Good food, huge portions and FANTASTIC service from the four different waitresses that have served us each time we have eaten at this restaurant. Simple meals (I enjoy the chicken pot pie myself) and a relaxed atmosphere make this a comfortable place to drop in, anytime, for a meal. Waitresses keep tabs on your meal progress but do not pester you. The final tab at the end of it all is quite easy on the wallet.
I find it hard to criticize anything about this restaurant other than the decor... but recent renovations have begun to address this it appears.
chicken pot pie is excellent roll and salad comes with it.Its usually so large that I never have room for deserts.My husband decided to burger and fries just he could have desert and it was so big he still couldn't order anything else. We have also ordered 1/4 chicken and ribs and they are just as good.would recommend if u have a good appetite
It's a funny thing that people in Peterborough keep recommending this place to their friends. I guess they don't get out much. If you like a diner or diner food, just like they used to make in 1965 then this is the place for you. If you want nothing fancy on cheap dishes then I recommend it. Please be clear when you advise someone to try this place. It's a DINER! It's so typical of the greasy spoon, except that it's in a parking lot beside a gas station off the highway, that you really ought not to be disappointed by the blandness of the food. Remember those really old school coffee cups that are low, thick and striped with a wide pale pink? Remember waitresses named Madge? It's cheap. It's fast - nothing on the menu that can't be whipped up quick or zapped from frozen. You get what you pay for. Lots of room to park your truck.
We heard people say that this restaurant was pretty good place, so we thought we would give a try...not sure if these people are stupid or their taste buds are dead. But this was the first & last time for us. We only had a hamburg and fries with coleslaw. The hamburg and buns were burnt, gives a whole new meaning to char-boil. The coleslaw is out of a bucket, the hamburgs were bigfoot patties (not impressed), fries of course are frozen. If there was no way of getting frozen packaged food, half the restaurants in Peterborough area would have to shut down. I would like to see cooks take a little pride in what they are putting infront of there PAYING customers
