cute diner! friendly atmosphere and nice wait staffthe burger was juicy and awesome, the vegetables were washed but not dried so my bun was super soggy and water was dripping from my burger. other than that the taste was awesome.side poutine was huge but served fresh and the gravy was delishthe pulled pork special had a strong bbq sauce and was nice and saucy. the bun was soft as well. great special if they have it then i would recommend it!
One of the last places in the region to find a family run food joint at a good price! The breakfast is always good and the local bread is perfect. My only feedback for here is to ask diners if they want a paper or ceramic mug. Automatically giving out paper cups seems less than ideal for the environment. Otherwise thoroughly recommend and the staff always have a smile on their face!
The food was delicious. You get a good amount for what you pay for. I got the breakfast poutine I think it was called and it was absolutely delicious. Will come back.
Amazing first time experience. Looking for a quick bite, came to the right spot. Staff super friendly and helpful, place was clean, owners take care of there business, food was fast and delicious. Went in for the early bird special and ended up with a box of donuts on the way out. They looked and taste amazing. I recommend trying this spot out.
Discovered this place on the week-end. We were in the area and were looking for a brunch place. We had an order of the usual breakfast (eggs, bacon etc) and a burger. Both were great. Nice portions. Friendly staff. Definetly, worth checking out if you are in the area. Would definetly go there again.
My partner and I had the pleasure of visiting this very cool and retro inspired diner for the first time after hearing great things about it. We were not disappointed!The food was amazing! The best bakery style rye bread I've ever had! Our server Krissy was so friendly, and efficient as well. Chris, one of the cooks even brought out our food himself, chatted with us, and was really informative and knowledgeable when we were speaking with him... such a nice guy.We will definitely be returning. It will be a regular breakfast/lunch stop for us whenever we're in St Catharines.Edit: as much as our first experience was top notch, we were very disappointed on our second visit. We got a table and sat down. While waiting for service and menus, 2 other patrons came in and sat down. Not only were they approached first, they were also given menus before we were served. The fact that the servers were serving everyone equally and had no set tables or sections, there"s no reasoning for this kind of service. My partner was very irritated by that and yes, gave the server attitude because of what she did. She then proceeded to go over to the other girls at the counter and talk about her, making it quite obvious as they all turned their heads to look at her simultaneously... How professional. This will be our last time at this establishment. Still want to add that Chris and Krissy were awesome on our first visit!
Such a fun place. Absolutely love the breakfast food. Love the atmosphere, staff was exceptional. Would go back in a heartbeat.
Went through the drive thru on a weekend for some quick Sammie's and diner coffee. Fantastic service, very friendly and the sandwiches and coffee was amazing!! We also got some donuts and holy MOLY. 10/10 (ketchup packet is for scale)
