What an experience. I was in Calgary for a conference and the host organization took the group to…read moreComery Block. Now the group walked to the location in downtown Calgary and got caught in a rain storm. At this point, I am thinking this has to be an amazing place or I shall look for a hot chicken sandwich. Upon arrival, we were quickly shown to the patio, I assumed it was for us but concerned about the very recent rain storm that happened 2 minutes ago. The patio was covered and the sun returned. It was sunny and the area had picnic - style benches and chairs, the staff was warm and engaging. From the top: chicken wings with some is the best rubs I have ever had with a neat smoked flavor - I could have eaten them all night long. The watermelon- basil salad was delicious and refreshing, perfect for the meal, so refreshing it could replace table water and a hint of basaltic vinegar. The potato salad was ordinary and surprisingly not that flavorful given the other dishes brought to the table. The green beans with fried onions were ordinary as well and could take a pass on. I am not a pork eater, but decided to take a sample of the smoked poke belly. The flavor was amazing, smoked with a maple flavor and bold seasoning, and the squares were meaty. I spoke with someone from South Carolina and he told me these pieces are normally crunchy. If I decided to go back to eating pork, this is the road I will take. The turkey was heavenly. Normally, this a meat that is dry and often not as flavorful, but they managed to prepare it to a point of true excellence. I had to be reminded that there was dessert coming so I stopped eating turkey. Now, pecan pie is a southern staple. Bite size pecan pies arrived on the table . So here is the thing about pecan pie. This southern delight is moist, with a crust to fall in love with and a topping filled with pecans with a bit of a crunch. The filling is a delight and takes a true southerner to get it right . On that note, pass, pass, pass on the bite size pecan pies. It was like eating a dusty little pie that falls apart just by looking at it. All-in all, if you are in Calgary, don't miss this place and stay for the wings.

This review is for March 2025…read more We flew in late on Thursday, so we were looking for a bite to eat. Quite a few places online stated that they were open late, but we were turned away by a number of places as they ended up closing earlier. Thankfully, one of them pointed us to Comery, one of the fews spots open past midnight. For a late night bite, it hit the spot! Meats are half off after 10pm.The three of us got: - $9 mango wheat - $9 cherry sour - $9.5 1/2 lb brisket (discounted at this time): tender and bombbb. There's an array of housemade BBQ sauces at every table. my fave is the spicy one - $18 wings dry rub: not very memorable but still good - $7 coleslaw: refreshing - $7 spicy fries: not bad Service was a little slow at this time. Took awhile for someone to notice we were waiting. It's dimly lit but the way the tables are set up allows for easy socializing. I would come back!

The Banchan/side dishes were enjoyable. Marinated soft boiled egg, cabbage salad, pickled cucumbers, tofu (delicious), kimchi, and pickled radish. Had 8 different cuts of meat and found the galbi, bulgogi and skirt steak to be tasty. Didn't enjoy the pork belly, but I rarely do, and found the spicy pork to be bland. Beef soup was delicious as was the egg casserole. Cheesy corn tasted a lot like canned corn. Wings were cooked perfectly and wished they had more of a kick. They were supposed to be sweet and spicy but I found them too sweet. Complimentary Mango crushed ice was inventively playful and a joy to eat.

They have a few sides including mac and cheese, collard greens, coleslaw, and potato salad. Had the brisket sandwich ($10) which included a massive portion of meat with pickles and onions. Four sauce options to choose from; I had the Texas hot BBQ sauce and the spicy mustard and they were excellent. The meat was smoked perfectly and tender. Fresh poppyseed bun. Love the pickles on the sandwich. Sides are $4. I had the mac and cheese and it was a pretty hefty portion. All in all a great southern style BBQ place that's easy on the wallet. Kudos to the guys at the truck for very fast service. Slow service speed seems to plague Calgary food trucks. Not this place! Check it out. They take credit/debit.

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.

After browsing on my own, I found my dad but my mom was no-where to be seen. Shortly after, we discovered that she walked down the street to BBQ Express - I didn't even know this place existed and apparently my mom, who hardly ever comes to Calgary knew it existed - she must have had those BBQ duck senses.. Anyways, they are right next to a Vietnamese place and there's a parking lot available. It is exactly what their name is "Bbq express" - they offer BBQ Pork, BBQ Duck, Soya Chicken, Sausage, BBQ ribs, and even Roasted pig's head if you order in advance. When you enter, it smells amazing - delicious Chinese BBQ aroma. You can see all the meats through a glass shield where they are hanging. They only do takeout and only take cash. My mom had ordered half BBQ duck and a pound and a half of BBQ pork. You can select which hanging meat you want to be cut from. The duck is chopped into small pieces and I'm not sure if they cut the BBQ pork but we did ask for it to be cut as well, they also pour some sauce on the BBQ pork. Both orders filled a decent size styrofoam container and you are given a bag of soya sauce, duck sauce and some packets of plum sauce. When we got home, we put on a pot of rice and cooked up some vegetables to go with our protein. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM fresh rice with BBQ duck and pork is one of my favorite combos!! I especially love duck with plum sauce, DROOOLLLLL. The BBQ duck was really good...tender and fatty with a slight crisp on the skin, the BBQ pork was good too, a little tougher but still really tasty, the fatty parts are the best. BBQ Express is a really great place - if you want some reasonably priced delicious Chinese BBQ meats, this is the place to hit up! What a gem of a place if you need to pick up something to bring to a pot luck or if you want to pick up something for lunch/dinner that is quick and tasty. They offer a lunch box special until 3pm(?) which is any two meats with rice, duck is an additional cost because it's so darn good. They are open every day from 10am - 7PM except they are closed on Tuesdays. I can't stop thinking about the BBQ meats here, must go ASAP!!!!

**Fantastic food, vibrant atmosphere, and very family-friendly!**…read more Stopped by here with my daughter after a full-day dance class because we needed a BBQ spot near T&T Supermarket. We've never been to a Chinese skewer place like this (even in California!), but we absolutely loved it. **What we ordered:** Kalbi, beef skewers, bacon and mushroom skewers, whole grilled squid, and Korean-style jajangmyeon. The portions were great--we had plenty of leftovers. The skewers are heavily seasoned with authentic Chinese spices (like ziran/cumin) and are inherently spicy. I had no problem handling the heat and thought they were incredible. My daughter couldn't handle the spice level, so we ordered a second round of non-spicy skewers. She completely polished them off, which was incredibly satisfying to see! Great service, lively vibe, and excellent food. I would definitely return--next time just my wife and me, so we can go all-in on the spicy menu!

Family came here to celebrate Father's day with my dad. Never been but my dad had read about it in…read morea magazine and wanted to try it and we're sure glad we did as it was pretty good. The restaurant itself is in a little nondescript strip mall with lots of parking. Inside it nice with lots of seating and the smell of food on the charcoal. I had made reservations previously and we were seated right away. The menu had lots of options with many having pictures. We ordered Lamb, Beef tendon, Pork Belly, Chicken Leg, Chicken Gizzard, Chicken Hearts, Whole Squid, Oysters, and Eel. Everything was really good. Chicken Leg was moist. Everyone enjoyed the Gizzard and Oyster that we placed another order. The squid was not dry at all. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Staff were friendly although we did have to flag them down to place another order of some things or get more water. Will definitely come back and try other things on the menu.
