I always know when I look back on a place I want to review and I struggle assigning a star rating it's because it was so good I don't know if it was a 4 or a 5, OR it wasn't memorable and deserves under a 3. In this instance unfortunately it was the latter, however it comes close enough to a 3 that I'm willing to round up for now.
The pros:
- hefty portion size
- nice diner feel (something Port Credit needed)
- Clam Chowder soup was made fresh that day and was pretty good
- All day breakfast options
The cons:
- Tight parking lot
- Staff weren't very present despite it not being very busy
- As is the issue with many places like this, the menu has too many options thus lacks identity. I'm not a fan of places that put every kind of food on the menu. The result is nothing stands out because you end up not specializing in anything, you do everything sorta OK
- Case and point my clubhouse sandwich was underwhelming, I asked for mayo on it and was given two packages to spread on myself
As others have mentioned I think there are a few kinks that need to be worked out here, so I'm not writing this location off, but I will be coming back in a few months to sample their breakfast and other items before adjusting my review up or down a star.
