Toast 125

Since opening its Uptown doors in 1999, this neighborhood spot has skipped the usual dining bells and whistles in favor of a straightforward, relaxed setup. Inside the retro diner space, which features a full bar, the focus remains on generous, affordable comfort food. Alongside daily specials, the kitchen serves up hand-prepared plates like house-cured salmon, burgers, and lunch combinations like a half chicken sandwich with Caesar salad. It is an unpretentious, friendly venue for an easy lunch break or a casual drink, where even a simple shrimp and avocado wrap comes with a side of fries and zero fuss.
