"Came here at a recommendation on my day trip to Drumheller and it was good! They did have a sign saying they were short staffed but I honestly didn’t even notice! The service was friendly and decently quick and the food came pretty fast too! Prices were really good for the food that you get. Great atmosphere too with trains chugging along overhead!!! A must try if you’re in Drumheller!"
