  • I will preface this review by saying that 4 stars is ridiculous. Food and service warrant 3 at best. I have visited the eighty-8 a few times, always at breakfast, looking for the perfect combination of starch, grease, and caffeine to start my weekend or *when underemployed* weekday right. As rooms go, the Eighty8 is weird. A long corridor with vaguely surreal along one wall, and a fireplace that's never on. Chairs and tables look like they were stolen from a few fancier restos (and the occasional patio) in town; they're a bit beat-up, as though hurriedly loaded in the back of a truck under cover of night, before Nicky and Henry Hill lit the joint up. Service is similarly weird. Neither impersonal nor perfunctory. It's awkward, but eventually you give your order, they take it, and food appears. Generally as you ordered it. The food can be weird, if you stray from the breakfast menu. If Greek diners redefined chili through the addition of spices like cinnamon and cloves, then Chinese diner orders are busily redefining the menu with fanciful takes on pastas, soups, and other stuff. I admit, I stick to breakfast. The breakfast is pretty damn good. Eggs arrive properly over easy; bacon is burnt to hell, as order. Sausages are sometimes overdone, but no complaints. Home fries can be swapped out pour leur cousines francaise, mais vous etes plus content si vous choisisez les flapjacques (translation: skip the toast and taters. Get the pancakes. They're huge and spongy and awesome). Coffee ranges from diner dreck to damn fine. The whole experience won't set you back a wack of cash, either. The Fourth star is for being a cartifiable greasy spoon in a neighbourhood that sorely needs one. For all the mid-market chains, there's something to be said for anti-corporate unfriendliness when you walk into a place unshaven and smelling of last night's stag party. Not that I'd know from experience. Now, why are you in Thornhill, anyway?
