Good food, good service, unique atmosphere. I’ve heard the fish and chips is supposed to be excellent here, although we didn’t try it this time. Otherwise, the food was quite good and came out quick and super hot.

The restaurant is attached to a mechanic shop, and the smell of the shop carries into the restaurant. This does not affect the food or anything, but if that sort of smell bothers you, you may want to be aware of it before coming in.

We would recommend this nice restaurant to everyone. The food, especially the fish and chips, is just so delicious. The service is very friendly and the decor is quite original. It is worth the detour.

Perfect place for lunch. Very retro old automotive garage theme. Burgers made from local beef as well the fries are made there from potatoes they cut themselves- and are crisp and not salty! Pulled pork tacos are awesome as was the burger my husband had. Just know that you have to pay for and add the tip before you order your food. Service was excellent.

Definitely one of the most unique restaurants I have experienced - built out of a former auto mechanic shop the decor is spot on from checkered floor to toy cars, look close enough to notice all the wall art are puzzles. Oh yeah…the food is amazing as well! Hard to imagine fish being the star of the show at a small town Alberta restaurant but that is the case - DO NOT miss the fish and chips OR the fish tacos!

First time here - coming from the East Coast of Newfoundland, this cod was great! Handmade fries were good and the tartar sauce was the best. Atmosphere was top notch and the service was quick and friendly. Highly recommend this place for its fish- especially for cod on the prairies.

Friendly and helpful staff.

The building history is on display; very cool to look at and read while waiting for your food.

No AC...we were lucky to score a table under a fan during a heat wave.

Fish coating was amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and fish tasted fresh, tartar sauce was good, fries were standard fare.

My spouse said the burger was nothing special and he didn't like the bun, it fell apart as he ate.
