It was a relatively cold day when we took a drive down to Whistler and stumbled into Southside Diner for lunch. It was a nice cosy place and a great place to chill out.
The Reuben sandwich was really quite satisfying and there was a generous serving of the smoked meat. I ordered my sandwich with a salad - the salad dressing was pretty ordinary. But the meat was oh, so good.

The housemade beef burger was pretty ordinary - the portions for the fries were pretty generous as well.

The deco in the place was simple but it had this cabin feel to it. Gator totally approves!
The menu was pretty hilarious - check out the section on the Rules of the House- including the cartoon God Knows When You Don't Tip.

Deco: 3.5/5 - nice and cosy
Quality of food: 3/5 - generous serving but the food was average
Value for $$: $$/5 - I find 12 bucks for a sandwich and 12 bucks for a burger (without tax) pricey. Guess that's because we are at Whistler.
Overall Experience: 3/5 - food was average but the service was warm and friendly.
I know I have been so late with updates. More soon...
I like the photography :) And some of the diners these days are just so-so!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the compliment. I hope to do better in food photography. BTW, I like the recipes in your blog :)
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to find good diners these days indeed. I think people have an expectation of fast service in any restaurant now, which makes preparing good diner fare a bit difficult. What do you think is the best way to prepare sausages for a diner?
ReplyDeleteI like grilled sausages with grill marks on it. With tomatoes on the side please :) Yummy..
