"A quick take: a mom and pop diner, quick service, good food, CASH ONLY I found this place on Google when I was looking for a late dinner past 8:30pm. Upon entering I was greeted by couple I presume are the owners. They were sitting and talking without their masks on, and they had this curious look on them when I stepped in. I guess they were not expecting customers at that hour. They didn't ask for a proof of vaccination. I ordered a seafood platter and a chocolate milkshake to go, which came to $23. Thank God I had cash on me, otherwise I would've had to find another place that's open in the middle of snow squall. The milkshake was not thick, which made it easy to drink with a straw. The seafood platter had 2 pieces of fried haddock, 2 shrimps, 6 scallops, and a large portion of hand-cut fries. Haddock was tiny bit greasy but was expected with the batter. It was fairly lightly battered, which I appreciate, unlike other places that disappoint you with a thick batter disguising as fish meat. Scallops were my favourite. There were no condiments in the bag. It might be they forgot or I had to ask for them. Overall, I was glad to find a local family restaurant with good food. I'm planning to come back for a breakfast tomorrow. They have crazy hours: 9am-11pm! I hope the owners get to rest regularly."

"Ordered some pizza from here because my son wanted to try it (we’re always looking for good pizza). We were not disappointed. Really nice tasty, crispy crust with a good chew - not soggy and not a cracker. Sauce was very tasty and well-balanced. Good amount of cheese. The pepperoni was to die for - yummy and crisp on the edges, not greasy. Had another one a week later - same quality. I plan to try a number of things on their menu - can’t beat the prices. From other reviews I’ve read, I don’t think I’ll be disappointed."

"Good family restaurant with very sweet staff. Very good and fairly priced classic breakfast, made fresh to order, would definitely go back! Less than $10 gets you two eggs cooked beautifully, two big sausages, buttered toast, and homemade French fries with a coffee or tea included. Great value."

"This was an absolute perfect place for a quick fish and chips and milkshakes. It appears to be a family owned and operated restaurant. They are extremely friendly and the prices you cannot beat. Fish and chips*2 with milkshakes only $21.00. The food was delicious and plentiful. The service was fast and the portions were good. Would totally recommend this place to anyone looking for a good place for lunch. Excited to try and dinner here."

"Wow, this mom and pop shop is a must stop!! He made our pizza fresh when we arrived with real delicious homemade milk shakes. His wife also has a beautiful garden which all veggies served came from. Very fresh food and very generous with their portions. The prices also cannot be beat! I wish I was in the area longer so I could come back for another meal. Support local and keep businesses like these ones alive. It is very clear that this couple pours their heart and soul into their business."

The service, and atmosphere are as excellent as the food! You should definitely stop in!!! Also, it's good to know that they are cash only, so plan accordingly."
