A large order is about $4 or so. We top them with fresh cut onions, ketchup and black pepper. Very tasty and filling. Their toasted Western sandwich is good, too. Owners are friendly and accept phone orders, once they know you. Good wholesome food! Conveniently located right on Keele Street, just north of Wilson, on the east side. Worth a visit.

It feels like a trip down memory lane, and it's a great spot for an early breakfast as they open at 6am.

The dishes had a homemade feel and were clearly prepared with care. The restaurant has a strong base of loyal customers, which is impressive for a small establishment like this. We will definitely be coming back.
