This was great! I got the red coconut curry chicken tacos which were spicy and yummy. The grilled avocados were nothing special, but exactly as promised. My mother ordered the shrimp linguine which was delicious. The owner is Korean, which makes me feel that some of the fusion items on the menu are justified. Staff was friendly. read more

We just experienced the worst hamburger we've ever tasted! It had been pre-cooked and then reheated. The texture was indescribable! I had the distinct impression it was not 100% beef. My husband said it was the worst burger he has ever tasted in 66 years. We ate our fries and salad and left hungry. Perhaps other menu choices are tasty, and we just made a poor choice. read more

We stopped by here for lunch because we were on our way to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. We got seated right away. The restaurant wasn't busy - maybe like 10 tables were being served and about 3 waitresses. So we got seated right away. There was free WiFi, but connects to the shop next door. I had a regular burger with sweet potatoes fries. It was okay - nothing special. I have experienced better burgers in New York. The only thing bad was when we asked for our check, it came right way. When we asked for change, it took the waiter like 15 minutes to return to us with our change. We didn't understand why it took her so long cause it was clearly NOT busy at all. read more

The elk burger with blue berry bbq sauce was delightful. We also had the fish and chips with poutines. Great casual place to dine in if your in the area. read more

Mountain Restaurant - Yummy - Canadian (New) Near Me - Lake Louise, Alberta

Let me start with the positives. The food was really good. We also didn't have to wait very long for it. We stopped in here because apparently it's hard to find decent priced food near lake Louise. I got the elk burger with blueberry BBQ sauce and blue cheese and my wife got the Gorgonzola fettuccine. Both were excellent. The prices were kind of steep though. An extra $5 for my wife to get five pieces of shrimp on her pasta was a bit much. It was $3 extra for bacon on my burger. I expect to pay more for food when in a touristy town though. The service was poor. It's a Friday night, so you'd think they'd expect to be busy. When we first came in, we stood there for a few mins because the girl had to find some menus in order to seat us. The restaurant wasn't even half full, so I'm not sure what happened to all the menus. Then service was extremely slow, which may have been because the thunderstorm caused the network for the credit card machine to go down. The ATM was down also. But we sat there for probably half an hour after we were done eating just waiting for the check to come. The waitress kept apologizing once she did come, but I just felt like for the price of the food, the service should have been better. Maybe it was just an off night and they were short handed or something, but we probably won't be back. read more

Had a late morning tasty breakfast of eggs, hashbrowns, and bacon toast sandwich. Reasonable prices (for this area) and friendly servers. Highly recommended for a break from the overpriced hotel restaurants. read more

Mountain Restaurant - Burger meal no with no bun - Canadian (New) Near Me - Lake Louise, Alberta

Best Cream of Broccoli soup I've ever had. Creamy, chock full of corn, cauliflower,and carrots too. First time I haven't had to season with s&p. Hubby had a mountain burger and found it to be delicious. read more

Very varied dinner menu from standard burgers to interesting Asian inspired dishes and options for the health conscious. The homemade thai curry sauce was delicious! Staff was friendly and attentive. read more

We were a little hesitant given the previous reviews but decided to give this place a try (really not many choices in this area). The place was very busy, but service was quick and really good! View was very nice by the window. Food was very delicious too. Appreciate that there are some interesting choices on the menu but nothing too obscure. Price a little inflated as expected. Overall a very satisfying meal! read more

We walked here from Mountaineer Lodge for what we assumed would be a hearty meal, if not memorable. The evening started oddly when the host at the podium seating people had a dour, unsmiling, almost angry look on her face: not welcoming at all. Once our server took over, we felt a lot better, she was very cheerful. Our food was delivered and my husband bit into his burger only to find it was stone cold. We flagged down the server who was most apologetic and took it back to be "redone". He nibbled on the fries that were served with it while I ate my meal (which was unmemorable enough that I can't even recall what it was). After a VERY long wait, the server returned with another burger... which was even colder than the first. I stuck my finger into the side of the burger and it was as if it had been partly cooked then sat on a counter in a cooler for many hours. It was utterly inedible. By that time I had finished my meal and we again called the server, who took the burger back and said she would take it off the bill (I should hope so!). She also apologized and said, somewhat under her breath, that this was not the first time this had happened. (??!!) The server, who was deeply apologetic and embarrassed, is the only reason we would be tempted to give Mountain Restaurant 2 stars. read more

Come down to the Mountain Restaurant if you want to eat in other peoples filth, wash your own silverware, drink bubbly water(?), and waste your money. First thing I noticed were little bubbles all in my water. I thought they gave me a soda or something, turns out its just crusty water or cups. Then upon inspecting the floor, wow... i wanted to puke. leftover food by my feet, trash scattered across other peoples tables, and bits of food, dirt, and crumbs stain the entire floor. Checking out my silverware, my knife was stained and covered with smudge marks and maybe dried up dishwater. absolutely disgusting. And before you say anything, if I'm able to wipe all of that off with my napkin, then yes its f***ing dirty. All of this was reoccurring at every table i looked at. I couldnt tell you how the food was because i already lost my appetite. This is a place that is created and designed to do one thing which is serve customers good food. There is no excuse for any of this, only lessons to be learned. read more

One of the few places to go eat. So the prices reflect that. The food is decent just over priced. Service is a bit lacking but I guess with the 100 or so tourist coming in everyday you're going to lose your enthusiasm. Just wish they made me feel a little more welcomed. read more

Service was BRUTAL!! There were about 3 tables in the restaurant when we were WAITING to be seated. Once seated it took 15 minutes to order drinks and ask, once again for a high chair. The food was definitely not worth the wait either, mediocre at best, no where near worth the price. While we were paying our bill, there were at least 20 people waiting at the door to be seated and for sure 30 empty tables. Save your self the trouble and go somewhere else. read more

Cafeteria food with table service. Side salad was surprisingly fresh. Choice of packaged Kraft ranch, Italian or thousand Island dressing which you have to toss on your plate. Our 2 burgers and 2 cokes came out to $45 with tax an tip. Service was quick. read more

Very good food, we're satisfied with the taste and portions. I will recommend this to our family & friends! Ty. read more

Mountain Restaurant - And here was our view out the window - Canadian (New) Near Me - Lake Louise, Alberta

Pretty basic food. Overpriced for the quality you're getting. But if you need something quick, this isn't a bad option. I had the crispy salmon burger which I didn't care for. My friend had the pulled pork which was good. Waitress was friendly at least read more

Bad coffee and even worse staff. If people don't like working in customer service based positions, they should change jobs. Avoid this place like the plague. read more

Went to this restaurant thinking that this would be a cheap and easy place to eat. When we first got there we waited around to be seated as the sign at the door told us to do. After a while we decided to seat our selves as the only waitress was busy with the other table. We sat down and the waitress was friendly but we could tell that she was very busy. We ordered our food and drinks and they came in a reasonable amount of time. Food was not too bad, kind of what I was expecting from this place. However when we got the check it was about $30 over what I would pay for four people. Would probably not go back unless they drop the prices. read more

Stopped in for breakfast. Eggs and bacon cooked perfectly and the waiter was good BUT I would not come here again. They clearly do not change their cooking oil appropriately. Our hash browns tasted strongly of fish (at 10:00 am) so they clearly used the same oil they'd used the night before to fry fish! I literally felt like vomiting. The chef blamed someone the night before. God only knows how long they've been using the same oil. Low standards - avoid. On top of that the chairs are extremely uncomfortable. read more

We went around 5pm and dishes came out fast. The group got the chicken burger, chicken tenders, shrimp red curry and fish tacos. All were good quality and petty delicious. We were satisfied! read more

I don't think Mountain Restaurant wants customers. Though the "Yes, we're open!" sign was up, we were turned away because they'd just had a big group and were still cleaning after them. We were told to come back in about ten minutes. We came back 40 minutes later to be told they were closed -- though the sign was still up saying they were open and we could see them serving other people. We won't bother trying them again. read more

The prices and food (cod & linguini bolognese dishes) were okay (3 stars) but the service was terrible! It took a while to order, and 20 minutes to get our check and then another 10 minutes to get the CC reader. read more

Good service, good food. Had very good fish and chips, but I was jealous of the Korean bulgogi beef at the next table....I'm trying that next time. read more

Nice restaurant with easy access to the highway and gas. Plenty of parking, wooden decor, roomy. The food was a mix of everything from Asian fusion to German perogies. They gave us coupons to the coffee shop next door and a discount on gas next door. read more

Just had dinner here after a nice day of skiing....we were staying at the chateau down the street and wanted to explore the village...we were seated quickly and our server was very friendly and attentive... I had the mountain burger which was way better than the one at the Chateau! Wife had the linguini and meatballs...was also delicious... A plus was the fountain drinks come in a frosty glass! All in All... Great food, excellent service and value! read more

This place was ok. Dining in the area is pretty limited, but the Mountain Restaurant has beautiful views and an interesting atmosphere. The food and service were both fine - nothing spectacular, but sufficient variety to satisfy all the picky eaters in my family. Very casual. read more

Horrible place. Bad food at a bad price. Pricey for what you get. If you want healthy food do not come. Will do nothing to accommodate needs such as grilling or baking fish and not frying. The problem is that although Banff has decent places to eat Lake Louise does not. Best to try to eat in your room. read more

We had a very long day, we were so hungry, and this was the place we saw right away! We got seated fast, the place wasn't packed when we came. Staff was friendly and the food was very good. Hope to dine in here again! read more

Good food and not crowded! Bison burger was delicious. Good service. Very clean. Not sure what some other visitors saw, but this was very good. read more

me and my girl went there three times, the first time was great, was in winter time, the pizza was really good, so was the service. We could not wait to go back. The second time was pretty ok, unfortunately, the pizza was no longer on the menu and the service was still very good. Bring back the pizza please the third time was last week and did it go off the rails quickly. when we entered, a group of patrons was disputing their to go order as it appeared inaccurate to them. We got sat eventually. we ordered two water and pepsis, my girl had the cheeseburger and I had the mountain burger. I should have read the menu more carefully as I do not like barbecue sauce on my burger. The food arrived very quickly, the beverages required a lot more time and some asking. Quality check was never done. We got one water and one pepsi. we had to get up to get the bill, we were charged for two soft drinks. I just wanted out of there unfortunately. The server was very pleasant, but clearly overwhelmed. Take a moment. I have been in the food and beverage side of things for over 27 years and I can say that this was not a good dining experience. The beverages should always come out first and without having to ask and should be refilled in a timely manner. Take 15 seconds to scope your section table by table and go from there. Serving is an art, do it well. read more

Extremely fast service (during peak season). We ordered a mountain burger and battered cod. Excellent beef, but cheap bun, and too sweet BBQ sauce. Tasty soup with good flavor, but dry chicken. Excellent cod, lightly battered and not greasy. Also very good fries. In all honesty I'd like to give this place 3.5 stars, but the ridiculous, negative reviews push my review to 4. read more

Best pulled pork with fries or salad your choice for $15. Good price for the area. Beautiful mtn view while eating. Would return!

Great traditional Canadian/American foods and a little Korean influences as well mixed into the menu. A good spot!

I struggled with how many stars to give this place. It looks like you're going to eat at a truck stop but you should definitely try it. We were welcomed very nicely and the host showed us to a table by the window, but then our waiter was totally absent minded. The menu is very reasonably priced. My husband got a plate of spaghetti and meatballs which came with three huge meatballs for $16. I had a falafel which was only $12. It was not a true falafel in the Middle Eastern sense of falafel so I can't rank it against traditional Falafel however when you're on vacation and all the menus are full of Burgers and Fries this was a fantastic choice. It was a deconstructed falafel based on a flatbread grilled pita which was then covered in black beans and rice, fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, shredded lettuce and 4 falafel balls. It was a nice fresh meal. And I would have given our visit 4 stars, except I subtracted one because of the waiter. read more

This was our third restaurant stop trying to find food that would satisfy all of our tastes. We are a family of four, and my son said, "how good can it be, it is part of a gas station?" Upon entering the restaurant, there were only two tables with patrons and I thought...uh, oh...this might not be a good choice. While the restaurant is not fancy, the service was spot on. Our waitress was very attentive. I had the Quinoa salad which was delicious, my daughter had the sun dried tomato, pasta and shrimp which she enjoyed but could not finish (ended up being her midnight snack), my son had the stuffed chicken which he said had a little too much olive oil, and my husband had the double burger with fries. All in all, everyone was delightfully pleased. After reading some of the negative reviews, I think they must be making strides to improve the customer experience. Don't pass this restaurant up. read more

I asked for a take out order over the phone. I went to pick up my food 20 minutes later and they try to add a 5% charge for the cooks who made the food. Isn't that their job? I refused to pay even though the 2 servers were adamant that I pay. I refused because of the principle and that I was already paying $37 for two burgers and fries. Now for the food. 2 stars for the food. Burger was ok but drenched in BBQ sauce. They charged me for ketchup and mayonnaise and I swear the fries were from a McCain bag. The trouble is that Lake Louise has very few places to eat so they take advantage with high prices and mediocre food. Wouldn't order from them again even if the meal was free! read more

The elk burger was beyond awful. I am pretty sure the patty was frozen and it was cooked well done, but was charred. I wish I didn't have it at all. It was disgusting and I am sure they used a wad of bbq sauce and and blue cheese to mask how bad the meat really is. I'd rather chew on the soles of my shoes, at least that's free. Not going there again. read more

Quick service and okay food - not a bad place to stop to fuel up after a day skiing or checking out the sights, but definitely not a place to write home about. read more
