Nice relaxed diner after walking up and down the shopping strip of Kits. My poutine was a hearty portion and the gravy wasn't overly salty - just the right amount of taste. The pesto mac 'n cheese was small portioned but heavy. I liked that the owner(?) (he looked like the boss) came over to check on us. Added a personal touch to the dining experience.
A group of co-workers and I treat each other for lunch every Thursday and this is the place I like 9/10 times.
The food is really solid breakfast or lunch - I normally go for a Benny in the morning and always get the falafel burger at lunch. Their avocado and goat cheese sandwich is also a winner. Also, I'm a vegetarian but my friends swear by the chicken in this joint.
The only downside to the place is that during lunch they're usually understaffed and the food takes a while to come out of the kitchen but it's worth the wait!
I visited their Kits location today. The place was mostly empty when I arrived at around 1:00 pm on a Wednesday, and I was seated quickly. I ordered their Carolina Pulled Pork & Pancakes, Giant version, which came with pulled pork, three eggs, and two pancakes (their small version came with 2 eggs and 1 pancake). The food was fine (details below) - the standout for me was the pulled pork, and the portion was big enough to satisfy me (I have a MASSIVE appetite). The service was efficient and friendly, and I do like their relaxed and casual atmosphere. Overall, I had a pretty good experience at this diner, and I do hope to sample more from their menu in the future.
Carolina Pulled Pork Pancakes (Giant, $15):
3.5/5
This came with two pancakes, pulled pork, and three eggs, which I asked to have fried. I didn't really care much for the eggs - they were a bit rubbery and don't appear to be at all seasoned. I was initially a bit disappointed by the pancakes as they seemed to be quite flat and thin. Fortunately, they did taste better than they look, and did not have any off flavour or bitterness from baking soda. I did find the texture to be a bit too chewy for my liking however, bordering on rubbery. The pulled pork was definitely the standout for me: it was tender and juicy, and coated in a delicious sweet and slightly spicy bbq sauce. Unfortunately, there just wasn't enough of the pork present. Portion wise, the giant version was perfect for me - it satisfied my enormous appetite without leaving me in a complete food coma.
