I Called and I had poor service. The waitress informed me that I was cutting out, I apologized and went to move to different spot in my apartment. The waitress responded “k, lets just get this done”.Super rude and unnecessary. Wont be getting breakfast here again.

Although the restaurant is looking a bit tired (the same decor & paint for decades) it’s a reliable homestyle / classic diner with good selection. Certain items are overpriced (see $20 Penne for details) but others are totally reasonable and yummy (burgers, sandwiches, etc.). $7 kids menu with big serving sizes. And yes, the $8 shake is worth it! Friendly service and is always worth a stop if you are looking for quick and easy great spoon classics.Kid-friendliness: Good menu selection!

This 50's diner has a great menu and the food and service are excellent. The chicken avocado club on rye is my fav. Consistently perfect avocado and fresh ingredients. Perfect Banana Split! Check the opening hours and then give it a try. You might be pleasantly surprised!

Club and poutine was one of the better ones I've had lately. The server was fast and friendly. Hours are a bit restricted around dinner, so check before you go but I'm guessing they are busier for breakfast and lunch.

I cooked there over 20 years ago now. The place was ran by Freeman and Anthony. Those two were awesome people to work for. The waitress were all "seasoned and experienced" if you know what I mean and they had the best attitude. Sam in the back was always in a great mood as well and lets not forget happy old Floyd who washed dishes. It was a great place work. I was a silly 20yrs old who partied too much back then. I did get fired after being given many chances but i deserved it. I miss this place 20 years after. Very fond memories

A shout out to Rockin' Johnny's in Westgate. What excellent service!!In and out within less than 40 minutes while on a 1 hour pass from the Royal Ottawa with my friend. Highly recommend them if you are in a hurry on the weekend.
