| - We were actually sitting at the table behind yours that morning, Jimi. I was watching your story unfold pretty much as you told it, and felt bad for you (and especially your wife).
I agree with most of what you've said. I've written a shorter review on leslieviller.com where I essentially described everything as mediocre/average, but the food is home-made and very well-priced.
I've been three times now... I find if I stick to going for simple food (i.e. burgers, breakfast special, homemade soup, homemade pie), speak loudly for the waitresses, and pay more attention to my newspaper than the decor, I leave pretty satisfied.
To contrast, we had breakfast at Okay Okay this past Saturday. We probably paid 50% more for the same food (an order of pancakes, a classic eggs/sausage/toast/potatoes breakfast, coffee, and tea), sat at a counter with our knees crammed up against the underside, and were served McDonald's style hashbrown patty.
So as far as cheap, home cooked food goes, Leslieville Diner will probably get more of my money than Okay Okay.
