I had heard from many Calgarians friends of the fabled Peter's with the greatest shakes in the realm and the finest burgers in all the land. Finally I had the leisure today to experience it.

Shake: initial impression was not sensational but as I worked my way in I began to realize: it tastes very fresh and milky, exceptionally so. The flavour enhancement was not overwhelming like so many others which allowed the creamy nature to hold place as it should. It was an excellent shake, one of the best I have ever enjoyed.

Burger: strong, simply spiced, real cheddar (though not the sharpest by any stretch) the house sauce gave it character. You could tell the patties were fresh. However, I look for something a little more complex and challenging in a burger. Simple doesn't cut it for me. As such I can't put it in the top five for me.

Fries: impressed again they are fresh cut, but only lightly salted and not as crispy as I would have liked. Final impression, on the ordinary side like I get from most mom and pop burger shacks.

Overall I go 4 stars. The burger is 4, the shake is 5 and the fries are 3. Well done but I don't know if I would go out of my way to return.
