  The fact that there are very few restaurants in Burns Lake must be the main reason that this location is able to remain open. The food here is absolutely horrible. I have to give them credit for being consistent though, because their food is consistently awful. The deep fried prawns are so greasy that the grease soaked through the takeout container and left a large sized puddle on my kitchen counter. The chowmein is quite simply, Mr.Noodles or Ichiban with a couple pieces of vegetable and some fake meat chucked on top. If i have to choose between eating at the Panhandle or going hungry, going hungry wins hands down every time. I'd rather light my money on fire than spend it on the nasty fare they attempt to pass off as food here.

  We had a good laugh while eating at this place and afterwards. 4 of us went for supper and two of us ordered combos, while the other two ordered from the "chef's specials" section of the menu. The meals came out one at a time, about 10 minutes apart, so it was nice to eat our meals at seperate times so the ones served early could watch the rest finish theirs. A new dining experience is always refreshing. The "almond" chicken from the "chef's specials" was a pile (literally a pile) of deep fried chicken with peanuts sprinkled on top (about 3 chicken breasts deep fried with a tablespoon of crushed peanuts as a garnish). There must have been almonds hiding in the batter or something to earn it's name. Such value though! 3 pounds of deep fried meat keeps you feeling full for hours!

  Three of us went here while working in Burns Lake. I took one bite and was done. The other two guys had upset stomachs later that night and the next day.

  Best restaurant in town when everything else is closed on a Sunday. Basic fare enough to fill your belly.

  One person ordered a side of rice to accompany their meal to which the waitress replied with the question "steamed or fried?". She chose steamed to which the waitress replied "we only have fried". Glad she had the option though! The combos were alright... Large portions of seemingly reheated food. Overall we had a great time, 5/5.
