I eat at a lot of cheap diners. This one is exceptionally reasonably priced. For a bacon and eggs breakfast and a french toast breakfast with coffees it was under 15$ including tax and tip. But it just isn't as good as other cheap diners. I would rather pay $20 for something made with higher quality ingredients.
The good:
- 3 eggs
- 4 strips of bacon
- meh to okay hashbrowns (It's hard to impress me with your hashbrowns. I'm the first to admit it.)
The flatline:
- the eggs were not poached like poached eggs should be... see the photo Kat posted (that was my breakfast) - they were poached in little containers that I think probably floated in water to poach the eggs... it wasn't really poached like poached eggs are supposed to be poached.
- the hashbrowns weren't crispy but they did have a nice flavour
- cheap bacon (but a big serving)
- acceptable coffee but no coffee after 1100 on weekdays and 1400 on weekends
My summary of the all day breakfast at the Collegiate Lunch is that it's a cheap meal of cheap ingredients and it's not that great. I will probably come back here but I might try something else like a western or peameal sandwich. I would rather eat at Bus Terminal Diner at a comparable price point.
