Always a great meal here. Both my wife and I enjoy the atmosphere in this fine restaurant. Reminds us of one of our favourite family restaurants back in Ontario where we'd lived most our lives.
Refreshing to eat in an actual family restaurant where they care for their clientele.
All the best this new year 2022. Looking forward to the end of COVID and the need to wear mask 24/7 whenever out in public. slight side benefit is the much lower incidents of flues and colds. Something to think about going forward.

Hynes is such a classic dîner. Lots of great choices of food for all tastes. I love the lobster eggs Benedict. To die for!💥

Cheap breakfast special never disappoints. Avoid on Sundays around church time as it's packed to the brim with all the grandparents, great aunts and uncles in Moncton. Lives up to the old diner aesthetic.
*(Not a good place for vegan or vegetarian folks though.)

Nice place and friendly staff. Generous serving sizes. Their daily special is a great value.
The lobster roll is also nice - prices change every day. I paid $21.

Excellent food and service. Chance upon this restaurant while looking for a seafood restaurant on our road trip, we enjoyed so much that we went back 2 days later.
Had Fish & chips, lobster roll, seafood lasagna on our first visit for lunch, all were wonderful.
The lobsters were so fresh and tasty, combination of lobster, lightly toasted roll and the sauce was perfect. We wanted to have another before leaving Moncton and was delighted to find that they open their doors from 7am.
Our 2nd visit was for breakfast, we went the lobster rolls again. We were introduced to lobster Benedict as a variation

Hubby and I enjoyed our Steak & Eggs. Waitress was beyond nice and accommodating. There is a reason it's always busy and been opened for generations. Best breakfast spot

Staff is very nice and friendly with the kids. They take cleaning very seriously. I tried their chicken sandwich and was amazing. Plus it's very worth your money. Look at the full plate for $13 only. I was glad that I tried this place out. I also loved their coffee. Made my day 😂

I loved this place! I was in Moncton for a month and found myself here a lot. The food is great! Home cooked and affordable to eat there between hospital visits. My favorite was the chicken rice soup!! Service is super friendly too!

Great big portions, friendly and fast service. The portions are like "my plate needs a guardrail" sized.
Everything is wheelchair friendly and accessible.
The pricing is pretty reasonable for the amount of food.
Definitely a hopping busy spot, you may find a line leading up to lunch hour and weekends.
They are family run over a long time- you can see that and see the owners working the floor.
Tons of parking in the area and across the street they have a dedicated lot. Certainly a sign of a busy spot!

Location: About a 10-minute drive from the downtown core. They have a parking lot but street parking is also available.

The place: As another reviewer said, it's pretty dated in terms of decor but it gives the place character. It's got more of a diner feel to it - very casual and nothing pretentious about the place at all.

The goods: I had the early bird which included eggs, a meat of your choice, potatoes and coffee. The eggs were great, the sausage was also really good and so was the coffee. The potatoes didn't have any seasoning so I resolved that problem with ketchup. Overall

There was a lineup but we only waited 10 minutes. Great food, good service and reasonably priced.

This place is dated in decor but it's just the kind of home cooking we were looking for after several days of travelling around the Maritimes. I had the all day breakfast option of eggs, bacon and pancakes while my husband had the turkey dinner. It was just what I expected, well made home cooked food. Nothing fancy but it felt like food I'd make in my own kitchen.

I usually eat here once a week with friends from work. In all the years that I have been coming here I can honestly say that I have never had a negative experience of any kind. Great food. Great staff. Amazing service.

I had a friend visiting from Nova Scotia and we ate at Hynes twice. Once for breakfast and once for dinner. Both meals were good. I have been here many times and would definitely recommend it.

Nothing special. Just old fashioned home made food. I prefer something that makes me want to go out. Not something I could make at home.

Things have gone down hill recently. We went for breakfast and the food was mediocre. No garnish in the plate just a couple of overcooked sausages and cupple of too well done eggs. Still it's busy some people must be satisfied. We were not and will not be returning any time soon

Came on a Sunday morning, was packed, and had to wait, but not for long. The turn around was verrrrrry quick. They have a lot of options, a lot of things to try. I got eggs benedict which was decent but not outstanding. The potatoes, I shoulda gotten onions on them, but overall it wasn't bad. My friend didn't really enjoy the corned beef hash, which was more like mashed potatoes with a bit of beef. Their baked beans were yum.

The service was great and the wait staff was extremely speedy, I thought they might crash into each other.

They take American $ and I'd come back again

It was our first visit to this restaurant and at first I was hesitant but as soon as I opened the door we were greeted by a very friendly host and promptly seated. immediately our server came over to as if we wasted anything to drink. moments later our server then re-apeared as friendly as could be to take our order and she even recomended a few items which we decided to have. within a very short time our meal came out together which was great time appreciation on the kitchen staff for cooking as I have over 27 years in the food industry. the restaurant was full and they have about 6 or 7 servers

I don't get why it's so busy. Predictable home style food. Their breakfast portions aren't big, and I leave wanting.
If you want a hot sandwich and french fries, this might be your place. If you want something uniquely different, there are lots of other great places in town that would fill that need much better.
Run down building.

If you are looking for a cheap, filling breakfast, this is the place. This place is well known by everyone. The decor of the place is very outdated as well as the menu, but the place is always buzzing with mostly seniors. I had the eggs benedict, which is my favorite kind of egg dish,but Hynes version of it failed to impress me. The hollandaise sauce was bland, floury. The texture was not very appealing, it was separating. It was there, but without purpose in my plate. I was looking forward to some and I ended up very disappointed. The pan fries I regretted not taking deep fried, my pan
