It has a 1980's feel to it, and based on the clientele there, it's an ideal spot for families with kids, and "mature" patrons, if you know what I mean. (Perhaps that has more to do with who lives around there in the NDG area, though).
But chicken was super delicious and had a great charred taste from the grill. I ordered the chicken and fries a la carte as another reviewer had recommended in order to get a larger pile of fries. (In contrast, my husband ordered the chicken combo meal which is a couple of bucks more but includes soup.) But when our food arrived, my husband had as large of a pile of fries as I did! Anyway, lesson learned. Next time I'll order the combo too because soup on a cold winter day sounds pretty good.
Maybe this is a duh comment, but don't order the Boston creme pie for dessert. It came out still a bit frozen where it likely has been stored for a quite awhile.
Great casual diner at very reasonable prices.
