Few years ago I went to Elgin Dinner to have lunch and I would never ever go back there. I ordered grill chicken with steamed veggies the waiter brought me left over from the night before. I am a cook myself and I know a lot about cooking, how did I find out it was left over? There was mashed potato covered on the chicken breast and the cook just heat it up on the grill and burned the mashed potato, so when I asked the waiter he answered me no it is not left over and he just said okay no problem and took the food away. I was so shocked he did not apologized or suggested to bring me fresh one I was so disgusted and disappointed since then I never gone there or suggested anyone to go there.

I've been going to this place since high school (sadly, more than 10 years ago) and it still rocks. Whether it's for egss after hitting the clubs, breakfast all day, or a bite for dinner, the service is always quick, courteous, and awe-inspiringly efficient. The only complaint I have is that some of the staff seem to think their status as "employees of the ESD" makes them the equivalant of rock stars. This is a petty complaint, however, as the service is (as I said) too quick and courteous to really complain about the staff. I reccomend the great poutine, great club sandwiches, and the milkshakes.
