3 Coins needs no introduction. It is a Richmond Hill institution. If you don't know what I am talking about, just read the reviews of other Yelpers; the history is spelt out again and again.
With all its history, 3 Coins stays true to its root as a greasy spoon diner. The outside looks like a diner, the (run down) interior looks like a diner, the menu contains diner food, and the services are in diner style. I ordered a 3-egg omelette with corn beef ($8.45), a typical diner all day breakfast item. Of course the eggs were fresh, and the cooking was typical/average/good enough. The onion inside added a nice texture. I was impressed with the quantity of corn beef though. It was in every centimeter of the omelette. Talking about not skimping on ingredients. The bangs for your bucks is amazing.
The place was packed at 9:30am the Saturday morning I visited. There was a line up for table. The services could be faster, but the 2 waitresses were overwhelmed by the business volume, so I couldn't blame them. Owners/management should take note of the business volume on weekend mornings.
Solid 3.5 stars. It could easily be 4 stars if the services was faster.
