Three of us came in for a sandwich at 1pm. First thing we notice is a very basic menu, now that's…read moreperfectly fine if the sandwiches are above and beyond. We order and we are met with we don't have this, we don't have that (today only brown bread, no turkey etc.). We order something else, no problem. The sandwich I got had thinly sliced ham 2.5 slices in total. I literally ate a mayonnaise tasting sandwich. I took two bites at the park and tossed it. Why I won't ever go back? It was the sandwich sure but more so it was the dismissive responses we got from the sandwich maker (female). But the cashier, a petite older lady, she was as sweet as they come. Never going back.

Overpriced bland crap put together by people that can't cut a straight piece of bread.read more

The Drayton Valley bakery serves amazing baked goods and sandwiches at unbelievably low prices…read more Because of this it is dangerous. Chocolate Chip Banana Bread was only $3.50. And the super-fresh donuts are only 75 cents. They also serve sandwiches, which I haven't tried, but will the next time I'm back in town. The bakery is located in a historic building and feels like a time warp in a good way. If you want to eat inside, there's a couple of tables.

We were looking for a place to get a quick lunch and then spotted Violet Mae's Bakery. As soon as…read morewe walked in we noticed the white board with various menu items such as sandwiches, soup and one type of breakfast sandwich. I ordered the breakfast sandwich with ham and my wife ordered a BLT. I also ordered a coffee. While we were waiting for our food we looked around to see what else is available. There were two fridges for frozen meals that could be taken home and reheated. There were some basic groceries such as eggs as well. Of course, being a bakery, there were lots of breads, buns and pastries. Our orders didn't take long, but since there are no tables everything was to go. That's okay, I can eat in the car. My wife said her BLT was especially good. My breakfast sandwich was very filling but also tasty and not messy so it was easy to eat in the car. My coffee was not so great. It tasted like what I often make at home. That is something that Violet Mae's could improve on. However if you are passing through town and looking for a place for a quick lunch to go, or you need to pick up some bread for later, this is your place. It's only a block from the highway and near the west end of Whitecourt.

My daughter ordered a grilled cheese sandwich and it was made of processed cheese. It didn't look…read morevery appetizing. My wife and I had chicken salad sandwiches. They were okay but just two pieces of bread with chicken salad inside. It was not grilled. This is mainly a coffee shop so if you come for coffee and maybe some baked items you should be fine. This sure doesn't replace the Funky Fork than closed 2 years ago. They did have a steady stream of customers though. I think that if they up their game in the sandwiches and general food area they could be a destination for those who don't want to visit another chain café. I did enjoy the coffee though. I would give them a 1 or 2 for food quality and a 3 or 4 for the coffee quality. The gift store has a metaphysical theme so if you are into that they have lots of things to browse through. Until subsequent reviews indicate that the food has improved we'll only stop here for the coffee.

There were no fast food restaurants on our route to Hinton for almost 2 1/2 hours after passing Red Deer. Service was nice and friendly. The guy who took my order recommended that I get the Double Teen burger. My wife got her usual chicken burger. Although I'm an old guy, the teen burger was the perfect burger for me as it came with bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles. The chicken burger? My wife said she had better. A&W was a good place. Stick with the root beer and burgers and you'll be fine.
