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!

Horrible food! So dry I couldn't even eat it, service was ok. They also like to price gouge you,…read moreside salad if you order ranch it is a two dollar up charge! I substituted ribs for chicken and it was a up charge of 5 bucks! A 1/2 pound of ribs is 17.00 and a 1/2 pound of chicken is 15.50, so a quarter pound of ribs vs chicken should at max be two bucks, right. Plenty of not so family friendly people hanging just outside the restaurant. Stay away, stay away, stay away.

The beer options covered every type anyone could ask for. The staff was happy to pour samples to try. A holiday community brew was not only exactly my style, the restaurant donates a percentage of every one sold to a charity. I ordered the Spanish prawns, and with all of the veggies, peppers, & rice had such great fresh flavors and was enough to hit the spot without making me feel stuffed and left room for the spice cake dessert, which was equally delicious. This checks off everything I want in a spot: Great food, drink, atmosphere, & friendly people. Yes, I will be back!

Now Imagine that they…read moreasked me why i didn't inform them of the sudden change in my booking as they went to the trouble of reserving a section, hiring extra staff and turning away other bookings and my response was, yeah, sorry, i guess i should have let you know. Well, this afternoon. My group of 4 researched some Happy Hour options and thought we would try out The Craft Happy Hour that "is available every day from 2pm to 5pm" according to their website and social media platforms. We considered several different establishments but decided to make the half hour trip to Craft Market Downtown only to be told by our waitress "sorry, we dont have happy hour during Stampede week". Thanks Craft Beer Market for the honesty and effort in earning my trust and loyalty. Next time Barbarella it is!!!

I went to this place on 17th Ave. going to take out my service dog for a steak dinner and…read moreappreciation for his work for the month. I usually go to Earls, which is an amazing place on Stephen Avenue with great hospitality and amazing food selections. I walked into the national and they requested an outside seat because it was a beautiful day. The female staff member identified my canine as a female and asked what was her name. I stated Yep he is a male and his name is Goliath.. From that point on, I was treated with severe aggression and hostility by the staff members The waitress that approached my table was hostile in nature and when I explained to her that I wanted a regular Caesar if they made one, I would love one she was offended. I explained that a lot of places have a house style Caesar and I was looking for a normal style Caesar, and if they provided it complete aggression and attitude in her tone and how she addressed me. she then performs the worst duty of all, which is falsifying a report to a police officer. She had her superiors, called the police and stated that I threatened her with my service dog. There is no action on this of me, threatening her. There is no threat to her there is no hostility, and I recorded the whole thing with my glasses . Big shout out to Ray and Maia, with these glasses, I was able to prove my case and clearly clarify any questions at the Police we're having in regards to the accusation. Seven police officers showed up at my table after I had enjoyed a Caesar and was joyfully offered another by the mail manager. The table beside me was having a great conversation with me. They were a family from the US who were coming to Canada, and I was explaining to them the wonderful things I could see such as the Calgary stampede that was coming up. I explained and showed off of metal. My dog was given by a paramedic for the great service that he provides, and we were having a wonderful conversation before the police showed up. I own a service animal training company and promote my business through word-of-mouth . ! This was sheer defamation of character, belligerent, and lies, false accusations, and the worst service I have ever received in any of the establishments I've visited in the city If you are choosing a place to go to, I recommend you avoid the cra and abrasive nature of this one

In fact, he put together a sangria that was the perfect combination of wine and fruit and refreshingness for a hot day! Dylan was training a bartender and we got to witness his knowledge as he helped her out. The ambiance of National is very cool. It feels upscale and friendly at the same time. I'll definitely be back, if not this trip, the next!

It's a classic pub vibe, with a decor that matches its name, but it's the food that really took me by surprise. The table had a round of Shafts that were quite delicious and I tried their cider on tap. Food wise, they have an astonishing selection of Gluten Free Option, so for once I was able to enjoy appetizers galore. The calamari was tasty as heck. The chicken strips could've used a bit of seasoning, but came with excellent sauces. And well, I have never had a bad tater tot in my life. I'd like to go back and try more here, that's for sure.

Ouch. Although this…read moreplace is a tad pricey for the closest "neighborhood bar", typically the pizza (the only item worth re ordering) is a go to. Yesterday (Thursday) was pizza special night. My husband ordered French onion soup to start and his own pizza and I ordered a pizza as well, I also asked for it to be VERY well done. Why? Because typically vegetarian pizzas are soggy with all the veg goodness. AND it's usually perfect when you ask for it this way. Our pizzas come out. I instantly saw mine was NOT well done (the cheese wasn't even brown/crispy. My husbands looked fine. I took closer look at mine and noticed that the dough was also raw. Server came to checkin, i showed her a the raw dough, she profusely apologized and sent it back. It came out again, looking the same way and it felt like it just sat under the heat lamp. Cheese was the same way, everything...including the raw dough. The manager was making his rounds and ended up two booths ahead of us and we could hear him apologizing..lucky me, he came to our booth. I explained the pizza was already sent back once and it came back with the same issue and showed him the problem. I got an "ooook" from the manager. .....and then I said "I'd like this off the bill and taken back please." Without hesitation another "ook" came from him and the pizza was whisked away. Nothing else was exchanged. He could see my husband had a pizza and soup, we had beers... and he offered nothing. Zero. Not only that, no apology. Just ooooook and walked away lol The server came back, we asked for the bill and pizza box. She apologized again and asked if I'd like anything at all. I was over it, and just wanted to leave. I declined and thanked her. She again offered dessert to go. I declined and she apologized again- to which is no fault of her own but I appreciated it. I was super appalled by the managers reaction and zero effort to make our experience better. Both my husband and I come from previous YEARS in the service industry and we were both left speechless by the interaction with him. We've been to Madison's a handful of times and over the years have primarily ordered pizza to go and have never had this kind of issue. Disappointing. We'll spend our money elsewhere.
