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!“

“Had the hot n' homey chicken burger and it was delicious, also got the stern fries but wasn't a big fan of the secret sauce, too mustardy for my taste, I'd recommend to get the sauce on the side if you're trying for the first time and are unsure“

“Wow the best EVER! I had the Frankie burger and chicken fingers and poutine ! We loved it“

“I had my first experience at the A&W on 16 Avenue, and it was fantastic! The restaurant and washroom were clean, which is always a plus. The food was fresh and delicious, and the staff were welcoming, friendly, and responsive. I left with a smile and can’t wait to come back!

Parking: there's free parking and the location is accessible“

“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!“

“the signature burgers are so good,the hawaian is my favorite“

“We stopped on our way to the Calgary airport at a burger place with a good review. Saucy Burger did not disappoint. I tried the Holiday Feast Burger which was made with turkey topped with stuffing and cranberry sauce. I was a bit hesitant at first to try something different. This burger was way better than expected, juicy and delicious!! It is a must try!! Thanks Saucy Burger for making our last meal in Calgary a memorable one!!“

“Best Breakfast place in all of Calgary! Cool chic 50s diner“

“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.“

“This is very close to the Church that I go to and it is usually the spot where I go to breakfast or lunch. Most order drive-thru, so there is always a seat available if you want to dine in. You will not have to wait long for your order but do expect a wait if you ever come in a big group. Food always fresh and I just love getting Root Beer in a frozen/chilled mug. There is a dish-out counter at the back where the condiments are and that has a sink to wash your hands before or after.“

“delicious milkshakes. fantastic customer service.“

“Great food and quick service“

“One of the best restaurant in area..best food best service and very pleasant ambient“

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.“

“Love the 🍟 fries... tasty and crispy.“

“Lovely neighbourhood spot for delicious comfort food in a casual setting. We have been coming here for a few years, and we always leave with happy bellies and big smiles.

The food is great, but it’s sometimes inconsistent depending on the day and time. Recently, we dined in on their Monday pizza night, and the place was jam-packed and bumpin’. The pizzas were fresh and delicious - and half off as a bonus…excellent value. The burger, fries, and prawn tacos were pretty good as well, although they have been better when ordered in the afternoon.

Our server was super friendly and kind, although more staff would probably help with their availability and attentiveness. If you plan on dining in on their weekly special evenings, give yourself lots of time to sit and relax.

The owners are very generous and give back to the community through donations, which we greatly appreciate.

Overall, we love 4th Spot, and we look forward to coming back!“

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

“Excellent gluten free options (Celiac friendly)!
Went with celiac and the majority of their menu was gluten free or could be made gluten free, including the hollandaise sauce.
We ordered the Tostadas (picture) and Mexicali Hash Bowl (both GF, no subs needed) and they were delicious!! Food portions were hearty and definitely had a good mix of comfort food and well thought out flavours! The chai lattes were tasty.“

“Wait staff as always was great ! As for the donair well was ok nothing special . I look forward to trying something els next time as I work my way through the menu ..I will be back !“

“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.“

“Great food. Had the original V Burger with Caulifritters and it was hands down the best burger I've ever had. I was very impressed about how delicious everything was. Now part of my favorite places. Definitely recommend 😁“

“We stopped in because I needed a quick bite to eat. We were pleasantly surprised by the staff, prices and quality of the food. I think I always want to eat my wings with gloves now. We will definitely be back! (Maybe, please turn off the music on the claw machine though as it is a bit repetitive)“

“This delicious restaurant has the best flavored, tastiest burgers!!! And definitely enjoyed my gluten-free dinner. It was quiet so the wonderful staff served us at our tables,.party of 8..thank you for making my birthday dinner an excellent pick!!!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free“

“I am not vegan, but my sister is, so as a family we wanted to try out the food together. All I can say is, amazing service and amazing food. The owner is very thoughtful about ensuring that the customers needs are met. There was a mishap with our uber eats order but the owner corrected it and threw some really delicious oatmeal chocolate chip cookies in (that were still warm and soft when they arrived!).They really care about their customers. On top of that, the food is absolutely delicious best vegan chicken I have had. The pura Vegan bowl and their peanut satay and cauliflower wings were delicious and so fresh. As a first time customer I definitely see myself coming here again and again.“
