50 Best Burger Restaurants in Calgary

“this is an amazing place to eat good food with such loving service it's gotta be the best fish I've had for a long time others and Joey's needs to learn from them .. it's so good that I can eat it every day without feeling tired“

“Incredible little hamburger joint. Re-imagined classics served in a cozy 70's era restaurant; think paneled wood walls, kitschy decorations, and lots of orange.
I like to order the Donald McRonald and the coney fries. They also have a really interesting drink menu and 2 flavors of ice cream.
Do it.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not really. It's quite narrow.“

“Delicious home made burgers, complemented perfectly by their Flipp’N sauce. Huge portions, and fantastic customer service!“

“I went there for a burger, the service was good and friendly. It is a busy place attracting alot of people everyday. The food was fresh and made within 5 minutes. The restaraunt is always clean the tables are and the bathroom as well. I keep going back there to eat.“

“Best burgers and shakes in the city, a must eat!“

“Absolutely delicious burger. The meat, the cheese, the toppings, the sauce. All excellent. I am not the biggest fan of the fries but they weren't bad. It's a shame I am only in town for a week because I could come here over and over. Fair prices and very fast service“

“Iwas in the neighborhood and stopped in at Pathway Momo in the SW (8855 Macleod Trail). I've never had momo or Nepalese food before, and Iwas blown away! I was on my own so I only got to try one kind, but l'm absolutely brining my family here to try a variety of dishes. The space was modest, but clean. The staff were friendly, and the plain pork momos were incredible! I can't wait to try the rest of the menu!“

“Best customer service, hands down.

Great place to sit in...plenty of free parking around...worth the drive!

Tasty smash burgers...yummy fries...we enjoy this place. 4oz burger, 8oz burger, burger with an egg...you choose!“

“I loved the crunchy texture of the fries & Korean Sweet & Spicy Chicken burger. The spicy flavor was just right with the sweet sauce. I loved the vintage atmosphere of the restaurant.“

“Went to Boardwalk Burgers in Winnipeg and was very impressed. Great burgers made fresh hamburger and the patty filled the bun . Great staff Great food“

“I had the opportunity to grab a bite to eat there while dropping my wife off at physio. I felt badly that I didn’t read the sign and plugged up their drive-through lane for a few minutes. Parked and ambled over for a burger as a way of apology. The burger was good and the krinkle cut fries were exceptional (crisp, not too greasy). The service was fast. A very nostalgic old drive-in feel with food to match. Finally. The prices are very, very reasonable! I definitely plan on a return visit next week! Maybe, I can work my way through their menu?“

“Always good food….I stop in whenever I’m in Calgary“

“first off, the staff was amazing and the customer service was top notch! I got the ginger beef and salted caramel milkshake which was amazing and my buddy got the burger and waffle fries with an oreo shake and it was phenomenal! i highly recommend stoping here and giving it a try, you will not be disappointed“

“Got the stampeder burger which was delicious and quite huge. Portion for fries was quite good, although a little bland. Mac and cheese wedges were good, but i probably wouldn't get again.
I enjoyed the atmosphere and the colors. Good shakes too“

I tried smash beef burger and it was absolutely delicious – juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The service was just as good as the food. The whole vibe of the place was great, and everything felt so well done. Definitely one of the best burger spots around – I’ll be coming back for sure! 🍔✨“

“Popped in after I just filled up with gas. Pleasantly suprised. Staff were friendly and happy to help, restaurant was super clean.

Food was excellent, i was expecting some kinda pre made patty thing, but these were excellent. The price was also lower than on par burger joints.

The only thing negative I can say, is that I have never tried this place before. I am using this place now over my usual 5 guys restaurant.“

“I love Leopold's Tavern! Great atmoshphere and the food is great!!!“

“Went on a Sunday evening after a day of hard work. We were hungry and enjoyed our food a great deal. My partner said the fish and chips were a large portion, good flavour and not greasy, as some deep fried fish can be on occasion. The Prime Rib Sandwich was so delicious! I love to eat au jus beef sandwiches and this was one of the best. Soft bun, thin tasty meat with a yummy char, complimentary toppings, and a flavourful au jus. Just scrumptious! I also had the mac and cheese as a side that was Asiago forward and tasty. The Louis Guntrum Riesling complimented my dish very well without overpowering the flavours.

For dessert we ate half of the decadent Raspberry Chocolate Ganache, and took the rest home. I am a chocolate snob and this was made from a hunk of quality chocolate. Mmmm!

Our server was kind and enthusiastic, ready with food suggestions. Thank you Cici!

The only suggestion I have is turn up the lights a little bit as it was hard to read the menu with the lights were turned down too low. I’m middle aged and need some reading help. 😁“

“It's not just the great food and large portions, it's the staff! The servers are very friendly and accommodating. Came into Calgary for a weekend event and came upon Nick's dinner. Enjoyed the food and service so much we came back the next two evenings in a row and brought about 25 teams members on the third night.“

“Went in for all day breakfast at 5pm but wasn’t available. Website said all day BF.
The waitress was cordial and the food was amazing.

“Smashburger in Calgary offers a decent burger experience, though it comes with a few drawbacks. The food itself is solid—flavorful burgers with good toppings, though not necessarily a standout compared to other premium fast-food options.

Service is on the slower side, which can be a bit frustrating, especially during peak hours. However, the staff is generally polite and professional. On the plus side, the restaurant is kept clean, which adds to the overall experience.

The biggest downside is the price. It sits a bit above the typical fast-food range, and while the quality is better than basic fast food, it may not always feel like the best value for the cost.

Overall, if you’re in the mood for a decent burger and don’t mind waiting a bit, Smashburger is worth a try. But if you’re looking for quick service or a budget-friendly meal, you might find better options elsewhere.“
