Cousin's - Halifax

Our group of 6 came for Sunday breakfast. Service was fast, food fresh and hot. Nice portions...not too much, not too little.....I have been here for lunch too....awesome Greek food....down homie delish.

Yummm..... If you want a good, solid home-style meal, this is the place to go. The food is always good...tasty and fresh; the portions are handsome to say the least and the staff are very friendly and good fun, especially if you are a 'regular '. I am particularly fond of their Greek selections, as the owners are of Greek origin and their dishes are the real deal, not some tarted up dish for appearances sake. Always save room for dessert, which are freshly made and very good indeed.

Decor worth the cranky. This Cousins (Robie and Lady Hammond, not Agricola has a charm that's rooted in nostalgia: plaid carpeting and a menu that includes drinks called things like Grasshopper. Pretend you are in Mad Men. The full house of regulars, many of whom are 55+ and who seem to know each other is heartwarming as well. However, the service is consistently cranky, which suggests that whoever all these waitresses work for must be a PITA. Oh, and the food, right. Varies. Roast dinners good, chicken parm good, clubhouse is made with dark meat mixed in and *no option for just white*, ?? In other words, every once in a while, when we are feeling very happy and tolerant and nostalgic, we go and get a roast dinner and chicken parm :

Had the Greek platter which was very flavourful and a generous portion without being too much. And compared to other Greek restaurants it was an excellent price. Nice homecooked food. Not a fancy place but it was steady busy with tons of repeat customers.

A blast from the past. This restaurant has been around for quite some time and I don't believe the furniture and decor has ever changed. Having said that it is very clean and the food is great if you are up for hot turkey sandwiches and BLTs. Recommended.
