Hathaway's review:

This is an excellent diner. Food is good and fairly price. Staff is quite personable. they were busy on a Friday morning at 10. The reasons for the change in diners is:

1. I asked the owner about have a meeting of 10 people. She said that would be okay but on Sat it is busy. You would have to wait to get that group of 10 seats.
2. Because it is small waiting customers tend to scowl at you if you take too long eating( that is what the owner said)
3. They are not open Sunday
4. I would definitely go back. They have an eggs benedict special only on Sat.....I am going to check that out.....
5. Steve suggested Ricks Grill

Steve

Good point. ;)

RedCoralEdmonton 04-25-2011 10:00 PM

Bahaha good one Lastlight, but i never said anything about JBs Wayne, at least its on a main road, this new diner is way off the beaten path right across from some real "interesting" condos.... my only point being is you are trying to attract new people to show up to these meets not discourage them.... I'll be there either way....

Steve

Myka 04-25-2011 10:29 PM

Dang...I will miss this one too (not even work this time...wedding)! Maybe one of these days I can make a meeting!

Flash 04-25-2011 11:51 PM

by always making these on a saturday, you make it so i am never able to attend.. what ever happened to sunday's?

Edmonton newbie 04-26-2011 02:15 AM

bean i think wayne has some deep seeded resentment toward you or something lol jk

Flash 04-26-2011 02:20 AM

I think so as well!! Lmao!!!

sgreen 04-26-2011 02:26 AM

Sundays would be better but we will try and make it either way.

RedCoralEdmonton 04-26-2011 02:28 AM

Its still early enough to change it if everyone gets stubborn enough we could change it on Wayne lol....

Steve

sgreen 04-26-2011 02:32 AM

What days work best for the majority? what day will get the most people out?
Is there more room in this particular restaurant?

ALang 04-26-2011 04:46 PM

Mom's Birthday... so probably not avail...
Fencer, I will arrange to return your wavebox to you another day.

fencer 04-26-2011 04:57 PM

Okay I will change to Sunday... I am open to other diner choices.........Saratoga was the alternate

RedCoralEdmonton 04-26-2011 08:19 PM

Saratoga.... been going there for the past 25 years and has really fallen off quality wise, the prices arent cheap either, how about we try for something central like a smittys or something.... maybe kingsway.... i believe they take reservations and its quick for anyone to get there..... obviously not for may but maybe for next time?

Why not for may? I can call Smitty's in Kingsway and make the reservations, if people are ok with that :biggrin:

fishoholic 04-26-2011 09:16 PM

I called smitty's in kingsway and they don't take reservations, not sure if that would be an issue or not.

RedCoralEdmonton 04-26-2011 09:35 PM

I just sadi not for May as Wayne has already picked a place adn i didnt want to hijack it

I think that was partly my fault Lyndsy. I can never go on Sundays and I wined about it :lol:

fishoholic 04-27-2011 02:28 AM

He said he was open to other ideas and I would rather go eat somewhere I am familiar with then some place I've never heard of in a shady area of the city.

Edmonton newbie 04-27-2011 03:14 AM

Edmonton newbie 04-27-2011 03:44 AM

The Grizz 04-27-2011 03:45 AM

I keep hearing that Cora's has an amazing egg benedict but haven't tried it yet. Of coarse Cora's is crazy busy on the weekend.
I suppose I could let you have this one :razz::mrgreen: It would be nice if we could be at the meetings together :sad: darn work!
:lol: no pie necessary :lol: I've had so much crap lately with Easter junk that my jeans aren't fitting :redface:

fencer 04-28-2011 04:23 AM

Go away for a few days and you have an insurrection

1. Steve, You know I check these places out before the reefers meet
2. too far....that is why we own cars or hogs
3. some of the best places are mom and pop diners
4. Safe neighbourhood...Try hanging around beverly a few hours at night
5. This is technically the last meeting before summer...so if someone like Laurie wants the job to carry into summer, I need a break. I might takeover in the fall if Laurie doesn't want the job. Or maybe some else
6. I often change dates or times for people if necessary/possible
-Sat actually worked better for me
7. I prefer lunch vs breakfast ......Mucho Burritto..haven't been there in a while
8. I don't mind changing location..... works for me.....But try not to make Alberts/Smittys the only spot to go to

Flash 04-28-2011 04:43 AM

all good guys!! keep it saturday! i get to see most of you anyway when you roll into my store after!!!

The Grizz 04-28-2011 04:44 AM

Well maybe I won't come :twised: don't want to crash the party just in case it breaks down into a reef brawl :razz:

Edit: damn won't make it on the Saturday.

reef-keeper 04-28-2011 06:42 PM

Have we decided Saturday or Sunday and where yet? Is it still 10 am?

Good question to know the answer to :biggrin:

fencer 04-28-2011 07:00 PM

I will let you know this Friday......

ALang 04-29-2011 02:21 AM

FYI, everyone.
There IS another Wayne Mah, and he is NOT Fencer.
Just met him, and his lovely wife.
And I just might have talked them into coming to our meeting.

The Grizz 04-29-2011 02:31 AM

Cool 2 Wayne Mah's but only 1 Grizz :lol:
