Affordable and delicious diner with a large menu and great portions. Maybe a 4.5/5 in quality but 5/5 in quantity and value for money. Ordered the honey fried chicken but did not taste the honey at all. Guacamole was great. Home fries had a satisfying crust and a soft texture. Honestly my meal for $32.50 could have fed two people. Would go again. Service was a bit unorganized, but I went for Sunday brunch so it’s understandable.

It has been many, and I do mean many years since I dined here, so since I was in the neighborhood, I stopped in for a quick bite to eat. I don't remember much about this place from my last visit, other than that it served good food, but after my recent visit I could clearly see that it didn't change. I really liked the atmosphere and service of this restaurant. My server was friendly and attentive, and my food came out pretty quickly in spite of the place being super busy during the breakfast rush. They have a very inexpensive menu with great items, which includes alcoholic drinks. The restaurant itself looks small, but it is very spacious inside and kept very clean. I was pleased with my latest overdue visit, and I will definitely stop by again in the future the next time I am in the area.

Walked in and was greeted by a friendly old man who told us we could sit anywhere. My sister and I ordered the pancake deluxe and waffle deluxe and found both dishes extremely filling! The portions were quite generous and the pancake deluxe had 3 massive fluffy pancakes that were very buttery and soft! Each plate came with several pieces of meat — 2 bacon strips, 1 sausage, 1 ham tucked beneath everything. I found the bacon strips and sausage very salty and could’ve been toned down a bit. As for the waffle deluxe, I was hoping there would’ve been more fresh strawberries that could’ve been added to the massive waffle given that it’s almost a $3 add on. I wish there were options for additional sauces such as whipped cream. Loved the simplicity of this meal and definitely enjoyed this experience as a newcomer around this neighbourhood.

You definitely have a good time alone or with family. The staff are friendly, the owner is very nice. I ordered Home fries, and they didn't come a lot for me. I can eat, I asked and they gave me more. So I think they listen to you.

We popped in here for breakfast before the ferry. We were warmly welcomed by the waitress. The food and coffee were very tasty and the portions were large. The gentleman from the staff also asked if everything was OK and poured some coffee. We recommend.
