    Can’t go wrong

    The food is aways good. Huge portions and amazing service. Homemade dressings are delicious. Weekday specials will always leave leftovers. Lineups get quite long but it’s worth the wait

    We stopped in for an early dinner and we were surprised that the place was pretty full. Our meals came relatively quickly. We enjoyed the fish and chips, the liver and bacon and the pork schnitzel dinner. Portions were large. Salads were really good. The...More

    Not Bad, Not Great

    Service was slow. The food was okay. I didn't really think the atmosphere was that great. It was busy when we went so it might have taken away from that. Perhaps it was the fly on the wall that kept hovering around us as well,...More

    A Good Enough Place for this kind of restaurant

    Had a solo meal here. The food quanitity was plentiful and certainly you wouldn't go hungry here. The quality is like most family restuarants. It'll do but it's clearly not made to order. It'll do but I try elsewhere before coming back.

    Excellent food. Two of us went there for breakfast. I order a crepe filled with berries and bananas, mouth watering. My husband ordered bacon, eggs, toast with hash browns and beans. He didn't want the hash browns and the cook gave him tomato slices instead....More

    Thanks for your question. Yes we do. We have 5 whites, 5 reds, and a rose all available by bottle or glass. It's a fairly decent selection for a family restaurant.
