The shawarma was good but the fries are over seasoned. Yup same place different/new location. 3 hours ago, iHeart said: eh close enough I did say I wanted something from the Waverly end of town down here Where is this new location?

From my experience the best sandwiches come out of McLeod but now having moved out of the area I choose between the two in Selkirk and the one by Walmart is the better of the two. Especially when the overly happy older woman is working, she is a true sandwich artist. Just now, GCJenks said: One on McLeod, one on Concordia.

The one on Concordia could be the 5th as it's less than 5 minutes away from the one on Reenders. MrFreakzilla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was referring to a certain radius length (meaning not the Monroe location) kind of weird that we have more Subways than Starbucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLeod is usually quick and accurate, the only issue I've had is that they over cook the cookies sometimes. East St Paul has a good Subway that never has any lines and I've never had any hockey puck cookies at that location. GCJenks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am usually more concerned with the handling of the GF Bun and McLeod would be the best in the area at that, although I have tried all 7 of the nearby locations, of the 4 I have they have the best service and turn out the best results for me. ESP would be a destination for us and it wouldn't include Subway, I would be going to Birdshill for Jonesy's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 3 hours ago, iHeart said: And you're right I'm not but so many people have fond memories (my mother included) I'm not sure if my mother remembers the drinks more I remember going to the Regent location and it was always busy and it was your standard tex-mex which at the time was good since back in the 80's Winnipeg didn't have nearly the amount of diverse food options. I remember them using super soakers and shooting Tequila into peoples mouthes. The owner sold his franchises in town and the people/group who took over had no idea how to run a restaurant and destroyed the business within a few years. Eventually the new owners lost the franchise and changed the name to something else (name escapes me) and the place closed soon after. In the States during the early 2000's Chi-chi's had e-coli at several restaurants or something along those lines and the company died. Eventually someone used the name to sell Salsa and Chips and I used to see it at the grocery stores in Fargo. Modern day if you go to Paradiso in the States it is kind of close to the same experience as Chi Chi's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
