Such a welcoming little gem on the Southside. A little greasy spoon but all home cooked in house. If something runs out it's marked off the menu. Great experience with incredible staff

Literally the best pancakes we've had, across multiple countries and continents. Hands down. Friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere, clean venue, and as I said, literally the best pancakes!

How do I start?!? We got the classic burger with curly fries and onion rings. The burger was seasoned to perfection! The fries were perfectly cooked. The lady out front was super kind and created a delightful conversation. We went before close which made me feel terrible as the food industry is a hard place to work in. However they did such an amazing job. I read some of the reviews and let me tell you this place deserves more credit than it gets! And those toasted buns! Yes! Come here if you’re looking for a 50’s retro style restaurant, or just amazing food in general! It’s also hard to find a place that sells Pepsi as well! Well done an compliments and kudos to the staff and chef’s!

Very friendly service. The burger was juicy/tasty and fries were perfectly cooked, fresh cut and numerous. I look forward to trying other things on the menu. It's also nice to have a cold beer with the burger, they're meant for each other. Well done! 👍

Stopped by on the way through terrace to get breakfast/ lunch. The menu variety and price was great and there were options for everyone. The food was delicious and I left absolutely stuffed. Portion sizes were good as well. Generally everyone had a great meal here. Would return if passing through for breakfast.

We had the hangover poutine. Was really good and the portion size was huge. The staff was very friendly and we will definitely back. Most likely to try the eggs benny as them seem well reviewed. Will update on those as well.

September 18, 2021

On first glance it seemed like a nice place 🤷🏽‍♀️ We waited 40 minutes for breakfast all the while watching order after order of takeout being prepared and picked up. Three meals sat at the pick up window for 5 minutes while the last two were prepared so were barely warm. When the order came, one look and you could see the pancake had a hair embedded in it. We sent them back to the kitchen where a long discussion ensued. 3 minutes later the cook came out and asked “do you want the pancakes remade, because it’ll be a while” we asked how long. They said 5 to 8 minutes. Guess they figured we should accept the hair. The food appears good but honestly how do you know what’s in it or their cleanliness protocols when they ask “do you want it remade?” We all chewed small bites slowly to be vigilant. Try another restaurant instead. 3 regular breakfasts, 1 order of Pancakes, 1 eggs Benny. Total bill for 5 breakfasts $65.42, no discount for hair or wait 🤨

Only been once but it was a good experience. The server was great and so was the food. We tried going a second time but unfortunately it was a Monday and they are closed that day. We are out of town workers staying in a camp where the take-a-way lunch is the same mostly. We also dont have a microwave to heat up some of the other options. Will be back next time we are in town.

Came here for my first time and was seated at my own table. I was about to get my food and the waitress sat a complete stranger across from me at my table because there was no more seat left... It was the worst most awkward experience Ive ever had at a restaurant. I walked out and will never be back.

Friendly staff, cool decor, and awesome food! I recommend the Monte Cristo sandwich but try it with chicken instead of turkey. Its delicious! And when they ask if you want gravy, you better say yes because its some of the best gravy Ive ever tasted.

Waited forty five minutes for two simple breakfasts and one to go clubhouse for when we left. The clubhouse was the first thing done and ready to go before the two dine ins. 20 minutes after the clubhouse was finished we received our food. My sunny side up eggs were burnt, the bacon, sausage and hashbrown were piled on top of each other like pigs slop. The toast wasnt bad though. The second breakfast was a simple eggs Benny with a side of extra Hollandaise. She received the food without hollandaise on top of the eggs benedict. The side of Hollandaise was cold to the touch. A cook went for a break and the assistant cook complained to co workers unable to handle a half empty facility where only two tables were waiting. Face masks, gloves or face shilds are not part of the uniform there. The waitstaff were helpful and happy.

This is not a place I would recommend. Went in at 1:00- after lunch rush, ordered cheeseburger and fries. It took 1/2 to get our order. When it came, the hamburger was burned black and the fries were both burned and soggy. How does that happen? Both burned AND soggy. And how does the server deposit such poorly put together meal on a paying costumers table? Never going there again.

Went there a couple weeks ago and was thoroughly disappointed in this place. Had great rating on Google and thats why we decided to give it a shot. Ordered breakfast and had to ask the waitress where the rest of the food was cause the plate was tiny. The omelette was bland and had no flavour or taste to it at all. The French toast... I dont even think we could call it that honestly. The booth bench seats are so tiny that you cant actually fit in them and I am not a big dude. There was also a pretty cod draft through the building. All in all... super super dissapointing and would give it a 0 star rating if I could.
