VJ's Drive Inn is a burger joint in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, located at 170 Main Street.^[1][2]

Overview[]

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 John Calogeris whose father was Nick Calogeris (b. Spiros Calogeris). Nick Calogeris was involved with many Winnipeg restaurants, such as The Manhattan, the Original Food Bar, BBQ Restaurant, and Kit Kat Grill. John Calogeris' two partners—John and Gus Razos—are his cousins.^[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] Because the restaurant only has outdoor seating, all orders are take-out and are packaged into traditional fold-up boxes.^[1]
