kelownabomberfan Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 (edited) Bonanza was another popular one. All you could eat shrimp and salad bar. And soft serve ice cream! I always wanted to do the Barney Gumble under the ice cream spigot. Of course this was well before Barney existed lol...

It was a chain restaurant that was across North America so not really special to only Winnipeg. I was surprised that Gasthaus Gutenburger wasn't on the list. That place is sorely missed and Winnipeg definitely could use a real german restaurant. Piggy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrostyWinnipeg Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 I remember a phone at a restaurant on South Pembina early 70s maybe it was King's Host. Did Grubee's have a phone at the table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to go there for work lunches every so often and never left extremely satisfied and extremely unproductive for the rest of the day. Definitely could have used an afternoon nap on those days! 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a few years back, it was good but more of a Canadian diner with some German influence in the dishes. Mostly variations of schnitzels with fries.

St Pierre used to have a great home made place called Oma's that sadly also closed down. I've had a co worker who has gone to Winkler and tried out Ralph's German Restaurant and said that it was authentic and really good. They also appear to have Rouladen.

iHeart Posted May 2 Author Report Share Posted May 2 Knowing what the cashier at Snak Trap told me today when I went (the store's interior has kind of shrunk it kind of reminds me too much of Tee-Yah's) I can kind of understand why the guy that founded Kelvin's Perk goes to the US to get his normal stock himself, because the Snak trap cashier told me that yes the Spray cheese is in demand but it's like 7 bucks a can....and the import places in Winnipeg usually have different suppliers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 We checked out Firehouse Subs off of Regent this afternoon, we stopped by at noon and the line up was 25 long so we came back an hour later. Much more quiet at that point with only 3 customers in front of us, it ended up taking 25 minutes to get our subs. I assume things will speed up once staff is more experienced. The subs just like the other location are massive in size and really tasty. I think most people would be completely stuffed with the smaller size sub , it's really dense and full of meat. I also noticed two doors down next to Bar Burrito that a place called "Boustan" is coming soon. Yet ANOTHER shawarma place opening up... it's funny that for years we had none and within the last 3 or so years 5 places have opened up. When I saw the sign I thought it was a mini Boston Pizza... it had the same colors, almost the same name, a logo with what looked like was a pizza slice, and a similar font. While it's nice getting new things... I think this area is covered with enough middle eastern food restaurants. The area could really use a Jimmy The Greek or Thai Express.
