The Whisky Jack Grill Jasper, Alberta Canada July 2026 I…read morewas in Jasper for two days, on a train vacation that got me out of the District for the semi quincentennial. On Amtrak the trip began in Washington, D.C., through Chicago, then Seattle, then Jasper. Amtrak got me to Seattle seamlessly; and VIA Rail Canada got me from Seattle to Jasper, just as painlessly. Really good planning by my Amtrak Vacations representative, Kevin Guadagnoli, who was working through Railbookers. During the time I had in Jasper, I had the chance to breathe, to observe, to inhale, and to enjoy. Jasper provided all of this, and The Whisky Jack Grill was a major part of the benefits of this trip. I was at the Grill in mid-afternoon, and Tereza was there with no wait and a menu, and a helpful attitude. I settled in with no prior knowledge of what the venue had to offer. Great start: the menu included a beef goulash (spicy smoked paprika beef, potato and onion with a fresh oven-baked baguette, $22) that I was sorely tempted to order, and a competitor - beef Stroganoff (served with linguine past, topped with sour cream and pickles, $34). But I was looking for a lighter option and found it with an appetizer: sticky-finger black pepper tofu! Peppercorn, honey-molasses, butter glazed tempura-fried tofu, served with a delicious Asian slaw ($22). That plus a 4 p.m. double gin and tonic ($12) brought the bill for my late lunch to $35.70 plus a $5 CAD tip. Really impressive service, excellent food, and reasonably priced. Conversation friendly, spacious, and relaxing. I doubt I'll have the chance to return to Jasper (I'm 70 and live in D.C. and my traveling days may be numbered) but if the four winds bring me back, I'll save space for The Whisky Jack Grill. (And I don't mean to be a pest, but according to the venue, there is no "e" in Whisky". Just saying, because that's what's on the postcard they left with my tab.)

We really enjoyed our meal at The Whisky Jack Grill in Jasper! The smoked roasted beef brisket was…read morefantastic, and I would definitely order it again! The beef stroganoff special also looked delicious. Service was friendly, and the views of the mountains from inside the restaurant were beautiful! They also had a great local beer selection. We grabbed the blueberry pie to go, and it came with ice cream, so good. We would definitely come back during a future stay in Jasper!

Loved its dog friendly outside. Had a side Caesar and like that it comes with bacon, but the bacon was so chewy that it wasn't so good. The veggie soup was different as it was made of ground up corn mostly with a tomato base and the wings looked good. My husband liked them. They were out of the hazy IPA. Service was good as well.

On their menu, they have an amazing tomato soup/grilled cheese and falafel wrap that were SO good. I just wanted to recognize the service though. We were taken care of by the staff so nicely. They fit us in when we were late to our reso (had a sick Dog on our way to Jasper) and they were so attentive! I loved how they recommended different wines and liquor, as well as had a thorough knowledge of the menu. I really hope they see this and know that it was appreciated! Something special they did was bring out a birthday cake for my girlfriend. It was thoughtful and the server made the effort to make it gluten-free and vegan so she could eat it. So nice of them. It even had a little "Happy Birthday" note on it. I would 150% eat here again. If I stay at the JPL I really can't wait!

Seating inside it swank and comfy. Lots of configurations and a stellar window view of the lake is the spot to have. Service is cold but efficient. We had some questions about the menu and she went to get answers but didn't seem too excited to be asked. For dinner it's three tables of varying size so not crazy busy at 6pm mid week. The cheese plate was exceptional. Had a cider and the lavender mocktail was really fresh and delicious. The dinner menu wasn't a huge draw and we had hiked here from downtown. I'd come back on a return trip.

They were so good, we got another platter of wings x2 and fries to go. The tables are set far apart and our server wore a mask. The VLTs were divided by spit guards.

The Vacation Inn takes the top spot for these worst pizza I've had in my life! The crust is the heart of any good pie, and this stuff can't be passed off as pizza crust unless you have lost your sense of both taste and smell. It's bread that is flavored like the box it comes in. I've made better tasting pizza dough at home using quick rise yeast & bread flower for goodness sake. Over the pathetic crust, was a thin layer of toppings & next to no cheese which only helped to bring out the bitter cardboard crust flavor. Gag. Couldn't' even get one full piece down before both my wife & I tossed the rest in the trash. Might be one thing if this was an inexpensive pie, but each pizza was $25. So $50 bucks for bread flavored like cardboard. Gag again. If you want to sample the worst pizza you have likely ever had, give the Vacation Inn's pie a go - you won't be disappointed. It will make you appreciate any other pizza afterward.
