Marty's Grill - Chilliwack, BC

What's Mr Piglet doing in Chilliwack??? All he can remember is a night of heavy drinking and waking up with a hankering for breakfast. WHERE ARE YOU BREAKFAST???



The group ends up at Marty's Grill, a dive pub/bar on the outside with an old-school diner/dive/sports bar on the inside. Mostly regulars fill the booths but we managed to find a table and sat our haggard backsides down.



I opted for the biggest breakfast on the menu to soak up as much residual alcohol there was left in my battered body. The Original it is with a side of bacon!





2 eggs any way you like, homestyle hashbrowns, 3 slices of bacon, 2 slices of ham and 1 pancake (really? just one? LOL. Ok....). Nothing spectacular or anything to write home about - just a regular breakfast - but it did hit the spot for this hung over Piggie. Hm, butter, sugar and cream all came from containers... *grumble*. No one had any complaints but no real praise either. Don't think I'd make the effort to go back with so many other breakfast places around.

My entire meal was $14.95 without tip - kinda pricey for a breakfast but at least it did it's job. Now time for a nap... Zzzzzzz....

Pros:
Considerable portion sizes
Free parking
Free coffee refills
Great sports memorabilia on the walls - a signed Gretzky picture!

Cons:
Pricey for what you get
No endearing diner qualities
Slower service - items were forgotten a few times
Small establishment
