| - Put on your thick rimmed glasses, get your beanie out and wear the tightest jeans you have in your closet because this is a hipster diner defined. This is not a bad thing, the place looks like a vintage diner from the 70's and I dig the vibe they are dishing out. As uncomfortable as the seats are, they make me feel like I'm a character straight out of a comic book so I'll take the pain to look cool.
The servers are pretty happy to help explain everything on their menu and there is usually just one chef slaving away behind the bar. Make sure you come early to grab your seats at lunch, because the place fills up quick! I ordered the Wallace Salted beef - steamed pickled cabbage, thousand island dressing, gruyere, rye with a side of onion rings and a milk shake. Can I say one thing about that milk shake...it's probably one of the thickest milk shakes I've ever had. I was worried I would suck up the straw and choke on it, that thing was so solid! Not a bad thing though, it was great. The sandwich was great as well, greasy as hell, but I ate up every bite. I could feel my arteries slowly clogging as I finished the last bite, but it was worth it!
Overall, I really feel the vibe and the food is great here. A nice local gem in the heart of nothing much else around the Lansdowne area, with delicious hearty food. Just make sure to have a salad or something for dinner later!
