| - We were sort of hesitant to come here based upon the reviews of it but decided to anyways as the wife and I were in the mood to eat a little cheaper and get a couple of hot dogs and french fries. The place looks really cool, like a 50's diner, and is super clean so first appearance was pretty good. The guy taking our order, who I believe was the manager, lived up to the billing of "not so friendly" as he seemed to be incapable of smiling and a bit impatient. He also asked what name to call out when it was ready and I told him my name.
So we waited about 10 minutes, then another 10 minutes and then about 25 minutes in (what takes so long to fix some hot dogs and fries??) the guy came out with an order and started calling for Stefanie, which is my wife's name. My wife asked if I had given her name and I said no. But then I thought maybe since we had paid for using her card it was our order and sure enough, it was. Why do they ask for a name to use and then use a name for a card? Really stupid I think. Anyways, the guy gave us our order without a word and seemed a bit miffed that he had to call out the name several times (as if it was our fault or something).
The food itself was pretty good, nothing amazing. The best part was definitely the poutine fries which were covered in gravy, cheese and were just really good fries. The food wasn't exactly hot though. If the fries had been hot I think they'd have gone from pretty good to downright awesome but we will never know I suppose. My wife enjoyed her polish hot dog and I enjoyed my chili cheese dog but again, just average food. Neither the chili nor the hot dogs were memorable.
All in all this isn't a bad place if you are hungry and nearby, the prices are pretty good but the wait is too long for what you get, the food isn't anything special and the orders seem to come served with a bit of an attitude. If I was in the same spot again we'd probably try Pinks hot dogs instead.
