This was the wvrst lunch I've ever had!

Sorry, had to get my pun in there like everyone else.

I came in on a Saturday afternoon to find the place fairly quiet. I didn't know how things worked so I just pulled up to a bench and waited. A staff member…More »

Oh Smuggler's how I miss thee.  Your ambiance is dark and sexy and you really spice things up with that wasabi salad dressing.

Easily the best prime rib in Calgary in my opinion.  Your meat is always cooked to perfection, not that you should order…More »

THE BEST PULLED PORK SANDWICH OF MY LIFE!!

To quote Dave O. you will have "happy belly" after eating here.  The camel is a pretty nondescript place.  The sign just has a picture of a camel and says "cafe" and "sandwiches".  I have run past this little…More »

Ok Phil, listen up. I'm going to give you a 5 star review but in return I want beef ribs when I visit again in March. I came all the way from Toronto just to try your beef ribs and you ran out literally 5 people before it was my turn to order. Deal?…More »

You know it's going to be good when you can smell the place a block away.

It was a brisk Sunday morning when I met two fellow Yelpers for lunch. The windows were steamy and Porchetta was just gearing up for a busy lunch. The place is small but it is…More »

This is THE place to go in Calgary for a steak.  Forget about the keg, smugglers (though Smugglers has the best prime rib), Hy's, or any other place.  

You're going to spend $30-$40 for a steak but you'll get the service to match that price.  They…More »

My friend brought me here while I was down in SD visiting.  I didn't believe that people would wait in such a long line for a burger.  It was well worth the wait.

The milkshakes are fantastic, the onion rings are fantastic, and the burgers are…More »

Hands down the best burrito outside of Old Town San Diego.

Yeah its a little pricey compared to Taco Bell but you can't even put them in the same category.  If they would franchise I would have a store.

My only complaint is that the hot salsa isn't hot…More »

This places rivals my love for Chipotle.  I had the small pork burrito which was the perfect size to fill me up and not leave me feeling bloated.  The guac, salsas, meat, and some drinks are all made in-house so they're quite authentic.  The pork is…More »

Just based on the name of this restaurant you know what to order.  If you're new to Calgary this is the place to get ginger beef.  They invented it!!

What do you mean you don't know what ginger beef is?  Blasphemy!! Get your ass over here right now…More »

This is a great little butcher in Cabbagetown.  Not only do they have a great selection of meats they have the accessories you need too.  You can't have a steak without potatoes so you can get those here, and maybe some fresh fruit for dessert.…More »

I spotted this little gem when I was riding by on my bike.  It seems that it is a husband and wife team running this place.  They were really friendly and helpful.  Obviously I went in to buy a steak.  

They had a handful of options and cuts.  Each…More »

This is one of the best burgers I've had in San Diego. I would say second only to Hodads. It's simple but juicy and delicious.

The place was packed when we arrived on a Sunday afternoon so my friends and I had to stand while we waited for some seats…More »
