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

Well Wayback Burgers is coming to my end of town where Snap Fitness used to be....and I'm hearing this TWO MONTHS after I cashed in my vax meal (still I kind of wish I had heard of the Rice dog place before I pushed for Wayback)

 

 

                                        

So....has anyone ever had Church's Chicken? because it's coming

btw here's their Ontario Menu

I also had to get a quote from someone who's had experience with Church's namely my aunt who was born and raised in Texas but moved to Winnipeg, she said her brother worked there, she told me it's nothing special but the biscuits are good, like I had said with Popeye's previously I will try this for myself and then state my opinion of it...an they actually have Ice Cream, KFC doesn't have Ice Cream, Popeyes doesn't have Ice Cream.

Church's Chicken... probably seeing the success Popeye's has had, and wants in on the spicy fried chicken n shrimp market. They get a lot of hip-hop shout-outs being based in Atlanta

Though it was founded in Texas

It was founded in Texas but its headquarters are in Atlanta.

Church's was awesome when I had it down in the US (Louisiana) some years back. The mac and cheese and deep fried okra were delicious.

This isn't "news" but I only just found out and thought I'd share...

 

If you've tried 'Willy Dogs' food cart out you already know they are one of the best food carts around. Well, they have a Willy Dogs kitchen operating out of the Deer Lodge curling rink right next to the St James Civic Centre. Dine in or take out, the observation deck has been lo-key converted into a small eating area overlooking the rinks. They are on skip, but the menu is cheaper if you just call ahead and pick it up yourself. That Big Whistle Burger of theirs is something else... a Winnipeg Old Country hot dog cut up onto a 1/4lb (or more?) smash patty with cheese and bacon... I just about nearly finished mine last night. Highly highly highly recommend this place if you want a burger or dog... or both at once.

You know I really wish that Pretzelmaker at St.Vital didn't close, I really miss those pretzel balls filled with Pep and Cheese

At one point it was a high quality good restaurant.  Way back in the early 90's.......

I think I only ate there once, and yet I don't remember it

It used to be great.  But now it's overpriced, considering what's on their menu.  You can eat at Montana's and spend about the same $$.

Tough for any new restaurant to open in Covid times. My Perkins beem empty for 2-3 years.

Pizza and Perogy planet are take out which are doing very well during COVID.  It's the sit down places that took a kick in the pants during the lock down.     

I went to KP two weeks ago and the new African place was dead... so dead that they had no staff behind the counter!  The food looked interesting though I'd give it a try had someone been at the counter.

already? I hope that bubble tea place is having better luck

The place was open ,  I saw food and the lights were on.  They just didn't have anyone behind the counter for at least 30 minutes while we sat and ate.     

I hope it does well,  the T-Cona area needs much more diversity in its restaurants... we have way to much burger/pizza/american food joints.

The employees were probably on a bathroom break or something or busy behind the door of that area

And let's face it Transcona really, really, REALLY wanted a Wendy's

You don't need much space to set up a Beavertails cart. Up and down the Rideau canal, they have them.
