I finally tried this place today for a late lunch with a friend. Darn, really wish I had tried it sooner.
Basic food, very wallet friendly prices and family run (or so I assumed)--it is like you are eating in their home and they certainly treated us well.
While you can certainly get a good lunch here, breakfast is obviously the reason to go. (I suspect they may be closed for dinner). Probably not a good enough reason to travel to the east end but certainly a good enough reason to stay in the east end--especially if you are searching for a great greasy spoon along the Danforth. Recommended!
