    a pint of guinness on a table
    Shawn R.

    We don't usually venture to Whyte Avenue, but we decided to try something new for the mother in laws birthday. Walking in it gave a pubish feel, and they still had their St Patrick's decor and specials on. I ordered a Guinness in the honor of my Irish friends :-) and a Jameson shot. We started with the garlic fingers served with donair sauce. I'm not a fan of the sauce but the fingers were pretty darn good. For mains I ordered mussels and clam chowder soup and the wife got fish tacos. Fist off, the food took forever to come out. Over an hour. We had an escape room to go to so when the food did finally arrive, we had to stuff our face and book it out of there. Quality of food was hit and miss. The garlic fingers were good, however the wife said the fish tacos were cold and my mussels were meah. The soup was nothing special. Too much potato and not enough of the other dressings. If I were to go again, it would strictly be for drinks and maybe appies.

    Food was hot and delicious. Reminded me of Nanny's chowder. Mmmm. My son had the lobster Mac and cheese and he said "Really Good!!" Wrap was delicious as well.

    When someone remarks "They very rarely eat us anymore!" It is clear they cannot speak English, little own write a review. The girls from the "Beercade" next door cannot afford to eat here... they will sit and not order food to use the bathroom. Obviously if they could afford to eat here, they would not be purposely writing fake reviews out of spite The food is excellent, the manager cares, the staff cares, and Nicole is the best! Whoever is posting these angry reviews has no business being on Yelp trashing otherwise excellent restaurants for no reason beyond they cannot afford to eat here. Let us support local and keep B&G on Whyte ave!

    While on Whyte ave we stopped here for a late lunch. 1:45PM Sunday it was pretty busy 80% full. But we learned that is because they have a brunch 10AM - 2PM. By 2:15PM it was only 50% full. We ordered Not from the brunch menu and were told it would be over 20minutes for food as they "switch over from brunch to lunch" and asked if that was okay. We agreed but in the future will try to avoid this time. It took 25minutes for food - I am Very happy they warned us or I would have been quite upset. Staff was very friendly and we got a refill of water once. Decor is really nice. Classy, well lit, appropriate for a bar night with friends, bringing family, date night, etc. Stools had cushions which I really appreciated and felt very comfortable. We tried the fish tacos - I like that you can order as many as you want as they are $5 each. Very good taco. Fish is not breaded but was cooked perfectly. Slaw was refreshing, and flavorful. Wrap was toasted and soft. It was a little moist for my taste as juices were leaking out making quite the mess while we tried to eat. But overall very good flavor and portion. We also tried the philly cheesesteak poutine. This was very good although we were very hungry by this time. Fries were pretty standard. Gravy was rich but could easily be from a box mix - but I do not mind a good box mix. Chese curds were authentic. steak bits were sooo tender and delicious. Green pepper was cut very thin and very cooked. Overall tasted great, portion was appropriate for the size but I can't imagine enjoying the entire thing on my own (too much fried, rich food). Overall good food, good staff, nice place.

    Second chance was a charm. Lively place had a fun atmosphere with the oilers game on 2 big screens. I have to say weekends here are where its at. Great food, good drinks and great service. The service is always great here, and the beer choices are awesome (i like the wide variety of canadian beers!) I think my first visit was an off day, because my second visit was stellar. Hopefully this place can keep everything consistent for future visits. I have tried the iconic dishes on the menu and I have to say the best items on the menu are the fish and chips, the lobster rolls, and the blueberry donuts. The ratio of lobster in the rolls was perfect and I really liked how the meat was seperated from the coleslaw which really made these rolls stand out from others I have tried elsewhere. The fish is one of the best in edmonton and the donuts were an elevation of their carnival cousins. Overall, this place seems like a great weekend spot for sharing east coast comfort foods.

    The best fish and chips we've had! Moist and juicy on the first bites and we were sold! Got to come back for the fisherman's basket and try more seafood. They say their seafood is flown in from the East Coast too! The tartar sauce though is amazingly good! The fries were decent, a bit salty. And we also tried the garlic fingers because that's what our East Coaster friends top recommendation was! And they were good! The vibe was chill on a Sunday it was a nice lunch stop. Prices weren't too bad either. Lots of seating and mice background music was a good date spot. It's a seat yourself which I personally prefer. Parking wise it's Whyte ave so snag what you can but the side streets were good to us! Interesting note the Caesar's were on special on Sunday and they come with donair meat on a stick which looked super intriguing.

    I came here on a Sunday night with two other friends. The service was very attentive and friendly. It's a seat yourself type of place. The place was medium busy and maybe about 70% of the tables were filled when we came in. On Sundays, they have garlic fingers ($4 off) and ceaser ($2 off) specials. We ordered their garlic fingers, lobster rolls and am OG ceasar. Between three people, these dishes were enough to fill us up! Garlic fingers came in a pizza shape cut up in rectangles. Very cheesy and delicious. It came with a sweet donair sauce. My friend didn't like the sauce but I did. It depends if you're a person who likes garlic cheesy taste mixed with sweetness. One of the reasons I came to this place was because I've seen many pictures of their lobster rolls on social media so we definitely ordered it. It didn't disappoint. The mini buns were nice and crunchy. The lobster was delish and every bite was of the roll was so flavorful. I didn't try the OG Ceaser but my friend liked it. The presentation of the Ceasars must be one of the most unique in the city. It came with a donair on a stick. I haven't been to Halifax so I can't say how authentic this is. Blowers & Gafton is a great addition to the Whyte avenue scene nonetheless. It wouldn't be my first choice to pick to eat since there are many other great places on Whyte. However if I'm craving some seafood and fried food, this would be a place to go!

    This is a very cool little restaurant on Whyte Avenue. They advertise as Halifax Street Food and bar, as I have never been out east I can't confirm but talking to some people from out east this is exactly what their menu is. I had their fish and chips which was very good I paid an extra six dollars for a third piece of fish that I could split with my two-year-old son. The three pieces of fish and chips fed both of us and we were both very full. The fish was very crispy and didn't get soggy on the bottom like a lot of other fish places get. We would definitely go to this place again.

    I went with my husband and we shared a bucket of muscles and a plate of lobster rolls with fries. I thought it was all amazing. I had a nice beer on tap as well. I went a week later with an East coast friend of mine. She knows her fish and chops. I put them to the test. They passed. She really liked them, but the tarter sauce got the thumbs down. I like the atmosphere. The service is OK. Great music: Tragically Hip, Stompin' Tom.... There is no attitude. Its so comfy. I thought the prices were fair as well. I would like to get through the rest of the menu. Especially the pizzas.

    Bowl of soup, house made chips, garlic cheese fingers! Happy hour specials (except for the soup)

    New favorite spot! Manager (shack/shaq) and female server from today are so friendly! Excellent every day happy hour specials, football on the big screen, and quaint yet lively environment. Will be coming back regularly! Thanks guys!! @mars.eats.world

    Been wanting to eat here for a long time now but bec of the pandemic, it got delayed. Anyway. Ordered the lobster rolls with fries. Yes, they were mini. There were mini three rolls which i think was okay for its price. The bread was buttery and so good - i mean who doesnt like buttery goodness on bread? The lobster filling was just right for the size of the bread. It was not under nor over filled. And the lobster amount was generous. Only thing i did not like are the fries - they were soggy right from the time i got it. Maybe separate the fries from the rolls instead of putting them under the rolls? My mom ordered the fisherman's feast $36. I think it was a little pricey based on what she got. The fish fillets were of decent size but the clams, scallops and shrimps were of little amount. About four regular sized shrimps, five small scallops and some small clams. The seafood chowder was excellent. Better than what i had at san francisco wharf which i thought was really good.

My wife and I popped in for a quick mocktail before our movie and, I swear, it was like we'd wandered into a family reunion of people we hadn't met yet. The main floor bar seats about ten-ish folks--so yes, you'll be making friends, but that's all part of the charm. The staff? They were absolute stars. Friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. The whole place radiated an LGBTQ+ friendly vibe that was like a warm hug. There's no official mocktail menu, but the bartender gave us a "don't worry, we got this" nod and whipped up a passion fruit cucumber drink that tasted like summer in a glass. We paired it with their hummus and focaccia, which was everything you want on a cozy night out. This place is date-night goals, girlfriend catch-up territory, or just somewhere to hang out and feel like you belong. Cozy, welcoming, and effortlessly cool--can't wait to come back!

Luckily I was there with my friend and not my husband and we decided to split a bunch of things. We tried the fried foccacia with hummus, the tom yum garlic scapes, the braised lentils and the dark chocolate tahini truffles. Our favourites were the hummus, thick and creamy and paired well with the fluffy foccacia. Also the dessert the tahini truffles were really unique and delicous. Everything else was fine but I probably wouldn't order it again. Server was friendly and knowledgeable.

I jumped on the chance because I love the pizzas here. They have a soft doughy crust. So we ventured here for lunch. It wasn't too full, and it took a while for someone to notice and get us seated. We actually debated leaving, however finally they seated us, it was all good. (Hence why it looses a star). Atmosphere is pretty typical for a craft brewery. I am not a huge sports bar fan, and I was pleased to see that TVs were not a focus here. Menu is good. Lots of different things to try, but they are well known for their pizzas. Great selection of beers. Also an okay selection of cocktails and wine. I am on medication, so I tried a "near beer" can that they offered and I was pleased with the flavour. I wish they would have a non alcoholic that is more local on tap. Hubby because of driving went with a coke. We decided on two pizzas - PB & J which contained roasted pineapple, smoked bacon, fresh jalapeño, mozzarella, brick blend and the Animal Style -Ezzo pepperoni, seasoned beef, bacon, pizza sauce, crushed chilis, Grana Padano. Both came out hot and fresh and tasty. I enjoyed my toppings better, however my husband's pizza sauce was absolutely perfect. Service (once we were seated) was pleasant. We received some chocolate dipped strawberries as a customer appreciation gift and that was lovely. My goal is to try all the pizzas. Give it a go if you like Detroit style pizzas.
