NOT IMPRESSED! AT ALL!!! The place is dirty, I am sure the kitchen is even dirtier! Poor service, the owners yell at everyone. Very poor atmospeher to dine in. Dont get why they are busy????? Must have to give away alot of free meals to keep their customers. Will NEVER go back.

We met with a group of 50 for a Saturday morning breakfast and we were all very pleased with the extensive menu and the quality of the food. Our table was served very quickly, our coffee cups were always being filled, and the wait staff were eager to meet our needs. Overall a positive experience. This is a busy spot... More

Usually take my eldery parents for breakfast when I visit. We like to arrive early for a table, as the restuarant fills up fast with everyone else wanting to eat. I have only been for breakfast, and find the selection abundant. The servers are always topping up coffee's, quick with orders being taken, and coming off the grill. The portions... More

Saint Dave's is unique and enjoyable. Note that they are only open for breakfast and lunch, closing at 2pm. The food is always just a little different, cooked nicely, simple presentation, great staff. The place is simple but clean and comfortable. It has a bit of a throwback feel - kind of like a 60's diner. Dave is usually around... More

I would highly recommend St Dave's Diner for breakfast or lunch. The staff is welcoming and friendly. The portion sizes are large, they have "very creative specials" to choose from daily, and the food is served piping hot. It is the best place in the City of Kawartha Lakes for breakfast and lunch!

Their breakfast can't be beat, unbelievable specials every weekend, their Rosti's are awesome. Never had a bad meal there and the service is second to none. Best place for breakfast or lunch by far. We are regulars. Very reasonable for what you get

Have tried the restaurant a couple times. First time, my husband and I had a very long wait and I had to send my bacon back to the kitchen to be cooked. It was just about impossible to get our coffees topped up, the waiter had to be reminded twice and we finally were assisted by a waitress. Made the... More

The serving staff seemed more interested in talking amongst themselves rather than helping my family. I heard all about this hashbrown caserole from a friend, but there was none left when I got there at 10am. For an item they're known for, they seem to run out of it fairly quickly.

So sorry if the service was not as attentive as it should be. We pride ourselves in having a good staff to customer ratio and providing the best service possible. As for the Hashbrown Casserole, it is only served on the weekends. Your review was written on Friday so there was no way that we had run out by 10... More

First off you never have to wait for a table and when you're there you're treated like family. Food is innovative at times when they guest spot a menu special. I had the crabs benedict one time, another time you're getting another special not just what is on the menu. I love the service out of this place vs the... More
