After the Bombers game that I had attended in early July, I felt like a bite to eat. I decided to…read moreplace an order at this McDonald's. It's on Pembina Highway. It's the closest one to the University of Manitoba and Princess Auto Stadium that's open 24 hours. You know what's funny? I didn't know that this McDonald's existed. I never dropped by here when I was a student at the U of M. I never came here when I was in the area as a Winnipegger. I would hit Earls or Perkins for a bite to eat instead. Sadly, both restaurants are gone. It was pretty busy on a late Friday night. I got here just before midnight. I ordered the mighty McMuffin meal. I got small fries and a snack-sized orange cream pop shake. I hit the drive-thru. It had steady volume. There were folks going inside the restaurant at this hour. It's popular among students and hungry post-Bombers game folks alike. I got to the drive-thru and heard a male voice on the other end. I rattled off my order code. He said to come over to the window. I had to wait off to the side of the restaurant for my mighty McMuffin to be made. What made me uneasy were drivers whipping around the bend faster than they should be. I also didn't like drivers who were pulling in front and behind me rather closely. They left little space for me to get out after a male staffer came out to hand me my food. It's not my favourite McDonald's. I would sooner drive further south to the one by the Four Points hotel that has a safer, casual vibe. I was hungry and parked away from this restaurant to chow down. It was nice to park away from the craziness. I loved my mighty McMuffin. It's an awesome breakfast sandwich at any time of the day. Why choose between bacon and sausage when you can have it all? It was yummy and satisfied my cravings. My small fries were interesting. A few of them were limp. The rest were crispy. I probably got two batches of fries mixed together. I'm glad that I got a small. It hit the spot. I loved my orange cream pop shake. It's a creamsicle in shake form. The snack-sized version was perfect for my midnight snack. Other than the weirdness with drivers who have the need for speed here and don't like leaving a ton of space when they parallel park, I was happy with my food. Maybe it's a better in the daytime.

This Five Guys is on Pembina down near the university. It's a smaller branch compared to the other…read moreFive Guys in the city, but I noticed a lot more takeout orders here. Quality is about the same as the other Five Guys (aka good quality for the price you pay). Not much difference so if you're craving a Five Guys in the south end of the city, this place does the job fine.

Tip: The gravy is awesome. It's worth getting it for an additional charge for your fries…read more I passed by this Salisbury House countless times on my recent vacation. I drove between Steinbach and Winnipeg almost every day, and loved it. I'm a road trip person and it was enjoyable when traffic moves. This Sal's is located on St. Anne's Road at Fermor Avenue, which is the Trans-Canada Highway. It was easy to pull off the highway and drop by this eatery for lunch before I caught my flight back to Toronto (technically, Mississauga). This Sal's is located in a plaza with a Shell gas station, Dollarama, and FreshCo. I ended up parking behind the Sal's and walking in. I liked that there was a shallow ramp up to the doors for accessibility. The entrance door is on the left, You exit on the left. This Sal's is the most well-oiled machine that I've ever been to. A man seated everyone. Another woman made sure that each table and booth was clean. Servers worked like clockwork. Wow! Kristen, who would end up being my server, indicated that my booth was just wiped down. Both seats were wet. I asked if I could get some paper towel to wipe one of the seats down. She got me some. I dried my side of the booth and then sat down. Looking back, should a customer actually do this work? I frankly didn't mind helping out because I just wanted to sit down without the seat being damp. I don't know if she simply was tired and was more concerned warning me. I basically offered to dry off one side. Anyway, I love dropping by Sal's. I can rely on consistent, yummy food. It's a Winnipeg staple. This location is open 24 hours a day. I have my usual meal that I get at any Sal's: - Diet Pepsi - Bacon mushroom swiss nip platter, with fries and coleslaw, and pickles I got gravy for my fries. It was extra. It's worth getting gravy for your fries. It didn't take long for my meal to get to me. The wait allowed me to upload photos to Yelp. My Diet Pepsi hit the spot on a hot summery day. It was cold, fizzy, and refreshing. I got a refill midway eating my meal. The bacon mushroom swiss nip was excellent. A nip is a burger. The patty was delicious with the bacon, melted swiss cheese, and sliced mushrooms. It has everything that I love about a burger. The bun was soft and yummy. The platter came with a few sliced pickles and coleslaw. I loved the crunch and contrast that both of them added to my meal. It came with fries. I got a lot of them. The rich beef gravy was delightful with the fries. So good! I couldn't fit dessert in. I got the bill and settled it at the table. I used my credit card to tip and tap the payment machine. Done! I used the washroom before I ran a couple of final errands around Winnipeg before my flight. The stall that I used in the women's washroom was clean. No complaints. It was nice checking out this Sal's. I have passed by it for eons. I'm glad that I can finally say that I've been here. The food was great. Staff were nice, competent, and efficient. (291)

I was at the location on Portage and Parkdale today at approx. 4 PM. I ordered the Mr Big Nip…read morePatter. When it arrived at my table the burger was disgusting. Inside it was filled with onions and lettuce. No Sal's sauce, no tomatoes. It was not hot either. II am sure it was a leftover burger because the meat was stuck to the bottom bun. I sent it back. The server came back and said that they had run out of tomatoes. That should have been told to me up front. Then they had the nerve to charge me for the fries. My check # is 802045, table 7, time 3:35 PM. I will never be back. The service was also horrible and the restaurant was not busy. Staff were too busy talking to each other.

After eating about 5 veggie burgers in the last month (at Boon's) I had to balance it off with a…read more"real" burger. So I splurged (calorically speaking) on a burger at Mrs. Mikes. I don't really give out 5 stars that often but this place really deserves it. I am still shocked and amazed at how good their burger is! I ordered the cheeseburger ($5) - kinda pricey compared to VJ's. But Mrs. Mike's burgers are bigger comparatively speaking. The cheeseburger is on a sesame bun, probably the size of a whopper. The patty is just slightly bigger than the bun and cooked with a slight crisp on the outside but still juicy inside - I love that! The flavour of the beef patty is perfectly seasoned and balances so well with the cheese, pickle, chili, onion and mustard. They don't put too much chili on their burgers so it's not as messy to eat but you still get the chili flavour. Of course I had to order their fries ($3). Now I'm torn on their fries because I was expecting the type of home cut fries (with the skin on) like at VJs but the ones here look and taste like McDonald's fries (although they taste a bit better than McDs). I have my moments when I love McD fries but when I am going to a local burger joint, I totally expect more "homestyle" fries. So maybe that pulls them down to 4.5??? I don't know...it's all subjective anyways and I'm neurotic enough to get a cheeseburger here and drive down to Broadway to get the fries at VJs. LOL. I was pretty full after finishing the cheeseburger and eating half the fries but I didn't feel too gross. You know that feeling when you've stuffed yourself with too much greasy food. So 5 stars for the cheeseburger and 4 stars for the fries = 4.5 stars, but I gave them the 5. The place seems pretty clean and organized in the kitchen. I was a little confused about where I was suppose to place my order as there are 2 widows (one in the front and one on the side). For the most part, it seemed like you order at the front, then wait for your order and then pick up and pay on the side window but then again some people did it differently. This place closes in the winter and closes at 7 pm so it's not a late night burger joint. There is no indoor seating as there are only picnic tables on the right side, which is about as scenic as a parking lot/alley - I took mine to go. All the prices listed on the board include taxes so it'll be a round number when you pay (CASH ONLY). They have a king burger (which I'm curious to what in includes), no fat boy but maybe the king burger is their version of one??? They also serve chili fries, milkshakes, and chicken fingers. Note: they are open seasonally (closes for the winter). Tues-Sat 11 am to 7 pm.

I have not had Pizza Hut for a long time because they were always too greasy. Well, it's still…read moregreasy but the flavour was actually quite good. I had to order with additional toppings to equal pizza fro mother restaurants. What was the draw? They had a BOGO offer for several days that was advertise on Red Flag Deals. We were pleasantly surprised to the point where we would buy here again. I hope they are consistent. As a side note, if you have a microwave crisping platter (the one where you preheat it in the microwave and then place your food on it) the oil actually helps to give the crust a nice crispy finish. Worked for us. Without a BOGO, I'd probably go elsewhere.

I hadn't had Pizza Hut a long time but I remember loving the crunchy pan crust as a teenager…read more Thought I would try it again. I asked for a well done pizza as I usually do, I like crunchy pizza. When I picked it up the pizza crust underneath was very underdone. I asked the lady at the counter to put it back into the oven to crisp it up a bit if she could. She wasn't happy about that. After a few minutes she gave it back to me and it was still underdone. Not even cooked like it usually should when you don't even ask for well done. I asked her why it was not crunchy at all but soft, she said pan pizza is supposed to be soft and her another lady working there told me that it's hand tossed pizza that is crunchy!?!? She then gave me the pizza and stared me down. I thanked them for trying to cook it a bit longer and walked out. Terrible experience, terrible food and terrible customer service.
