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

So has anyone been to Select Start in the Exchange? I want to try and check it out for myself

so almost two weeks after it opened I finally tried the non-custard menu items from the Freddy's menu, mostly because I wanted to treat dad for Father's Day (spoiler alert: he liked his bacon and cheese double)

 

next time I'll either have Chicken strips or a grilled cheese, and even though it was a large order of tots it wasn't quite filling (I had a hot dog to go with it)

That's what she said!

 

It appears that they are renovating the Applebees on Nairn to an IHOP/Applebees restaurant.

No jokes  

I'm assuming it might take a year or two.    

Ah well what's a year or two when I can have Stacked to keep me company for the time being (though McPhillips location is taking forever to open)

surprised no one has posted about this

McDonald’s Canada is bringing back pizza… but not quite in the way you might remember. Starting Tuesday, June 24, 2025, McDonalds will launch Pizza Bites, a new snack-sized offering that brings a modern twist to the fan-favourite McPizza. These bite-sized pockets are packed with melty cheese, zesty tomato sauce, and classic pepperoni flavours, all wrapped in a golden, crispy crust perfect for dipping and sharing.

 

Okay once again I must ask what's with the Biscoff mania these days? The Rosti looks good though

I had one bite of the Teriyaki Chicken sandwich... it tasted like I chugged a bottle of Soya sauce directly.  The amount of salt I tasted nearly put me in a coma it was disgusting.      The sauce needs to be dliuted massively or if they were to put maybe 10% of what they had on this one it would possibly be decent.   

 

yeah I don't normally order fries from them if I go these days

well I tried the Pizza bites from McDonalds, they're not bad but they're essentially mini pizza pops

Jimmy John opening soon on Ellice as per reddit.    

I'll bet they won't bring their chips here (Freddy's has their own chips but it was one of the menu items that weren't brought over)

yeah because it would be so nice to have to NOT drive all the way to the states for Culvers and at least we have more than one Olive Garden....I'm old enough to remember when we had more than one Red Lobster and I think the other was on Henderson

Used to be a Red Lobster on Leila.

Maybe, but I know for sure there was one on Leila. Later became an Olive Garden then was torn down afterwards.

I don't believe Henderson has had anything with exception of a Wendy's 20 years ago.   

No Red Lobster on Henderson, it was on Leila.

Culvers is very meh. 

JJ is decent.
