Quality food good vibes diner with great prices. The home fries are dang good and the eggs are perfectly cooked.
We had a very nice breakfast (affordable and delicious) at this restaurant. Reminded us of a mom and pop diner, nothing too fancy just tasty and really friendly staff. It wasn't very busy (but it snowed buckets this morning and the location can be iffy - not the establishments fault) and they have lots of street parking. The building is older heritage vibes but the restaurant was clean. We loved our server, she was very friendly and our food came out fresh and hot. Cinnamon spread on toast was delicious. We took a full pie home to go and it was still fresh from the oven when she packed it up. We will go back for breakfast again!
If you're anything like me, I try and hunt down authentic, non corporate diners wherever I can. And, when given the choice, I try to locate ones with down home, nostalgic vibes. You'll find all of that and more at this cute li'l diner. The food was generous and plentiful, and the warm, welcoming owner, Tammy, was eager to make us feel part of the family. Substitutions and flexibility seem to be no problem. If you're in TBay, and love cute, no nonsense, diners that serve great food (with great pies) please stop in and tell Tammy that Paige sent you.
