My husband once said that this place has the best fish and chips in all of North America. I didn't believe it. But on a trip to Winnipeg and back we stopped at this place. I can confidently say that the fish and chips here are truly the best.

I took my daughter to the school in Toronto from Calgary. This place gave me the best foods throughout this trip. I visited alone once more when I came back to Calgary. Young people are working here and it looks great. I had fish & chips and cheese bacon burger which are so amazing.

We stopped here during a road trip for some lunch and we're blown away! The small fries was a formidable portion, and the $7 poutine was MASSIVE!! I'm a huge poutine fan and the one here was excellent! A generous portion of delicious cheese curds, and really tasty fries! Initially I thought the gravy was a bit on the light side but it grew on me quickly and tied the whole meal together perfectly! Would recommend anybody driving by stop here!
