"Fantastic place! The food was delicious, the service super friendly, the atmosphere fun, and the prices very reasonable. We love the trains and the dinosaurs theme."

Libier Gómez Gallegos

"This is a neat little restaurant, a hidden gem. The portions are great. They have the best onion rings, and the chicken superb burger is just that - superb 👌. Highly recommend visiting. Their menu has quite the variety, burgers, sandwiches, breakfasts, Mexican foods, Italian foods, and Indian foods."

Yarn Ville

"Came here at a recommendation on my day trip to Drumheller and it was good! They did have a sign saying they were short staffed but I honestly didn’t even notice! The service was friendly and decently quick and the food came pretty fast too! Prices were really good for the food that you get. Great atmosphere too with trains chugging along overhead!!! A must try if you’re in Drumheller!"
