Not sure what anyone is expecting when they go here. The food is cheap, service is quick and food tastes good. It is what it is - a diner on Main Street Markham. It's not a steak house - so don't expect top notch steak, because they use a flat top and like I said they are not a steak house. If i was in the mood for steak or Italian food, I would not go to a diner serving Canadian cuisine
Who really cares where the owner & waitresses are from. Are you there to eat or get to know them? I would never expect 5 star dining at a diner that offers "traditional Canadian cuisine" on their sign.
Some of my fav items:
Potato skins - ample cheese, bacon & toppings - done right
Breakfast - generous portions, crispy bacon - coffee is good which is a plus
Clubhouse sandwich - one of my favs - they use fresh chicken not cold cuts like a lot of places do
So many other items - no complaints - kids love it too
I've been going to Uncle Joe's for almost 12 years now - maybe 3-4 times a year. Always had good service, never sent any food back and would I go back - YES!
