Celebrating our 25th counter!!! And this one turned out to be the best we've visited. We learned about the Diner on 55th by accident, when we drove past St. Clair & 55th after breakfast at Slyman's earlier in the year. This place looks like a classic diner -- lots of chrome inside and out.
It was pretty crowded, being late morning on Saturday, but the counter was almost empty. Service was fast, attentive and very friendly from beginning to end. A guy who we presumed to be the owner walked around chatting with everyone and offered to take our picture. The counter was spacious and open to the kitchen where two cooks were working. All around a really nice, classic diner atmosphere.
The food was also outstanding. Cam did chicken and fries, which he felt were excellent. Ted had his usual breakfast and everything was cooked perfectly -- potatoes crisp, toast not overly buttered, eggs soft. Only drawback on the meal was that the coffee was just average at best -- definite room for improvement.
We highly recommend going here -- great counter, and service, food, atmosphere all excellent. Perfect counter for our 25th.
