Winnipeg News | Clues | Reviews
I dropped by Juniors downtown yesterday to review the Fat boy for our ever popular lunch reviews section.
Unfortunately the burger experience was overshadowed by this guy:
He kept asking ‘Why are you dancing?’ and other shi~ that only Winnipeg’s finest can throw down.
But don’t worry… I’ll try again soon.
Keeping the lunch reviews in view; I decided to eat at The Fyxx on Broadway @ Donald.
This place is a floor to ceiling dining experience. a.k.a. big windows to watch the freakz and douchie’s that make up the cultural mosaic of downtown Winnipeg.
I ordered the chicken wrap w/a caesar salad & a regular coffee. Since I’m a nice guy I threw a $2 tip in their for the hard working staff.
Total cost: $14.79.
hmmmmmm…….
This better be good shi~.
I realize a good lunch with real ingredients is gonna cost some $crilla, but adding on the 35 cent debit card fee is kinda tacky.
But that’s just the cheapo Winnipegger in me.
The office can d1ne for $62.99*^!
Prices aside; How was the food:?!
Powering lawyers & bureaucrats since 2001
ITEM A ::: The Wrap:
Alright. There is a lot of chicken; its tender; its in a wrap. My socks are still firmly attached to my feet.
ITEM B ::: The Salad
Pretty good. If you’re watching the lbs you’re looking at some extra time on the stair master, so try the garden salad.
ITEM C ::: The Coffee
Pretty bad. For a place that makes it’s name & signage off the concept of a coffee bar; horrible. Tasted burnt, like it had been on the element since open. Opt for a fresh brew Americano or some shi~.
Conclusion -> My Clue in…………………………………………………………………….
This place is aimed at the higher spending office crowd. Office Joe Whitebread might think it’s awesome, but for the price and the “meh” flavors I’m not sure it’s worth it.
Score: 6.66 / 10
Here’s the deal: Lunch for $5 tax included.
As the friendly young lady working there put it: “People don’t like to deal with change”.
You get:
First off the pizza; what have you sold yourself into here?
Chicago Phils offers about 6 different pizza’s each day. There’s always vegetarian pizza options as well as a truly loaded pizza party for carnivores.
The pizza is pre-cooked, then oven heated when you order.
Non-bi(h)odegradable container is optional. Tell them you want a paper plate
A word of caution: The food is hot. I burnt the inside of my mouth beautifully.
Hours later I was pulling sheets of burnt dead skin out of my mouth.
Anyway, back to food…
The pizza is hearty.
They seem to use real ingredients.
I was full when I had finished eating.
Don’t fool yourself into thinking this is a gourmet outing, the food is good (not mindblowingly great).
It’s nice to get out of my windowless office cell and feel like there is some space:::
A little foggy (due to that harsh winter shi~) but a break from the office all the same
Bottom Line: If you’re downtown :: Try it. It’s a good cheap lunch.
