Had lunch here today with my coworkers. We shared the baby pork ribs and each ordered our own burgers. read more Had lunch here today with my coworkers. We shared the baby pork ribs and each ordered our own burgers.

The portion size is huge, and they come with a generous side of chips. Be prepared to leave feeling completely satisfied.

It is a pretty small place to begin with, but we filled every available table, except for the one which was already in use when we got there.The server was all alone and advised us if we wanted to eat in any sort of reasonable time we should consider ordering the special (chicken cordon bleu) because if we all picked different options it would take forever for her to prepare all the meals -- yes, she was not only the server, she was also the cook.Most of our group ordered the special and found it to be quite good, likely better than we expected. It came with a good choice of sides and was priced well; I guess when you're only paying one staff member your overhead is quite low.She did a great job and got the group back on the road in a decent amount of time. We felt bad that she now was faced with the task of busing all the tables and doing all those dishes on her own.While we were there, a number of locals stopped by and were "chased" away by the size of our group. You know a place must be pretty good to survive in small towns like this because if the locals don't support you, you're out of business. Seeing the local population attempting to eat here is a good sign.Not sure when we'll be back in Avonlea, but we'll be sure to come here again.
