Came here straight from the airport (to do some work in town; 1st time visitor to BC), and quickly scanned Google Maps for all-day breakfast restos and settled on this one. Absolutely no regrets. The place was packed, but since I was by myself, I got a seat at the bar in 5 minutes. I ordered the BBQ pulled pork pancakes (see photo) upon recommendation from one of the servers. Coming from the GTA, I was 3 hours behind my lunch time so was starving! The meal did not disappoint. Had a nice chat with a lovely local couple who sat beside me (they drive 45 minutes regularly to eat here). Finished my meal with a nice latte. Fantastic food surpassed only by an amazingly helpful and friendly staff. An absolute must-try if you're ever in Sidney (or even Victoria for that matter!)

Loved this little retro diner. They accommodated our party of 8 with no reservation and the server was absolutely amazing! They are well organized, lactose intolerant friendly and had really amazing food. I tried the beef dip with mushrooms and had their breakfast potatoes on the side, the rest of the party really enjoyed the variety of bennies and especially the butternut squash soup. The double bubble at the end was a nice nostalgic touch.

A local gem! Cute and kitschy with a real retro feel. Being Paleo (no grains) we had the pulled pork omlette with a side of fruit - light, fluffy and delicious! We watched many piled high plates that looked incredible (Mexican benne, stuffed waffles, huge sandwiches). Despite it being packed, service was fast and friendly. Highly recommended!
