Ah, it's so hard to lean on Yelp when a restaurant could easily swing one way or the other: the classic no-frills breakfast joint you return to again and again, versus the holy-crap-get-me-outta-here dive diner. Unfortunately, Canarys was the latter.
Coming in here, I literally wanted to turn on m' heel and leave again. It's very dark, dingy, outdated, depressing, and 70s (and not in a groovy way). The waitresses were very sweet, but the coffee, the food, the atmosphere, were all pretty gross.
I get how a place like this can work for this clientele: the people who live in-town, work in-town, and have been coming since the dawn of time. But it's not a fit for folks like me and my family, who are looking for good food at good prices. Sorry Canarys...=(
