1. Chicken-On-The-Way
It makes me sad when Calgarians don't recognize the gift they have in a classic establishment like Chicken on the Way.
Being a "transplant" to this city myself, I remain impressed by Chicken on the Way's classic fried fare.
The chicken is juicy and…More »
2. Tubby Dog
Tubby Dog is a gem of our fair city.
Hot dogs, sporadic punk shows, kitsch ...
What more could you ask for?
I always find it nearly impossible to resist the A-bomb (cheese, bacon, potato chips ... y'know ... the essentials!), but the other hot dogs are…More »
3. Boogies Burgers
Boogie's is classic in every way.
Good burgers, fantastic fries, amazing shakes.
The burgers are not the best I've ever had, but the sauce is good, they are succulent and the bun is delicious (home-made?). Fully satisfying.
The fries are some of my…More »
4. Las Tortillas
This is the place.
It has been a long and fruitless search for some good tacos in Calgary, and finally, this is the place.
At $3 or $4 apiece, these little tacos pack a wallop of flavour. Your options are generally beef, chicken, pork, chorizo, shrimp,…More »
5. Holy Smoke Barbecue and Smokepit
Best BBQ (so far!) in Calgary.
Simple, smokey, straight-forward BBQ joint.
Open mainly for lunch (10-4), Monday through Saturday.
I had "The Manwich" which is 4oz. of Pulled Pork and 4oz. of Brisket on a bun. Very good.
They have a LARGE array of…More »
6. Alley Burger
I first got to try the Alley Burger food truck at the Barista competition at Fratello Coffee.
Needless to say, the burger was fantastic. Full of flavour, and completely satisfying.
I also like the look of the truck and there are a lot of options for…More »
7. CB Drive Inn
CB is a classic little joint.
It reminds me of so many of the little ice cream or fried food shacks in midwestern USA.
The prices?
Good!
The guy who was working the counter (possible the owner?)?
Awesome.
The names of the burgers?
Hilarious (a double…More »
8. Kings Restaurant
There is so much I like about Kings:
The industrial location, the "shady exterior" (complete with a barred door and a chain hanging from it), the team of servers in orange t-shirts (that seem like they belong in a diner moreso than a chinese…More »
9. Peters' Drive-In
Peter's.
I mean, yes, the nostalgia factor is cool. I love a place with some history. I love a place that has been doing the same thing for decades.
But when that "thing" is not very good quality, what more can you say?
The burgers are tough little…More »

Coffee, Coffee and ... COFFEE! (10)While mostly fancy shmancy espresso-huts, here's where I like to come for a good ol' cup-a-joe! |
