 | Hamburgers | Fast Food | This was Grant's first experience of fast food back in the time when servers on roller skates put trays on your car windowsill. We still like to go back for the sake of nostalgia, but unfortunately the fries and onion rings are bland and the burgers are OK, but only in a 1950's sort of way. www | They are just about everywhere.

| Burger Inn |
 | Hamburger | Fast Food | This local chain of hamburger outlets wins for the most unusual kinds of burgers made from such interesting ingredients as pork, lamb, turkey, buffalo, venison and ostrich. They also offer cholesterol-free fries, real fruit-flavoured milkshakes, and the convenience of being able to order your burger ahead of time so it will be ready when you arrive. Now that's really fast food. Good vegetarian selection. | 920 - 36 Street NE 235-5860 | 9669 MacLeod Tr. S. Brick Plaza 252-4840 | 2020 - 4 Street SW 244-9293 3829 Bow Tr.

| Harvey's |
| Hamburger | Fast Food | Our favourite we-put-on-it-what-you-want hamburger outlet. Watch though; the rating can fluctuate a little between outlets, but this usually stems from the service, not the food. Good vegetarian selection. | Brentwood Village Mall 282-2230 400 Country Hills Dr. NW 226-9546 (Home Depot) | Calgary International Airport 250-9177 Northgate Village Mall 272-9641 2520 - 52 St. NE 280-9448 | 5658 Signal Hill Ctr SW 240-0006 6500 MacLeod Tr.

| Peters' Drive-In |
| Hamburgers | Fast Food | In every city, there are certain restaurants that for whatever reason seem to tug at the heartstrings of the populace. In Calgary, Peters' is one of these. The line-ups are long, and the crowds are enthusiastic, especially for the milkshakes. And what brings out the multitudes and the fans? Average steam table hamburgers and good milkshakes. Why is it so popular? That, my friends, is a mystery of pop culture. | 219 - 16 Ave. NE 277-2747 | ||||||
| Tommy Burger Bar |
 | Hamburgers | Informal | Tommy's prompted a long discussion in our group even after we left the premises. On one side, there were those who appreciated the fact that this was a real restaurant with servers, soups, salads, milkshakes and desserts. On the other side were those who thought that paying a dollar or more for every topping on what they called a "restaurant burger" was a little much. You decide. We ended up on the cusp between the 3 and 4 categories. Good vegetarian selection. | 9629 Macleod Tr. S. 258-0668 | Su to Th 11:00 a.m. - 11:00 p.m. F, Sa 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 a.m. |
