Roy's Place

Unfortunately, I need to be honest about my recent experience. The fish and chips were by far the worst I’ve had from any restaurant. The fish was grossly over-battered—thick, hard, and overly crunchy. Inside, the fish was dry with a texture and taste that suggested it might have been double-fried. After one piece I felt sick and couldn’t eat the second; my son also didn’t finish his. Your menu claims to serve “the best in Alberta,” but based on what we received, that simply isn’t the case. I wouldn’t place it in my top 10. To be fair, I’ve had far better fish and chips at The British Chippy, Blowers & Grafton, and even from Captain Highliner at home. If you absolutely want the real deal, try Fergies fish and chips in Manitoba, it'll blow your mind. That said, the service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and prompt. Unfortunately, great service couldn’t make up for a very overpriced disappointing meal.

Stopped in on our way south for a bite to eat. All staff were friendly and courteous. Sue helped us and was prompt and attentive. Food came out quick and hit the spot. Made sure to get a cinnamon bun, which was as giant as ever. Might stop in for another bun on the way back through.

Stopped in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised from the moment I walked in—the place was spotless, with a fun, retro-inspired decor that felt both inviting and comfortable. The staff greeted me right away and made sure I had everything I needed throughout my meal; they were attentive without being overbearing, which I really appreciated. I ordered the brisket tacos and their famous pickle soup. The tacos were generously filled with tender, flavorful brisket, topped with fresh cilantro and onions, and served with a side of creamy sauce and salsa. Each bite was juicy and satisfying. But the real standout was the pickle soup—creamy, tangy, and perfectly seasoned. It was unlike anything I’ve tried before, with a unique flavor that kept me coming back for more. Portion sizes were solid for the price, and I felt like I got great value for what I paid. Overall, this was a fantastic dining experience—delicious food, friendly service, and a clean, welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something a little different!
