Deja Vu Cafe

I had the Loaded 44 and jalapeño poppers—both were fantastic. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, and the poppers had just the right amount of heat. What really stole the show, though, was the Banana Cream Pie milkshake. Creamy, sweet, and full of nostalgic flavor—hands down one of the best milkshakes I’ve ever had. I loved it so much that I went back later the same day for the Raspberry Cheesecake milkshake, and it was equally amazing. Super smooth, rich, and full of flavor—like dessert in a glass. With so many milkshake options and great food to pair with it, Déjà Vu Café is a must-visit. Friendly service, cozy atmosphere, and everything I tried was a hit. Can’t wait to come back and try more!

Good service, good food, a bit pricey for what you get. Booth needs repair. I paid on average $2 per chicken wing after taxes and minimum suggested tip of 15%. Lots of sauce and powder flavour choices but they just toss it on top so you get lots of flavour on the tops of 6 wings and almost no flavour on the bottom 6 wings. Pretty sure my "Hickory Smoke" wings just had some Bulls Eye Hickory BBQ sauce poured on top right out of the bottle, or something that tastes luke it. Update: they seem to really appreciate local musical talent and I love that about the owners and staff at Deja Vu.

My first visit... I was greeted by young server with "What can I do for you?". I mumbled something about getting a seat and after negotiations, we decided that I can seat myself. Presented with huge menu but really options are just chicken wings or chicken strips. Neither are things that I would normally order in a sit-down cafe but I settled on the big chicken wing dinner. Upon suggestion of server I tried two sauces from the 'wet sauces' menu. In effort to avoid hi-calorie hi-carb shakes, I had the over-priced iced tea. Included coleslaw arrived quick. It was crunchy and creamy. After 16 minutes the wings and fries arrived. (Not bad speed but not 'fast food'). Fries were dark and overcooked or perhaps the oil was getting old. The wings were generously slathered with sauce after being put in basket. (Perhaps I should have asked for sauce on the side but that wasn't offered as an option). Chicken seem proper cooked but oh my this was a messy meal! I used at least a dozen paper napkins. Something this messy should be served with lobster bib and finger bowl. If I come again there is a 'dry seasoning' section on the menu and that might be a better option. The wing dinner included 12 wings but by the time you discard the bones there was nothing left for take home doggie bag.

Deja Vu was so good! We had chicken strips, wings, fries and pickle chips. The chicken strips are huge and so delicious. Wings have so many flavors to choose from it's hard to decide! Pickle chips are crispy goodness!

We didn't really enjoy this place, which is really unfortunate because so many people told us to come here. My fiancé's chicken burger's bun was extremely hard for some reason, but the chicken burger itself was great, he said. My son ordered the chicken fingers and fries, and he didn't seem to really care for the chicken fingers. I had dill wings and a Caesar wrap, and I didn't love either of my food items. What was amazing were the milkshakes. They're like old-style with so many different flavors to choose from. We came at a very busy time, and it seemed like the staff was a little bit stressed. It took our server a very long time to greet us and take our drink order. Once he took our drink order and dropped off our drinks, he took our food order, and the food came out in a very reasonable time. He didn't come back to quality check if we were enjoying our food. He didn't come back to clear plates off of our table after we were done eating. We waited a while and finally decided to just stand up, walk to the front, and pay the bill and leave. I would not come back here unless it was strictly for milkshakes.

This place is more like a 3.8 stars. My biggest complaint that doesn't get them to 4 starts is the smell inside the building, not sure what it is, if its stale cleaner, or the smell of the AC system drain, but it makes me loose my appetite. The food use to be really good! I havent had it though in years, due to the price of the wings being outrageous. The Milkshakes are tremendously good! But the price is also steap for a pump of flavour shot and some soft serve ice cream.

I’ve been going to Deja Vu since it first opened, staying loyal through all the ownership changes. The food has always been good, and while we’ve had the occasional mix-up or long wait, nothing compared to my most recent visit. I pre-ordered a simple takeout meal, three strips and fries and was quoted 20 minutes. I live 45 minutes from Moose Jaw and was only going there to get this chicken meal for myself. I arrived on time and was told "a few more minutes," but it took OVER AN HOUR. Each time I checked in, the staff told me “just a few more minutes.” When the order finally came out, it was only the strips in a box: no bag, no fries. They had to go back to finish the order and package it up. I was not the only frustrated customer this happened to during my time waiting. The prices have gone up and the service has gone wayyyyy down. I reached out to the owners by email before posting this review but never received a response.

If unbeatable variety is what you’re chasing, Deja Vu is the place for you. They have an absolutely unbelievable number of milkshake flavors and chicken wing sauces - you’ll likely never run out of new combinations to try. The chicken strips and wings are generously sized, crispy, and clearly handmade which adds to the appeal. Some sauce and milkshake flavors land much better than others, but with such a massive selection, that’s completely expected. The key is that there is something here for everyone. The atmosphere is classic and charming, a true cafe aesthetic that feels casual and welcoming. The food comes out quick enough, nice and hot, and delivers on the quality that you’d expect. The onion rings, fried mushrooms, and mozzarella sticks also deserve a mention - all were fried perfectly and packed with deliciousness. Texas Ranch and Hickory Dilly Dock stood out as our favorite wing sauces. That said, the service was the only real downside. Staff weren’t very attentive, and asking for recommendations felt like an inconvenience to them rather than something they welcomed. It gave the impression that they didn’t particularly want to be there. Still, while the young staff didn’t add to the experience, they didn’t ruin it either. At the end of the day, I came for great fried chicken and fresh milkshakes, and on that front, Deja Vu delivered. It’s easy to see why this spot has earned such a solid reputation - it’s a must-visit when in Moose Jaw if you want seriously good fried food and endless flavor combinations.

I've gotten the opportunity to eat here a couple times this winter and the wings are always great. Loads of options for flavors. Milkshakes are unreal as well.

Usually I do the search for restaurants to try but this time, Mr C actually did his own research! He recalled learning about a local restaurant known for its wings in Moose Jaw and really wanted to try it and when he mentioned @dejavucafemj to me, I really did have a dèja Vu moment it sounded familiar but I couldn't recall if I've been there Turns out I did but at that time, I didn't try the wings so it was less memorable We wanted to grab a small bite before we head over to the Moose Jaw Tunnels but bad timing cause it was SUPER busy! Thankfully, the staff was able to accommodate us quickly and fed us They have a WIIIIDE variety of flavours and although we wanted to try all, we went with a safe option: maple + bacon + ranch = never wrong choice right? When the food first arrived, I was a bit iffy since I was expecting it to be tossed in sauce but it was only covered on top. After a couple bites, I'm very glad that's how it came as! The sauce:wings ratio was perfect (for me). Sauce wasn't overbearing and since the bottom half was still dry, we were able to get the full crispness of the wings We're definitely coming back to try their other flavours! Another popular dish of theirs is the milkshakes I didn't get a picture but I can tell you - Mr C was a HUGE fan. After the first sip - he couldn't stop raving about how good it was! He got Saskatoon Berry Milkshake and wouldn't stop drinking it until the wings arrived ‍ I wasn't quite in the mood for milkshakes but his excitement for it did make me want to try some Instead if serving it in a fancy glass with decorations, it came in the classic stainless steel cup; this was nice as you actually get all of the milkshake they make rather than just a portion of it (many places pour it into a glass to serve but the glass doesn't hold as much as stainless steel). They also have quite a variety for milkshakes! I already have my eyes set on a few flavours to try in the future

I'm glad we decided to do lunch here. We almost didn't come because my wife said it's just deep Fried Chicken .. When we ordered I had a Buffalo Chicken Wrap while my wife ordered the deep Fried Boneless Ribs. Go figure. Mine was delicious and just spicy enough to be good. The soup was chicken noodle naturally. It was fine but I expected awesome at a chicken place. I tasted several of my wife's boneless chicken ribs. They were great but that's a lot of fried food for lunch. They would make a better appetizer than main course. If you order it I suggest a side of coleslaw for a bit of nutrition. The price was about right at $10.00 a place. We didn't have room for dessert but they looked good. This place is clearly popular with the downtown lunch crowd because it was full at noon but nearly empty at 1:00 pm. There's a lot of great dishes to try out so if you are anywhere near Moose Jaw, give your jaws a treat and stop in at Deja Vu Café just off main street.

Amazing food and amazing services. Not to mention the large selection of milk shakes. Will be coming back when we visit Moose Jaw.

Great place to eat!! Food was good, tons of choices for wing flavours and milf shakes. The milk shakes are huge and served in the old school tall aluminum cups. Cool place. The evening we went it was supper busy so service was poor but could clearly see they were hustling.

This place is bad for your health but so so good... They have everything you can think off fried ! The biggest selection sauces and chicken wings, awesome milk shakes, solid appetizers. Nice little spot with a retro diner vibe and friendly service.

Their FLOATS are out of this WORLD! A MUST, MUST TRY! I had the Eggnog float, and I literally could not stop saying "mmm!" after every sip! They have about 40-50 different flavours of Floats on their board.. it's honestly hard to choose just one! Very old school, classic looking restaurant - it's truly one of those hidden gems. Friends of mine took me, and said they will drive up to Moosejaw for the afternoon just to visit Deja Vu Cafe (they're from Regina). The Chicken is incredibly fresh and portions are very generous. Staff was great/friendly. Would HIGHLY recommend, wish I could have visited one more time before coming home to Toronto.

Great food great selection great staff so I would rate this a great place oh and a great selection of milkshakes

We had this café/diner recommended as a great place for teens with a BIG appetite and it did not disappoint! Our server raved about the huge selection of milkshake flavours and hundreds of sauces to put on all kinds of chicken. It was like " A CHICKEN OUTFIT!" Your choice of naked or breaded chicken in all kinds of ways; wings, chicken tenders, or boneless chicken, breasts grilled, baked or fried. Meals c/w fresh cut fries & coleslaw. Substitute Caesar salad, onion rings, soup for $2.50 or poutine or sweet potato fries for $3.50 Dinner was very overwhelming with us ordering way more than we could handle! Servers work together and wipe down menus, condiment containers and surfaces continuously. Seems like ladies are in the front of house and gentlemen work the back. Absolutely no room for dessert this time but would have liked to have tried the dessert menu (pic incl). Wednesday and Thursday from 4pm - close boneless chicken is 1/2 price! Healthy options available like chicken Caesar wraps. Gluten free options available.

This was our first visit to Moose Jaw so I clicked on yelp to help us find some unique places to eat. We chose Deja Vu Cafe because it was an easy 5 minute walk from our hotel (Temple Garden) and my husband's fav food is wings. We chose Saturday August 24, 2019 at roughly noon to visit Deja Vu. We were incredibly lucky as there was only one table of 4 available the rest were occupied. This restaurant is very long and narrow so only 3 square tables for 4 fit across the room with narrow paths running between them. This restaurant is much too congested for my liking. I do however like the deja vu theme which includes simple diner decor and pictures and paraphernalia of Marilyn Monroe and my dad's idol Elvis Presley. (Seriously though who doesn't love Elvis?) I've reached the part of my review regarding why my husband wanted so very badly to visit this restaurant....the wings. Not just your average 10 maybe 20 flavours of wings, we are talking like 100 wing options. And these are NOT wings that when the waitress sets the plate before you, you find yourself questioning if they are actual chicken. Deja Vu uses 100 percent chicken. That is one less worry for you. ;). Deja Vu's chicken is cooked until it's tender and juicy. You get to dunk that perfectly cooked melt in your mouth chicken into almost any sauce you could ever imagine. That is my husband's idea of a little piece of heaven. He ordered hot wings. I thought he would be a little more creative with over 100 options, but he does love his hot wings. My husband's sense of hot in terms of taste I feel is skewed. What your average person finds hot he can find no heat. What he does find hot no one else who values their taste buds should ingest in any amount. So needless to say, he found no heat in the hot wings from Deja Vu. However, he was pleased and impressed with the flavour of the homemade hot sauce that was on his wings. I on the other hand was much more excited about the 80 milkshake flavours. The milkshakes are thick and very tasty. They are served in the large metal containers that they are blended in with a larger diameter straw. With my milkshake I had sweet potato fries. Our friends both had wings and milkshakes as well. All four of us enjoyed our lunch at Deja Vu Cafe. I took off the one star due to how close the tables are to one another. If it were an option I'd have only taken off a 1/2. So their score would be 4.5/5

I went here, because it was featured on You Gotta Eat Here. I asked for ginger ale to drink, they did not have it. I asked for decaf, they did not have that either. I ended up with a chocolate milkshake that was rich and tasty. I wanted to try the pierogi poutine, but they were out of pierogis. Getting frustrated, I asked what they are famous for and the waitress suggested the 22 Special: 2 chicken wings, 2 chicken strips with fries and coleslaw. You can choose your sauce from 50+ varieties so I had the plum and the sweet and sour sauces. I had sweet potato fries too. It was all good, but disappointed I couldn't try the poutine.

Second time visiting this gem and it didn't disappoint. The selection of milkshakes to unreal and the amount of different sauce choices....it's worth it to decide at home before you arrive. The food is delicious and the portion sizes are excellent. Good food, good selection and good price, highly recommend.

Smoothies were delicious, can't say enough to about them. The regular lunch menu was tasty but lacking in options and the price suited the taste of the food. Overall, good comfort food in a funky atmosphere.

The food here is absolutely delicious. Ragin chipotle strips and amaretto milkshakes are to die for. They are just super expensive. Cost about $60 for 2 people. So it's a treat when you go here

Milkshakes were awesome! My wife and I tried a couple of different combos and enjoyed all the tastes. Lots of choices for sauces and served hot. Great service!

The milkshakes are great and the chicken tenders/fingers are pretty good as well. The downside is that absolutely everything you order comes with a cold, greasy texture. Its like they use battered chicken to wipe down the counter tops. Now I just go for the shakes :) The restaurant itself has always had the aroma of a grease pit and its so thick you can feel it in the air and on everything.

The fries were tasty but the wings were a big disappointment. Deep fried wings, dried out meat, room temp and slightly watery inside, with the dry seasonings I ordered shaken on top only. No flavor on the bottoms. It seems to be the kind of place that wows people with flavor options rather than quality. I wanted to try a famous milkshake but they are all made with syrup rather than real fruit or whatever with the exception of peanut butter and that didn't sound good to me. Might try here again only because the options in MJ are limited.

Small, downtown restaurant with very focused menu specializing in chicken strips and wings, and milkshakes. Chicken meals are provided with your choice of a giant list of sauces. A similarly large list of flavours are available for the American-sized shakes. Friendly service, fun atmosphere, reasonable prices ($13-16 for most mains). Tasty, fresh-cut fries come with most meals. Outside of the potatoes and some cole slaw, Déja Vu doesn't offer much in the way of vegetables or fruit. We recommend sticking with the mainstays, and avoiding alternative menu items such as the highly processed ribs. The dishes seem small, but end up being hard to finish, so don't hesitate to share or to order the smaller options. Vegetarians (and I) might skip the chicken and try requesting those fresh cut fries with a couple interesting sauces for dipping.

The chicken was dry, service not so good. Would not eat here again.

Tasty chicken tenders, caesar salads and fries. Tons of sauces to choose from. A great stop on any Trans-Canada Highway road trip. I usually get teriyaki-hot, sauce on the side. I find that dressing the tenders in sauce can be a bit overwhelming. The food can be a bit slow to come out.

This restaurant is superb. The food is exceptional the flavors of chicken wings are almost unending, The milkshakes are superb & the dozens of little items such as pickle chips, or the deep fryed Mars bar, are almost to die for. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to any passerby who might be in the area!

Seriously, if you haven't tried this place where have you been?? This place was featured on the TV show called "You gotta eat here" and rightly so! We love getting the chicken breasts with sauces like Antisocial (garlic lovers dream!!!), sweet and sour, texas ranch, honey dill, and quite a few others! Plus the fries are homemade and awesome. We love to pick it up and take it home and eat, never had a bad meal. I know our daughter loves their marshmellow milkshakes and I have heard good things about their milkshakes but haven't had one myself. I know when they first opened up the portions of the chicken breasts were a lot larger, which I wish they still were, as this isn't a cheap meal. Over the years they downsized on the size of the breasts. We order the family size chicken strips (12 strips, $22), large fries ($13!!!!) and gravy($3.5) and it's $38.50. It's a nice alternative to KFC and pizza so nice for a treat. The vast array of sauces, homemade fries and retro feel of a diner just add to the appeal.

Great wings! A wing dinner of 12 wings , fries and salad can easiliy be split between two people. Good service and kids enjoyed as well. Would go back. Oh and the shakes are delicious!

Ohhhhyeaaahhhh... It's rightsomegood! Either get a milkshake or save room for an ice cream... But you probably won't be able to eat both!

Waste of my money for a quick snack. Was gross and over charged us. Not happy about this this place used to be good and fair priced.
