VJ's is so easy to miss and if you do see it, it's easier to decide to not stop because it looks like a dump....Well, it is a dump!!! But it's worth stopping in. The bag of fries are huge and the burgers are very good. The VJ's special is a typical Greek style burger, messy, juicy and delicious. The... More

Don't even think about it, just do it. Fatboy, Fries and a Coke please, is what you say. Fries in a box, coke in a can, and everything on the burger. You can also choose anything else off the menu, but the fatboy and fries are the way to go.

Looks are sometimes deceiving but VJ's is definitely a great place for burgers and fries. There is no inside seating so you will eat outside on patio tables or in your vehicle when the weather dictates. The VJ special or for the more adventurous the double VJ special are always worth the trip. The burger meat is slightly peppery and... More

Try to avoid burgers - but they are great here, so I treat myself once a year along with their home made chips and shakes!

If you like hot dogs with a bit of chilli sauce and large homemade fries, this is the best place in Winnipeg. Not much of a place to look at but the take-out food is fantastic. Make sure you get the food in a box so you can soak the fries in salt and vinegar. A great meal throughout the... More

In Winnipeg, we really like our "home made" (fresh cut potato) fries and you can get them here for cheap in a paper bag. The hamburgers are "home made" as well, which mean you make a patty (they are not frozen pre formed) There is no where to sit, it is all take out but you get your food quickly.... More

The burgers are so good. The lettus fresh, the chili sauce tasty, the fried onions - perfect, and the staff: always great to see. This place is very busy and we are so lucky to have them here in Wpg! The french frys are home made, and they give a very generous serving! Thanks You V.J.'s. Keep up the great... More
