Their server Jaden is awesome, she was patient with our order , has very happy and smiling personality, very attentive and fast. Thank you! We'll definitely go back again.
Great Sals location with fast and friendly service. I enjoyed my bacon bacon nip thoroughly. It was delicious and filling. Our server was also very friendly and attentive
March 2023 I wanted to try this restaurant as it has been in business since 1931, and known as a Winnipeg institution. Large menu, and great prices. Not a fancy place, but the food is good. Nostalgic interior with posters and memerobilia everywhere. On the menu is a 'silver' section for meal deals for seniors. For 15 or less, you get a non alcoholic drink, your meal, and dessert. That's quite the deal. Our waitress that day wasn't the best. Non attentive, and unfriendly. At one point, we thought that her shift had ended, but she for whatever reason was not serving us anymore. Weird! Yet, we then saw her working behind the counter. We had to ask a different waitress for the bill. No asking us if we were interested in ordering dessert. They are also known for their wafer pie which is like flapper pie. A graham wafer crust with a custard filling topped with meringue. Upon leaving, perhaps the Manager, was super friendly, customer oriented, and made up for the negative experience with our waitress. We enjoyed our meal, despite the poor service, and our exit because of the Manager. I love restaurants with a history like this one. Not too many like this place exist.
Great experience!! The food was sooo tasty and the server threw in a free piece of pie because it was our first time. Sides and fries and drinks were perfect. We stayed until close without realizing it and she was so sweet until the end and didn’t force us out at all.
As a Winnipeg institution as it gets. Decided on the side of chili instead of gravy, so thick and tasty great to dip my fries in. Homestyle coleslaw and I saved my double cheese nip with extra fried onions til last. I wanted to savour it but it was so good it was gone in a couple of minutes. I only wish they were still open really late like the old days. So much on the menu sometimes hard to decide.
Great place, I was on holidays in Winnipeg for 4 days and ate here 3 times. Lol
Mr. Big Nip is classic! My husband's first time going to a Salisbury House as he is American. We ordered the chocolate dipped donuts slightly heated to start....I love the Cheese nip as I like grilled onions, and I always add in an extra sals sauce for my fries! I even like their coleslaw. For desert, the classic Red Velvet cake and the wafer pie! Thank you for not changing your menu and always serving up delicious food!
