You have to know what you're coming to Basell's for in order to appreciate it. There is nothing…read morefancy about this NF institution. It's a time capsule "greasy spoon" where you get a genuinely good and fresh breakfast, huge portions, for very cheap. Ask any local about Basell's and they'll tell you memories of coming here after the bars closed way back in the day, or just coming for breakfast when they were kids. You can feel the multiple decades of life when you walk in. I love that they've kept the charm and aren't the least bit interested in gentrifying themselves. When you wake up wanting a good diner for breakfast, I'd add Basell's to the list of viable options.

It took forever to get (tables who were seated after us got their food before us) and we didn't order anything complicated or unusual. The breakfast potatoes were the best part of my meal.

We had come here on a Monday morning during a long weekend; despite it being a holiday, almost…read moreevery table was filled with guests. We were seated after a few minutes at a table in the corner, which had enough room for the four of us. I had settled on the Triple D breakfast, while my husband had settled on the eggs benedict, and my kids the French toast bites and kids egg breakfast. Overall, the food was well-portioned, and cooked well. We could tell that the ingredients were fresh, and that the chef took his/her time to cook the meal, as the eggs were cooked completely through. Considering the prices that we had paid, we were stuffed, and didn't have to eat until later on in the evening. The food did take long though, and we had to wait in-line for a bit to pay for the bill. Service was good, as the waitress came to check on us a few times during our meal. Overall, a great place to start the day!

If you are within 30 mins of this place come eat here! This place is great! No lie! It's great!…read more This was about 10 mins from our hotel and decided to try cuz of the reviews. The menus online are wrong. Do t pay attention to those. We got in before the crowd. Food is all homemade and kind of inventive. Good combinations of flavors and fresh ingredients. Kathy and Mom got the deep dish pancake special with berry compote, pumpkin crumbles, and bacon. This was huge and amazing. I should have gotten that. I stole a bit or 2 and it was very good! Also get it with french toast and not a pancake. Wow! I got the grilled cheese BLT sandwich with potatoes. Very good! Fresh veggies and potatoes were really good. We tt the owner who is very nice and she answered questions and was very personable. Honestly if I lived here I'd eat here 1x a week. Super good. About 10 tables. Small. Cute with wall of crockery and the mismatched tables and chairs. Prices are around $15 for most things. Hiding in a small gas plaza. Good food, friendly people, homey type place. Eat here!!

We thought it was unique that there was a milkshake menu so we ordered the strawberry milkshake. It wasn't quite as large as I expected, but it was super thick and tasty so it was very satisfying. My partner ordered the big break. When the plates appeared in front of us it became clear that big was a very accurate way of describing it. The bacon strips were really big and the sausages were full of flavour! The pancakes were also amazing and another one of the highlights of the meal. I ordered rise of the planet of the eggs. I appreciated the effort put in to using so many puns on the menu! The hollandaise sauce was very flavourful and worked really well with the potatoes. I liked that there was just a moderate amount of cheese and bacon so it wasn't too overwhelming. Despite my best efforts I wasn't able to finish the plate so I was very impressed with the value I got for my money. We'd be happy to return here someday for a chance to try out even more items off the menu!

This place had popped up in my search numerous times, I thought it was about time. I went and…read morechecked it out. Luckily it was just a few minutes from my hotel. Pretty easy to find, the restaurant is located inside the strip mall, so there was plenty of parking available. The outside is a little deceptive, because the inside looks much more elegant. I was one of the first people in in the morning, so coffee was fresh and hot. This place was very reminiscent of a American Diner, and felt very much like home. The lady there went out of her way to make me feel right at home, as if I was having breakfast in someone's house. One thing you should make sure of, is either bring Canadian cash, American cash, or a Canadian debit card. They don't accept credit cards or American debit. The food was great, my eggs were perfectly. The French toast was on point, and the bacon was crispy. Bottom line? Next time I'm in town I will definitely try this place again for breakfast, and might check it out for lunch!

The four of us were seated quickly. We didn't like the locale of the table originally designated but they had no problem allowing a change to a more suitable table. Standard USA diner look and feel. Very welcoming, very friendly, busy and buzzing. Visiting from the States? This feels like home. Best part of the experience here was HILDA our server. Her performance was exemplary. Very polite, courteous, friendly, knowledgeable & attentive. I wish every server performed at her level. She could be a server at a high end establishment, for sure. Seemed to take pride in her work. Thanks, Hilda. I'll also mention that the manager/owner checked on our table as well. Which is always appropriate & appreciated. I usually get more detailed about the food but, honestly, this is pretty much standard diner style fare you can get at any good diner in the USA. Simple food, done well in a friend atmosphere. No bells and whistles, no fireworks. Just good home cooking. Service - 5 Food - solid 3 The 4 star rating is well deserved. If this place was in my hometown, we'd eat here often. Recommended! 4/5

First of all out of our 6 orders, they didn't have 3 of the meals we ordered. One of them they didn't tell us until probably 20 min after our order, it was a constant return to the table "oh we don't have this in the kitchen"... then they brought the wrong meal to my husband and then he had to wait another 20+ min for his food. A club sandwich! How ling does it take to assemble a sandwich!?! We were all done eating when he got the sandwich. My BLT had maybe 2 pieces of bacon on it. It was a huge let down. Honestly the interior wasn't even all that cool.

We took an Uber over from our hotel this Friday morning and took a seat at the direction of the waitress. I looked around and noticed that the restaurant was about 75% full but there was literally ONE waitress doing it all. We have a flight to catch this afternoon so we started getting worried that we wouldn't be able to eat. After 25 minutes, we decided to get up and Uber back to our hotel and get IHOP. There was another party who came in after us and were never seated (and they also left). In the waitress' defense, she was completely overwhelmed and should have had at least 1 more waiter/waitress helping her. She was doing the best she could but she's only one person with 2 hands! I hope the owner sees this review.
