Great atmosphere and awesome people. I got a burger and a milkshake, but not just any ordinary milkshake, a Salty Jim bourbon milkshake. That changed the way I looked at ice cream and bourbon forever. I could drink that every day. For the burger, I...Read More

How I can tell a place is by their Eggs Benedict.So disappointed. Hashbrowns extremely oily. Poached eggs, yolk over cooked but egg white still slightly gelatinous somehow. Hollandaise, ummm tasted like mayo.For a place the food network has been to I couldn't justify paying $15...Read More

The poutine were pretty good, better than potato champion. The gravy wasn't quite right though. The cheese curds were broiled and done very well. We also had the chicken and waffle sliders. They were quite good, actually. We opted for syrup instead of the mustard...Read More

DO NOT BE FOOLED! This is NOT The Original Dinerant anymore. This is now a common, hotel restaurant with a basic hotel restaurant food menu. Very limited items and absolutely nothing worth making a trip for. The bartender was kind and prompt, but people typically...Read More

This place is the worst breakfast I have ever had and three guests who were along side me agree. You can get a better breakfast at IHOP or Denny's. We waited 45 minutes for a table. There were multiple tables open and somehow we still...Read More

Great spot for breakfast/brunch. I was staying at a hotel nearby and most of the other restaurants had limited and non-traditional menus, when I just wanted some of the oldies but goodies. The Original offers a variety of options from pancakes to chicken...Read More

The coffee was good and the service was decent, but I doubt I'll be back. I had the salmon Benedict, and it was generally okay, and they were generous with the smoked salmon. Still, it was nothing spectacular, and the spinach leaves we're completely black...Read More

Delicious food, cool staff and reeeeally good boozy shakes (they are strong, but are tasty enough for even those who don't enjoy alcoholic mixed drinks). Think it can't get better than that? Wrong! They also have an arcade. Fun for all ages! To be honest,...Read More
