Our Story

A warm welcome from Helen

For years, Picture Butte Restaurant has been the kind of place this little prairie town is lucky to have — where the wok is always hot, the portions are always generous, and Helen greets you like an old friend.

It’s an honest, family-run spot serving both the Chinese classics and Western comfort food the community grew up on. Regulars make the trip from Lethbridge and beyond, and first-timers leave already planning their next order. However you find us — a quiet weeknight dinner or feeding a whole crowd — you’ll be looked after.

The food is excellent and the service is so friendly. The prices are reasonable for the amount and quality — and the deep-fried wontons were probably the best I’ve ever had!

Had the curry chicken with veggies — cooked perfectly. Helen was very polite and nice to talk to. Will definitely come back.
