    To fully understand our experience at the Hillbilly Grill it's helpful to see it within the whole…read morecontext of our accidental visit to Westlock. We unintentionally ended up in Westlock as a result of a minor medical emergency (don't worry, everyone's ok). While we're waiting for the doctor in our shared room, we observe the cast of characters that Westlock has to offer. Patient number one is this old guy getting injected with a bag of blood who asks the nurse why she's wearing gloves. She explains, to his horror, that she gets a new set of gloves every time she sees a new patient. He loudly complains that this is a waste - he figures you outta be able to lick your hands and wipe them off on your pants and that should be good enough. I'm thinking, "okaaaay, pretty redneck." Not to be outdone, the next patient is a 30-year-old woman who needs some stiches and treatment for rabies! It turns out that she's an old timey fur trapper who got attacked by a wild animal while dragging a 75-pound beaver through the woods. As it happens, the emergency room doctor who was treating her is ALSO a fur trapper so the two of them ease back and start swapping fur trapping stories. Once we were done, we notice that it's nearly 7pm so we ask a nurse for local restaurant recommendations. She sends us to a "place that looks pretty sketchy" called the "Hillbilly Grill" - by now the terms "sketchy" and "hillbilly" do not come as a surprise. When we arrive downtown, we see that the restaurant is located in what looks like a 100 year-old western hotel. Apparently, someone in the 1970's decided to "update" the building and cover up the classic brick with stucco. This 70's style architectural vandalism continues inside the building as I witnessed the interior décor from 1974. I'm thinking to myself that now I know why God had to create a place called Hell. Our experience completely changed when our meal arrived. We get the brisket and the pulled-pork sandwich and I swear to God that it is the best southern-style barbeque I've had this side of North Carolina. Nothing in Edmonton or Calgary touches the high quality of food I had in Westlock. It was tender and moist with just the right hint of smoky flavour. Simply outstanding! While we were enjoying our meal the owner came out to shoot the breeze with us - a 47 year-old man with a crushed cowboy hat, plaid shirt, shorts, and socks with sandals. He tells us this story about how his restaurant got broken into by a local meth-head. "Turns out it was Donna, you know - the lady who owns the bar across the street? Turns out it was Donna's son Larry! I even took a picture of him as he was riding away on his BMX bike while flipping me off. Actually, I kinda feel sorry for the guy. If you're a middle-aged man living in your mama's basement still riding your BMX bicycle around town - then you probably should examine the choices you've been making." Ladies and gentlemen...Westlock, Alberta! If you're looking for some amazing food at a reasonable price with a truly authentic redneck experience you can do no better than the Hillbilly Gourmet Grill in Westlock.

    Oh. My. Dear. Lord…read more Last time I was here I split every dessert on the menu with a friend. Worth every calorie. Today I thought actual food may be necessary, and as I have been craving fried chicken, I figured I would give the chicken and waffles a chance. Presentation: the skull sold it for me. Anything that makes a dish stand out makes me happy. Flavour: The chicken breading was so crisp and perfectly seasoned! No chain can compete with his recipe. No dripping grease, just wonderfully juicy chicken. Dare I say, it was moist. In the best way possible. And the waffles? Wow....just wow. Fluffy and delicious. Price: So this massive portion - which is just as generous as all of the portion sizes - comes in just shy of $17!!! Leaves a little money for dessert, if you have room!

    I am struggling on what star rating to give this. It is a truck stop and everything in it screams a…read moretruck stop. Boring outdated decor. Typical burger/sandwiches/old peoples menu. Think roast beef dinner, liver and onions, pork chops, veal cutlets etc. However the staff were friendly and quick. The food was fine. Nothing bad. Nothing to write home about. However, if you need a hot meal (as we did) this is perfectly adaquete place to go to. Prices are super affordable. I ordered the beef dip with salad. Kiddo ordered a BLT with onion rings, Hubby orderd the Iron Horse Double Patti Burger and little one when with just an order of fries. Food came out quickly. And it was fine. I would say that I was a little disappoined in my beef dip. There should have been onions sauteed with the roast beef or something or maybe horseradish added to it? It was bland. And my bun was squished. But my husbands burger looked juicy and he said it was delicous and my daughter enjoyed her BLT. If you like fries these are hand cut and my kiddo gobbled them up. I wouldn't come here intentionally, but i would say that if you are on the road and need a pit stop this would be as good as anything else on the highway.

    During our travels we always need a pit stop because we've had far too much coffee. Found this…read morelittle place. It looks like a cabin. When you go inside it smells like fresh bread and has that cabin/cottage charm. You'll be greeted by a kind attendant. They have a restaurant inside looked like they served subs and make their own bread or at least smells like they make it. The washrooms were clean but whoever designed the stalls must have been very little because your knees (and I'm short) will hit the door. The door nearly hits the toilet. That's kind of bizarre. But I'll take a clean washroom with a door issue versus something stinky and unkept. So that's minor. They also had a variety of goodies you can choose from like most convenient stores but this one was warm and charming.
