Home to the legendary Blueberry Hill Pancakes stack - We offer a fresh perspective on the classic neighbourhood eatery, throwing back to a simpler, more wholesome time when eating out was fun, approachable and most importantly, accessible. It brings patrons back to the mid-twentieth century – an era defined by a feel-good, optimistic mentality that influenced popular culture and food. Think Leave it to Beaver, Superbad, and Saved By The Bell came together in the most epic way possible.

    The noise level was off the charts. The food was fine. I didn’t enjoy the home fried potatoes at all. They could do better there. Our server was what made our dining experience great. Shout out to Don. You made our day.
