This was THE BEST diner that we have ever eaten at! Chef Darrell even came out to take my daughter’s order himself AND this belt was fantastic & the fries were magnificent! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had a delicious lunch of meatloaf with mashed potatoes ~ best we've ever tasted! Very good fish & chips too! The tartar sauce had lots of flavour.
