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

Good news for folks working around True North Square!

Went to The Grove pub on Grosvenor.  Or just off Grosvenor...whatever.  Burgers are really good, fries are great.  I had the reuben, a little disappointed in it.  Seemed just a smidge soggy because of too much sauerkraut.  It was just missing that zing to it, probably because they didn't put any thousand island dressing on it.  But other then that one flaw, I'd definitely recommend it.

Popeyes other new location will be 3420 Portage Avenue.

Love it ,my end of town .Also one going up in Portage, La Prairie that is.

you know I just realized something, if Mary Brown's is 50 how come it took more than 40+ years to get to Winnipeg? or did it disappear for awhile like Swiss Chalet did

Started  out in Newfoundland so I think that had something to do with it.

So has anyone ever tried Paradise Italian restaurant?

Yes, several times. 

 

It's good for lunch. If you work at or ever worked at 800 Portage (Prov of MB building) or the surrounding area, you've probably dined there. It's good but not fantastic food. It's close though! Not much else to choose from. 

I've been there a few times myself, their bread is awesome but it can be a little too hot when it comes to the table, other than that, what other place sells Gnocci like that?

Pizeria Gusto but it's pricey. Amazing gnocci. 

So yesterday on my way home from work I noticed that Pizza Hut has moved into the building where Subway also is near Health Sciences, okay I love Pizza Hut and I'm glad that it seems to be making a comeback in Winnipeg but Subway makes a perfectly good Pizza Sub, and there's a garbonzos at the Canad Inns at Health Sciences and considering their menu options there, guess what I would rather have

Anyone try any Le Burger week burgers yet?

The website absolutely sucks for getting a list, so below is an excel spreadsheet I found while looking, with pictures, descriptions and prices for those interested.

Damn that is helpful!  I'm not sure why the Burger Week ppl haven't made a better website yet.  I usually rely on Access Winnipeg's list. At least has a pic & description for each place.

I had The Tom at Nite Hawk Café in West Hawk this past weekend. It was a slopfest but mighty tasty. Paired great with their thick cut fries and the Pale Ale I had back at the cabin.

Nothing like a good burger & a cold beer - other than a Bombers' win - that is.
