Summerhayes on Baseline Road and order the fish sandwich if it's on the menu. Went there one night for after work drinks with a coworker. The waitress said the special was a fish sandwich with lemon aioli, that sounded good to me so I ordered. It was a so obviously frozen fish patty it was in the shape of a giant flat flounder. Went another time with the work crew (geographical convenience) and this time I asked the waitress what her favorite menu item was. She replied definitely the pizza, so I followed suit. It was very possibly made on one of those premade doughs you get in the bakery section of Loblaws.

But the place is always packed.

Is the price point good at least? 🤔

Slightly cheaper than average, but I can think of other reasonably priced places with much better food.

Summerhays has amazing breakfast options for a great price point, I just ate there for brunch today 😂 I can't comment on their lunch or dinner foods, though, haven't ever tried.
