Kate's Station — Restaurant in Huron East

My husband and I stopped in this restaurant yesterday. We used to go there years ago and it was fine. Yesterday we went to sit at a table and there was ants on several tables by the windows. We then noticed ant traps as well. Not a very welcoming start. We then started looking over the menu and the prices were outrageous. Liver and onions 26.95 are you kidding me. In the lighter menu it was still 23.95. When we started looking at other food it was all very high and then you had to pay an extra 4.95 for fries and coleslaw. This is a long established diner and i get prices have crept up over the years but you have to take into where you are. We have eaten at countless restaurants all over Ontario and beyond and this place by far way over priced and to be seeing ants as you eat. I suspect the fries are frozen and the coleslaw is from a bucket so …… we ended up walking out. I will say the brief encounter we had with the server was pleasant.

My family and I used to frequent Kates. In fact for my birthday brunch thats where we used to go. There is one older waitress there you guys could do without. I literally stay clear of this place because of her. Also they never change the grease in the fryer. I had one really bad experience with her speaking to me and my daughter disrespectfully.

For a place that isnt always busy you rushed us through quickly. I did say something to this waitress about how she was speaking to my child, to which she decided to get the surrounding table occupants involved. It was so uncomfortable for every one so we went to Renegades. Thats now my brunch spot. I love that you hire the local highschool students, they're fantastic and are getting real...

Wow... are you kidding!?! $18 for 2 eggs and bacon breakfast?? $22 for an omelette?? And the dinner prices are insane! $26 for pork chops!!!! Kids Hamburger meal $15?!

Listen, we've eaten at Diner type restaurants all over the world... and some pretty fancy upscale restaurants serving new age food and I've never seen these prices anywhere!!

Absolutely insane. All I can say is it must be nice to have no competition for miles and regular farmer clientele. Whoever is eating here obviously doesn't care about value, or their hard earned money.

We looked at the menu and ordered a side of fries. Service was great, thank you 🙏 and the fries weren't even fresh cut fries.. frozen... 🤦‍♂️you should be ashamed of yourself ....
