This was the best restaurant I have ever been to. The portions, the atmosphere the quality and flavour in the food is beyond anything I’ve ever had. The quality and care they put into making this food truly goes a long way we were visiting from Ontario and we will absolutely be back for the chicken wings!!! Ate too fast to take any pictures. If they have the brownie, definitely get it!!! Biggest portions you could definitely split anything.
This place is amazing! Can’t beat the food. Atmosphere is good too.
I had their Reuben Sanwhich! Thee absolute best in the west!!! Came on a fresh nicely toasted ciabatta bun - Loads of meat, smothered with a thick layer of melted swiss.. perfect amount of saeurkraut, dijon, and dill pickle. 10 out of 10. Can't wait to eat there again!! Highly recommend! We will be back. Sending love, and appreciation- from Drumheller. Lise, and Jake Fortier.
I eat here very frequently. The food is consistently very good and the portion sizes are generous. Staff remember your name and your preferences. One of the things that I really like about eating here is that the salad dressings, soups, sauces and pastas are made in house. The dinner special of the evening is always really good. I’m really grateful to have this great restaurant in such a small town.
Excellent food and service. The lunch menu is primarily sandwiches, they all seem to be great choices with many options. I have yet to try the supper menu. Nothing fancy for the building itself, but it has nice large washrooms and the place is clean. Plenty of parking available.
Just the wife and I we ordered shrimp scampi, crispy fried mushrooms and each had a chopped Italian sandwich. I loved all of it!! I will certainly be a regular. Can't wait to try the take out pizza!
This hidden gem is a must visit when near Beiseker. We booked a table for 11 friends we were camped with. Everyone loved the food. Generous portions allowed us to have take-out for another meal. Excellent food and service. Highly recommend!
A hidden gem that completely exceeded every expectation. Tucked away with classic diner charm, this spot delivers food that easily rivals fine dining. We ordered a little bit of everything and I genuinely can’t pick a favourite. The wings were flawlessly crisp with bold + addictive flavour. The steak bites were melt in your mouth tender with a beautiful crisp edge, bathed in luscious cowboy butter. The pappardelle & meatloaf and gravy was unbelievably rich and comforting…that gravy deserves its own award. The meatloaf and mashed potatoes tasted homemade but elevated with incredible depth of flavour and quality. The burger was perfectly juicy and well seasoned, the kind you can tell was made with care. And just when I thought it couldn’t get better, dessert arrived. The brownie was decadent and gooey with the perfect crust with chocolate chips and the cake was the perfect sweet finale to an already unforgettable meal. This place is pure culinary comfort with heart and soul in every bite. It’s the restaurant I’ll dream about when I’m back home in Ontario, the kind of food that stays with you long after the last forkful. No pics; ate too fast!
