This old school breakfast/lunch place has a nice 50s vibe. A free jukebox and great service. Phenomenal pancakes! Only regret was they only offer hamburger steaks, but unless you need a steak this should be your go too place.

The place was adorable, retro with a old jukebox even! Best breakfast in town, bar none! Pancakes like Mama used to make, best sausages in town & best service from all three waitresses that worked there today 19 OCT 2024 - voting day, went here right after, can't say enough about the place :)

A great, fun little diner that is a wonderful lunch spot it FSJ. There is a jukebox, tons of memorabilia on the walls, and a great menu that will please anyone, especially those who love diner food. Hours are a little short (open until 2pm and grill is off at 130pm) and it took longer than expected to get our food, but we were a table of 9 and it was getting close to closing time. I loved my food, as did everyone else in our party. Don''t let the looks deceive you, this is a great place to have breakfast or lunch.

★★★★

A nice diner. We went for breakfast. The prices are reasonable for the portion size. I got the meat lover's skillet. It was very salty and the hollandaise lacked flavour, but the potatoes were really nice and eggs done perfectly.

★★★★★

First time I entered I got so excited with the design inside the building which is pretty much vintage, just takes you back to the 70s. Food is delicious, great serving. My pancake is just a little burnt so they told me right away that they will give me another one and they did. 100% recommended.

Flashback! Swell cafe with a retro atmosphere and menu. The shakes are awesome - try the Pina Colada! Burgers are juicy and messy, yummy! The Monte Cristo had real turkey which impressed me, my only suggestion would be to ditch the processed cheese - then you’d be knocking out of the park with that one! Staff were friendly and engaging, with a great sense of humour. We’ll be back!

My wife and I stopped in for a quick breakfast from the recommendation of a co-worker. Id worked in a place like this before, so I was anticipating some good coffee and a quick meal. They did not disappoint. The service was just right, with the coffee flowing freely. The atmosphere is whargot to me, though, a period-specific, fun diner, complete with a working jukebox. Well definitely be back!

Love going here with co-workers or friends! Highly recommend this place for breakfast if you havent been yet. Fun 50s style restaurant and actually reasonable prices which is hard to find nowadays! The staff have a smile on their face and are quick to check if they can assist with anything. Make sure you stop by for breakfast if you are passing by! Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp located at the front of the building and staff are quick to re-arrange tables to accommodate.

This is the perfect spot for a super greasy hang over meal. If youre looking for health food, this is not the place; 95% of the Sunday brunch crowd was well over weight. That aside, if greasy breakfast and lunch is what you want, then welcome to the classic diner. Burger quality=frozen and probably deep fried, hashbrowns are deep fried and crispy. Eggs were cooked perfectly. The staff is friendly, and always had a full cup of coffee. I think the value was good vs money paid as well. Though this place is nothing jaw dropping, its a decent go to. Youll leave more full than Dennys for about the same price.

Been here a lot. Never have had a complaint until today. Sandwich was good! Fries not so much. Tasted like they have been left out for an hour then maybe popped back into the oil quickly again to warm up before serving. I ve had there fries before and these don t even compare to what I know they can be. It s a restaurant it happens somethings. What I m mainly disappointed about was when I called to notify them of said fries. They apologized and took my name and number but never offered to refund, never offered another meal, never offered a discount on meal, didn t even offer me a coffee for the trouble. I ve never had a bad meal there until today so I don t know how they usually handle complaints but I guess I was expecting at least a discount or a milkshake on the house or something.

Love the place. Ive been going there for many years. The soup is the best homemade style soup in town. As far as cafe style breakfast and lunch restaurants go, this place has it covered. Theres two atmospheres to the restaurant for those who prefer either a well lit or cozy feel when they eat. Unlike some local breakfast places, though its busy, theres lots of room. Some places are so tightly packed that youre almost eating side by side with the next table. The staff are friendly and have always taken the time to get to know people. In the 11 years Ive been coming regularly, the service has been great, and very quick.
