A six o'clock dinner crowd at Troy's Diner can order Troy's Favourite off the same menu the breakfast regulars used at nine in the morning, and the kitchen treats the choice as routine rather than special accommodation. The all-day breakfast section is the restaurant's first and longest design move — egg plates, benedicts, omelettes, skillets, French toast, pancakes, and a peameal-bacon Canadian skillet, none of them quietly retired when the lunch board comes out. Home of the all-day breakfast is the line the diner runs about itself, and the menu underneath reads as the structural form of it: breakfast is the identity here, not the morning shift.
Troy's Favourite is the clearest first-order plate — eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, home fries, and Texas-style toast — and it functions as the menu's introduction to itself, big enough that one order tells the table what kind of diner it walked into. The Canadian Skillet is the same direction in a hotter format, with peameal bacon, vegetables, home fries, and hollandaise. Around them sit a long benedict list, the omelettes and French toast, and Avocado Toast as a meat-free breakfast route, so a brunch-minded table at two in the afternoon can build a real meal without settling for a sandwich because it arrived at the wrong hour.

What to order
Tiers reflect how diners actually talk about each dish — Diamond is the rarest. Tap a dish to cast your vote.
The strongest reason to choose Troy's is the all-day breakfast range: Troy's Favourite, benedicts, skillets, omelettes, French toast, pancakes, and avocado toast. It gives the diner a clear daytime identity even when the group arrives later.
02
Comfort Food Beyond Breakfast
Dinner and lunch do not feel like afterthoughts because the menu has Hand-Dipped Fish & Chips, The Beef Dip, burgers, poutine, hot sandwiches, spaghetti, chicken tenders, and mac and cheese. That range makes the restaurant useful for more than a brunch stop.
03
Thick Shakes and Family Range
The thick milkshake list, kids choices, vegetarian burger, shareables, and casual hours make Troy's easier for mixed groups. The Butter Tart Shake is the clearest sweet hook, while The Malibu Vegan Burger and Avocado Toast keep vegetarian diners in the main plan.

How to eat at Troy's Diner
1
Anchor Breakfast With Troy's Favourite
Start with Troy's Favourite when the group wants the all-day breakfast identity in one plate. Add Canadian Skillet when someone wants the same breakfast direction with peameal bacon, vegetables, home fries, and hollandaise in a hotter skillet format.
2
Use Hand-Dipped Fish & Chips for Dinner
When the visit is not about eggs or pancakes, make Hand-Dipped Fish & Chips the dinner anchor. It is the menu's clearest named signature outside breakfast, and it keeps the meal in familiar diner-comfort territory without needing a burger order to carry the group.
3
Split The Beef Dip With Poutine
For a savoury shared route, pair The Beef Dip with Troy's Poutine. The sandwich brings slow-roasted beef, Swiss cheese, mushrooms, onions, and au jus, while the poutine gives the group a fries-and-gravy side that feels more specific than a plain fry upgrade.
4
Save Room for The Butter Tart Shake
The thick shake list is part of the diner personality, so do not let dessert become an afterthought. The Butter Tart Shake is the most Ontario-coded choice on the shake board and works best after a breakfast or fish-and-chips order rather than alongside another heavy sweet plate.
5
Keep The Malibu Vegan Burger in the Group Plan
Mixed groups do not have to push vegetarian diners toward sides. The Malibu Vegan Burger keeps a plant-based diner in the same burger-and-fries format as the rest of the group, while Avocado Toast gives the breakfast side a second meat-free route.

The value case comes from portion style and range: breakfast plates, griddle items, burgers with fries, shareables, pasta, and fish and chips all sit in a casual diner format. It works for a substantial Main Street meal without turning the visit into a formal night out.
