Nite Hawk Cafe

Great restaurant. Food was very tasty. Lots of unique items on the menu. Service was a little bit on the slow side, but not too bad.

This is tough for me to say as I have had burger place in the city for years now, but this place is the best burger I have had, part that sucks is I have to drive to West Hawk lake to get it now. Well took my wife the second time. And burger was awesome, yes this place is the best burger place I have found. Meat to bun ratio is perfect. The buns are awesome, meat itself is a homemade piece of art. Had fries and gravy to which is very good too. If you make the trip you will not be disappointed.

Good solid food at a decent price. Burgers, sandwiches, fries and salads are their go-to and their consistency explains why they are open for a lot of the winter.

We went for a late lunch after leaving our camping site at Falcon Lake. We have the normal waiting period because of a line up and the staff was disinfecting the tables. They take very seriously the COVID situation, and I like that. They really care for their customers. I had fish and chips, and my wife a burger. We shared the poutine. The food was good and tasty, and came to the table in time. The ambience is nice and cozy, it’s a vacation time restaurant. Nice music and not too loud like in other restaurants. Barb, our server, was very friendly and we talked about West Hawk in general. We will come back next time we are in the area.

The Nite Hawk is one of my favourite restaurants, not just in the Whiteshell, but in Manitoba. Located in West Hawk Lake, it’s a convenient place to enjoy lunch or dinner while camping or hiking in the area. I recently visited during the first week of July and enjoyed their delicious Beyond Burger with a side of French Fries on a gluten free bun. Everything tasted fantastic! Their fries are among the best I’ve eaten and were so perfectly cooked. The burger was also amazing and the gluten free bun was so soft. The service is always friendly and prompt. They have seating inside in the nice air conditioning and on the covered screened in patio. The menu is extensive and offers lots of options for vegetarians/vegans/gluten free and these are marked. Their cactus cuts fries are also incredible! I will continue to frequent this restaurant on my travels to the Whiteshell! Always look forward to coming here.

*** MUST EAT - BEST BURGERS IN WEST HAWK LAKE *** came here after a long day boating at caddy lake, has the best burgers in the area! Hands down - so juicy and the veggies are fresh as can be! PROS • in door and out door patio dining is allowed here • best burgers without a doubt, doesn't disappoint • fries are crunchy, on the less saltier side, so make sure you add sauces or salt to it if you want more flavor. • parking available in the front of building • has seperate enterance for indoor dining & another opening for take out orders • also serve ice cream - perfect on those hot dry Manitoba days. CONS • always busy so make sure you reserve a head of time this is my third time eating here, whenever I'm in the area, you best bet this is the better place to eat!

We arrived at the Nite Hawk Cafe for Thursday Steak night at 5pm. When taking drink orders, the waitress had “never heard of” a beer that was listed on the drink menu, not a good sign of things to come. When placing my steak order, I was informed that Steak Night did not start until 5:30pm. Under pressure to order something else, I order the Fish and Chips. The Fish was incredibly over cooked and over battered and was possibly the worse fish and chips I had ever had. The chips were also dry and overcooked leading me to think that the cook had fallen asleep at the deep fryer. Then instead of asking if I would like another beer, the waitress dropped off the bill while my wife was half way done her meal. She did enjoy her salad, apart from feeling rushed to finish despite the dining room being mostly empty. Perhaps they were getting ready for the big Steak Night rush? LOL. A terrible dining experience.

Went here the other evening. They have an app! I ordered via phone but was able to view their menu online. They have ample seating indoors, as well as outdoors. We sat on the boulevard at the picnic tables. Everything is set up with distance in mind, clean and a nice place to eat. There are 2 washrooms. They were clean and stocked. Ample parking with ramp and stairs to get in to the establishment. There is a pick up window from the outside, so you don't need to go in to get your food if you've ordered pick-up. Upon entering, the staff seems to be in their own world and doesn't pay attention to folks standing at the door, or at least that was my experience. Maybe they were just focused on the task at hand but I had 2 staff pass by me and said nothing. Everyone was at least working. An acknowledgement would have been nice. The staff person who took my order over the phone was so helpful. I was able to order off the menu but wanted to know the flavour options for the sundae, she listed many and it helped me make a decision! Food is tasty but portions are on the small side. Their home fries were disappointing. Soggy, greasy, no crisp. I wouldn't return here for fries. Their cats cuts were nice and crispy, and tasty too! The menu had a lot of vegetarian options (seems rare these days)...all burgers can be made with their beyond the meat patty and they had a vegan option for many things too--grilled cheese, sub cheese for hummus! Very impressed to see the variety on their menu. Would be willing to try something else next time. The sundaes were delish and the serving was generous. Parking is ample. Located conveniently to the left upon entering from the highway. Seems like the nicely spot, especially if you want to sit in. I'd go here again and try something different!
