Ordered the new chicken and waffles and WOW! The fluffy waffle and perfectly cooked crispy chicken with butter syrup is amazing. Loved the addition of the honey mustard sauce on the side to dip. This is the perfect combo of sweet and savoury. I will definitely order this again and highly recommend it. Enjoy!

The food was great, the bacon cheese dog was exactly how our diner was in our hometown when we were growing up. The service was fantastic. The milkshakes were the best!

What a charming and nostalgic diner! We had a great time here exploring the cool old school diner interior with booth seatings, old phones, collection of radio and old school phones, juke box. Just so much fun!

Service was friendly, fast and little town welcoming. Just the best really.

Food to be honest was nothing too special, but homey and exactly what you'd expected. High praise on the shakes though... they were so yummy, creamy and made just the way they should, whipcream, sprinkles and all. If you're coming to eat here, it's for all the greasy stuff :) best lean into it 😉 (no need to order salads)

We sat in the rail car that's parked outside and it was so fun. They've done such a great job incorporating the railcar into the dining experience.

We ended our visit with old school donkey Kong arcade game and popping in a looney into the Double Bubble bubblegum machine. So fun to watch and what a great experience for my 8 year old to watch.

A definite gem of Lake Cowichan and a must must visit for diner loving peeps. Thanks you guys for having us today 😃

This place is amazing. Everything is made from scratch, the milkshakes are phenomenal, they have arcade games and the perfect old-school vibe. Clean as a whistle and friendly and fast service. Will definitely stop here again!

So we stopped for a travel break in Lake Cowichan, and found this little local diner beside A&W. They advertise 48 flavors of milkshake, mini donuts, and the usual burger joint fare. The food was excellent, and the staff very helpful and friendly.
