4 Way Inn stakes claim
on the family market
There's nothing pretentious about the
4 Way Inn on Exeter's main street, either
on the inside or the outside.
It could be a hundred other Ontario
Restaurants when you look at it from the
outside, a storefront restaurant with large
windows and a big neon sign. Inside, it's
attractive and clean but hardly unique. It's
got the same arborite tables, the same tiled
ceiling as any number of other middle-class
Canadian restaurants. In short, it's not the
place for the fussy gourmet.
But as an example of the Canadian
family -style restaurant, it holds up well.
As we said earlier, it's neat and clean. It
has both booths at the front and a more
formal dining area at the rear and it is
carpeted to keep down the sound. The
decor is attractive with heavy -looking coats
of arms on the walls and recessed archways
that hold the lighting.
The menu is typical of the Canadian
family restaurant with a wide variety of
dishes to choose from and a choice of three
specials for the day. Perhaps a little more
unusual for a family restaurant is the fact
that the 4 Way Inn is licenced so there's a
wine, beer and liquor listing in the menu.
We chose two of the specials: pork
tenderloin for the lady and roast turkey for
the writer. The lady ordered a chef salad as
well while the writer had the soup of the
day, macaroni and tomato. The salad was
large, large enough to make a light lunch
all by itself. The soup was good enough
that it was obvious the management thinks
soup is too important to come from a can.
A plentiful supply of buns in a basket
came too.
The main course came as heaping plates

of food. The plate of turkey was huge. in
fact proved too much of a good thing for the
writer. It contained, beside the turkey,
green beans, a small salad, mashed
potatoes, and turkey dressing. But it was
the helping of turkey. both light and dark
meat, that dominated the plate. It was
more than the writer could manage without
permanent damage to the intestinal
system. Needless to say, he passed up
dessert.
The lady found her pork tenderloin,
Which was accompanied by the same
trimmings, not quite so hard to handle,
though the serving was ample.
That the Inn is a family restaurant was
well illustrated by the fact that nearly every
table occupied on this Saturday evening
had children at it, and they were about the
best behaved congregation of children
we've run across in a long while.
