Tim Horton's
Great breakfast options, normal inexpensive prices. Some hotels don't offer breakfast, or the breakfast included is terrible, in which case Tim Horton's is a great option and won't break the bank. Also worth mentioning, the lines move quite quickly, so don't be discouraged by a lengthy line. Breakfast for 3 costs $12.50.
CopaCabana Brazilian Steak House
A Brazilian BBQ restaurant, where for $36 per person you get all-you-can-eat servings of grilled steak, pork, chicken, lamb, sausage, etc. Outdoor patio. Samba music and dancers on Friday and Saturday nights. Very busy, and there can be a long wait for tables.
T.G.I. Fridays
Prices at this location are quite high, though you can expect a convenient location and a full menu. Also expect no wait, as the dining area is tremendous.
Yukiguni
Carpaccio Restaurant
Lots of options including chicken, veal and steak entrees, grilled salmon, rack of lamb, ravioli, gnocchi, lasagna, wild mushroom risotto. Thin crust oven-baked pizzas. Soy spaghetti is available. Family friendly.
Wendy's
Normal Wendy's menu, however not normal Wendy's prices. There is no value menu, and expect everything you're used to ordering being about $2 extra. Also expect a 5-10 minute line. That said, there are great things about this Wendy's; Plenty of comfortable seating; Clean bathrooms; and most importantly a great view of Clifton Hill.
Suisha Gardens
Very pleasant Japanese restaurant. They cook, Teppanyaki-style, at your table. It's some tasty stuff and for what you get, the price is reasonable. The building looks old and run-down from the outside but when you enter, it's like walking into a small pocket of Japan. Sushi bar. Take-out available. Reservations recommended.

Basell's Restaurant & Tavern
A super-cheap restaurant that may look like "a little hole in the wall" but the food is delish. Try the special: soup du jour try the vegetable, coleslaw, potatoes or fries, tea or coffee, the special, AND frozen yogurt or ice cream for the end... all of that for only about 8 bucks.
