You know what's weird....I've never had a BAD meal at a Joey's or earls, that I can recall. I dont hate it.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
It’s never bad no. But certainly never amazing
They source decent steaks which is never a bad in my books.

Bill's Peking House and M Palace are good options for more authentic HK style Cantonese Chinese food (that's the good stuff). I say HK cuz you don't really want mainland China style Chinese food lol

I think you’d be hard pressed to find many people that have left Calgary. I can only think of a handful that I grew up with, lots even eventually returned back as well.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Was pretty close to moving out east for a period (after the “divorce”) as at least I know a fair amount of people out there; but after weighing it all out, still tough to beat Calgary
I am the worlds biggest defender of McDonald’s for that reason yes. I am damn thankful it exists.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Bow Valley Ranche and Lake House are both good for sit down.
Brewsters in McKenzie for pub food.
Mexican: Tu Tierra on Bonaventure Drive
Nepalese: Taste of Himalayas in Midnapore
Indian: Raj Palace (Riverbend or Midnapore)
Sushi: Haru in McKenzie Towne
Chinese: Riverbend Peking House
It's all relative, I think there are good options around but we do venture outside the quadrant a lot for food too.
I go to McDonald's because it's good AND it's consistent.
That's probably the most frequent take-out I've had in the SE, maybe tied with Edo.
Also agree. Always $3 too much. Always good. Never excellent. Often talent.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Edit - partial proof is the Earls in Willow Park surviving while the Moxie's across the street died.

Someone mentioned Plaka’s this used to be my go to for Greek food in the south, the wine selection could use an upgrade but food wise, it always delivered. This was at their original location, in Shawnessy I haven’t been to the new location, same owners I believe.
Went with some co workers years ago to Karma (Indian). I think it’s in Mackenzie towne or somewhere around there in the Deep South and it was pretty good.
Good to know. Imma check it out. I love greek food.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Karma is in south trail. It's good.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Bonavista Peking House has always been good.
Brok'n Yolk in Cranston is excellent.
Y93 Sushi Crave in Midnapore is so good.
I MAKE BALLER CARS MORE BALLER.....
Some alternatives
Burger: South Street on 130th
Viet: Tini Vietnamese in Seton
Sushi: Kinjo in Mahogany
Chinese: Ken's by Glenmore Inn
Breakfast: Rocky Mountain Flat bread on 130th
Other?: Cow town beef shack in McKenzie Towne is alright
Saw bowtie pizza mentioned, it was meh for me when we tried it, an alternative to the chains is Jon's Pizza in Douglasdale

Raj Palace (recommended above) is much much better Indian food. Give them a shot. The Riverbend location is small, so a quick lunch isn't likely but the food is worth the wait.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
this is awesome to know. I will check them out.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
