Got a DQ chicken fingers quality, but was charged $21.50 for it. And $3 extra for vegetables without knowing there was an upcharge until the bill arrived. They can have the money but I won't be giving them anymore (won't be back). And felt like they must be rationing water as the waitress did ask once, but didn't bring it.

It was a little bit of a boring atmosphere. It was very cool in the air on a very cool day outside. I ordered the French onion soup which was $10 and it was so small and had no onion taste. The server was sweet though I just wish she had a realize we were all wearing our jackets and hats.

I was aiming for the Much famed Alberta steak but I have a feeling what I got wasn't what I had in mind.
