After spending some time in the Sunridge Mall in the North East of Calgary it was time for lunch. The food court in Sunridge Mall offers all kind of foods but my choice was KFC.
At lunch time it gets pretty busy at the KFC in the mall and that meant that there are a few people waiting to get their food. When my turn to order comes up I order a Clasic combo and that is served pretty quickly even before most other people waiting.
They give you a paper cup for you drink and then you can just fill it yourself at the pop machine on the side of KFC my choice is Pepsi and the first Pepsi dispencer that i try gives me something that doesn’t even look like cola at all. So my second try is the Pepsi on the other side of the machine and I am in luck there is Pepsi comeing out at that side.
The food is OK it is nothing great but it feeds the stomach.
For me next time it will be something else at this food court. There is not much they can do wrong with deep fried chicken but still it the taste is not like I am used to from a chicken burger.

Time for lunch and this time it was McDonald’s the one on 32 Ave NE just next to Barlow trail in Calgary.
Lunch time is busy at this McDonald’s and so there is a bit of a wait for me to be helped but when I get to the front of the line my food is served quickly the service is not that great and a nice smile or kind word will not be given by the lady that helpes me.
It is a bit of a hassle to find the room for my ketchup and straw because that is where the line go’s so i need to make myself small to fit in.
There is lots of room at this McDonald’s and the area is kinda clean.
My Fish burger was as you can expect at McDonalds and so my meal is eaten with pleasure.
Not the best McDonald’s in town but still a worthy addition to my list of quick lunch places in Calgary.

Lunch today brought me to KFC close to the Deervalley Mall just on Bow Bottom Trail SE. I got here around 1 p.m. and I was the only customer in the store not much for a lunch rush I guess and that while the McDonalds next door is closed for renovations. And it seems not to be a thing that never happends because only one girl was there to do the work taking my order and preparing the food.
This KFC has an oldish look with lots of light woods and plastic boots it was clean and there was lots of place to sit.
My Classic Combo was good although the chicken burger could have used a little bit less greens it had more green then chicken.
So what is my verdict? I liked this KFC it’s not busy and that give me a peacefull lunch and the food was good. Service could be a bit better but still not to much to complain about.

A quick lunch was planned and McDonald’s Golden arch was visible so a stop was made for lunch.
When I enterd this McDonald’s that is just next to the main road in Okotoks I should have bin warned but NO i decided to go in any ways. It was busy very busy with mothers and children i guess because of the playplace that is connected to this McDonald’s but luckly behind a door that keeps the noice out.
Waiting in line doesn’t seem to matter much in Okotoks because people just go infront of you if nothing happend. When after 10 minutes or so it finally my turn to order it was clear to me the cook at this McDonald’s is just not quick enough compared to most McDonald’s restaurants. He would do great at Burger King or A&W but for McDonald’s no he is to slow and that results in lots of people waiting for there food.
Luckily the food was as you can expect at McDonald’s and that is a great things because if you are hungry you don’t want to experiment to much.
I guess next time this McDonald’s will be skiped at lunch time but any other time of the day I will keep it on the list for because the food is good and the ambiance is good to.

For lunch it was A&W and the one on 130 AVE SE in Calgary was the one that I didnt go to before so why not bring a quick visit and see how they do.
It was fairly busy at the A&W and I guess this location is great just on 130 AVE around all the shops and so close to Deerfoot trail.
The lady that helped me was new and my order of a Chubby Chicken burger meal was kinda difficult for the girl and she keep trying to give me a chicken meal and even the manger took a while to get it sorted out. Even me telling that i wanted meal nr 11 (as on the sign) didn’t make a big difference. I also noticed that the same girl messed up some more orders but a well you need to learn some where and we are allowed all to make mistakes.
The ambiance at A&W is mostly nice and so also here nice colors fresh tables and fairly clean. Although the Washrooms could use a bit more attention.
Nothing to complain about the food. My Chicken burger was good the piece of salade on it was fresh and the bun was great.
My final verdict will be that this A&W stays on my list of restaurant for when i am in this area.

Today lunch brought me to McDonald’s and this time I visited the one in the Wal-Mart that is connected to the Malborough Mall in the NE of Calgary. Like most McDonald’s in Wal-Mart they are not big but still can seat a fair bit of people and this McDonald’s and they need that because it was pretty busy here at lunch.
Unfortunately the Wal-Mart McDonald’s don’t offer the complete menu and in this case it meant no Fish burger or Angus burger for me and those are my two favorites. So today it became a Mc Chicken and it tasted great.
The service was quick and even thought it was busy in the lunch rush I didn’t get the feeling that the personal was stressed about it and that is different from most food places at this time of day.
So my verdict for this McDonald’s is good and I will definitly stop by again if I am in the neighborhood and in need of some quick food.

Today lunch brought me to the restaurant in the Zellers in Sunridge Mall.
Zellers made an nice effort to make the restaurant look nice with nice boots and a 60’s dinner kinda look. The total ambiance is nice even though you are sitting in a department store.
The staff was nice and very well prepared for their task and our orders where taken quickly and the drink serverd quick as well.
For the food to arrive it was a bit longer but within reasonalble time from ordering.
I got fish and chips and as they should it came with Tartar sauce a bit of a disapointment was that they just give you one little prepacked container like you see for jams in hotels and breakfast places and to me that seems a bit little.
The Fish and chips where prepared well and probably better then you get them in lots of restaurants.
Lets end this review up with saying Zellers did a great job with this restaurant and i was positively supriced how well they did and how good the food was.
The Zellers restaurant will be on my list of lunch possibilities from now on.

After a long day of hardwork and finding our favorite place still closed we went to bring a visit to the Halibut House a seafood and Fish and Chips shop on the corner on Edmonton Trail N.E. and 9th Ave N.E.
Halibut House has the inside look of a fastfood place and I believe that it really is one to. There is enough seating space and it nice with some fishing nets with plastic fish and some posters with fish on it on the wall.
There is lots of choice of food and I orderd the Halibut & Chips and the taste was OK the fish was kinda blend of taste but it contained real fish and not like most cheap fish places more batter then fish. The fries where overkooked and blackend.
Although I Like my fries a bit over done I don’t think that this will convice me to come back to the Halibut House.

Lunch today was at the A&W in Drumheller. This A&W is a smaller restaurant with not to much seating but enough for the load of visitors it had when we got there.
The place is small but clean with the usual A&W decor on the wall and a clean and welcoming seating.
Ordering went well but after that the wait for your food was longer then I hoped for and probably the longest I had to wait for food in a fast food restaurant.
I got a Chubby Chicken menu and I have to say the chicken was nice and crispy and a pleasure to eat. Real good chicken nicely cooked.
Would I go back to this A&W? To be honest I don’t know if I would but it would be an option next time when I go to Drumheller again.

Today lunch was done at a little dinner close to Bowness park called Angels it has a small sitting area with like 10 tables and some sitting area outside and offers a drive in to. At lunch Angles was busy and that means that if you want food quick this is probably not the place to be.
You order your food at the counter and then you go take a seat and wait for your food to arrive. The sitting area are all boots and some of them have there own jukebox but they where not working today. The whole atmosphere is nice and make you feel like you are back in the past.
The food at Angles was really good maybe the burgers look just simple but they have a great taste and that is what counts. Angles also sells some great ice cream to make the complete meal experience great.
When you are in Bowness i would say go give Angles a try!
