In 1955, a 12-year-old Mr Greenhalgh went to the fish and chip restaurant for the first time with his father, also named Francis Greenhalgh.
That visit started a Saturday tradition between father and son where the pair would go for a lunch of blue cod and chips every weekend.
"My father used to manage hotels and he also used to bring me down here from the Christian Brothers High School [now Trinity Catholic College] when I was in standard 4 for lunch sometimes."
His father died a long time ago, but Mr Greenhalgh, now 83, continued the tradition.
These days he heads to Best Cafe from his retirement home.
The reason he kept coming back was simple — "it’s the only place in town you get decent food".
"Nobody knows how to serve decent lettuce now," he said.
"You get real lettuce here; other places give you leaves and bloody pieces of stalk.
"Here, you get the proper stuff."
Throughout his time, he had met many of the various owners.
In the 1950s, Best Cafe was owned by Kevin Collins, who had taken over the business from his father, Patrick Collins.
He began working there after returned from fighting in World War 2 and retired in 1986.
The business was then sold outside the family.
Mr Greenhalgh remembered when the business was bought by Jessica Marks — who was Patrick Collins’ great-granddaughter — in 2017.
"She came back from England and got it all done up ... she was good."
Last month, experienced hospitality couple Neisha and Nick Nilsen took over the cafe.
Mr Greenhalgh said he would keep coming back every Saturday.
Not only did it get him out and about on the weekend, he also saw no reason why he should go somewhere else for his blue cod and chips.
"They're good here — and I’ll be back."
