a hot dog and onion rings
Ray B.

If you ever want to take a drive out of Winnipeg just to get away. Then this is a nice spot to go to. It's famous for their hot dogs. The drive out to Lockport is nice but the food is even better. I ordered the famous hot dogs. Plump and delicious. Any topping you want. The crispy onion rings are a must too. Feel old school? Order the fries and shakes. Everything I've tried has been a winner. Great nostalgic feels. Excellent location with plenty of parking. Lockport is a great place to just chill and hang out.

Best fast food restaurant I've ever been to! Also best location if you're looking for an old looking place to chill at. Awesome there

Best hot dogs. Period. World famous. Patio on back alongside the river. Lots of parking and great food. I've been going there for 30 years.

Absolute garbage tourist trap - frozen patties, frozen fries. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place

Mrs Mikes - Cheese burger

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.

Have been going there for decades a big treat usually. Went today the food was terrible king burger…read moreburnt bun old patty fries no flavour . What a disappointment! Quality has gone down not worth the money .

Alright, we weren't planning to stop here, but it's been a long, wet drive from Regina to Winnipeg…read moreand points east, and we needed a little sustenance. Yelp inaccurately claimed that Sandy isn't open on Sundays, but as we pulled up, the "OPEN" sign was brightly lit and we knew we were in luck. Sandy specializes in burgers, dogs, fries, and onion rings. The burgers - slathered with grilled onions and cheddar - were delicious, juicy, and everything you could ask for on a road trip through Manitoba. Milk shakes were equally good, thick, chocolate-y - highly recommended. Sandy also does pizza but we didn't try it so can't comment. She's a character - when I mentioned Yelp's mistake regarding her hours of operation, she just shrugged and said she doesn't pay any attention to that sort of thing. I'm with her...!

A quick pull off on the south side of the Trans Canada Highway east of Richer and I found a…read moreglorious greasy food stand with a nice touch of kitsch. Thick Nathans's hot dogs, hand pressed burgers, Bothwell cheese, shoestring fries crispy with skin on... I had a Canadian hot dog (tasty MB burger chili, shredded cheese, bacon & crushed Old Dutch ripple chips) which was really nice. My wife's burger was stellar, thick cut bacon, melted Bothwell cheddar, homemade pickles... Also intriguing Fri-Sun they have an outdoor wood fired pizza oven... Really excited to stop again next time I drive to the Whiteshell!

Hometown Grill - Cross-section of my pork schnitzel

Tips: - Hometown Grill and Heritage Market have the same…read moreowner. - The pork schnitzel is the best. I was driving along highway 12 and noticed a sign for Hometown Grill. I was curious and looked up the address. I then headed over here for a late lunch last Monday. This eatery is located in a small plaza with a lot of parking. I backed into a parking spot and walked in. There was no one in the eatery. I waited for a woman to come out of the kitchen. She was apologetic and thought that I had waited for a long time. I hadn't. I was able to sit anywhere. She gave me a few menus. She had chicken noodle soup as a feature not on the menu, but no specials. I also got to see the regular, drink, and dessert menus. I ordered the following items: - Pink lemonade - Schnitzel plate For the schnitzel plate, you can choose to get pork or chicken. I went with the former. I also went with mashed potatoes. You can also get fries. It came with gravy and coleslaw, with a slice of lemon on top. I got a glass of water. It was cold. It hit the spot. My pink lemonade came out next. It was so pretty. It has strawberry syrup, lemonade, fresh mint, and many sliced strawberries. It was refreshing and yummy. I loved the strawberries. The lemonade provided the right amount of tartness. This drink was mildly sweet. The schnitzel plate came out next. The woman asked whether I wanted hot sauce. I was okay without it, as it came with gravy, which was perfect. I got three pork schnitzel pieces that were pounded thinly. Each one had the crispiest coating. Each piece was yummy. It was the best schnitzel that I have had in a while. Excellent! Frankly, everything on my plate was excellent. The gravy was smooth and full of flavour. I poured it on my schnitzel and mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were buttery and perfect. This dish was comforting. The coleslaw was creamy and crunchy. It was so fresh. My plate looked like I had licked it clean. Everything on it was so good. I wanted to get the Russian honey cake to go. Sadly, it had sold out, which meant to me that it must have been yummy. It wasn't on the dessert menu, but she described a strawberries and cream swiss roll. I said yes and got to take it home. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and tipped. The transaction was smooth. I went to use the washroom. It's a single stall. It was extremely clean. The strawberries and cream swiss roll was excellent. It was slightly sweet. The cake was moist. The strawberry flavour was perfect. I barely tasted the cream, which I liked. I'm glad that I got it. I loved dining here. I want to drop by again to try more items on the menu. If you're in the area, come here. It's good comfort food. (228)
