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

Its sad to see. Chains are often mediocre and non chains are often excellent.

Oakwood Cafe will be closing down the first week of March, non chain restaurants are are a dying breed and in these economic times with razor sharp margins and a smaller customer base expect many more closing down in the future

Part of the problem is that Winnipeg is over saturated with restaurants. I have no idea how some of these places stay in business with so much competition. We went to Nu-Burger on Henderson to check out the new location and including us they had only 3 customers. This was from noon when we arrive up until 1:00 ish.

I think the opposite and that the chain restaurants will be closing and the one offs that offer high quality & home cooked foods are the ones that will survive.

KP has shown off a rendering on how the new Food Court is going to look. and it looks kind of like Polo Park (hey I can post facebook stuff again)

What is disappointing is that they stated that they will go from 8 tenants up to 10 tenants. I would have thought with a massive increase in seating and cutting out that full corner that they would have at least 4 - 6 more spots for new restaurants. Hopefully with the remodel it forces the crap places to leave (Chinese restaurant, Koya, Taco Time) and its replaced with something that is at least edible.

well I can imagine that rent will probably go up and some places will leave (A&W won't be one of them it's practically mandatory to have an A&W in the malls, except the outlet mall doesn't seem to have it but they have a KFC KP doesn't need that) I do hope we'll get a potato corner, before the bus schedule changed up in December (I knew my days of going there would be numbered because it's too far from the bus stop) and I let them know KP was going to extend the food court and the person working there they would tell their supervisor about this.
