Poor service- empty coffee cups and waitress walked by 3 times while other tables got their coffee refilled. Had to get our own cutlery off other tables. Had to ask for items we ordered. Tried to take my plate while I was still eating and then never came back to table again. Had to ask other waitress for help Food was less than mediocre. Turkey full of gristle and fish over cooked Won't be back read more

My father and I attended the Galt View today for an early supper. Anyone from Cambridge already knows of the Galt View Restaurant (the one across the street from the hospital), but it's now under new ownership/management and while they were closed to renovations the past few months, not much has changed inside. This was the first I've been there since the changeover. It's a big restaurant and they have good food. Today we both had the banquet burger, and it was quite good. I wouldn't go so far as to say it was the best, but it was good. The menu is small, but it offers all the standard comfort food you'd expect from such a place. There were only two other parties dinning in the 40-plus table establishment, and as a result our server was attentive and the food was served quickly. I wonder how that might change if it were busy. I will say that our server was very cheerful and pleasant, which made it a nice experience. Then there was the mystery of the empty bowl. On our table was placed a small, white, ceramic bowl. It was the same as the bowl used to hold the sugar packets for coffee or tea, but this one was empty. I looked around and there was a small, white, empty bowl on every table. I was perplexed. I commented to my father that maybe it was a tip jar. He joked saying that it was empty, so maybe we should go elsewhere. As the meal wore on, I became increasingly worried about the meaning behind this empty bowl. Why was it there? Why a white bowl? Why not green, or brown, or whatever other colour is fashionable for bowls these days? What were we meant to do with it? Did it have a deeper existential meaning? Was it the owners symbolic commentary on the nature of the universe? A view thus imposed on the unsuspecting diner, most of whom would just think; "hey, an empty bowl." My head was spinning. I began to wonder if I was losing my mind. Imagine that, being brought to the brink of sanity (or is that insanity) by the presence of a small, empty, white, ceramic bowl. I again commented on the situation and my father insisted that it was there to hold creamers for those cups of coffee and tee, for which the sugar waited. I was dubious...it didn't make any sense. In the end, I declined to ask the waitress why there was an empty bowl on every table. I figured that the mystery had taken me places I hadn't dreamed possible, and whatever her answer, a mind cannot be un-blown, once it is blown. We gave her a good tip. read more

The food is very tasty. The restaurant has a nice country feel to it. I ordered meals for myself my wife and my mother and they enjoyed it. Prices are very resonable compared to other places around. A nice place to go to relax and have a good meal. . read more

good and fast service, cost friendly and good food. a bit on the oily side though if you get their classic. great for families especially during breakfast or brunch! a lot of older people were there during the time. read more

Went there this morning with my family for my birthday and I have to say that I was extremely disappointed and my experience was such that, not only will I never return, I will ensure that anyone I know doesn't either. Everything started ok until we got our meals and it all went down hill from there. The waitress must have been new because she really appeared to have no idea what she was doing. She forgot my side order of bacon and I had to ask her three times for a coffee refill. Anyway the fun really began when my sons girlfriend found a black hair in her food and pulled it out to show us. She then threw the hair on the ground. A few minutes later, my son finds a gray hair and does the same thing. And then a few minutes after that, my girlfriend starts crunching on egg shells! Eventually the waitress comes back and we tell her about the hair and she asks to see it. I said it's on the ground and she then said she can't do anything without proof. All of us had lost our appetites at that point and we asked to have out plates taken away, a couple of them were barely touched. We then got the bill and found we'd been charged full price. We thought this odd and questioned the waitress, she snatched the bill away from us and snapped at us saying "she'd" pay for it. This is where I lost it and went to speak to the manager. Of course, I shouldn't have been surprised to discover that her customer service skills were even worse than the waitress. Despite the rude service from the waitress, I still stood up for her and said she shouldn't be on the hook but the manager said that it was her problem because there was no proof and there were rule that needed to be followed. I guess I must have been lying about the hair to get a free meal. This is where I noticed the kitchen staff, two guys, one with black hair and one with gray hair; no hair nets. While this was happening, my girlfriend was speaking to another waitress who told her they wouldn't make the waitress pay for our meal (I should note that we're only talking about one of the meals at $5.49) they only said that to make a point, I guess it was to make us feel guilty. In any event, avoid this place like the plague. Horrible service, horrible management who have zero knowledge when it comes to customer service. And if you're brave enough to go and are unfortunate enough to find a hair in your food, leave it there for "proof". read more

New ownership, back to its original glory. Peameal supreme is fantastic. This is where our family goes for breakfast when we go out.
