What a delightful surprise. Dropped in for breakfast and there was a short lineup but well worth it. Good portions (shareable) and a wonderful surprise as they only charge a dollar for coffee if you’re having a meal! Budget friendly. Friendly staff. Clean and fun atmosphere. Very busy Sunday morning. It is crowded, but beyond that, it was absolutely perfect! We will definitely return. We highly recommend asking for the hash browns to be crispy! Decadent.

Every time I come here the staff are so friendly!! I come here with my young son who can be a little noisy and quite loud with the banging of the spoons and utensils on the table . They don't even bat an eye they just give him a new spoon when it drops and serve me with a smile! The food is also amazing and the pricing for the said food could not be better. You get large portions and it always tastes amazing. I have not been disappointed once and my son loves the potatoes!! I think it's a win for everyone who goes there

The long lineup outside in January tells you it’s going to be good, oh and it was! Huge servings, great prices and my food was delicious! I can’t believe I’ve never noticed this place! Waitress was perfect friendly, polite and did a perfect job. The decor was awesome. This is my new local favourite place!

We went there for the first time today, even though we live close by. We had been avoiding it as there is no menu on line to check on what they have there. There really is no need as the place is just buzzing all day long, and there is an extensive menu. The food was REALLY good, good portions cooked just right, good prices and good service from Hilary!

Heard about this great diner on Chek tv, Order Up! Didn't disappoint. My 2 friends also loved their meals. The atmosphere was great! A little noisy from all the people enjoying their lunch. Bonus they offer half servings!
