A sausage mcmuffin meal is $7 At A&W for $8 you get 2 sausages, 2 strips of bacon, 2 eggs, 2 slices of tomato, 2 slices of toast and hashbrowns. e: An individual sausage Mcmuffin is $4.39, that's some straight up bullshit compared to an $8 full canadian breakfast.

Young people hate Tim Hortons because without fail you go in and every single table is taken up by boomers for several hours I don't remember a time when I've gone into a Tim Hortons and been able to actually sit down at a table. Also they got rid of the Beyond Meat burgers which were the only draw for me in the past few months

Yeah the sausage McMuffin no egg is my to-go choice along with a coffee and a muffin (also a solid combo price, between 1.99 and 2.69 depending on coffee size) and the muffins are usually still warm out of the oven! I also love the A&W breakfast and eating in on proper plates etc. I don't know of any diners in the area that can beat it! When I lived in West side Vancouver the Nemoto cafe on Broadway was my go to but I would be surprised if it is still around. Cora's are apparently good too but they are always insanely busy and I don't want to wait 45min for a seat for breakfast.

I could never get why to go to coras with a wait when there is a white spot right next door here. Although lately white spot prices have been going a little nuts. It all started going downhill when they changed from regular hash browns to "smashed potatoes" which suck horribly. also just walking past an IHOP will give you diabetes
