There are only about 6-7 sandwiches to choose from, but to me this means they are doing things right by having a small menu! Lots of sides to choose from and a ton of local craft sodas and beers too. We got: 1. Beef and cheddar - messy but good, served on a baguette - this was enough for me to eat lunch and save half for later! 2. Caprese - fresh and delicious on a fluffy focaccia bread 3. Hot Italian - cappicollo ham - spicy, lean and delish!! 10/10 will make that drive back!

And just what was needed to warm me up. The latte was also very good. I chatted with the owner a bit. They have been open for about 5 years. 30 years ago when I was growing up jn the area, such a nice little Cafe would have been impossible to find. But Red Deer downtown has really become nice and this place is part of that improvement

Since starting a new job downtown, I wanted to find a comfortable place to grab a light lunch, and…read moreThe Bistro really has hit the spot. The Bistro is a bit easy to miss - it has a modest storefront, and looks a bit dark from the outside. When you walk inside though, the business has a nice cozy feeling: wooden chairs and leather accented tables, as well as big comfy lounge chairs and 2-person booths, highlighted by local artwork on the walls. It's a counter-service affair, and you can order coffee and espresso drinks, milkshakes and floats, plus an assortment of soups, sandwiches, salads, sweets and ice cream. They also do a breakfast first thing I the morning for the early risers and office crowd. The staff is always super friendly, and quick to clean a table or help where they can. Basically everything is made-to-order, so you're going to get fresh food. An average lunch typically runs me about $10, a bit more if I opt for a latte instead of a pop, so the value is great too. This is definitely a place to check out if you'd like a change of pace from the fast food and pricey restaurants otherwise nearby. I understand they also do catering and they're pretty accommodating.

Fantastic little find on the way back to Calgary from Drumheller…read more This is a quaint little diner that appears to be family run. They were all warm and attentive. The photos don't look like much but the seasoning was perfect on everything. I ordered the special of chicken milanesa. It was a pounded chicken breast breaded perfectly, topped with sauteed onions, with a side of fries that I could not finish. My lunch partner ordered a small bowl of borscht, which was not very small, and a meal of perogies. The borscht was loaded with vegetables and sausage. The perogies had a perfect cheese filling and sausage on the side. Both of us had a side of coleslaw with a light but creamy dressing. I cant say enough about their seasoning. It was light but perfect. It totally enhanced the food instead of overwhelming it. This place has perfected some very good hearty recipes. We were way too full to try the pies. That is my only regret. This place is one where I would highly recommend if you are near Drumheller and looking for food. It is worth the 30 min drive

I really hope this review somehow pushes the average of Country Cousins up to 5 full stars. That…read moreit's currently at 4.5 is a travesty. This is the small town dining experience of your, my, and every respectable person's dreams. This is the place that your favourite local joint tries and fails to emulate. This, good people of Yelp, is a place you simply cannot miss if you happen to be out and about in God's country. The Mennonite waitress here was the most sincerely kind server I've ever come across. She was helpful, efficient, and encapsulated the warmth that Country Cousins emanates. Over the course of two visits, I had the Famous Iced Tea, the Mennonite Plate, the 4 Berry Pie, the Peanut Butter Pie, and the pickled carrots. First things first: I'm not sure just how famous the famous iced is, but I can tell you one thing - it's not famous enough. This iced tea would be served iced cold with my last meal. In fact, if it were my last meal I'd die happy. Is it sweet? Oh yeah. But it's got a flavour that I remember from my childhood which I just can't pinpoint. Like Pruste's madeleine, this iced tea brings you way, way, back and leaves you there long after the mason jar the tea is served in has dried up. The Mennonite plate is a wicked combination of Mennonite sausage, the finest cabbage rolls anyone could put together, and the single best half dozen pirogies this man has ever had (get the cottage cheese option). The sausage is made by people that make sausage like their lives depend on it. Meaty, tasty, filling cooked sausage an inch in diameter and split in half. Delicious. The cabbage rolls perfectly combine juicy cabbage with tasty ground beef, pleasantly acidic tomato sauce with sour cream. Yum. But the pirogies are where the sun really shines. These pan fried delights taste like how pirogies can be at their best. The dough stands out with a starchy flavour of its own, and the cottage cheese provides that cottage cheese texture that only it has, along with a familiar tang. The pirogies are dressed in a rich white sauce that probably isn't necessary but definitely doesn't hurt either. The 4 Berry Pie meets and exceeds your expectations for what small town pie can be - juicy, sweet, whole berry fillings ooze under the most buttery, flaky crust imaginable. The Peanut Butter Pie is unlike any pie I've ever had. It has a custard and whipped cream base which is essentially flavoured with peanut butter. Delicious, but a bit too sweet for my liking. Had to drown it down with that Famous Iced Tea. The pickled carrots were a revelation. Perfect crunch, perfect proportions of dill and garlic. Just a delight. Bought a jar to bring back home. Overall, Country Cousin's an absolute must-try if you're in the area. An experience you won't soon forget.

I've had four meals at Macy's and was never impressed with any of their lunch or dinner options. I've found everything to be overpriced and the portions are very small. I've never had a filling meal. For lunch one time I had a sandwich and fries meal. I believe it was a turkey sandwich: as in two pieces of what seemed like Wonder bread, with some mayo, a little piece of lettuce and pre-packaged, sliced, slimy turkey with about 10 French fries. The cost was around $14. The pizza is good, but unless you're stuck in Didsbury and have to find a place to eat, I'd recommend going just about anywhere else.

I had always wanted to visit here and heard good things, so I'm glad we came and experienced it, but wouldn't ever come back. It did take a few minutes for our server to come over and take our drink orders. I asked him a couple of questions about the menu, and he seemed like he really didn't want to be there. We ordered the grilled cheese sandwich with fries and a hot hamburger sandwich with onion rings. To drink, we just had a coke/pepsi and a water. It took a good 20 mins to get our food (again, it was steady, but not crazy busy) and as soon as I saw my meal, I was disappointed. The gravy on my burger was this dark brown, not appealing look or flavor to it. You could tell it was just a bad powder mix and it really did not taste good at all. The burger patty itself was fine. The bread that came with it, was just a white piece of bread and if it was toasted that would have made a bit of a difference. The one thing I did like about my meal were the onion rings. At least they were good. My spouse's grilled cheese and fries were decent. Nothing special. Just a regular grilled cheese. That's kind of his go to when nothing else looks great on the menu (and we just had a good burger the night before). While we were eating, I was watching the staff and the incoming clients. The diner's computer system went down, so they weren't able to put in orders or calculate a bill. They were telling clients that orders wouldn't be submitted for at least a half hour or 45 mins. The system was definitely down at least 40 mins (while we ate and waited for our bill). We asked for our bill, and our server said they wouldn't be able to give it to us for another half hour. I said, no, you should be able to calculate it manually. Especially that their debit card system was still able to process payments. So this wasn't payment issue where they couldn't accept anything. This also doesn't make sense that they couldn't take people's orders and just write it down to give it to the kitchen. I understand that an online system may calculate inventory and orders, but as a temporary solution, just give the kitchen a hand written order and then enter it into the system later. Like how did they do it before the system was installed? We ended up paying cash and left. A couple of things to note, I wish I would have ordered breakfast. The menu says it's only available until 11:30am, but another couple came in and ordered some breakfast items. I wish I would have asked if there was all day breakfast. Overall, I'm glad we visited the diner, but we wouldn't go back. The food was not good at all and it was pretty disappointing. (I don't give 1 or 2 stars very often, but this definitely was a 1 star review).

Perfect roadside stop for those camping during wetter days or on a rural Alberta travels. We stopped here after packing up from camping for brunch. Basic grill items (my cousin really loved her fish burger) and a huge variety of hearty breakfast options. I went with my classic choice Eggs Benedict with potatoes chunks (there was an option for shredded). Decent size of meal but nothing spectacular about the breakfast. Looking for simply solid food, this is the place to go in this part of Alberta. Next door is a flea market of sorts (only noticed it as I was driving away but that could be fun to check out first and then go for food afterwards before heading back to camping). I appreciated the ramp along the side of the building as the stairs up were really tough on my knees. Lovely staff and calm atmosphere within the restaurant. I'm sure I'll be back again when we go camping next year.

A small little cafe just off the intersection of the A-12 (on your way to Stettler) and the 835 (which leads to Buffalo Lake), the grill is a nice rest and good food. On my visit today, I tried the Erskine Burger, which is a 6oz patty overwhelmed with mushrooms, cheese and gravy. And it was excellent. The patty was perfectly cooked, homestyle, not a frozen thing smashed into tastelessness. The patty was juicy, flavorful and cooked right. The mushrooms held into the melted cheese were great and the layer of gravy made it a real Canadian treat! The dining area is small but can fit a crowd of about 20. The staff is very kind and answered our questions and explained everything. Prices were very reasonable and we had lunch on a budget of about 28 for two people which is very good these days. I will definitely be back. If you have a chance to visit the Erskine Grill, I strongly encourage to do so. Happy travels, and happy eating!

The soup was wonderful and thick. I can assure you that this soup didn't come from a can. It was cabbage soup with a few perogies thrown in for good measure. The sandwich was partially my own creation because you choose all the ingredients of it from the bread type to the condiments (I had horse radish, mustard and sauerkraut). There's password protected WiFi to help catch up on the latest stuff on your phone. Inside is tastefully decorated with murals and other things to keep you busy. The washrooms are downstairs so that might be an issue for anyone who is mobility challenged. This is a place where I definitely will return to if I pass through Sundre again. Note that if you prefer a cowboy breakfast of steak and eggs with fried potatoes, this may not be the café for you. For everyone else, enjoy!
