On the pricier end of quick hamburgers. Love the clive sauce on both the fries and burgers. Great choice of toppings. Inconsistency in how much the fries are cooked. One of my go to places when I am hungry and have not yet made dinner plans. read more

Went to Clive Burger on a whim with a co-worker of mine. It was in the middle of stampede hell week. The staff were friendly and attentive and explained to us how and what to do to order. I had a milkshake and he had some sort of pop. The burgers were good, but a little small for the amount of money I paid. Needless to say the food was awesome and so was the service. the only reason they are loosing a star is the pricing. will be back though read more

As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by the staff. They make their 1/4 lb burgers to order and you have you choice of delicious toppings. I had the one with cheddar cheese Clive Sauce, Ketchup, Relish, Mustard/Hot, Mayo, Pickle, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, and Jalapeno. It was delicious, but much greasiest than expected. I also ordered a small French fries. Their small is enough for two people to share with their burgers. Their shakes are delicious and you can combine two flavors if you please. They should have larger straws available because it was hard to drink a thick shake with a medium straw. Great atmosphere! The mirror at the back really made a it feel open. read more

Seriously. The best burgers I've ever had in Calgary. I also love how they recycle ;). Great place good people and very clean. And if you knew me I like clean ! lol read more

Burgers were small...so small they look like larger sliders. Not worth the money.

Pretty dang good burger place. Fast, cheap, and close. However, I recommend staying away from the cherry shake. Chocolate shake was awesome though. read more

I'd say this place is okay, but I'm shocked when I read reviews about it being the "best burger in the city." I thought the burger would be a lot bigger than it was. It was dry and it took a long time to arrive. The cheese was the cheap processed cheese (that I actually love, but expected real cheese). The poutine was a decent portion size. If the fries are cooked in peanut oil as a lot of people are suggesting, there was no signage as far as I could see... seems pretty dangerous? read more

Quality burgers and fries that taste fresh. Love the Clive sauce. The outdoor seating is nice in the summer. read more

My standard go to for a good burger. Must get Clive sauce for the real experience. Thanks for keeping it consistently tasty, Clive Burger!

The serving of fries was huge, so we split the large into 3. Even split, each serving was more than enough for the price. It came with ketchup and the clive sauce. So if you're there with some friends, split the large instead of ordering a small each. read more

Yum, the burger was delicious, but the shakes were lacking. They call them custard shakes, apparently thicker than regular shakes, but I found them quite thin. I definitely appreciated their focus on environmentalism in the packaging and operations. The price was fair also. I will definitely return! read more

Fried egg option on a burger... delicious! Clive burger is good for what it is, fast food burger but with great ingredients. The Cherry milkshake is also a must try. read more

Best burgers I've had. Just short of the ones I got for selling my soul to our lord and savior cthulu.

The burger was great, but the fries were the best I have ever had. Had so many left over, put them in the oven and ate them the next day. And that was a small order. The spicy mayo sauce on the side was not only an added surprise, but was very tasty as well. I will be going back to Cliveburger the next time I am in Calgary, no doubt about it! Their environmentally friendly packaging seals the deal. Go to Cliveburger. I think you will be glad you did. read more

Good burgers and fries, fantastic boozy shakes. I've eaten at Clive Burger twice now (Friday dinner, Saturday lucnh) and will defiantly be back now that I'm living in Calgary. The burgers are made to order and pretty damn fantastic, they'l dress them the way you want and the price to add bacon and/or cheese is reasonable. Most of the toppings are free and they have a good variety. The burgers can be a little bit greasy and they charge money for grilled onions on top of an already premium price. The fries are good, thick and crispy and taste great plain, with ketchup and especially dipped in Clive sauce. They have the usual range of soft drinks and a decent selection of beers including tall boys and draft. My favourite thing is there boozy milkshakes, especially the cherry with bourbon. Thick custard shakes (also available without the booze) with real flavours and a generous enough pour you can taste the bourbon. read more

Basically, the Clive burger is a spendy, high-end McDonalds burger. Not bad, but nothing special, either. The fries are quite good, though, and as others have stated a small order is going to be sufficient for most people. (edited for spelling) read more

Note: I've updated this review. As I live in the neighbourhood, I go to Clive all the time because their burgers are fantastic. But at least one out of ten times at Clive I'm treated quite rudely -- unapologetic staff who don't want to provide service (or an explanation), an inability to fulfill orders (and poor communication), etc. So despite my endless support of the business (because they have good food), I'm not going to return. I'm just super fed up with feeling like someone doesn't want to take my order or is just annoyed at my existence. I like to give a balanced review, so I'll say again -- their burgers are fantastic. But I'm done giving them my business. Previous review: First off, I should point out -- I go to Clive all the time. For fast(ish) food they have the freshest, most delicious burgers and ingredients you can find in this city. But I'm writing this review because I've been finding it frustratingly inconsistent as of late. Last time I attended (last week), the burger was charred (literally black, no way the cook didn't look at it and go "sheeeeiiiit that would be hard to eat"). This time -- I ordered a poutine.... once my order was ready (15 minutes later), they told me "oh, we're out of gravy, are you alright with a small fry?". I thought about my answer.... could I have responded "no?". That would be silly.... they're out of gravy, what could they do? Well, they could walk eight feet and tell the person at the till they are out of gravy and shouldnt sell any poutine. But they didn't do that. And they could have said -- "hey, since you paid for a poutine and we can't deliver, here's a coupon for your next time." But they didn't do that. Instead, they only offered to give me something worth less than what I paid for. I felt silly having tipped in advance. In summation -- please consider Clive. They are a great alternative to fast food -- sure, you wait a little longer and pay a touch more, but their product is significantly better, because they use better shit. Buuuuut..... they don't always seem to care about quality or their customers. I hope that doesn't affect them negatively in the long run, because Calgary deserves more independent, quality food service establishments. read more

Very Good Burger, not sloppy or messy and full of flavour. Clive sauce is excellent!

Been coming here for quite a while and I am always excited to eat one of their veggie burgers. I love the seating arrangement which is quite relaxed and it doesn't take too long for them to get your order ready. Only problem I have with this place is that getting a veggie burger is pretty expensive (I believe they add 2 dollars), and with a single burger already being $7 without cheese it can get pretty expensive, especially since I usually am only satisfied with the double burger. Overall, really like this place and would recommend to anyone looking for a tasty, quick burger and fries. read more

Used to be my favourite place for a vegetarian burger. Ordered takeaway and was expecting the veggie burger and fries that I've come to love and didn't get either. They have changed their veggie burger to something that was slightly crunchy and not tasty. Also. Their fries. Was perfection now they are like any other cheap chain style fries. For the $20 I spent I was expecting the best. Now it's the worst. I will not be returning read more

Great burgers here and the fries are awesome (done in peanut oil so have a great flavour).

I'm fairly new to the Calgary, and was looking for a solid burger joint. I asked a couple of cool guys at the bus stop if they knew of any place within walking distance. They named a few, and then mentioned Clive burger (which was not walking distance but insisted it was worth the lengthy trip). I took their word for it and made the trip down 17th ave and wow was it worth it. Not only was I Impressed by the modern laid back vibe, but the place was actually clean and very approachable, where a lot of burger joints are quite grungy. ALSO They serve BEER. Yes indeed, ice cold brews. So thank you Clive burger for welcoming me to Calgary with a full stomach and a glass of ale. Props. read more

I'm a big fan of this place. There was a couple times where they forgot to put on all the toppings but it's always delicious. Turns out you don't need almost all the extras for a great burger and I always get extra Clivesauce. read more

The burgers here are very good and made to order. However, once you order it will take a while to get your burger especially if you come during a peak time. Hopefully a different process can be created so burgers can come out more quickly. We sometimes avoid Clive if we don't have time to wait around. I also find when it's super busy, burgers are usually wrong as well. read more

I'm a burger guy amongst other things, out for long ride. And decided I needed to try burger here a few weeks ago, AWESOME, for a burger guy I really enjoyed it. Initially they miss placed my order so while i waited they brought me a free milkshake as a thank you for patience. When, the burger showed up shortly there after, and included fries (again as thanks for waiting) you would have to be18 and playing football to not be totally stuffed with a double burger, Clive style , fries and a shake. Great place for the burger boy or girl. read more

This was our first visit to Clive Burger as we'd heard it was very good. We ordered two burgers with cheese, various toppings as they have a nice choice and they're free, a small order of fries and two milkshakes - a vanilla and a coffee one. The burger was very good and just the right size -not huge and not small. The milkshakes were different from others but also quite good. Now the fries.......the small size is more than enough for two people to share. We were disappointed in them, though. Yes, they are fried in peanut oil which makes them crispy but about 3/4 of ours were way too crispy to eat! Too crunchy. When we'd come across one that was soft enough, it was very good. Not a fan, though, so probably won't be back. read more

Stopped by Clive Burger around 1:30 am this morning and chowed down on a veggie burger and a small fries. Clive's veggie burger is way better than most of the other late-night vegetarian choices (Tubby Dog, which was so bad it had my friend and I in a fit of laughter, and The Big Cheese, which is just average), and the meat burgers got rave reviews from my friends. Apparently the milkshake was awesome- described as "better than Peter's" (now if only it too came in like, one million flavors). The fries were interesting... I ordered a small and it was definitely big enough to share. The word I would use to describe the fries is "dense"- it must be something about the peanut oil that, while making them perfectly crispy, also made them just a little bit heavy. I would order them again, but I'd want to share the small order between three or four friends. The only disappointing thing, in my opinion, was the behavior of one of the girls at the cash register. She was ALL OVER a guy in front of us in line, which held up ordering for a really, really, really long time. They swapped numbers, Facebook contact info, you name it... all while my alcohol-filled tummy rumbled. I'm pretty sure that's what Craigslist's Missed Connections is for, honey! read more

For the price charged, this is easily the worst burger and fries I have ever tasted. Everything is covered in grease, I might as well just bought a container of oil and drank that - it would have the same effect. Service is also pathetic and everything is served in a paper bag even if you are eating in. Stupidest thing I have ever seen. I will never go back as the food was disgusting. read more

Awesome Awesome Awesome! Love the Boozy shakes and the burgers, the regular size fries are enough to share with about 3 people. Great spot!

I'm surprised I hadn't written a review for Clive Burger earlier, because for my first 2 years in Calgary, I was here so often after the bars closed the restaurant staff would greet my friends and I as soon as we walked in the door. Sometimes they even broke out in song, I kid you not. I miss those days. Now my visits to Clive are much more ordinary, but still usually occur after 1am with few exceptions. This is a much superior alternative to McDonald's after the bar! Burgers are incredibly delicious, maybe because you get to pick exactly what toppings you want, and the "small" fries is enough to feed 2 people. Their fry sauce is something special, so ask for extra. The restaurant is awesome modern-diner decor inside, and you can purchase Clive Burger swag if you so desire -- and you should, c'mon, show your support. Clive Burger holds a special place in my heart (and my stomach) forever. read more

The burgers are OK. The gluten free buns are fragile. I find the fries tasty but greasy. The milkshakes are really good, but once again really heavy. read more

Great service and good ambience. Got a veggie burger which had a great bun and toppings but the burger itself was a standard garden burger which I can get at Costco. Boozy shake was great. read more

We tried Clive Burger because most of the reviews were good- Not sure what happened the night we went? Customer service was terrible, slow and incompetent cashier, snarky manager with no apologies for distasteful music, NOT family friendly unless you like to hear the f bomb dropped a lot (by staff), burger..... What burger.... Reminded me of a frozen flat patty I could have gotten at McDonalds- Ugh! Where's the beef? read more

It seems like a lot of the bad reviews are from people who went at nighttime when the food wasn't fresh. I was here on a quiet sunday afternoon so everything was being cooked from scratch. I had a mad craving for fries. They were excellent, and the clive sauce was sooo good! The milkshake machine was broken otherwise I would have tried one. read more

cool place, feels like an actual place you'd want to hang out double burger 4/5 fries 3.5/5 read more

I love this place! I don't normally like burgers but I can't get enough of these burgers! I hear they changed the oil from peanut oil, I'm not sure I like there fries now which is a shame. read more

Herd so many good thing's about this place ,and that they had lots of celiac options. The place looks nice ,and when you arrive and look to your right you see a giant menu. At the bottom of the menu is says "all items can be made gluten free". Holy hell was I so excited to see this . My husband says he would like a gluten free poutine the lady who was not taking our order but another lady says "there is no such thing" . Alright then he was hoping we could share . I was confused since they advertise that everything can be done gluten free on the menu in giant letters. Then I ask if they have gluten free buns for smokies the one girl says yes . Then we start ringing it in , the girl who said "no such thing" then says they do not have gluten free hotdog buns . They will put it on a burger bun . At this point there are people behind me so I just say fine . When we get our food the smokie is nothing special . I could have bought a better one from the grocery store and there was just so much bun I didn't finish the thing . Things to take away from this . Train your staff better . Make sure your staff actually knows your inventory , maybe have a management member on at night to handle staff. So they don't come off as rude . Also don't say everything on the menu can be gluten free if that's not true . There are better places to get burgers I won't be coming back . read more

The burgers are really tasty but the meat is only half the size of the bun which made the experience disappointing. I hope they can improve since the group I was with all noticed it and you are expecting an amazing burger when you wait 20 mins. read more

Disappointing, we've had better burgers at 5guys. This is a very basic restaurant. I tried the veggie burger and it was a bland 'Money's mushroom' burger that can be bought in Safeway. Boring and more expensive than a single beef burger. My husband ordered a double beef burger and it was small! A big mac would take longer to eat. I thought the staff was pleasant and the recycling system they have for all of their napkins, burger wraps, paper bags etc was admirable. Unfortunately, we probably won't be back. read more

A very good burger. Went there twice over the summer and it was good both times. Very good service and they can serve beer which is a very nice bonus. Nothing beats a good burger with a great cold beer. A nice addition to the 17th Ave. eating scene. read more
