Not a legend.. not even sure what the other reviewers are thinking.
Yes there is some nostalgia factor - I'll be the first to admit that. Peters is a long held Calgary establishment. The kicker is that, in 2005, the place was bought by a new owner and the quality plummeted. As much as it pains me to say it, it is now one of the absolute worst burgers in the city. The patties are overcooked and spongy, soggy buns, sloppy sauce, overall bad tasting. The fries are bland and greasy. The onion rings are soggy. It just isn't the place it used to be.
As for the shakes.. I think they are still one of the better milkshakes in the city IF ultra-thick is your preference. Just don't get the burger.. and don't believe the hype. It's all nostalgia that is no longer substantiated by any quality. And it really sucks to say that.
