Major's Homestyle Restaurant — Restaurant in Grande Prairie

An 80 year old grandfather had traveled 6 hours with his daughter and grandson to see his son and granddaughter. "Where can we go for supper?" he asked his son, a Grande Prairie resident. "Let's try Major's," said the son. "They always have something on the menu you'll want."

7 mouths, 7 levels of hungry, 7 different levels of taste between the ages of 13 and 80 yet there was something on the menu to satiate everyone.

The portions are large. Very large. For around the $20-25 range per person, you will receive enough food to feed you that meal and have leftovers for the next.

The atmosphere was peaceful, familial, comfortable.

Above the atmosphere, food, affordability, however, had to be the service. Tracy, very much an adoring grandmother living with her 3 year old grandson, treated you like the good ol' days when you'd walk into a family restaurant for a piece of pie and they'd call you by name and pour you coffee right away. She acknowledge the youngest in strength of form, a growing boy needing a hardy meal. She acknowledged the eldest who'd likely enjoy the good old fashioned home fries as his side. She kept an eye on coffee and was quick to the draw with menus and order taking, as was the kitchen with service, I might add.

Having to head back to three separate homes and one hotel room after supper, we dilly dallied after supper, catching up and laughing, enjoying our time together. Tracy not only never rushed us, but made us feel as comfortable as if we were at our own kitchen table catching up.

If you have to feed a good chunk of hungry people on some old school meat and potato menu choices for less than $25 each in this economy, this is your place. Comfort, food, price and service. Remember this is the Major's Homestyle and Tractor Jack's location in the Paradise Inn on the West side of town over by the Home Depot area in town (but on South Side of street).

If the pizza chef is there ... I think his name may be Nazam (small world, but he knows a friend of ours and son from back home, 6 hours away, by the same name) ... ask him to see the $1.00 beer menu from 1978 ... just to help that punch of inflation REALLY hit home.

Oh, and to Tracy's daughter ... you only live once and you're only little once and you only have a Gramma or two or three once. Treasure the memories. Years from now, you won't remember that Gramma never said no and your son knew it, using it against you 😂 ... you'll only remember how much they loved one...

Absolutely terrible. Only way to describe it. I felt very bad for the poor waitress. Realtives staying at the hotel for the weekend invited family for supper. 9 of us showed up. No one else in dining area. We had two children ages 9&11. We all ordered off menu. Food never came and never came. Waitress apologised and said that the Skip the Dishes meals were taking priority. So we who took the time to come in and dine waited. Finally one person's dish then another and another. After a 20 minute wait the food stared to appear. Then it took 15 minutes to get all of the meals to the table. Burger and fries, potatoes skins, kids pasta beef dips (2) and that's it. Kids had to wait till the very last. We all waited for them to get their food. Beef dips were small, course cut beef and small amount. No gravy. No veggie of any kind anywhere, French fries were good but very small quantities.

So obviously I would not recommend this place to anyone. Only good thing is we will never be back again. 8 of us from Vancouver Island ,. Up here in GP for a funeral.

I felt bad for the one brother that lives here. Poor guy was embarrassed..

Next time will go somewhere exotic like. Mc Donald's . At least the food is...

I guess don’t try to eat here if you have any kind of food intolerance or allergy… don’t get me wrong, I know my allergies are very extreme but as someone who manages a restaurant, I know how easy it is to accommodate and offer SOMETHING to a customer who can’t eat from the menu… The server was trying her hardest and she was so kind to try and get me food, and the manager came out and put me in tears with a snappy “so you’re allergic to the whole menu, why would you even try to eat out.” And continued to put me down over something completely out of my control, making me like a huge inconvenience and just stupid. No offer for even a plate of fries or something, just a go eat somewhere else. So I sat there while the rest of my friends ate because they already had their plates, and cried in front of the entire table because I was so embarrassed . The server did come and apologize and tried to make things right but I’m baffled and definitely...
