What Guests Are Saying
This diner is a real gem in parkdale. My family loved Harry's and continues to love its legacy and the beautiful staff that run The Originals. If you're fortunate enough to get a rush of nostalgia when walking through the door then you'll understand how special this place is to us. If not, then you please take my word for it and indulge in the atmosphere of warmth and kindness that fills this cherished diner.
Love this place for a basic breakfast. Great old school diner feel and strong community vibes. The staff are always super sweet and really care about their customers
Delightful find that is worthy of a visit. It is like a 70s diner with great food. I attended with a large group and everyone enjoyed their food and drinks. I had a mushroom and swiss cheese burger and it was fantastic. Burger was not greasy nor were the fries. Highly recommended this place.
