Very interesting entourage, lots of seating space for a diner. There is a bar counter here. It has not much choice of alcohol (except beer) but for such a place it is very normal (there are photos of the bar and a drinks menu). The prices are reasonable. The workers are friendly and pleasant to talk to. My wife and I ordered Chicken Parmesan, Buffalo Poutine, Pepsi and Nine Locks IPA beer. I really liked the taste of her pasta. It had an Interesting dense taste. My dish too, but unexpectedly for me it was spicy. Not too much, I just didn't expect and didn't plan to eat spicy on that visit. My mistake, as they explained to me, everyone knows that this sauce is spicy(Buffalo), so it's not written on the menu. I took part of it home and ate it later with pleasure. Beer was ok.
Usually I like to try different places every time and rarely go back to the same places(to taste as much different dishes as I can and make new reviews), but sometimes I get interested in trying some dishes in the same places and this is one of them. So yes, I can recommend this place.
P.S.: I wonder how much it cost to make a car like that and put it on the roof? :)
Vegetarian options: Just saw it in the diner's "about".
Parking: Normal big parking zone around the diner.
Kid-friendliness: They have separate kids menu.
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes :)

One of the best meals in our entire visit to Nova Scotia. Our service was wonderful, and food even better. Loved the atmosphere especially the '55 Ford Thunderbird convertible at the entry. Thanks Vernon!!

Very disappointed. Ate there many times but it was a good thing that this wasn't my. First because I probably wouldn't go back. Three of us went. Two had pan fried haddock which was so salty it couldn't be eaten. Another had fried chicken which was very over cooked and very, very dry - terrible.

All 7 of us had a great meal and a friendly attentive server named Allison.
We're heading back for the corned beef and cabbage next!
