  Friendly staff, tired decor. It does not look like the decor has changed for a few decades.The food was fairly decent. There were three of us for dinner, including SWMBO and one of our sons. He went for a relatively simple Chicken Fingers and Fries. The chicken fingers were fairly standard, and the fries were very nicely done. SWMBO had the Beef Stir Fry, again fairly standard, with lots of fresh vegetables. I chose the Uncle Joe’s Burger, which was nicely done. The burger was not overdone, a common issue at many places. The crispy bacon, freshly sauteed mushrooms, good melted cheese combined for nice texture and flavour from the first bite to the last.

  Im not writing this on my latest visit. The latest visit was terrible but other visits were OK.This restaurant is located on main Street Markham, not unionville. There’s on street parking on both sides of the street but there’s also plenty of parking behind the building. This is a place we’ve come to every year before the Markham Santa clause parade, have been for almost 8 years. We normally get burgers and fries, kids have a pretty standard kids menu. Prices are great, food good, comes quick. It’s a great combination. Decor is dated in the main part of the restaurant, but its fine. Last time we came was Saturday just before lunch. Decided to take advantage of the all day breakfast.We chose the eggs Benedict. NEVER GET THE EGGS BENEDICT. It was really terrible, mushy, cold, the hollandaise sauce was not like ant I had before. We had to scrape it off and even then it was terrible. I would feel terrible not warning others!! whatlynnate.wordpress.com

  Had the rack of lamb, price is fair for quality and volume. Decor is a little outdated. Great area to walk around after lunch or dinner too.RM

  Mom and pop diner with great burgers! Homemade beef patties cooked on a flat top so you get those crispy edges and classic onion rings. Prices are great and portions are big considering the prices – old fashioned greasy spoon diner. There fish and chips are also popular! Haven’t tried them or dinner but I’m sure we will ay some point.

  Bad Service. We went the other night for the first time in a while. The staff are very friendly and in spite of my review below, the food is good for the most part, with generous portions. Spouse ordered a hamburger and subsituted salad for the fries. The salad came first as opposed to together with the burger. A small quibble, not big deal. Then my main course came. But not my soup, which I therefore arranged to take home. My daughter ordered fettucine alfredo which was more of a creamy pesto sauce and not at all what she was expecting. My son ordered nachos and although we specifically requested no onions or peppers, this request was not honoured. I will probably be back at least one more time because I like the idea of a neighbourhood diner but really, this whole visit was disappointing as the waitress did pretty much nothing to ensure our meal was a good one.

  Steak-tacular!. Awesome price for an excellent NY steak, with tasty side veggies and mashed taters, plus a lovely helping of gravy (of course i ask for an extra gravy boat). Hubby and I call ahead to make sure my 16 oz. has a nice thick side of fat, that’s grilled to heavenly goodness (my heart stops beating…now it ok).Mandy the head waiter is and awesome host as well!

  Good. Love their fries but it feels awkward in the restaurant when your a teenager.
