We stopped by for a hearty breakfast before we started our day snowmobiling and boy did we get that. Walking in, we were welcomed by two ladies to sit anywhere. The dining area was nice and cozy, giving a cabin like vibe. The menu had your typical items ranging from your breakfast combos to breakfast sandwich & grilled cheese options. I opted for a farmers wrap with home fries and my husband went with bacon, eggs and rye toast. My farmers wrap was delicious - it has cheddar cheese, eggs, hash brown, sausage and bacon nicely wrapped. My first bite a nice crunch to it and it was dripping with all delicious juices. Swing on by if you're looking for a nice home cooked breakfast!

Food came out pretty quickly and was delicious. Menu covers a wide variety of Latin dishes including empanadas, pupusas, nachos, tacos, ceviche, bandeja, etc. and several dishes that you don't usually find easily such as tacos dorados and chilaquiles. It was also a night where there was live music which added to the charm. Overall great experience and will be back.

We ordered the Spicy Cucumber Caesar and The Daring Appeal. The drinks were refreshing. The caesar…read moredefinitely had a kick to it and the daring appeal had notes of butterscotch candy. We also ordered the Beef Dip with Cactus Chips and Meatza Pizza. The Beef Dip was good. I liked the good amount of meat they put in the sandwich. The beef was tender and the buns were soft. They added horseradish too. The au jus needs some slight improvement. It was a bit too salty and the consistency was almost that of a watered down gravy made from a packet. The cactus chips were also salty but the creamy dill dip helped cut through the saltiness. The Meatza Pizza was delicious. The tomato sauce they used was different from the usual pizza sauces we've had. They also put a good amount of meat which makes the dish worth getting. We got a side of ranch and nacho cheese for dipping. The place had lots of seating and they had tv's at every booth/table. Our server was pleasant and both the drinks and the food came pretty quick. Overall, we would come back and try their other drinks and food option.

My family and I stopped here on our way home from the zoo. We had never eaten at a Wimpy's but this restaurant was well reviewed and the menu had something for everyone. When we entered we were immediately greeted with friendly service by Clea. I had the best strawberry milk shake OF MY LIFE! Food was delivered ridiculously fast. I ate delicious fish and chips, and the fam had vegetarian omelette, hot dog and breakfast food. My kids have never eaten this much at a restaurant EVER. I opted to box up half my meal, the portions were immense. The washrooms were spotless. I glanced in the kitchen which was fully staffed, organized and clean. I am extremely impressed and would love to return when we travel again.

Cesar salad to cool your tongue down, cold romain with house made dressing with just the right amount of anchovie for some light kick. Finished with fish and chips, light battered fillet atop a mound of fresh cut fries. Mac and cheese three with truffle oil and shallots. Flavor abounds! Fete du complete with their double chocolate brownie to end this flavor extravaganza. Wow....

When walking in - the small interior will throw you off but if the weathers right - the patio is awesome.

Seated fairly quickly and drinks came shortly after. They were missing two sets of utensils when we sat down which was odd but fixed after the meals came. We were checked on every so often though water not refilled. Food: Garden salad - iceberg lettuce, 3 slices of cucumber, some red onion and 3 wedges of tomatoes and a sweet salad dressing. Likely plates in advance and kept in fridge as they literally came out 10 seconds after we finished ordering. Still fresh-ish though. 3/5. All main dishes came with 3 slices of cooked carrot, 1 broccoli piece and 1-2 cauliflower pieces. Also comes with your choice of baked potato, mashed potato or fries. Fries are from frozen. The mashed seems to be from fresh potatoes. Salmon - pretty small piece of salmon. However, it was cooked really well with a crispy exterior but still moist. The seasoning added to the flavor without overpowering. 5/5 for flavor but have to ding it to 4/5 due to the small portion. Prime rib - surprisingly thick but likely to make up for the fact that it's not super wide. Both sides were seared well but still remained a nice medium rare inside. Some parts were more tender than others but overall pretty good. 4/5. Pork Ribs (full): Comes with 2 full racks of ribs - is a ton of food. It wasn't exactly fall off the bone as some parts did require effort. The flavor was pretty good with a sweet and garlic sauce. 4/5. Price: On the pricier side but not too bad. Looking at around 25-40$ per dish.
