"We love the food and the service here. Always pleasant and friendly. It is a place where so many of the seniors go. Good food at a good price for those on fixed incomes. Very accommodating to the mobility impaired. There is nothing better than this old fashioned diner."
- Shelly M., Ontario
"I grew up in the area and have been coming to this restaurant for years. I order my typical eggs Benedict, shredded hashbrowns and coffee. The staff are always friendly. Personally I wouldn't trade coming here for any other place, and I've been to every restaurant in St. Thomas."
- Masscellea, St. Thomas
"Food was great — restaurant clean and staff very friendly! I had the BLT and my mother in law had the quiche with fries. I'm very particular about fries — these were hot & fresh & delicious! We've been here a few times and it never disappoints. Simple good food!"
- Mia, Port Stanley
