Great for brunch
Neighbourhood gem
Charming

Dinner is available Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with Happy Hour and nightly specials!

Serving Brunch 7 days a week starting at 10AM on Weekdays and 9AM on Weekends.

We offer a fresh perspective on the classic neighbourhood eatery, throwing back to a simpler, more wholesome time when eating out was fun, approachable and most importantly, accessible. It brings patrons back to the mid-twentieth century – an era defined by a feel-good, optimistic mentality that influenced popular culture and food. Think Leave it to Beaver, Superbad, and Saved By The Bell came together in the most epic way possible.

The place was extremely unclean, disorganized, and the quality of the food and drinks was poor. I’m quite disappointed and surprised by how many positive reviews and high ratings it has on Google.
Old School - TorontoResponded on 15 October 2024
Hi Arina, we truly apologize that you had such a negative experience with us. We appreciate your feedback and hope to improve for the future. We would love to make it up to you and invite you and a friend for dinner for a second chance. Please let us know a time & date between Thursday to Saturday during our dinner hours that works for you. We hope to hear back!
