    We were craving a hearty breakfast, and stopped by the Westside Diner! Amazing service, multiple tables open (1pm on a Saturday) and delicious food.

    Wonderful brunch spot. Service was super friendly and the owners treat you like you've come home for a meal. Server was upbeat and incredibly enthusiastic. Food was amazing too, Canadian omelette was delicious. Place is clean and relaxed. We will definitely be coming back!

    Just tried this place for the first time. First of all great coffee and the food was really good. The amount of food was really good as well and both my wife and I had to have take out boxes. Our waitress was really sweet and seemed to really care about our experience which was awesome to see.

    The food was absolutely delicious! It came out fast, cooked through, hot and delicious. Big kudos to the chef who made our breakfast. My only complaint is the building itself is kind of dated. The upholstery and tables are old, and the bathrooms were questionable, the main concern being the latch on the men's room door is almost completely busted out. With a few renovations and a face lift this restaurant could easily be 10/10. That being said don't let the buildings condition deter you from eating here. The food is DELICIOUS.

    Manon!! I have been to the Westside a million times in my previous life, years ago and it was a night shift staple that we would finish a set on and enjoy a quiet and lovely breakfast. Things have changed but for the better! Our service was incredibly fast and friendly, coffee hot in my cup in a heartbeat and offers of fill ups every 5 minutes, which is a necessary evil for my breakfast. Food was literally 5 or 6 minutes on the table and cooked perfectly. Just went with the special and we both enjoyed it. Well done Manon your smile made my daughters day.

Our waitress was extremely friendly and super attentive, she made us feel right at home. The menu was a good size loaded with alot of tasty meals. Our food came out quickly and everything was perfectly cooked. We really enjoyed our time here.

    Food and service was amazing. The burgers (says homemade, but didn't seem like it) was cooked to perfection. All fresh toppings and the fries very tasty the service was very friendly and outgoing. She is definitely one of the reasons people keep going back. Thosbplace has an old diner look which is amazing.
