That’s going to solicit a lot of opinion. My fave is TH Dang on Pembina, just excellent.

Avoid the the mashed potatoes with gravy. The gravy you’d expect a beef based broth flavour but it has a weird, almost East Indian, taste to it. Does not go with the meal right at all.
Chicken, biscuits, and sandwich are good however.
fries are meh!

I’ve had them all as well. I prefer the fries at Whip but like the Fatboi better at Zax. Never went their till this summer, but thanks to this forum did and loved it. Assembled with care!

Still a great place! The have the beef brisket burrito full time now. I like the shrimp one best freshly sautéed.
haha TH Dang is usually my go-to. Pho Hoang if im in the St James area (don't think they deliver to the south). TH Dang is really good though, just wondering if i am missing out any other gems

Hmm, maybe didn't do a good job of scrubbing the place when they moved in. It used to be an East Indian restaurant.

Going to try and order even more now, man this Covid must just be killing restaurants and bars.
We're doing it twice a week, trying to move it around as much as we can.
It's not good, I'd bet we lose 25% or more of the restaurants we have.

I love me my Dairy Whip. Its always been my go-to for a burger.
Interesting aside: my grandmother had a chance to buy it years ago. I forget the whole story.

No talk on burritos, so let me say that Carlos and Murphy's makes my favourite. I find Burrito Del Rio to be decent value as they are quite large, but taste wise they are nothing special.
If anyone wants to recommend another place, that would be great.

It's a matter of personal taste, but I would put Burrito Del Rio at, or near the top of the list. I'm guessing we could do an entire thread on best burrito in Mexico

We supported Superboys last night, that is without a doubt the best Greek burger I have ever had excellent fries also. Heads up if you go order ahead they are smoking busy! We got there at 5:30 went to order and was told our order would be ready at 7....it was worth the wait. Really awesome to see people out supporting restaurants.

Do keep in mind as you support your favourite establishments 2-3 times a week that restaurant food is for the most part very unhealthy compared to home-prepared meals. And I don't just mean the fast food burger and pizza places. Most restaurants simply use far more saturated fats and sodium in their dishes than is desirable. And while the big chains will provide you with nutritional info on their web sites (which I take with a grain of salt heh-heh but that's another issue), you have no idea what's going into the food at your typical local restaurant.
Yes, you can probably find some healthier choices on some menus but they're often not the items you think will be. Salads can be among the worst offenders. I mean, there just isn't any healthy way to make lettuce taste good IMO.
And how often do people go for "healthy choices" anyway when they dine out? It's usually an excuse for wretched excess in my experience. Hey, let's get a plate of loaded nachos to start with while we're waiting for our 20 ounce Porterhouses. No veggies thanks, gotta save room for dessert! Hoo-boy, I'm stuffed. I'll sleep well tonight barring a bout of acid reflux. Urp.
We rarely ate out before all this and I'm certainly not going to increase that under some sense of obligation to keep restaurants in business. You just can't keep eating poorly on a regular basis over an extended period of time and expect it to not have a detrimental effect on your body. Super Size Me (granted, a ridiculous extreme) showed just how easily and quickly a crap diet can take its toll on your health. And the more your overall health is compromised, the more likely you are to develop serious complications should you get covid.

Burrito del Rio is hit and miss depending on who's cooking in the back. I've had both the best and worst pulled pork I've ever eaten there. When it's on though it is by far the best burrito I've ever eaten.

Big fan of Carlos and Murphys. Awesome quesadilla and believe it or not, killer wings. My all time #1 wing. Im super picky with wings and dont like big/fatty ones. At C&M theyre smaller, crispy, and their homemade sauce is amazing. If you like some spice but not over the top, get the half and half. I could legit eat them everyday, and at 55 cents per during their happy hour you cant go wrong. Their soups are all killer too.
