1	Mon May 26 13:30:21 2003	Alberta	Lethbridge	Peking Gardens Restaurant	7.60
	The 8.99 lunch buffet on Saturday was small but good. A good variety of food - the bbq pork stirfry was tasty. We also enjoyed the dry ribs and the chop suey. The soup was a light broth with bok choy. A nice change from the usual wonton soup served at buffets. There was also a small salad bar included with the buffet, which contained a nice marinated vegetable dish as well as the usual green salad. The spices were good and the food was fresh. There was no aftertaste as is the case sometimes with buffets. Would recommend it.

2	Mon May 26 13:22:41 2003	Alberta	Taber	Ken's Restaurant	7.00
	The hashbrowns here are tasty - crispy. The mushroom and cheese omelette was quite good - fresh mushrooms, but unfortunately processed cheese. This restaurant looks a little rough from the outside, but the menu looks consistent with a small diner, with a pleasant server and containing several locals that are known by name.

3	Mon May 26 13:17:18 2003	Alberta	Drumheller	Bridge Greek Restaurant	5.00
	Excellent food at this location. The moussaka is wonderful, the pizzas are delicious and the salads, lamb and shrimp are great. The sad part about it is, when you look around at the dirty counters where they hold the glasses, and you hear the talk in town about the cleanliness of the kitchen, it is hard to eat there. A family-operated restaurant, their is a table at the back that the family sits at and basically watches you. The only time they seem to not see you is when you are trying to get their attention. I try not to be too harsh, because the food is really very good - if you just try to close your eyes and pretend that you are sitting in someone's home and wouldn't care about what's going on in the kitchen or the ambience, then it will be a very good experience. However, if you are sensitive to any of the things mentioned above, or like your servers to dress appropriately for serving food, you may not be able to get past it.

4	Mon May 26 13:11:00 2003	Alberta	Drumheller	Smitty's Family Restaurant	4.20
	If you are expecting this Smitty's to live up to the reputation of the chain, you will be disappointed. Service is slow and unfriendly. "Special requests" are not taken well and the food reflects it. Clealiness of the kitchen and food do not have a good reputation. Unfortunately, the restaurant receives a lot of traffic because of their location and the name. Undeservedly so.

5	Mon May 26 13:08:17 2003	Alberta	Drumheller	Corner Restaurant	8.00
	This often overlooked restaurant has excellent Greek food and the best pizza in town. Their chicken dishes are highly recommended. They have spruced up the inside and it looks quite good. The service is slow but sure. No privacy in the restaurant, it is quite small and you can hear and see everyone.

6	Mon May 26 13:04:52 2003	Alberta	Drumheller	Whifs Flap Jack House	5.80
	If you have any problems with smoke-filled restaurants, do not go here! There is a small non smoking area but it is in the back and the smoke still fills the entire restaurant. They would do well to make it completely non-smoking or have the smoking area in an enclosure. Once you find your way past the smoke haze to your seat, you will note a toy train track that is suspended from the ceiling. It is a good diversion for the little ones, a bit of a novelty. Food-wise, it is primarily the breakfasts that the place is known for. The flapjacks and waffles are great, as is their omelettes. For lunch, the burgers and fries are very good. I recommend the chicken teriyaki burger, easy on the sauce. Their salads are not worth the effort, and their is very limited items if you choose to eat "healthy". Service is often slow and the servers crabby. Perhaps more staff are needed in the busy summer season.

7	Mon May 26 12:59:37 2003	Alberta	Drumheller	Stavros Family Restaurant	7.40
	Excellent steaks and pizza. If you are looking for a meal that is comforting, this is it. The French Onion Soup is very good, as is their salads. Their appetizers are mainly too deep- fried or odd (the mushroom caps were not stuffed, the filling just put over top of all of it and cheese on top of that). Service is not always consistent, sometimes very slow even when the restaurant is not busy. It really depends on the server you receive. Quite expensive given the size of the town and the portions. The ambience is one of the best in town, comfortable booths and tables.

8	Mon May 26 12:50:31 2003	Alberta	Drumheller	Sizzling House	9.00
	Excellent Szcechuan, Peking and Thai food. The service is pleasant. There is a buffet for lunch thoughout the week which is consistent and has a good variety. The menu items are varied. I highly recommend the Tom Yum Goong soup which is the best I have ever tried - Vancouver, Richmond and Coquitlam included. The Pau Pia (Thai crispy spring rolls) are amazing - perfectly crispy and light outside, with very tasty filling. Also good to try are the satay, ginger beef, garlic chicken and panang kai. Spiceness can be chosen for your dishes, ranging from mild/medium/hot. The only recommendation I would make is to have combination meals for one person, and to include brown rice on the menu. It is a small area, no privacy whatsoever - but the food makes up for it.
