The food was excellent!! My husband had a Reuben sandwich which he said was really good! My cheeseburger was excellent and cooked to order! The curly fries were crispy and exceptionally good!...

Excellent Meat Lovers Omelette! Tastes homemade. The bacon was exactly how I like it. One of the best omelettes I've ever had

Classic diner, really friendly service and super tasty food! The homemade crab Rangoon sticks were delicious, and so was the poutine Dani's way! Would come again
