Surprisingly with
Juniors
being so close to University of Winnipeg it took me almost 2 years to get there. Maybe it’s the crowd I was subconsciously avoiding – more on this later.
To start Juniors has a damn good menu selection for a burger joint. On top of the variety of burgers they have they also have hot dogs, gyros, Slovakia, chicken nuggets and fingers, salads, poutine, milkshakes, onion rings, and a few salads. All at a very good price point!
For a nice $8.41 I got myself a fatboy and fries with a small drink. Since I had class in 25 minutes I was hoping they would put the food out quick. And they sure did – I had my meal in about 5 minutes.
The piping hot fries were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside! In my eyes, they had the perfect texture. No salt was added so the flavour was all potato. A bit of spice would have made them perfect overall.
Dripping with chili the fatboy, covered in lettuce, onions, tomatoes, pickles, mayo, and mustard was tasty. The patty had a nice seasoning but it was fairly crumbly, falling apart, along with the bun, which was clearly kept in the fridge and still kind of cold – so it wasn’t really fresh. It really did hit the spot though. There wasn’t too much to complain about when it came to the food.
The atmosphere on the other hand….
I don’t really want to get into details on what happened butlets just say that a conversation went down with people who met for the first time in years – they were cellmates. Oh… and someone else was brandishing a 3 inch blade.
Sigh. But this is a burger review. So I will focus only on the restaurant, not the customers it brings in.

Ahhh...Down town Winnipeg. Glad the food was good and hopefully made up for the atmosphere. Things were like that when I was a student at the UofW...nothing seems to have changed!
