Willy’s was awesome. A real shame they’re all gone.

Does anyone know why Willy's went out of business? They used to be a pretty big player in Calgary and seemed to hold their own against the big chains, then they all just disappeared.

Really, I didn't think it had been that long since I was around there but I guess it must be.

Many hungover brunches there. Switched to Treasures of China after realizing that I thought the food was better and the price still pretty good.

I remember going to Bob's Hamburgers when I was in elementary school in Calgary. I think there was one around the Willow Park area maybe? First root beer milkshake I ever had.

They didn't really disappear. They just repackaged themselves as Buffet Yangtze after way too many health inspection violations....

Yeah when people say Foody Goody, all I think of are AHS violations...

IIRC AHS shut them down once because they found a dead cat in the kitchen.
