I won't go back! I have said this 4 times now ... in the last 4 years that I moved to this area I have gone and said "I won't go back". The thing is the food is ok/good, like the food you would make for lunch at your house. Homemade split pea soup...brown bread (not homemade bread but still fresh bread) sammies like tuna salad (like I said - like the ones you'd make at home).BUT - big BUT here...the service and the attitude of the Phil/Fil the owner is so BAD that each time I have gone there I think how can someone so rude still be in business? Its not like the food is outrageously good! I tired a few times (lunch on the weekend during a kitched renovation) but out of the 4 or 5 times I have been there I think to myself - the attitude is not worth it. I would just go somewhere else...I tried this weekend again and not to my surprise Phil/Fil the owner didn't even turn around and acknowledge me and my daughter at the counter for a good 10 mins! by this time - i knew she had seen me...I took a juice from the cooler and sat my daughter down and went back up to counter to order (the place was full - every table occupied all 5 of them). when she yelled out that the table next to ours order was ready (the atmosphere was tense - everyone looked like they were in trouble - like the soup nazi)...she said to them here is your wrap and sandwich and there is only enough soup for half an order. (the client took his food and slinked away...no apology from her (Phil/Fil) and then it was my turn...I just said, I want to pay for my juice, put a twoonie on the counter - grabbed my daughter and ran for the next Works for a burger and some half decent service, a smile or even a sideways glace. My husband and his work collegues frequent the place and I am insisting he not return out of principle! or else. I can see if the place is busy or if you are running out of food at 12;30 on saturday you might be stressed but why each time that I go I feel unwelcomed and that she is just peeved to be there! get another job then. We will not be going back EVAH!
