What User doesn't like about Thunderbird Restaurant:

The Thunderbird restaurant in Winnipeg has a mix of reviews, ranging from some complaints about slow service to praises for the affordable prices and nostalgic atmosphere. Despite some mixed opinions, loyal customers appreciate the classic diner ambiance and hearty portions of breakfast specials such as the $5.95 deal. The restaurant has maintained its traditional charm over the years, with consistent recipes and a must-try broasted chicken dish that offers a unique twist on fried chicken. The Thunderbird is a hidden gem in the North end of Winnipeg, attracting a mix of new visitors and long-time patrons.
