Food is good, it’s a classic spread, and it’s a great value. The coffee is really good (I had 5 cups) I also like that it’s not heavily salted so that I could season to taste. If you put your country fried steak in your grits, you can eat it faster.

This place is a bit hidden and comes off a little sketchy when pulling up to it but I consider this a bit of a hidden gem because the food here is delicious. I got the breakfast burrito and I've gotten the biscuits and gravy the one other time I came here two years ago. The staff is nice and the woman I think is maybe in her 30s (Sorry if I'm wrong) was absolutely great! She is attentive, friendly, professional but not overkill in the slightest. I will come back to this place if I'm in Ontario. ⚠️ ONLY CRITICISM: Please use better quality coffee ☕☕☕

Definitely wasn't the best breakfast I've ever had. I ordered the steak and eggs and wanted my steak medium rare. It came well done. Plus, there were egg shells in my eggs. Service was alright, but the food was lacking.

Small quaint diner with a Western theme. Casual dining. Friendly staff. I ordered the Kitchen Sink Omelet, which came with hash browns and a side of their famous biscuits & gravy. My omelet was good. Some of my hash browns were cooked really hard & I couldn't eat them. I was able to salvage a good portion of it. The gravy on the biscuits had a nice flavor, and the biscuit underneath was good. Breakfast and lunch are served all day and they have quite a few options at reasonable prices. New items on the menu include chicken & waffles and also fried catfish that can be served with grits. Service was fast, and the serving sizes are nice. I would recommend this spot.

Great breakfast & coffee, generous portions. The service was awesome, very nice & friendly. I tried the country fried steak with over medium eggs, hash brown well done. Well seasoned, good flavors, hearty gravy, spicy homemade salsa, delicious pancake & HUGE! Will definitely be back.

I often spent a weekend morning with my dad here. I grew up going here. Pancakes were impossible to finish at the time. Love this place with the bottom of my heart. I dont live nearby but you bet if I'm ever in the area I will stop here. Staff was always super nice and we'd joke with them. Food was always great. Again, I love this place. I hope it never changes

We love diners. When we rented our car at the airport, we asked staff where we can go for a good breakfast after a tiring flight. I am so glad he didn't even hesitate--"Zeke's." The food was terrific, the waiter was even better, and it was even reasonably priced. I only wish I didn't live 400 miles away....

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Zeke's Eatin' Place, and it was an experience worth sharing. From the moment I walked in, the cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made me feel right at home. The menu offers a diverse range of options, from classic breakfast staples to unique twists that cater to every palate. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the Eggs Benedict paired with a side of fried bologna. This unexpected combination brought together the richness of the eggs with the savory crunch of the bologna, creating a memorable taste sensation. We also tried the mushroom and Swiss omelet, and it was a delightful medley of flavors that showcased the chef's creativity. Beyond the delicious food, the service was impeccable. The staff's attention to detail and their willingness to accommodate special requests truly set Zeke's apart. Whether you're a local or just passing through, I highly recommend stopping by for a meal that's not just satisfying but also an adventure for your taste buds. Kudos to Zeke's for offering a dining experience that's both comforting and innovative. Enjoy your time at Zeke's, and don't miss out on the chance to indulge in their fantastic offerings!
