On a Saturday morning at about 11:30 am, the place was hopping. From the crowded parking lot, it…read morelooked like it was going to be a long wait. We found a parking spot, stood in line for 5-10 minutes, and were seated to a clean table. The turnover here is quick. It's a one room, one floor, cream building with not much fanfare- at the corner of Harrison Ave. it seats about 70 people. The waitresses were busy but patient and kind. The kitchen window is constantly busy with orders clipped to an old style spinner and taken in order. Cookies to go are available 2/$3.00. A dessert menu is handwritten and lit up on the wall. No soup available on the weekends, but plenty of home style breakfast and lunch options. We each ordered the western omelet with a choice of white, rye and wheat bread. It was a long wait- 45 minutes- but definitely came at a peak time. The food was delicious and enough for 3 meals.

Cute little cafe style eatery. Everything looked good. I ordered the Chi-Body Burger and my husband…read moreordered the 513. Servers were nice and the cooks were pushing out food and working hard. The portions here are huge! I love it. The burger was good - lots of ham and bacon. I really liked how the ham was cooked on the griddle before being added to the burger. Next time I would definitely try the Smelvin breakfast.

The bun was able to hold all this deliciousness together without splitting. It was juicy and perfectly balanced. I also tried the Hot Chili Cheese. It was spicy but not burn your mouth; packed with flavor and topped with a glorious cloud of billowy cheese. Great customer service in a quirky little neighborhood. They even have tables to eat at if you inclined. Great prices!

Lol Ambiance was old strip mall dining. Funny signs throughout. Plenty of seating. I hadn't eaten yet so I ordered breakfast even though it was lunchtime. Thin slice Ribeye steak with 2 eggs over medium, potatoes and my favorite-rye bread. Hubby got a cheeseburger and fries. Someone else wanted to try their chicken and waffles. Let me just say, I was pleasantly surprised at how good my food was. My eggs were perfect, the steak was very flavorful, hubby said his burger was delicious. Our friends daughters are picky eaters and they loved their burgers with Grippo's chips. And the chicken and waffles was a hit as well. I would go back. There's something to be said for places that have been around forever that locals frequent. The only thing I would say is that it was kinda smokey from the grills. Would be nice if they had better ventilation for cooking smoke. Don't wear your good clothes cuz you'll smell like a diner! Lol

The poutine is huge and you can't get that and a meal. I have tried. Several times. It's a hot dog OR poutine. Not both.
