Top Best American Restaurants in Ajax

"There’s something about the buttermilk fried chicken and waffle combo that just works well. Every dish on the Stockyards Smokehouse & Larder’s Sunday brunch menu incorporates the exceptional barbeque cuisine the restaurant is known for, whether it’s paired with smoked meat or housemade bacon or sausage. Priced from $10 to $20, Stockyards favourites include the Dirty Bird (a boneless fried chicken breast topped with bacon and cheddar, a sunny side-up egg and gravy, served sandwiched between a Belgian waffle) and the classic Stockyards breakfast sandwich (a deep-fried poached egg with bacon or country sage sausage and aged cheddar on a buttermilk biscuit)."

"You had a busy morning planned so you just ate a granola bar for breakfast - but now it’s five hours later and you’re starving. Head to The Stockyards, especially during the non-peak hours, since the small space usually makes it hard to get a seat. You’ll find a short menu of Southern classics like fried chicken and waffles, pimento cheese burgers, and brisket sandwiches, and if you come on a Tuesday, Friday, or Sunday, you can get their excellent ribs and smoked chicken."

"Always show up a little earlier, as this place is POPULAR!!!!. You may get caught in a lineup, but always 100% worth it."

"This friendly neighbourhood diner has all the essentials of a diner to meet your breakfast and brunch needs. What’s most important is their famous ice-cream sandwiches. These sandwiches are made with Greg’s or Kawartha’s Dairy ice cream, sat pretty between two halves of their famous doughnuts."

"Residents of the Riverside community have gotten deservedly smug about this 30-seat restaurant that serves ideal versions of all-day diner food. Massive sandwiches and billowy pancakes are grub done not just right, but exquisitely. Bread, pickles, pastrami, and donuts are all made entirely in-house."

"A charming interior with an eclectic menu would be one way of describing this relaxed diner. From baking their own bread and smoking their own bacon and salmon, White Lily Diner prides itself on serving quality, well-thought-through comfort food. Photo Courtesy: @DishedToronto"

"Located south of Danforth Avenue and spanning both sides of the Don Valley River, Riverdale Park offers recreational facilities, natural habitats and a skyline view that brings people flocking during sunsets. Covering an area just over 100 acres, Riverdale Park is split into an east and west section and is connected by the Riverside Park Bridge that crosses the Don Valley Parkway, Don River and the train tracks. Riverdale Park West has four baseball diamonds and the Riverdale Zoo, while Riverdale Park East has the majority of recreational facilities including a running track, outdoor public pool, baseball diamonds and bike trails."

"Riverdale captures that Central Park vibe in Toronto, with a metropolis skyline towering behind a calm green space. Those views come with the variety of activities going on in the park. “You go midwinter with a couple of hundred kids in their colourful snow jackets tobogganing down the hill,” says Papadimitriou."

"40-minute walk and 14-minute bike ride from Empire Quay House. If you’re looking for a spectacular view of the city skyline, look no further than Riverdale Park. This must-see 18-hectare space in the east end of the city has everything that a typical park includes, just with a very unique, scenic backdrop."

"This market is built with love and it welcomes community wellness businesses, with a calendar that’s always full of activities, especially for kids. There’s a wide selection of local produce and products to choose from. Be sure to stop at Paul’s stall - they sell superb tomatoes."

"Seven-thousand years ago, Indigenous groups settled around the Don River to catch wild salmon. A lot has changed since then (including Canada paying $145 million reparations to the Mississauga for stealing their land), but you can still see salmon jumping in the Don River while walking or biking along a nearly 10-kilometer trail beside the riverbanks. When you get to the Don River Valley Park, keep an eye out for temporary and permanent public art, including huge murals, gargoyles sculpted out of concrete blocks, and pop-up dance performances."

"A post shared by @joycemacfarlane on Jun 28, 2017 at 10:15am PDT. Brickworks is another great spot in the city where you can spend the whole day. The park and community space offers a ton of programming: from the locally grown produce available at the Saturday farmer’s market, to guided walks and hikes through the area."

"The Evergreen Brick Works, a reclaimed quarry in the lush Don Valley, is a showcase for sustainable and green living, as well as for urban design. A community has been established in thisonce-derelict industrial site and former landfill."

"The twisted wisdom of Yogi Berra’s great line: “nobody goes there anymore, it’s too crowded,” might apply to The Hot House. Reservations are not required but highly recommended if you plan to attend the famous Sunday buffet brunch. The hot table is loaded with plenty of meat, pasta and vegetarian options, plus the weekly chef’s surprise."

"Served every Sunday from 9:30 am, this brunch buffet will satisfy any appetite with an abundance of sweet and savoury selections. $24.95 buys access to carvery stations, omelette bars, salads, baked goods, desserts… the list goes on. Address: 35 Church Street, TorontoPhone: 416-366-7800"

"When it comes to all-you-can-eat brunch, jazz seems to be the music of choice to accompany it for most restaurants. Hot House is no exception with their jazz brunch running every Sunday from 9:30 a.m."

"Radical Road Brewing Co. opened up in 2019 in the up-and-coming hipster neighborhood of Leslieville on Toronto's east side. While they do whip up some interesting creations, like the cucumber-mint kolsch or the yuzu pale ale, the company focuses on brewing suspiciously easy-drinking crowd pleasers, and you won't find anything too outside the box here. Radical Road rents out the premises for private events, and also manages a portable version of their bar known as the Radical Roadster, a mobile, customizable craft beer bar for weddings, corporate parties and the like."

"Distance from downtown: 14 minutes Radical Road fits right in with the cute shops and cafes on Queen Street East with an antique fridge in the bottle shop and a cozy pub feel, complete with Connect 4 and Battleship. This nano-brewery focuses on small-batch brews and lighter drinking options in the outpouring of stouts, porters, and IPAs that’s flooded the Toronto craft beer scene in recent years. Go on the brewery tour of this small but mighty facility for just $15, or become brewmaster for the day for $75.Best Brew: Cucumber Mint Kolsch."

"Radical Road runs counter to the warehouse-like feel of most indie breweries: with its low ceilings and framed portraits, it’s like a cozy neighbourhood pub (in short, it’s very Leslieville). You might know its fruity, crisp yuzu brew from its wider LCBO release, but while you’re here, grab something seasonal like the malty Wild Loyalist bitter (a special Canada Day release)."

"– Mascot Brewery moved last year to an even better location, right in downtown Toronto. Soon patio lovers will be able to find this rooftop party on King St. What is it known for?"

"Distance from downtown: 17 minutes Looking for something complex and award-winning to prove your beer connoisseurship to out-of-town friends?.

"Burdock combines wine and beer to make beautiful, fruity hybrids. They source local Ontario fruit, and they age their beers using leftover grape skins!. Their space includes a brewery, restaurant, and a music hall, and they’ve even got a chic patio to enjoy your freshly-brewed beer."

"Burdock brings to the table various ales, lagers, and wine-beers. Some of its popular offerings include BBB, Burdock Pilsner, Rice Lager, Tuesday, and Vermont Blonde. New releases from its cellars are in the pipeline."
