Greek salad: My mouth waters just picturing one of their old school waitresses placing a colossal tower of amazingness in front of me (get the large). The dressing is a delicious vinaigrette and the feta just seems to taste better at United. Be prepared to wait in line, and don't count on a quiet meal here. It's a loud and bustling place.

Burger joint, Hamburger: I've recently joined the Golden Star cult, and for good reason - this place rules! The atmosphere is very familial and there's no messing around with the food...the burgers are enormous and juicy, and the toppings are very fresh - note: the fried onions are hidden from the rest of the veggies but ask for them, apparently they're a welcomed addition to your burger.

It's perfection burger-fied

Greasy brunch: This place is totally old-school...every table has a mini juke box! This family-run place has a great brunch menu (try the smoothies too), you can also see the cooks fry up the eggs and potatoes before your very eyes...an overall great diner experience!

Bagel World Coffee Shop

Bagel place: This place is traditional and reliable, two very important qualities in restaurant that specializes in bagels! But there's so much more to Bagel World than merely bagels - their spreads and platters are incredible, the eggs and onions are legendary, and the twister bagels are big enough to use as footballs. The Wilson location has recently been renovated but there's still an old-school charm to the place. The new Bloor (at Spadina) location seems to be attracting a younger clientele.

House Of Chan Steak N' Lobster

Steak: It's one of the best steaks in the city, hands down. The steak is tender and flavourful and seriously filling. But don't just fill up on the meat - the Asian-inspired side dishes are all part of the experience. Pair your steak with Chinese goodies like Lo Mein and stir-fried veggies. The potatoes are also spectacular. This midtown steakhouse is certainly worth a visit.
