My sister moved to Kingston this week to start at teacher's college at Queens. She was coming to pick me up from Niagara, and she called me from Oakville to say... well, she called to say she was in Oakville. I decided that I probably had 40 minutes before she arrived and headed down to the Leslieville Diner, pretty early (8ish) on a Saturday.
I sat down and ordered right away, because I didn't want Beth to be waiting around for me at my house. The food took a LONG time to come (over 20mins) but I forgive this issue as it was early and I was the first person there. I would rather have food take a long time to get to me fresh, than have stale heat lamp food anyday. I bet if you went later in the morning you wouldn't have to wait this long.
The waitress was old and we had difficulty communicating. I just took whatever she brought me, and it was pretty close to what I originally asked for.
The bacon was kind of meh. The hashbrowns were surprisingly okay, but they weren't the best I have ever had. They were definitely above average - hashbrowns, you can be surprised by how amazing or how horrible they are at these kinds of places. So they were on the 'good' side of that equation.
It was very reasonably priced, had a horrible ambiance, and I would probably go there again. I did not omit the word not; I will eat here again in the future. And bask in it's mediocrity. I probably wouldn't take other people there unless I didn't care what they thought of my taste in diners.
