Classic old-school diner, similar to Celine Dion's
Nickel's, or
Denny's.
Like any other diner, the interior was comprised of red, white and black...and of course, to top it off, the classic juke box. Cute. There were a total of maybe 8 tables, all taken, but no line-ups. Menu selections included items like burgers, fries, fish 'n chips, milk shakes and some brunch stuff.
I wasn't feeling too hungry, so I only ordered their soup of the day (Parsnip Barley). Zofia was starving (she had completed 14 miles of running AND a yoga class) so she ordered milk shake and a burger. The soup came with 2 pieces of toast, covered in balsamic vinegar & olive oil; Quite fancy for a diner bread. Thumbs up. As expected, the portion was huge, and the taste was great diner-quality food.
Overall, great place for cheap and quick eats but not an ideal place to chill and lounge on a weekend. We were headed off to a movie screening so it didn't really matter for us. Would I recommend this place? Nah, I'd probably just go to White Spot or Denny's.

The burger and shake were delicious! Why would you go to a chain when you can go to an independent diner and have very tasty food?! ;)
ReplyDeleteThe food's delicious, and would definitely go again if I'm in the neighbourhood...but probably wouldn't make it there JUST for the burgers... :)
