The lunch special one day was the Beef Melt with soup for $10.99. This included a large bowl of very passable diner-style soup (I think it was tomato macaroni, from what I remember).
The beef turned out to be tasty chopped steak with cheese (Provolone?) on a high quality ciabatta-style bun. The fries were generous and hot, and there was a lovely little cup of gravy on the plate. Great lunch!

My wife and I dropped in for a weekday breakfast and it was excellent as always. Seriously the best diner-style breakfast sausage in town and the eggs are done to perfection.
They recently underwent a makeover via Ottawa's now-famous Shannon Smithers-Gay of One80 Design. Her characteristic look of wood and warm lighting are present here, and the new bar looks quite inviting. A greater number of booths, with some removable dividers for flexibility, enhance the utility and comfort of the table area.

I was here for a breakfast with a group this morning. Bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, toast and coffee came out to $8.00 with tax (before tip). Service was good for our group, and the food was top notch. The standout for me were the hashbrowns. Homemade, fresh and piping hot on the plate. Super tasty.

The two-egg breakfast is still an excellent choice here. This is the best value (quality/price) breakfast I know of in the Kanata/Stittsville area.
It's hard to choose between the crispy bacon and the fat little sausages. Sometimes I get both.
Pictured is my 2-egg over-easy with sausages and rye. $6.99. Bottomless coffee included.

I tried Kal's standard breakfast this morning. $6.50 gets you:
* Coffee/tea
* 2 Eggs
* Bacon OR sausage OR ham
* Homefries
* Toast
My choices were:
* Coffee - standard diner fare, large mug, refill offered
* Eggs over easy. Nicely done.
* Bacon, asked for crispy. Got the *crispiest* bacon I've ever encountered. Not burnt, just awesomely crispy.
* Homefries were authentic home-style, not deep fried.
* I opted for brown toast and it was toasted and buttered perfectly.
All in all a great find and my current choice for Kanata/Stittsville area breakfast!
P.S. Thursday mornings, they are closed for a private function until 8:30am. I waited outside for 10 minutes for the function to end, but things were incredibly fast after that:
8:32 - I entered the restaurant and was seated. Was given a menu and asked about coffee.
8:33 - Coffee arrived and I ordered my breakfast.
8:38 - My plate arrived. (!)
8:52 - I paid (at the cash as instructed) and left.

While prices of lunch and dinner items at this better-than-average diner have recently jumped dangerously into the "bistro fare" range, the pizza remains good value.
My Small Canadian pizza for $10.95 was both delicious and filling. Well-balanced cheese and sauce, with generous bacon, pepperoni, and mushrooms, made for a tasty lunch indeed. The crust is on the thick side and is better than most delivery options.
