A massive portion of crispy bacon. The French toast is an absolute MUST-try, made on French bread! Great food and service!!

Small cute little place . Book a reservation, otherwise you’ll miss out. Food is so good and fresh, portions large. You wouldn’t believe the thickness of the French toast, omelettes are sooo good, homemade potatoes, breakfast sausages best we’ve had. Best Breakfast in the Pass !

I am a local, and this is by far our favourite place in the Pass, especially for a good brunch. We have been here 20+ times and the consistency in the food and the service is amazing. You will not find better prices anywhere in Canada I can guarantee you that. Order the French toast!

I absolutely love this restaurant and have made it a tradition to stop in every year when we pass through on our summer road trip. The food is delicious, the prices are incredible and the friendliness and service is outstanding. I'd eat here daily if I lived nearby. They were even kind enough to accommodate us close to closing. It's got such a great small town feel, the real deal, the way it used to be. Coffee served in proper brown mugs. Thank you so much and can't wait to return!

The old town district is not what it once was. I really wasn't sure what to expect from this establishment. All I can say is, "Wow, what a hidden gem The staff are friendly and pleasant. The food and portions are like a home cooked meal. Prices are reasonable.

Everything about this place is great. Come here every time we are in town because it just has the most amazing comfort food and tastes great! If you can support local go here because you will not be disappointed!! Will continue to come here for as long as I possibly can.

Had high expectations after reading reviews...not disappointed! I suggest making a reservation since they are very popular...Good breakfast...warm and prompt service and healthy portions...good job ay!?
