Brewery
Three Bears Brewery & Restaurant is a unique and inviting spot in Banff, designed to make you feel like you're dining in the heart of a forest. The wood-lined interior is adorned with wildlife statues and features a 25-foot pine tree, creating a cozy atmosphere.
The food here was pretty good, a bit on the pricey side. We ordered the French onion soup, the wings and the mac n cheese. I really enjoyed the wings, they had so much flavor and the French onion soup hit the spot on the rainy day that we went. The mac n cheese was not bad, but a bit on the mild side for flavor. Service was great, all the staff were super friendly and there was plenty of outdoor seating so we could sit with our dog.

We had an amazing experience at 3 Bears Brewery! On our second visit, we were served by Eloy, who was absolutely fantastic. Even though the restaurant was quite busy, the staff handled everything with such professionalism and genuine friendliness. It’s no surprise this place is always packed — they have their own crafted beers that are simply a must-try! The food was also incredible, and every bite was worth it. Kudos to the owner and manager for running such a well-organized and welcoming establishment. We’ll definitely be back!

We came here for dinner and were seated upstairs. The space was beautifully decorated with a stylish bar and a glass roof that let in lots of light — and closed up nicely when it got chillier outside. Service was perfect. Our friendly waiter guided us through the (beer) menu, which was much appreciated. They brew the beer locally, and as Belgians we were very happy to finally drink good, affordable beer abroad. Even better: it wasn’t just affordable, it was really tasty too! We tried the pilsner, a fruity seasonal, and the mango IPA. For mains, we had a pepperoni pizza and mac ’n cheese. The pizza was basically more pepperoni than pizza (not necessarily a bad thing), but the dough was solid. The mac ’n cheese was tasty and definitely filling.

We visited a brewery restaurant in downtown Banff after seeing the good Google reviews. Since the weather was nice, we sat on the patio. We ordered a pale ale, mushroom pizza, and the beef tenderloin. The beer was smooth and tasty, and the food overall was quite good. The steak was more tender and flavorful than expected, though the prices were on the higher side. Service was friendly, and the restaurant itself is quite spacious with two floors. It’s not right on the main street, so it felt quieter and more relaxed, which we really enjoyed.

We stopped into Three Bears tonight on our second trip to Banff. We regret not coming here for dinner sooner! Our server Macy was wonderful. Very friendly, funny, great customer service, made great cocktails and was very accommodating to our requests and vegan guests. All staff we encountered were kind and welcoming. Food was amazing, o.s. they aren’t kidding about the crust, sooo good! and the maple old fashioned is a must try. I highly recommend stopping in!

Check out the Happy Hour here. Everything was pretty good. Was really surprised about how good the mac n’ cheese was. The whole entire place is photo worthy. There was also live music. Don’t miss this place when you visit Banff

I visited this place with my family on a Saturday afternoon. Although it was a bit crowded, the wait time was surprisingly short thanks to the spacious interior. The decor is vibrant and nature-inspired, with beautiful displays featuring animals and greenery, it gives the space a warm, energetic vibe. You can tell a lot of thought and care went into creating the atmosphere. The service was excellent; our server was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. There was also live music playing, which made the experience even more enjoyable. As for the food, every dish we ordered was delicious. We had the 7-cheese pizza, perfect for cheese lovers, the Caesar salad, which was fresh and flavorful, and the Alberta bison ribs, a local specialty that was tender and rich in flavor. The cheesy waffle fries were also a hit, crispy and loaded with flavor. I tried the Pinery Pilsner beer, which was crisp, refreshing, and paired well with the meal. An extra fun touch: they also sell their own branded merchandise, which adds to the charm and personality of the place. I definitely recommend this spot for its great food, excellent service, fun vibe, and unique atmosphere.

Really happy with our experience at Three Bears. Hugely busy, so glad we got a reservation! The beer was wonderful, and the environment was perfect. We got a chicken sandwich and a pizza to split. The chicken sandwich was great, and the pizza was quite tasty, too. We did wish the cheese had been marbled a bit more at a higher temperature, but no real complaints. Definitely recommended!

Distillery
PARK Distillery Restaurant + Bar is a trendy spot in Alberta, offering small-batch spirits and gourmet comfort food in a rustic setting. The restaurant boasts a diverse menu of rotisserie and wood-fired grilled meats, along with unique dishes like cheese and whisky fondue and cornflake pulled pork fingers with maple whisky and bacon dipping sauce. Their cocktails are top-notch, reflecting their expertise in crafting spirits. Additionally, visitors can enjoy a free distillery tour to enhance their experience.
This was honestly one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Canada, and without a doubt it served the best bison burger I have ever had. The burger was perfectly cooked, juicy, and flavorful, with that unique richness you only get from bison meat. It was truly outstanding and absolutely worth the visit on its own. The restaurant also has its own line of alcoholic drinks, including gin and vodka, which I found really impressive. The gin had a pleasant bitterness balanced with fruity notes, which made it refreshing and unique. Along with that, we enjoyed a well-prepared salad, tasty beer, and a memorable pepper soup made with their vodka that stood out as something special. The atmosphere of the restaurant is another highlight. It has a vibrant yet comfortable vibe that makes the experience even more enjoyable. We were seated on the patio, which had a lively and welcoming energy. Unfortunately, the inside was full and we couldn’t get a table indoors because the restaurant was very busy. My recommendation: if you plan to visit, make sure you reserve in advance. It’s absolutely worth it. For me, this place was a top dining experience and I would call it one of the very best restaurants I’ve tried in Canada.

Make a reservation if you have a group bigger than 5. We had 8. Food was delicious. Reasonably priced for Banff. It was busy. A bit squishy to get around, as you are pretty close to the other tables. Sauces were fresh. Service a little slow as it was so busy! Loud, but it adds character to the atmosphere of the distillery. Bathrooms could be a tad cleaner. Overall, I enjoyed it immensely. This was my last time traveling to Banff. It is so overcrowded. No parking available. I like little stress as possible, and the town was insane. Too busy for me and the family.

Came here twice during our visit to Banff, we came back the second time not only because it was a neat environment however the staff was very friendly! It was truly a good experience and consistent both times! Came here the first night for drinks and the bartenders were very personable and friendly! The drinks were good too, so all around we had an excellent experience. Then on Sunday we got engaged and came here for dinner after our lake tours and had another good experience! The food was excellent, yet again the drinks were good and the environment great! They distill and make spirits here and it’s just a cool spot! We throughly enjoyed this place and the bartender gave us a celebratory shot after hearing of our engagement! We will be back during our next visit and know it’ll be the same!!! Thank you

My girlfriend and I stopped at park for lunch with the dogs. We were seated out in the patio right away. Our waiter Sam was fantastic. We split the meat platter and there was nothing left really good. The observation peak cocktail which I had was fantastic very Smokey and smooth! Definitely a great spot to sit relax with a drink and people watch

My group the spicy rigatoni, salmon, chicken and the truffle fries. Everything was delicious! I also had a good Mexican draft beer and Moscow mule cocktail. The cocktail seemed light on alcohol however. We sat outside with a nice view of the street and mountains.

The Bison Restaurant in Banff offers a unique dining experience with its focus on seasonal Canadian cuisine prepared in an open kitchen. The restaurant prides itself on using locally sourced meat and produce, including bison, venison, and duck. Executive chef Brendan Robson showcases his culinary expertise by creating contemporary classics such as bison short ribs, venison striploin, and bison breakfast sandwich.
This was one of those very special dining experiences that we'll talk about for quite some time. The food was absolutely extraordinary. Our server was really wonderful and took great care of us. The atmosphere was great. We tried many of the different foods and then shared dessert and it was absolutely perfect I had the braised bison short rib and keep remembering how good it taste it. I had the cucumber salad but forgot to take a picture of it, it was really really wonderful. Six out of five stars would highly recommend

We have dined here several times over the years and am so happy to have made it back as they have not missed a step at any point and remain our favorite place for fine dining here n town. Simply yum. A thoughtful menu that changes over time for new surprises to discover, with a solid wine menu to pair as u prefer. I love the authentic Caesar and the duck was absolutely divine w the added twist of the confit and that savory yet oh so light broth. Service was top notch once again. Reservations recommended for sure. Enjoy, explore, enjoy some more.

This was our second trip to The Bison and it was just as phenomenal as our first experience two years ago! We absolutely loved the bison short rib and duck during our first visit but wanted to try something new this time. We thoroughly enjoyed the Caesar salad, steak frites and crispy fried chicken!! The flavors along with the textures and contrast was on point! We loved our server, Maria! Thanks for taking such good care of us! Lastly, all of the drinks we have tried (cocktails and wine) have been fantastic too. We will be sure to come back for round 3 the next time we visit Banff!

We managed a last minute reservation for a party of three. We'd been hiking (scruffy but not smelly or covered in mud) and the dining room was upscale but relaxed so we didn't feel out of place. We ordered the Bison Tartar, Venison Steak, Duck, and Spare Ribs... Maybe one of the best meals of my life! I especially loved the venison and I usually hate it. The waiter was friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend this place to anyone interested and will definitely be going back

The Bison Restaurant in Banff absolutely exceeded our expectations! From the moment we walked in, the warm rustic atmosphere and mountain views set the perfect tone for dinner. The service was outstanding — friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. We tried the bison tomahawk, and it was phenomenal — perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of rich, smoky flavor. Every dish was beautifully presented and made with fresh, local ingredients. A truly memorable dining experience in Banff — highly recommended for anyone looking for top-quality Canadian cuisine in a cozy yet elegant setting!
Raymond L — Google review
I love the presentation of our dinner, however, I found the appetizer is quite unbalance. It is overly seasoned that masked the flavor of the main ingredients. We requested outdoor seating because we had our dog with us. Sadly, it is extremely cold- no heater or whatsoever, which is strange! So i would suggest against it. The food is good but not exceptionally good, hence, 4 stars since I think it is overpriced.

The Bison was, far and away, the best meal we had in the Banff area. Every dish we ordered was superb, but the bison tartare was for sure the standout. The grapefruit cocktail also was one of the better cocktails we've had in a really long time. The tomato tarts were perfect, and so was the burrata. The staff were super friendly and charming, and made the whole experience wonderful. Couldn't recommend enough!

Bluebird Wood-Fired Steakhouse is a modern steakhouse in Banff that offers an elevated menu featuring Alberta specialties like prime rib, Bluebird eggs benedict, and souffle pancakes. The drinks menu includes cocktails with spirits from nearby Park Distillery. The restaurant has a mid-century atmosphere and focuses on steakhouse classics with modern twists. It promises a unique dining experience with the best cuts of Alberta beef cooked over a wood-fired grill.
When in Banff and you want a nice night out. I can’t recommend this place enough. The ambience is lovely. The patio is so warm with the table fires, the inside is modern yet still has that rustic Banff feel. The food was incredible. All steaks are cooked on a wood fired grille. Our host Patrick was incredibly friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendations. A reservation is probably needed, especially on weekends.

Walked in on a busy evening and the staff were very kind to seat us - expected an hour wait for the kitchen but it was worth the wait! The steak was cooked to perfection (medium rare)! And extremely tasty. The vegan risotto was a delightful surprise and we aren’t vegans and it was so flavourful and well textured that we could not tell that it has no cheese in it! Would happily order it as a main again! Broccolini was well grilled and generous! Great service as well. One of the more memorable meals that we had in banff ❤️

Lovely spot for breakfast/brunch, and delicious food! We got the eggs benedict and the mountain breakfast, both which were great. Honestly, the sourdough bread was superb (I would go back for this alone, haha) The sausage was a little different than I was expecting (texture/toughness); however, nonetheless, was still a great breakfast overall. My partner stated these were the best egg benedict he's had on the trip - we kept ordering them. The atmosphere is charming, and felt super cozy on a brisk day in Banff. Would absolutely come here again and recommend to everyone!

We stopped in here for a brunch and wow, we got the brunch of our dreams! We got the soufflé pancakes, omelette, farmer’s breakfast, double cheeseburger and the eggs Benedict. I highly recommend adding wild mushrooms to the eggs Benedict - it made it the best eggs Benedict I’ve ever had! The double cheeseburger was smash burger style and the omelette was fluffy. The crispy hashbrown sticks were so unique. We were all super satisfied and the service was incredible!

We totally enjoyed a dinner of a lifetime at the Bluebird. It was so tasty and so delicious … honestly❤️ I don’t usually post reviews but we were so overwhelmed with this place starting with our server Reuben who was top notch and made us feel that we’ve been friends forever. He truly made our anniversary date night memorable. We enjoyed the steak with side dishes and truly it was the tastiest meal ever. The wine was enjoyable too lol. Thank you Bluebird ❤️

We were placed sitting on the lesser side of the restaurant and the fire place side was reserved for the nicer dressed people. Server spilled coffee on the mug and table, saw it, didn't even bother to say sorry or clean it up. Had to clean myself. After that I asked for a clean napkin, still didn't say anything and it took a while to receive a clean napkin, but it did came before our breakfast. We also don't eat pork. Asking for a substitute, they say they have nothing.. like how? Add some extra patatoes, or a pancake, salad, anything, can't think of a substitute? That was really not service friendly. The portions are small and way too expensive for what you get. Pancakes were nice, but were more like a mix of pound cake and pancake kind of thing, not pancakes as we know them. The location is however great, nice historic building, great history.

This restaurant is amazing! From the service to the food, it was an 8/10 experience. Our server was incredibly thoughtful and made sure our large group of family and friends was well taken care of and enjoying the meal.

I would definitely recommend Bluebird Woodfired Steakhouse and look forward to coming back again!

REALLY wanted to love this place. Wanted to eat a steak and have a fine dining experience. THAT did not happen. Three people ordered steaks and they were terribly over cooked (see pictures). Service was wanting and the cooks do not take any suggestions. Don’t try to send your food back, they will rebuke it. The cheese sauce was good but heavy. The halibut was delicious. Go somewhere else to spend $60+ per person.

Stopped in to try the local beer options in Banf. This brewery is a fun place! The staff was friendly and efficient. The black IPA was very good. The place was in a feather mood due to the hockey playoffs. We didn't eat but the food looked good. Overall it was a fun experience.

I’ve eaten here many times over 14years and usually love the food. But tonight we ordered takeout through an app, and my burger came with this awful rotten piece of lettuce! I don’t mean wilted from being in the box, but yellow & brown patches from it being days or weeks old! It was disgusting to find rotten food in my freshly ordered meal!!!

A little late to review but better late than never! On a weekend trip with my mom and sister I insisted we go to Banff ave brewing as it is a favourite of my husband and I. We previously had a lot of the fancier restaurants booked for dinners. We popped in at opening for lunch and we had such a fantastic meal. My mom ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich with fries and she said it was the best “burger” she has ever had and that the fries were absolutely perfect. I ordered a regular burger and have dietary restrictions, our server Jeremiah was so helpful and just overall a wonderful server. He was attentive, funny and knowledgeable. The nitro pina colada was killer. Thank you for a wonderful time as always.

This is a fun brewpub with an excellent selection of permanent and rotating beers on tap - the tasting selection of 6 beers is the way to go. It was fully packed out when we visited owing to the Melissa’s Road Race crowd but were still well served despite longer than usual waits for drinks and food. A good, convenient and causal pit stop for some drinks and grub on the main drag.

Stopped into Banff Ave Brewing and had the 12-oz Wild Warden (Raspberry Rhubarb Sour 6.2%) which was a really good beer that I would have again. This was a nice brewery with more draft options than the Three Bears Brewery nearby. Unfortunately the 2nd floor seating at the balcony lookong out onto the street had all seats taken, otherwise, that seemed like a really nice spot to enjoy a cold beer on a warm day.

We ate outside and was dog friendly. They have daily specials and we tried the fish and chips with poutine fries and the cauliflower app. Everything was fresh and crispy, super tasty. Tried some various beers they had on tap which were great. Def recommend if you are in town.

Block Kitchen + Bar is a trendy and lively spot in Banff, offering a diverse selection of small plates with an Asian twist. This relatively new addition to the dining scene has quickly gained popularity for its tapas-style menu featuring influences from Izakaya and other Asian cuisines, all made with locally sourced ingredients.
Great experience overall, with couple items falling short but the rest carried. Loved the ahi tuna, nice light entree with a great slaw. The bone marrow and the fried chicken app should not be skipped either. Chicken was crispy and moist, and sauce it was tossed in good. The creme brullee dessert was absolutely fantastic, we ordered a second one after finishing the first. Rilletes and ribs not so great, would pass on those. Tokyo fries delicious to share. Small restaurant so there can be a wait.

Saw the reviews about the ramen curry and had to try it. It was incredible! There were a lot of toppings in it, so much flavor and it was a good portion. My bf got the thai curry mussels w pita bread. He said they might have been the best mussels hes ever had and cleaned the bowl 😅 We both agreed we could have gone without the tiramisu brownie dessert. The top has caramelized sugar, middle is a tiramisu cream layer, and the bottom is brownie. It was unique but not amazing. The service was good, the waitress always came by at a good time. This place is so small, it probably seats aorund 20 people at once. Super cool place! Wish I could have tried more things cause everything sounded so good.

My husband and I had dinner at Block on our recent trip to Banff and WOW was it amazing! We've been coming to Banff for 10 years and I cannot believe this was the first time we tried it. Everything was so delicious from the karaage chicken to the lettuce wraps to the dumplings and even the dessert. We also got a side of the in house kimchi and it was 10/10. Our server was also wonderful and treated us so well! I would highly recommend block the next time you're in Banff, especially if you like tappas style food!

Food was very good! We had the bison burger, duck poutine and matcha cheesecake. Great service! Would definitely come back to try more of their dishes.

Initially came here to try out their duck poutine and curry ramen but unfortunately it was only available on their lunch menu and we came for dinner. Luckily the two dishes we got instead were really good. To fill our duck craving we got their duck spring rolls rich had the perfect crunch paired with an incredible dipping sauce that I’ve never had with spring rolls before. Extra points for the presentation! My girlfriend has never had bison before so we went with the smoked bison & pesto flat bread. We both enjoyed it and I think every ingredient on it was great and worked well together. If I’m ever back in Banff I’ll be sure to come back and try their lunch menu.

Our server was one of the most attentive servers ever! Amy maybe? She was On top of it! Nice high-top outside on a beautiful afternoon. Had a bottle of the Montrose Rose ($58) paired with Three Dips & Nann ($14) that was a tasty treat and delicious! Hard to choose a favorite. Next were the Wagyu Beef Gyozas ($17) and the beef was so tender inside. Fantastic! Finished with a Vegan Bao ($8.75). Never had one before and jury is still out on the Bao but it was packed nicely and veggies were fresh and tasty. Make this a stop! You won't be sorry.

Hello Sunshine Sushi & Karaoke is a unique restaurant in Banff that combines the ambiance of a ski lodge with a Japanese karaoke bar. It offers a variety of Japanese cuisine, including sushi, ramen, and barbecue, as well as creative options like Cheeseburger Gyoza and Crispy Nori Chips and Dip.
Chicken ramen is a 10 out of 10. The garlic broth felt warm and comforting. The gourmet California roll was just okay for me. What I liked the most was the dine-in environment. It was very cozy, and the decor and color scheme were really pleasant. The service was excellent, and the staff kept smiling throughout the entire visit.

Love the decor - the restaurant is really modern and has lots of natural light from the street-facing window. The hostess was friendly and we were seated quickly even though it was a weekend. The menu is small but has a bit of everything. Everyone enjoyed their food. Our favourite dish was the scallops which were absolutely phenomenal, but was prepared completely differently from the description in the menu. They also do karaoke in the evenings, but we didn't have a chance to try it.

A great final dinner to cap off our time in Banff. The atmosphere is fun and the staff is friendly. I forgot to write a note down for her name, but special shout out to our awesome Kiwi/Aussie server who was serving across the restaurant and making drinks. She was great. We ordered a lot of the menu. Highlights included the Chicken Karagge, A5 Wagyu (which they have a very good price on and the chef cooks perfectly), and the Maui Wowie rolls which were 50% off for happy hour ($6.70 USD for a set of 8 sizeable rolls is a steal in the US). They have great Pork Bao buns here, and I tried bites of the Chicken Teriyaki and the Lobster Fried rice, both of which are stellar even though they weren't my main. If you're coming here for value, slam a bunch of the half price Sushi for happy hour. If you want to try a bunch of stuff, just order a bunch of the amazing Apetizers. Everything we tried was great.

Definitely a new favourite spot in Banff! The service is friendly and quick, and even on a weekend the restaurant was not too busy, although a reservation is recommended. During happy hour, select dishes like some of sushi is 50% off and they did not disappoint. The Maui wowie roll is tropical and the fresh tastes fresh. The pork tonkotsu ramen is flavorful, the egg is soft in the center, and the noodles are cooked well. As a person preference, the pork was too fatty but that doesn’t take away from the 5-star experience

Dining at this Japanese restaurant was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. The moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted by a serene atmosphere filled with the calming scent of freshly cooked rice, miso, and grilled seafood. The interior design was elegant yet minimal — soft lighting, clean lines, and subtle Japanese décor that made the space feel both peaceful and inviting. Every detail reflected authenticity and care, setting the perfect stage for what turned out to be a truly memorable meal. The food was exceptional. Each dish was beautifully presented, almost like a work of art, and every bite captured the true essence of Japanese cuisine — fresh, balanced, and full of umami. The sushi was incredibly fresh, with perfectly seasoned rice and fish that melted in my mouth. The ramen had a deep, flavorful broth that tasted like it had been simmered for hours, rich and comforting with perfectly cooked noodles and tender slices of pork. I also tried the tempura, which was light, crisp, and golden without being greasy — exactly how tempura should be. The service was just as impressive as the food. The staff were attentive, polite, and knowledgeable about the menu. They explained the ingredients and even recommended sake pairings that complemented the flavors beautifully. Every interaction felt genuine and respectful, staying true to the warm hospitality Japan is known for. It’s rare to find a restaurant that combines authenticity, quality, and atmosphere so perfectly. Whether you’re craving sushi, ramen, or simply a quiet evening filled with exquisite flavors, this place delivers beyond expectations. I left feeling satisfied, relaxed, and excited to return. Truly, this Japanese restaurant deserves all five stars — a hidden gem that captures the heart of Japan right here in town.

Came here on our first night in Banff and ended up coming back on our last night as well. Was able to walk in without a reservation both times, but it does get busy! The vibe is awesome—think SF meets Japan meets ski town. I love that they have all the dietary indicators on the menu since I am someone who has to be dairy free. Highly recommend the non alcoholic matcha colada for the drink. This dishes we loved so much that we ordered them both times were the dragon roll, the shishito peppers, and the chicken karaage. The nigiri was fresh and delicious as well. Would highly recommend!

Nestled on the second floor of a charming building on Main Street in downtown Banff, Chuck's Steakhouse is a delightful blend of sophistication and casual comfort. This eatery boasts stunning views of Banff Avenue while serving up an impressive selection of locally sourced steaks, including grass-fed Wagyu and prime beef from Alberta’s Cowboy Trail. Each cut is expertly dry-aged in-house and grilled over mesquite wood before being finished with herbs and butter for that perfect flavor.
Our experience at Chuck’s was truly outstanding. We ordered the seasonal surf and turf, which was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The sides—macaroni and cheese and asparagus—were just as impressive. I’ll admit, I was skeptical about the honey in the mac and cheese, so we asked for it on the side. But wow—what a surprise! The touch of sweetness paired so well with the richness of the dish. I never would’ve thought to try it, but now I’m a fan. Great food, great service—Chuck’s is definitely worth the visit.

Not a bad steakhouse but what I ordered didn't surprise me. The "Alberta steaks" that are a main selling point at a lot of restaurants in the area including this one just have not impressed me and I don't think they are worth the money. The peppercorn sauce I got as well wasn't that impressive either as I have had better peppercorn sauces from other places. Overall not bad for a nice meal but don't expect to be wowed.

Lovely steak house atmosphere. Knowledgeable staff who can explain everything on the menu. Food was stunning of the eyes and even better on the palette. Our server wipped us up an amazing Cesar salad tableside and the steaks and sides were perfect. The salmon is unbelievably excellent. The steaks- perfect. The sides, quite complimentary! Black ale beer is a perfect companion for your meal. Would definitely do again. Not to be confused with Chucks Roadhouse!

Me and my wife wanted to spend our anniversary at a nice steakhouse and we did not go wrong with Chucks. Made a reservation and we arived 15 mins early and they got us a seat right away. In no time Jess, our server, was there with a smile on her face. She was the absolute best, very friendly, helpful and prompt. After we ordered, the food was on our table in no time and it was exceptional. The Wagyu tenderlion was the best steak we have ever eaten and was cooked to perfection. The sides were portioned well and tasted excellent. There was a good selection of alcohol and Jess was very fast at getting our drinks to us and refilling our water without even asking. After the meal they even offered a desert on the house for our occasion. The whole experience was amazing and very relaxing. Not rushed at all. We would recommend everyone to try the steaks here and to go to Chuck's if ever given the oppurtunity.

Had an incredible experience at Chuck’s! They had a special on that included an appetizer, steak, three sides, and dessert, which was an amazing value for the quality and portions. We also ordered the tableside Caesar and mushrooms, plus a bottle of wine. The steak was absolutely amazing, perfectly cooked, flavorful, and easily one of the I’ve had. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed dinner after a day in the mountains. Service was attentive and friendly without being overbearing. Overall, a fantastic dining experience, I highly recommend for anyone craving a great steak in a warm, welcoming setting.

It’s not easy to make our family feel satisfied at same time. 2 kids, 2 seniors and we couple. Actually we go to the Maple Leaf at first. The lady at front desk refused me not only by her words but also by her attitude-no eye contact while refusing. We are lucky to turn to Chuck’s. The lady at front desk here did not answer us very quickly. She checked then let us in. Everything is just right. I have to say, kids menu really shocked me. So good quality and so big portions! Amazing! Prime ribeye has a little bit more fat for us. The original beef flavour is excellent even without black pepper and salt. If you don’t like too much seaning or sauce, this could be a good option. For my parents, I chose beef rib as suggested. True tender, easy for seniors. They like the sauce flavour. Charred broccoli is much better than in other restaurants. It’s another surprise. While we are having dinner, our waitress (sorry I didn’t ask her name) forget our drinks. When we got the bill, this part is free for us. I like their work style. Humble, amiable, facing problems directly and taking the initiative to assume responsibilities. A truly worthy restaurant!

We had dinner at Chuck’s our last night in Banff after several people recommended it. It did not disappoint! Chucks was the best meal we had our entire trip. From the minute we walked in we were treated like royalty. We had just gotten married and they made a point to acknowledge that with complimentary bubbles and over the top service. Our server Tommy was incredible! He was the best server we have had at any restaurant and we travel a lot. He recommended an amazing Canadian wine and made the experience memorable. We got the burrata, table side Caesar, and the Ribeye-all not to be missed! Also the banana cream pie was one of the best desserts we have ever had! We had dinner at the highly recommended 1888 chophouse the night prior to this and there was no comparison. We would come back to Chuck’s over and over! Thank you Tommy for the incredible service and the entire crew for making this a memorable experience for our special time in Banff!

Super happy with my experience at Chucks! A beautiful view and the beef was unreal, we ordered the prime sirloin and prime rib as suggested by the waiter. We also got 3 sides, French fries, broccolini and mushrooms. I would say mushrooms were the least favorite, expected more flavour as it’s was just cooked in butter. Highly recommend!!

Bear Street Tavern is a rustic and laid-back hangout located on Bear Street in Banff. It's known for serving thin-crust pizza and Canadian pub grub, along with a variety of craft beers on tap. The tavern offers a casual rooftop and street-level patio where visitors can enjoy their meals. Despite not having an extensive pizza menu, the quality of their pizzas is highly praised.
This place is really nice to have a lunch or dinner. I ordered Baked chicken wings and big bird pizza and I literally had best pizza of my entire life. It was so fresh and yummy that we ate 2 and packed 1 for dinner. I also loved their patio set up and they have those little heaters with fire on the table which kept us so warm on a chilly day. Me and my friends spent great time there. Our server was also really good and she had good recommendations for us sadly I don't remember her name now. But overall it was an amazing experience.

Great spot for pizzas and pints. We prefer sitting at the bar to better explore the ample bier offerings w the help of the friendly and knowledgeable bar keeps. The salad I had(see pic) had a delightfully light and zesty dressing, not overdone at all. The pepperoni they use is definitely a spicy blend which I prefer and cuts well w the salty cheesiness. The margherita pizza was nice but I really prefer more of the fresh sweet Italian basil w it to pair w the acidity and spice of the red sauce, but that’s just me. Glad we dropped in once again to enjoy the warm and lively atmosphere.

A very nice eatery in Banff, that has a great patio and as with a lot of restaurants in town, is also pet friendly. The staff was very accommodating and patient with our party of eight plus dog. The pizza and wings were great, though the Cubano was a bit too sauce heavy unfortunately, though still tasty. Overall an excellent experience.

Ended up coming twice during our trip to Banff because the pizza was so delicious and the vibes were perfect for after a long day of hiking. In our two trips we had the pepperoni pizza, elk pizza, and pineapple pizza all of which were fantastic. We also shared a French onion soup and the shrimp Bao; the shrimp Bao were very yummy but portions were a bit tiny for the price. The special beer was a boisenberry variant which had a lovely tang and acidity. Also tried the maple old fashioned which was very much on the sweeter side. Highly recommend!

The restaurant is modern and beautifully designed, perfectly fitting Banff’s mountain theme. There are several seating areas across multiple floors, both indoors and outdoors. The atmosphere is inviting, relaxed, and full of local character. The service was very friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious, clearly made with quality ingredients. We ordered the elk pizza — creative and well-prepared. Personally, I might choose a different one next time, only because the elk flavor was subtle, more of a hearty protein addition than a distinct taste. Still, it was enjoyable and well-balanced. The French onion soup was outstanding — rich, flavorful, and just right for a cool day in Banff. The mozzarella and toasted bread were perfectly done. Overall, a great experience — wonderful service, good atmosphere, and food that reflects care and craftsmanship. “Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” (1 Corinthians 10:31) Keep doing what you do with excellence and kindness — it truly makes a difference.

Tied for the best meal I had on my two week holiday across Western Canada. And certainly the best lunch by far! We stopped in Banff on our way back to Calgary from Jasper to see the town one last time. We had quite a bit of time so we decided to have lunch and the place we picked wasn’t open until dinner time. The Bear Street Tavern was next-door. What a lucky surprise?! We sat in the courtyard outside and it was charming. The team waiting on us couldn’t be more pleasant or helpful. It’s not a huge menu, which we actually quite liked and I had the Tavern bowl, which was a super tasty kale based vegan salad. I had a chicken because I’m not a vegan, and this salad was incredibly good. The dressing with sublime, the taste and balance of flavour amazing. And it was huge, my husband and I could’ve shared it easily. My husband had the sub sandwich and it was so good really fresh wonderful Italian Chili peppers. I’m originally from New York and that sub sandwich looked really authentic. Did not have big expectations, and I loved this place . I would say it was more lunch than dinner but depends on what mood you’re in and how much food you had all day but you won’t go hungry here and they also do pizza .

It was our third visit to the pub: 2000, 2018, and this year. Whenever we visit Banff, we always have one of our meals at this Irish pub, and it never disappoints. The food was good, the servers were very attentive, and the atmosphere was great as well. The only downside was that the beer, Innis & Gunn, had a slightly different taste than the one I had in Edinburgh. I noticed a flowery note—I’m not sure if it was just me. I don’t know when we’ll visit Banff again, but I’m sure we’ll come back to the pub for another meal and some drinks.

Unfortunately my partner and I were in agreement that this was the singular bad experience we had throughout our entire stay in the Banff area. On the positive side, the decor is good, as is the layout and the quality of the Guinness is as good as home which I wasn't expecting. The service though was dire! Really poor attitude from the staff who were gruff at best, and down right rude at worst. First drink was slammed down on the bar, spilling it as if we'd offended the man (which we hadn't really interacted with). He proceeded to them ignore us despite us sitting at the bar with empty glasses looking for his attention to order another. His colleagues were no better. Observed serving clearly very inebriated patrons repeatedly and regularly at the other side of the bar throughout this time. Very unprofessional and not representative of warm service that Irish bars are renowned for the world over, I'm sorry to say.

Nestled in the heart of Banff, Eddie Burger + Bar is a must-visit for burger enthusiasts. This casual eatery offers creatively crafted burgers, poutine, and boozy milkshakes that put an adult twist on a childhood classic. The Rocky Mountain burger, featuring an elk patty with blueberry chutney, cheddar, romaine lettuce, sauteed onion and mayo on a brioche bun is a standout choice.
Every time we're in Banff we never miss going to Eddie Burger and I'm so glad they've retained the menu over the years because their burgers are delicious! My husband likes the bison and I usually order a classic, but the elk burger is also amazing. Onion rings are also particularly good, as well as the milkshake. The large portion sizes are well-worth and the service was excellent. The only con is the limited seating so you might want to stop by here first to get on the waiting list and then walk around town.

Great burger spot in the Heart of Banff, right where all the action is, and surrounded by historic architecture. The service was excellent and the food is too! The poutine was enormous, made with high quality cheese curds, delicious vegetarian gravy, and crispy crinkle fries! I had the house made, spiced veggie burger, made like a smash burger - it was the bomb! I added onion, and it was a 10/10! Onion rings on the side are made fresh to order, beer battered and also done right! If you’re looking for a good burger in Banff, you’ve found it!

After a poor visit to Magpie and a stump in Banff Alberta, the owner reached out to me to apologize and make it right. We final had a chance to visit Banff again and visited The Eddie Burger + Bar, which is one of their member restaurants. This visit was spectacular. From the service to the food. We could not be more impressed. The location is not large but it is quaint and cozy. Our server explained their menu from the standard food items to the customize your burger menu. You use a dry erase marker on a special menu where you pick out the options you want. Very cool idea and works wonderful in a burger joint. I opted for the classic Eddie burger while my table mates chose the customized option. Over all the food was delicious and hot. A great stop if you like a great classic burger.

Been to The Eddie Burger in Banff a few times and it’s always delicious. The fries are well-seasoned, the burgers are big and top-notch, and I love the create-your-own burger option.

I have tried many burgers in Europe(almost in every country),North-America and South-America. Here, I had the chance to try The Rocky Mountain(with Elk patty). In my humble opinion, this was THE BEST BURGER in my life, the taste is incredible and it just melts in your mouth, you have to try it. My wife was not that keen on having Burgers for dinner(three days in a row). The staff is very friendly and always happy to help you. They have an amazing thing going on here, I do hope that they keep it up. When we are in Banff again, we definitely going to have dinner here. Just try it and you won't be dissapointed.

The café was always busy, with a queue of customers waiting to get in. There were seats available inside, on the patio, and in shady spots in the alley. We arrived too late to order a breakfast sandwich, but the smoked sandwich we chose as a substitute was excellent. The homemade sourdough bread was fresh and crispy after being heated, and the meat was juicy and flavorful! For dessert, we ordered the almond croissant. It was flaky and fresh, with a delightful crispy almond topping. Lovely place with friendly staff, highly recommend!

Wild Flour is a lovely spot in Banff if you’re craving fresh baked goods and a cozy café vibe. The pastries and breads are excellent – the croissants were buttery and flaky, and the sourdough is worth taking home. Coffee and lattes were good, though not always the most consistent, and prices are on the higher side (pretty normal for Banff). The café does get busy during peak times, so expect a bit of a line, but the staff are generally friendly and efficient. Great place to relax with a coffee or grab something to fuel up before exploring the mountains.

I only ordered an Americano and chocolate croissant but I saw how delectable all their other pastries and sandwiches looked. If there was anything I could say that would make this place perfect - is I wish there was just a wee bit more chocolate in the chocolate croissant. This is a busy bakery/cafe! Be prepared for a lineup during busy times and possibly needing to grab a seat outside (which is also beautiful).

I really enjoyed bowling here. It’s a small bowling alley so we made a reservation. We also enjoyed the happy hour wings. The maple soy wings were some of the best I’ve had!

Amazing bowling and 0.59c wings at happy hour. So affordable and amazing service by Katelyn. It was her first day but it didn’t seem like it. Cool, calm collected and so attentive. Thanks high rollers for a great evening!

In town on our cross-Canadia road trip. Headed into High Rollers for some bowling and beers. Such a blast. Good drinks and our server (aka "Winnipeg") was personable and on top of things. Great dude. Oh, and they have great OG video game options. Best to book bowling in advance. Recommend.

My partner and I came for dinner and bowling last Friday night. I didn’t get out waitresses name but she was absolutely lovely and she looked after us from dinner over to our bowling. Great food, definitely a loud environment but that’s to be expected. Definitely want to return when we come back! :)

Austin K — Google review
Gave it a 4 because it’s not a place to come if you take bowling seriously. It’s a super fun place to party, dance, drink, play games, but if you’re a bowler this isn’t the place to come if you’re used to curving the ball and going for high scores. The pins are attached to strings. The ball return ramp is too close to the lane, and the lanes probably haven’t had a machine move over them in years. This is a great place to party, get drunk and have a good time but if you come here to specifically bowl then this isn’t the pace for you.

Hankki in Banff is a Calgary-based Korean restaurant located on Buffalo Street, offering affordable and delicious Korean food. The menu features popular items like corndogs with options like mozzarella sausage combo and the 'ugly potato,' which is coated in potatoes. Customers praise the great prices, quick service, and incredible flavors made with fresh ingredients. The Korean BBQ cupbop and honey butter fries are highly recommended dishes.
It was a great restaurant in Banff town with reasonable pricing. For about $15 or under of a rice bowl, I got plenty of food. We came on a Sunday during lunch time and the restaurant was crowded, but we didn't have to wait for a long time to get the food. Food was fresh and tasted delicious! They also sell dessert, which I didn't try but they looked good! Will definitely come back again and try their dessert!

Good fast food. Small area with little seating inside, but there's a long bench along the outside under an overhang. Seems to be quality fresh ingredients. I liked the glass window into the small kitchen area so you can see your meal being put together. We tried the level 1 spicy sauce which had a bit of a bite. Depending on how hungry, one large bowl was good to share for two. All the rice is at the bottom, so mix well if you don't want to finish with just rice.

Went here on a Tuesday night. Ordered 2 bowls and some honey buttered fries. The bowls were quite tasty and good value. The fries were a little strange since they had a sweet taste to it. Could not finish the fries. Staff were friendly and service was quick. Then got a mango bingsu for dessert which was delicious! Would definitely recommend this place. Tastes very authentic.

The upscale dining rooms are adorned with rough-hewn logs, local rundlestone rock, Canadian art, and unique decor such as a canoe on the ceiling and snowshoes on the walls.
We had a wonderful dinner with our family of 10. Everything we ordered — from the grilled meats to seafood and kids’ pasta — was delicious. The server was super friendly and explained the dishes very kindly, which we really appreciated. We asked if there were any coloring activities for the kids — they didn’t have anything prepared, but they brought us blank paper and pens, which was a nice touch. Highly recommended!

We had a really nice brunch here. We'd spotted the restaurant the morning before whilst exploring the town centre and weren't disappointed with our visit. Due to roadworks going on the main entrance wasnt accessible but there were clear signs directing us how to access the lift and alternative entrance where we had a cheery welcome from the staff and got spoilt rotten by Nisha who served us. We both had Eggs Benedict (Mine with Canadian Bacon and my Partners with Smoked Salmon which came with Hash potatoes. Nisha also helpfully pointed out to us that we could have them with a mimosa for the same price. We didn't need to be told twice so we had one with Passion fruit and the other with grapefruit. Options I've never tried before but most definitely will in the future. All throughout our meal Nisha an her colleague (whose name we didn't get, sorry!) who had welcomed us checked up on us and refreshed our coffee mugs and water. Nisha also gave us tips on visiting Tunnel Mountain where we were headed off to for our hike afterwards. Altogether a lovely meal experience. Thanks guys!

The atmosphere was good and service was fast. We ordered duck wings, cowboy steak, tenderloin and gnocchi. I liked the wings and cowboy steak! The steak was tender and juicy. The wings were savory! The only thing I didn't like was the gnocchi. It was too dry and I didn't feel any potatoes at all. It was like flour balls.

We celebrated my partner’s birthday here and had such a lovely experience. The staff were warm and welcoming, and they even surprised us a complimentary dessert for the birthday celebrant—which was absolutely delicious and such a thoughtful touch. We started with the Cast Iron Crab Gratin Dip, which was creamy and packed with flavor. For mains, we had the Signature Maple Salmon & Prawns and the 18oz Alberta Cowboy Steak—both cooked perfectly. We paired everything with a glass of Ice Wine, which added a sweet finish to the meal. The atmosphere was cozy and elegant, perfect for a special occasion. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a memorable dining experience in Banff.

We had lunch and dinner (within a couple days of wach other) here. Food was great. Service was good and the atmosphere was okay. Although we were at window seats, our view was of construction on the street. It is obviously not their fault, but it contributed to our experience, especially as we were on vacation. The food however, brought us back!

Came here for a quick lunch. I had the duck with orange sauce and maple syrup — my god, the sweetest thing I’ve ever tasted, and the duck itself wasn’t great (plus no sides). My girlfriend’s chicken burger, on the other hand, was really good — a bit spicy but delicious. Service was fine.

Had breakfast here with the family. Friendly enough staff on arrival and lovely flowers at the front door! Pretty much everything you would expect for a breakfast eatery. I always get a bit freaked out by loads of ketchup / sauce bottles open on a display as I worry about how long they have been there- how can you track the dates of all those bottles?? The decor was a bit confused and I couldn’t work out the vibe…..Masquerade masks 🎭 on the wall along with jazz instruments and a suspended ceiling with 80s style Miami Vice curved arches. But don’t be put off. The food was really good🤨I ate strawberry waffles with cream, my son blasted through chocolate choc chip buttermilk pancakes and my Wife really enjoyed buttermilk pancakes, maple syrup , Canadian 🇨🇦 bacon and cream. We washed this down with tea and water. It is worth noting my son is a pancake expert with real world experience and he rated them highly!

The restaurant's commitment to sustainability extends beyond their food, as they follow eco-friendly practices. Despite being located at the end of downtown, it boasts the largest wood-fired clay oven in Canada and offers traditional or gluten-free crust options with a variety of fresh toppings.
Stopped in for lunch. Most of our group got pizzas. I ordered a salad because they had goat cheese & figs in the salad & I needed my greens. Food was amazing. Staff was very accommodating while also being sharp/ funny. Place has a great vibe. Truly gourmet pizzas. If you have small picky young eaters in your group; they have a simple garlic cheesy bread that is just lightly garlicky with plenty of cheese & I think either a red sauce or ranch. They were busy but still managed to refill our waters throughout the meal. Definitely worth a stop.

Had lunch here with a group and couldn't be happier with our choice! The pizzas were truly gourmet quality - you can taste the difference in ingredients and preparation. What really stood out was the staff - they were incredibly accommodating which created such a welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant has a fantastic vibe that makes you want to linger. Even though they were clearly busy, our server kept our water glasses full and made sure we had everything we needed. Their garlic cheesy bread is perfect - just the right amount of garlic with plenty of cheese, and you can get it with red sauce or ranch on the side. Rocky Mountain Flat Bread delivers on both food quality and hospitality.

Had a really great time here last night, the food was delicious and the toppings felt fresh, there’s options for everyone. We also had the feature soup which was also really tasty! Our server Stephanie was amazing also. Yes the pizza prices are a bit elevated, however it is a smaller tourist town so considering what the other options in the area are, I found it to be reasonable for what you received. Beers etc are actually comparable to regular prices elsewhere. Overall, it’s a family business, foods great, vibes are amazing, the only bad thing I have to say is that they aren’t big enough for the crowds they get!

The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed — a nice spot for a late morning meal. Service was pleasant and the staff were friendly and attentive. The food was just okay overall. Nothing particularly memorable or unique. One downside was the sourdough bread — it was really hard. Biting into it actually hurt my gums, which definitely took away from the experience. On the bright side, the drinks were quite good. Both the coffee and the hot chocolate were well made, flavorful, and comforting — probably the highlight of the meal. In summary, it’s an alright place if you’re not expecting too much. Great drinks, decent service, but the food (especially the bread) could use some improvement.

I went here for an anniversary dinner with my wife and the staff experience was fantastic. The view outside of the Banff area was stunning. The roll arrived with three different kinds of butters made in house (garlic, mango and black truffle). The salmon mousse amuse bouche was good along with our main courses (beef striploin and duck). I think that the beef was a little overcooked (for my medium-rare request). The "deconstructed" lemon cake was divine and the cheeses were just the right size.

Our server, Yvonne, just made our experience that much better. She was friendly, honest, and to be perfectly honest, we wouldn't have enjoyed our experience as much as we did if it wasn't for Yvonne. The view was breathtaking, especially at sunset. One thing this restaurant could improve is the atmosphere. It didn't feel as intimate as we would have liked as it's just a sectioned off part of a larger dining hall. Other than that, I would highly recommend Three Ravens and hopefully will have the opportunity to come back!

It's a rarity these days for food to look as beautiful as it tastes. Three Ravens is able accomplish this in leaps and bounds. The menu embraces the location and beauty of Banff and the surrounding areas with local ingredients and capturing those ingredients at their prime. If you are looking to be surprised in a good way, come with an open mind and an empty stomach, you will not be disappointed.

Shared and exquisite meal with my wife and son here this past week. Our waiter Daniel was first class and provided us an amuse bouche on the house. The other waiters were quite tickled with our little rambunctious 15 month old and that was more than appreciated as it’s always a point of contention taking our son out. Overall, the price, the ambience and the quality and taste of the food make for one of the best food experiences I’ve had to date. My wife had the bear and flower rabbit and I had the bison steak.

Tommy's Neighbourhood Pub, located in Banff, Alberta, is a cozy and inviting spot popular among both locals and tourists. With its warm ambiance and wide selection of beers on tap, it's the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring the Canadian Rockies. The pub offers delicious pub grub including hearty burgers and fries for a memorable dining experience. Boasting over two decades in business, this quintessential mountain-town pub is cherished by locals for its affordable drinks and laid-back vibe.
This might have become our families favorite watering hole while in Banff. My wife and I have been going here for years to sit and have a drink and play some darts while wondering downtown. This year with the kids we thought hey lets go get a burger and play some darts. The kids loved it, and we found out they can stay until 10pm. So the the Steak Sandy was on special so we got 3 of those and my son picked up a Burger. The food was good pub food and the burger was rated 9.5 out of 10. The service was on point and we didn't have to wait at all. Playing darts was great, we usually bring out own, but I know you can ask at the bar to get a set if you need them. We had so much fun with such a chill evening.

Tommy's offers a small outdoor patio. It's a few steps below the sidewalk, which is great for getting away from the street noise and the wind.. it's pet friendly as well. The staff are very friendly and pleasant 😊. They offer a steak sandwich during happy hour. It's very good 👍.

Came in for some late food, but alas the kitchen had just closed a few minutes earlier at 10 PM. So, had just a beer instead. Asked for some recommendations, and eventually picked the most basic of beers, which is always good measuring stick. As for the beer. Cold. Like really. But actually for the type of beer, basically on point. Pint sized, which is really only useful if you can drink that fast enough, without your beer heating up too much. They should ask size if they offer multiple. No head though, virtually non-existent. My Belgian heart bled there. Price was on point. The atmosphere, lively despite it being not too crowded. Some tables talking, some in the back playing darts. Music too loud though, or the speaker near the first table on the right is positioned very poorly. The waitress was sublime though. Friendly, helpful, and multiple check-ins on how I was doing.

Known for their scones which were terrible. Tragically we spit them out. Didn’t want to waste the calories on them. They were bad biscuits with 2 blueberries on top. Not like any scone I’ve ever eaten and I’ve eaten plenty! The cinnamon rolls were below average but edible. We also ordered danishes but they didn’t add them to our bag. Luckily we weren’t charged for them.

Came in during the lunch hour specifically for the long horns, only to find out they were sold out. Seriously? They’re only available on Fridays (Saturday is a joke), and you can’t even keep them in stock during peak hours? Disappointing. While I was waiting, the staff served the person behind me first, which was infuriating after waiting 15+mins. Then I watched them drop the tongs and just use them again like nothing happened. Really unhygienic. I asked for the jam cookies with icing sugar, and of course, I was given the wrong ones. To top it all off, they used to have these amazing almond triangles that I loved but alas, just like their service and quality lately, they’re gone too. Pass on this one too. Edit: not sure who you or your staff are referring to but I wasn’t able to purchase your ‘cream horns’ you were sold out

So disappointed, you spend more than a 100$ on sushis, "special" rolls goes for 23$ when they are made with imitation crab, most of them. The tempura broccoli were not even cook on the inside, rendering it inedible. The algae on the sushi wasnt fully around the rolls, so the sushi break apart as you pick it up, then you pick up the pieces to eat. I think these things can be improved. Thank you.

For the price the food was not worth it- the house special roll was ok needed pizzaz; the la galbi was overpriced considering the portion sizes; the wait staff also did not accommodate us for a booth as they said they were holding out for big parties and we were only 2 adults and a toddler. Wife was not happy. We were really unhappy with the overall experience. Very dated interior.

I feel it’s important to share our experience. This restaurant is not kid-friendly at all. From the moment we walked in, we felt unwelcome. The sushi tasted stale and far from fresh, which was very disappointing. The staff showed little regard for customer service, and to make matters worse, the owner was unexpectedly rude and offensive when we tried to politely express our concerns. Instead of addressing the issue professionally, we were met with hostility. If you value good food and respectful treatment, I’d strongly recommend avoiding this place altogether. There are many other spots nearby that actually care about their customers. Save yourself the unnecessary stress.

The Canadian Brewhouse in Banff is a sports bar that perfectly blends the love for sports and Canadian heritage. It's a popular spot for locals and tourists to gather, enjoy great food, strong drinks, and cheer for their favorite hockey teams. The atmosphere is lively, especially during live matches with multiple screens showing the games. Located in downtown Banff, it offers fulfilling meals accompanied by live music and an amazing ambiance.
This is the best value / quality / experience I've had in the village over the last few days. There are lots of options for dinner, lunch, and breakfast; however, this has been the best spot so far. Lots of options for kids and adults, paired with exceptional service and great views. The food and drinks were fast to the table, tasty, and good quality. I would certainly go again.

The Canadian Brewhouse has a lot going for it visually. The beautiful mountain view and spacious layout are definitely impressive. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to the setting. The atmosphere was overwhelmingly loud, making it hard to have a conversation. The servers came across as rude and inattentive, which was disappointing. As for the food, it lacked seasoning and fell flat in terms of flavor. The one redeeming factor was the perfectly chilled beers, which were refreshing and enjoyable. A great spot for drinks, but not much else.

Please stay open, this place is fantastic! The vibe and also the drinks. I had such a stellar time here and drank some of the most delicious drinks. Namely the barrel aged gin the moment I sipped on this neat liquor I had an explosion of caramel and vanilla and it’s just the most fantastic gin I’ve ever tasted. They make great stickers and some cool merch and so far everyone I have met that works there is really cool too! Bravo! I added some pictures but they are not from the place gifts I brought back with me🤣 only regret is getting the small bottles of the gin! Should have gone with the big ones! Don’t make my mistakes!

After trying their rye in a cocktail program from a Drumheller establishment, I knew I had to stop in the next time I was staying around Canmore and Banff. The service was second to none even on the Friday of easter weekend, and all of the spirits were absolutely exceptional. All of the various spirit flavour profiles felt complete and deliberate. I came in to try their cocktail program and spent most of my time trying the spirits straight up as they are more than capable of speaking for themselves. It is my hope they find as much success as possible while adhering to their current values as I believe they are a steward of what Alberta distillieries are capable of. Bring a DD.

Loved this off the downtown path location .. after being overwhelmed all week with tourism and overpopulated spots.. This was super refreshing! The drinks were amazing! I work and have worked in the service industry for 8 years and love a flavorful strong drinks , and this hit the spot . Make it for happy hour weekdays from 6-8 , and you're getting a 15$ drink for 8$! This is a must stop! We had a long day at Banff hiking and needed a good drink with amazing views by the way. ONLY critique, would be the parking... You drive around the building and everything is "reserved for individual businesses" ,so just park on the street and enjoy 🤓

Friends, this place is an excellent time. If you get the bartender/manager Rick expect for the experience to be elevated at least 10x. The drinks are incredible, the ice cube is the largest cocktail ice cube I have ever seen which itself is so impressive (large ice cubes in block form make the whiskey experience so much better and this one is top notch). And the black walnut bitters is top notch, for an old fashioned drinker it is fantastic.

We had such a good time! They have special cocktails 🍸 and between 6-8 on the weekdays, they have happy hour on some of the beverages.

Tourist beware ! Sampled some of their products at the market and they told us about happy hour $8 cocktails at their tasting room from 6-8. We decided to go. Told the bar tender we were there for happy hour. We ordered the community cocktail and solar therapy. We asked about happy hour and he told use the community cocktail wasn't part of the happy which we understood since part goes to charity. Drinks were pretty good. Then the bartender came around 5 mins till 8 and asked if we wanted to order any more drinks before happy hour ended. We ordered a arriba margarita and an all fired up. Both were pretty good. When we asked for the bill we paid before really looking at it, but then realized none of the drinks were happy hour prices. We asked and she told us none of the drinks we ordered were part of happy hour. She laughed and asked if everything was OK. But she stated there was nothing she could do. So we left with a sour taste. We both felt like we were bamboozled, misled, or possibly scammed. We never found out what drinks were included with happy hour. There's nothing on the menu, website or social media about what's included. Just wish they were more transparent.

Banff Social is a recently renovated spot on Bear Street that aims to capture the essence of Banff's local culture and community. The staff are engaging and create a welcoming atmosphere, while the food receives high praise, particularly the lamb kabob. The restaurant features a unique menu with fresh ingredients and flavorful dishes not found elsewhere in Banff. It offers a quieter setting with a great patio and friendly staff, making it an accommodating choice for both vegetarians and meat lovers alike.
After a long drive from Kamloops, I was really looking forward to a good meal. I visited Social for dinner and had a fantastic experience! Although I'd seen other reviews mention cold food, my burger came out hot and was delicious. The side of tomato soup was also really good. My only small critique is that the burger could have used just a little more sauce. The Strawberry Smash cocktail was a real highlight. It was so refreshing and perfectly balanced; I could have easily had a few more! The service was perfectly fine; my server was friendly. I'll definitely be back for sure one day when I'm in town.

We went here after we went to the visitor center, and the lady behind the desk recommended this place for dinner. We were at the in-between time so we basically had the whole place to ourselves. We sat inside, but they had a nice balcony that you could sit out on on the second floor. Service was amazing. He even talked to us for a while since we were one of the only tables there at the time.

Banff Social has a great atmosphere with lots of energy, perfect for a night out in Banff. The food overall was enjoyable, and the cocktails were excellent.

It's my first time in Banff and I'm severely celiac - gluten allergy. Which makes finding a safe place to eat a bit tricky. But from the moment we walked in, all the staff was so welcoming and so sure they could accommodate me. In total, we interacted with 4 of the staff members. I was nervous, as I always am, as not everyone in past restaurants have really understood the challenge. But this team was exceptional, especially our server Pattie!!!! Matt and the management team are very lucky to have her on staff!!!! Pattie explained that even though less gluten free options were listed on the menu, they could modify many of the dishes to be safe. And she explained exactly how they would modify each dish when I wanted additional assurance they understood. I had the pasta dish (modified) to start, and then I had a gluten free & vegan chocolate mousse for dessert. Both were delicious!!!! And I did not get sick so that means they did a great job keeping me safe. I went with 4 friends who don't have allergies, and they all loved their meals. Pattie was so attentive, proactive offering things before we asked, regularly checked in to see if we needed anything else, didn't rush us at all when we took a bit of extra visiting while eating our desserts. At every opportunity, you could tell she was looking for ways to make our experience as special as possible. What a great place to celebrate my birthday. And the atmosphere & ambience itself of the restaurant itself was beautiful. We felt like VIPs from beginning to end! Thank you so much Pattie & team!!!

Thursday afternoon my friends and I were exploring Canmore and then we decided to pop into the Brewery!! We were greeted by Reid at the bar and another server with a smile and they were very friendly and welcoming.

Canmore Brewing is more than a brewery—it’s a local experience. I stumbled upon it during their Friday night grand finale concert and found a vibrant mix of locals and travelers. The band, The Brews, was a blast to discover, and I even got a backstage peek. Turns out the drummer is the brewmaster! Friendly crowd, good music, and a cozy, safe walk from downtown hotels. I’m not big on beer, but the vibe here is unforgettable. If you're hungry, there’s a food truck on-site—worth checking if it's a regular. Come for the community spirit, stay for the memories.

We had a fantastic experience hosting welcome drinks for our wedding weekend at Canmore Brewing the evening before our wedding. The semi-private space was perfect for our large group (approx. 60 people), and we were able to bring in our own food. Communication leading up to the event and on the day was excellent — the team made sure drinks were tracked properly and guests knew where to go. The bar staff were efficient, friendly, and attentive, which helped everything run smoothly. All of our guests had a great time, and the venue was a fun and relaxed start to our wedding weekend. We would highly recommend Canmore Brewing for any group event or celebration — the combination of great space, friendly staff, and smooth coordination made it a wonderful experience.

The most flavourful and filling salad on earth. Comes with a drizzle of honey over the quinoa. So flavourful I couldn't stop eating it. Glory bowls are the best thing to happen to dining. Move over boring salads.

Great to sit and have lunch here with the mountains surrounding you. They also serve alcoholic beverages. Which was quite tasty. There was indoor and outdoor seating with umbrellas and heater for the winter time.

Staff were awesome and they make a delicious pulled pork! I'll have to try the Cubano next time. The chips were a little overseasoned though, but still pretty tasty.

Chicken restaurant
Alberta Wing Shack in Canmore is a popular spot for takeout, especially on big game days like Super Bowl Sunday. With locations in Banff, Cochrane, and Canmore, it's a go-to place for satisfying cravings for chicken wings and other comfort foods without supporting big chains. Visitors have praised the quick and delectable food, generous portions, and excellent customer service. The wings are particularly lauded for their crispy texture and flavorful sauces.
Tried Alberta Wing Shack for the first time and we loved it! We ordered the chicken quesadilla and the family chicken meal—both were amazing. The chicken was freshly cooked, juicy, (could add a little more flavor), and the quesadilla was seriously delicious crispy, cheesy, and so satisfying! The staff were super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Great food and great service, we’ll definitely be coming back!

One of the best wing spots I have ever been to. Simply delicious, reasonably priced and the variety of wings that are here is unreal. I ended up going for the naked wings, since I'm on a low carb diet, and they have so many options. The parmesan cheese based wings are my favorite, because they are so flavorful. Every night me and my Friends would go to the wing shack and get take outs. The customer service here is wonderful as well since the owner was very helpful in advising us about the best wing flavors to select from and also the various combo options. You can tell this place is popping as there is usually a line up to place orders if you are going after hours.

The wing sauce I had was excellent, it's a reasonable price for the combo. Food came very quickly, pop was cold, wings and fries were hot. Staff was friendly, what more could you want?

We loved Alberta Wing Shack so much we went three times during our trip! The wings were consistently crispy, well-breaded, and super flavorful. We tried Mt. Rundle, Ottawa Senators, Toronto Maple Leafs, Honey Dill Pickle, and Honey Garlic—each one was delicious in its own way. The portions are generous, the prices are affordable, and the staff is very nice and welcoming. It quickly became one of our favorite spots in Canmore. Definitely a must-try if you’re a wing lover!
Christiana T — Google review
My favorite are the Honey Garlic wings. They are always quick, delicious, and reasonably priced. The Jafra Fries are also worth a try. If you've been to Kenmore, this is the best place for lunch or dinner.
Anna C — Google review
Solid wing spot. The wings are crispy and fried fresh. There's a ton of flavour options to choose from; some better than others. We tried the Banff and Lake Louise because they were local specialties and they were both good, but not stand outs. (You couldn't really taste the pineapple puree in the butter chicken sauce.) Staff are friendly and courteous, so definitely worth a stop if you're craving wings.
Vanessa I — Google review
Terrible experience, the food took around 20 minutes to come out, and when it finally came out, my wings (sweet and sour) were floating on the sauce, and the sauce was just too overpowering. The crisp on the wings was thick and soggy. Price per pound is not impressing either since the wings were not good. I personally wont come back here for wings period
Lukas C — Google review
Always stop in here when we’re in the area for our yearly trip, we tried honey garlic and garlic parm last year and sweet chilli and dill parm this year, the honey based sauces just can’t eat the cream ones! Would definitely recommend!

Stumbled upon this place on our way home from Christmas break! Amazing food, staff was awesome and drinks were impeccable. They so graciously hosted the 4 of us including 2 kids and were awesome!

We were drawn in by the inviting patio. It’s an ideal spot to unwind after a hike! The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, making it perfect for a sunny afternoon. The menu offered some unique choices with generous portion sizes. We tried the dry ribs, tuna wonton stack, and chicken fingers—all of which were delicious, with the dry ribs being the standout. I especially appreciated the generous garnish of green onions on each dish. While the service wasn’t particularly memorable, the combination of a great patio and tasty food makes this place well worth a return visit!

This restaurant has a fairly small menu. We ordered two pizzas, two salads and one rice bowl, all were tasty. If I have to complain, I would say the portion was a little small except for the pizza. We went on a Wednesday during off season. We were the only table most of the time and the place was just quiet with no vibe to speak off.
Clement C — Google review
Immediately this pizza offering joins the top tier of pizzas I have had in Canmore (Stoney’s, Crazy Weed). The best sauce and cheese combo in the town in terms of taste and ratio. Tied for the highest quality meats of any pizza place in town (Crazy Weed). Amazing charred puffy crust. My only nit pick, and it is minor and not enough for me to drop a star off, is that the thin crust is a touch too thin and thus flimsy. It is a two hand to a slice type of pizza, rather than a single handed grab and go. Otherwise, I cannot say enough great things about this pizza. Simply excellent. Half price for happy hour as well so only $12 for this 12 inch za. Top notch for sure.
Isaac F — Google review
We came to try the pizza was we saw raving reviews. However we were disappointed as the crust was very burnt (nearly black) and wasn’t very flavourful. We ended up having to leave most of the crust uneaten. The margherita pizza wasn’t very flavourful. Although we liked the cheese on it, the pizza itself was a bit dry as the sauce was lacking and we wish there was more basil. The pineapple pizza was slightly better as there were more toppings. The service though was great and we were taken care of throughout our meal. Overall, we were glad to give it a try but were disappointed.
Forest B — Google review
The cocktails here are GREAT. I got the tiki colada, which I highly recommend to anyone who likes colada style drinks - it was a decent size, too. The food was delicious, I got the pepperoni pizza, which was still good after being refrigerated for 2 days after the outing. The service was good, however it took more time than I would’ve liked the receive the food. Overall, I think faster service would benefit the restaurant for sure. Delicious - would come again!

Went there a couple time during my Stay in Canmore, the plave is in a basement but still its quite cozy. They have great 50% special on pizza and tacos (Wed and Tues) from 12 to 5:30 plus another 50% off beers during the week from 2 to 5:30. You can basically eat and have a beer for 15$, wich is kinda awesome in 2025😂. I had the mushroom pixzaand the beef tacos, both were good. If you are looking for devent food at decent price for lunch, don't look further.

Really neat little downstairs dining and bar. Server was super friendly, music reasonable levels, food was really good. Was also served fast and fresh which was appreciated. We had the tuna poke bowl and the braised short ribs bowl. Highly recommend -also their menu on the website actually has pictures of each dish which is awesome.

Fried chicken takeaway
When it comes to enjoying BBQ Chicken, the experience is as delightful as the dish itself. Picture this: after a long day, you gather with friends around a cozy outdoor fire pit, sharing stories and laughter while savoring delicious chicken. The ambiance is enhanced by the occasional sound of a train passing by, adding to the charm of your evening. While some diners have had mixed experiences regarding portion sizes—like receiving fewer pieces than expected—the overall quality often shines through.
We ordered takeaway from BBQ Chicken Canmore, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. We chose the Grilled Chicken with Rice, and it was absolutely outstanding — flavorful, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The seasoning was spot-on, and every bite was packed with delicious, smoky taste. The portion size was generous and easily enough for two people, making it well worth the price. The staff were friendly and helpful, and our order was ready in just 20 minutes — fast and efficient service without compromising on quality. It’s always nice when takeout feels as good as dining in. If you’re in Canmore and craving something hearty, tasty, and well-prepared, I highly recommend giving BBQ Chicken Canmore a try. Great value, great flavor, and an all-around satisfying meal!

We have a new favorite in Canmore! Our family started with the yummy warm corn cheese, and followed with their delicious and tender Beef Bulgogi served on a steamy sushi rice. Another tried Fried Chicken on rice. We also had their boneless chicken Galbi Q. We wanted to try the Cheesy Buldak however the lady server recommended the milder Cheesy Galbi instead, as we might find Cheese Buldak as too tad spicy and hot to our taste. We forgot to order the kimchi, nonetheless, we enjoyed the sweet tangy Galbi Q and creamy Cheesy Galbi was equally delish. Definitely, we are going to try more BBq chicken options in the menu that comes in either a single or double portions, the next time we are in this quaint lovely town in Kananaski County.
Ann G — Google review
Excellent restaurant in Canmore that delivers on the quality, even being in a tourist spot. We ordered the bone-in chicken and it took some time to make but it tasted delicious. Nice part was that we had no wait and they were quick to serve us. We had the classic soy garlic sauce and one regular portion was more than enough for the two of us with a side of rice. Would recommend.
Brandon L — Google review
I already loved Korean fried chicken, but I really enjoyed this spot. The portions were generous, prices were reasonable, there were a lot of flavour options, and everything tasted so good. Secret Sauce and Galbi were both delicious but I'll for sure be back to try more flavours my next time passing through Canmore.

OMG it’s been a few weeks and I’m still thinking about the chicken! 🤤 this is a new favourite of mine in Canmore. Food: I tried a single order of boneless honey garlic and it was one of the best chicken I’ve ever had. Perfectly juicy and tender on the inside, crisp on the outside, and didn’t skimp on flavourful sauce. Service: server was super friendly, sweet, attentive, and patient. I couldn’t decide between two flavours, and she offered to bring out samples of the sauce to help me choose. Food came out fresh and in a timely manner. Atmosphere: variety of tables in an unassuming place to fit a variety of group size. Value: amazing value for quality and quantity, especially in Canmore. This is a few favourite of mine, and I look forward to trying out their other selections! Great hidden gem!

The Fat Ox in Banff is a stunning and chic restaurant with a fantastic ambiance. The interior boasts beautiful lighting, stylish furniture, and just the right volume of music. The service is top-notch, with servers like Jayce and Pete providing excellent recommendations and engaging in playful banter. The owner, Vern, clearly pours his heart and soul into the establishment.
We (table of 4) ordered 3 Sunday Supper, a slow braised pork & scallops and a shrimp fezzoletti and they were INCREDIBLE! The garlic bread was the BEST I have ever tasted: It has the perfect texture with the precise amount of garlic butter (& real garlic on top as well). Their squash was also really good despite not being the star of the dish! The pumpkin seeds in the slow braised pork added a layer of texture to the dish which I liked. The short rib and the sausage were amazing in the gravy with just the right amount of spice! 10/10

It was lovely here! We had dinner after a hard hike, and it was before supper rush so it wasn't too busy. The service was wonderful and the food amazing! We got Elk Meatballs for starter, Wild Boar Chop and Artic Char for main, and since it was my birthday, one dessert was on the house! My husband had an affogato and I had the white chocolate espresso pudding? (Can't remember the real name). Would come again!

We ordered from their happy hour menu. The portions were a bit small, but the prices were reasonable. The shrimp scampi was delicious, and the elk meatballs were beyond my expectations! I honestly thought I wouldn’t like them, but they turned out so good, definitely a 10/10 for both. After happy hour, we also tried the black linguine vongole pasta, which was really tasty, especially if you love clams and lamb. My husband had the Wild Boar Chop. It tasted a bit plain at first, but once we added the honey berry sauce, it was so much better. We'd rate both dishes a 9/10. I also tried their Berry Lemonade Spirit Free drink. It's super refreshing and honestly one of the best non-alcoholic drinks I’ve ever had. Also, the staff were very welcoming and friendly, which made our Banff dining experience even better. Highly recommended.

We popped in for dinner yesterday, a group of four. Can I just say how fabulous this place is. From the welcoming atmosphere to fantastic service and a delightful menu, there is very few things I can say I disliked. My daughter and I had ordered the special, a 3 course meal, and some cocktails. We started with a pear salad, then a pumpkin ravioli and ended with vanilla crème brûlée. I do believe that the starter and the main could have used a bit more tang - the salad dressing of olive oil and vinaigrette ratio was a wee bit off and the sauce of the ravioli would have done well with a splash of balsamic. Their crème brûlée on the other hand, why I don’t know if I’ve ever had one so delightful. The topping of cranberry compote and roasted hazelnuts sold us on the first bite. My daughter can’t stop talking about it! Over all the experience was lovely. Next time I find myself in Banff this’ll be on the list of places to go!

Our first meal in Banff was at The Fat Ox, and it was a great start to our vacation -- the Sunday ravioli special with fried sage and pumpkin seeds and butternut squash was luscious, comforting, and tasty, and my mom loved her lamb fazzoletti. But it was the shrimp scampi that really floored us. It was so delicious, my mom wouldn't shut up about it. The sauce was spicy and garlicky, and the slab of fried focaccia underneath absorbed it all so it was oozy but still crisp -- I just wish they gave us more focaccia to "fare la scarpetta" with it. We came back for happy hour before we left Banff just so we could eat it one last time -- a yummy start and end to our trip~

We stopped by Fat Ox while visiting Banff and decided to try the Carbonara and Bison Tagliatelle. Service was solid—friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The Carbonara didn’t quite land for us. The eggs came out more like scrambled eggs than a smooth sauce, which made it feel overcooked and a bit off from what we expected. The Bison Tagliatelle, though, was a win—great texture, rich flavor, and nicely balanced. Overall, it’s a stylish spot with good service. Just wish the Carbonara had been executed with a bit more finesse.

Absolutely delicious Italian dishes enjoyed by my husband and I who were looking to take a break from our campground meals while vacationing near Banff. Liam was our server who was not only personable and a delight to talk to but took good care in his service. Liam, you're a gem! The dishes we ordered were perfection and not oversalted like most restaurants tend to do. The portion size was just right as well. The atmosphere was loud for me, with dance music and loud people, but I just like things more low key, and everyone was just having a great time, I wouldn't discourage anyone from going because the food and service was well worth it. When on vacation, too many times we've been disappointed with a bad meal but not The Fat Ox! Delicious!!

Lovely bar with table service, nice food and of course Canadian Rye. Server Reki was excellent whizzing around keeping multiple tables happy. Had the pizza which was pretty good. Overall a great hideaway from the crowd and bistro below at not much extra price.

HAVE to give this place a full five stars just for the building and atmosphere. Cute gift shop for train buffs (spent quite a lot on books) and a delightful lunch. Simple and not fancy but still yummy. Exactly what we were looking for. The hubs is a train buff so he loved the idea of being in a train station/museum/lounge. Two trains went by so close which really added to the vibe. It wasn’t just lunch for us but also an event 😌 🚂

Place was super chill while there on a bluebird day. Had the pulled pork poutine, which was huge! ...but had a few too many jalapenos which I thought over powered the dish a bit and with the black pepper, the poutine was a bit spicier than I had anticipated. Drinks well priced. Great vibe!

Bier Stube, located at the base of the resort, is the perfect spot to grab a cold and fresh beer on tap. It's an ideal place for a quick drink after a day on the slopes. In addition to their perfectly chilled beers, they also offer delicious snacks to keep you satisfied. This spot is highly recommended for those looking for a convenient and enjoyable apres-ski experience.
