So anyone go anywhere good lately, with iHop opening on monday (surely this one will be better than the one in grand forks service wise) I'm kind of wondering if anyone has been anywhere decent recently

 

a month ago I went with my friends to canadian brewhouse.....man that was a good burger but a word to the wise, do not get an appetizer if you also plan on getting the John Candy Burger it's the second most expensive thing there...but man those garlic fingers were excellent, but there were more than I thought so I asked "anyone want to share my fingers?" which they gladly did

 

I can assure you that the John Candy Burger is nothing like whatever John Candy like item that Rumors Comedy Club has....it was just two patties compared to the Rita Challenge

 

I'm not sure if anyone has made a restaurant thread yet so I'm just leaving this here

Usually I do have pizza hut for lunch

Really?  You better be careful or you're going to need an iHeart soon or your current one is gonna explode.

 

Famous Dave's is ok when I went to the one in Minni...but the one up here, at least when it first started, I found wasn't as good.  Never bothered to go back.

I said usually, not all the time, and when I do, it's usually a personal pizza

Ah ok.  I read usually as in, more often then not.  And I wasn't referring to the amount you ate, but to the amount of grease clogging the arteries over time.

I'm pretty much as far away from Wpg's Famous Dave's as you can get within city limits - only make it there sparingly. 

If you were a fan of the US one... time to go back. I've never had a bad meal at the one here. 

Lastly, curse you for filling my head with thoughts of burnt ends......so effn good! 

so has anyone ever been to Celebrations Dinner Theater. Most of the dinner theater shows are spoofs of popular movie or tv properties, the waiter actors interact with you (I had a little fun with them last night)

the food is usually orders of Beef, Chicken, pasta, or fish product (though Prime Rib was recently added to the menu but it's an additional $5 charge)

 

and if it's your birthday or anniversary you get called up and they cast sings something to you (I did that when they did Jump for Glee 7 years ago) and you get a signed card from the cast

Been twice and never again. The food is awful and the shows are lame. For the price of a ticket, I could go get at least five or six regular shawarmas at SK. Way more enjoyable.

I've not gone but many of my friends have and said it was an absolute blast.  I've heard nothing but good things about Celebrations. 

I've been once and it was a great time.

Same.  I went a few times years ago, but the food has always sucked and the shows were very meh.  We've never been back.

Bummer, I think Boston Pizza discontinued the pizza burger

The food at Celebrations is average at best, but I've always enjoyed the shows.

Well I finally got to try Fat Burger on Regent, it's kind of like Five Guys minus the peanuts, plus there's a breakfast menu and shakes

that was some good maple bacon. I didn't buy a shake because I had just got out of the dentist (3 cavities what the hell did I do to deserve that?)

Fat Burger was good but I found way to pricey... 

Qdoba has officially opened at KP.

I've had it once, like last year, my workplace had it catered for our lunch meeting it was just okay

Qdoba is nothing special at all it's been at St James for the last 2-3 years. 

 

The taco place on Henderson Hwy is really good however... I think it's called BNC Taqueria

Yeah, FatBurger is exactly like Five Guys....minus the taste.

You can't compare the two.  Fatburger is garbage.  No flavor at all.

I thought the opposite... Five Guys was just a lot of grease,  Fatburger had a lot of taste and both were greatly over priced.

I think im one of the few people togive InNOut a negative for its salty taste and ugh fries.

Also, I had the chance to visit Cibo Waterfront Cafe this week.  Cool looking place.  Only had a beer and coffee so can't comment on the food but their breakfast menu looked great.  Also visited Brown's Social House for the first time on Portage.  Again, didnt eat, but the patio was nice.

We ate at one out in Lloydminster - fantastic appetizers.

I used to eat a lot of Panago in the early 2000's and it was good...  I tried eating it again about 5 years ago and the quality was almost as bad as Little Caesars....

Same deal here. I had Panago a few years and it was awful. Quality went for quite a dump, so it's hardly a shocker to see it close.

I didn't know Panago was in the crapper. Well I guess it was bound to happen, you know how many pizza franchises there are in my neighbourhood? we have  Boston, we have a Papa John's we have a Pizza Pizza, Little Cesars, 'Za opened near Dairy Queen last year, and later this fall a Carbones is going into the back of Qdoba.  And YET we don't have a pizza hut....we used to, now it's a furniture rental center, been like that since the early 2000s
