    Not worth the wait in my opinion. We put ourselves on the waitlist and waited an hour. It's great they have a digital waitlist system and we got there when we were 6th in line and they got us in right away so that was amazing service. I have no issues with the customer service at all. However, I was just shocked how lack luster the burger and super duper the fries were compared to the wait. I also have had my good share of burgers especially living in Orange County for a few years so my standards are quite high but I honestly thought lil empire burgers and their dirty fries were way better and no need to wait 1.5hours. The super duper fries I didn't love because the meat sauce was quite sweet. Nothing special about the smash burger and I don't like an over sesamed bun. I thought the bun to meat ratio was off. I need to be able to taste more of the meat.

    Found this place in its thousands of reviews on Google and the burgers + fries lived up to them. Tasty and unique burgers that stand out in downtown Calgary where there are hundreds more burger spots. The cool vibe of the interior and waiting area contribute to the dining experience for sure. Just be ready to wait, we were on the waitlist and it still took probably a total of 1 hour and 45 min from putting our names down and being seated to actually receiving our food

    My burger from Class Clown was the best burger I've had in the past few years. Hands down. Class Clown does smashed burgers right- perfectly crispy edges and juicy meat, leaving leave you so satisfied. I'm not normally one to fawn over a burger, but my California Classic Burger was simply perfect for what I needed, topped with a "trillion island" sauce, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onion. We also ordered the super duper fries, which come doused in a heavenly cheese sauce and topped with crispy cheezie bits. Adding chopped jalapeno chilies on the fries also elevated this dish to another level. Being a waitlist-only / walk-up restaurant, snagging a spot can be tricky. Highly recommend putting yourself on the waitlist online ahead of time, as there was a 75 min wait for our table of 3 when we put our names down at ~3:45pm on a Sunday and got sat at around 5pm. Was a great meal after a day of skiing. The space is small, but really cute and well decorated with a retro feel. Highly recommend during a visit to downtown Calgary!

    Why 5 stars? Because this meal couldn't have hit the spot anymore. --- --- --- We flew in from Vancouver and only planned to utilize Calgary for its airport with a proximity to Banff. But hunger took over and both of our bodies were ready to be met with the comfort of two good ole' hamburgers. While Yelp is not nearly as utilized in Calgary, I headed to Reddit for this all important research. "Hey Reddit, where can I find the best burger in Calgary" "Class Clown Burgers and it's not particularly close" - says one Redditor from a couple months earlier. Sold. Turns out, said Redditor was correct. Well, probably. I have now officially consumed one burger in Calgary, but it was THE BEST, despite that small sample size. I ordered the BBQ one. The wife went with the Donald McRonald. We shared some Super Duper Fries. And both of us came to the same conclusion: it was exactly perfect. It turns out, Calgary is more than just the closest airport to Banff!

    Just so ridiculously good. Busy restaurant but get on the wait list and go a little after lunch and you'll be in and out. Service was great and food was just to die for. Inside of the restaurant is pretty loud but they have outdoor seating that's quiet and enjoyable for people who don't like as much noise. Don't skip this restaurant!

    The best burger in Calgary!! I ate a lot of burgers in Calgary, and this is the best one I've had. Don't be scared by the long wait because it's worth every second..

    What's better than a burger, a burger with a hot dog. Also gluten free bun options

    We randomly found this place on yelp, after a disasterous car rental fiasco and we were hangry and tired. The burgers and chili fries were incredible and lifted us out of our funk immediately. After a week of hiking around Banff, Canmore and the Kananaskis, we couldn't stop thinking about these class clown burgers, so we stopped for a final burger prior to returning to the US. Highly recommend this place and the service and ambiance were fantastic. Also option for a gluten free bun for our party's gluten intolerant friend.

Here's what we ordered: Mango boba - surprisingly tart and could've used a bit of sweetness Peanut chicken salad - flavorful and refreshing, with noodles at the bottom Fish tacos with sweet potato fries - the beer-battered fish was crispy and delicious While the food was solid and the patio atmosphere was great, the service really impacted our experience. When we were ready to pay, it was difficult to get our server's attention. My husband eventually had to approach her across the patio, and she processed our payment while standing right there. It seemed like they were short-staffed the day we visited, which might explain the delays, but the lack of attention was still frustrating. Overall, good food and a nice setting, but I'd give it 3.5 stars due to the service issues

    Nice ambience especially in the outdoor area, and great for large groups looking for a laid back…read moreevening. The food was ok, and the service was friendly but not attentive enough. Food here is just alright. Fish tacos weren't bad but the fish wasn't crispy at all. The quasedilla "tortilla" was a little thick. The meat in the BBQ rice bowl was pretty good, but the ratio of rice to everything else was too high. The salad was pretty good and quite a large serving. We had A LOT of trouble flagging down our waitress, especially near the end when we were ready to pay, which was quite frustrating and the main reason I'm docking stars. However, I will say the setup outside is really nice. There are hanging plants, pretty large tables, music that's not too loud, and overall a nice vibe. I think for a slow, casual evening out this place will have you covered.

Good music, nice bar and beer assortment, variety on the menu and wacky decor. Server was quick and helped us pick out what to try.

As for the mains, i had smashburger with 2 patties and got waffle fries while my brother got the mac and cheese. which he says melted in his mouth and might have been the best mac and cheese he has had this year. Another thing make Leopold's stand out as it has tv every where. This is the first place that actually focussed on the Winter Olympics focussing on all the events. for those of you who don't know Calgary hosted the winter olympics in 1988 but you would not know it this week throughout the city. Not one sign or notice to tell you about. That said Leopolds is a place you can go after a long work week, listen to some country tunes watch sports and have a super meal. We may actually come back before i leave to go back to Ontario catch a certain Olympic mens hockey game Canada vs Finland in the semi final. This place is that good .

As we wandered trying to decide where to begin, we found ourselves looking in the windows of the Social Beer Haus and their sidewalk sign had Caesars on special. I was unaware of this establishment and discovered from Yelp that it is relatively new. We were greeted and quickly seated immediately noticing that the establishment is very large - essentially two rooms. The place is very open and modern! There was not much happening, as we were in early - just after 11:00 am. As I sipped my Caesar and the Missus sipped her $5.00 sleeve of Steam Whistle, we perused the menu to which we discovered featured a full spread of smokehouse items! Meats by the half pound with upgraded sides and a variety of sandwiches and burgers. I ordered the "Boy Named Sue" burger and the Missus had the club house (it had a clever name, but I cannot recall it). While waiting for the meal, we visited with the general manager - my Missus plans her companies events, so she inquired about private bookings which are possible. The Social Beer Haus website provides info on a number of "floor plans" and menu options for private parties. The food arrived and it looked amazing! Hot and fresh - presented on what seems to be a smokehouse standard baking sheet covered in butcher paper - fine dining this place is not. The fried jalapeno, gives you a little "bitch slap" with every bite which would make the Man in Black proud. I added an ice cold pint of PBR to top off the meal. I stole a couple bites of the Missus' club sando and it was delish - especially the bacon. All in all, the food was tasty and the portioning was filling. The Missus and I were boring in choosing the standard fries for sides, but there were upgrades like mac and cheese etc for an additional charge. Some of the other reviewers were disappointed in that they were expecting Haus in the name of the establishment. I saw "Social" and Beer" and didn't even notice Haus. You could get a smoked link - that is close to bratwurst I suppose. All in, it sounds like this place is busy during the evenings. It is worth checking out!

The corn bread was also very good and the fries were decent. What was disappointing was the meat! None of it was very hot, the chicken was way too salty, the beef was stringy and the pork was okay. Even the sauces (in filthy bottles) were underwhelming. A let down visit for sure!
