Salisbury House

About Salisbury House

The Salisbury House restaurant chain has been serving quality food for 86 years in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada. Known locally as “Sals” the chain is considered an iconic Winnipeg institution. The first Salisbury House restaurant opened in downtown Winnipeg in 1931 by founder Ralph Erwin, who named his new eatery after the Salisbury Steak. Erwin was not fond of the term “hamburger” so he named his now famous burger a “Nip” making reference to a small “nip” or “bite’” of Salisbury Steak.
