We went for dinner yesterday and had such a great experience! There was an amazing selection of cocktails to choose from, and our server, Melissa, was incredibly helpful. She made fantastic recommendations. She suggested the hot lobster artichoke dip, and it was to die for! It was so refreshing to receive such attentive, friendly service. I honestly can't remember the last time we had service this good anywhere. We'll definitely be coming back and we'll be asking to sit in Melissa's section! read more

Unfortunately they took the hot dave nachos off the menu so disappointed! We tried the donair nachos they were great we added hot sauce since it's sweet from the donair sauce. Added extra meat and they added a lot. Our server was a doll so sweet. Bartender would deliver our drinks and he was amazing as well. We went yesterday for lunch. It's always clean as always. read more

Had an amazing experience here! Fish & Chips were so tasty. Had a cup of chowder instead of the chips. The chowder is so yummy!!!! I will definitely be ordering it again. My server (Haleigh) also recommended the house lager which was so smooth and crisp. She brought me three different tasters but I had to agree with her on the house lager. Really nice. It's pretty open inside with plenty of seating with a pub feel. They feature daily specials which is nice. Music wasn't too loud and pleasant. Great food, great service, I will definitely be back and highly recommend! read more

The donair poutine was a tasty surprise, although there was a bit too much sauce and too sweet. I would have preferred a bit of spice and/or salt to balance the flavour profile. Local beers were good and service was friendly and efficient. read more

The food was not great but the service was worse. I made a reservation for a birthday dinner, and when we arrived, I provided my name and the hostess showed up to our table. Except, she walked us to a booth-type seating and walked away without saying. We had a table for 8 and the booth couldn't seat that many. I looked around for another staff to ask where our table was and was shown to a row of tables that had backless seating. We waited for our server to arrive and were provided with menus. She finally arrived and took our order. I ordered the lobster rolls after trying them at Taste of Edmonton. The rolls were good, but the fries were cold and hard. The garlic fingers were just ok, and not something I would order again. They had some specials that day, including garlic fingers, but the bill didn't reflect the discounted price. This is not a place to have a conversation as the music tends to be loud. Lobster rolls won't be enough to bring me back here. read more

If you're craving East Coast comfort food in the heart of the city, Blowers & Grafton is the spot. I've tried a few dishes here and every single one hit the mark. The chowder is rich, creamy, and loaded with flavor--like a hug in a bowl. Perfectly seasoned and packed with seafood, it's the kind of dish that makes you slow down and savor. The fish and chips are a standout: crispy golden batter, flaky fish, and fries that are just the right kind of salty. It's nostalgic and satisfying, like the kind you'd get seaside back home. The Fisherman's Feast is exactly what it sounds like--an indulgent spread of East Coast classics. If you're hungry and want to try a bit of everything, this is the way to go. And the lobster roll? Fresh, buttery, and generous with the lobster. Served on a toasted bun with just the right amount of seasoning--it's easily one of the best I've had outside the Maritimes. Service was friendly, the vibe was laid-back, and the food brought back memories of summers by the ocean. Highly recommend! read more

The haddock was delicious with a crispy batter. Fries were tasty and well seasoned. Could have had a bigger portion of haddock in the fish taco that was our only con. Service was one of the best and food came out in a timely fashion. read more

Came for dinner and it was about 20 min or so before the Hali-hour specials started. No worries though since most of our party ordered the mini lobster rolls! I waited until 9pm and then ordered my 3 tacos for $4. :) Excellent portion size! read more

Great food and restaurant. Took the family out for dinner and I had the donair and the rest of the family had the fish and chips. Everything tasted great and the service was good as well. One of the kids spilt water all over the table and a server promptly gave us extra napkins. Would go again read more

Went for an early dinner before the movie. We didn't have a reservation but there were some tables that were reserved for 7 and they said as long as we got out before then we could sit there. We had no problem with that as our movie was at 6:30. So we were seated fairly quickly. The place wasn't super full but it was busy. This was a lot better of an atmosphere for my personal liking when compared to their Whyte Ave location. It's obviously more spacious and as such it didn't feel like we were jammed up against another table (not that we were at the other location). The server was very friendly and came and visited us enough that it didn't feel like we were ignored but also not too much that we were bothered by her stopping by. She refreshed our drinks a few times, offered some suggestions as some members of our party didn't really know what they wanted. Overall she delivered great service. Unfortunately I didn't catch her name. The rest of the servers in the area and the host's booth at the front also had very friendly vibes about them. We ordered some fish tacos as it was still happy hour and they were larger than I had expected (they weren't stuffed too full but enough that it felt like a good appetizer/snack - pictures not included for this, too hungry forgot to take pictures). I ended up getting the Atlantic seafood chowder bowl with the ultimate upgrade. It was a good chowder but not necessarily worth the upgrade in my opinion. It seemed like the upgrade didn't add much aside from a "garlic bread" and some bacon bits and a mussel or two. I don't knock the dish it just didn't feel much like an ultimate upgrade worth $8. The bread was very soft and good for dipping if that's your jam. My wife got the fish and chips with an upgrade from chips (fries) to poutine. The curds were good, the gravy was hot but on the salty side, so much so that we didn't end up finishing it. The fish really hit the spot for what my wife was craving. All in all I would still give this a 5 star review because the small things here and there didn't really detract from the food and atmosphere that we experienced. Mind you this was early on a Saturday night so it wasn't too crazy. By the time we left just after 6:15 it was starting to fill. Just keep that in mind as your results may vary. read more

I love that we have such an awesome restaurant close by in Windermere! Blowers and Grafton is my favorite in the Windermere complex, both for dining in and take out. The menu is "Halifax street food" with fish as the specialty. Every time I've eaten here the food has been great. Some of my favorites are the chicken club wrap, the fish and chips, fish tacos and the donair. If you're looking for a pizza, the pizza here is good too, with a soft, chewy crust. Staff service has always been good, and there's a fun casual atmosphere in the restaurant. I love their patio, even though it's on a parking lot they've designed it with greenery and wooden screens so you don't feel like you're in a suburban area. read more

Food was super yummy recommend the donair nachos! Service was good but was a bit disappointed that our waitress went off shift without saying she was leaving read more

Came here for a girls evening out with friends. It was very busy when we came but thankfully we got a table very quickly. The server was good at first but then disappeared for a long long time when we wanted our bill to go home. The food here is really delicious. I had the mussels and they were so so good!! I also had a beer to go with the mussels and it paired perfectly. I would definitely come back to this spot again as their menu is really fantastic and lots of fun things to explore on the menu. Oh and don't forget to try their donair Cesar's!! They have a full stick of donair meat on a skewer in the cesar and it's so delicious. The donair meat here is crispy so it's a little different than your average but it's so so good! read more

Met up with a couple work buddies today at Blowers and Grafton in Windermere around 1:45pm and arrived before others. Wasn't very busy. There were many open tables although we had to wait for a table for 15min which I thought was very unusual. Ordered a beer on tap but of course, not available. Why? Servers didn't bring a drink menu, another odd thing so had to guess what they had. Finally got a table and sat down. Ordered food and another round of drinks. Food came by another server and no cutlery with it. Seriously?? Not impressed at all. Waited around for a few minutes before our server got us cutlery. Food was okay, nothing to jump up and down over. Had the Halifax donair which tasted like any donair shop in Edmonton minus the lettuce. This establishment would definitely be my 3rd choice of going to a bar to meet up with friends. Such a disappointment read more

Want some really great food? Go to Blowers & Grafton! I had the fish & chips meal and hubby who doesn't like fish, had pizza. I have attached photos, the fish is beer battered and it's light batter, so crispy but not heavy or greasy. Also, the size of fish you get is truly FISH with a bit of batter, not the usual heavy hard batter that you have to scrape off. Great portions! Hubby loved his pizza, could not finish it all in one sitting. The fries were a bit on the salty side, but they were so good I couldn't help eating them, so addictive. The tartar sauce is homemade, and whatever is in it, omg - so good. Atmosphere wise, it's got the music and noise, and I would have given this place 5 stars but the service, while efficient - was pretty cold and distant until 'tip time' which I always hate when servers do. Give it a try! :) read more

Excellent East Coast food. Great donairs. Tried the deep fried pickles, which were also excellent. Good variety of food and beverages. Highly recommended! read more

I'm not really blown away by the food here. The fried pepperoni and donair poutine were good, but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way for them. The fish and chips was just okay. Service was strange. Our server was friendly enough but couldn't answer any questions about the beer at all. She just said "I don't drink beer, so I really don't know". Didn't offer to find the answers or ask one of her coworkers, just said she didn't know and left it at that. For a place offering so many beers, I would expect the staff to have even a base knowledge... like light vs dark. Anyway - The ambiance is great, it's a very comfortable place to hang out. And I love the concept. And if we hadn't asked a question about beer, I probably would have thought the service was great. I'll come back if i'm with other people who want to go, but it probably won't be my first choice. read more

I loved this place. The food was fantastic, the service was on point and the overall atmosphere was fun and relaxed. I spent a great evening there with close friends enjoying the great food and service. The wait staff was very helpful and attentive. I loved the Doner Kabob. it was the best I've had outside of Germany. We shared our food and everything I tried was excellent. Great spot and I'll be back next time I'm in town. read more

Good food and ambience. Try not to go during busy hours since service can be a little slow during peak time.

We arrived at Blowers & Grafton's new southwest location at 11:30 am. That meant that we had coffee rather than drinks and this is clearly a place for a beer. Our first surprise was that we were asked if we had reservations. I haven't heard that question from a café since Covid-19 arrived. Despite not having reservations we were immediately seated. I ordered the Chicken Caesar Waterfront Grilled Wrap for $17.00. My guest had the Atlantic Seafood Chowder for $16.50 + $2.50 for the bun. Two coffees were $7.00. The prices were a bit high but just a little. Fortunately after we each had our first bites we quickly forgot about the prices. My wrap was tasty and the chicken was tender. It wasn't the least bit messy. Basically I couldn't have asked for anything better. My guest enjoyed her chowder immensely. The coffee was good - not coffee shop good - but this isn't a coffee shop. They had the noise well under control so we could talk but it wasn't silent either. All in all it was a very satisfying dining experience. Service was good and they followed all the Covid-19 protocols. The people ahead of us seemed to be surprised about the need for the covid passport so they stood to the side punching away on their phones to get their QR code. I'll certainly return here but next time I'll try to come later so that I can sample whatever they have on tap. This restaurant started in Halifax and slowly spread west. You can dine like a Haligonian without even leaving Edmonton. read more

Went there on Sunday....place was not busy, barely 1/4 of tables occupied, plenty of staff (but they seemed more interested in each other).....but still took 25 minutes to get our drinks. We ordered the on tap beer....came more like cool than cold, like when you when you drink a can of beer when its been in the fridge for only 15 minutes....even the glass was room temp. Then there are the prices. A tallboy of a craft beer for $12!!!!!!! The food selection and pricing was even worse. We decided that there was no way we were going to pay fine dining prices for pub food and not really that interesting pub food as well. read more

we just had a meal at blowers the server was very nice the food was great had fish and chip after the meal our server Amelia asked us where you from etc we told her we are evacuees from jasper , instantly she contacted her manager and came back saying you don't pay for the meal , unbelievable, never expected that it's such a good feeling that people do care. again thank you Amelia you are a great server Bert and Maria Jasperites in edmonton read more

I gave them 5 stars and yet I've never been there. However, I gave a gift certificate at Christmas after reading many positive reviews online. When the folks I gifted it to opened it at Christmas they said they really liked this place as did a couple other people that were there. After they used it they both raves about the food and they enjoyed their restaurant experience. And the topper! The kicker! I was the happy recipient of a small sample of the fish and chips and it was GoooooOOood!! read more

Fun & different street food fare - good atmosphere & entertainment for a quick bite and drink.

We finally ate here today after saying "let's try it" since it opened and we were happy we did! I had the fish tacos with a side of clam chowder. My husband had the fish and chips with a side of poutine. It wasn't too busy since it was mid day on a Friday, so service was great and food was tasty. Next time we want seafood, we will come here and try something else! read more

My birthday celebration at B&G with my wife and 2 sisters at 6pm Sunday. Seated immediately as there were only about 5 other tables occupied. Our server was at our table in a few minutes and took drink orders. I had the hot shrimp Caesar which turned out to be quite good. My wife had the scallops with chowder. One sister ordered lobster rolls the other sister ordered fish and chips and I had the "loaded bowl" mac and cheese. It took about 35 minutes for our orders to arrive quite long for a room that was not busy. The chowder was basically tasteless. The six small size scallops at market price lacked flavour likely due to being in the freezer a long time. The lobster rolls were mainly shredded lettuce with a few small chunks of lobster. Fish and chips were ok but how can you go wrong with F&C? My lobster mac and cheese was absolutely disgusting. There was no sauce. The cheese was bland and crusty in some parts. The lobster? What lobster!!?? They should have said BYOL bring your own lobster because there were only a few small pieces that I could see. $29.00 for this which was 95% small elbow macaroni and 3% cheese. I wouldn't pay 99c for this. I spoke with the manager about this and he apologised a few times and walked away. He didn't even attempt to comp my birthday meal. If this is the kind of food they serve in Halifax I wouldn't bother going there. Huge huge disappointment and they are now on our black list of restaurants never to visit! Shame on you B&G!! read more

Nothing to complain about, I love the OG CEASERS WITH DONAIR SKEWER N sweet sauce even if you don't drink alcohol, it's a must to try. Probably one of the best ceasers in Edmonton read more

My wife and I had made reservations online for the restaurant with expectations of having the lobster and steak Valentines Supper. When we arrived the hostess asked if we also had reservations for the "event" as well. We asked what that was. She very rudely ...in a condescending manner said " You don't have tickets for the event." and said that they were totally sold out. No apologies or options were given. except more rude tones. We found another spot and are enjoying a bottle of wine and delicious meal Sorry one bad hostess attitude cost future bu$ine$$. Blowers and Grafton in Windermere. read more

Loved the variety in fisherman's feast. Mini lobster rolls were amazing. Great food! Priced well. Would definitely recommend. I know some people are saying it's a tad pricey. Which is probably so. However, I've heard the rent in the "currents of windermere" is absolutely insane so I can't fault them for being a tad high on the price what so ever. read more

My wife and I and I went out for our first anniversary, back in Edmonton from Phoenix since we got married. It's our one year anniversary. We were met with a quiet restaurant and lounge at 4:30, but the traffic constantly increased. Our hostess was Gina, on our server was Taylor. We shared some classic poutine, drank some wine and beer, ordered seafood chowder, and shrimp and scallops and a shrimp po'boy. The service was excellent, the food was top drawer, and the prices reasonable. Think original Joe was an ad 5%. That's only my perception. Thank you gina, taylor, and blowers and grafton. We will be back soon. read more

Was at the Sherwood Park location for lunch with a girlfriend and ordered a "Daves hot chicken pizza" to share - the pizza was undercooked and lacked spice - couldn't even taste the hot sauce. More than that, it was visually undercooked and should have been obvious to the waitress who said nothing. We also shared a salad (Heritage blueberry salad). We picked out a decent size stack of hard stems from the salad (were not edible) and had them on our napkins- was sure the waitress would comment but didn't. This was probably one of the worst restaurant salads I have ever had. Our 2nd visit was for fish and chips - long wait, fish was cold, fries were soggy. Super disappointed in the experience. Wouldn't rush to go again. read more
