Macey's is an old school Canto diner and institution in the city. Shutdowns can't even keep this place closed. Interior, including the well-worn menus, have remained the same. Waitresses have been here for decades.
Food: The free porky soup was flavourful. Canto Chow Mein did not arrive piping hot, but all the ingredients were there. Shrimp was a tad bit off, but edible. And Portuguese Baked Rice - more like a very coconut milk-based, mild curry - lacked salt, but was fine.
Service is no fuss and efficient. Food arrives at lightening speed. You're in and out for a quick meal. Show up in your fanciest jogging pants.
This place is for people who don't like change, same old, same old.
