There is nothing like a decent "enroute diner". On my way to Collingwood for an early meeting, I just had to grab a breakfast on the way. At that time of the morning, the only thing open near Collingwood is at Blue Mountain. I was happy to see Charlie's Diner as I passed through Stayner.
Charlie's is your typical small town diner--locals sitting around sipping coffee and discussing everything. It's probably their daily routine. The place is new, clean with a very usual breakfast menu.
I ordered the standard breakfast special: eggs, bacon, toast and jam with coffee. My meal came out quick and hot and perfectly cooked. After a couple cups of coffee I was ready to hit the road.
