Fantastic greasy eats with sizable portions at cheap prices.
It's not going to be the best and definitely not the healthiest, but Avenue Open Kitchen is a diner. And it's a very legitimate diner at that. Service is slow, but the staff are more than familiar and definitely quite friendly. Seating is limited, bar seating and a few booths and small tables.
The mac and cheese Friday specials are good! They have a special each day of the week and they all sound wonderful, but I only had the chance to try Friday's. I did find it oily (what'd you expect!) but it also did come with 'chef's salad' (sorta makes up for it) for $8.50 + HST. I do like mac and cheese, but I don't think it's fantastic.... just decent. However, I'm quite satisfied with the value I get here.
The chicken souvlaki on a pita was tasty, with a good amount of tzaziki making it a creamy and satisfying lunch. The pita was a decent size and it came at a cheap price too ($5.50).
I'd come back again.
