What makes The Canteen special

The Canteen is the cheapest way to eat in the Pines and is located so you can stop in briefly before or after the ferry. The breakfast burrito and brisket sandwich get praise. However, reviews often mention high prices, long waits and inconsistent service. It isn’t meant as a night spot, it’s a practical pit stop.
