J&t's Family Cafe Scotia

I will start off saying that this review is VERY biased, but it's only biased because I've been coming here since they opened and they have convinced me time after time after time that they are the best around. We moved to the neighborhood several years ago, and as fate wanted it, J&T's opened the following weekend. What could be better than a little cafe opening two blocks from your house? How about a GREAT little cafe opening two blocks from your house. AT this point, I've either had myself, or a family member or friend has had 90% of the menu, and somehow I have never heard a single complaint about any food item. It's just all fresh, well cooked and well presented food. I have my favorites of course, but I always find myself finding something new on the daily specials or something I haven't had in a few months. It's close, but possibly the only thing better than the food is the staff. The owner and his wife are beyond friendly and you really feel like they are welcoming you into their home for a meal. The wait staff just go out of their way to make you feel cared for and deliver the delicious food with a smile and usually some friendly chit chat. I cannot lie, I love everything about this place. It's easily my favorite restaurant and between eat in and take out we probably go here 3-4 times a week. Depending on the time of day I swear I can go in and the waitress could start my order before I even sit down. It's nice being a regular at such a wonderful place.

Been here once for breakfast and once for dinner. Breakfast was GREAT. The place was super busy that morning but all went well. There were four in our party including two small children. Also tried the place for a burger at night. Less crowded then and only two in my party. The burger was very good, the fries were the standard diner fries, nothing special, but the macaroni salad and homemade chips were good. The staff is friendly and attentive but the place could be cleaner. Might be that it was late and they weren't able to keep up with the cleaning. Five stars because as far as local diners go this is a cut above all around.
