The food here is surprisingly good and the portions are big. I recommend the bacon cheese burger with onion rings. The fish and chips are also one of my favourites however you must pay extra for tartar sauce as it isn't included (although it should be!). It definitely isn't the nicest place to eat, but since I live around the corner I usually just order for pick up. If you're in the area and have a hankering for some fish and chips or a decent burger at a reasonable price then definitely check this place out.

The food is awful and takes FAR too long. Not a one-time experience either ... each disappointing time I have been there it is the same. The service, while friendly, is generally clueless. Music thumping through the cafe while there are three customers who cannot hear themselves think, water glasses that go un-filled, waiting for menus while there are barely any patrons, having to ask for cutlery, so on and so on and so on.
After my last terrible lunch - quinoa salad with undercooked broccoli and some dusty apple puree globbed at the bottom - I have vowed never to go back. Too bad. The cafe itself is pretty to sit in, but not worth the pricetag or the crap food. The fact that you can age about 10 years while waiting for it makes it a total no-brainer that going back ain't gonna happen. Blech. -

The fish and chips here are surprisingly awesome. They make them on the spot and so they are fresh and tasty. Be warned though, they do take forever. I once had to wait close to an hour for mine. That is ridiculous, in my opinion, but once I tried the fish I forgot about the wait.
I usually go with the fish and chips but they also have a pretty good burger. I have yet to try any of their sandwiches but they look good.
Service is spotty, at best. Aside from the aforementioned long waits for food, they once charged me for my food, and while I was waiting said they made a mistake and asked me for an extra $6 bucks. I was like wtf. Turns out they were right but that is annoying. Get it right the first time! -

Good Diner Grub. The Ethiopian Cook is Funny and Fantastic. The Vegan Burger is Delicious, it is a Potato Patty on a Whole Wheat Bun! the Onion Rings are dope, I recommend Mustard on those babies, try it seriously... it blows my mind. They also deliver!!!! ;) They deliver through a website, I think Just Eat or Grub Canada. I had delivery, it was fast and awesome!
It is good old fashioned Spoon Food, the people are polite but don't kiss your hind quarters... I like that!
Side Note, some semi-questionable charecters hang out in the shadows over there... take it easy, and keep an eye! -

Well, I went to this 24 hour joint a few weeks ago after an event at the Gladstone Hotel.
The women working behind the counter sure seemed like they had been there for ages. They don't care about looking like the hipsters that were hanging. They got straight to the point and gave you what you asked sans cheery disposition.
I went in with no expectations. So, when you want a cup of coffee without cares and any kind of pastry to chew on, well it ain`t bad. In addition, to that they serve a rigmarole of food fillers. Soups, sandwiches, hot dogs etc.... Now throw in a cheap price and you'll be doing just fine,
So, if you are out on the west west side, you can't really go wrong here with something to just fill you up and warm your stomach while you be relaxing from whatever late night queen street west west event finished. Don't expect a 5 star meal but say something better than a microwave sandwich from 7-11.
