I was quite excited to try this place as I heard it may be considered a landmark deli or iconic smoked meat establishement combined with the fact that it's open 24 hours - we were off to a good start.
The menu is extensive and features all your classic diner homemade style foods, including breakfast served all day if you just fancy eggs in the middle of the night. I love comfort food so I'm happy with the casual menu and low prices. What I found disappointing was how small the portions were. The largest smoke meat plate they offer really wasn't big at all and the fries and the poutine are underwhelming. The fries are skinny, too crispy and taste like freezer burn. Plus they use cheap grated mozarella instead of curd cheese for the poutine. It's not the classic Quebec style I was expecting.
Our table got a mix of smoked meat, lasagna, rice, souvlaki, poutine, cake and pie, all of which was decent but not great.
If you like big portions, this place doesn't deliver the generous sizes you would come to expect from a homestyle deli. Mama's cooking really IS better in this case.
Most dishes are within the 15$ range, including the table d'hote specials, so it's very affordable and would serve well as a family outting.
