    I really, really wanted to love this place, but unfortunately I do not. It wasnt busy at all and it…read moretook a very long time to get two standard breakfasts. The home fries were extremely bland, the bacon that came on my plate was well undercooked, while it appeared everyone elses was nicely done. The coffee is too strong... But some folks like it that way. It was comfortable enough because they have a/c on hot days, a lot of small places dont offer cool air. The service was good, but thats about all the good I can offer for this place. I dont believe in second chances, but I may give it another go for a lunch or dinner, and will stick to my tried and true breakfast spot in the meantime.

    Shy-Ley's Kitchen is located in the LM Plaza in Durham. A small, cozy space, they currently offer…read morebreakfast and lunch, six days per week. We've tried several things at Shy-Ley's, and have never yet been disappointed. The Eggs Benedict are stellar - it's such a simple item, but it's so hard for many restaurants to get right. These were perfect, from the eggs to the sauce. The house special Tomato Basil soup is fabulous, and the Steak Sandwich is served on quality bread, cooked to your preference, and was a real stand out. I have eaten there with a notoriously picky diner, and even left with not just no complaints, but with praise for the food. This location has seen a selection of restaurants open and close, but we're hoping Shy-Ley's sticks around.

    That's one easily missed place for an amazing burger, out here in the pines of Ontario. Mount…read moreForest has a charming downtown with restaurants that stay active into the night, but not a lot of foot traffic. The Fox looked dark from the outside with no one on the patio, so I tried the door and saw, indeed, plenty of people within. I came, I ate, I conquered. The burger was done medium - as good as I can get in Canada - and just full of flavour. Great balance of toppings, a sandwich so mighty you can't get all ingredients in a single bite. The fries are toasty but soft, a nice natural taste. Most beers are your standard but there are a few Canadians on tap. I went for the Alexander Keith's but they said that was gone... replaced with Kawartha Lakes Red! Awesome. All at a nice price. Just a couple of downsides. I got a side of veggies with dip, but the bleu cheese tasted like citrus? I don't get it. I could and should have counted the veggies on my burger as enough. And the fries, you can use ketchup or vinegar at the table, but sauce costs extra. I didn't ask about mustard, I just ate fries. Finally, everything was great until karaoke started around 9 (may just be a machine they have for whoever puts in money whenever), but then my server somehow disappeared when I needed my check to come back and sleep. Burger and fries: 5 stars Ambiance: 4 stars. Besides karaoke, too many rooms to figure out. Service: 4 stars. Was 5 until the very end. Other foods: Not sure. I'm glad I chose what I did. So we'll put this at 4.

    Restaurant has overall nice look, but that's where it ends. Staff is more concerned about talking…read morewith themselves then doing their job. Only one bartender seem to be running her butt off while everybody else was standing around. The bathrooms are disgusting to say the least! How about cleaning the bathroom stall walls from time to time? The food is decent, but nothing special. Took almost 15 minutes to get the bill, which was 10 minutes longer than it should have been. We arrived about 5:30 on a Thursday afternoon, and the one end of the bar was just full of old drunk men. My God were they loud! Usually do not write reviews, but this place was recommended and was an absolute disappointment. Will never return!
