The food at Garfield's is homemade, fresh and very good. We enjoyed a really nice lunch one afternoon in the off season. This is a place that is super busy in the warmer weather with its convenient location on County Road 50 near Colchester beach.

The Deluxe Restaurant is the best diner in Essex County. The eggs benedict are the best around hands down. This place has been a town icon for decades. Ryan the chef/ownwr has dinners on a Friday evening every few months featuring prime rib or another great meal. They sell out everytime. Staff are amazing. Bonnie has worked there for more than 30 years! She knows every single person who walks through the doors and greets everyone with a friendly hello. Essex wouldn't be the same without the Deluxe.

Enjoyed the 4 pcs broasted chicken dinner. We liked that we had the option of choosing our favourite pieces, all dark meat. The food was good and restaurant was nicely decorated, featuring posters from the 60's and 70's. Our server was very friendly and she kept our coffee and pop glasses filled. Overall, a pleasant experience.

First off you got five stars outta me for the nostalgia factor, for the experience of it all. Diner breakfast isnât supposed to be fancy, the coffee doesnât need any notes of hazelnut or any other pretentiousness. The coffee is watery and slightly caremelized and bitter because youâre supposed to drink 4-6 cups of it, the bacon and eggs has that grease because you need that FIX. Youâre in a diner, stare at the old Elvis clock and Coca Cola logo glazed on the decorative mirror and keep your mouth shut so you can eavesdrop on the construction workers and other stoic old men, youâll hear the weather forecast. And you better nod at them if you do happen to make eye contact, so donât be a jerk. Itâs CASH ONLY, you hipster donât mess this up. Youâll notice, youâre the only one staring at a phone, so put it away and enjoy the comfortable silence only old diners now have. The morning never seems to end, time goes by slower and you can read the paper for an hour after you have eaten and you wonât feel like a loiterer. Like I said, this is small town diner food. Butter your toast and spread some strawberry jam on it. Get bacon AND the sausage. The beautiful old waitress will call you hun or darling, and you make sure you flirt with her in the politest, most innocent way known: catchy one liner trueisms âIâll be back for breakfast so often my wife will start wondering whatâs going onâ with an innocent wink and eyebrow raise. If youâre under 60 and not in construction boots, youâre probably hungover so get a double cheeseburger to go, itâs like around 6$. you make sure you tip her real nice too, ya young whippersnapper.

When outside in the county between harrow and amherstburg, not really sure where to go for breakfast. But as part of the tour county road 50 weekend, started with breakfast here at the intersection of Hwy 18. I have driven by this business and have always thought it was a convenience store and did not realize there is a restaurant inside. You do enter through the variety store with the kitchen in the back.The decor is rustic country. The menu selection has something for everyone and everything is made fresh with mom in the kitchen and dad watching the variety store. When we visited on Sunday morning, it was busy and service can be slow. The food is good, location is easy to find and is a good spot being close to harrow and holiday beach. I do wish they do them out and will visit again for breakfast if I find myself visiting in the area.
