At any Salisbury House
Hours: Some are open 24 hours, others have limited hours.
You can’t go wrong with the Mr. Big Nip and Chips. Trust me on this. It’s one of the best burgers in North America. Eat at the counter or at a table.
And, for those of you who can’t exist without that staple known as Canadian bacon – whatever that is – you can have it with the breakfast special.
Update July 2010: I had the Sweet Potato Fries. They were excellent! The Mr. Big Nip was pretty good too.
Update July 2008: Since my last visit to a Salisbury House in July of 2007, I’m not certain that these places are maintaining their quality. The chef turned out a burger pattie that was pink on the inside. When I pointed it out to the waitress, she shrugged and said that there would be no charge for the burger or the drink. No offer to have a fresh pattie, nada.
What kind of a way is that to run a restaurant?
Needless to say, I rode off without waving.
