Lunchtime. Hungry. Lines at a few stalls in the Calgary Farmers Market... but not at Simply Good Eats. It seems to be a common conclusion that any place without a lineup must have something wrong with it. Stop thinking that way. You end up waiting in long line ups and often miss food that will hit the spot otherwise. Simply Good Eats is simply... well, good!
Burgers, sandwiches, waffles... it's a varied menu with a little something for everyone. I ordered a mushroom burger and a vitamin water. The burger was one of the daily lunch specials and came with fries. With the vitamin water, it was all less than $10 and made fresh to order.
The table numbers are rather ingenious too. To avoid a slough of people waiting around the counter, Simply Good Eats has helium balloons attached to a little post, each with a number on it. You take your seat and put the balloon on the counter. When it's ready, it's brought out to you... the floating balloon makes you easy to spot!
