Irene's Coffee Shop - Chauvin

As I was driving down hwy 897 on my way to Wainwright from Lloydminster I saw the sign for Paradise Valley, I looked at the clock on my radio and it said 12:02. I already had a restaurant picked out to eat at in Wainwright but fate took over and I hit the brakes and signaled for a left hand turn off the hwy for the one mile journey to Paradise Valley. Even though I had no idea if there would be a restaurant or what it might serve I rolled the dice. I pulled into town to see a quaint farming town and found the road to the main street easy to find. Irene's Cafe, I guess that's where my lunch would be. I parked in front of the busiest building in town and found an old building serving as the cafe. As I walked in it was easy to tell that I needed to order at the counter. I had the soup and sandwich, Egg salad and Veggie soup. It only took a few minutes and they delivered my order to the table I had picked. It was great, just like mom would make for me. The soup was fresh and not overdone and the bread was moist. And I caught up on most of the local gossip while eating. I love small towns! When I was done I grabbed my stuff and headed out the door, took a few pictures of the outside of the building and walked to my truck. As I was about to get in I heard a lady yelling at me. The waitress noticed I had left my bottle of ice tea on the table and she ran out to find me. You won't find service like that in a city. Top notch service and food. Take your time and enjoy life off of the beaten path. I do!

I've been to both the wholesale and the dining sections of this business.

Second time coming around wasn't as good as the first, the Cold Lobster Roll and Coleslaw looked better than it tasted.__First time I came here I had the

Great fish market/eatery A very nice selection of fish, shrimp and of course lobsters.
