I wish I could tell you the food was good, but it never came. I went here for dinner before the flames game and our food got lost. We didn't have the time to place the order again since the flames game was starting. read more

lol! If sizzler is a 2 this place tries hard to be a sizzler. So.... Ordered nachos and go literally 3 spots of cheese. As bad as the odds are at the casino, you would think that this place will be able to swing a bit more cheese lol Stay away , just like the casino. Head somewhere else. You will thank you self later. read more

Stopped in for a quick dinner. Had the beef bowl and pulled pork burger. Both were delicious and were the perfect portion. Would definitely recommend any pulled pork lovers to give their burger here a try! Cant stop thinking about it! read more

Super yummy place inside the casino. Great place to go with friends & share nachos + pizza. Food is always fresh and actually high quality. My favourite is the margherita pizza & the chippers are a MUST. Servers are all friendly and quick!! Great cocktails & I recommend the pomegranate cocktail. read more

went there, can say it's a good looking place in a casino environment, with nice service, but didn't try the food yet. will come back later for eating. read more

Melrose - Sports Bars Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Before the Calgary Car show, we decided to grab lunch at the casino. I haven't been to the Cowboy's casino since they opened so I thought it'd be nice to check it out. Melrose is your only dining option at this casino so we walked over and seated ourselves. We grabbed a booth facing the bar which was plastered with flat screen TVs (pretty sweet set up) Although the daily special listed on the table said "Pulled Pork sliders - $2 (and on their website!), I asked our server and was informed it's not until after 4PM. Maybe you should include that when advertising the specials! I went with the fish and chips and my boyfriend got the Melrose burger. The food didn't take to long to come out, and it looked appetizing. The fries came in a small deep fryer basket which I thought was pretty cute - but I later realized how little fries you actually got with your meal. I noticed the tables are lower than standard tables because we were crouched over our food trying to eat. Kinda annoying. My first few bites were kinda off, I had to figure out if it was the fish or the tartar sauce that tasted sour - my boyfriend confirmed it was the tartar sauce. I notified the server and she brought me another sauce. Even by comparison of color and smell, you could tell they were completely different. Clearly the first sauce had been sitting out or gone bad - disgusting! They really take advantage of the fact that they monopolize the casino because our bill was around $40 and we didn't even drink! I wasn't expecting over the top amazing food, but for those prices I would. Next time, I'll just grab some hot dogs and nachos at the BMO center. read more

Melrose - Fish and chips - Sports Bars Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

See all

Stopped in for lunch as I was at a conference at the BMO Center and this was the closest thing. Food here was very good. Service was excellent despite the fact that they were short staffed and had been slammed by everyone else attending the conference. That being said our food was a bit slow and half of our table was served before the other half but considering how many people showed up I would say that it was a forgivable offence. I checked in on the Yelp app and the manager gave the 10% off your meal Yelp offer to the whole table which I feel entirely made up for the time we had to wait for our food. I had the fries with truffle oil mayonnaise and it was great. Also shared the Mac and cheese with a friend and it was super rich and creamy. A total comfort food. Someone at our table ordered the club on flat bread and that looked absolutely delicious. Definitely would recommend and would come back to if I was near by. read more

Newly reopening of a nostalgic restaurant. Very good food and one of a kind pretty drinks! Great atmosphere and friendly staff. I would highly recommend the Nashville hot chicken to eat! Also, I found my favourite salad, the salmon salad!! read more

Great new atmosphere. Renovation has made the place feel vibrant and fresh again for the younger crowd. I love the food service here as well! definitely recommend the truffle mushroom pizza. Will come often to watch the sport events as well. read more

Last time. At this location. Swear. Or you can tar and feather me. Every time I have eaten here lately I get sick and tonight was no exception. The hamburgers have to be safe to eat right? Nope. Cannot be cooked to order either - I think they come frozen. BAD. You cannot toast a stale bun people - the outcome is that they are still STALE! The yam fries, weird and goopy/chewy in the middle, they ran out of their normal house ones and they are still charging a premium for this crap that they said they had to bring in from elsewhere. $50 tab for 1 small drink each and one "event menu" snack item each whereby the yam fries were practically all returned on BOTH. It was brought the staff's attention that they were horrible who could care less. Bring in the $, get the patrons out quickly as we are Calgary, we can charge crazy-high prices for product and we hope you will still tip BIG even though our service lacks basic principles of caring, efficiency and food knowledge. This restaurant almost cost me my night out as I felt so rotten after eating there. Zero stars. If I could give it. read more

The staff here were great the other night before the Motley Crue concert. Our server was right at our table when we arrived, got our drinks to us promptly, took our food order in a timely fashion, and got refills at just the right time. They had a good selection of beers, though the special for the evening was Canadian which was sad. I went with a Swing Span...well a couple of them. For dinner I tried the mac and cheese. It was alright. The sauce was a little thin but the noodles were cooked nicely and the garlic toast was tasty. read more

Always enjoyed this place. Food can be spotty at times, but for a pub it has always been acceptable. Any lacking in the food is always made up for in the "drinks"! Haha Seriously, through the years I have always found the staff great! read more

Stampede Parking Lot was a mess with Cirque ending & Flames game starting(April 19,2013) so walked over to Cowboys Casino for a bite. Melrose only eating establishment, so sat and ordered Draft beer Specials & Hawaiian Pizza ... was Good. Waitress was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Atmosphere was great too! read more

It is located in the casino. The drinks are decent, the service is great, and the pizza is grand. They often have drink specials and their is always a game on the screens around the bar. I have only tried the pizza. I keep saying I will try other things on the menu but the pizza gets me everytime. read more

Love this place! Nice seating and fresh hot food. Staff is friendly and attentive and it's a good place for drinks too. Impressed by this gem in the Casino- trust me the food is always fresh and their new burgers are delicious! read more

Are you kidding me? Our order took 50 minutes from order to table, and then I got the wrong FOOD?! Waited another 20 minutes to get my order, meantime my party finished their meal while I gulped mine down. I was disappointed, especially when I've heard so many great things about their original location. I'll have to try the original Melrose Cafe and get back to you all. read more

This is exactly what you need it to be but better. This is a great place to start your evening, before the club, before a concert, before as game. It is better though because you can add great food and great staff. The pizzas and burgers are amazing and the salad is amazing as well. I am sure the rest is great too but I can't bring myself to order anything other than a burgers or pizza and I am here about 3-4 times a month. read more

My friends I and went during stampede! The food was amazing, we had poutine and burgers! The service was great, they were friendly and helpful! I would definitely recommend to other people! read more

I hosted my birthday party a couple of weeks ago at Melrose. The entire staff did an excellent job - right from the word go! I met with the manager Steve ahead of time to decide on a menu and how I would like the space to be arranged. He handled everything professionally and in a timely manner. The day of my party there was another event that afternoon in the space I booked for that evening. I was able to stop by that afternoon and drop off all my decorations and cake. When I returned that evening the space was setup with all my decorations and balloons! Wow - the staff made the space look so nice. I would like to give a BIG thank you to Steve, Cam (bar manager), Debbie & Alyssa (our servers) for making my birthday so special. Everything went smoothly - from taking our drink orders to the the food being served & arranged. I received alot of positive feedback from my guests - they enjoyed the experience at Melrose and would be back. I would not hesitate to recommend Melrose for a birthday or any special event. Thanks again! read more

Melrose, contrary to what other reviews have said, isn't the only dinning option in Cowboys Casino. You can also eat at Zen 8 and the Center Bar, which offers you both Zen 8 and Melroses menu and is normally where I choose to eat. I work next door to Cowboys and often need to have a quick meal. Grasslands used to be in the corner where Zen 8 now occupies and was a cheap and fast food option that being the close neighbor of both The Stampede and The Saddledome offered somewhere you can get a fast meal before your event or for employee's who have a tight schedule. I normally eat at Center bar for lunch when looking for a fast meal as I can order off Zen 8 menu or order something like 1/2 order of Nachos off the Melrose menu, which shouldn't take more than 15 minutes even when busy. The last time I will ever order anything from Melrose happened when granted the restaurant and Center Bar were busy, but I ordered before many of the other people around me. I prepaid at the Center Bar and most of the staff there are awesome, there are some exceptions but that is normal for anywhere. After seeing people served who still had menus when I ordered and it was approaching 35 minutes later I had to cancel as my lunch time was up. Luckily I was given Cowboy staff discount as I think they knew it was going to be a long haul, so didn't get screwed as bad as could of been. I wanted to look the cooks in the eye so went up to where cooks were and told them to cancel my order, I doubt he will care but I didn't have time to wait for a manager as they already wasted enough of my time. The money they made off me will be paid off by my telling countless customers who are looking for somewhere to eat that Melrose doesn't deserve a one star, you can't see the negative sign. If you have time to waste, Melrose might actually be a good choice as two fellow employees got their drinks, 2 beers each, for free this past Friday due to lengthy service time. I value my time more than anything else so I won't order from them again and will negative advertise as much as I can to dissuade others from having their time wasted as well. I can remember when Melrose used to be a fun place to go and was the heart of the Red Mile, boy have they gone down hill. read more

I ordered a whiskey and a glass of water. The waitress brought me my whiskey, but not the water. No big deal I thought, her tray was full since it was busy, so I waited. She never came back. I figured thats cool I can save time by getting it from the bartender. Wow did it turn into a huge ordeal! The counter at the bar wasn't really busy, just two or three people ordering ahead of me. When the bar tender came near I asked if I could get a glass of water. He said nothing, never looked up, never nodded didnt acknowledge me. I wasn't sure if he heard me, but I'm not pushy so I gave him time to finnish what he was doing. Soon he was taking orders of people who were after me. Now I'm thinking this guy is ignoring me on purpose. Why? Cause I'm ordering something that is free and he can't be bothered to poor a glass of water? I was like hey you guys don't serve water here? Then he yells I'm busy, and he said something about being stressed. What is that all about? You're in a service industry. Is this a thing in bars where if you order water, servers laugh and say good luck to you? I was planning on having a few more drinks, but obviously this is not a place I want to spend time in. Loss of sales for a few drinks($20-$50) loss of a customer for life($20,000-$30,000) multiplied by who ever else I talk to, or reads this? Not sure, but I don't think that's good for business. read more

I don't normally think of going to a casino for food, but I checked this place out on a Saturday night. I sat at the bar and had a chicken salad. The bar tender was really fast and efficient and the salad was delicious. Nice place to get a reasonably priced meal, that is, if you don't stop by the stupid head roulette wheel on the way out..... :-) read more

Great food, fast service and incredible people. The atmosphere is awesome, they even have 30 TV's and they always show the games and fights that are on. You get to know the people that work there very well, they are all very inviting and friendly. I've been here a bunch because its so close to the saddle dome, so its even more convenient for a quick bite or a few drinks before hockey games or concerts! Would definitely recommend. read more

Love the place!! Great food great service low prices and just an overall amazing experience! +++
