  • I don't know exactly what HWY 55 is trying to do. They want to be an "American style diner", and yet this is quite obviously in Canada, where the market is different. Does this work? No. No, it does not. Because unlike the Fifties Diner, or even the old Licks, it did not offer a "diner experience". The atmosphere strikes you immediately. Great decor, but there were more staff than there were customers, and thus you had a lot of people standing around, chatting loudly and doing no work whatsoever. This would be fine if my girlfriend, mother-in-law and I had gone to the late night service, but this was the dinner rush. The food was, I'm sorry to say, absolutely dreadful. I ordered a cheeseburger, my M.I.L ordered a regular burger and my girlfriend (soon to be wife) ordered a poutine. The waitress was kind and polite: about the only good part of the meal. The waiting time was acceptable. We didn't order appetizers. Presentation of the food was decent enough...except for the poutine. My wife's food looked like someone had scraped crappy water out of a toilet bowl and smeared it onto what was supposed to be a "poutine". It tasted about the same--cold and shameful. She also distinctly tasted beef when she was assured that the gravy was vegetarian. Obviously, she didn't finish her food. I found my burger to be overly greasy and extremely small. Considering that a cheeseburger meal is about 14$, it was very underwhelming and I felt ripped off. I was still hungry after finishing the burger and fries. Poor business model and organization. As has been said many times, the owner seems to play favourites with "friends of the family", instead of trying to run the business and improve their poor customer service skills. The owner may also have a sexist streak, as ALL of the wait staff were female and wore pink, and ALL of the cooking staff were male and wore blue. I understand that this is a fifties environment and that's to be expected, but when the food is so ridiculously expensive and so ridiculously heinous, your last worry should be the aesthetics of your staff. I'm also quite sure that the labour board of Ontario wouldn't approve of such sexist hiring practices. Overall, not a good experience. HWY 55 is insulting to Diners everywhere...you might as well just go to the Fifties Diner on Speers instead. Skip.
