Red Onion

Great food, generous portions, fair prices and friendly staff — dine in or take out — a winner for the Caledon community…

So, I was excited to discover the inside looked a lot more appealing than the outside, and the food seemed like it would be good. When the food arrived, there was a few black hairs clearly from the chef who wasn’t wearing a hair net. That grossed me out. I would have ranked higher but now I sit here waiting for a new order as my college gets to eat his.

OMG Never again … the owner very rude ! Don’t believe all the positive reviews they are all fake !!!

If I could give this place a negative star I would. Let me start by saying dont believe the positive reviews its got to be friends of the owner. I came here despite the negative reviews about terrible service and less than average food but all the negative reviews are 100% accurate. I brought my family for lunch and I read they serve all day breakfast so we could all get what we wanted.
They sat us down quick enough and dropped off two menus breakfast and lunch which was odd enough for an all day greasy spoon. She took our drink order right away but it took 15 mins to bring 4 out of the 5 drinks we ordered. This is despite the woman who seemed to be the manager or owner walking right by us without so much as a smile or acknowledgment that we were there. FyI 2 coffees one water one coke and she forgot a club soda. No mixologist required but regardless 15 mins and one thirsty customer.
So I advise our waitress that we were in a bit of a hurry but I am always realistic so not like Im expecting my food in 10 mins. but 40 mins later yes 40 mins later. the same waitress comes to our table and says there is a problem. the kitchen and order person are not communicating and they only have one cook. so translation I your waitress forgot to tell the one cook which by the way this place has an open kitchen so you can actually see the cook… I could have placed my own order without raising my voice. BUT the kitchen had a communication problem. So bottom line shes «we cannot fullfill your order so if you guys leave we will give you a 40% discount your next visit» I was like really? You are kidding right? She was like «no Im not kidding… » I was beyond shocked I had to ask one more time «you guys seriously cant make two breakfasts one burger and an order of chicken wings…? With a straight face shes says Yup !
I got up and my family and I walked out to never return to this place again…
This is an honest sincere review.

Second visit here and still not impressed. I ordered Chicken Parmesean and it was over cooked. The slice of mozzarella cheese drapped over with very little tomato sauce. I choose to have it with Fettuccine Alfredo (pasta was standard)… but should be Spheggetti for tomato sauce. Since it was Fettuccine I picked the sauce that would compliment the pasta best. Bad mistake! The sauce was horrible and made the entrée from bad to worse.
My friend ordered their wrap and said it was alright. She upgraded her fries to sweet potato fries. Those were good and better when we asked for the Chipotle mayo dippping sauce.
First time was there, I ordered their Seafood pasta… I remembered it being alright.
The place is busy enough… I guess I am ordered their not so great items. I see that their burgers and all day breakfast are a hit.
Décor is nice and clean. Staff is ok… Had to remind the waitress a couple of times for things… but it was busy when we were there.

For a $ 4.99 breakfast special you really can’t go wrong. The service was pretty bad (my daughter has to ask for her water three times and we were given a butter bowl with used butter and leftover toast crumbs from someone else’s toast in it…) but the value for the buck was pretty good.

Pretty disappointed with my visit last Sunday. I come here all the time. Last Sunday I came in for dinner. Ordered a Greek salad it came out with a hair on the tomato. Polity sent it back. Then when my pasta came 7 minutes after the rest of my families good it was watery. Didn’t think much about it. Went home and laid down as I wasn’t feeling well. After 1 – 2 hour I came down with severe diarrhea and vomiting. I was so sick and didn’t eat anything else that day. I also ordered a milk shake to go. My other family members didn’t have any issues. Why was mine different? Because I sent my salad back? Was very disappointed. I don’t think I will go back. Too sick and sop much recovery time. Taking days off from work!!! Not happy !!!

Great place for a quick bite to eat.
I had the Triple Decker Chicken Club was so good with sweet potato fries.
Convenient location on King and Hwy.10.
Small restaurant but quality in the food for sure.

I am very upset with my experience here today. I have been here a couple of times with my boyfriend and decided to share the love with my two best friends. The service was slow as it was busy but the waitress, despite being a friendly girl didnt pay us much attention and had to be flagged down more then once. My friend also found a hair in her omelette. I ordered the red onion skillet which sounded awesome, back bacon, cheese, veggies and hollandaise sauce, sounds yummy but lacked luster. I don’t think i will be back, i am really upset with this experience.

Being very close to the flying club, I’ve come in here a few times to grab a quick bite with friends. They actually do a great job with lunch and breakfast food, have a new special every day but what I’m the biggest fan of here is the staff, they are amazingly friendly every time I’ve wandered in here even if it’s just to get a coffee on the go. The food is slightly on the «not so healthy side» since it’s a diner sort of place, but they do have a healthy section to the menu as well, so props for that! I’ve had their swiss burger and veggie wrap and both have been very satisfying!
The place doesn’t look like much from the outside being attached to a gas station and all that, but once you’re inside you will realise that it’s a very legit restaurant. Come here hungry too since they don’t go light on the portions!

Went here based upon Unilocal reviews [I’m starting to think that is a bad idea].
It’s right next to a gas station and the view is depressing: dirty parking lot, sketchy people, houses that look like they should be condemned.
Highlight: the waitress was very friendly and very efficient.
Food: Utterly pedestrian «diner fare». Burger was gray, rock hard and bland. Fish was frozen [one bit even had freezer burn… yum!] and 75% batter. Fries were undercooked and soon went limp and cold.
Price: Two mains, one appetizer and a coke was $ 45. No deal, by any standards.
Don’t waste your time pulling off Highway 10; just keep going.

Stopped in for a first time visit and was completely impressed.
Super friendly server, quick to greet us and take drink orders and explain the special of the day.
Was pleasantly surprised with the nice décor inside.
We ordered: 1 special which included:
*soup of the day, chicken barley which tasted homemade and was great.
*Baseball steak with shrimps that came grilled to a perfect rare and a gravy like sauce that I could have drank!
*mixed vegetables which were fresh not frozen and not over cooked with a slight crisp
*roasted potatoes which were probably the best roasted potatoes I’ve ever had in a restaurant. Golden brown and crispy on the outside and perfectly done on the inside.
1 grilled chicken dinner which came with the same as the special but my bf substituted veggies for extra potatoes.
*came with 2 perfectly cooked grilled chicken breasts.
Can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend this little gem!

Drove 30 minutes to eat here — closed. No explanation, chairs up, ghost town. Could have posted something somewhere. A «sorry» on a piece of paper stuck to the door would have made me feel better.
Won’t be back unless they offer gas money.

this joint looks unassuming from the outside, especially during blistery winter white out conditions. but once you step inside, you see the fireplace/​tv brick wall, modern lighting fixtures, and cheesecake from the cheesecake factory enticing you to have breakfast dessert.
breakfast is served all day and the options are a plenty. the RED ONION SPECIAL comes with 2 eggs, home fries, toast, refillable coffee, and your choice of bacon/​sausage/​ham and a slice of orange to garnish. our inner school girls couldn’t resist giggling at the girthy sausages. hehe. also laugh-​worthy: the price, once you realize it’s all just $ 4.99!!! what a steal.
the open concept kitchen surprisingly doesn’t leave you completely greasy smelling and the staff are super friendly. i’m sure they weren’t able to control the fact that fresh prince was on the air, but that added to my experience anyways.
