Its busy and packed with families, and we soon sat down to a simple hearty and cheap lunch! Most lunch items (like their dinner items) come with a soup or salad or fries. While we browsed the menu and debated if we wanted more brekkie or lunch items, I sipped on a hot chocolate (powdered) with a huge glob of whipped cream crowning it. We had an honest waitress, when asked if they had freshly squeezed juices, she laughed and told us they all came from a box. Well, at least we know :)
We ended up picking lunch items, and my soup was first to come out – soup of the day happened to be cream of broccoli. Nothing special, but was nice it came with my meal to warm up from the brisk weather.
I had eyed the Saratoga loaf for dinner the last time we were here, and I was really curious as to what it was. Was it a meatloaf, a Greek style moussaka (think vegetable lasagna or French ratatouille), or…? It turned out it was a baked sandwich, with a bunch of deli meats, cheese and tomato topped with a pickle.
Reminiscent of sandwiches you’d put together at home, the sesame bun was soft and toasty warm, with a good amount of melty cheese and assorted deli cold cuts in the centre.
The Reuben made a better showing, with warm sliced corned beef, a bit of melted Swiss cheese and a tinny bit of sauerkraut, with regular mustard on the side.
Could have used a bit more cheese and sauerkraut :p
the VERDICT
For the prices, simplicity of diner fare and friendly service, it met our expectations for a diner lunch. Dinner’s still a better deal wallet-wise, but one of there days, I’ll get up early.. .and try out their breakfasts.
