Customer Review Summary
Burgers come up most often, with one reviewer calling a huge burger filling and another praising a cheeseburger with onions. Bacon rolls follow close behind, described as toasted rolls with thick bacon and plenty of it, and one reviewer says the eggs and bacon rolls were so good. Reviewers also mention fresh cooked breakfasts, good tea and coffee, generous portions and good tunes, and they describe an unpretentious, family run, traditional cafe. One returning customer recalls the booths from the 1970s. The food does not win everyone over. One reviewer found the burgers awful and left most of them uneaten, and also described grumpy service and a cafe in need of renovation. Another gave the toilets a thumbs down, and one notes the outside is not much to look at. Still, most describe friendly, fast service, and one regular says staff remembered their order the moment they walked in.
