Or just excercise....it says it would take you 253 minutes of aerobics to burn off the Fries. Get out the old Richard Simmons sweating to the oldies

Okotoks is God's Country, and where all the cool people live....

Had the bacon cheese burger on Tuesday for lunch with the wife. She had the cheese burger. We ate a bit early (around 11:20 or so), split a regular fries, and we didn't finish them all.

Pretty damn good burger I'd say.

Went today for our first experience - almost had to drag the hubby because there was small line up. Well he has been very grateful to me ever since and thought it was a great burger. I had the veggie and cheese sandwich and it was lip smackingly amazing. Good fries - big portions.

I went a few months ago and was somehow skipped after placing my order. After they realized my order had been missed somehow I got a coupon for a free meal.

That being said, I don't think I'll be going back a third time simply because I found it too expensive.

For me, I'd rather pay $3 extra for a burger and fries for a damn good burger rather than a Baconator (which is my favorite fastfood burger), to me it was worth it. The Baconator combo is $9 compared to $12 at Five Guys (with no drink though). I totally understand what you mean though.

I was there today and the lineup was crazy (it was during the 2nd period of the Flames game). Not a place to sit down anywhere and there were about 20 other orders ahead of mine. Very good burger though.

I went a week ago and it was the most food I had eaten in one sitting in well over a year, mostly because I've been on meds that limit my appetite. I was entirely sick by the end of it, but damn it was surprisingly good.

I went on Thursday with my wife and kid - wife was rather unimpressed ("yeah, it was ok"), but my kid inhaled his burger and a good chunk of the fries. I liked the taste of the burger, and the choice of toppings is pretty great too.

I'll definitely go back. My kid will be happy at least!

This is why I sneak in a bottle of Dr Pepper when I go (this will be harder in the summer), that and their burgers and fries are amazing with Dr Pepper, moreso than the Coke products they have.

This is why NA is so fat!

That picture looked amazing. I knew one opened in Lethbridge, but I subsequently forgot. I'm going to have to check this out in a couple of weeks. Currently on a diet as part of my training for a half marathon, but I usually lighten up for the weekends, and if I'm going to eat "bad" food, it might as well be as delicious as possible!

Man oh man, that was a really tasty burger. I couldn't tell you the last time I had a burger that nice.

I ordered the Cajun fries and they were just meh - not a really big fan of soggy fries.

My last order was a big soggy, but for the most part they are crispy and fresh.

We went to the deerfoot meadows location last night. Best burger I've had maybe ever. Messy as fata so its definitely not a burger to eat in your car. Had to be the plainest fast food joint, even chicken on the way has nicer decor.

Drunks slumped against the railing don't constitute "decor".

I honestly don't remember those. I think it may have something to do with the fact that when I go to C.o.t.W I can barely bring the menu into focus, let alone the pictures. Yes I am one of the drunks on the railing. What are the pics?

Their old logo was kind of racist, you'd have to see the pics to know what I mean.
