| - A solid and most of all honest place! No frills, no special treatment,no fancy this or that! They have a choo choo train riding up on the rafters and worn out tables on which thousands and thousands of elbows have rested. This place has a soul.
The food is much like the atmosphere, simple, hearty goodness. It's mildly seasoned (which would be a crime in certain restaurants) but here it's part of the shtick, a lot of older people come here and they prefer to season their own food, it's a common practice of classic eating holes. Being sensitive to those who "don't like too much salt" or "don't like it spicy" also to those who have health conditions that need to monitor what they eat. One other great feature, this place is cheap and has very fair pricing for everything on the menu!
It's open 24 hours and is a great late night destination ( much better than Denny's). The servers have lots of personality and are a pleasure to chat with. In my opinion, it's one of those few places that all ages, all walks of life are truly welcome and all treated with the same care. No niche crowds here, (well maybe truckers are a niche crowd!) But it really does have a homely feel about it and its one of the few restaurants where outdated and worn out decor actually enhance the experience. It is what it is ! A true Calgary classic! Nothing more, nothing less! Check it out!
