Our friends Brenda and Dean were such gracious hosts while we were in Calgary for the Christmas holiday and raved about the Chuckwagon Cafe as their favorite go-to breakfast spot, and no wonder this place was filled to capacity and very popular with the locals and surely we would have never known about it had it not been for our friends recommendation! While, yes off the beaten path, we strongly recommend Chuckwagon Cafe for either breakfast or lunch!, it's definately with the effort to make the trek out to the countryside. The portions were huge and prepared so very fresh, all four of us were completely pleased. Service couldn't have been better and my coffee never got cold nor was my cup ever empty! Next time we make it to Calgary, I can't wait to go back, and oh by the way be sure to leave room for pie, lots of fresh ones to choose from but we had the flapper, never having one before, I'd go back just for that! Never heard of it, well I'm not going to tell ya what is was just shared a picture with ya, so you gotta go and try it for yourself :-) Thanks for such a memorable meal Chuckwagon Staff! read more

Ate here had the ranchmans breakfast food is still great as always I would highly recommend this restaurant.

I made it to the Chuckwagon Cage here in Turner Valley, Alberta! Quick backstory...last year I discovered this Chuckwagon Cafe through TikTok. During my explorations of the Canadian Rockies, I posted a bunch of content around the area and TikTok kept suggesting this charming little mom and pop restaurant. And, lol, everyone knows when you become addicted on TikTok, you keep swiping up to view more and more videos and the Chuckwagon Cafe kept coming up and up and up! And finally, it was only fitting that I had to start following this restaurant. The person behind the scenes of this TikTok greatness is Susan, and her posts are funny and always have me smiling. So I thought...well, this year I'm returning to Calgary to do more exploring, why not actually visit the real Chuckwagon Cafe! And here I am, lol, it's like out of a storybook. I view Susan and the waitresses who join in on the TikTok fun as celebrities. They carry out the food and plates and are smiling and dancing. The mood is infectious and the posts are playful. I visited on a Saturday in mid June. It was actually on Father's Day weekend. They open at 8am daily and close at 2pm. Everyday till only 2pm is kind of early in my opinion, which only allows for 6 business hours. I arrived at 10am and there was a long line with a 45 minute wait. At least when I put my name down, they handed me a beeper that vibrates when there's an available table. Inside the restaurant, it's pretty small so I can understand when the crowds come, the waiting starts real fast. Since it was just myself eating, I agreed to sit at the bar stool section, which was fine by me because all of the TikTok's happen from the bar area. Here's where some disappointment set in...Susan doesn't work weekends! I wanted to introduce myself. I told her in the comments section of her recent TikTok that I was coming over the weekend and she hit the "like" button. She could have mentioned she wouldn't be there. Lol, I was hoping to create a TikTok post with her and the crew, hehehe. Oh well, I guess I had to exit the fantasy world I was living in. Anyhow, all the familiar waitresses were still around and the girl who served me was recognizable. I asked her when do they do the TikTok's, and she said only when Susan is there. Plus, they were so busy on this Saturday morning that there wasn't much time for small talk. Still, the waitress happily engaged with me and we had a few good laughs. As I reflect back on the visit and experience, I should have asked for a photo with the staff as a little keepsake for having driven 3000 miles across North America to arrive here. Instead, just too much happening and way too crowded. Chuckwagon Cafe is an old fashioned diner throwback in time. It's like you're sitting inside a cattle ranch saloon in the heart of the old west. It's that type of setting that is the trademark appearance of the restaurant, from my POV. Quick talk about the food... The portion sizes are huge. I took half my dish to eat for later on. Because portion sizes are tremendous, that means prices are elevated as well. I ordered "Scotty's Scramble" with eggs, ham, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms and cheese for $19.99. It came with my choice of sourdough toast and hashbrowns. The scramble was good and the hashbrowns were seasoned well. But for me I was starstruck, like a deer in headlights, lol. I was content just people watching and seeing what the staff and employees were doing. I actually think I lost my appetite because everything was happening so fast and I couldn't collect my thoughts. But with the joint being so packed and my seat valuable to other customers, it was just the wrong day and time to visit. And funny, when I look back on Susan's TikTok's, the place is usually empty. I would have been much better served stopping by midday during the week. Oh well, who knows, maybe I'll return someday. In the end, thank you Chuckwagon Cafe for having me regardless. It was still a surreal experience to be here. read more

My husband and I just happened to stumble across this place from our drive to Glacier from Banff. I ordered the blueberry pancakes and he ordered the steak and eggs. Both were absolutely delicious. We also had a wonderful waitress. I don't remember her name, but she was so nice we thought she was the owner. Come to find out, she was not but told us that she had been a waitress there for over 20 years. She was very nice and probably one of the best waitresses I've ever had. You must stop by this place. read more

Really friendly quiant little cafe/restaurant in Turner valley. Everything here looks delicious! All the plates I observed went back to the kitchen to join the clean plate club!

We are new to Turner Valley, we have been here a year. We take all our friends and family here when they visit. However, this last time was very disappointing. A change in the menu. No longer serving the Flat Iron eggs benedict. So I ordered the traditional ham Benedict, it was sliced sandwich meat ( really) . No back bacon. So expensive. Won't be back. read more

Giddy up partner! Yahoo! These is great bottles. The burger was awesome. The best of all was the beef barley soup. I have not had soup like this ever. Don't tell my wife but it is even better than hers! read more

The true test of any cafe is their pie, which I unfortunately didn't have room for after the lunch I ate at Chuckwagon Cafe yesterday. What filled me up instead was the Grown Up Grilled Cheese with home made fries. The grilled cheese is made with a blend of cheddar, monterey jack and mozzarella with shaved ham and grilled mushrooms. You see now why I was too full for pie? Oh my goodness! My lunch mates had similar meals, but with the beef barley soup, also warm, comforting and filling like the sandwich. The cafe is decorated with old Alberta photos and artefacts, complete with southern Alberta small town hospitality and service. I'll keep you posted on the pie. read more

This is maybe the most interesting restaurant I've ever been to. I spent the entire time just looking at all the tack and other horse related gear on the wall. The "decorations" could probably be cleaned more often but it was definitely cool to look at. The staff were all super nice and the food came out relatively quick. The plates were pretty massive and I was pretty happy to have chosen the smaller portion of the breakfast burrito. The potatoes were awesome and if I wasn't so full from the "small" burrito I would have wanted more. This place is apparently known for their Benedicts so if you are a fan you should check it out. read more

IF OVERCHARGED YOU WILL NOT GET YOUR MONEY BACK! Stopped in to order 3 burgers, large fries to go and paid for it, we went to a nearby park to eat and reviewed the receipt and saw it was 69.00 (they do not break the bill out just a total) we went back to ask about the high amount and they charged us for four burgers, they refused to give us our money back! They offered a burger, we said no, they offered pie and coffee and we said no, they finally offered a gift certificate, but like what the heck is that kind of way to run a business!!! So disappointing and I will definitely be telling everyone and then some what a shady restaurant this is I gave one star because you can't post without a rating read more

Today is Remembrance Day, where we take a moment to honor the veterens who fought for our freedom. Also today, its the first day of the Millarville Christmas fair. Prior to the fair, Kendra and I went to the Chuckwagon Cafe for breakfast in Turner Valley. It is easy to find -- just look for the big red barn on the side of the highway. It advertises right out front that they serve breakfast all day. As well, if you order beef, it is hormone free, local Alberta beef! Both of is ordered the same thing -- the Cody Scramble, which is an omellete with ham, cheese, onion and tomatoes. I asked for swiss cheese on mine. It also comes with toast and hash browns. The hash browns are real chunks of fried, seasoned potatoes. The ambiance is laid back and unpretentious. It is all wood inside, with an old fashioned decor, that gives this space a heritage feel. The food was delicious! It was like a home cooked meal. Now that I know this gem exists, I will be back! 12/30 read more

Heard this place is was on the Food Network show 'You gotta eat here!' Well, stopped by and had smoked salmon eggs benny. Friend had steak eggs benny. My smoked salmon benny was wayyyy too salty, but the steak eggs benny was sooo good. The slices of steaks was super tender. They serve the eggs benny not on english muffins but on 1/2 of a freshly baked croissant. I thought their breakfast potatoes/hash was not very good. Soggy. 3* for the super tender steak on the steak eggs benny and small town diner atmosphere. read more

cute little place, with lots of rustic charm. the lineup when we got there was LONG, but thankfully there were 2 seats at the counter that nobody wanted, so we were able to sit right away. Overheard the waitress telling people the wait was about 45 minutes. I had the house burger which came loaded with fried onions, bacon & cheese, and it was really good. service was friendly and fast, and even if we would have had to wait in line, it would have been worth it! read more

Seriously worth the drive from surrounding cities!! I was visiting my friend and she brought me here. The huevos rancheros is awesome!!! And, the menu options are plentiful, my friend had steak eggs Benny. The potatoes are real and perfectly seasoned. The eggs were cooked to just right and the flavor combinations are incredible!! If you can eat here do it. This place is definitely family friendly and good for friends but would not suggest for a date. It is very country western. Features horses and cowboy paintings and country music cds for sale. But, even if you don't like country you have to eat here! They have a wide variety of Bennie's but the steak is the best according to most people. But, I really suggest you have the Huevos Rancheros!! There is a large parking lot and the wait times were reasonable. Also, really appreciated that they had a good toast selection. read more

So much yes. I stayed in Calgary for a weekend with my hubs for our anniversary. We love to drive so the natural thing for us to do for breakfast was to take a drive, and see what we could find. My husband and I ended up in Turner Valley at Chuckwagon Cafe. The building itself is something to see! We were pretty distracted looking around, so it seemed like we stuck out like sore thumbs. We were welcomed warmly, and told that we would have a great experience. We sure as heck did! Husband got the Eggs Benny, and I got just a classic breakfast with eggs, meat, and toast. OH SO GOOD. I mean, breakfast is good any time, but Chuckwagon does it right! Coffee flowing, hot fresh food. Yup, we made a good choice here! read more

After spending a few hours wandering around the Millarville Fair we decided to hop over to Turner Valley for a lunch at the Chuckwagon Cafe. After a 20 minute wait we were seated inside the authentically charming, western themed restaurant. Three of us opted for breakfast items and my husband went for their specialty burger. The omelettes and pancakes were good but the burger was the absolute stand out. Apparently the cafe raises their own beef cattle so the farm-to-table concept is in evidence here. My husband has eaten his fair share of burgers and he said it was probably the best that he has ever eaten. The service we received was so-so and the restaurants limited hours are a definite drag. read more

This little barn is full of Alberta cowboy charm. It's a good ol' place where friends gather for some awesome food. The rustic décor, the down home feel, and the it's in a barn! Perfect southern charm! Everyone in here is incredibly friendly. We came in a group of ten, which steadily grew to twelve, then fourteen, and finally eighteen! Each time the waitress added a table until it felt like we took over half the restaurant. Needless to say, they were incredibly accommodating; just like the cowboy charm they were going for. The food is great too. I ordered the steak and eggs because what else can be more cowboy like than that? And it was delicious! The steak was cooked perfectly and lightly seasoned to go with the hash and eggs. My wife got the smoked hash and said it was wonderful. Out of everything our group got, the burger seemed to be the biggest hit. Next time I make it out this way, that'll be the on my plate. read more

This is probably the best place for breakfast in Turner Valley. Its homestyle cooking fresh ingredients and welcoming environment make it a favorite of mine and I consider it a second home. The staff here are Homey the decor is like something out of an old western movie. The portion sizes never disappoint and the home cooked meals, the endless supply of coffee, and fresh made daily pie make this a must-stop. If you're a regular, or if you are visiting from out of town this should be a point of interest on every guidebook book, and on every tour stop. read more

The first time I ate here, my family and I were passing through town on our way to do some snowshoeing. We had to fuel up for a day of energy burning and we thought that the Chuckwagon Cafe sounded like the way to do it. We were incredibly pleased with our flat iron bennies. The steak was tender, the eggs were medium and it was a nice twist to have it on a croissant. The hollandaise sauce was definitely made from scratch (meaning it was pure butter). Loved it! Another time we stopped in for burgers. These guys make their burgers taste amazing. It must be something to do with the fact that they raise their own beef. The meat is truly tasty. As soon as you bite into it just makes you go, "Mmmmm". Other than the tasty food, this is a casual hang out for city and farm folk. Nothing fancy...well, except the pies they make! Try strawberry and rhubarb - you'll think you floated away on a cloud! read more

Came here by suggestion from my aunt and yelp reviews. So good. I'll be back! We waited about 40 minutes for a table to open up (Saturday afternoon) but that was the only negative I experienced. The staff was pleasant and friendly, the decor and atmosphere had country charm and the food was delicious. I ordered the beef sandwich with fries, husband ordered chicken sandwich with seafood chowder. We split our meals in half and shared. Both were good but the chicken was the winner. Their homemade fries were also really good. I didn't have the chowder but he said it was amazing. Best part? Our bill was $32 for the both of us. read more

We went in for breaky cause we heard this place was on tv and were surprised because we had been there're before and were not impressed, well... Still not impressed, had the flat iron Bennie and it sucked , especially for 17 bucks , the steak was absolutely bland , not seasoned at all , the hollondaise was fresh but also bland, I also think that a croissant is a poor choice because it just becomes a soggy mess under all that , a bagel would stand up better. Eggs were small but cooked perfectly and the waitress was super friendly but what she was wearing was filthy, it was like she had been wearing those clothes to work for a week , it kinda put me off. All in all , definatley not worth the drive for the bland soggy mess we got served. read more

Had the flank steak Bennie, flank steak was precooked "well done", pre sliced and dry/hard in a beef "sauce". Preparation for the Saturday fair day crowds expected for brunch? Eggs cooked nicely in a nice hollandaise sauce Served on a croissant All above in a small bowl with potatoes on the side, tasty Problem was the sauce, the egg yolk, the juice from the steak and extra water from the poaching all made the croissant a soggy mess with no texture, as it was all in a bowl no where for the juices to go but into the croissant I suggest you order the breakfast flank steak with poached eggs and toast with a side of hollandaise and it would be nicer read more
