Yavis Family Restaurant & PropRoom Lounge

Yavis Family Restaurant & PropRoom Lounge occupies a notable place in Alberta dining history, tracing its roots to 1917 and widely recognized as the first named family restaurant in the province. Now in its fourth generation of family ownership, it sits on North Dinosaur Trail in Drumheller — a short distance from Dinosaur Trail Golf & Country Club, making it a practical stop before or after a round.

The menu is broad and unfussy: breakfast plates, burgers, pasta, hearty sandwiches, steaks, and fish and chips. The dining room carries a straightforward diner atmosphere — simple, welcoming, and suited to a casual meal rather than a formal evening out.

Adjoining the restaurant is the PropRoom Lounge, a laid-back bar well suited to post-round drinks. The combination of a full-menu family restaurant and a separate pub lounge under one roof gives golfers the flexibility to eat a proper sit-down meal or settle in at the bar depending on the mood after eighteen holes.
