Bartenders are top notch, managers understand their clientele when it comes to what to play on the TVs. And they play sound even when it's not the oilers. No one else does that. That's a sports bar. Food is very good. Cobb salad is the best in the city, hands down. That's all I eat there now. read more

Wing night with the boys did not disappoint! This spot is a go-to for wings, and for good reason--they have an incredible variety of flavors, from the unique (Coca Cola and PB&J) to the classics (Honey Hot and Honey Garlic). This time, I went with Chili Lime and Honey Hot, and both were absolute winners--bold, flavorful, and just the right amount of kick. Plenty of seating, fast and friendly service, and an all-around great vibe. If you're a wing lover, this place is a must-visit! read more

No pics, but the Ghost Pepper dry rub wings were great. If you LOVE HEAT try the inferno sauce (on the side!!!). OMG - this stuff was lit! If you love it, ask and they have lids to take the rest with... read more

1st end in the West Edmonton Mall. Mostly burgers, wings, and handheld sandwiches. Labeled as a sports bar, but wasn't like ones I've been to before. Food was OK. My build your own burger was overly seasoned and salty. The curly fries were just that. Service was good and wait staff was attentive. Worst part was charging $2 for a side of Mayonnaise. read more

First off. Try the pretzel. It's amazing. We don't come here too often but when we do I'm never disappointed. The food is great, the burgers are so good and there's so many options. The service has always been prompt and friendly, and it's a great place to go if you want to watch a game! I love the PB&J burger but make sure you get extra napkins since it's messy!! read more

I have walked by many times but have never eaten here. It was recommended by a friend for our group to come for Wing Wednesday. I'm glad we made a reservation for our group as it was busy at 7:30 when we arrived. They had many different wing flavours to select from. I can't have spicy food so I went with honey garlic and taco rub. I was expecting small portions but I was pleasantly surprised how many wings came in my order and couldn't finish them. I enjoyed the honey garlic more than the taco rub. For Wing Wednesday they don't provide veggies and dip but you can get it added for $2 and you get a free carrots and celery sticks. Service was ok, not the best and since we had a group, they tacked on 18% for tip. But for $16.50 for 2 different wings, the price was right. Would definitely be back for more wings on a Wednesday! read more

I dined here last wednesday, and was greeted by a host. She sent us to a seat that was not in view of the tv, and this lovely young lady Paige offered us a seat to which we could see the tv. Props to this lady who stood up to the rude host who tried to reprimand her for being good at her job. Paige really added to our experience props to her Food was delicious and the game was good overall a good experience, just wanted to show some respect for the host that gave us a seat that really made our experience. read more

I have to say, I went in with low expectations, but I have to say, i was thoroughly impressed! I ordered The Heat, and my buddy ordered The Great One Presentation was top notch, we each got our own cone for the curly fries, and they were very crispy, and well seasoned! My burger had just enough heat to make it interesting, but not so much so that it was inedible. Excellent beef flavour, and the combination of sauces and cheese were an excellent match! I will be back! My buddy ordered The Great One, and his burger was huge. I didn't think he would be able to finish it. Two grilled cheese sandwiches, two Pattie's, egg, cheese and crispy onion tangles, with some kind of house made chipotle mayo. He said it was very good, and it looked incredible, making me jealous of what I ordered (fancy that eh) All in all, it was a very good place to sit down and enjoy burgers ! read more

I received a beer while waiting for my family to come and drank a bit then noticed a chip on the glass, the waitress was nice said she would get me a new beer, what came back was a half beer in a new glass and could have just been my old beer poured in, the waitress noted the bartender said this is what I get, my family of 12 decided to go somewhere else to eat read more

What a great place to grab a burger and a pint. After walking around the mall shopping my wife and I decided to stop in here for a bite and a pint. I love that you can build your own burger, don't have to feel bad about taking things off and substituting for other things. The burger was delicious, I strongly recommend you get the house mayo on the burger, so good. The kettle chips were ok a little crispy for my liking but that's just my opinion, I am sure others like them crisp, I will just get fries next time and be happy. Our server was great (I missed her name) and the Manager (Nolan) was awesome. They have a huge selection of beer on tap, of course I couldn't help myself from having an amazing IPA. Kids are allowed, and they do have a kids menu. My 3yo had the sliders and fries and we had no problems with our picky eater eating it all up. read more

Came here for dinner and was not disappointed. The chicken burger was delicious as well as the fries. We were so full we practically had to roll out of here. We were visiting from the states and were happy to find a place with American options. Sam was our waitress and she was great! Would totally recommend. read more

This place is good. The fish tacos were awesome. There is a good variety of wings, both chipotle peach and buffalo garlic parm were awesome! The deep fried mac and cheese balls were also awesome. The service was friendly and the ceaser is very good as well. The only reason it didnt get a 5/5 is the menu seems very limited. Maybe thats a covid issue but I would like to see a much bigger menu. Maybe usually there is. But I will totally go here again. Also it would be a great place for afterwork beers... read more

The food was good the service was good but the beer was warm. I had a couple of different brews and my wife had a corona. They were all warm

I'd say it could be 5 stars if the very young staff gave a care. Pretty nice, but not truly present. Seated on a busy Saturday in under 5 minutes. The food was really good. No complaints. It came in a timely manner. We were well attended to. Beers were $6.50-$8.00. Not bad selection. The menu items have quirky names like Ball Park Pretzels, Fenway Park corn dogs, Tailgate Party Platter, Goal Tenders, Talylor Hall Burget. I always thought I hated deep fried pickles until I tasted theirs. Nicely done. GREAT poutine, but this is a "build your own burger" sort of place. Huge burgers. 5 kinds of fries to choose from. Soups and sides looked good. Condiment caddy was not supplied with enough utensils. Of course there are sports playing on the big screens. Duh. The bathrooms are clean and well stocked. read more

We stopped in for a quick bite of lunch while grabbing a few odds and ends at WEM. This was our first time trying this chain and were pleasantly surprised. The decor is typical sports bar style, a large open area with sports items on the walls and gigantic T.V.'s at both ends of the restaurant. The service was very good and I was happy to see a lot of variety in the liquor menu. I chose a Pump House Blueberry Ale...YUM! Hubby had the soup of the day (tomato & basil) and the deep fried pickles. The soup was flavourful & creamy, the pickles were battered with a light and crispy tempura-like batter with a side of creamy dip. Probably one of the best deep fried pickles I've ever tasted! I enjoyed the fish tacos (3 to an order) which were well seasoned and topped with fresh ingredients in a soft flour tortilla. I definitely think we'll visit again and try some other offerings on the menu. read more

Been 5 years since last here. I lost a hockey bet (thanks Oilers!) and owed my friend beers and wings and she chose this place. My experience was better than 5 years ago. Great service and the wings looked good, I opted for the lamb burger which actually was good as well. It's an ok place if want to go for wing night and have a beer, but there are other lounges I'd go to first before coming here. It's still more of families and teens here (at least both times I've been here). It's more a 3 and half stars (Yelp get on allowing half stars). read more

I'm a little upset with myself for not trying this place when i still lived close by. Now it takes me almost 40 minutes to get here.... but I love it, so I'll have to make the trek. Definitely a great place to watch a game. There are TVs everywhere. We were here on a Sunday, around 5. Happy to see $5.00 Caesars on Sundays! The menu is pretty vast. Typical for what you would expect in a sports bar.. with the edition of a Build Your Own Burger section. I was intrigued.. but the price seemed a little steep. So we opted for an order of nachos and deep fried pickles. These are absolutely, 100% my favourite nachos in the city and i can't wait to get back for more of them. They use a delicious taco beef and a MOUND of cheese. All the toppings seemed fresh and nothing was wilty or soggy. Now... those deep fried pickles. Cutting them into strips like that instead of spears is genius. And how do they taste creamy!? I love them. Service was really friendly and food was served quickly! read more

All right! Ready to screen capture this? Here is my own burger: brioche, beef, Swiss, lettuce, tomatoes, sauté mushrooms, guacamole & honey mustard. Got it? Well I had it made for me. This place offers you to make your own burger. Oui oui ! I always eat at restaurants that I can't find back home and yet, well, this is becoming a problem when I do enjoy a spot so much. I'll be back for more! read more

A friend and I stopped in for a quick drink and an appy before we had to be a concert. We were seated quickly by a friendly (pair!) of servers. My friend is newly pregnant so sadly she could not join me for a drink, but the server was pleased to offer a non-alcoholic beer or cocktail which ended up being perfect for her :) (I had a cider!) My friend ordered their build-your-own burger option, checking off the type of bun, condiments and toppings and I tried the chicken wings. Our food took quite a long time to come out - which I think was unusual because the manager, or a senior staff member came out and was sure to check in with us and apologize for the delay. The meals eventually showed up and were quite delicious. It's not a great place for kids (not sure if kids are even allowed?) and it's quite lounge as it's a sports bar type places, but the servers were lovely, albeit a bit under-experienced - but we still enjoyed our quick visit. read more

Decided to stop in here after a couple hours of hardcore shopping. Lots of football games parking so it's a bit loud but it was managable. I had the "Bronx Bomber" burger. It's a party with pastrami, sauerkraut, pickles, etc. on it. It was really good. The patty is fried, not grilled,so it had the nice crunchy caramelized edges. The pretzel bun was one of the best I've ever had. I opted for the $3 upgrade to poutine on the side and was not disappointed. It was hot, salty, cheesy, and gravy was pretty decent. If I can stand the crowds or parking issues at West Edmonton Mall again, I will be back here to watch football again!! read more

I have been here a few times. There food is always good. They also will change up menu items a bit when requested with no issues. The waitresses are friendly. The only problem I have is a couple times we have been told there is a 5-10 min wait. You look in the bar and there over a dozen open tables. ‍ I think maybe they need to hire more staff. read more

the service was good but the food was awful very bland and the drinks were terrible too

Been here a few times now, always amazing service and excellent food; I highly recommend the curly fries! The drinks are always good and a decent price as well! Great atmosphere and the decor is super cool, TV's everywhere so you never miss a single play or sports! I'll definitely be returning! read more

I tried one of their new menu options, the bacon cheese burger tacos and they were delicious. They basically had all of the ingredients of a cheeseburger including spiced ground beef. They also came with the choice of a side so they were super filling. My go to drink at 1strnd is always their grapefruit radler, it's sweet but still takes like grapefruit. They also have some great happy hour items if you get there before 6 on a weekday. read more

First Round has a good atmosphere, good service and great views of the game. Tons of choices with burgers and wing flavors and overall there is a good selection of food; but the quality is lacking. We tried the macaroni balls and loved them, but we were really disappointed by the amount of chicken and fish we received with our meals. We would go back, but would not order the sliders or fish tacos again. read more

I was just here with some buddies over the weekend not expecting too much of it. I'm not much of a sports fan, but I can say I was pleasantly surprised by my experience here. Our food was brought to us relatively quickly and man was it good. This place has an impressive selection of burgers to choose from, and the donair burger I had was definitely made to impress a donair connoisseur like myself. Simply put, it was great! The burger came with freshly cooked donair meat on the patty which really hit the spot. If you're busy shopping in WEM and need to grab a meal to recharge, check out this place right here on Bourbon Street and see for yourself! Oh and a shoutout to our server Nicole for setting my friend up with a fun birthday shot! read more

Thirty minute wait for a table on a Saturday of a long weekend - but really worth it. Clean environment, which is good because it's fairly new. TV screens visible from all angles. Fun and casual atmosphere. Washrooms are upstairs so not entirely accessible. If you're a burger fan you will enjoy a variety of burgers already on the menu OR build your own. My hubby built his own, loved it and had a side of cactus fries. Endless choices for chicken wings. I couldn't decide so I order d the fish tacos; they were nice and light and great tasting. Not too much sauce and the tortilla wasn't super thick. Also enjoyed a yummy Grapefruit League beer cocktail. Looked like there were 20+ choices for beer on tap. Overall pretty impressed. read more

I absolutely love this place. It is always filled with people drinks and good wait staff who are on the ball and never hesitate to get you a drink or food. Some foods I have tried: All Day Breakfast Burger (by far my favorite with a perfectly cooked, sunny side up egg) Veggie Burger (not my favorite) Tader totts (thats what I call them) - mmmmm Sweet potato fries/yam fries - to die for They always have different games available on the TV's and not just hockey. But when the Oilers are playing, there is a lot of excitement and cheering when they score. read more

I can imagine this place must be hoping on any game night. While it has nice multilevel relaxed seating it also sports a few big screens all locked into... you guessed it sports. But what's really the kicker here is the awesome game day food. In fact the food here is so good it's nice just to pop in for a lunch with the gals. The menu is full of deep fried comfort food. They have about 6 different poutine selections. A whole page so you can build your own burger. And a separate mini menu just for drinks including a substantial beer and wine list. Woot woot Me and my gal pal decided to do a shared lunch. We ordered Golf ball Mac and cheese bites, Asian wraps, and the Buffalo poutine. Every thing we tried was flavourful and hot. And our server was very attentive aswell read more

We came here when our first choice was closed on Sunday. I had the bison burger. It was good, but the only really standout part was the bun. The bun had tasty toasted sesame seeds. I think that is what they were they were dark like poppie seeds, but shaped like sesame. And the bun was sturdy enough to stand up to a packed burger it did not fall apart or get soggy. So great there but rest of the burger was so so. The menu mentioned and onion jam that sounded great but we not as good as it was in my mind. Barry had fish and chips again. After fish and chips last time he is now in some sort of a loop. These were good but the fish was a bit small. And if it was me, I would have to rearrange it all as the fries came in a little bucket and I don't know if I could eat fish and chips without the fish sitting on top of a pile of fries. Also good beer selection and the staff were great. read more

If you want to go out with friends to enjoy the game and have a burger and a couple beers it's a great place. Good atmosphere, good food (if you haven't eaten for the day). Portions are huge and I can barely finish half of a burger, but the flavors are great and the array of different food items is great. However I wouldn't suggest the West Ed location. I've been there a few times and every time I've gone the waiting staff is quite rude and take a very long time to serve you. They aren't very attentive and quite frankly seem bothered by having costumers. If a game is on and I'm with a group, I might come back for some wings and drinks. But probably not at the west ed location. read more

A friend and I decided to check this place out on a Friday night and didn't have the greatest experience. First of all it is extremely loud in here to the point that I was looking at the tables with children at them wondering how parents could feel comfortable subjecting their little ones ear drums to such an assault. While we are on the topic of families I have to say the atmosphere in here is kind of odd with it's mix of beer drinking sports fans and tables with young families. We got an order of nachos as well as an order of wings to split between the two of us. The wings were delicious as they had been cooked and sauced perfectly but I was really disappointed with the nachos. We got them with extra cheese (which costs $3.50 f.y.i) but there were still good sized portions of them with no cheese on them whatsoever. They also had a noticeable lack of veggies with the exception of black olives. Oh man there were just sooooo many olives. I was honestly so disappointed with this $22.50 poorly prepared plate of nachos that I wanted to send them back but we never saw the waitress again after the food had been dropped off until we were done eating. The service here right from the beginning where we had to wait fifteen minutes just to place a drink order straight to the end where we were offered no refills and weren't checked on to see if the food even tasted good was atrocious. I won't spend another dime of my money in this place as there are just so many better options for sit down eating in WEM. read more

You might have learned by now that I'm not a fan of eating in loud places, as I particularly like enjoying my company as well as my food. However, despite its "loud-ness", (which is of course expected for a Sports Bar) 1ST RND, is getting five stars from me! We ate here for the first time last Saturday, and I'm thrilled that the old (Hooters) is gone and the new is here! The menu is typical of pub food - lots of fried items - a long list of burger options - and a gigantic selection of beers on tap. We had a difficult time deciding, as my heart was set on fried pickles and I was eyeing up golf-ball-sized fried macaroni and cheese...in addition to a burger. (Hey, I'm pregnant!) But alas we went for both appetizers and each ordered a burger with fries (or in my case, tater-tots). It was not a "light" meal by any stretch, but unlike the nearby Sherlock Holmes, the food tasted fresh and was cooked to perfection. (Not to mention the bright atmosphere is much better than the "dark creepy basement" feeling of the aforementioned establishment.) I all-but-inhaled the fried pickles. As a southern girl I've had them on numerous occasions but these are honestly the best that I've ever had! Since I didn't do so well with sharing them, I did let my husband have the 3rd of 5 "Golf Balls". However, these two appetizers were so good, I could imagine heading back for them alone! The burger was decent (I went simple - Bacon Cheeseburger without the onions) but by that point I could only eat half. The tater-tots were cooked to perfection and despite being full, I couldn't help eating just a few more out of the giant bucket of them. They were a good reason to indulge in a few hours of shopping afterwards to burn off the calories :) While we don't regularly eat at West Edmonton Mall when we're there, I can see this being a restaurant of choice in the occasion that we do. Although, I think I'll avoid it if the Oilers are playing! read more

I decided to try this new pub and burger joint for the first time a few days ago. I was seated right away and a small table on the "Patio" of the restaurant, there is a large separator wall that blocks you off from the rest of the bar area. Some may not like having a large wall but I like that it allowed me to go to a bar for a meal and not have to see or hear the rowdy crowd or the game that was going on, for which I had no interest in to start with. As I took my seat, the table ahead of me was complimenting their waitress on her amazing service, I was happy to find out she would also be my server. She was a very nice waitress but due to the newness of the place it was very slow paced, this I'm sure will sort itself out over the next few months. I ordered a build your own burger with a gluten free bun, from what i gathered there was no paleo bun option (lettuce wrap or make the burger into a salad like Soda Jerks) the burger was a tad overcooked and the bun was very dry. As I have come to find out, gluten free buns at a restaurant are always dry, not the restaurants fault by any means. The topping options where amazing and made the burger enjoyable. As a side I requested to have a split between cactus cut chips and curly fries. The waitress informed me that the kitchen would not split orders and I would have to order both. Hmmm this is a new restaurant and people are going to want to try as many things as they can, consider adding split items or half orders to the options as in the beginning it would help business. I ended up ordering both and very much enjoyed them! just the right amount of crunch and softness combined. The dipping sauce was spicy and exciting. Once i was finished my bill came promptly. I paid, and mentioned that they should also advertise their restaurant with Yelp as I noticed they had an Urban spoon review recommendation on the bill fold. She said she would mention it to her manager as well as the split meal/ half order size idea. Overall it was okay, give it time to work out some kinks but in the meantime stop by for a bite to eat. They are Paleo friendly. with over 40 chicken wing flavours, i will be trying that next time around. read more

Seriously. An hour for drinks. An hour and a half for food.the service is horrendous. It seems the servers would rather be on their phones than attentive to their table. I would only recommend this place if you want to spend an entire night getting a crappy meal. Cold wings. Cold fries. After 90 Mins you'd think it'd be warm at least. read more

Went on a quiet Monday night. Ordered a 'make your own burger', which was good. Nothing to write home about, but served the purpose. Issue? My Stella came, and it seemed like a small glass (I usually drink Stella, you notice...). Looked at it, and it's a 400ml glass (says so on the side). That explains it being small. BUT, it's in the beer menu as a 500ml beer with a 500ml price. I mentioned it to the server, not in a complaining way I feel, and she said she'd tell the manager. Ate our meal, bill came, Stella is on the bill. And the manager hadn't come and said anything to us. Weird. I went to the washroom and happened to walk passed what looked like the manager. I spoke to him and told him, and he didn't really seem too bothered. Said he'd tell the owners. No attempt at 'making it right' or anything. And our server hadn't spoken to him about it. Very surprised by the lack of caring from the manager, especially as it wasn't even an opinion issue (like we just didn't like their food), but a black and white problem that could technically get them in a lot of trouble. Obviously not a professionally run place read more
