I received yet another hit to my blog by someone looking for information on The Bannock Shack. So, to facilitate this continued search for information, I present to you Deron's Official Bannock Shack Post.

The Bannock Shack can be contacted at:

The Bannock Shack
3115 5th Ave.
Regina, SK
S4T 7T2

Phone: (306) 522-7240

It's exact location can be found here. (I normally use MapBlast for my mapping needs, but it choked on the address. Stupid Microsoft.)

If you're coming south on Albert Street, you'll find a Tim Horton's on your right side and a Petcetera on your left. Avoid the temptation to eat at Tim Horton's! If you're Vietnamese, avoid the temptation to eat at Petcetera! Instead, go one block further south and turn to your right.

If you're coming north on Albert Street and you get to the Tim Horton's/Petcetera intersection, you've gone one block too far. I wish I could tell you where to turn, but the landmarks escape me.

"But Deron," I hear you ask, "how's the food?"

Well, I'm no expert on aboriginal cuisine, but I think it's pretty good. They offer a good array of food, ranging from traditional North American stuff like burgers, fries, and pizza, to things like buffalo burgers and Indian tacos. The burgers, of course, come on a piece of fried bannock instead of a bun. They also serve the popular "bullets and bannock" -- some kind of meatball and potato soup, which I think is delicious, and you can get the 6-pack or 12-pack of fried bannock to go. You can even get breakfast in the mornings, with a good plate bacon and eggs for $2.99. But don't ask me why the Toonie Sandwich costs $2.50, because I don't know.

I've had buffalo at Wanuskewin, but I haven't tried the buffalo burger at The Bannock Shack. Similarly, I've had Indian tacos at Junior Nationals in Yorkton, but not at The Bannock Shack. I have had the Bannock Burger and fries, which was pretty good. I've had a lot of fried bannock, which is very good, but kind of greasy. Nothing out of the ordinary, though, that's just how it's prepared. I'm a big fan of the Bullets and Bannock, and get it practically every time I'm there. I've also had their pizza, but I think it's the weakest food they offer. It was big and thick, like Vern's Pizza, but very greasy -- so much so that we had grease dripping down our hands as we ate.

Overall, I recommend The Bannock Shack, and not just because it's awesome to have a restaurant serving aboriginal food. The food there is delicious, the prices are very reasonable, and the atmosphere is terrific.

Now when people search for The Bannock Shack on Google, maybe they'll find what they're looking for.
