Just G's Chipstand — Restaurant in Dryden

This is a must stop if you are passing through Dryden!

We stopped here on our way from Thunder Bay to Winnipeg. It’s the perfect halfway/lunch stop, right on the main drag through town.

I got the bowser burger (double patty, double cheese, double bacon) and fries. It was absolutely perfect. Nice big patties, made fresh every morning, cooked to perfection. The bun was great, and the bacon was thick and delicious. The fries were also fresh, tasty, and salted to preference!

The owner is a very friendly man, who has over 40 years of cooking experience. Along with his son (who attended culinary school), the two of them run an amazing operation serving hundreds of people a day from April through to October. This is definitely THE place to stop in Dryden.

The atmosphere is also fantastic, with picnic tables, umbrellas, lights, and a washroom. Together service was extremely quick. It is worth mentioning though that it...

This is the place to go in Dryden when it’s open! Dang the burgers and dynamite here! I was waiting to get some good pictures of the food to do my review but I am going to do it anyway. Gary the owner is one of the kindest and most hardworking people I know. Don’t ask him his age but he is much older than he looks lol 😝 He’s very young at heart and loves to have fun and talk to people. He has been cooking for many years and runs his kitchen very well. Everything is really clean and organized. They have seats and picnic tables in front of the stand. Gary plays music and it’s a great atmosphere to enjoy a meal outside. Everything there is outstanding! The portions are generous and they load the cheese curds on the poutine! They also serve ice cream for those hot summer days. You can’t beat the prices here. The value for what you get is the best in Dryden. Check this place out,...

This is a must stop on the journey between Winnipeg and Thunder Bay. If you are departing from Thunder Bay, don't leave too early as they only open at 1130, but the food is worth the wait.

I had the chicken rancher wrap and my spouse had the poutine. Both portion sizes were large, big enough to be a meal on its own! And the flavours of both were excellent. The wrap wasn't too saucy that it was dripping, but saucy enough to give it the ranch kick, with fresh vegetables it was perfect. The poutine was made in the traditional fashion with the gravy going on last. The fries were cooked to perfection, the curds were fresh and the gravy was just salty enough to let the natural flavours of the gravy come out.

I look forward to my next visit, potentially even worth a day trip...
