VJ's Drive Inn

VJ's Drive Inn

VJ's Drive Inn is a restaurant in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Located at 170 Main Street, the restaurant initially opened as "Juniors" in 1958. The name of the restaurant changed to VJ's Drive Inn in 1980.[1] The restaurant is owned by Gus Razos, son of Nick (born Spiros), who was involved with many Winnipeg restaurants such as The Manhattan, the Original Food Bar, BBQ Restaurant, and Kit Kat Grill.[2]

The restaurant is open every day of the year except Christmas.[3] Staff at VJ's prepare and sell up to 5,000 pounds (2,300 kg) of french fries per week, and up to 100 pounds (45 kg) of hamburger each day.[1] The restaurant does not have indoor seating, only outdoor. Because of this, all orders are take-out and are packaged into traditional fold-up boxes.[1]
