This was an unexpected stop for my wife and I. Happy to find it open on a Stat and welcomed by a wonderful waitress and awesome clean restaurant. The menu is perfect and has good theme and consistency. The food was awesome best beef dip I ever had, the yam fries were perfectly done too! My wife thoroughly enjoyed her meal as well.The cooks really did well to us, I will be coming back again for sure!

This place is just amazing. The menu us small BUT it taste amazing. I had the chiken and brie sandwich and my husband had the beef dip. He said it was the best he's ever had! Chicken was moist and bread was delicious. Price is very good for the good portions you get!

This unassuming gem in downtown Vernon caught our eye while in town on summer holidays. It was so nice inside, cute & quaint; loved the history on the walls! But the FOOD! Prepared with TLC, fabulous sized portions, decently priced & absolutely delicious (Caesar salad with smoked salmon & focaccia is pictured). The waitress was attentive and constantly busy cleaning when not tending to us and the other customers. 10/10 recommend! ❤️

Honestly, it's one of the best diners I have been to. My brother passed away, and I came here to eat. Little diner reminds me of home, and I didn't want to be in the hotel. I was super emotional, and Kylie was so understanding. She gave me a hug and listened to me. Honestly, the best. Thank you. Even gave me a free cup of coffee. Came here like three times, and I can't praise this place enough. Go try it. Good food, good prices. Needs more attention.

Had lunch today and was very impressed with the quality and flavour of our meals. We both had the hamburger soup with me having the special sandwich which had actual turkey meat in it NOT sliced lunch meat. My husband had the meatball sandwich. Both were excellent. The service was great too. Will definitely be back.

★★
December 23, 2020

Service alone was very slow, and not very friendly, however I will say there must have been a shift change and the younger lady we had finish our table was very friendly. Our food was mediocre, the steak was well over cooked, and the hashbrowns were considerably undercooked. We were not asked how the first few bites were which is service 101. I would find better places to stop for a bite.

Great Spot! The world could do with more owner operated places like this that offer tasty, home style cooking in abundant proportions. The fact that its located in a heritage building, with an assortment of vintage Vernon pictures on the wall, provides a touch of nostalgia as well. Theres a reason that this place fills up fast around mealtime; truly comfort food, at its finest!

Large portions with homemade hash browns, (or half and half option of sliced tomatoes), 2 eggs, 3 pieces of meat and 2 slices of toast. Also tried the burger for lunch and it was most satisfying.

Everytime customers came in the waitress said something that would almost get them to leave. When we got in the told us it would be a half hour till we got our food do hope you dont mind waiting. The next table was told they would be closing in 15 minutes. Puzzled they asked if they could still order and were told yes. My eggs were very runny as I ordered them hard. There are a lot of worse things that could have happened and even though this isnt a big deal just thought it was worth the mention.
