This place is such a classic diner. Food is priced well, I am happy that they have lasted this long. Will definitely visit when I can.Vegetarian options: You can get Tofu, Avocado or Grilled Tomatoes instead of meat.

I loved the place! Is the first time I visited and will not be the unique. Good portions in food, the staff is awesome and they serve your order immediately. The strawberry milkshake is a blast! The place is super iconic and north american classic, the music man! Rush was playing while I arrived . Sadly looks abandoned because is in old Vancouver zone surrounded by homeless people but this not dismiss it value, I would love to see oldie Vancouver and its historical places better worthy

It's such a special, secret place hidden in a part of the city of Vancouver, that obviously intimidates your average homeowner. The nostalgia it inspires reminds me of how small diners actually were when I was a child in the 1980's. It is easily one of my favorite restaurants to actually be inside of. They are also the only place I know that offers blue berry pancakes on their menu. Definitely, highly recommended with a side of 3 or more bacon. The staff there seem genuinely happy to work there, which is something so important to me. To be fair, I would have given max stars on everything, but then would anyone bother to read this? This is one of the last great secrets of Vancouver's Eastside: it would be a lie to say otherwise.Kid-friendliness: I think despite the negative view of this area of the city, most people will agree that the majority of people here have a respect and a kindness to protect children from seeing undesirable sights, such as drug use. I find this location is hardly any different, as typically most people are aware that some child may accidentally listen to their conversation. But I've never heard of anyone doing something as ignorant as exposing someone's child to their troubles. Again, I have heard it many times outside; "Kids on the block." It's a reminder to be on your best behavior, because these are someone's children, and childhood is still a valued time in the lives of people here.Wheelchair accessibility: I found the place to be fairly wheelchair accessible. Even the front door is easily entered, and the seating includes old wooden booths, but also has a traditional bar/counter with stools and probably plenty of room for a wheelchair.

My favorite is the fish and chips with aside of gravy. The milkshakes are very thick ngl they have so many flavors too. They have fast service and a great diner.
