What to Order

VJ's Special / Fatboy

This is the iconic Winnipeg burger, massive and messy, loaded with chili, fresh toppings, and a perfectly seasoned beef patty.

"If you’re craving an authentic Winnipeg fatboy, VJ’s Drive In is the place to go. This small, old-school burger joint may not look fancy, but it’s all about the food and they absolutely deliver. The fatboy here is massive, messy in the best way, and packed with flavor."

Double Cheeseburger
