Bernie & The Boys Bistro
Drumheller is a destination town and Bernie & The Boys Bistro is a destination dining spot. Come here for a menu that has it all, including delicious comfort food and the three-pound Mammoth Burger.
Thereās even a challenge to finish the burger that only a handful of people have ever accomplished. Maybe you have what it takes?
Drive over and find out. It might be a couple of minutes over three hours, but we’ll let it slide.

It’s All Greek To Me
Once you try the Greek food here, the drive won’t seem so bad.
The classic souvlaki and skewers are all here, but so are some unique casserole dishes and traditional dishes like calamari and ribs that are cooked Greek style.
There are too few fantastic Greek spots and we are so thankful to have this one within three hours of driving distance.

There’s a location in Edmonton that specializes in Banh Mi sandwiches, and it’s a must-visit. But the Beaumont location is also one you need to try, especially because the menu there is totally different, focusing on being a taqueria and offering a Mexican-style brunch.
Plus, all of the amazing beers of course.
Address: 5302 50th Street, Beaumont
