I don't eat fast food much, but when I do, it's usually A&W for burgers.

Without a doubt, the best burger I've ever had was at 'The Cattle Baron' (used to be Oscar's) just behind the sheraton off barlow in the North East. It's lik 6.95 for a fantastic burger and fries/salad. Make sure you give it a shot!

P.S. Welcome BACK :thumbsup:

- Fudruckers 2/3 pound burger with bbq sauce and bacon.
- In & Out Burgers (US chain).
- Charcoals burger barn (11ave, 4th st SW)

Fast food, Wendy's beef best but A&W has the excellent seasoning.

Burger Inn and Willy's. All others are pretenders :devil: I have found DQ burgers to be quite acceptable though. Very comparable to A&W/Wendy's burgers.

Rocky's Burger Bus

Supposedly people travel from all over the world to eat the thick AAA beef burgers that are cooked in an abandoned Transit bus. :drool:

The atmosphere isn't really great, it's in an industrial area and there are alot of wasps.
However, sometimes there are motocross bikes doing cool jumps on a nearby hilltop. :clap:

peters used to be really good, but im really not that impressed with their burgers of late (last couple years). I concure with jeff though. Harvies is good. Also, Swiss Chalet has some freaking good burgers too. Its wierd as they mainly do chicken, but damn i like those burgers. It might have something to do with the fresh toppings though. Fresh tomato, spanish onion, pickle, etc. Ohh, its like the difference between taco time and the lowely taco bell.

They make really good food. Their poutine is awesome! Their burgers are some of the best I've had. Unfortunately it's just a few blocks away so I have their food a few times a week.... The guy who owns it (family run by Koreans) is a really funny guy. Always trying to make people laugh with his impressions and voice.

Other than that, I prefer Wendys and the occasional McDonalds now and then.

Rocky's Burger Bus is #1 for me, just a big ass burger.

CB's Drive In is also really good, plus if time it right all the high school girls are getting out for lunch (I'm going straight to Hell)

Late at night with near empty pockets you can't beat a Wendy's junior bacon cheese burger, what it's like a $1.37?

after moving to calgary from winnipeg i have yet to find a decent burger in calgary.

some of the places to find a great burger in winnipeg...

- Mrs Mikes on Tache (their "King Burger" is HANDS DOWN BEST BURGER IN NORTH AMERICA)
- Georges Burgers and Subs (ask for a "Fatboy")
- Dairy Whip
- Burger Factory

I like the White Spot as well. The real franchise from B.C. , not that the Fake White Spots we used to have here in Calgary. The new one on McLeod Tr is a legit one.

Triple O's (White Spot's Fast Food Burger Joint) is pretty good too. None in Calgary though.

Wendy's Burgers suck, they're always soggy by the time I get home, and I hate eating in fast food places. Burger King chicken sandwich and Mcdonalds McChicken Sandwich are good, I'd still consider them burgers...

Dairy Queen makes good cheap ass burgers for when you're broke...

Burger inn :drool:

Earls and Joey's for burgers is sweet, except lately Earls has been pretty hurtin.


I think Peter's tastes pretty good, but it always makes me sick.
