  I found this place as I dropped off my car to be serviced across the street. Friday morning at 9:30 and it was my first time here. It looks like a little mom and pop diner that has been around awhile and the menu had enough variety that I think anyone can find what they want.
  
  I had the western omelette meal that was an omelette, toast, hash browns, toast, bacon AND sausage for $12. Best deal in town! The omelette was made with whole eggs, not the fake ones that come from a carton and look flat and rubbery. The amount of food I got was ridiculous and I couldn't finish it and it was just damn good down home cooking. I will absolutely be stopping here every time I am across the street for service and will be sending my parents there as I know it is exactly what they would love and the price they can afford.
  
  I plan on popping by for a lunch in the future! It's not fancy. It's not complicated. It's just damn good home cooking.

  This place has been around for a long time and we thought it must be great for that reason. When we entered we seated ourselves in an 80's decor, basic clean, dated diner. We were offered coffee and given menus. The menus were paper inserted into "sheet protectors" (c/w prepunched holes!) that were absolutely filthy and worn. So greasy and stained I could barely see through the sheet protector to read the faded print.
  We ordered the French dip and Clubhouse with fries. The fries were okay at first because they were hot. There was only a handful on each plate. But once they were cold the bad oil taste was evident.
  The French dip was deli meat roast beef in a bun. No sauce no cheese no onions no toasted bun, just dry processed deli meat tossed into a preservative loaded cold bun.  Dip juice tasted like brown water.
  The clubhouse was equally disappointing, deli meat and brown toast.  Sadly I cannot review the cole slaw as it was not eaten.

  It's a dated looking restaurant in an industrial plaza - but something about it works. You don't go here expecting five star dining, but you get inexpensive food, friendly chatter and hot coffee.
  
  The menu is breakfast heavy, with some burgers, sandwiches and a few Asian dishes (think stir fried and simpler things). The Monte Cristo benedict was tasty as was simple bacon and eggs. Food came out fast and hot. We had a coffee and a juice and everything came to about $25.
  
  Overall, decent place. I'd come back to try a burger maybe!

  Hidden away in a rather industrial part of town (What part of this town isn't industrial, right?) just off Stoney Plain Road in the west end, this quiet little place offers an eclectic menu and cheap prices. You will get what you pay for, but you shouldn't be paying more than $12 for an omelet and home fries, anyway.
  
  The fare is typical American diner but with a good number of intriguing Chinese and Mexican dishes. You can't go wrong with that combination.
  
  The 1990's décor is due for an upgrade, but the space was otherwise pleasant to eat at -- clean and reserved, with a healthy dose of Saturday morning breakfast chatter from a relatively older crowd. Everyone seemed happy with their experience.
  
  While we were waiting, the matriarch of the place (?) brought us a selection of baked dessert treats. (You can never go wrong with a free Rice Krispies® square.) But it wasn't too long before the food arrived.
  
  As I mentioned earlier, I ordered a veggie and cheese omelet, which was accompanied by a side of home fries and whole wheat toast. I wished they'd also thrown-in a couple of packets of jam, but the toast were quite flavourful alone with their buttery topping and perfectly toasted texture. The omelet didn't disappoint, with a good heaping of vegetables and cheese, and the waitress kept our coffee flowing.
  
  My wife ordered the enormous "Breakfast Combo", which included two of each of eggs, bacon, sausage, toast and pancakes (she substituted French toast). That's two eggs, two bacon slices, two breakfast sausages, two pieces of toast, and two French toast! She couldn't finish it all, obviously, but that only meant more for me. (You can order the "Mini Combo" if you're not feeling as ambitious.) The waitress was quite accommodating in making minor substitutions.
  
  It's worth mentioning that, with the lush pine trees outside and brown brick, almost Frank Lloyd Wright-esque architecture (perhaps I go too far) of the buildings, you almost forget you're dining in a business park surrounded by car dealerships and truck custom shops. The exterior sign and trim have a decidedly -- and perplexingly -- Swiss Alps influence. Certainly, it was a great place to sit quietly, enjoy our diner coffee and breakfast, and read the newspaper.
  
  They even have Wi-Fi if you really can't resist complaining about something to your 800 fake on-line friends.
  
  It's not a place for hipsters though I'm sure they'd tolerate them -- it's a family restaurant, after all. Don't expect to go there to get noticed. And if you're looking for "clever deconstructions" of everyday foods at ironically high prices, we'll thank you to go elsewhere.
  
  I'd give this place 3 1/2 stars if I could. Some improvements needed, but at least we didn't leave broke or hungry. We will definitely return.

  Just had lunch here with three co-workers. I ordered the Belgian Waffle with a side of ham. The side of ham was four slices of deli meat and cost $4.95. One of my co-workers ordered Chicken Fingers, one of which was raw. Servers are pleasant but the food was sub-par.
