Editorial Review

Locals drop by to fill up on straightforward and hearty breakfasts, deli sandwiches, burgers and steaks. Quick meals include the toasted club sandwich, western omelettes oozing cheese, massive burgers topped with cheddar and crispy bacon, and hot beef brisket with gravy. Hungry bellies on a budget gravitate to the hot dinner plates served with a choice of rice, spaghetti or basic mixed vegetables. Best bets are pork chops, crispy beer-battered fish and chips, or one of nine different grilled steaks.
