Our favorite breakfast place in Niagara. Privately owned diner straight from the 1960-70 s, clean as a whistle serving great food. Service is always Pronto and the prices are unbelievably low. Most expensive breakfast item is 4.50....3 eggs, bacon, American fries, toast and 2 pancakes. Can you believe it? If you want fruit, go elsewhere, if you want a hearty all American breakfast or lunch its worth it.....no touristy B/S here, mostly locals.

I am still sitting here finishing the coffee I had to wait 10 minutes to get refilled. The coffee isnt too bad. The food is just average, and took longer than average to get. When we did finally get our omelets it took a few bites to realize I got my sons and he got mine. The ceiling vents are completely disgusting and need cleaned. I know it currently has a really good rating (4.7 stars), but I for one would not return.

This place was great! Service was a little slow but our waitress was friendly and the food was amazing...... and cheap! I cant remember the last time I had breakfast for that low of a price. The neighborhood is a little sketchy and the restaurant is very outdated but that only adds to the charm. If I lived here, I would be here on the daily.

Food is great and cheap. Its a small diner and you might have to wait for a table or seat to open up but its WORTH IT. Cash only. My fiance and I skipped our complimentary breakfast at our hotel just to come to this place three mornings in a row. Well miss this little gem when we finish our vacation.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience eating here. Friendly staff with a homey, no frills, experience. We both ate for $7, and had to leave food behind. If youre cool with seating yourself, and enjoying a fantastic diner experience, dont leave Niagara without trying The Why Diner.

Walked in the door, waited a few minutes and none of the staff acknowledged us so we left. I could have reached out and touched two of the horrible waitresses they were so close. Cant tell you if the food sucked or not but the staff sure did. Dont go to this crappy hole!

It was very nice, the staff is pleasant. The only thing I didnt agree on is, they do not have a substitute for pork if you wanted breakfast. So you wouldnt be an to truly enjoy the stuff unless you were to order lunch and sometimes you dont want lunch for breakfast.

After 30 minutes still waiting for a western omelette and one coffee refill; I probably wont come back. Staff seems friendly and food is really cheap. But for a place thats not packed, one would think that the service would be a little bit more timely.

My favorite place to go when visiting my hometown. The staff is friendly and treat you like family. The food is the best breakfast Ive had. Its like Sunday morning at home. Great prices and like I said they always greet you with a smile

Loved the place. Had breakfast with my wife and tasted most of the menu. Food might reached our table in a slow-ish fashion, but other then that waitresses were nice and friendly and the food was tasty. Thumbs up!

You can get a whole breakfast with eggs, bacon or sausage, home fries and toast for $2.95. Coffee is free Mon thru Fri . There is usually a wait, but service is fast and worth the wait.

Easily the best breakfast option in the Niagara area. Cheap, scrumptious, friendly. Nothing really can compare to be honest.
