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

To put JCon at ease, I'm sure the McPizza was wood fired in the back

I won't put up with you disparaging the McPizza. Take that back! 

Actually, if truth be known their pizza wasn't that bad. 

I do have memories of having that pizza, and I don't remember the taste really it was so long ago I'm sure I liked it, but McD's made it clear that they are never ever ever bringing it back

Why did they get rid of the Grand Big Mac? That was the size the regular Big Mac was twenty years ago.

It's Bowl Way, don't you know??? I wouldn't touch one of those bowl meals with a 10 foot pole as they look disgusting. It's like when McDonald's sold pizza. Subway is way outside it's comfort zone with that ****. 

I have to respectfully disagree. I find them quite tasty.

In the late 90's they had frozen pizzas that was heated up in an oven.   

I think they only microwaved burgers with cheese in order to melt the cheese.

My wife had the Caribbean jerk chicken bowl it was real chicken (not the weird chicken they use in the sandwiches) and everything was large in size and super fresh.

Yep. A double big mac used to be enough fuel for the day. And the Angus was a good sandwich - that's gone too.

can't believe how easy it was to pull off naan bread pizza (I baked it for 9 minutes in a 425 preheat)

Not really a "Winnipeg" story but i imagine these guys will be coming here eventually. Good news. Subway needs some competition.

Tried out Kings on Sun Valley Road here in North Kildonan.    I'd say the shawarma was full of flavour and the meat was really tender and juicy.   The fries were a bit over seasoned so it's really salty.  Overall it's on the same level as Ramallah on Munroe and a good place to check out.

We got some at work last Friday from the Sterling Lyon location. I had the Firehouse Meatball and really enjoyed it. Wayyy better than Subway. The other guys were pretty impressed too. A little bit more $ than Subway but worth the extra. Theyre getting destroyed however on google reviews due to the time its taking to get orders out. Seems like its really disorganized and under staffed. People complaining of nearly hour long waits. We had no problems but i guess there are peak hours where theyre falling behind big time. Better get their s**t straightened out soon or people will stop going.

Google reviews go back a couple months so im guessing December?

well if they've been open since December then maybe they're still trying to get things in order, I've always been told not to go to a restaurant or fast food joint on opening day because there would be disorganization

True but this seems beyond disorganized. Nearly every second review is 1 star. A lot of people losing their minds.

Is that the same as the Kings in Westwood? Same thoughts, if so. The shawarma was good but the fries are over seasoned.
