Ordered a burger from Coal Miners over the holidays and wow, very impressive in size and taste. I had the mountie burger with fries which are freshly cut, the burger was so tasteful and big I could barely finish it. I made the effort to eat the burger and have my fries last, which I didn't finish. The amount of food you get for the price is so worth a stop and eat in or take out.
The staff are very friendly and helpful, very typical of a small town and especially Cape Breton.
Highly recommended for either breakfast, lunch or supper and evening snacks.

Our take out orders are wrong
almost every time we order and the
customer service when trying to
resolve the issue, isn't the greatest.
Customers are going to a restaurant to get what they want and pay for. I boycotted in the past for burned food and wrong orders and
will be doing it again. Inconsistent,
missing items, orders messed up
and no chance of communicating
like adults to resolve the issues.
Check your take out items prior to
leaving the restaurant if you're ordering.

OMG! WHAT??? I think we found a GEM of a location, no lie! this food was so shokingly good that i was just speachless, the waitress was amazing, she understood that we are on a really tight schedule, so she did her best to accomdate, the burger was so tasstttyy i still remember it ^_^
I am so sorry but this is the second time I have received the wrong order at this restaurant. I am not impressed. Just make sure you check your order prior to leaving if you are doing pick up. I asked for ham and bacon and only got ham. I don't know if I will be ordering from here again.
Stopped in here for lunch recently, overall not the best experience. The service was quick and friendly which is the only reason for the 2, otherwise it would be a 1.
We asked about the fish, and it's frozen fish, and we asked about the fries which are also frozen crinkle cut fries. Seriously guys? You can't cut potatoes and make fresh fries?? Those 2 things should have tipped us to go and try somewhere else but we were in a hurry and hungry so decided on the hot turkey sandwich and western sandwich.
Hot turkey sandwich was bland and flavorless, gravy had no taste, needed seasoning. The mashed potatoes were dry and chalky, like they either used powder potatoes or they added no milk or butter to them and again needed salt. Veggie were freezer burned.
Western sandwich was decent but needed salt, onion rings needed salt.
There are much better places to eat in town for less. I'd try somewhere else.

Tried the (local favourite) CMC Burger ….YOU MUST TRY THIS ONE. Heavenly blend of flavour, perfect home style hamburger and a heap of crinkle fries or salad if you choose. Daughter enjoyed her chicken fingers for once so that’s a win.

Great breakfast nook. Ordered coal miners breakfast with substitute toast. Would have liked the home fries to have been seasoned. If you have kids the adult pancakes is too large for them. May want to stick the kids meal instead. Wife had the quesadilla and absolutely loved it. Coffee was perfect house blend
Service was scrambled looked like they were missing a dishwasher and were kinda upset at their situation which was quite evident. These ladies overcame the obstacle and deserve a raise and a pat on the back.

Delicious breakfast served with a smile. Pancakes are huge and filling. Coffee refills galore. Prices are reasonable. Interesting display of old time miners' gear and pictures hung on the walls. Good hearty food.
6 of us came here for breakfast and when we walked in there was a musty / mildew smell.
Quickly realized this was not a cafe, it's a diner.
If you are looking for a cafe, try somewhere else.
My uncle had a hankering for lunch but he was told they won't do anything special off the lunch menu during breakfast.
My sister is vegan and she was only able to drink coffee since they have no vegan options at all, not even fruit.
They wouldn't even let my sister bring a vegan item in from the real cafe up the road.
Coffee was nothing special, a 3 of 5. The tea pot was leaky and spilled down on the table when poured.
Staff was very friendly and Pam was great, she redeemed the visit with her waitress skills and humor. Quick to fill the coffee pot.
Food quality was ok, good but not great. Eggs Benny not lemony enough. Bacon overdone, too crispy, but they liked both.
Waitress was great, fast and efficient Did I mention?
My uncle and I got steak and eggs and our steaks were cooked perfect except too much fat on both steaks, the quality of the cut of meat was not awesome.
Waitress Pam was great.
