“ One of the BEST places in Portage La Prairie. The food is always amazing and they make the BEST baked potato soup as per my niece Hazel. We went there after a long absence and we had a great visit. We even lucked out and Hazel was able to get the last bowl of soup, so she was extremely happy. The only thing we didn't do was ask the name of our wonderful server. She was so funny and adorable and she interacted with us like we were the most important people in the world. So I hope she is still there next time. ”
