The Breakfast Barn Diner — Restaurant in Port Colborne

If the food wasn’t as good as it was, it would have been a 2 or 3 rating. The service was terribly slow. We weren’t even acknowledged when we walked in.

If I hadn’t ordered an orange juice that I had to pay for, we would have left without ordering our breakfast because we were waiting so long for the waitress who seemed to be doing nothing. And when she was doing something she was extremely annoyed to be doing it.

The waitress stood at the kitchen window ignoring the people in the restaurant the entire time we were there. We are pretty patient people when we go out to eat, so if we were annoyed I can’t imagine how others felt.

The waitress claimed there was a really big order she was dealing with (there was no big group of people there) and the kitchen had messed up some orders so she was also dealing with that. Even if that’s the case, don’t throw your coworkers under the bus.

• five stars for the food tho. The bacon and ham were so good and the home fries were amazing. Decent price and quantity of food.

Note - they are cash only but do have a cash machine in...

Normally I like to support family run businesses, unfortunately the experience and service was not what we were expecting for the breakfast barn.

The service took longer than we hoped but the place was busy so it was expected as there were only 2 servers.

The low rating is completely based on the fact that the biggest disappointment came to the food. Even though the portion was large, the quality of the food was low. Worst was that when the food arrive, not only did it not taste good, it was served cold. Ultimately, the server failed to ask how our meal was, so did not get a chance to provide our feedback.

Given the amount of great locations to eat in the area, I do not recommend choosing the breakfast barn. Please note that this is a cash only location, with an ATM...

This is a local favourite so I thought I would try it out. Food was average for bacon and eggs. I asked for rye, no butter, got brown, buttered. No biggie. It was the service that bothered me. I am not sure if it because we weren’t regulars, but we were waved to a table when we came in, it took some time to drinks, questions were answered with ‘ya’. We had 2 people serving us, neither smiled, or provided more than a one-word answer. It wasn’t an inviting atmosphere in my opinion. The reason for the 3 star for atmosphere- cute place, fits the barn decor but the cowbell on the door was loud every time someone went in and out. This may not bother some people, but for those with any audio sensitivity, or prefer conversation during breakfast, don’t sit...
