Breakfast, all day
Oktoberfest sausage & eggs
On the plate year-round, not just in October. This is Kitchener — nowhere else downtown puts it on a breakfast plate every day of the year.
The one everybody orders
The all-day breakfast special
Ordered more than everything else on the board put together, and still the cheapest full breakfast downtown.
What's on the plate
$9.99- Two eggs, cooked your way
- Buttered home fries — boiled, peeled and grilled here every morning
- Ham, bacon or sausage
- Toast
- Coffee, refills free
Served from the minute the door opens until the grill goes off at four.
What people come in for
Cooked from scratch, every plate
Nothing arrives here in a bag. Eggs cracked to order, potatoes sliced and fried in the pan, sausage on the griddle.
Made every morning
Home fries, from scratch
Boiled, hand-peeled, shaved and grilled in butter until the edges go crisp. It takes all morning. It's why nobody here orders hash browns.
Lunch, from 11
Schnitzel, souvlaki, the Philly
Fish and chips on a Friday and every other day. Plus a daily special that changes with the season.
Today's lunch special
Call to order
Pork schnitzel, potato and vegetable
Updated by the kitchen each morning. Call ahead and it'll be boxed and waiting.

Eight booths and a window on King West
Eight booths, a couple of four-tops and one long table. That's the whole room, and it's been enough for forty years. The windows look straight out at downtown — the ION, the buses, the people you already half-know.
You order at the counter, they call your name, and you carry the tray to a booth. That's why mornings move — a table usually opens inside a few minutes. No reservations to make and no list to get on.

What people keep coming back for
★★★★★Slices is really a slice of nostalgia. It's been around forever and really hasn't changed, which is a good thing. Very reasonable pricing and delicious old-school diner food and ambience.
Joel Desjardins · Local Guide
★★★★★Great amount of food for a great price — staff is incredibly kind. Food is actually cooked from scratch, and beautifully so, not just heated up from a bag like so many other breakfast places.

★★★★★I've been eating here for eight years now. Love the small diner atmosphere and family vibe. Food is generous portions and costs are low. Great seating selection and friendly owner.

Finding the door
Corner of King and Water, right in the middle of downtown. The ION runs past the front window — if you're on the line, you're already here.
