I called to make a reservation and they told me I did not need one. so when we got there we were put on a list and waited 2 hours. very rude hostess and lied to us several times to seat other people in front of us and they never did call us to be seated so we were not able to even get a table after two and a half hours we finally just left. very disrespectful staff, very rude hostess and a knowledgeable people who answer the phone. the place seems to be run by kids. an adult needs...read full review

The Canal Street Café offers delicious food, especially at their breakfast buffet, which includes a variety of tasty options. The cheesy scalloped potatoes are a highlight. Recent reviews highlight that the food alone makes it worth a visit, with desserts receiving high praise for their taste and presentation. The service can vary, with some servers providing exceptional friendliness and kindness, while others may need improvement in areas like refilling drinks and being more welcoming. One server was praised for going above and beyond to make things right when orders were mixed up. Customers appreciate the quick seating process, even during busy times like Mother's Day, and note that the staff can be very attentive. Some guests mentioned that the restaurant's hours are tight, and the staff sometimes seem rushed or unfriendly, especially when closing time approaches. Overall, the food is a major attraction, and the service quality can fluctuate, but the experience often leaves customers satisfied. There have been suggestions to offer more non-pork meat options.
