FAQs
Do you offer an ALL-DAY Brekkie?
A: We are only open ‘til 1pm; so is that really all-day? We offer a 2 egg brekkie called ‘The Plain Jane’ and much, much more. Check out our menu tab for deets.
Do you take reservations?
A: No. We operate on a first-come basis.
Do you put tables together?
A: We do not push tables together as they are old and different shapes and sizes. The biggest table we have seats 4 peeps comfortably. If you are traveling with more than 4 in your party, you will most likely be sat at 2 different tables and not necessarily together.
What is the best time to come to avoid the line up?
A: Um, let me check my crystal ball. Joking. Typically, weekdays are your best bet as Sat and Sun are our busiest days and we often have a crowd. If you can only join us on the weekend, we suggest coming when we first open to avoid the line up.
How long have you been open?
A: We opened our doors in Feb 2015.
How long have you been collecting Pyrex?
A: The collection has been in the works since summer 2014 and NO, it is not for sale.
(Unless…see below!)
pyrex is expensive! Your collection must be worth millions?!?
A: Sure. Know any millionaires?
Where did you find all your formica tables and chrome chairs?
A: The initial hunt started online and it basically grew from there. Fortunately now, we are able to buy many of our items locally.
Are you open every day?
A: We are closed both Mon and Tues and open ‘til 1pm Wed-Sun. We are closed most holidays as they typically fall on a Mon. If our hours are different than usual we will post on this site and our social feeds. Also note, we take a semi-annual break typically every February and September where the diner is closed completely.
Where are you located?
A: We are on the corner of Welland Ave and Grantham right beside the Avondale (behind the Pioneer gas station).
Do you have rye/gluten-free bread?
A: No. We make our own white or brown in-house and it is not gluten-free. (You should sell it…we do!)
DO YOU OFFER GIFT CARDS?
A: Yes! We have physical gift cards which must be purchased and picked up from the diner.
How do you deep-fry an egg?
