Val And Paulie's Diner

Downtown restaurant for breakfast (and lunch on weekdays only). Very friendly staff. Cash only, but ATM available near the washrooms. Walking distance from the Cornwall Square.

We came in for Mother's day.They seemed to only have two waitresses and the restaurant became full soon after our arrival.We overheard one waitress say they had considered calling someone else in, but decoded against it, but they had forgotten about the addition of their regulars and how busy it would be due to the holiday.It took a long time between ordering and receiving our food.My food was good (french toast and bacon) and so was my neice's food (sausage hashbrown, toast and eggs). Unfortunately, my sister's french toast was soggy as if undercooked, and many of my mom's grapes were mushy although the rest of the fruit was fresh. They forgot to bring out the fried potatoes for two dishes until we reminded them near the end of our meal. Drinks weren't topped up until we reminded them either.I think if they had more staff, this would have been a better experience.An upside is that they offer the meals for very reasonable prices.This restaurant is cash only, with a small sign outside the door warning of this.It may be a good idea for the staff to remind their patrons when taking the order and a preemptive reminder when they make the bill, that they are cash only and that they have an ATM at the back. This way, the customers aren't surprised or confused when they are asked to pay in cash.

Great small diner, great food and very socialable friendly staff. Great meat pies, apple pies and many more made to order.My top breakfast dinner, very Impressed!Stop in and experience the great food and don't forget to check out their amazing collection of Coca-Cola historic memorabilia as you enter!

In my opinion the best breakfast in Cornwall. Prices are also one of the lowest of any breakfast joint in town.

I recently had breakfast at Val & Pauline's diner and it was a wonderful experience. I ordered their special which included 2 eggs over easy, 3 pieces of bacon, home fries, and brown toast. The food was cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. It felt like having breakfast made from your grandma, it was that delicious!The atmosphere of the diner was also very inviting and comfortable. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the service was excellent. Overall, I had a fantastic experience at Val & Pauline's diner and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great breakfast spot. I will definitely be coming back again soon!

This is what I would call your traditional diner. Everyone knows everyone by their first name and a bit of fun is had by all just based on the conversation. The breakfast was good, maybe just a little overcooked. But overall a very good place to eat at a very reasonable price. The staff are friendly willing to help and have a joke.

Great service and great food! The portion sizes are perfect so you don't end up wasting and they have Turkey bacon! Plus the prices and great. What more could a girl ask for?

A little scratch diner located right on Pitt st. I stopped in for a quick bite & was pleasantly surprised.Ordered the bacon cheeseburger special with a side salad Greek which was the size of a full sized one! Ample amounts of fixings and lots of black olives and feta!My cheeseburger was fantastic, perfectly cooked on a grilltop with crispy edges and tasty patties. Bacon was thick and crispy and the bun was fresh!Dessert was a warmed up caramel sauce cake that literally tasted like a bowl of pancakes and syrup. It was quite enjoyable.My server was very friendly and sitting up on the bar made you feel like you were at someone's home.A great little diner, $10.95 after tax with a drink is an amazing price.Only drawbacks for some is the dated decor and cash only.

A well hidden gem. The ladies are great and the food is very well priced.

I am not much for breakfast since i hate eggs but i love there pancakes and there pricea are not bad if you have not tryed them out give them a try
