I've had great coffee here before but never eaten. Today I ate....fabulous soup and a sandwich. The soup was delicious, cheddar and broccoli and the turkey sandwich was substantial...really good eatery and I'd definitely go again for food... only critical comment, is I truly do not appreciate being told that our table was reserved at 3pm, when we sat it was 12.30! If my custom is not appreciated in the moment then I guess I'm not important enough as a customer!!!

I recently visited Buchanan's for their Bacon Cheeseburger for lunch, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. I've been a regular here and always enjoyed their burgers, but today was different. Despite their claim of using fresh ground sirloin, the meat in my burger didn't seem ground at all. It appeared to be large chunks of ungrounded meat hastily packed together. This inconsistency left me feeling a bit grossed out, especially since I was expecting their usual deliciousness. The kitchen manager kindly offered to make me another burger, but after the unpleasant first bites, I felt too nauseous to try another. I settled for their fries, which were thankfully still good. However, I couldn't help but feel that they could have done more to make up for the disappointing burger, perhaps offering a dessert or a little discount on the bill. Instead, I received the full check without any acknowledgment of the subpar meal. While I understand that mistakes can happen, I can't help but wonder if others have experienced similar issues with their burgers. Consistency is key for any restaurant, and unfortunately, theor Bacon Cheeseburger fell short of their usual standards this time.

A Calgary institution with the best Scotch and general whisky collection in the city. The food is meat-fare, and pairs well with house beers and drams.The wine menu is the most well written comedy to ever come out of Alberta, and the staff is absolutely stellar. The weekly burger and steak deals are the best in the city.10/10 eat here as often as you possibly can.

It's the best Burger in Calgary, and you can't beat the happy hour price. I would recommend this place to anyone. It's a must-have burger made with top-quality ground sirloin fresh every day. The servers are great too.

We had a group of 20 in last night. They set us up an separate room and a team of their friendly and attentive staff catered to our every need. The scotch selection is second to none and the food was Michelin star quality. I was blown away. A triple wood, and Guinness, to start, followed by a delicious glass of Deerfield, paired with an incredible rack of lamb, my mouth is still watering. Beef ribs a foot long, mouthwatering steaks, monster sandwiches , you can't go wrong. I would recommend Buchanons for any occasion, you won't be disappointed. Great job you guys, we had a blast.

Staff were very pleasant. Very good customer service. The three course dinner meal I had was really good. The steak sandwich that my partner had didn't taste like anything special but other than that the food was good. Pretty standard steak sandwich I would say. Might be better for whisky and steak kind of people.
My friend and I hadn't been to Buchanan's in a long time. The food was as good as I remembered but it was very busy and so a little noisy for the quiet conversation we had wanted.

Great lunch! Had the Seafood rice bowl. It was delicious, excellent curry flavour. It was a little on the small side (especially the rice and curry portions) for the price point, which I thought was 5-10$ too high.

Yummy steak sandwich today! Really good service and
This was my first visit to Buchanan's, and it was an alright experience. The service, food and atmosphere were all average. I think that where they do their best to express diversity in a traditional Chophouse the flavor, presentation and ingredients just fall a bit flat.When you make the claim that you have the best burger in the city you raise expectations to a place that might do more harm than good.The people that work here were all friendly though our server nearly made someone at our table wear their soup through a lack of awareness while they were holding the saucer tilted, but they were very polite and great at explaining the special.As far as the atmosphere goes this place has some appeal in the history hung over the walls but it's nothing you haven't seen before.Overall, I wouldn't complain about going again but it wouldn't be my first choice.
