Yesterday I took the kids to The Keg for lunch. When we dine at the Keg it is usually in the evening, however my daughter had her immunization, and we let her pick what restaurant she wanted to go to for lunch. As we were sat I noticed there were no other kids in the restaurant. Also there were no other women. Just us and ever other table was filled with 2 men. Surrounded by tables of men on business lunches I was very thankful that I have such well-behaved children. They quietly ordered their lunches and we proceeded to have a lovely lunch for four. I tried the chicken club and spinach salad. I have had the spinach salad before lovely as always, the chicken club was good, I really liked the addition of avocado. My daughter ordered the BBQ grilled chicken, which came with roasted red peppers, asparagus and French fries so I was pleased with the addition of vegetables. The kids, they were pleased that the kids meals come with ice cream at the end. So for a quiet mid-week lunch meal, I think The Keg is the place to go!

Arby’s -Calgary
Yesterday was a day to stay home and relax, and not be driving on the crazy snowy roads. However, we had church and my daughter’s birthday party, so instead of staying home safe and sound, we were kind of out all day. In Canada, that’s how we roll, although I not going to lie, there were quite a few stressful moments. After church we headed to Arby’s for lunch. Arby’s was my second job, that I had during high school. I still love the food. Always a good sign I think when someone who works there is willing to actually eat the food. Although the location that I worked at has closed, there are still a few scattered about the city. My personal favorite is the Philly Beef’n'Swiss. Roast beef, Swiss cheese, fried peppers and onions. Delicious, and of course one can never go to Arby’s without having an order of the curly fries. So on the cold and snowy day we found a nice little place to be, where the whole family got to enjoy the food, and each others company.
Extreme Pita-Calgary
Sunday lunch. We were on the lookout for something close to our church (in the Northeast), fast and healthy. My husband is still a bit under the weather so eating a big greasy burger and fries, wasn’t the best idea. So off to Mr.Sub we drove. It was closed. I noticed a sign for Extreme Pita, in the next parking lot over so we made our way over. It is right by McGavin’s which I like to buy all my bread at, because at 1.39 a loaf for the nice it’s a price that can’t be beat, plus there is a bulk barn in the parking lot as well, and bulk barn is always a good time. Anyhoo onto the lunch, the kids meals are great, for 4.99 you get either a pita, or pita pizza, cookie and small milk. All the kids loved it! My pita was pretty tasty too, and I continued my love affair with Tzatziki and got a grilled chicken pita. All the ingredients were fresh and everything was made right in front of you, so I must say we were all pretty pleased. For a family that rarely goes out for pita, I venture a guess to say that could all change!
Buffalo Wild Wings
I have been wanting to try out Buffalo Wild Wings since I saw that it opened, so the family and I finally made it out on Sunday. This restaurant definitely has the sports bar feel with loud T.V’s all around you all playing different various sports channels, but it also has kid’s menus! The kids all loved this place, and unlike their parents, actually ordered the wings. I thought kid’s meals were pretty well priced, for 4.49 you get a choice between wings, chicken fingers or cheeseburger all with fries, however, a drink is apparently not included as we discovered when we got our bill. My husband had the burger and was really quite thrilled with, even proclaiming it to be one of the best burgers in the city. I was quite happy with my buffalo chicken wrap that came with tortillas and salsa. All in all we had a wonderful time, and will be returning for sure.
