We placed our order for a soda and smoked old fashioned. The old fashioned was quite tasty but didn't taste smoked (like I've gotten at other places.) I do love the 1 big ball ice cube instead of crushed/cubed ice. For food we ordered brisket and pulled pork, cornbread, coleslaw, and mac and cheese. They brought everything over except the brisket. We started eating, waited a bit for the server again and informed her they didn't bring the brisket. She brought it right away. Everything was very good. Opted for pecan pie for dessert and it was a perfect finisher. Not sure about parking as we walked there but the area is nice, walkable, and lively. They have an outdoor front patio, an indoor back patio and the main dining area. Highly recommend a visit! Prices have trended up like everything else; our meal was approx $100.

There are lots of good drink options if you want beer and cocktails. We decided to try a platter so we could try different things. The Brisket had good flavour, but it was a bit dry. Pulled pork was a good portion, but dry and could use more seasoning. The sausage is probably my favorite and I recommend it. Beans were very good a along with the slaw. Overall it was an enjoyable meal.

It was a beautiful sunny day and I ended up on the covered end of the deck but I'm sure there will be days that that's the place to be. I had the cheeseburger, which was tasty and a great value. But I feel like it was missing something that would let me go to a 4 star rating. Home cut fires, locally source ingredients, or perhaps just dressed up a bit more. None the less, very good. Perhaps their smoked brisket or pork is where they shine, I'll have to go back.

Alert! Delicious donuts coming your way!…read more Check out the likes of these babies. My lovely friend and coworker Angie at Black Dog Ranch (check out her account for adorable dog photos) has a beautiful ranch south of the city and she led me to these donuts that are the talk of Black Diamond. Naturally I had to get my hands on some. Rules for ordering your Westwood Donuts: 1 They change up their flavours every week, so if a round appeals to you, jump on it! 2 You have to place your order on Wednesday before they sell out. Don't press the snooze on this. 3 There's only a short window on Saturday for pick-up (12-3PM on Saturdays). Once you've completed the steps above, you're on your way to donut heaven. RATING: 9/10 - Westwood: Donuts The dough is everything you want it to be--soft, fluffy and fresh. It makes a great base for the various donut creations. I had the pleasure of trying these flavours: Chocolate Fudge Filled: With rich chocolate custard and coated in cinnamon sugar. You can't go wrong here. Banana Cream Pie: This tasted exactly like it sounds. Fragrant banana custard with whip and bananas on top. If you did a blind taste test, it would be hard to differentiate this from the real pie. Nerds Glaze: Imagine a blue raspberry starburst. This one was sweet, tropical and sour. Lemon Glaze: Pound cake in donut form. I adored the natural lemon flavour! The Banana Cream Pie stole my heart, but they were all worth writing home about. I can't wait to have an excuse to try these glorious donuts again and check out Westwood's food and patio. Black Diamond here I come!

Summary: good food, friendly staff, nice location…read more We were looking for something a bit different within a reasonable drive of our hotel during a trip to Calgary. Found this place on yelp and decided to check it out. The location is in this nice walkable shopping center where we were able to pick up some other things for our trip. The staff was friendly and walked us through the menu and sides as it was a little slow when we got there. The food came out quick and was really good. I like, what we in the US call a "French dip", but in French speaking places seems to just be called a "beef dip". Their sign said it was the best beef dip in Calgary, and it was really good. The sides were also quite good. My kids got the kids meals and liked them as well. All in all a good spot.

Wow, just wow. Our first night in Banff was started off right. The food here was amazing, and the…read morestaff were excellent. After finishing the trip, I can confidently say this was our favorite place to eat. The portions were generous, even for a big eater like myself. We shared the Rotisserie Chicken Sandwich and the Bison Burger. I honestly don't know which one I enjoyed more. The BBQ sauce and Blueberry aioli were both an experience. And of course, with it being a distillery, the drinks were also a win. The drinks were just right, strong but delicious. I also became a fan of their IPA. As for seating, there's two stories and plenty of larger tables for big groups. I highly recommend this as necessary dining location during your trip to Banff. I would HIGHLY recommend

Unfortunately, our experience here was extremely disappointing. We had walked by a few times and…read morereally liked the atmosphere, so we were excited to make a reservation. We were seated upstairs on the balcony, which was a nice spot and had a great vibe. The service started off fine, but things quickly went downhill. It took over 20 minutes to receive our drinks after ordering. While bringing them out, our server accidentally spilled an iced tea all over the table and onto my white pants. Mistakes happen, but we were surprised that there was no apology, and the response felt very dismissive. Shortly after, while we were cleaning up, she came back and sprayed cleaner on the table but accidentally sprayed it onto me instead. Again, there was no acknowledgment or apology. A few minutes later, she brought out a replacement drink, but it was the wrong one. When we pointed it out, there was some confusion and we were initially told it was correct before another staff member came over and brought the right drink. Unfortunately, the food was also a letdown. The bison burgers were extremely dry, and the ribs were so tough and chewy that they were difficult to eat. We were really hoping the meal would make up for the service issues, but it left us disappointed. Given the issues, we expected the spilled drink would at least be removed from the bill. Instead, we noticed additional drink refills on our tab that we didn't order. Overall, it was a frustrating experience, especially because we had been looking forward to trying this place. Hopefully this was just an off night, but based on our visit, we wouldn't recommend it.
