Eating at Victoria restaurant gives me two shots of nostalgia. For starters, it's it casual city diner. There's ugly wallpaper and pink and blue vinyl swivel stools at the counter-nothing fancy but a definite old school vibe. And in another manner, the diner reminds me of the family restaurant I grew up with. There's the same triple slot blast from the past green milkshake machine we had in our joint and the line cooks in their simple whites and paper hats reminds me of my dad manning the grill. At any rate, when I walk into Victoria restaurant I get a feel for a different time and place.
The food is solid here as well for diner fare. A varied lots comes here for breakfast and lunch: blue collar workers, suits, health care workers from nearby St. Mikes.
They pump out tasty and big BLT's, the club sandwich here has real roast chicken (a must for any true club) and the fish and chips though batter heavy features thick halibut. Not bad for a diner! Fries are frozen but I enjoy them all the same because they are thick cut and you get a good batch with most of the dishes here. There's also tangy coleslaw and a nice slab of pickle with most orders-something to cut down the grease. As if!
