| - I haven't dined here in quite some time (since it was called The Counter), but ate here recently on a late Saturday night and was surprised there was a roped lineup to get in. Is this a restaurant or a nightclub?
Waited about 10-15 minutes so it wasn't too bad and luckily it wasn't too cold outside. I knew the food was quite decent and they have good burgers, BLTs and make a tasty poutine, therefore we didn't mind the wait. If the wait time was any longer, we probably would have gone elsewhere.
Prices are fairly reasonable and decor modern with a very casual ambience. Although just a little loud because it was the late night crowd.
Service was a little slow because it was extremely busy, but server was efficient once they appeared even though they didn't check on us once we got our food.
I ordered the BLT which had a good amount of bacon that was cooked to a nice crisp with fresh lettuce and tomatoes. The BLT was served on ciabatta bread and came with a side order of fries which were fresh, crispy, and lightly salted.
My friends both had the fried chicken which they said was good, so I'll take their words for it as I'm not a big fan of fried chicken, but will try it next time since that seems to be another favourite of the diner.
Overall it was a good experience, but I will probably avoid going when the late night crowd is out, unless you don't mind the loud chattering and drunk people around you.
A bonus of Thompson Diner it's open 24 hours.
