| - We just ate there for the first time, for breakfast. Other than long wait times, we were impressed.
There were plenty of options, and the portions were VERY plentiful at a very respectable price.
I got the "Canadian" breakfast... 3 eggs, 2 sausages, 5 or 6 strips of bacon, a side of baked beans, a large amount of home fries, 2 slices of bread, a thick grilled tomato slice, and unlimited coffee/tea. I think it was like $6.75
My friends got a similar breakfast plate, but instead of bacon and sausages, it came with an 8oz steak and a ton of sautéed mushrooms and onions. I think theirs was $8.25 each. They liked it all, and said the steak was very tasty, and was properly cooked to the level they requested.
The eggs were very large and well cooked. The bacon was crisp and delicious. The baked beans were quite nice. The home fries were interesting -- they weren't like "deep fried" home fries like some other places, but more just small chunks of soft potatoes, but still tasted nice. The grilled tomato was a nice touch, and had good flavour. The coffee was fine -- I'm far from a "coffee snob" so to me, coffee tastes like coffee. She only gave us 18% cream (which is a bit odd) but she was fine when I asked for milk -- she was polite and courteous overall.
My only complaint was the wait time, as I said at the beginning. From when we ordered, it was about 30 minutes until the food arrived. There *WERE* other customers (all elderly retirees) but they all already had been served, so we were puzzled why it took so long.
We were pleased overall and are likely to return -- many other breakfast places would've been about $36+tax for what we got, but this was $23+tax. Good value.
