| - The Ontario Bistro does an excellent job for what it is. A friendly, clean, restaurant that serves quality, home cooked meals. Prices are very reasonable, if not cheap. The food is great, always fresh, and generous portions. The 'usual' breakfast includes 3 eggs, 4 pieces of bacon, home fries, a slice of fresh tomato, and a coffee for less than $6. A great value. Breakfast seems to be the busiest time of day, and never feels overcrowded. Lunch specials are usually available. I've had the days soup (freshly made), hot beef sandwich (you can tell the beef was cooked there, no processed or short cuts), mashed potatoes, and veg for under $10. Ask the waitress for the daily special as it's not always easy to know what they are. There is a sheet on the bar listing the specials, but it's easy to miss. The hamburger, corned beef, and BLT are also good. The menu is large and includes steak, chicken, and pork.
The exterior is not inviting and I avoided this place for a long time, despite being told how good it is. Once inside, the place is comfortable and very pleasant.
You get the impression that the place is run by people that take great pride in their work. This gets high marks from me.
