Wow, here is a place I haven't thought of or been to in years. Unless it has changed, my memories are of a true, retro diner--that isn't actually trying to be retro.
I ate here twice. The food is basic of course. And inexpensive. There are always characters and the like having a meal here. It is a real greasy spoon.
I can't really complain...no, I can. I remember why I didn't eat here again. I got sick. But that was a long time ago. I'd go back. I now live pretty far away and have similar places along the Danforth.
Sit at the counter for the real experience! Recommended if you are in the area or working on some check list of "Toronto greasy spoons to try".
