1. Jubilations Calgary Dinner Theatre
Jubilations deserves a star upgrade because of the time and consideration taken to provide some outstanding customer service.
I was treated to a night at Jubilations this week by a client of mine and she has significant dietary restrictions for…More »

I have been to Jubilations at least 3 or 4 times and have never been disappointed by the show. They… Read more »
2. Aussie Rules Foodhouse & Bar
Aussie Rules gets 5 stars because I've been here at least 4 times and not once did I walk out not feeling I had a great time. Unless you are lame (and those who are likely know it), this is guaranteed fun. Some might consider it a pricey night with…More »
3. Log Barn 1912
There is a lot going on in this little store, but I have no desire to purchase anything but food. I had a giant, delicious and gooey cinnamon bun which doesn't require a pound of icing to make it so. I also bought a pumpkin pie which is massive and…More »
4. Jacqueline Suzanne's Bistro & Antiquities
Alright, Jacqueline Suzanne's gets an update to a solid five stars. My spouse and I decided to revisit JS's for our recent anniversary dinner. At this point, my expectations were very high and we both were very satisfied, as we had yet another…More »

I experienced my most romantic dinner here, seated on the upper level of the restaurant. The food… Read more »
5. The ROCK Cafe & Restaurant
The ROCK gets an upgrade to 5 stars because my second visit this weekend bestowed another incredible meal at an economical price with even better service (food was delivered in a timely fashion), despite the fact that the restaurant was busier than…More »

My review is long but less detailed thanks to Lauren H. I was part of the group of eight that had a… Read more »
6. Cookies On The Go
Cookies On The Go gets 5 stars for a few reasons. First of all, their baked goods and other sweets have always been excellent. I'm not much of an oatmeal fan, but their Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chip cookies are amazing. They have a lovely display…More »
7. Chicago Deep Dish Pizza
I'm sorry, but I still like an old school, heavy duty, big and somewhat greasy pizza. This location has never failed us and there is pizza night in my house once a week (usually for boys night, but I usually indulge in a piece or two). You know you…More »
8. 7 Eleven Food Store
This store is slightly less accessible because you can't drive directly to it from southbound Shaganappi, which seems to make it a bit less busy. I'm writing about this location because I have found the cashiers to be noticeably friendly, which I…More »
9. Regal Beagle Pub
Regardless of how busy it is, it's worth going on a Tues or Thurs for their awesome (and sometimes shockingly gigantic) boneless ribs, on special. They have many flavors too, but the Beagle Sauce is my fav.
10. Joshua Tree Cafe
I am a cafe mocha freak and the staff at JT make the best mocha. I do enjoy Second Cup's as well, but I still think Joshua Tree has them beat. I usually pass on the topping, but not here because they make it with chocolate whipped cream. Hello!
…More »
11. Diner Deluxe
I was here for a group breakfast today (they no longer take reservations). The service and food was just as good as each of my past visits. The diner has been renovated since December 2011 and I hadn't seen it yet. They did a good job and it has…More »

I've always had good service, the food is made with love and the decor brings back fond memories of… Read more »
12. Boogies Burgers
I was pretty excited to have an excuse to return to Boogies so soon after my first visit. Thank-you, Saskatchewan visitors!
I tried June's Jerk Chicken Burger and holy crackerjacks, that is one spicy piece of meat. I'm certain it's the spiciest…More »

I finally resolved my issue with the crazy name and had dinner here. I ate the Pizza Burger and my… Read more »
13. South St Burger Co
SSBRGRCO (as written on the street level sign) is in the Beacon Hill Shopping Centre and opened last week Thursday. I caught wind of it and took a drive over. Good food is always worth the trek, if you ask me.
The space is wide open, bright,…More »
14. La Viena
Easy to find, inexpensive dishes, super fresh and delicious pasta, cozy atmosphere. Don't let the exterior of the restaurant fool you.
15. Quynh Vietnamese Cuisine
I can't say that I've been to a Vietnamese restaurant I didn't like, but for some reason this is my favorite. The restaurant is big, open and bright, it's clean, the service is fast and the food is good and hot! Especially the soups. The Currie…More »
16. Jameson's Irish Pub
I really like the openness and atmosphere of this pub as it's good for mingling and people watching. It certainly can get busy and very loud, which has driven me somewhat batty in the past (you know, cranking the music to compete with crowd noise).…More »
17. Nixx Neighbourhood Pub
This is one of my favorite neighborhood pubs. It's clean and modern with a rustic feel. I really like the large windows and bright atmosphere, therefore making it a guilt free pub visit during the daytime. It doesn't feel like you're holed up in a…More »
18. McDonald's Restaurants
I only started going to McDonald's on a regular basis when the McCafe coupons showed up in my mailbox within the past month or so. I plan on using every one and so far, I've stopped at this McDonald's location at least three times, including today,…More »
19. Cookies By George
Yes these cookies are expensive, but if you have a coupon, get your butt over there. I won't buy any unless I have a coupon, but who needs this craziness more than once or twice a year anyway? I think the cookies are fantastic. Soft with massive…More »
20. Peters' Drive-In
If you like big milkshakes with lots of flavor varieties and non-greasy burgers, stop here. The fries and onion ring portions are huge. If you see a long line-up, don't worry about it 'cause it tends to move along nicely and you may encounter some…More »
21. Edelweiss Village
This is an awesome stop for European goods. You could browse the store for ages if you like trinkets and food. There are some fantastic and unique gift ideas, particularly if you want to share a piece of Europe with someone who has never been…More »
22. Lina's Italian Market
Calgary, AB T2E 2T5
(403) 277-9166
Categories:
Caterers,
Delis,
Grocery,
Coffee & Tea
Upon returning from my trip to Italy in 2006, I searched North Calgary for an Italian store or market that would best help to revitalize my experience and memories. Lina's = jackpot!
23. Yuk Yuk's Calgary -
I'd say this is the nicest comedy venue in town. Moderate lighting, nice booths and decent service. I've only ever paid full price for a show once (thank goodness because weekend evenings are a bit pricey) as my spouse's company often books the…More »
24. The Laugh Shop
I've been going to the Laugh Shop for years (formerly Yuk Yuks) and have never left without laughing until I cry at least once. Some nights are better than others, but in general, they book quality stand-up comics and I do prefer this location for…More »
25. The Lazy Loaf & Kettle
Based on my experience over the years, The Lazy Loaf can do no wrong. I've eaten their catered food more times than I can count and the sandwiches are always perfection. Not once have I even been mildly disappointed in anything I've eaten. In…More »
26. Moxie's Classic Grill
Calgary, AB T3J 4V7
(403) 291-4636
I've never had a bad meal here and I can't complain about the service either. However, Moxie's gets four stars in my book strictly because of their white chocolate brownie. I have joined others in road trips across town to various locations just…More »
27. Serendipity 3
Las Vegas, NV 89109
USA
(702) 731-7373
Categories:
Desserts,
American (New),
Juice Bars & Smoothies
Neighbourhood: The Strip
If nothing else, you must stop by to try the frozen hot chocolate. It's often a busy place, so the walk-up window is handy. I've had two meals here and tasted others. I must say that I nearly died and went to heaven when I tried their mac and…More »
28. The Donut Mill
No stop at the Mill is a quick one because I have decision-making disorder when I'm trying to purchase a donut. Do I buy one or three? If I buy three, do I eat two on the way back to Calgary and share the last one with my spouse or eat them all?…More »
29. Second Cup
Yes, I have said that Second Cup makes nearly the best mocha in town next to Joshua Tree, but I wasn't really feeling the love at this location. The two women on staff appeared pretty mellow and maybe even glum. I saw one of them chewing food while…More »
30. Dairy Queen
I rarely end up at this DQ because it's a bit hidden in a residential neighborhood. My spouse and I took advantage of our most recent Blizzard Club BOGO coupon by stopping by this location for a change. It's very clean and I like the atrium.…More »
31. Al's Eatery & Bakery
Al's is formerly known as the Cheesecake Cafe just west of Northland Village Mall. I had to stop by because the sign said that the food hadn't changed. Upon entering, the restaurant looks exactly the same and the cheesecake display case remains…More »
32. Game Time Sports Bar & Grill
If you have not experienced the small town bar atmosphere, you will not appreciate this place for what it is. If you want to compare it to high-end lounges or clubs with upper-class clientele, then of course Game Time is going to be a 1 or 2 star…More »
