A great option - locally owned and operated, a comfy cozy atmosphere that takes you back in time.The food is great, prices are very reasonable and when they discovered we were celebrating a birthday with brunch they made the birthday girl (and her sisters) a free milkshake.Amazing customer service, we will definitely be visiting again soon

This is my new favourite go to restaurant! After only going a handful of times Melissa, Sue and Kyle have made my fiancé and I feel like family. Their prices are great, the atmosphere is incredibly inclusive, 10/10 portions. And the coffee is ALWAYS hot!

We went in for a meal with our family, and we were beyond impressed. The staff was incredibly friendly, the food was quick, delicious and extremely affordable. We ordered a milkshake, and they even brought a little one for our baby to have! They also had a toy, and brought strawberries for baby to snack on. I haven’t experienced a restaurant with such excellent customer service. We will absolutely be back!

This is a fun little family run diner right out of the fifties. The owner and her mom were taking orders and welcoming guests. We ordered the pancakes, a milkshake and a hobo burger and they were all great. The vibe was very cool and they were accommodating for our little one year old.
