Was this Rae and Jerry's or was it another steakhouse restaurant?

And it was a fine evening. Glad to see R&J's isn't going anywhere yet. The unchanged '60s, heck, '50s, ambience is what I love about the place. And the food, although I thought the broccoli side-vegetable was a little skimpy, portion-wise, and they could probably update that appetizers menu a bit. I had the big rib steak, with french fries and a side of fried mushrooms. Yum. <BR/>I still miss The Suburban in Brandon, too.CMPerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17545623607656612740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10100067.post-42778263194627288962009-02-22T11:05:00.000-06:002009-02-22T11:05:00.000-06:00As Winnipeg seems hell-bent on destroying anything...As Winnipeg seems hell-bent on destroying anything of value I would be both devastated and unsurprised to find Rae & Jerry's swallowed by some large conglomerate. <BR/><BR/>Hopefully the last edit made is true and it's sticking around. The quality of the food is slightly beside the point... the place is classic (except the bathrooms - reno gone wrong there). <BR/><BR/>A menu with steak, pickerel and tomato juice combined with the decor is all that's needed to make it top of the list when we come by Winnipeg.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10100067.post-7475336253680884432009-02-21T22:30:00.000-06:002009-02-21T22:30:00.000-06:00Thanks for the explanation.

After a fire destroyed the original location, she re-opened on Broad Street. Only the original restaurant could be called by the original name, so to retain the goodwill accrued in the community she had to change the name slightly and started over. The franchising came later. It's fabulous steak.The Great Canadian Talk Showhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121590849889997357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10100067.post-56404247943597062162009-02-20T14:20:00.000-06:002009-02-20T14:20:00.000-06:00Yes, stupid name, and more and more it's as if the...Yes, stupid name, and more and more it's as if the regular patrons of the big steakhouses are really engaged in a form of expense-subsidized ego masturbation, since the food really isn't that good in the end.<BR/><BR/>But @ Rob, this "Rae's is moving" rumor comes up almost once a year, and once a year, the current owners deny it.
