I had the cheeseburger, order was cooked fresh in under 4 minutes. Served a small fountain pepsi. Burger was plump, hot, fantastic pickle game, fresh cut onion, seasoned perfect. Hasn't changed since I can remember. The stand is clean inside, friendly and prompt service. I will recommend, and return.
Winnipeg Go too spot !!! Burgers are one of the best in the city. Super flavourful and juicy. Once you go you’ll keep coming back !
It's a must try. Everyone in winnipeg loves VJs. Their homemade burgers are a thing to drive for. I almost forgot to review them. Cant wait for my next trip!
I love Vjs. I work close by, everyone from my work LOVES the burgers, fries and milkshakes. I used to always get the vjs special, but switched to a cheeseburger or double cheeseburger because I get to appreciate the chili a lot more!
Great burger, and unbelievably awesome fries!
Just a few things though: the pickles were huge and a little on the unbalanced side on the burger. Almost an entire pickle on my single patty burger, but that's alright, I just took it off.
You won't find prices on their menu, but a single patty burger, a double VJs, regular fries and a milkshake were less than $30, so the prices are good.
Sadly the milkshake was not the best. I had a strawberry milkshake and it was too syrupy and tasted like chemicals.
Best burger place. Fries are amazing as well, great big portion. Very friendly people. Highly recommend. If I could have a fried egg on top the burger would be perfect.
Great Burger spot. VJ's special is highly recommended. Exterior look of this restaurant does not do it justice. Great spot to visit. Outdoor seating only. Or eat in your vehicle.
We were travelling through Winnipeg and I'd read reviews about VJ's. I highly recommend trying it out if you're hungry for a classic burger & fries. Generous portions, tasty spices on burgers and delicious fries!
In a city with several great burger joints, this one is tops, in my book. Very, very good, it's that simple. And open late. Keep it up, folks, you rock.
VJs Drive-In is one of those Winnipeg institutions. The kind of place that eating at marks you out as a true Winnipegger. Which means, I probably wasn’t a true Winnipegger until about six years ago. The picture doesn’t really do justice to the amount of fries in one order. During my time at L.C. Taylor & Co., one of my co-workers, John Platt, took me for lunch at VJs for the first time. On that occasion I had the fries and only the fries. Since then on most of my trips to VJs, fries are also all that I’ve ordered. Firstly, because they are incredibly good and secondly they are a meal unto themselves. Recently though, I decided to give the burgers and hot dogs a try.
This place has been on my radar for sometime. With the sun shinning, it was a beautiful day to explore Winnipeg.
And what better way to top it off then with a stop at this iconic burger joint. I opted for the VJ special and a side of fries.
The burger can be tastefully messy, but it is still a wonderful experience. The copious amount of fries were golden and crispy.
Judging from the size of the burger and the fries, you could certainly share this. If you aren’t into sharing your burger, definitely share the fries.
Johnny and his fam(crew) have been serving their signature delicious value for money burgers for more than 2 decades.
Their delicious chili added moist patty burgers are worth it to stop and have a fricking bite once every few weeks.
Plus so many places around to have a mini snack outside.
It's a simple menu and they are all made with a load of heart and passion.
Johnny and his crew, we love you.
This is one of few great experience I've ever have in the burger category in Wpg. I ordered the cheese burger. From the bread, patty, lettuce, pickles all are align with the hype that I have been hearing about, which is why I am curious and try it. However, the cheese burger is a tad too salty for my taste. On the other hand, the fries! The fries is awesome! No ketchup, no nothing.... just hot sauce, you are good to go! Even without anything, it can still compete with some fries you find in a casual family restaurants.
Settings: drive-in, takeaway order.
4.5 stars!
This place is cash only, unfortunately.
Got the VJ’s special with fries - no complaints. Great burger with fresh toppings, fries were copious and of good quality too, and the taste was very unique. Would definitely go back again.
Absolutely amazing, best burger I've had in a long time and I consider myself somewhat of a burger expert. I've eaten here in the past and the quality from years ago to now has increased a ton. Would give 10 stars if I could. Absolutely incredible and great prices & quanity
my little man loved the fries too!
VJs what can I say, it’s a family owned restaurant with honestly some of the best burgers in the city, it melted in my mouth and every bite was perfect, everything was proper cooked and tasted great, they gave me a free water and I gave them a decent tip for their troubles. They are friendly the staff are nice and it really has a home cooking vibe. Great job and can’t wait to go back to try more I only had a Chance to get a cheese burger but it has been my favourite burger in a long time.

Lived in this city my whole life and driven past this place countless times. Had some time today to stop in on my way through downtown, so I thought, “Let’s do this!” Coming north bound, you can’t turn left, so you just have to compensate for the roadways. Not an issue, just an FYI. Parking was good, as it seems most people aren’t there very long - just getting their food and driving off with it. Not all pricing on the sign is accurate. They have updated pricing on the hand-written signs on the windows. Cost has gone up for everything, so not surprised. Stood in line with some regulars. They were talking about how people who have lived here forever and always drive by finally stop in for the first time. I smiled and raised my hand. I said, “That’s me, today!” The server was very helpful regarding all my questions and I got the scoop on how to order from the regulars in line. Everyone was in a great mood, talking about the delicious food and the great weather.
Cash only. I ordered a ‘Special’ which is a cheeseburger with all the fixings, a fry (one size only) and a chocolate shake. I took the advice of one of the other patrons and got my fries in a box vs a bag as I planned to eat them in my car, en route to my destination and added vinegar and salt right at the counter.
Fries were super crispy and tasty!
Burger was flavourful, but the bun was completely coming apart in my hands. I had to eat it much faster than I would’ve liked and didn’t get to savour the experience. Maybe I’ll eat at the picnic tables next time, as my burger bun won’t have a chance to get too moist and crumbly.
The chocolate shake was thick, which I love. Not easy to find those anymore, for some unknown reason. They had many flavours to choose from, so I might venture to get a peach one next time.
Menu is pretty basic, which isn’t a bad thing. It allows them to process orders fairly quickly.
An overall great experience. I plan on coming back soon!
