Finally had a chance to try out this diner. The service was excellent! The young lady who served us was super friendly and helpful with menu suggestions. We came on a Friday night close to closing, so it wasn’t terribly busy. The place was clean, bright, and fairly spacious. The menu offered classic diner type options. The breakfast burger was excellent. It was juicy and flavorful. The corned beef Benny was also really good. You get three poached eggs on two toasted English muffins along with the corned beef. Home-style fries were also quite good. The French onion soup was tasty and not too salty. Not five star restaurant standards but pretty good considering this is a local diner. The Reuben sandwich was also tasty and juicy. The hamburger steak was the only dish that didn’t live up to the hype. The burger steak itself was overcooked and dry. The gravy that accompanied it was on the saltier side and the mashed potatoes tasted bland. I suppose you could just mix the gravy with the mashed potatoes to try and balance out the flavors. Aside from the one dish that wasn’t that great, everything else was enjoyable. We will definitely come back and try some of their other dishes.

Perfect score! no wonder this place has been open for 47 years!! Service by Sharron was excellent, all eggs were cooked perfectly, home fries were on point, coffee was brewed fresh and refilled when needed. The diner was meticulously clean and it looks like the renovation had just taken place but it actually happened seven years ago. Very decently priced (the Benedict came with three eggs!) Vegan & veg options, yay! Bravo to all staff & management!

70 years strong! This place is a Toronto eastend gem. A must try for any breakfast loving Torontonians. The sizzler plates are the best I've ever had. Cozy, clean vintage environment with friendly and efficient service cooking up old school comfort food.

We went there for our 46 anniversary dinner as my partner wanted the liver and onions (no pic), with mashed potatoes. I had the banquet burger, fully loaded and it was great! cooked to perfection and very flavourful. I had the home fries because I'm not a fan of coated French fries. Our waitress was perfect and honest. Ask for Shie, as in Cheyenne. A beautiful old decor and and convenient parking. Check it out.

Great little classic greasy spoon diner. The benedicts are great as they give you 3 eggs. Steak was actually well cooked (unusual for a brunch spot) and fairly tasty. The layout is a treat, with murals and homages to the great 50s and 60s and fairly roomy. Great atmosphere, easy orders and plenty of selection make for an overall solid spot.
