50 Best American Restaurants in Edmonton

“My mom and I went for supper on Thursday after spending the entire day at the hospital with a family member. Our waitress was absolutely exceptional. We returned again on Friday and were lucky to have the same waitress—once again, she went above and beyond. She generously comped our mocktails and even gave us a $20 gift card in case we needed to come back again. During such a stressful and emotional time, her kindness and compassion meant more than she’ll ever know. Being rushed to the city for a hospitalized family member is overwhelming, and this level of thoughtfulness was truly unexpected and deeply appreciated.“

“Wonderful service ! The absolute best !“

“We visited this location today. Everything was good. Meal was hot and delivered in a timely manner. It was our first time here since the renovations. The improvements are inviting. Kulwinder was our server. She was very pleasant and prepared to accommodate any needs we may have had. Happy all around. Thank you!“

“Accommodating for people with allergies. Clean restaurant and friendly service“

“We went to the restaurant because were heard the Indian food was excellent. Our group sampled seven dishes and unanimously agreed that it was fantastic. The layers of flavours with the different spice combinations were incredible. The in-house made naan is out of this world. Harprit was a wonderful host, taking the time to explain to us what we were eating and it’s origin. Not something he likely does with everyone but was interesting to learn. Our server was also great. I’m a foodie, and a decent cook, and must say was very impressed with tonight’s dinner. Thanks again Harp!“

“Came in for beer and hot wings with my brother and his girlfriend! It was incredible. Great food, drinks and atmosphere. Amazing playlist was going as well.“

“They kindly brought our nephew a bowl of ice cream cause it was his birthday. Support Local Businesses!“

“Convenient location coming into the city“

“There was a QR sticker on our table that was half peeled off, and full of dirt. I politely pointed it out to the person who brought our food but all she said was that they'd replace ot later. Not very appetizing to be eating with that right in the middle of the table.“

“Nicest servers, lots of smiles, manager comes by every time, great food, easily my favourite location. Best steak and eggs breakfast every visit!“

“Took my husband and son for father's day supper, first time for them. My husband is a burger guy and he absolutely loved his burger. He has been to a lot of burger places here and in the US and rates this place top 5 of all the places he has been. I highly recommend Fox Burger you will not be disappointed with the food or service.“

“This restaurant is the highlight of my work week. Staff is family orientated, kind, and clean. I enjoy their food, conversations and I believe this is one of the staples of the community! Keep up the good work (Oh yeah, the food is amazing AND REASONABLY PRICED!)“

“Tony and Cory are beauties. We didn't get a bag for our merch at Rogers and we didn't know how we would carry it around all night. They found us a STANLEY CUP FINAL bag for our travels. These are the guys serving up awesome food at the back !!“

“Our dining experience at Aqua Bistro, located in the Courtyard by Marriott Edmonton West, was exceptional from start to finish.
Alam Mehbub provided outstanding service throughout our stay. Whether at breakfast, lunch, or dinner, he consistently went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of. His attentiveness, professionalism, and thoughtful recommendations truly enhanced our experience. Alam was friendly, welcoming, and always made sure we had everything we needed.
The food at Aqua Bistro was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. The breakfast was especially delicious, and the portion sizes were generous. We highly recommend Aqua Bistro to anyone staying at the hotel and looking for a top-quality dining experience. What impressed us most was the genuine care shown by the staff. Since we had an early morning flight back to Toronto, Alam and his supervisor, Himesh, made special arrangements so that our breakfast vouchers would not go to waste. They thoughtfully provided breakfast snack items for us ensuring we were taken care of before our departure. This level of customer service was truly above and beyond, and we are very grateful. We would also like to recognize Amelia at the front desk, who was wonderful and assisted me with my tea requests. In addition, Shafin Gowa provided exceptional service during our visit. He was friendly, professional, attentive, and made us feel welcome. Both Alam and Shafin delivered outstanding hospitality and made a lasting impression. The staff at the hotel and Aqua Bistro are kind, welcoming, and dedicated to providing excellent guest experiences. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and dining experiences and will return to the Courtyard by Marriott Edmonton West and Aqua Bistro in the future. Thank you to Alam, Himesh, Shafin, Amelia, and the entire team for making our visit so memorable. All of you are great asset to Aqua Bistro and to Courtyard by Marriott Edmonton West.“

“Great food and even better service!“

“I love the Canyon Grill and all the staff. I found out it will be changing to a Smitty’s which upsets me deeply. I will not be coming back if it actually changes. I would recommend the new owner strongly considers keeping the Canyon Grill.“

“We ordered a pizza with a topping we could not have and they remade us one with no charge and delivered! Excellent customer service and the pizza was amazing!!! Thank you!!!“

“Place was very busy, but our service was excellent. My wings were good and well dressed with sauce. The business is deceptively large inside, and features VLTs, Mutliple Pool Tables, and other games. The crowd was a mix of ages. There was a weird buzz coming from what I think was one of the speakers? Will return again.“

“Their food is never a let down! It’s always rich with flavour and good wholesome food! You will walk away feeling full and good what you put inside your body! I would recommend to everyone I know!“

“Had a fantastic experience at Steels Cafe and Grill during the BX West Christmas party. This venue was an excellent choice for an afternoon business networking event, and it delivered on every level. The space is open, comfortable, and well laid out, with plenty of extra room. We were able to host our networking group off to the side, be energetic and conversational, and still not interfere with the regular flow of customers. At the same time, the restaurant maintained strong traffic, which speaks volumes about how well the space functions.

The food was outstanding. I had the Royal Burger, and it was easily one of the best burgers I’ve had in the west end. Fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Looking around the room, it was clear the rest of the menu was hitting just as well with everyone at the table.

Location-wise, Steels is a great west-end spot with easy access and a welcoming atmosphere that works perfectly for business meetings, networking events, and group gatherings. The staff handled the crowd effortlessly and made it easy for our event to run smoothly.

If you’re looking for a place in Edmonton to host a networking event while enjoying excellent food and a spacious, functional venue, Steels Cafe and Grill is a strong recommendation. I would absolutely host another business event here.“

“Great service, fast and friendly, food was perfect.“

“💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 Awesome place, friendly staff, delicious food, safe, great owners Sumeet Kaur & Tripatpal Singh“

“Love the French Onion soup“

“I come for their Bulldog and the outdoor patio to soak in the sun while having a refreshing cocktail. For a healthier option, dragon boat lettuce wraps is excellent . Great service by Jasmine, friendly..polite and efficient. It’s our happy hour venue for the summer and will be back again.“

“Good eats, we love coming here for a good brunch.“

“Fantastic Experience at Harvey’s! I recently had the pleasure of dining at Harvey’s, and I must say, the food was absolutely delicious! The Value Pack Junior Cheeseburger was a standout—fresh, flavorful, and a great deal. Beyond the food, the customer service was exceptional. A staff member named Sid truly made my visit memorable. He recommended the place to me, and I’m so glad he did! His kindness and professionalism added to the great atmosphere, making the experience even better. I highly recommend eating here if you’re looking for tasty food and outstanding service. Thank you, Harvey’s team, for such a wonderful experience—I’ll definitely be back!“

“Magically, we were from out of town and found exactly what we were looking for. We came in near the end of the night for a bite and a drink, our bartender Ben never once made us feel like we were keeping him, made sure that we had time to order food and kept us company until last call. I will be sure to visit the Underground every time I visit Edmonton from here on out.“

“Update. We ordered Swiss Chalet this time. Take out. Food was ready by the time we got there. It was busy but they helped as quickly as possible.

It's what you expect at Harveys. That's why it is a 5 star because it met all expectations of a Harveys. Expect they actually met have exceeded expectations as I put in a mobile order that only allowed me to say take out. But I wanted to dine-in. And the guy prepping the meal, asked me to have a seat and he'd bring the full order to the table.

Also appreciated the deals on the app.“

“All thanks to Mr Ralph Carico for the wonderful trading and profit increased, he help me made a lot of profit on binary and crypto investment with his perfect and expert strategies, Don't miss out to contact him Ralph Carico“

“I had the chance to attend a karaoke fundraiser last night at The Duck Taphouse & Grill and, it’s one of those places you just want to see win.I got to chat with the owner, Alex, and you can tell right away he’s all about community. From supporting organizations like Hope Mission to opening his space for fundraising events, he’s creating more than just a pub, he’s building a place people can come together. Tucked right behind NAIT, this spot has a relaxed, welcoming vibe with a small stage that’s perfect for karaoke nights, fundraisers, or even networking events. And let’s talk about the experience: The drinks are reasonably priced, the food is genuinely good, and the atmosphere makes it easy to stay longer than planned.If you’re looking for a venue for a third-party fundraiser, a casual networking night, or just a great local place to support, this is it. Let’s keep showing up for the businesses that show up for our community.“

“This is my go to for great people and great karaoke on the weekends. Service is awesome just like the food.“

“Hello! My friend and I stopped by your location on the evening of June 13th and I just want to say thank you to the security guy that was working that night, he made us feel SOOOO comfortable and safe. When a drunk guy decided to join our table he kindly escorted him out after warning him of social distancing. He also cleaned off our table and asked us if we needed anything. The bartender and staff were also very accommodating and kind we will def be back! Thanks again guys :D“

“My hubby took me there tonight for my birthday. Had great service. Thank you Skylar!! Pizza was great!! We’ll definitely be back.. Barb & Pat“

“stopped in for lunch yesterday. never been before. I had the tropical burger. and that had to have been one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. so good. I didn't care too much for the fries. but I'll be back for another burger when I can.“

“The food here is always great no matter what you order. Affordable and great service. They’re happy to do custom orders!“

“I had such a great experience Thursday noon! I really appreciated how attentive & thoughtful the bartender was. Even while busy behind the bar, he made a point of checking in on me and always with the brightest smile. It’s those little gestures that make a big difference and make you feel genuinely welcomed. His positive energy and excellent customer service truly stood out. Thank you for making my experience so enjoyable!“

“Delicious food and friendly staff😍🤩“

“Excellent service, skilled bartender. Will be back.“

“The food is really good, the caesar I had was top notch, the server was amazing, and it's nice and quiet when events aren't happening“

“This Harvey’s location has become one of my go‑to spots, and it’s entirely because of the people who work here. The employees and managers are exceptional — they take real pride in what they do, and it shows every single visit. They’re consistently friendly, welcoming, and genuinely engaging with customers. What really stands out is how they make a point to remember the orders of their regulars. It’s a small detail, but it says a lot about how much they care about providing great service.

The food quality here is always reliable. Everything comes out hot, fresh, and made exactly the way you ask. Even during busy times, the team moves quickly without cutting corners, and the consistency is honestly impressive. You know what you’re getting every time, and that’s rare.

On top of that, I have a finicky stomach and a few food allergies, so finding a place I can trust for a quick meal during busy days is a huge deal. Having this Harvey’s so close to our shop has been a lifesaver. I can grab something fast without worrying about feeling bloated or sick afterward, and that peace of mind alone is worth a five‑star rating.

Overall, this location delivers great food, fast service, and exceptional customer care. It’s easily one of the best‑run Harvey’s locations I’ve ever visited, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable, friendly spot for a fresh meal.“

“good place, too many servers standing around, 🤔🤔“

“today our service was over Andy above!!!!!!!! fantastic. I think his name was Like? tall young man. it was wow factor. thank you!!! best ceaser I've ever had there;). he is a keeper)))“

“Amazing food. Great Portions We were told to try them out by another restaurant in Calgary. By far the best in town. Packed with flavour. They even gave us dessert for free to try.“

“We picked up the family turkey dinner and the restaurant was beyond busy. Everyone had the same idea. It was excellent value and the staff worked so hard to get orders sorted. We had to wait a bit but we knew the staff were trying their hardest to get the food out. Kudos to their effort and the food was delicious and I didn’t have to cook!“
