Local diner near Algonquin park, seems to be a local favourite!
I stopped by for dinner after my hike at Algonquin park. While I was eating here I noticed that there were a lot of people who came in, some came for dine in service and some came for takeout. The staff at the diner knew at least 90% of the people coming in by name. One of the regulars even brought his friend to checkout the place. So it seems like this diner is quite frequented by the locals in the area.
When we walked in, we were quickly greeted by James, he was very friendly and full of energy. He was quick to take our order and check on us when we needed something, service was wonderful.
We ordered the Porterville Pizza and wings with fries, added a side of gravy and finished off with a butter tart for dessert. The pizza was nice and crispy and topped with lots of fresh toppings, probably one of the best pizzas I ever had! The wings and fries with gravy was delicious as well. The warm butter tart for dessert was a great finishing touch to the meal. Chef Jamie did a great job with everything that came out of that kitchen, no wonder this place is so popular amongst the locals.
The ambiance of the diner is exactly as pictured, small local diner vibes, very warm and welcoming.

The kids got the barley soup, a chicken burger, and shared some nachos. Everything was perfect. I wouldn't have changed anything if I had to. If you're in the area or taking a trip to Algonquin park, do yourself a favor and pop...

The salads were horrible and if your going to charge premium prices. Use premium products. Rene’s would be preferable if paying 1500 for a salad considering I could buy all that for one salad and make 8. For never being open …...
