diners

Main Street

one of the city's few remaining diners, burgers and fries have been on the menu since 1961 at Helen's Grill, although souvlaki or roast lamb might be better 'Betts'

Oops I see the all day breakfast sign. My kind of place!

Hopefully breakfast all day! It looks like a great place and the corner seems to have a lot of energy with the posters and passerby. V

Nice to see a charming corner restaurant serving iconic comfort food....I'll be happy with the "All Day Breakfast"...V

I always prefer to avoid the "chain" outfits whenever possible. The COVID
has been particularly hard on the small businesses.

These old diners are great and usually serve up gigantic plates of yum-yum fast food.

Really like the play with Helen's name. And the restaurant looks interesting. It must be good if it's been around that long.

Amazing how they've kept going for so long with all the new competition.

Ha, very clever. It would be nice to sit down with Helen and Tim in there…maybe even King Edward would join us!

Great shot of this old iconic diner on hip Main St. I like the vibe of these old places when they serve good old meals like
meat loaf, beef dip and Salisbury steaks. V

Great street scene, sounds like an interesting place to eat.

I love these places, you guys in North America are so lucky to have them. I'm in for a chicken gyros with extra tzatziki please!!

Cool view of this survivor. If I ever visit, I will try the Halibut Burger.

The souvlaki and roast lamb would indeed be better Betts' bets, although burgers and fries definitely have their place in a Helen's diner.

LOL ! Not easy to keep an eye on the business from Washington... :) V.
