Sneaky Dees

A friend of mine knows the owner of Sneaky Dee's in Toronto, Canada, so he talked me into going. Sneaky Dee's is a family run restaurant located about 1.5 miles/2.41 km West of the main downtown of Toronto.

It is like a diner, but the entire place is purposefully decorated by graffiti. If my friend had not been with me the first time I went to the restaurant, I would have turned around and ran out the door.
The first time we went to Sneaky Dee's, although supposedly open at 11 am, there was a note on the door, "Opens at 4 pm." So, we had to find another restaurant.
The second time we went, it was open, and my friend chatted to the owner; we had their breakfast special, but no artificial sweetener for coffee, no jam or peanut butter for toast, and the breakfast was at best mediocre.
The third time we went at about noon, Again, there was a note on the door, "Opens at 4 pm." so again, we went to another restaurant.
After the third time, I really had enough with this greasy spoon, but today, my friend begged me to give Sneaky Dee's another chance. He said that they advertised a lunch special menu 11 am to 4 pm with a number of great $8 sandwiches -- grilled cheese, BLT, Chicken Breast, Philly Steak, etc., all served with coleslaw and choice of potatoes. He was hoping for the Philly Steak sandwich.
Well, we go to the restaurant about 2:45 pm.

We were given menus, but there was no lunch special menu. He asked the server about the lunch special menu, especially about the Philly Steak and $8 lunch menu. She said it was not available and told us to look at the menu and she walked away.
He was really disappointed, but I suggested we try the bacon and eggs breakfast. When the server returned, we ordered the breakfast and coffee.

She brought us coffee, but no cream or sugar. After we got her attention, she brought us a total of two creamers and three packets of sugar. Again, no sweetener.
The breakfast was served. The fruit consisted of a quarter of an orange wedge and two blueberries.

My friend got a tablespoon full of potatoes and his sunny side up eggs were over done. My poached eggs were okay, but half my potatoes were as cold as refrigeration, and the other half was lukewarm.
We were given no jam. The server never smiled and seemed irritated when we asked her for anything. When we asked for jam, she brought us each one miniscule packet of jam.

She never offered us more coffee, so we had to catch her attention again. She brought us coffee and no cream or sugar. Again, she had to be called back and again appeared unhappy with us.
She never refilled our water glasses and never asked us if our food was satisfactory. We called her for the bill.

When she came, she threw the bill on the table and placed the POS terminal on the bill, so we could not see the bill. My friend told her he wanted to pay by cash. She took the money from his hand without saying a word.
She came back with the change and put it on the table without a word to either of us.

I convinced my friend to leave no tip.
He was upset by the whole experience and told me he was going to contact his friend the owner about what happened.
There are many family run restaurants and diners in Toronto that are far superior to Sneaky Dees
I told my friend that Sneaky Dee's was one of the worst restaurants in Toronto for service and food. I stated that I would never come back to this restaurant, and I would write a Trip Advisor Review that would recommend no one else eat at Sneaky Dee's either.
