While dropping off our father to the airport we want a nice place for dinner. After seeing the French onion soup on yelp we had to give it a try. We all went for the soup and were not disappointed. The phyllo pastry topping made for a unique dip in the delicious French onion soup. A little bit of cheese added to the very filling meal. My only compliant is that we ordered too much food. I had to try the nachos with pulled pork as well. The sassy waitress made the dinner complete with some witty banter. Bookmarked for future trips to Calgary. read more

Food looked awesome but was lacking flavour. I got the drums n mac but subbed the mac for fries. Drums were fried crispy and hot but the coating needed some salt and seasoning. The maple syrup was a nice touch but was the only flavour punch. It came with an apple Cole slaw that had absolutely no flavour! There were other veggies, corn on the cob and asparagus, that were equally boring in taste. Odd thing is while my chicken was piping hot, my fries were merely room temperature. Prices are very high for the quality and quantity of food. Not sure if I'll be back or not, still on the fence with this place. read more

4th Spot Kitchen & Bar - Drums n Mac minus the Mac! Never been a fan of Mac so I subbed for fries. - Canadian (New) Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

I've been coming here since it was reinvented. Formerly Caruso's, an excellent pizza place, 4th spot carries on the excellent pizza tradition. It has beautiful decor that is starting to see some wear, notedly the paint by the hostess station. Fortunately the chalkboard illustrations around the restaurant draw your eyes there. We had decent service but it was much slower and less attentive than I'm used to there. It was busy for sure (20 min wait for a table on a Saturday night isn't bad) but not busy enough to warrant the gaps in service. We were there to kick off Poutine Week so we checked out the three varieties and then asked our server if all of them go towards the Mealshare purpose of the Week. He didn't know anything about Poutine Week, even though its been published for weeks in magazines that it was happening. We got it sorted out though. He told us the Butchers Shoppe poutine was a big portion that was a good starter for us to share. False! This amazingly delicious poutine was humongous. With two very hungry people we still had a hard time finishing it. When the burger we ordered to share arrived, we laughed and asked for it to go. That poutine though, its delicious. Shaved beef, Spolumbos sausage, bacon, cheese, and BBQ sauce. The only thing it needs it more fries. The topping to fry ratio was a wee bit lacking. Still good though! I give 4 stars because I have had consistent good service there over the years and the food is stellar. If you're a pasta or mushroom lover, you need to try the Mushroom Ravioli. Warning, contains almonds and deliciousness. Avoid if you're allergic to either! read more

Good food and great daily specials! Food has been good everytime I eat there. They have daily specials and is really good value. A lot of local microbrews on tap, lots and new brews to try. It's a small location, but I like that adds to the character of place Highly Recommend it! read more

4th Spot Kitchen & Bar - Nachos and wings - Canadian (New) Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

My girlfriend and I were really excited to go to this spot and try the wings because we saw good reviews about it. To our disappointment we ended up biting into bloody undercooked chicken wings. After giving back these wings that could of made us sick the server over looked our issue and we barely got an apology. Even though we got a discount on our bill we thought this could have been handled better. We personally won't be going back and probably not the most ideal place to get wings read more

Visited on a Monday night and was surprised to find how busy the place was. They told us it would be a 20min walk and took down our name and number so that they could text us. If you plan to visit, know that this restaurant is on the No Wait App so you can put your name down in advance to save you some time if there is a wait. Hostess and servers were competent, but everyone was literally running around everywhere. Our server notified us that certain items would take longer to make, which we appreciated. I think they seemed understaffed, which obviously happens, but hopefully this was an off time and is not always the case. The only time our server kind of took the time to talk to us was when she tried to talk us up for a tip while we were paying lol. We were seated in the lounge near the bar which I would not recommend if you want to be able to hear whoever you are having dinner with.. It was way too loud! I could barely hear myself think. There were some people at the table next to us and a few individuals who were clearly way too drunk but the servers continued to take drink orders. I would just avoid the lounge area to not have to deal with this next time. We had the stuffed burger and the mac n cheese. The burger was great but when they asked me if I wanted chips with my burger, I was expecting fries chips, not.. Actual potato like lays chips. Maybe it was dumb of me to assume but now ya'll know. The mac n cheese was good, but nothing to write home about. I think the dish would look a lot more "restaurant-like" and a step on from KD's if they used better macaroni and not the plain ones that look like KDs. They have specials every day so I would be interested in checking this place out for some of those. I would also like to sit in the dining area next time to avoid drunk people walking into my chair every 5 minutes. Overall, I think this place is a 3.5 with it's overall service, atmosphere, and food. It's a friendly neighbourhood pub with decent food so you can't complain, but I would not drive across the city to eat here. read more

I love in the neighborhood and have been coming here for +5 years. It used to be one of my favourite spots. The last three times I came, all in the past year, have been ranging from terrible to acceptable at best. The food was on two occasion terrible. Then the food got better but servers are short and late. I'm leaving this one star in the hope it'll prompt improvement because honestly I used to love this place. read more

This is a cute little neighbourhood pub that is full of energy. Nice dining area, bright and roomy. Lots of street parking! Menu is decent with a flair for their burgers and pizza. Limited gluten free options. None for burgers but some for pizza. Staff is very friendly and makes for a great dining experience. read more

To the Poutine lovers out there you must come here and try the Chicken and Waffle attacking cheese before it's off the menu! It came out piping hot with ooyee gooyee cheese, gravy and maple syrup with chucks of waffles. The Poutine was so alive and stringy that the cheese flew and hit my boyfriends forehead smack in the middle. Then came the best part... Next time he lifted the fork and the fry with gravy flew to his forehead and stuck there... So if you what some crazy awesome great salty and sweet poutine ... com' on by because it will be a food story of a life time. Oh yeah the Virgin lime margarita with salt on the rim was a nice addition to the meal. It was a decent portion for two. read more

This is one of my go to family owned restaurants for comfort food. We took our friends to introduce them to this little gem. We shared the inferno prawns and Calamari - our friends loved! My husband and I probably gave our friends almost the entire menu of "what's good to eat here". As we left totally satisfied - our friends said this is THE place for us now. Oh let's not forget service - impeccable as always! read more

I don't recommend this restaurant at all. Me and my son got seated on ourselves and the server didn't get our food served on the table after 35 minutes. The appetizers and lunch came on the table at once. The restaurant isn't super busy at all in the Saturday afternoon and the server didn't apologize for all delays. It's very disappointed stay. The manager and sever were tried to avoid the eye contact. The Vitamin Sea salad wasn't fresh at all. read more

Not good during any of my visits here. The food is over priced for really poor quality execution. French onion soup with an underbaked pastry top, not well seasoned and almost not existent onion flavour or garnish. Pizzas where underwhelming, sandwiches were poor and service was completely ineffectual. I want to support local independent business and may try them once more if I'm ever in the area and friends or family want to eat there again but it really won't be my first choice. read more

We went mid afternoon so it wasn't too busy & we didn't have to wait for a table. Interior is nice, with a variety of seating options. We had delicious burgers, & upgraded the fries to poutine. Service was excellent, friendly & fast. One burger was missing cheese, but they were quick to remedy the error. read more

I love the aesthetic of the place. It was a bit of a wait to receive my food, but it was worth it, because it was one tasty carbonara!

4th Spot is in a great location with plenty of parking, and the ambience is relaxed. I felt myself going back and forth with this review. I don't get it, Calgary. It seemed like with 3 servers relaying (with roughly 10 guests per server for the group), the service would actually be somewhat decent. However, it took my friend and I half an hour to get a menu, 20 minutes to get a glass of wine, and over an hour before her salad showed up. The server that gave us our drinks, didn't even bother to stop and ask if we were ready to order, he just booked it across the room. Is there someone outside in a giant barrel, stomping grapes with their bare feet? Is someone harvesting romaine lettuce by hand, in the rain? Why are so many of Calgary's restaurants completely and utterly unprepared to handle large groups? Large groups make reservations, so you know well ahead of time that you're going to be serving X amount of people; yet you still act like your mother-in-law randomly showed up on your front porch with a suitcase to stay for a week, so you ran upstairs and shit the bed. Thankfully, the birthday guy seemed to be well attended to, which is the important thing (and which kept your stars from turning brown), but when the food finally arrived... blargh. We wolfed it down because the wait was making us hangry, and if it wasn't for the Tic Tacs in my purse, my friend would've started nomming on the upholstery. Now, the sweet potato fries here are decent. And so is the house made hot sauce, although I wish it had come out at the same time my dipping cup of ketchup came out. By the time the ketchup came out, there were 3 fries left on the plate. Three. That's a rounded tablespoon of ketchup for every lukewarm fry. The gluten-free crust for the pizza... yeah. It was way undercooked. It tasted like I had put sugar-free ketchup on white bread. I know how that tastes, because I was a stoner in high school. I do appreciate that gluten-free things on the menu exist though, since the birthday guy legit has Celiac disease, and this restaurant is close to where he lives. Maybe, I would've appreciated it more, if I hadn't had amazing vegan, gluten-free pizza 2 days prior. But this pizza was like a bear in a tutu following the Beatles. I know delicious gluten-free crust is possible. This could've been more if it had more time in the oven. And it should've had all the time in the world, because it took over an hour to arrive. Still, while I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this place again, if invited, I'd probably give them another go. Like I said, I do really appreciate that they have gluten-free options available, and the servers seemed like they would be a lot nicer if they weren't so overwhelmed. I'd probably decline an invitation where there were 30 guests again, but maybe with a couple of pals. read more

Yep...what everyone else said. They screwed up my order but still got 5 stars. This is one of those places that is hard to order from cuz everything sounds so damn good. I had the French onion soup to start and it was topped with this crazy phyllo crust that turned out quite good. Steak sandwich was on special and it's a smaller filet that was perfectly cooked. The screw up I mentioned earlier was that I was brought the wrong sidedish (ordered poutine and was brought baked) then my replacement poutine never came. The reason they still get 5 stars is because they handled it perfectly by leaving the baked potatoes for the table to share then comping my steak sani from the bill. Exactly the right thing to do to bring me and my buddies back. Everyone else raved about the food and the place was packed....took us about 15-20 to get a table on Friday night 7:30, which isn't too shabby. Definitely a decent spot! read more

Since my last review I've been here several times. In 2 words THIS PLACE ROCKS - ok that was 3 but for a neighbourhood restaurant 4th Spot is truly incredible. Everything we've ever eaten here is fabulous & flavourful. We've been for pizza night on Monday's, dropped by on Tuesday to see live music & enjoy cheap pasta, delight in half price wings & 1/2 price bottles of wine on Wednesdays and of course made it in on Friday/Saturday to avoid cooking at home. Which means I still need to explore Thursdays and Sundays LOL. But what really stands out is the customer service received regularly and more specifically on a night we ordered takeout pizza. We said we'd be in at a particular time to pick it up (4 pizzas) and it was not ready when hubs/daughter arrived...in fact they forgot about it. Without even blinking an eye my daughter was given an ice tea (her fav drink treat) and big slice of ice cream cake. 20 minutes later the pizzas were ready to go and much to our surprise given to us Free Of Charge!!! Such incredible service, food, ambience and the wine glasses are fuller ;). It is also kid friendly! This place is a gem and Bill the owner, incredible guy who cares about his customers! read more

It was Stampede week, I'd been getting up at 4:30am every morning to volunteer with pancake breakfasts, and up until midnight every night showing my Australian friend around town. We were sitting around home, I was falling asleep on the couch, no ideas what to do for dinner, so long as it wasn't pancakes. Enter: Yelp. Can't exactly remember the criteria I used but it had to be within a certain distance of downtown, great reviews and somewhere with a variety of foods. 4th Spot totally fit this bill. Three of us went, we didn't partake in the drinks but we did each have different meals. We were all pleased with our selections. Service was great, and the decor/atmosphere was pretty neat. There was quite the selection of wine - would like to go back and try some! Review #23 of Yelp's 30 Day Challenge 2012 read more

I love, LOVE this place. Great good, casual atmosphere, reasonable price. I live near here and it's a nice treat when I don't feel like cooking. Their burgers are awesome, as are their tacos... And their wings... And well, pretty much everything else I've ever had here. The one downside is that it is ALWAYS busy here. I've had to leave a few times because the wait for tables was too long. Definitely worth checking out... And on Tuesdays they have live music too! read more

I really like 4th Spot. It's the place I send people when I'm not sure what they're food tastes are... or they're not too sure how far outside of their own comfort zone they're really willing to go. It's the safe zone of a neighbourhood restaurant except with food that I'm actually willing to say is good! Now, it's not your fancy pants restaurant with creative and artfully presented dishes, but it is a place with reall great burgers, pasta dishes to fill the most intense of carb cravings, pizzas that rest on tomato cans and plenty of other food and drink choices. And it's family-friendly. If you have friends who like a hearty meal, they won't leave hungry here. Also great weekday specials... and local beer! Not to mention a good wine selection too... you can enjoy the restaurant in the front or the lounge in the back. Or, in the very back, two private rooms you can book for functions and the likes. Food I love: - Maple canuck burger - Lady & the tramp spaghetti and meatballs - Vitamin sea - Mahalo pizza - Porkers pie pizza Note: Pizza can also be requested on a gluten free crust. Drawback: The acoustics in the washroom. You can hear everything from the conversation of the tables just outside the door! Although I don't know if they can hear everything too or if that's just a one way thing. I've also heard people say it can get pretty loud whenever they have live music playing and it can spoil any chance of conversation up in the lounge. Tip for 4th Spot: Right now your menu link on your website only goes to one page on your menu. read more

Super friendly service, good food--the pulled pork pizza was absolutely delicious--and a cozy ambiance add up to an experience just about anyone can enjoy. Their French onion soup is humongous and topped with puff pastry. Great casual cozy atmosphere welcomes families with young children--it gets noisy and crowded on a Friday evening, and even though they don't take reservations, the wait is worth it. There's parking in a lot (some covered) and on the street. read more

It's not often that I'd give a business five stars right off the bat, but I have not one issue with my first experience, which was last night with a group of friends. It was recommended by a few people in our group who had been here before and really enjoyed it. One of the girls raved about the yam fries. The reno work is excellent and I think it's a super cozy, casual, high energy environment. The place was busy and it was comfortably warm. I usually notice these things because I'm often cold and many places have cold air blasting on you from a vent somewhere. Being that winter has just struck, I was excited that the restaurant had good temperature regulation. It might sound silly, but it's the little things, you know? Our server was friendly and attentive. My spouse and I tried the calamari and dip, which was awesome. Others at our table tried the poutine as an appetizer and the portion was huge. For a main I tried the meatloaf and substituted the mashed potatoes for yam fries. Both were delicious and again, the portions were massive. The fresh vegetables were perfectly done for my taste. Not overcooked, leaving a tiny bit of crunch. I had enough leftovers for another meal. Grasshopper was on special for $5. Perfect. Prices are very reasonable. Our group sat there for three hours and not once were we asked about ordering more or pressured to leave. An added bonus is that there's lots of free parking in the area. I'd recommend 4th Spot to anyone and am interested in going on a night when they have live entertainment in the lounge. Yay for marvelous neighborhood restaurants! 19/30 for Yelp's 30 Day Challenge read more

My friend took me here yesterday for a post drinking recovery meal and I am glad I went. The place I gather is fairly new and shows on the inside , great decor , great atmosphere and a west facing patio for tons of sunshine during lunch and dinner service. I ordered the regular burger with cheese and bacon with a beer ( they have daily 5$ pint specials ) The burger came out in a reasonable amount of time ; about 20min. Presentation was nice , the burger came on a square bun with a pickle on top skewered by a steak knife and the fries in a basket. The burger it's self was delicious; a home made patty that was beautifully seasoned and moist. The bun was fresh and delicious and put together with the fillings made for one of the best burgers that i've had in reccent memory. The fries werent by any measure exceptional but I have no complaints - just fries. Price is on the higher side unfortunately. read more

This place will not disappoint, my associate and I decided to try the burgers. The Juicy Lucy and the Maple Canuck with Sweet Potato fries are off the chart, a MUST HAVE! If you are in Calgary, make over to this place and make sure you ask Alicia, she provides great service and makes you feel at home!! Great job, keep it up! read more

We came here on a Tuesday at 5:30. Parking is dicey. No wait at this time. I had the penne and it was pretty good. Great portions. My husband had the meatloaf and he said it was delicious. It's not cheap, the meatloaf was $20. Also, my husband ordered wild turkey and it was the smallest portion of wild turkey I've ever seen poured out / and it was $8! read more

My husband and I made last minute dinner plans with friends from Airdrie on Friday night as it was a good middle point. We arrived around 6:30 and there was a line (I'm sure that's normal!) We were told we would wait about 20 minutes...not too bad. Ended up only waiting about 7-10 minutes which was a nice bonus. The server was friendly and attentive. Good food, my husband and his friend enjoyed the good selection of beer. Will definitely be back! read more

This place was great and we had really excellent serivce. We did have to wait around twenty minutes and the line behind us kept getting longer! You could tell that this place was really popular. We tried the Statiion 7 burger with sweet potato fries (highly recommend the sweet potato fries!) as well as the homemade Mac and Cheese. Both dishes were excellent. The Mac and Cheese was to die for! Really great atmosphere and I wanted to try everything on the menu. You have to try out 4th Spot!! read more

The only bad thing I can say about this place is that there are so many amazing options on the menu that it's really hard to decide. Also, it's a busy place, so I've had to wait as long as 15 minutes before - not bad at all. Everything I've tried here has been really, really good. Burgers, tacos, steak sandwich, all awesome. The homemade hot sauce is good enough to steal a bottle (I haven't.... yet). They have a fairly extensive beer list, and the sides are interesting and delicious. I've had good service every time I've visited - not stellar service, but good. One unique experience I had here was two weeks ago, as we were finishing our meals, and the entire lounge area filled up with the unmistakable smell of pot. I looked around (as did all the other customers) to see who was passing a joint around. I guess someone was relaxing at the end of their shift just outside (or inside?) the back door, and the wind blew the stench right into the lounge? The whole incident brought an otherwise 5 star experience down to 4 stars, but hey, maybe some people like second hand weed smoke? read more

I love how this pub has a special going on essentially every night. Pasta Tuesdays are wicked!! Delicious pasta, HUGE portions for $11. I recommend The Everything But The Kitchen Sink pasta. Mac and cheese and stuffed pasta were also pretty good. Wing and Wine Wednesdays is a pretty sweet deal. The wings aren't phenomenal, but like I said, It's a sweet deal with the wine. If you like spicy, go straight for the tough guy, and skip the red mile. Really nice, clean pub with a good crowd. Excellent service! It's an awesome pub. Can't wait to try Pizza Mondays. read more

I'm a neighbor, I've been to this bar many times for years and years, and I won't ever go back. I'd rather eat mediocre food and enjoy my time with friends. Nope not worth it, anymore. 1. Great atmosphere, awesome decor and cozy patio. 2. Prices are ok. 3. Food is usually excellent or very good. Quality of meal is never an issue 4. Cocktails and beer selection is very good if not excellent. The service has and always sucks. The staff are young, and unfortunately focused on delivering food, but not clear on how to do that efficiently with warmth and care. Its like eating at earls, except the food is slower to come out and it costs more. Be ready for 60-90 minute waits for the food and clueless servers. Do not go if you are focused on service because you may starve to death or worse. and there is no manager to complain to. Just a bunch of kids with a kicksass menu. Not for my money.

We went to a local Stampede BBQ event on Sunday that was advertising the catering was being done by 4th Spot. Started at Noon, we showed up at 12:30. Around two dozen people were in line and it took about 20 minutes to get to the front. Not great, not bad. Imagine our surprise and disappointment when we picked up one of the few plates left and were served up... Two wieners. No buns. No condiments. Two wieners. Oh, there was a fellow hacking up a watermelon into random scraps if you wanted something extra... If that's what 4th Spot calls 'catering', then they need to do some research. I can just imagine what they serve in their restaurant. read more
