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

Haven’t they been closed for years? Been a decade or longer since I have grossed myself out with their food. 
 

I'm not even sure myself

Looks like I am wrong and Burger Factory still exists. I must be thinking of a different place. 

I took in the Cocoabeans Gluten Free entry in to Fried Chicken week and was very happy to eat some decent fried chicken for the first time in almost three years.

Yeah they alive n well on Facebook.

 

I haven't google searched but I'm going to assume they replaced Pannizza.  

I tried Pannizza a year and a bit ago and it was terrible.  It was a ghetto version of Za Pizza mixed with the ability to make sandwiches.  I knew it wasn't going to last when the lady who served us was completely shitting on the place and the owner and how they barely are doing any business and how her hours were cut and how she's going to tell off the owner and quit on the spot soon.   Lol.  

Bonus Point to this story:  The lady didn't realize that I used to work with her when I was 15 at Mcdonalds and she was fired for stealing a box of monopoly cups,  taking all the stickers and then trying to redeem them all at once at a different location which was owned by the same owner and where the owner had his head office lol.   Not the sharpest person in the world.   

yeah google maps confirms that it's permanently closed

That restaurant in Ste. Anne...

 

So, today I tried Popeye's new Rippin' Chicken....don't bother it's smaller than actual size, I do have good news though, remember those Beignets I posted about awhile back THEY'RE HERE!

What pizza place was at the north-east corner of St. Marys and Fermor circa 80s...maybe early 90s.

Tony's? Mr. Bones?

Might have been more then one.

Across from Glenlawn? Wasn't that a Mr Bones for a while?

So the general consensus is...yes to all. It's been a Tony's, Mr. Bones, Slices & Pizza Time.

sigh I wish this site would fix the facebook issues, but the link is reporting that they are trying to compete with Popeyes Chicken Sandwich by replacing the Crispy Chicken Sandwich with this thing.......I have yet to try the one KFC came out with, the chicken slab is about as thick as a hockey puck (but at least it doesn't have the texture of a hockey puck) 

If the Burger King sandwich is at the same quality as the BK nuggets... then I would set expectations very low.

Ive always like the BK chicken sandwiches...when they were 2 for 5!

 

well Tee-Yah's is open again, bought 31 bucks worth of stuff (it's a small business buying from American distributors since a majority of their inventory is stuff you can only  buy in the US, I mean where else can you get Reese's snack cakes or Oreo handisnacks, or Duncan Hines cake mixes for one (you can also get cookie pop and Candy pop stuff at the convenience store across from HSC), or a variety of different Twix's

 

also I heard that the Chicken Chef that moved into Panizza's old space, is going to turn into a Jollibee's

I just found out that Kent Restaurant won't reopen, which sucks they had good chicken fingers, that place was closest to my house, the owner didn't know my name, but whenever I came in she knew what I wanted (it was either the chicken fingers and fries with BBQ sauce and Mayo on the side or it was their breakfast) it was kind of like the amount of times when went to the Arby's at BellMTS when they had it at the time

Can someone please tell me where to get a good donair in Winnipeg. Honestly I've traveled this country and had amazing experiences out east and even some good donair places in Alberta.

 

Every place I've tried in Manitoba badly misses the mark. Shwarma Queen in Brandon is the best I've had. 

there's like three places in Winnipeg that has donair if you haven't been to those places

I've tried shwarma khan, not bad but not exactly what I'm after. Just tried Lamar donair. Not even close to what I would consider a good donair.

 

For Those Who Like Very Hot Food:

Best I've had here would either be from Ramallah Cafe or Baraka Bakery.

Le Saj is a real good place to check out.
