The place is really cute inside and gives you 50's diner feel but unfortunately everything else wasn't that great. The staff doesn't look happy to be there and the food wasn't that good. My food also had 2 short black hairs in it, and it looked like it was stuck on the plate from before they put the food on it. I just moved to Paris and I'm trying out all the local restaurants but unfortunately I won't be back here for food. Maybe I'll try the milkshakes since a few people said it was good.

I went to this place when I was 11 years old I'm 43 now I haven't been there since and I remember when I was 11 they had Cruise nights oldies music and awesome food I liked going there but I haven't been there since I have seen the reviews and there is alot of people that say not good things about this place I'm kind of iffy about going to eat there especially if the food is cold that's like going to Burger King and have cold burgers I don't like my food cold but I can't just go by what some people say I would have to check it out for myself so I hope when I go there on Wednesday my food will be Hot

Got the cheeseburger and it was great! The onion rings were a huge hit, the beer was ice-cold, and the service was too notch. My wife and our 4 kids will definitely be back!

Great food and reasonable price. Foot-Long Hot Dog, fresh onion rings, Pepsi and strawberry shake. Goodness hot and delicious, friendly service. Made while you wait, so not sitting around. Great job Johnny!!

We all ordered the banquet burger special with fries and a large beverage for $10. The burger was huge but the bacon could have been a little crispier and leaner. All in all, a great diner special. The diner staffers were all happy and helpful. One improvement would be more seating, as some had to go outside and stand or sit on the grass. If you don't mind lining up to order around that time, then it's very decent grub for a 10 spot. I had a chocolate shake and it was out of this world.

Has a really fun and retro diner vibe. Food is great and reasonably priced. I would suggest that they adjust their ice cream freezer for the hard ice cream though; It is mushy and not hard. Apart from that, I highly reccomend this place.

Sadly there are no more Cruise Nights at this facility as of 2022. Last ones were in 2019 I believe. Not enough staff I was told. No one wants to work anymore, just click their lives away. Sad and mindless.

So my son and I shared poutine and had a burger each. We both had massive stomach pain. Gravy was cold Stay clear. I saw them give out a small fry in a cup. Then a small fry double the size in a card board small fry. Brutal brutal

$14.65 for this small thing!! Pretty sad. It was good but the size for the money just doesnt add up.

My daughter and granddaughter and myself went to this restaurant after the Paris Fair ~ it was very clean and the staff was friendly. The food unfortunately did not reflect the cute atmosphere. I ordered fish & chips, the fish was pre frozen over cooked and so greasy I couldn t eat it. The fries were a black brown colour, the fish and chips were fried in old oil that needed changing. My daughter had a Caesar Salad with grilled chicken ~ they forgot to grill the chicken it was raw she couldn t eat it. My little granddaughter had a cheeseburger & fries, the cheeseburger was nice with fresh toppings the fries well they were black brown we told her not to eat them. $40 down the drain we threw it all out wished we ate at the fair and went to McDonalds. We will not go back.

Would never recommend this location and will never return. Sub-par food, lots of cross contamination, given a raw chicken burger, tall boy in the back probably has no experience whatsoever cooking or ever being in a kitchen.

This place was super awesome. From the cute, brace face attendant with superstar customer service to the old school diner food and milkshakes, its worth the drive out of town to avoid craptacular McDonalds food and service. Highly recommend.

December 21, 2020

Terrible food. Fish was way overcooked and burnt, salad was soggy, gyro was cold, not enough meat on it, wrapped poorly so that the paper fell apart, should have used tinfoil, the best part was the fries. We wont be eating there again! On a good note they do have pretty good shakes and the staff was very friendly.

Really good food with a nice and cute retro diner layout. Whenever I would drive by this place back when I lived in Paris, Id always crave for their cherry sodas (Made with ice cream, club soda or some kind of cola beverage and cherry flavouring). So far the only complaint I have about the place is the staff. They can get a bit impatient and touchy at times. But everything else is great. Good for a dinner if youd like to take your children, little siblings, friends, etc. for some mini putting, golfing and gokarting (In the summer time only, of course. In the winter, its still a good place to just eat there), which happens to be located around the restaurant area.
