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

Iconic Winnipeg diner set to reopen under original owner

want to bet they're made the same way as Tim's is not very fresh (don't get me wrong I'll try it once) I never had it when it was here the first time around

Now is the time for them to come back. Tim Hortons continually kills the brand and keeps eliminating items that made them successful in the first place, if Dunkin can come in and offer a variety with decent coffee then they should do well.

The offerings at Tim near my house is embarrassing (i.e. plain, honey dip, chocolate dip, and if lucky a few other donuts that change every month).

you mean they don't stock the cookies or the dream donuts? I know it's probably going to end up on the IKEA end (I think there's room in McPhillips too)

They have a glass cabinet that is maybe 4 feet wide that contains everything. It is also a full size restaurant also, so it's not like a kiosk. Tim is phasing out soups and pastries in certain areas of the country and are moving towards more of the flatbreads and bowls.

Baaaaaaaack in my youth, Tim Hortons would actually have a wide variety. I hope Dunkin donuts can come and offer such crazy items such as a "double chocolate, maple dip or vanilla dip donut" for which Tims no longer offers in each location. Maybe even crazy things such as the powdered donuts.

Ive had Dunkin in the U.S. and their donuts are a thousand times better than Tim Hortons. Quite similar to Krispy Kreme.

So guess where I finally went today (god I wish I could share images to my phone here) the fries are definitely up there with Roxi's in Selkirk. They also let you keep the glass bottle if you bring it on your next visit you'll get a 5% discount. The meal comes with either a Signature shake or a mojito, however one would have to pick between meal or dessert at this place because I was full by the time I finished the meal (hell I couldn't finish the fries) so next time no meal just freak shake or dessert item

I've been to Dunkin Doughnuts and honestly it felt like the American Tim Hortons. Doughnuts were all right, coffee is mediocre. Everywhere in Boston though.

Shakes me 🤷‍♂️

Well I think Subway is getting desperate or something because I was passing the one on McLeod on the bus ride home and I saw them advertising a SubDog.... they're adding hot dogs to the menu....I miss when they hawked it as diet food (but I guess it depends on what you put on your sandwich.....for those that wonder I put turkey, white cheddar spinach guac and three different sauces on while grain)

Winnipeg losing it's identity. Maybe we will win the shoplifting capital of the world :(

Crumbl Cookies Winnipeg has it's first Opening date (not quite though) the first location is going to open in fall, so sometime between September and November)

So I better do some sort of power shopping (or walking around) before I even go in (yes I am well aware that they are likely going to be expensive....not to mention they rotate the menu once a week)....so I better stick with one

Boy I'll bet the hours will probably be the same as the Kegs (and I've been proven right, Calgary's location opens at 3 pm, while Vancouver and Toronto opens at 4.... Guess I'll have to stick with Phantom Amusements at the Forks) it's a place called Greta so that gives at least three Arcade bars in Winnipeg...four if you count Underdogs

I don't like the format they're using I want to see all of them well at least the upside is I can easily see what my end if offering and it doesn't really interest me much
