The Special comes in several forms, depending on your meat preference. Ham, bacon, sausage or kielbasa is available, or for those feeling brave (as I was), the giant breakfast has ham, bacon, sausage AND kielbasa, with three eggs.

This is a formidable plate that is not for the weak of palate. It’s a couple of bucks more, but you’ll not need to eat meat for the next week. On the normal special is a veritable firewood stack of bacon.

The eggs shared an interesting topography, suggesting that they were basted. The potatoes were fantastic. Spiced and pan fried, they have an interesting orange tinge to them which is not unpleasant. A couple breakfasters commented that by the time they were near the end of their potatoes, the saltiness was getting to be a bit much. I feel this is indicative of the generous portion size, not a condemnation of the flavour. However, the orange tinge was probably seasoning salt so it’s understandable if it got to be too much. The rye toast was as rye toast is.

Rye-y. (Rye Yee) 

Sadly, one of the most prominently featured catch-phrases in the restaurant was misspelled: “The Quadrupple bypass burger,” extra ‘p’ no charge, I assume.

As we left we were given a salutation by a sign near the door “Thank-you! And remember to keep your sunny side up!”

A delightful place to eat with tons of neat stuff to look at on the walls. The location is a little further north than most pedestrians venture, but otherwise is fantastic.

This place is as charming as Casanova with a pocket full of condoms. In other words, sort of charming and sort of creepy. Really! Who carries around a pocket full of condoms?

The yellow & blue motif is striking but not offensive. The walls are covered in old Norman Rockwell-esque Coke-a-Cola ads and menu listings. There’s even a Ham-N-Eggs t-shirt hanging that is for sale. The grated wooden fence above the ordering window gives the impression of it being outside. For a moment I imagined I was at the beach, ordering food from an outdoor vendor. Given that at the time, the winter wind was fairly violent, this was a welcome delusion. The place seems fairly tiny, but it can stuff in a good amount of customers.
