Amazing no fuss restaurant. The breakfast menu is large, affordable and the cook doesn’t shy away in coffee refills. The meals are large considering the price, and also delicious. The meals were ready within 10 minutes, even though the restaurant only had 1 staff. Good stuff, solid 5 stars.

Had to go to carp to pick up an item from kijiji, googled places foe breakfast. The restaurant had good reviews so we took a chance. Quaint little place. Small town diner vibes. The staff was great. Had a usual breakfast, eggs meat toast and coffee. My wife had apple juice. (Big glass which was a bonus) . Food came out really fast. Was delicious, and the coffee surprisingly good. Price was great and portions were big. Definitely recommend. Wait staff were warm and welcoming and very attentive. Would come back for sure.

Excellent old fashioned diner type restaurant with a friendly atmosphere located on the main street in the cute town of Pakenham. I'm new to the area and have never been but it's obviously a local institution - somewhere many locals have probably been going for decades. Service was excellent, food was very good especially for the price - ten dollars or not much more will get you a big plate of food and a cup of coffee - what's not to like!?

We enjoyed a lovely meal at Centennial Restaurant! I had the Fish and Chips, which were cooked to perfection - crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. My daughter's Chicken Fingers were also a hit, juicy and flavorful. Both dishes were well-prepared and satisfying. The service was friendly and welcoming, making our dining experience even more pleasant. We would definitely recommend Centennial Restaurant for a tasty and family-friendly meal.

Biking through Pakenham from Ottawa- Carlton Place and stopped here for breakfast. The crowd I saw were locals, older folk. The food was great. 4 piece French toast and also purchased a BLT sandwich . Generic coffee but it did the trick. The dinner area is fairly large, plenty of space for seating 50 people. Chairs could be better but after riding for 5 hours I wasn't really going to complain Would revisit next time I bike through Pakenham.

Really nice, affordable, classic diner. Bacon poutine was great — fries were crisp, gravy was nicely seasoned, and they were generous on the bacon. The tomato macaroni soup was also super flavourful and well seasoned. Roast beef sandwich had a solid helping of beef and crisp lettuce; 11.95 for a soup and sandwich combo was a great deal. Our waitress was really nice. Will definitely come back here next time I’m in town for a hike.

This local institution was recommended to me by a coworker..now I have to ask why it took so long to try this place. The pizza is to die for. Don't take too long in getting here..you need this in your life. Easy parking and great scenic drive. Friendly owner on site, warmly recieved.
