Just had an incredible experience at Buchanan's Chop House in Calgary for my husband's work Christmas party! 🌟 Katie provided top-notch service, and the food was beyond amazing. The sticky toffee pudding was a delightful highlight. Highly recommend for any celebration! #BuchanansChopHouse #FiveStarExperience

Amazing food and amazing service! If you ever come to this place ask to be seated in Kennedys section!

I literally can’t say enough good things! Every single staff member went out of their way to accommodate the baby I’m traveling with and I. From simplifying their menu to giving me other Calgary recommendations, they truly just were the best of the best. The food was amazing on top of all of that! I can’t thank you all enough.
