I pretty well stopped going to restaurants because I would always leave so disappointed, with the food and sometimes the service. I am a chef and can't understand how people can screw up the most basic meals and how bad they can taste. I stopped at the Pine Valley Restaurant on my way to Bancroft and I must say what a surprise it was for me to find such a great place to eat. I have never found a place where I am served food that although simple tastes fantastic. I went back there a month later and it was another perfect meal, this time a burger, that's it, just a burger and man was it good! What a joy to find cooks that takes pride in what they send out. Hats off to the kitchen staff, what you have managed to achieve is not found in most restaurant kitchens. I can't forget about the server either, always so polite and nice it brightens up your day. It was the same girl both times I have been there. Nice to see someone who seems to really enjoy their job. I usually only do reviews when I have had a bad experience, but I thought for a change I would let people know how good my meal was. Now don't expect bells and whistles to go off when eating there. It is a gas bar, convenience store, and restaurant all in one place, but It is good, honest, great tasting food done right. Surprising how many restaurants fail to serve food that actually tastes good and stay in business for years. Great job!
