Darlin' Debbie's - Belleville

Friendly down home atmosphere. I really enjoy this place. The food has always been good and the wait staff is friendly and attentive. It can get quite busy at lunch and it is not a big place though they do not rush you. Definitely going again.

First I will start with if you wish to see a bit about the restaurant please feel free to look at the website. It isn't the direct website as there is none though it gives you an idea of the menu. Now since that is settled I will love to go into my family's favourite things to the start of the day. We walk in and Debbie notices us and grabs me a coffee and whatever the hot beverage of the morning is for my fiance. We sit down, fix our coffees (or wait for his tea to steep). We then proceed to order, to which I would give my usual. Debbie's special; bacon, eggs lightly basted, homefries (which I give to either my son or fiance as they like them) and rye with no butter (I use the egg yolk as a sauce per se). My fiance orders either the Hungry Mans Breakfast with extra sausages and home fries on the side (for our son). If not that then he would order one of the hamburgers. Debbie always leaves with a smile, shortly after she'll come back with our order. The bacon is that wonderful state of crispy but not too crispy, the eggs still have the yolk runny but the egg whites are cooked. Just perfect for me. Of course, ever vigilant Debbie ensures we do not need anything else and quick to appear when we require something. Sometimes we end the meal with an apple juice, sometimes not. The coffee or tea doesn't run empty, when it does, not for long. We never feel unwelcomed, we both feel like part of the family. Like everyone who walks in there just becomes adopted, regardless of age. I do notice 2 not so pleasant reviews, however acknowledging who her demographic is. Between the majority likely doesn't have review accounts, and lets face it if a person goes to a place once and it just so happens to be an off day. It can skew things. Either way I am excited to go back tomorrow.

We'd heard good things about Sunday breakfast, but were so disappointed. Dry eggs, frozen hash browns, very little food. And the restaurant stunk of cigarette smoke. No customers were smoking outside, so I can only guess that perhaps staff smoke with the door open in another area of the restaurant. Either way the smell was unbearable. We couldn't wait to leave. We were hoping for another choice for Sunday breakfast but this definitely isn't it!

Quiet. Small menu. Pleasant staff. One of them saw a 'regular' coming in. She rearranged a table for his handicap. Nice touch

Visited here on a Sunday morning and it was very busy. The place is small but the cook kept up. We had no wait what so ever for the sausage/egg and eggs benny breakfast. The Benny was cooked perfectly which is had to get during a breakfast rush. The prices are very reasonable too. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is the coffee tastes like dish water and they don't serve pancakes, which we were planning on ordering. We'll be back!
