| - Looking for some cheap diner food but not sure whether you want Chinese or burgers? This is the place for you. Hiding in a little strip mall along Edmonton Trail you'll find 'The Billy Burger' - and despite varying signage, they're probably open.
I wanted to take a photo of the menu, but it's spread over two walls behind the counter as well as A4 pieces of paper covering the counter and above the drinks fridge. You can choose from around 20 Chinese meals for $7.25ish (each with a photo!) western meals from breakfast to burgers ($4-5ish), fries ($3) etc, and then add coffee ($1.55), wine/beer ($5.50ish), and cans of pop ($1.35). It's an order and pay at the counter kind of a place.
The inside is pretty big and you can have your choice of comfy seats and booths, all of which endearingly look like they're from the 60s - 80s, complete with four old school 'fat' TVs randomly in the middle.
From our order of Western (bacon burger and fries) and Chinese (#8 - two spring rolls, bbq pork, chicken chow mein and egg fried rice), I think my Chinese meal won out. It's definitely not on par with the restaurants of Chinatown, but made for a fun and cheap hangover diner meal on a day when most places were closed over New Years.
