good cola. The juices are equally as crappy.

Final Analysis

All the smell and dirt will never stop this place from being busy. $2.95 trumps everything else. The food is very good for the price. The only things that will stop me from going to this place is when it's busy and when I don't feel like being unhealthy.

Bon's has been in my neighbourhood for as long as I can remember. For the last 27 years at least. It's not until the past 7 years or so that people started getting excited about a "new" cheap breakfast hangout, and I went to go eat there for the first time recently.

Well, it looks like the interior hasn't changed in the three decades. Dim yellow light, and worn out mismatched furnature, but it's not too bad to deal with. A friend and I went on a Saturday morning at 9:00am. There was a small line of about four people ahead of us, and the place was pretty packed. We had to wait around 5 minutes for someone to acknowledge us for seating, and were pointed to our spot a little while later. The table top looked like it was freshly wiped with a damp towel, but it later turned out that it was grease smears because the streaks never dried away. Things are a little sticky to the touch.

I quickly thumbed through the menu to see what they had, since it was my first time, and they had burgers, seafood, and pasta, but at not so cheap prices. At least for a dive spot. I decided on the ubiquitous All-Day-Breakfast. Food took about 40 minutes to come. Not sure why griddle food takes so long, especially when everyone's getting the same 4 food items... Food was pretty decent, albeit a little on the greasy side. The toast is real low grade, like Sunbeam or McGavin's, and I found the eggs to be small. I don't eat much, but I didn't really get full off of the meal like I do after other breakfasts. Potatoes were good, but a number of them were on the charred side. Don't expect any service beyond having someone hand you a menu. I asked for a water with my meal, and it never came. Everyone there (including my friend who's been there a few times) refills their own coffee at the station.

Decent food, extremely cheap. Just be prepared for a wait.

I've been going to Bon's for the past 5 years. It never disappoints. The trick is to go early to beat the weekend hangover crowd, anytime before noon would be good. If you happen to go after noon, be prepared to wait anywhere from 30 mins to 1 hr.

The food is delicious and you can't make their breakfast special at home for the price they charge. $2.95 is worth it if you value not having your home smell like bacon grease for the rest of the day. This is a restaurant that charges a low price and makes its money via volume. The food is always fresh as the turnover is very high, none of the food ever sits for too long.

Bon's on Broadway is exactly the type of environment that defines a greasy spoon and as such, one cannot expect too much. Go in with an open mind and be prepared to be satisfied.

This place is family run and may seem a little run down but the value is definitely in the food. For 2.95, you get a breakfast that is enough to fill up a grown man and you can order it anytime of the day. The burgers aren't bad as well but this is one of those dives that has greasy everything. If you are in for a good hearty meal, this place is for you. The fish and chips aren't bad at all either.

I love coming here, I recommend this place to anyone who wants a big portion for cheap. I would say you should get the all day breakfast special, comes with hashbrowns, bacon or sausages, eggs & toast. This place can use a few touch ups here and there, but overall it's a great place if you want a cheap meal.

Bons is a great place to eat. One of the reasons to go there is because you get the feeling its dirty without it actually being dirty. The value for your dollar is through the roof and quality is pretty good as well. There are times service can be a bit poor but in general you will be satisfied with the level of service.

I only came here because we were in the area and my friend suggested this place.

Food was decent for the price you pay. Really greasy though. One person ordered the breakfast special for $3, another person ordered the daily sandwich and soup, and I ordered fish and chips. I don't recommend the fish and chips as the fish was soggy. However, it was a great deal for $7. I had 3 pieces, lots of fries and couldn't finish the meal. The bacon and tomatoe sandwich had loads of mayo. The vegetable soup was really salty.

Service was decent. It only took about 15 mins for our food to arrive.
Great value for the amount of food you get.

Ambiance is not my cup of tea. I got a good laugh at the very old Britney Spear's poster and other celebrities pasted all over the place. You can read the previous posts about the ambiance.

If I am in the area and wanted some cheap comfort food, I will consider going back then.
