The burger place has never let me down.
Agreed! It’s amazing!! 🍔❤️
I call it the burger palace
@@paulplett drive out to portage and try Jimmy's. 100% guaranteed
Gotta add:
Super Boy's
Johnny's Marion Restaurant
Dairi-Wip Drive-In
Red Top
North Star Drive-In
"Original" George's Burgers and Subs (St. Mary's, McPhillips, etc.)
Lotta options. I guess you can only eat so many burgers in a day. Hearing "possibly the best burger I've had all day" in a sentence is pretty hilarious.
Wow, great suggestions! Thanks for this list! I’ve got to check these places out!
Red Tops quality fell off a cliff after the dad then son passed away, and the new owner took over.
@@fartmcbart3742 I disagree. Was there only a couple months ago and it was top notch. Give it another shot.
@@paulplett I co-sign North Star Drive-In
I second Dari whip, they have amazing fries too!
Subscribed. I've never seen another Winnipegger on my feed before.
Thanks for the support!!! ❤️
I’m from Winnipeg too I guess this popped up cuz I am
@@SelenaBrandt Woohoo!
I'm glad you included Cindy's. It's near my old place and I was a regular there for years. Great food & great people.
100% agree! I love Cindy’s, and they’re always so friendly to me! ❤️
I saw your post on Reddit and subbed. I live about an hour out of the city, and get there occasionally. I would love to see a 2nd burger review video. I suggest George's be reviewed. Your videos have great production quality, look forward to the next upload on whatever you do!
Thanks so much for the support! I definitely love George’s burgers as well! There are so many great burger places in Winnipeg!
The White Top Drive In on Salter Street has pretty good burgers.
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve got to check that out!
A.K.A The brown spot ,Do to the state of your shorts after.😂
@@user-zn1bm7ll1x i agree, pricy and sad...
The White Top does everything delicious..
I loved this - this shows four of my favorite places in the Peg. My leaning is probably Vjs - but Burger Place is also very worthy.
Thanks for sharing!!
Awesome! So glad you liked the video! Thanks for the support!
Try next door to vj .. ( Johnny G's ) there fat boy is made with smash patty and has 2
. Johnny gs poutine had me in a chokehold from 2017 to 2019 lol, must have gained 15lbs from them.
@@cadavher 🤣😂…how are you doing today?
@@paulplett still fat, but trying to resist getting hooked again LOL
I live in Minnesota. Just gonna watch this. Good for you. I used to go to Canada back in the 70s.
Some BS political reason stopping you from coming back?
Our entire country has changed since the 1970s.
The Burger Place rocks!
Yes it does!
Zax Drive Inn on Henderson hwy has good burgers and great fries imo for those in the North/East Kildonan area. Menu has plenty of options for those who don't want a burger as well. Great chicken strips with honey dill sauce & onion rings.
Prices are similar, $8.45 for a burger, $4.90 for fries but you get a good amount. It's "budget" for what you get compared to any fastfood burger chain & better.
Thanks for sharing! I’ve got to check that out!
Burger Place (both Portage Ave and Main St locations) is my go to!!
Amazing restaurant! Love it! ❤️
I don't disagree with the Burger Place, however you need to try George's on St.Mary's Road, the Burger Factory on Nairin, Superboys on Main St., Dairi-Whip on Marion, Zaxx on Henderson, any Sals Nip and last but not least Juniors on St. Mary's Road.
Wow, great suggestions! I’ve got to check all those places out!
@@paulplett Mrs Mikes in St. B, just reopened, but menu is the exact same apparently.
I agree with all except sals. Also to bad blondies is closed now.
@@ValiousTV Now that was a great place. Blondies was there for years.
Oh oh oh no no no you said Burger Factory and well it isn't as bad as but you also said Juniors. Please have your taste buds tested and buy some new glasses too.
I've been eating VJ's super burger for forty years or so. It's my favourite in town. Daly Burger on Corydon was excellent when Gus owned it, he sold it recently and the new owners seem to have kept to the his standards. Try the 'Greek' Burger, is excellent. Super boys on Main just north of Inkster does a fine fat Boy. Sadly Mr. Mikes on Tache over in St. B. is gone now, it too was excellent. Thanks for doing these great videos in and around the 'Peg. As an aside, if you like fat boys, "Jimmies" in Portage la Prairie claims to be the originator of the fat boy , their's is not bad.
Wow, thanks for all the information, plus the kind words of encouragement! I’ve got to check out ‘Jimmies’ in Portage La Prairie!
Mrs. Mike's was open last week.
@@marleneprokopetz1857 awesome, on my next trip into town, there WILL be a pilgrimage. 😁
Daly Burgers for sure
Nice video man keep up the great work makin me crave for burgers
Ha! Thanks for the support! Burgers are delicious! 🍔😋
I’m the guy from Reddit that’s subbing, great video! Keep up the great work!!
Aww, thanks so much for the support! ❤️
Great job brother. Peg city stand up!
Thanks so much for the support!
Yes an institution. Klekis on Main where Dollarama is now was another. Sixty years plus had tué retire.
What burger shop on Keewatin. Not the burger factory but East side where there's a convince store now.
There is one last Burger Factory in Winnipeg on Narin avenue. Kind of hidden in a strip mall. Lived the ol Logan and Keewatin location.
Wow, thanks for sharing a bit of the burger history of Winnipeg! ❤️
Breaks my heart the sisters did not simply sell it to someone who would have kept the spirit alive. I loved that place. Wonder what became of all those photo's
Upon watching your video, my wife and I just went to The Burger Place at North Main and the Perimeter! It was fantastic! Cannot recommend it more. Plus that price! And they’ve also done a great job on the decor.
Aww, so cool! Glad you liked The Burger Place! Thanks for the support & encouragement! ❤️
Great video! Have you had a chance to try out Dairi-Wip's Fat Boy? I too am looking to find the best local burger joints that have excellent options under $10 for just the burger alone. Dairi-Wip and North Star Drive-In come to mind!
Thanks for the support! I didn’t actually try Dairi Wips fatboy, but it was highly recommended by a few other folks as well. I’m sure it’s a great one, and I’d love to give it a try! 🍔❤️
Thanks for the reviews! Just subscribed your channel too👍
Thanks so much for the support! ❤️
I worked for Brinks back in the early 90’s. Brinks are (still) located in the back alley right behind this wonderful institution. I used to love going in there after my shift. Their burgers were fantastic, and the box of fries with some salt and a few splashes of vinegar was a great way to end my day. If I ever go back to the ‘Peg, I’m definitely stopping by VJ’s.
Wow, what a great memory! Thanks for sharing! VJs is absolutely amazing for any occasion! 😉🍔❤️
Loved VJ's. Used to slip out working evenings downtown and cut up a block to get thier burger. However it's gotten pricey and unfortunately for the second year in a row I asked for no onions. They repeated the order and yet raw onion on my burger.
I can not stand raw onion. It changes the flavour of the burger. At $14 for the double special I can get rotten Ronnie's to serve a burger without onions.
Cindy's is a go to.
Price's are very reasonable and the burgers and the foot long hot dogs are great. They will fry up onions on request and that carmalised flavour is top notch. If you want to compare try the burger thing across the street. Blech and yet costs more!
Favourite burger, best in town was The Master Burger at the Thunderbird on McPhillips but when John cooked it himself. Wow.
John Ginakes opened the restaurant in 1957 if I was told correctly.
My father hung out with his brothers as a teenager. I went as a child and have taken my child now an adult to the Thunderbird. Grandchildren and great grandchildren of the first customers still go.
Btw Johnny G's
John Ginakes.
The son opened the business on Main street.
I guess I was guilty as I was taken to the secret spot and took others later.
Outgrew the location and took over the Rolling Stone Cabernet.
They were so busy they needed a second location. Carlos and Murphy, Olive Me moved in to the Main street building and couldn't make it work.
Johnny G's made this second location the first location. Further to cement they family legacy Peter and Jimmy Ginakes started the Pont Corral restaurants.
More over John's father started a fish n chip Restaurant in the 1940s over a bowling alley on Donald st.
The Canada building.
Manitoba Housing has offices there today.
The bowling alley and restaurant were destroyed in a fire.
They build the original Thunderbird on St Mary's and Dakota.
Sold it and moved way out on McPhillips. Jefferson Ave was a gravel road back then
They had a restaurant you may remember as well on the lot next door Uncle John's.
Later Perry I think bought the a franchise for The Rib Shack. Moved to Toronto for a while. He is back and owns the Pony Coral I think the Narin location.
Family! They all have very good burgers!
That first Burger looks insanely good.
It was sooo delicious! 🍔❤️😊
Burger place has good burgers ! I havnt been there for awhile but ya its good!
I have been a Patron of the Burger Place since 1979... that is a whole lot of burgers in all those years.
Wow, good for you! Have the burgers changed much over the years?
Superboys didint make the cut?
Ha! Not this time! If only I had more time & money! 😅
Never had a bad meal from burger place on portage. Love their mushroom burger...
🍔❤️
So glad you went to Dairy Delight!! The Greek Burger is my go to with chili cheese fries!!
Wow, that sounds delicious! I’ve got to try that next time! 😉
The Dairy Delight one looks awesome! 🍻🍻
It was absolutely delicious!!!
Kingburger from Mrs Mikes... same family as Dairy Delight, but the burger is better!!
Normal meal when i go there is Kingburger, strawberry shake and fries with chili... you won't be disappointed
Try Zaks on Henderson Highway
Thanks for the suggestion!
Man those burgers look good! 🤤
You should consider adding timestamps for each place to your vid!
Thanks, great idea!
I think the ultimate burger at Cindy's is the double cheeseburger. But even better, get some tzatziki sauce to dip your fries in.
Ooh, what a great idea! I’ve got to give that a try!
Subscribed you. Winnipeg's vlogger. Good luck for your channel
Aww, thanks so much for the support! ❤️
@@paulplett 🙏🏻
You should go to Alberta,haven’t been in Winnipeg in years.Good video
Glad you liked the video!
The King Burger from Dairy King on Tache between Marion and Horace. My personal favorite. Don't know if they are still open..."
Heavy burger, heavy tasty burger.
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve got to check that out!
@@paulplett I used to work at Bounc'en Good Times, located right next door to the burger joint on St. Anne's Road. Rick might have sold the business's since. Had many fat juicy burgers from there.
Very much still open!!
@@realmaxpower That's great to know! Appreciate the reply. Try the King Burger people! Tell them ocnblizzard sent you ha ha ha! You won't regret it! I'm relocated in The Pas, so will have to come on back down..."
Jonesy’s in Birds Hill is worth the cruise
Ooh, thanks for the suggestion! I’ve got to check that place out!
that first one looked so effin tasty
It was! In fact, they were all soo delicious!! 😋
Best budget burgers: ‘Make it yourself’ 😀
😂🤣so true!!! 🍔❤️
@@paulplettits good to go get burgers from fast food once in awhile 👍
Most of the burger places in Wpg are basically the same. The little joint on Sargent, to the place on Henderson, they all seem to be Greek., or Greek at one time. The burgers at most places seem to be seasoned the same..."
Gotta love those Greek- inspired burgers!🍔 😉
And all with the same chilli sauce right 😅
Burger Factory used to be the place, the one that used to be on Keewatin and Logan back in the 80's was close to home. But the fries turned out to be better than the frozen processed patties..."
What is it with Winnipeg putting chilli on their burgers?? C’mon!!
Best burger place in my books is North Star Drive in.
🤣😂 thanks for the input! 😉
Bro all these places charge regular prices for burgers and they are still not under $10 for each burger. North Star Drive inn on Mcgregor near the military depot still has awesome burgers and great shakes under $10
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve got to check that place out!
Agreed. I enjoy their blue cheese burger. Lot are hesitant bout that one but the ones I convince love it after 👌
Superboy’s, Cindy’s and George’s my top 3
I’ve gotta check out Superboys!
Darn I was hoping you would have included a place I have not tried yet. I’ve had all of these and would say they are all very close in taste. The price is the selling point for sure. Regardless I am a George’s burgers and subs man. Gotta get myself some chilli fries with my order. And maybe a milkshake if I am feeling like a glutton haha!
Ha! George’s is awesome! Gotta love those milkshakes too! 🍔🥤
It's interesting. We don't have a lot of independent burger joints here in Orlando. There are a few but It's mostly chains. Looks like Winnipeg is the opposite?
Interesting. Winnipeg definitely has a lot of chains as well, but we sure do love our local independent burger spots. Thanks for sharing! Greetings from Winnipeg! ❤️
Winnipeg also had local chains from one or two families which each had a falling out. One he didn't include was George's. I think there were 5 at one point. One decided to make a different recipe (with chunky sweet/dill pickles) and they were the first to close. Some family wanted to open another but some were opposed, so they were kicked out. One of those is now Henderson Burger and Sub (my go-to, but really I can get that burger still at any George's). They still all use the same buns and the same recipes. I believe Cindy's was one too. Definitely the same bun. From what I understand the same happened with Junior's.
I consider all of these great budget burgers. Look at what you get at McDonalds for almost the same amount.
Wow, thanks for sharing! That’s so true!
I’d say the best fat boy in Winnipeg has to be Vj’s with Dari-Wip being a close second.
Ooh, great choices. Thanks for sharing!
Low Key ...Dougies in Kildonan Park is pretty tasty.
Ooh, thanks for letting me know! I’ve got to check it out!
i quite literally grew up on burgers from this place, going to high school across the street. you knew these burgers were the fucking shit lol
Ha! Yes, those burgers are delicious! 😉
Dairi-Wip Drive-In is a good place if you havent tried it, arguablly once the best burgers in the city
Fun fact about VJ's, the place nextdoor had 2 people murdered inside! 😅
😬
You mean at johhny Gs
You were so close to st. James burgers and chips.
Ooh! I’ve got to check that place out!
@@paulplett not budget burger but best burger for sure
the burger place is awesome but you missed the BEST burger joints in wpg. try super boys on main at inkster,dairy whip on marion and white top on salter .
Thanks for the suggestions! I’ve definitely got to check those places out!
How do you do burgers in Winnipeg and not hit up Superboy's?
😂🤣 gotta hit them up next time! 😉
Super Boys' for the win Paul!
Nice I have been on a burger kick for the last two months and have been doing the same, ill hit all these places in the next two months
Awesome! What places have you tried so far? Any worth checking out?
@@paulplettOn Regent I recently did Georges Fatboy with chilly meal, so it was $22, burger was probably $12, ok taste but the Chili was just a salted meet paste.
Then Dairy Queen Flamer 3 patties,, very meaty, $13, so small tho, won't be back.
Wayback burger was very tasty but every other patty was still red. $12
Dal,s burger was very very good, chili too, meal was 25$ so about $14 for a double fatboy
Next will be dary whip
Great to know! I hope Dairi Whip was good!
Dairi Whip Fatboy is the only burger that should be on the list
😂😅sounds like I’ve got to check that place out!
Walk across the street to Jonnies next time, trust.
@@MindShackleFilms I’ve been going to Jonnies since I was a kid. Their burgers are nowhere close to dairi whip!!
Not a budget burger, but try a Demetrious burger from Georges. It used to be a secret menu item but got so pupular they just added it to their regular menu. It's basically a Georges fat boy but a tripple.
Wow, that sounds intense!
Havakeen in Eriksdale, worth the drive nothing like it in Wpg!
Wow, thanks for the suggestion! I’ve got to check that out!
I agree with the ratings here. You just can't make a fatboy that's less than a 9/10 and still call it a fatboy. We got some of the best burgers in the world in our city. Take pride in it because we don't got much else.
Gotta love those fatboys! 🍔❤️
My go to is Daly Burger. Love that you ate all these burgers in one day 😅
Mmm! I love Daly Burger!
And yeah…this was too many burgers for one day. 🤣😂
Super Boy's on Main has to be one of my Favorite Burgers in Winnipeg. You gotta do another one of these and try that one. And a Winnipeg Burger review of Fatboys aint a review without Juniors. Im not a massive fan of Juniors but thats just a Winnipeg Staple imo.
Great suggestions! There are so many amazing burger places in Winnipeg worth trying! 🍔❤️
Kinda low key tasty ...Dougies in Kildonan Park
Thanks for sharing! I’ll have to check that place out!
S and s burger is a good time
Thanks for letting me know! I’ve got to check that place out!
Dairi-wip and angelos chip shop hands down have the best fatboys in the city
Sounds like I’ve got 2 more places to check out! 😉
New York Burgers if you're on a budget just look at their menu
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve got to check that place out!
@@paulplett 100%. 7.45 for a double fatboy. Their double bacon cheeseburger is killer too.
Great video....we go to New York Burgers on Notre Dame for our fix of burgers ,fries and milkshakes .
Sounds delicious! I’ve got to check that place out!
"Budget" and "Winnipeg." Aren't they synonymous?
😂🤣
Do all burgers in Canada come with chili on them? I love chili because I'm from Texas but in Texas, if a burger has chili on it it's called a chili burger. Not all burger places offer chili for their burgers.
Thanks for watching!
No, not all burgers in Canada have chilli on them. Here in Winnipeg we have the Fatboy Burger which comes with chilli on it. Most local burger places in Winnipeg have a variation on the fatboy burger, and it’s very popular around here. So I wanted to try a few of these variations for this video.
What’s your favourite burger?
Sorry to say you missed out on one of the best burgers in Winnipeg. The King burger from the former Mrs Mikes/Dairy King in Norwood. Unfortunately the owners got too old and closed up. You could try Dairi Wip or Red Top though, also in St. Boniface.
@@paulplett In my neighborhood (Portland,OR area) I like Five Guys Burgers. There are a ton of burger places in the northwest.
@@intentionaloffside8934 thanks for the info! I definitely want to try a few of those spots!
@@1952creswell We have 1 Five Guys here in Winnipeg. Their burgers are great! Portland must also have a bunch of other great burger places!
That was a good video
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it!
Have you tried vjs
I absolutely love VJs! Great burgers! 🍔 ❤️
Georges burger on regent
I’ve never been to that one! I’ve got to check it out!
I find these burger places can be so much better if they used a better quality bun. Most or dry and fall apart. I just make smash burgers at home or splurge on a bigger one here and there (529 Wellington and Nola are great).
Thanks for sharing!
Mrs Mikes for a king burger. Best in Canada or world. no joke.
Wow, I’ve got to check that out!
I remember when I moved to Winnipeg about 5 years ago. I went on a burger adventure for the best fat boy. I heard that all these fat boy places George's, Superboys, dairi-wip and maybe a couple others were all originated from VJs. They had a dispute and the family or management branched off and opened all these other places. Superboys being my favorite.
Wow, that’s fascinating! Also…I’ve got to check out Superboys! 🍔❤️
@@paulplett part 2?
@@b.j.heinrichs1954 I know, right!? Maybe a 'Best Fatboy Burger in Winnipeg' video?
@@paulplett that's literally my idea I've had. But never took the plunge to start a yt channel. I say it's good, local content. Maybe look into that lore I mentioned, see if it's even true?
vj's used to be, now its zaks on henderson...double bacon cheese for 11 buck...
Wow, I’ve got to check that out! Thanks for sharing!
You've got to try Daly Burger on Corydon.
I used to go there all the time! Actually it was on the list of places to go for this video.
If only we had more time and $$. 😉
Winnipeg is greek hamburger heaven. They're all great some better than others. It all started with Juniors in the 1960's and took off after the main street location sold and Junior franchising started. He eventually returned as VJ's.
Wow, what a great history! Thanks for sharing!
@@paulplett I forgot to mention that the original Junior's sold Buckeye Root beer. It was way better than A&W root beer. Haven't seen it in i think in 45 + years..
Super boys is the best. Just had one today
Mmm, I’ve got to try that! 😉
What's the address of this place again?
The Burger Place is 1909 Portage Ave.
Jimmy’s in portage la prairie. Get the house special.
Mmm, great suggestion! I’ve got to check that out!
@@paulplett Bro, Portage is a bypass. It's literally why we built a bypass. So you don't have to go into that shthole 🤣🤣
You forgot so many other places……
Suoerboys
George’s
Willi Dogs
Five Guys
Red Top
Mr Beast
St James burger
Outside Winnipeg but still close:
Nicks Inn (technically Headingley)
Headingley Grill
Ha! So true! Sounds like I need to make another video! 😉
Thanks for the suggestions!
I love hamburgers to buddy my name is Nick David Hagen
Awesome, me too Nick!
Think you Paul for responding to I appreciate that buddy Nick Hagen
super boys
👍🏽
Dairi Wip Fat boy pickles on the side lotsa chilli....... Say No More
That sounds delicious! I’ve got to check it out!
Dude you dide this all in one day?
Sure did. That was a lot of burgers for one day!
From Reddit, looking good!
Two things:
- Lighting/Color feels like you need to turn up the vibrance a bit? At least in the low light/cloudy shots
- Sound is a bit off
Other than that great job
Thanks for the support! I’ll definitely keep these notes in mind!
So where are the budget berger places? Just curious. You got up to over 10 bucks quick.
That’s true. Burger’s aren’t as cheap as they used to be! 😉
@@paulplettYes. But just a burger 🍔. For 8, or 9, I'm thinking cheap, but some fries?
Best burgers in Winnipeg!
100%
Needed to try George’s on ness
I love George’s! Great suggestion!
So all burger joints practically get the same rating.
They were all so good! ❤️🍔
No mention of "The Red Top" on St. Mary's Road. The basic Top burger is great and comes in at less then $7.00.
Ooh, great suggestion! Thanks for sharing!
Good video but your rating system is terrible.
You started so high there is no room for a phenomenal burger. You should have been between 7.5-8.5 for those burgers.
Ha! You’re probably right, I just love burgers too much! 😉
Hey i like the content your doing about our city.👍 i think you need to be a little more critical on the reviews
Ha! Thanks!
For me,pickles 🥒 on a burger 🤢..Pickles out of a jar😋😁👍👍
Ha! To each their own, I suppose. 😉
How could you skip New York Burger ??
Ha! I don’t know! I’ve got to check that place out sometime. 😉
Burger factory is unreal! 🔥
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

If you like filler in your meat🤮
It absolutely used to be!
The best burger is in Russell at Connie's drive in.
I’ve got to check that place out!
The Burger Place
Dari- whip
Superboy's
VJ''s
It's all about the chili
These picks are in to particular order.
It just depends on what area of the city I'm working in.
Ha! Yes, thanks for sharing! 🍔❤️
Not a budget option but wayback burgers are awesome. State and mains "main burger is also delicious"
Thanks for the suggestions! I’ve got to check those out!
@@paulplettthank you! i’ve lived in Winnipeg my whole life and i’ve never had from any of these places! new things to try this summer
I wish Fuddruckers was still around.
😂🤣
Just saw this now...9 months later...The price due to inflation is now $13 LMAO ( maybe not all of them ) !!!
Aghh!! Oh nooo!🫣
Thanks for sharing! 😉
WHAT! No Mrs Mike's on Tache??
Ha! I’ve got to check that out next time! 😉
You're too generous with your ratings. 3x9/10 is too much.
