Wow, can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet! If you can make it past the prostitutes and drug addicts - OK, I exaggerate, its not THAT bad (until you go a bit south, then it really is that bad) - you can spot a old fashion diner on the corner lot.
The service is immediately inviting and friendly and the restaurant is small but well laid out. How can you deny an illuminated faux window scene aimed to make you feel like your gazing out onto a foreign landscape...tacky as it gets, but hey, for this neighbourhood its an elegant touch.
Now I'll get onto the food! The menu is well priced with everything in and around the $8-13 range but please do come hungry. Portions here would give even our neighbours to the south a reason to let out their belt buckles a couple notches.
I swear, they must use about 5 eggs in their omelettes, and they are so fluffy and packed with all the good stuff. I'd steer clear of the more average options like perhaps some of the sandwiches, in place of the fantastic brunch items....oh ya and the souvlaki's in a pita etc (this ain't exactly the Danthforth). The Eggs Bennies were a tad pricey but BOY I've got to admit it was well worth the couple extra $$. Couldn't have asked for better stuff. Pretty much everything from the mains to the sides (addictively delicious hash taters, super buttery toast) were spot on.
Good hearty meals made fresh and served up with sincerity. This is the best diner I have been to and I can't wait to come back for some brunch tings!
