“I don’t usually leave restaurant reviews, but our server, Amy, really stood out to us and I wanted to give her a shout out! She was super friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Great service can make such a difference, and Amy definitely made an impression on us. She was awesome and deserves some recognition! We’ll definitely be back. Oh, and food was 10/10 too.“

“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.“

“Seriously one of our most favorite spot in Edmonton. Chris is a legend and his staff are gems. Happy Hour never disappoint & special of the day is usually spectacular. We go as often as possible. A++“

“We hosted an event with 34 guests at Slow Pour in June and we’re so happy with how it went! Sean, Emily and the Slow Pour Team were very accommodating and responsive during the planning as well as the evening of and the space was the perfect vibe. They had a good variety of drinks available and special mention to the perogies which were a favorite!“

“Came with my mom for my birthday, and the experience was absolutely incredible! The food was delicious, and the beef dip and crudo were some of the most amazing dishes I’ve ever tried.
What truly made the experience unforgettable, though, was our server, Piper. He was incredible from start to finish. He knew everything about every dish we ordered, was extremely knowledgeable about our gluten allergies, and made sure we felt completely taken care of.
Beyond the amazing service, you could genuinely see Piper’s passion for hospitality. He went above and beyond and made my birthday celebration feel extra special.
Thank you, Piper, and thank you to the chef and the entire team. You were all truly outstanding, and we will absolutely be back!

“Have been to this location twice now while on holiday from Saskatoon. Leopolds Broadway in Saskatoon is my spot of choice and while in Edmonton Strathcona is a home away from home. My bartender was fantastic , she was very attentive and even open to banter about the ridiculous virtual golf league on the tv. 10/10 recommend as a sober person !“

“Didn’t have food but the service and the beer were exceptional!!!!!“

“Mark was exceptional. Greeted us with a sipper drink once we were sat, promptly took our orders afterwards. Drinks were great and he attended to us for the perfect amount of time and made great, thoughtful recommendations for other spots to check out. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!“

“Great place for live music. If you like music with more rock, metal and punk flair with touches of grunge and glam, The Dive Bar is your place !!“

“great atmosphere, good food good company.“

“Ojs is a place I frequent with my girls, sometimes for lunch, often for a very late dinner and drinks (thank you for having cider on tap!) In my many visits im often served by Sawyer, of whom is an absolute delight. Shes attentive, kind, personable and gives me a good reason to keep on coming back! The place aint the same without her and frankly the food is only half the experience. Anyways! great place, good people, good food. Please keep her around!“

“amazing drinks & appies; great ambience Linda is the best!!! Definitely recommend checking it out!“

“I booked a reservation for our anniversary thru open table, but somehow it reserved a table - at the Prince George restaurant…after speaking to the manager, Stefan, he sat us in the lounge at a nice table by the fireplace, gave us a couple of drinks on the house, and had a great steak dinner, then got a delicious dessert( on the house)… I just want to thank Stefan, our server and the rest of the staff for making our night out a success… Taras Pyzyk“

“this is the spot for real“

“Had an absolutely fantastic experience at Vons Steak House last night! My friend and I started with the oysters, then shared the seafood linguine and the 10 oz prime rib—and everything was absolutely delicious. The drinks were great too!

Our waiter was fantastic and really made the experience enjoyable. We also had a great visit with the General Manager, who had an amazing sense of humour. There were lots of laughs throughout the evening, which made an already great meal even better.

Great food, great drinks, fantastic service, and an overall wonderful atmosphere. We had such a good time and will definitely be coming back!“

“The venue has a great set up for the band to preform and ample space to walk around with a merchandise area in the back that is set up really well every time I’ve gone. Don’t like the idea that once you’re in you can’t leave to drop off merch you have bought or put a way your jacket in the middle of the show. There price for beer is on the high side of pricing as well and I see more people pre drinking in the parking lots before going into the show“

“We travel lots and our go to place is the Brewhouse at the Edmonton Airport. We recently traveled and our server, Daija H, was amazing as always. The food was amazing and the drinks and beer were fantastic.“

“My new favourite Pho place. The BEST costumer service, ever. Our food is always served so fast. I’ve tried a lot of Pho places and this one by far is the best. Great menu too. Definitely only going here from now on!😊“

“Good food Good service! Thumbs Up for a Delicious food we ate at Dorinku Tokyo. Surely to come back again for another taste…😊😊😊😋😋😋“

Our waitress cut his arm he was bandaged up and continued on excellent waiter! He made it extra special! There was a mix up without reservation! Front staff really helped and were very accommodating ❤️Highly recommend❤️❤️❤️“

“Access to facilities are easy and very reasonable. The activities provided for you and your family are awesome.“

“The chilli rub rib steak was awesome as well as the drinks. Yana was able to recommend a nice glass of red wine to pair with the steak and it really hit the spot. Bar team makes a real good dirty martini. Table side Caesar was an experience and one of the better salads I’ve had. Yana was super kind, knowledgeable, and professional.“

“We tried a new restaurant last night and it was fantastic! I love Ethiopian food, and wanted to try a place I hadn’t been to before. First thing to note is that the word “Bete” is not the french word “bête,” meaning “beast” (as in animal). It is an Amharic word meaning house, similar to “Beth” in Hebrew and “bayt” in Arabic, as I was told. All this just to clarify that the restaurant’s name is more closely translated as “Africa House,” not “African Beast,” which I ignorantly thought prior to learning this from the owners. We told the host that it was our first time there and that we were willing and eager to learn from him and try new things. He was very helpful and guided us though the menu. Before making a decision, we noticed that some other guests were eating fresh banana with their injera (the ubiquitous crêpe-like sourdough bread served with virtually all dishes), which piqued our interest, Lindsay in particular. When we asked which dishes came with banana, he laughed and told us that they don’t serve bananas, and it’s a common way of eating injera for Somalians, and that those guys arrived with their own banana. Apparently this is a BYOB restaurant. So, with no bananas to be had for us, we decided that the $99 mixed plate was the way to go. As you can see, there is a wide variety of food in this dish. In the middle, ground beef topped with their homemade cheese (similar in texture to feta, not as strong in taste, yet oh so fresh). At first, I was convinced there was mint in this, then I realized it was rosemary. It made it very refreshing. Bottom left is a perfectly spicy lamb tibs in the most delicious red sauce. Next to that is a mild lamb tibs that was juicy and yummy, with a couple jalapeño accents just for fun. To the right was a fried beef strip dish with onions called cha-cha tibs. Up top, a variety of lentil and chickpea mashes, plus pickled beets and cabbage. We ate like the locals, with our hands, using small torn off pieces of injera as temporary, edible utensils, and were endlessly satisfied as we worked our way around the platter. The only problem was, we just couldn’t finish it, so we ended up with a takeaway box of a couple pounds of leftovers (aw, shucks). We had a wonderful conversation with the husband and wife team, who shared so much about their culture, including the beautiful artwork and artifacts throughout the space. We even got to meet their baby, who, I am proud to say, reached out for me to hold her. She was adorable! We also learned that the wife occasionally offers cooking courses. Would you be surprised to learn that my name is on the waiting list? One can’t help but salivate I’m thinking about such a culinary experience. I wish I had discovered it sooner, despite having driven past it countless times (it’s on 111 Avenue across from Tony’s pizza). To be honest, it’s not the classiest part of town (I reported a needle to 311 on our way out), so if you’re leery of that sort of thing, now is the time to get over it and see what rewards await you when you step outside your social and gastronomical comfort zones. Just be sure to invite me along when you do.“

“Since moving back home to the island The Bower is my go to venue when returning to Edmonton. Being a DJ this place hires incredible fellow DJs. Strongly recommend!!!!“

“My family and I were evacuated from our home in Drayton Valley and this restaurant offered the evacuees a free meal which we had and it was awesome! We are incredibly grateful for places like this in such a stressful situation ❤️“

“I Am Very Impressed With The Amazing Bowling Deals On A Cheap Day On A Non-Game Day. Very Respectfully Got To Say The Service is Absolutely Amazing! Also Looking Forward To Eating There Next Time I Come. Also Look Forward To Bowling Again Too!“

“Absolutely loved this place! A fantastic local spot with very reasonable prices, delicious food, friendly service, and incredibly fresh, tasty beer. Everything was excellent from start to finish. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!“

“Owner and staff are amazing. Best nachos on Whyte Ave…we’ll b back.“

“My husband and I were looking to have a nice dinner together whilst trying to kill time waiting on family. We had finished our meal and were just having coffee (a standard with us post dinner) and we were approached by the manager asking us if we could accommodate a table that was reserved up top where we were, and he would relocate us to another spot. We had absolutely no issues with that, especially since we were killing time. They moved everything for us and luckily the same waitress even came by in not even her section, just to check on us; which as a past serve I know can be hard but it was acknowledged and appreciated. And on top it all they discounted our bill, which was absolutely unnecessary but GREATLY appreciated. 10/10 will be back to this location, just due to the service alone. Highly recommended. Thank you Keg West Edmonton“

“great pub awesome patio, best wings“

“What a great find. Nice and quiet restaurant, Shea our server was amazing. She was tentative and very knowledgeable about the restaurant and knew the menu inside out and had an awesome personality. Owen prepared the table side Caesar salad which was the best that I’ve ever had as well he prepared the table side peppercorn sauce which was out of this world. We ordered the strip loin and tenderloin steaks and they were delicious and cooked to perfection. The side dishes are plentiful and ideal to share with the table. Definitely recommend and look forward to our next visit.“

“Just a great place to eat and hang out“

“I absolutely love The LUXX!!! This is my all time favourite dance bar. I will be coming here for my bachelorette in a few days and can’t wait to see my favourite bartender and dance the night away. Way better than beercade with good music, cheap drinks and amazing service. I can’t wait to come here again. I would recommend this place to anyone!“

“Love the French Onion soup“

“The Blues on Whyte or the Commercial Hotel (the Commy) is known by locals as 'the happiest place in Edmonton' particularly every Saturday afternoon from 3-8 pm for the best rythym and blues anywhere. Hosted by Gary Martin and Joe Piccolo its a guaranteed good time. One thing to note - the 'jam' attracts an older crowd on Saturdays. But the dance floor is always active.“

“Awsome time with great friends and new people“
