What a great find! Casual and clean. We enjoyed the beet salad 10/10, beet chips 7/10, the ranch burger 8/10 , the spicy mushroom mozza burger 10/10, and the Mr. chicken panino 10/10! There is an abundant selection of beverages too. Everything was delicious and I would order them again! The service was prompt, kind and the manager made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal. read more

Good selection of options for lunch. Food was prepared fresh and delicious, good hamburger. Service friendly and prompt. Prices are very reasonable for downtown. Modern atmosphere in a small space, clean and friendly. It is loud from lots of conversations at the tables. read more

Holy Grill - The menu at order counter - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Don't know why so many people say it's hard to find. Yes it's not at street level but just enter lobby and go up one flight of stairs. Order right as you walk in -- menu is posted. Drinks are in fridge behind you. Grab any open table. They give you a buzzer for when your food is ready. Normally you pick it up yourself but they weren't busy so brought me my food. Got a bbq chicken sandwich. It was big and messy with a good flavor. The chicken was perfectly cooked -- the delicate balance between dry by being too cooked and a health issue by being undercooked. I wish the chicken had a little more char on it, and I should have asked them to toast the bun. But these are minor complaints. There were a few potato chips served with the sandwich. I doubt they were house made. The tables and floor were clean. I noticed they cleaned after every guest. When I left, all four staff members thanked me for visiting. read more

Amazing burger, poutine milkshake. " The best poutine I've ever had", said Pete. Wish I lived closer

This location is definitely super difficult to find. I went to the wrong location at the beginning and was told that there are 3 Holy Grill locations. OMG. It took a lot of effort to finally able to grab my food. What was worse was that it was cold outside as well. I had no choice but to walk outside. They are hidden behind the elevator above Tim Hortons and in the corner. This location is on Ritual and I placed an order through Ritual. I got the Ranch burger. I found the Prime Rib meat a bit tasteless and also the texture was very weird. It looked like it was either steamed or there were too many filler. I did like the bacon in the burger. The burger itself was huge and super filling. Their chips that came with the burger were awesome. It was super delicious. The burger itself wasn't greesy and oily. For the price it was definitely wow. For the taste, it wasn't wow to me. Maybe I have different taste buds than most people. I did like the decor and layout of this restaurant. read more

Counter service restaurant with ample seating. Quite busy for a Wednesday morning so obviously a popular spot. We got there a little too late for breakfast but they did have an all day breakfast sandwich, so we went with that. Oh my, it was everything you could want and then some. Fried egg, three full strips of bacon, avocado, spinach and tomato, and pickled eggplant, which added an intriguing tart note. It came with some kettle chips that tasted house made. For under $10, it was filling and delicious. Coffee was self serve and all condiments were available for the food. read more

Holy Grill - Breakfast sandwich with kettle chips. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

FOOD: Good quality breakfast and great portion. I tried the Pacific Benedict with Smoked Salmon and my husband tried the Wakey Wakey breakfast with smash browns. Their hash browns (or they call it, Smash browns) were so crispy that I'm still thinking about them today. ENVIRONMENT: It took us roughly 15 minutes walking in circle on the street to find this restaurant. Until we got help from a security guy inside an office building, we then realized the restaurant was actually on the 2nd floor. As a tourist, I thought this was a true hidden gem. So hidden, we almost missed it. The space is open and modern. Lots of windows and seats. SERVICE: Friendly. You order at the front counter and grab your own seat. Once the food is ready, they will buzz you to pick it up. It was a bit quiet when we were there so the staff brought our food to our table. read more

I was excited to see Holy Grill open up near my work. I met up with some fellow downtown workers for lunch today and was a bit disappointed in the food quality. I remember eating at the first location a couple of years ago and at the time, Holy Grill was delicious. Today, we ordered three different types of sandwiches/burgers. Here's the short of it - the inside of each sandwich was over cooked and the buns, rock hard. The long of it, for those of you who desire details, is as follows. The meat in the "gourmet burger" was rock hard and not fresh tasting. The patty in the veggie burger was lack lustre. The avocado breakfast sandwich filling was the best among the three. The crispy bacon was a bit exciting. The worst part, common to all three orders, was that our kaiser buns were hard and very cold - like straight out of the fridge cold. I prefer my buns toasted so imagine my dismay! In any case, I have faith. I will give this place another try because I want it to work out. As usual, the staff they've employed are pretty awesome. The interior is completely new and pleasant. Lots of San Pellegrino fizzy drink options. read more

A very cute and clean place on the second floor; you can take either the elevator or stairs in the back. We had a quick early lunch here and enjoyed the atmosphere and the food both. Had been recced the New Californian by a friend and it lived up. Who allowed this orgiastic explosion of flavorful vegetables in my mouth? Filling and so good. The beet chips are also crispy and slightly sweet and amazing with the house dip. read more

I cannot say enough about Holy Grill, I order for myself and for work, it is always a hit! The food is fresh and portions are great! Both locations are superb, support local! read more

Holy Grill is a great lunch and breakfast space, I frequent the 5th ave one as I can get to it through the +15's from work, it's a bit of a walk but I can definitely use the extra calories burned getting there and back for the deliciousness that I enjoy once I am there. You order at the front and then get a table after, they have buzzers to let you know when your food is ready. The tables are often all full when I get there but they open up quite quickly as people are pretty courteous about others waiting. For breakfast I usually get the classic bacon and egg sandwich, it comes with a pickle which is delicious and you can add extras like spinach and pickled hot peppers. They have an avocado breakfast sandwich as well which is fully loaded and delicious but a bit much for me that early in the morning. For lunch the ranch burger is a great option or the salad is especially good if you're looking for something a bit lighter, either way you need to get the sweet potato or beet chips on the side with the chipotle dip, so good! read more

One of my favourite breakfast places downtown, the food is delicious and the prices are reasonable, which is tough to say for most downtown restaurants. Great spot to meet someone before work, fast and tasty. I had the Sausage Nicmuffin, which was a great breakfast sandwich. For those with a huge appetite, you'll likely want two sandwiches, which is still very affordable, one was enough for me. read more

We're from out of town so any culinary experience is with sensitivity because we're taking in a different cultural experience. Said experience at Holy Grill deserved 5 stars based on the following merit: -Their bacon avocado breakfast sandwich was the best sandwich we've ever tasted in the world -They didn't skimp on the bacon -The staff was friendly especially the staff cooking these delicious meals behind the counter. I arrived to pick up my 4 plate order when the buzzer went off and I was kindly told to just take my time with all my plates. Clearly these people care to make you feel comfortable -The cost of our bill was less than half the cost of the breakfast from the day before at a more well known fancy breakfast locale -Location and ambience was cool -Coffee was bottomless read more

I'm going to say it, best burger in Calgary without having to leave downtown. Downtown is a sea of corporate restaurants frequented by sales guys with expense accounts who don't know how to procure a fine burger with fresh ingredients. Or you can find a Wendy's in every second building. Holy Grill's downtown location (is mysterious to find in the +15 network) but well worth the lunch time hunt. Awesome people, great service, awesome sides, and I like the open kitchen to see how it all goes down. read more

Pacific Benedict, delicious, but only complaint, which I'm sure everyone would always agree with,.....one more slice of salmon would have made it perfect. ... but then again, there is never enough salmon in any meal when you go out to a restaurant....is there? Still fantastic. read more

Great Eggs Benedict. Crunchy potatoes - awesome texture and flavour. Patio is nice as well and not busy when I was there at 10 am on a weekday! read more

I knew this place was there but never went - I've been to the beltline location. Got a burger and fries take out and it took a little longer than I expected but worth the wait. Got the "Super Burger" it comes with fries. Good burger, good fries - couldn't do it everyday as price (if I got a drink it would have been the better part of a $20 bill) and health wise but a nice treat. They have canned pop (ick) and a bunch of hipster teas and stuff. got a bottle of Coke at the store around the corner. read more

The food is simply delicious! Super fresh! Great restaurant quality! The chefs are very friendly; I would say the only drawback is how slow they are at times when you're looking for a semi quick lunch. Get there early cause the lines are nuts at noon. read more

Get there early for lunch at the 5th Avenue as they fill up fast. Fantastic sandwiches & burgers. I had the Italian panini and loved the added touch of cream cheese. In already looking forward to my next visit. You will order at the front and the food will be ready to pick up at the kitchen very quickly after that. Excited to try other things on the menu. read more
