Tip: Get a free original grand slam or build your own grand slam on your birthday…read more My first Denny's dining experience happened in Winnipeg. There used to be a Denny's on Ellice Avenue at St. James Street. I went there often when I lived in this city. I recall saying to my friend that we needed to go to Denny's for dinner. I liked the alliteration. That location has since closed for good. However, this Denny's isn't too far away from it. This eatery is a part of the Sandman Hotel and is near the airport. I came here on my birthday for lunch. You can choose from a free original grand slam or build your own grand slam on your birthday. There was lots of parking in front of the hotel. I found an available spot to park my vehicle and walked in. It didn't take long for someone to greet me and lead me to a booth. Nancy was my server. She was efficient, friendly, and exceptionally competent. I let her know that it was my birthday. She smiled and nodded. She didn't ask for proof, which was refreshing. She let me know what my options were. I kept it simple and ordered the original grand slam. My original grand slam consisted of these items: - Scrambled eggs - Bacon - Sausage - Pancakes The only item that I paid for was a Diet Coke. I got unlimited refills. Nancy was attentive, making sure that I always had Diet Coke. It was cold and fizzy. My food was delicious. The scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly. I loved having bacon and sausage. I didn't have to decide. I got both! They were yummy. I loved my pancakes. They were fluffy with butter on top. I got a bottle of maple syrup, which I happily used. Perfect! I paid for my drink and tipped generously at the table. I paid with a credit card. Done! I used the washroom before I headed down to the south end of the city. It was clean. No complaints! It was great visiting this Denny's. I had a memorable experience on my birthday. I'll be back when I'm in Winnipeg again. (284)

All the meat was overcooked and dry. It sucks to say goodbye to an old friend, but I don't think I'll be going back.

Winnipeg's Chinatown was so tiny that you'd blink and you were done walking the whole thing. Osborne Village did not have a northern Chinese eatery until this place opened up. It was and continues to be steps away from my favourite used music and DVD store. You walk downstairs to get to this restaurant. Even though I lived two blocks away, I probably did takeout once. Most of my meals were delivery. I'd call in my order and one of the family members (mainly the dad back then) would happily come over to deliver my food. I have dined here a couple of times. Spicy Noodle House became my go-to place for yumminess and a bit of home cooking away from home. My favourite meal was the beef brisket in noodles. The beef brisket was tender and incredibly flavourful. It reminded me of how my mom made it, but without the turnips. This place took them out, which I appreciated! The noodles were thick and chewy. The broth was so good. I never had a disaster with the broth getting delivered to me. I also got these huge dumplings that were filled with pork goodness. Sadly, I don't see them on the menu anymore. However, if you get something similar, such as their wontons, you can't go wrong. They are so delicious and comforting. This place is generous with portions. I have also had their mooshi. I've done the pork, beef, and chicken. I am missing the vegetable to complete my mooshi mission. It was all good. It's funny how I only have had mooshi in Winnipeg. Maybe cold evenings scream mooshi as comfort food to me. I passed by this eatery the last time I was in Winnipeg, and was happy that it's still alive and kicking. I am salivating writing this review. I need to return and get reacquainted with the food again. (134)

Tip: Happy hour specials are between 3 pm and 6 pm on weekdays…read more My recent trip back to Winnipeg focused on a few eateries that I used to frequent when I lived in the city. After I took in a movie at Scotiabank Theatre across from CF Polo Park, I decided to dine at this Red Lobster. It was a short drive over. This restaurant has been here for eons. Months after moving to Winnipeg, I dined here with a friend. Things haven't changed much. I got here just past 5:30 pm. Red Lobster shares its parking lot with Olive Garden. I managed to nab the last parking spot by St. James Street. There is more parking across the street near the pharmacy if need be. I've never needed to park there. The beautiful thing about being a lone diner is being able to get seating faster during the dinner rush. I got a two-seat table. Yay! I arrived during the last fifteen minutes of happy hour on a Wednesday. It's between 3 pm and 6 pm on weekdays. I looked at the happy hour menu. It was up my alley. I got these items: - Tropical white sangria - Seafood-stuffed mushrooms Kody was my server. He was polite, attentive, and nice. My only alcoholic drink on this trip was the tropical white sangria. I don't know whether staying in Steinbach rubbed off on me or if I was thoroughly hydrated with non-alcoholic fluids. I felt like sangria, so I got a glass. I loved it. It had Barefoot moscato with pineapple and mango juices. It also had a splash of Sprite, which added bubbles to this drink. It was all good. It was fruity, fizzy, and yummy. The seafood-stuffed mushrooms came out next. I love this appetizer. It's one of my favourites. The seafood stuffing is divine. I love mushrooms. Having the stuffing housed in a set of mushroom caps, topped off with melted monterey jack cheese made this starter so perfect. Classic. Delicious. Happy! It was tough figuring out what I wanted as a main. There were seafood boils that were fairly new. I saw a couple of boils come out in bags at the table across from me. The corn on the cob looked amazing with an assortment of seafood. There was so much food that I couldn't do with after downing an appetizer. Instead, I went with the seaside shrimp combo. I hadn't had shrimp for a while. It had Walt's favourite shrimp, garlic shrimp, and shrimp linguini alfredo. I got to choose a side that came with this combo. I got green beans. I love this shrimp combo. I don't know who Walt is, but I do like his favourite shrimp that is lightly battered and deep-fried. The exterior was consistently crispy and the shrimp were plump. My favourite is the garlic shrimp. I love garlic. I love butter. I love shrimp. I don't want you sitting next to me afterwards. It's pure deliciousness. The shrimp linguini alfredo was so creamy. I don't normally order it, but it was worth indulging. The linguini was al dente. The shrimp were perfectly cooked. Everything was coated in the best alfredo sauce. So good! Green beans are one of my favourite sides. I loved them here. They were the perfect side. Kody came by to get me Diet Coke refills. I lost track of how many I had. Each glass had ice in it. It was perfect with everything that I ate. He asked whether I wanted dessert. It wouldn't fit, which made him laugh. We got to talking about what I had planned on doing afterwards. I had already been at CF Polo Park, exercising my credit card. I thought that I may grab a few snacks at the local grocery store was in order before heading back to Steinbach. I paid my bill at the table. I tipped and tapped my credit card. Done! I used the washroom before I left. It was clean and nicely maintained. It was great coming back to this Red Lobster. It's the only one in Winnipeg and it's still wonderful after all these years. (283)

This particular branch has decent food quality, about what you expect for this place. It's fast food with over the counter service in the end, so don't elevate your expectations thinking it's gourmet style.

I probably was a Winnipegger when I last sat down to have a bite to eat. There used to be a pizza-spaghetti place. It no longer exists. Well, here's to making new food court memories! I looked around and saw this Edo Japan food stall. I love Edo. Perfect! I got a nice, attentive woman behind the counter. She was great to let me review the menu and figure out what I wanted. I got the following: - Chicken teriyaki on rice - Gyoza - California roll - Diet Coke in a bottle I like making my meal a bento box. It allows me to select two appetizers. I went for the gyoza and California roll. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was set. I watched my teriyaki chicken and veggies in action. My gyoza were also heated up on the hibachi grill. The California roll was already pre-made. I saw a woman start making some as I was about to head to a table and eat. It was cool seeing my food made in front of me. I enjoyed it. The man asked if I wanted teriyaki sauce. I said more would be great. There was a bit of a language barrier. I could tell that he was more comfortable asking me how many scoops of sauce I'd like. I said two. Perfect! One scoop of teriyaki sauce is the norm. I am so not the norm. Two works better to coat the chicken and the rice. I found a table and was ready to enjoy a late lunch. I love that no matter which Edo you visit, the food is yummy and consistent. I loved the chicken teriyaki on rice. The rice was perfect. The chicken morsels had good flavour and sear, and were delicious. The veggies were great. I was happy. The gyoza were great. They had chicken filling in it and were flavourful. The wrapper on each one was pan-fried. So good! I washed everything down with a Diet Coke. The bottle was the perfect size. I had a great experience. I'd return again for more when I'm back at this mall. (244)
