✨ Must-Visit ✅ Hidden Gem Near Edmonton - A Foodie's Delight!
Just under an hour's scenic drive south from Edmonton lies the charming town of Wetaskiwin, home not only to the fascinating Reynolds-Alberta Museum (seriously worth a visit - check my previous posts!) but also to one of Alberta's best-kept culinary secrets: Huckleberry's Café. This has become our mandatory post-museum reward stop - and trust me, you'll want to make it yours too! 💰 Unbeatable Value At under $20 per person, this spot delivers serious bang for your buck. Where else can you get gourmet-level flavors at small-town prices? 🍽️ Flavor Explosions Await What sets Huckleberry's apart are their signature homemade sauces and dips - each one crafted to perfectly complement their dishes. The chefs here treat condiments with the same care as main courses! 🔥 Can't-Miss Menu Highlights 🍝 Cajun Seafood Pasta A creamy, spicy masterpiece loaded with plump shrimp and tender scallops. The Cajun seasoning has just the right kick without overpowering the fresh seafood flavors. 🥣 Dill Pickle Beef Soup Sounds unusual? Tastes AMAZING. This cult favorite balances tangy pickles with rich beef broth and savory ground beef. Pro tip: Ask for extra bread to soak up every last drop! 🍠 Sweet Potato Fries Crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, served with their legendary honey mustard dip that strikes the perfect balance between sweet and tangy. We always order two portions! 🥧 Huckleberry Pie à la Mode The star of the show! Tart wild huckleberries baked into a buttery crust, served warm with melting vanilla ice cream. Worth the drive alone - we sometimes get one to go for the road! ✨ More Than Just Great Food The cozy, rustic-chic interior features local artwork and the most instagrammable bathroom you'll ever see - walls covered in handwritten inspirational quotes that'll make you smile. Every detail here is thoughtfully curated. 📍 Plan Your Visit Open Wednesday-Sunday 11am-8pm Perfect for: • Post-museum lunches • Weekend road trip stops • Family gatherings (kids LOVE their mini sliders!) • Date nights (that pie sharing is romantic!) #YEGEats #EdmontonFoodie #AlbertaTravel #HiddenGems #FamilyFriendlyAB #CanadianFoodAdventure #SupportLocal #RoadTripEats #Wetaskiwin
