Take in consideration I LOVE diner dive's. This hidden gem, where the decor is still 1970s and the food is made by the Mum & Pops. The coffee is crappy, they still have newspapers and the tube TV in the back corner. The food is spot on fantastic, the steak is made PERFECT even at 7am! If you're into nostalgic and great food, this is THE place.

The place was busy but still room for more. It's like a mom's and pop's place, good food, good coffee, good friendly staff. The place was well maintained and well lite, clean and tidy. They even had fish on the wall. When every I am in this area I will come back. It's that good.

It's family owned. They are a wonderful family and they make everyone feel welcome and like family. The food is exceptional. You will never find a place like this. The portions are big. Worth every penny. I highly recommend this place.

One of our favourite little hidden gems right off Highway 11, their prices are super fair, service is top notch and the food is always amazing! If you’re ever on highway 11 and looking for all day breakfast, or a great plate of food for a fair price, Northway is the only way!

Loved their hot hamburger sandwich. Fish and chips were great as well. Quantity is huge. Not sure why are there bad reviews about service. They were nice. *Only recommendation to improve is about their washrooms. It wasn't clean. Probably due to staff shortage. We went for lunch on last Saturday.
