What makes this Calgary diner stand out is their insistence on using REAL butter and PURE maple syrup for all of their dishes."

"It’s a thin strip of a restaurant with barely enough room to accommodate the tiny kitchen, line of tables and seats at the counter, which inevitably means there will be a wait. But the kitschy vibe, robust dishes and quick service make it worthwhile — not to mention the endless coffee refills while in line. 1413 11 St. S.W., 403-228-0001, galaxiediner.ca"
