I'm talking about the cafe here. (The hotel has been around for a long time. Refurbished, a great…read moreold building, with lots of historic atmosphere and photos. Love the place.)
Anyway, the cafe.
When you go somewhere at meal time and it's crowded with happy eaters, you're at the right spot!
A varied, extensive menu with some nice surprises, ie, Huevos Rancheros
Have been there for lunches mostly, and every time have come away more than satisfied, with the good service, and the food.
Today, a Caesar Salad, with wonderful home made dressing, and croutons. My wife had a burger and fries, more burger and fixings than bun, and the fries were the best you could ask for.
Busy place at noon, but there was no long wait time, I think the servers are the fastest most efficient I've ever seen.
Under new management now, I'm told, but it's still one of downtown Chilliwack's best eateries.
A nice touch, keeping up with the old atmosphere, the water glasses are small preserve jars with straws. Another unusual touch, no table napkins, instead, rolls of paper towels on special holders are provided. Inventive and serviceable. How often have you had to wipe your hands or clean a child's face with something the size of a tissue.
Give this place a try.
I'll be back.
I've been back several times since my original review. I'm still impressed and enjoy every visit. Food, service, price: all of it remains worth the stars!
I'll add one thing further, THEY HAVE THE BEST FRENCH FRIES IN TOWN.! Hands down. Most fries have a soggy, interior. Too thick, and just not crispy. Not here.
Visit this place, it's "down home."
