This place definitely lived up to its hype! The food was fresh and sooo filling! Our server was friendly and you could tell she really enjoyed her job. We waited a while for the fried chicken but it was worth the wait! And our server let us know that it would take a little longer. Overall I absolutely recommend this classic diner! Just make sure you go there hungry!
Best fried chicken restauant I have ever been to! Friendliest staff, awesome chicken , fantastic prices and portions ....really what more is there to ask for , except to live close enough to walk to each day ��
The Red Top never disappoints. Seriously, the best burger and coleslaw in the city! Even my kids love going there. Great value for great food!
Very friendly staff, clean and yummy food, fast service, and excellent portions. You are treated like family here and the food is amazing. The chili is so yummy! The Greek salad is full of flavour and the fries are perfect! Definitely a must try!
I’ve been hearing good things for years, so I dropped by for dinner tonight, and it’s all true. The fried chicken was really good, and the super-server waitress had even warned me it would be half an hour for the meal. It was near capacity, so, fair enough. It was only 20 minutes, tops. Smart, smart service. Good prices, generous servings. Top-notch eatery.

There’s something about the Red Top
that makes it extra special. What stands out is the service and feeling of community that comes from being a decades’ old neighbourhood institution. Staff care - they’re genuinely invested in ensuring your meal is right and to their long upheld standards. And the thing is, other customers care too. Every time I go, there’s friendly banter, smiles all around and a feeling of belonging that permeates the place. It’s just a happy, welcoming place. Plus there’s a well-maintained touch of nostalgia from the beautiful Thunderbird parked out front to the sign boards over the busy kitchen depicting some of the burgers available.
Menu includes all the standard burger joint options, then some, all done right. They offer some interesting, changing deluxe burger specials that you might need to dislocate your jaw to chow down and platters with heaping portions of salad and fries, Greek favourites like gyros, etc. Sign in the back says they’re known for “the best fries in the city” and I’m apt to agree. Crisp outside, tender inside and hand cut.
The greatest greasy spoon in the city, hands down. You won't convince me otherwise! Have a strawberry milkshake with your brunch if you're feeling indulgent!
the food is good and the prices are decent. I went for a burger and my husband got a gyro. There are better burgers to be found in the city but as a casual diner this place is alright
If you go to Red Top Drive Inn, get the fried chicken! It is excellent. The burgers, and other dishes are good with huge portions, but the chicken is awesome.
I eat burgers at 3 places in Winnipeg, Mrs. Mikes, VJ's and Red Top. Red Top is consistently great and a first class burger experience. But Red Top is more than just burgers. Their pressure cooked chicken is amazing, chilli and chips is top drawer, decent salads and other fare. It's has a classic drive in feel and is worth the trip every time.
In all my years living and growing up in St. Vital, I had never actually visited the iconic Red Top. Don't get me wrong, I loved the place regardless... on its highlight corner, with its iconic sign and mug, and constantly kept, retro, red awnings and trim. I just never stopped in..... Maybe it's because I frequented other "Fatboy" joints, further down south... but regardless, it was time to check this place off my list.
I had the Top Burger (which is like your Winnipeg-Greek cheese burger), and my friend had the Lot'o Burger (like your Winnipeg Fatboy).
My burger was like a Sal's nip crossed with a "Greek style" burger, and my friend's was like a subpar Fatboy. The fries reminded me of In-N-Out Burger in the US.
Service was okay... but we had a glass with lipstick on it which made me question the overall cleanliness. But it's a (truly) retro drive-in turned diner. And they definitely have regulars and nostalgia wrapped up!
Always good food here. Great fries, friendly staff. Have had a variety of items and enjoyed them all. You won't leave hungry at this place.
I got today the "Lot o Burger" with some bacon. This poutin as well. He food was excellent. Unfortunately there was a wait, but they seem understaffed. No big deal to me personally.
The service was very friendly, kept our drinks full despite how busy it was.
The booths aren't super comfy, but it's a very classic vibe inside.
The parking lot is a bit crowded, but that's to be expected if the food is as good as it is.
I travelled 10 hours to enjoy a few menu options after seeing this diner on You Gotta Eat Here ! Service was very fast and friendly . Chilli cheese fries were amazing ! Burger and dog were mediocre. Grabbed a Rootbeer milkshake for the ride , and was absolutely delicious ! I’ll be back again one day to try more options !
great service! good food. fun stop. reminds me of a Waffle House but red and they also serve burgers!
It was a nice lunch stop good service A diner that opened in 1960 the décor shows its age
From burgers to gyros they have a nice Greek salad worth a visit
An institution in St Boniface. Lots of parking. Ordering was quick and easy. Fried chicken and fries were up to their normal high standards. (And good sized portions) Staff friendly and professional.
The only reason I couldn’t give this 5stars.
I waited for my order inside at an empty booth I was directed to by the hostess. The whole time I was there (15-20 minutes) some obviously troubled old man kept stumbling by on his way to and from no where. He interrupted a lady ordering to ask for a glass of water (on his umpteenth trip by the cash). I know kindness and tolerance are important but if I had decided to eat in, I would have been disappointed with this distraction. I probably won’t choose to eat in myself and I’ll order in advance next time if at all possible - or wait in the car.
