Went for brunch and was pleasantly surprised by Wallace and Co. It’s a bit cramped inside but this is a genuine old school greasy spoon I did not regret eating at. The prices weren’t bad and servings very good. I had the breakfast sandwich was delicious! Also the server was much more attentive with coffee refills than other places I’ve been. Just remember to bring cash.

Put on your thick rimmed glasses, get your beanie out and wear the tightest jeans you have in your closet because this is a hipster diner defined. This is not a bad thing, the place looks like a vintage diner from the 70’s and I dig the vibe they are dishing out. As uncomfortable as the seats are, they make me feel like I’m a character straight out of a comic book so I’ll take the pain to look cool. The servers are pretty happy to help explain everything on their menu and there is usually just one chef slaving away behind the bar. Make sure you come early to grab your seats at lunch, because the place fills up quick! I ordered the Wallace Salted beef — steamed pickled cabbage, thousand island dressing, gruyère, rye with a side of onion rings and a milk shake. Can I say one thing about that milk shake… it’s probably one of the thickest milk shakes I’ve ever had. I was worried I would suck up the straw and choke on it, that thing was so solid! Not a bad thing though, it was great. The sandwich was great as well, greasy as hell, but I ate up every bite. I could feel my arteries slowly clogging as I finished the last bite, but it was worth it! Overall, I really feel the vibe and the food is great here. A nice local gem in the heart of nothing much else around the Lansdowne area, with delicious hearty food. Just make sure to have a salad or something for dinner later!

This place is ok. They’re cash only and it’s around $ 18 for juice and an entrée. I had their corn beef hash. It was a little overcooked because the beef tasted dry and the egg in the middle was too. I’m sure it would be delicious when done right and i would definitely return when the weather gets better for Sunday brunch.

Horrible experience overall, waitress was rude and inattentive. One of the many examples is when I asked her the options for drinks(was feeling for a latte or cappuccino) she said only tea or coffee. When she brought tea that I ordered I noticed a chalk board with all the drinks posted which of course included lattes and cappuccinos. I told her that when I asked her she didn’t mention these other options she just shrugged — and didn’t offer to send back my tea for a cappuccino. I proceeded to then order the cappuccino because that is what I originally wanted and thought I will just pay for the tea anyways since she didn’t offer to take it back. My food was over cooked and not very good. Will never go back again which is a shame because it is a 2 min walk from my house and was looking for a close breakfast/brunch spot
