Yes, the prices are low and cheap. Serving time takes a while, but it's just one lady working alone.
It is so disgusting and dirty in there. I don't know why anyone would want to go back, unless you are taking your food to-go and trying your very best to forget the filth that it was cooked in.

Classic tiny hole in the wall diner. Gale is a pleasant lady and makes great food. Can't find cheaper prices anywhere in Canada, I guarantee.

Felt bad so gave her a tip as she is the only person working here and takes a while to make the food, ten minutes. I came In and interrupted a convo she was having with an old timer customer.
I think I was quoted the wrong price or I heard wrong but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. I got a club house sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side and got some fries. Total should be 5 dollars plus tax which is 5.60. I think I was asked for 6.50 but I'll let this slide as most come here for the price.
Gave her a tip anyway cause I felt bad!
Food was decent. Nothing amazing.
Seemingly only open at 3pm on weekdays now. I'll change it until otherwise stated.

Be prepared, you get what you ask for. $2.95 for a club sandwich says a lot. It’s an old school dinner, not pretentious. Needs some reno, but that’s the charm you know! If you like to feel that, you should 100% check this out.
In this economy, it’s a great sandwich. Quality reflects that. I tried it, it was ok. The fries a bit too fried. But overall it’s a hidden gem for the price point.
I would like to try the cheeseburger next. These are apparently done good options.

You have to be lucky to get in, but it brought me back about 40 years. Amazing French fries and also had a good hot dog. Definitely deserves the name Snack Bar.
When you factor in price, this place and this woman are priceless. The Western sandwich is basically a perfect omelet made with finely-chopped veggies and some toast, for A DOLLAR SEVENTY-FIVE. Her Club sandwich seems very popular, packed with chicken and bacon - I mean its ingredients aren't all top-notch but it's TWO NINETY-FIVE. A burger and fries will set you back four bucks - they come piping hot and are solid. The battered fish had a strange flavour in there - the three pieces looked plump and yummy but the batter was thick, encasing not very much fish. Her hamburger plate apparently comes with gravy, will report back on that, and the cold sandwiches.
I am deeply nostalgic for these prices and the untouched space, which could be existing in the '40s. The food is ample and nutritious; the philosophy seems to be simple, hearty and cheap enough for almost anyone.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! SO CHEAP!
For $10, my gf and I ordered 2 club sandwich’s, a cheeseburger and a soda. It’s been on our bucket list to come here for over a year. The burgers should be everyone’s go to. Everything was made with such perfection, you can tell she put in a lot of effort. Whoever orders here please tip her as much as you’re able, she deserves it.

Amazing restaurant. Prices are the best in the city for the portion. Nice old look to the interior. Truly worth visiting. Everything is made fresh to order and so good. Such a nice visit. Friendly staff. Bus stops nearby. Bicycle racks out front. Cash only. No WiFi.

Ok listen: it's not fine dining. But what it is is the best value in the city for tasty food, prepared fresh and served by lovely Eda, in a snack bar that time forgot! Try the club sandwich it's delicious. Will try the rest of the menu on future visits.
