Love this place. Takes me back to a time when I was a kid. Greasy spoon diner and that's meant as a compliment. Love the crispy shredded potatoes. Not sure what I loved more....the food or the kind gentleman with a twinkle in his eye who cooked and served it to me. Definitely a hidden gem people should try.

Awesome little breakfast spot. Got the peameal bacon sandwich, with the homefries. The food came insanely fast, loved the sandwich. The owners were also super sweet.

Small neighborhood joint. Practically a 1 man show, but I love the vibes. Some think its greasy, but I think it's perfect. Most of it is self serve, however I do think that's part of its charm.

I cannot believe I just found out about this gem! The staff was very friendly and the food was at our table so fast I was honestly amazed! And the peameal sandwich was one of the best I have ever had! If you are looking for a good breakfast at a good price I would recommend you try Bud’s!

The chef is very kind and funny. Great service. Delicious food. Had a veggie omlet. Very generous portions. Self serve coffee and tea. Free newspaper. Nice music, classic hits. Will come again to try the goulash in the new year.

Lucky to have such a homey restaurant in our neighbourhood. We had goulash and peameal bacon breakfast. Everything we had was so good. Especially the goulash! They only serve breakfast on the weekend so try weekdays if you want to try dishes other than breakfast. The owner of the restaurant and staff are always so friendly and welcoming. Our go-to restaurant for breakfast!

Nice little family restaurant. The owners are very pleasant. Food was good with large portions. Clean establishment. Super fast service. Drinks are self serve. Prices are fair for the quality of food. They have a few fresh baked treat options which is nice as well. We will definitely be going back again.

Good size portion,food was ok,coffee was horrible. Outdated and looks filthy. Was definitely charged more than listed price with no receipt. For this reason I probably will never go back.

Amazing little breakfast spot, went here for the first time today to try something new and was not disappointed in the slightest. Extremely fast service and the Food was 10/10, very large portions, was even pleasantly surprised by the coffee. Had me feeling like i had stepped back in time to family breakfast when i was a child, the kind of place that does not need to impress with fancy decor because the food speaks for itself. I will definitely be returning and look forward to trying the schnitzel which i heard is a specialty of the cook/owner. The salt might not move but your heart surely will have.

Okay, so this is based on this mornings breakfast, havent tried anything else. I came here years ago but this is my first visit in many moons. When you walk into this place they are very welcoming and you feel at home already. Everything is very clean (didnt use washrooms) and service was quick ... well, the cooking and bringing to your table part (you order at the counter and serve your own coffee/tea). I ordered peameal breakfast. Coffee kinda weak, but I like strong coffee so may be just me. Breakfast came ridiculously quick but I will tell you, I have been reading a lot about crude oil prices lately and if OPEC cuts back, Buds can make up the difference. Lots of reviewers like that but be forewarned that you might want to wear sunglasses for the shine and equip them with splashguards. When time comes to pay the bill the price was a higher than I thought because apparently hash browns are extra (menu board not overly clear) and to use a credit card they wanted 2 bucks more (equal to 10% of my single diner bill) so clearly there is a bit of a profit margin in there as well. For less money, with full service, I can get a much better breakfast elsewhere. YMMV

For the type of restaurant, absolutely great. Deservedly well know for their peameal and over-easy with home fries breakfast combo but lots of variations and far more than breakfast. Soups and lunches are also very good, Central European style. Decor is low end and seating is partly benches but very high degree of cleanliness everywhere including restrooms. Recommended.

A lot of food for a great price and a free drink. The guy is really nice and give the place a great atmosphere. Id give them a 6 out of 5 if I could Just reading some of the negative reviews. I think some of might be high or mentally ill. The prices are quite fair. Even if they jumped a tiny bit, these people probably dont have the mental capacity to understand the concept of inflation. They may need to go over a quick overview of primary school educational curriculum. For those of you who left a negative review, if you see this. C is for carrot. B is for Banana.

Have really liked this local shop over the years for occasional meals. BUT!!! I have recently gotten 3 different meal orders. After leaving with my take out, I started wondering about the pricing. As an example, the breakfast that I ordered was expected around $12 and my bill ended just shy of $20. Now when I try to order I ask the price. The board says burger $7.99 BUT he told me $14 and change. When I asked about it he asked if I want it. I said yes only for the posted price. He said hes busy and needs to go, and hung up on me. I understand prices for everything are going up, please be up front and honest. I feel bad it has gotten negative and do not plan on returning there.

Apparently this place can get busy, but Friday morning at 8 was really chill for the first hour.

This is the hands down best breakfast in town. Just be aware it is kinda like going to a friends place to eat, pour your own coffee, tableware may not be all matching... but the food?.... hmmm good!

I was in for a rude surprise when they added a $3.50 service charge (on a $10.00 order) for using credit card! This is despite asking ahead of time if I could pay with tap because I only had my smartphone and no wallet. I would not return here again, even with a wallet, as this was such a shock. A $0.50 service charge would be reasonable, but 35% of the bill is outrageous! Otherwise, food was good and service was OK. I had to wait for about 5 minutes at the cash to pay in the first place, despite ringing the bell for service twice.
