| - I went to Johnny's this morning.
You can tell this is a family owned business, grandma, mum, dad, daughter and son I'm pretty sure. They have nice touches like mints and toothpicks and my coffee was served in an old mug which read "my mum's the best" which was so touching.
The atmosphere is very relaxed, there's a nice breeze from the open windows and strong fans going at the top. Service is quick - I got my breakfast in about 4 minutes after ordering with table service.
food....The coffee was soooo good. I'm a coffee lover, very much so this was a surprise to me. I've had a few eggs benny in my time so I'm spoiled. The eggs were perfectly cooked. The english muffins were below average, so was the hollandaise, and the home fries. It made me feel a bit sick but I hardly have an iron stomach. I didn't see anything wrong with the orange juice, it was just cheap.
I have this friend, he eats in food courts in malls, he never complains about food and he would eat things I would otherwise turn my nose up at. But that's him and I've eaten some very good food in my time so that's an important factor here.
If basically get what you pay for here, the food is so cheap, and the service is great, and the atmosphere is nice. I haven't tried the burgers yet but they could be fantastic. The poutine the lady was having next to me looked a bit sad.
The thing is, yelpers are critical that's why they are here. If you like nice food, the eggs benny is not for you. If you are fussy about service and atmosphere, then it is. Its a great place to feel like you've gone home to mums house for breakfast or just to have a coffee or a cold drink.
