    This was hands-down the worst meal my husband and I had on our entire trip to Canada. We dined here since we were staying at the lodge. They insisted we have a reservation, and when we showed up, the restaurant was completely empty. I'm not sure why the reservation was necessary but oh well. The view is stunning as it overlooks pyramid lake - which was the only positive this restaurant had going for it. Our server was kind but aloof. We decided to try a variety of their smaller plates since they sounded interesting. We started with their house rye brioche and shareable land and sea board. The brioche was probably the best part of the entire meal, and it's bread, so that isn't saying a lot. The land and sea board had some of the most bizarre and off-putting flavors I have ever tried in my life ... pickled grapes, and overly salty cured salmon. We hoped it was just a poor pick on our part and moved on to the cauliflower goat cheese gratin and charred beets. The goat cheese gratin was bland and lacked any real texture or flavor. The charred beets were cold and uncooked. As a final attempt at redemption, we ordered the Kennebec dumplings. I have NEVER been served raw dumplings before in my life and when I say that they are repulsive, they are repulsive. We brought this to the attention of our waitress and rather than apologize or offer something instead ... or even to remake them, she shrugged. And then charged us for them! Perhaps it was an off night ... but this meal was so bad, it was comical. We went back to our room and drank a bottle of wine to forget the whole experience.

    At the roadside a few meters from the resort.

    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!

    Parking lot right across from this place as street parking is super limited…read more Only 10% full Thursday at 8:30pm. Waiter was attentive and checked in multiple times and having a pitcher of water was nice so we didn't have to bother him so much. He did tell us that as we were paying that if we write a Google review you get a free drink (sangria or juice I think he said) on your Next visit. Tried the: Potato Gratin: 9/10, really grainy but could tell they used a lot of real cheese. Potato was perfectly cooked and I loved that there was lots of sauce. Very pretty presentation. Orange chicken: 8.5/10, chicken as super tasty but just too much ginger for me in the sauce. Rice was very very bland. Spiralized diakon/parsnip was a great light vegetable that Looked like raw onion but thankfully wasn't. Loved it. Drink, The Opener: 10/10. Size appears small but by the end of it I was done with it. Wow taste though. Boyfriend said you can taste the rum but I got more banana and minty. 100% would get again. Got pretty strong by the end but really liked the flavor combo And the color.

    We stopped here for lunch after our hike in maligne lake! We couldn't find this restaurant on Yelp!…read moreWe just walked around town and found it! So glad we stopped here for lunch! Service was amazing and the food was delicious! I had the Shanghai noodles with beef! My friend had the Lamb shank! The noodles were just a little salty but had great flavor! The Lamb shank was cooked to perfection, very tender! It was a very pleasant stop for us!

Kinda like a theme rock or something of the sorts but it was definitely not. It was actually very nice inside, casual dining with a very fun menu. I wish I was hungry enough to try everything. Everything on the menu sounded so good and interesting. Even their drinks. The cocktails all sounded so good. We tried one of them and it was dangerous. I'd love to come back to try more!

The ambiance was nicer than expected given the name, it was comfortable and modern but lacked any charm. The drinks were a highlight, we all enjoyed our cocktails and mocktails. The server was also very attentive and communicative. The only item we really enjoyed was the goat cheese poutine. That was delicious. The entrees were boring. Two of my party got the blackened salmon special with rice, vegetables and curry aioli. They expected a flavorful experience but got white rice, steamed vegetables and barely seasoned salmon with a small side of flavored mayo. It was cooked well but just not very tasty. I got one of the staff favorites, the bison meatloaf, which was also pretty bland. The meals were served like a convention center banquet meal instead of saucy, flavorful and fun.
