That sucks. They had a great happy hour.

Looks like Prego might be closed for good. They've taken everything out of the restaurant and the interior sign is gone.

Any suggestions for great take out in Canmore?

Going there on Saturday for a weekend getaway from the kids... I was thinking something like a place that has good bbq chicken options for the wife and I could do burger or steak.

May not be exactly what you are after but I've never had a bad meal at Crazyweed.

If you want to actually go for dinner Tavern 1883 has a nice patio and great food. Not sure if they do takeout though.

We settled on getting Mio pizza on the drive out.

Mio Pizza is my favourite pizza on the planet. Gimaldis included.

Can't go wrong at the Georgetown Inn.

I love Workshop but that is just too far to go for takeout. Hope to dine in soon.

Is that the one with the light bulbs on Center St N?

What’s it like? I’ve driven by a few times but never tried it

I always get the pecan pie or (if it was offered) Praline Ice cream. Best two southern deserts.

I looked it up, the big AHS inspection kerfuffle for Nellies was 10 years ago. The fact they got past the health violations and made it another decade is admirable I guess.

In my younger days, we would go to Nellies for hungover breakfast probably 6 times a month, so on a sentimental level, I feel a little sad.

But I haven't been to Nellies in probably 15 years... Ever since I came to realize the food was absolute crap, so on a practical, "I'm going to miss eating there" level, I feel completely indifferent.

I think there were 2 at one point on 17th... The main "cosmic cafe" and I seem to recall one around where Rocket was, Clive Burger, etc.

Kensington

Oakridge

4th Street (now where Lululemon is)

Marda Loop (was my go-to)

Edit - google tells me there's one on 7th ave DT too.
