Times Square Diner

What is Times Square Diner? Times Square Diner is a vintage retro neighborhood diner on Wilson Heights Boulevard in North York's Clanton Park community. Family-owned and operated by Peter Roubos and his family since 1998 (with roots tracing back to 1947), the space features nostalgic vinyl booths, Formica counters, hockey memorabilia, and classic diner service that has made it a favorite filming backdrop for Toronto productions.

Times Square Diner Menu & What to Order Breakfast is served all day with top billing given to the Times Square Big Breakfast: three farm eggs cooked to order, crisp peameal bacon, golden homefries, and toasted rye. The house-made burgers are freshly griddled, thick, and juicy, served with crispy shoestring fries. Other traditional comfort hits include tender liver and onions smothered in gravy, classic Greek omelettes with feta and spinach, hot open-faced roast beef sandwiches, and thick hand-spun milkshakes.

Know Before You Go The diner is a short walk from Wilson subway station, with a dedicated parking lot out front. It fills quickly on weekend mornings with neighborhood regulars and families. Service is friendly, fast, and quintessential old-school Toronto.
