We came on a Friday night, it was totally dead but the bar tender and DJ knew the assignment. My girls had their glasses filled, shots taken & the DJ catered the dance floor to us. Not bad for a Friday night when the restaurant was closed! read more

Waiter split my club soda all over me, the table and my sister. We had to remove ourselves so the floor could be mopped. Although apologetic there was no compensation on our dinner - either on the bill or even an offering of dessert. Dinner itself a disappointment. Everything came at once - salad and main however the garlic knots didn't arrive until mid dinner but only after our request. Dessert - burnt coffee, probably sitting there since lunch. He did make a fresh pot upon my request. Apple pie was microwaved so the crust was soggy and tough. We were a party of five. I can see why the restaurant was empty for a Friday night if this is how the meal service goes. Definitely disappointed. read more

On a recent family & friends trip to Banff, we hit up Melissa's Missteak for dinner. It's got that casual vibe with a sports bar and a dance floor. The menu is mostly about the meats (yay!) and surprisingly, the prices didn't make us want to cry, especially for a tourist spot. Service was a bit meh, but the food was delicious. The mushroom soup starter warmed us up. Then the prime rib, steak, and ribs were cooked perfectly. The ribs were a tad fatty and sweet for me, but the group loved them. My fave was the prime rib -- so tender! Definitely recommend this place over some of the pricier joints in Banff. read more

My husband I just wanted dessert, decided to check out Melissa's Misteak. The staff were very friendly and seated us promptly. I ordered the pineapple cheesecake and my husband ordered the slice of apple pie à la mode with vanilla ice cream. Unfortunately the pie fell short the pie was very gummy and not good at all. My cheesecake lacked flavor there was no wow factor. Along with our dessert we had 1 drip coffee and 1 cappuccino. Also not the best. The server was nice and took the apple pie off the bill. read more

Came here for breakfast.... It did not disappoint. The bloody Mary's were on point. I had the waffle, others had the French toast and the apple pancake was fantastic. If I were to come again I would eat the Swiss pancake or the French toast. French toast is large so two slices is probably plenty but we finished all three pieces. Service was fantastic and great atmosphere. Definitely pick this place if on the fence. read more

Conveniently located at the heart of Banff and across the street from the hotel we stayed. Large restaurant and has a nice lodgee feel to it. The place wasn't very busy. We sat by the window and had a nice view of the town and the mountain. Service was friendly and had great conversation. I ordered the 8oz prime rib, which came with mashed potatoes and gravy, cauliflower and broccoli, horseradish, and "yorkie pudding." The prime rib was cooked perfectly medium rare as requested. Steak with mushroom sauce and fries were fantastic as well. Overall great atmosphere and great for groups, great views, great food, and great staff! read more

Pretty good bar/restaurant but it was dead during the week. They claim to have live music Thursday-Sunday but we returned on Thursday to find a guy mixing music on stage. It was ok but he was only playing for about 15 of us in the crowd. The best thing we had was the loaded Chicago style pizza. It was really good!! read more

Fantastic apps for happy hour (or rather appy hour)! Drink options left a little to be desired for some of my group, but service was amazing. Shawn provided us with such a fun experience with his personality and vibe and was very attentive. We will definitely return if we ever visit beautiful Banff again! read more

Let's be clear finding Melissa's MisSteak was no mistake. While on a work/vacation (wife working, me vacationing) I found Melissa's while craving a Bloody Mary. As they are open early I walked through the doors and found a place where I felt like I was among longtime friends. I was quickly reminded it's Canada and you order a Caesar not a Bloody. From there I found every excuse I could to stop in to grab a drink and chat with the owner, the bartenders and most of all the everyday locals that call Melissa's their second home. A big thank you to the owner and staff for making me feel at home during my visit. I'm planning on visiting in the spring and will no doubt be back to catch up on the winter stories. read more

Practically empty for brunch when we came despite having an extensive breakfast/brunch menu. The Yorkshire benny was creative and tasty. A gripe I have with traditional eggs benedict is that sometimes the english muffin is too tough or doesn't cut with the rest of the toppings but to have the swap with a yorkshire pudding meant it was tender and absorbed the hollandaise sauce well. The poached egg was closer to soft boiled, no runny yolk, but it was still okay. Others in my group had the BLT and the eggs/hashbrown/saugage combo. Nothing exceptional but having more hollandaise sauce to dip was nice. Great central location with nice views of Banff Ave. read more

I hate to be negative but nothing we ordered was good. 62 dollar ribeye was half an inch thick and tasted like hamburger. Smoked old fashion had no smoke and did not smell of wood at all. My wife had a 38 dollar hamburger that tasted like it was from a theme park. 1 out of 5 stars. Definitely not a steakhouse!!! Stay away. I warn you! Don't go there!! read more

We enjoyed our meal here. We split the grilled cheese with bacon, which had great flavor, and a Caesar. Our server, Kelly, was great. He was personable and helpful. read more

Fantastic prime rib & service in Banff! This restaurant is on the second level so you'll have to get to the door and go up some stairs. When you're inside, it's super spacious with a very saloon-y feel. We were greeted with a friendly smile and they were able to seat us earlier than our reservation. I recommend making a reservation, and it's super easy to do online. We both got the prime rib and it was fantastic! We were told that there wasn't a rare prime rib but we got medium rare. It was cooked perfectly and came super quickly with veggies and a Yorkshire pudding. The pudding was great too! Nice and flakey. The gravy was very meaty and perfect to dip your prime rib in. Service was super friendly (AJ was super nice!) and prompt. I definitely recommend if you're looking for a nice affordable prime rib dinner in Banff. read more

My wife and I ate our first meal in Banff at Melissa's. We were there relatively early and the restaurant was very nice in that it was relatively relaxed and quiet. The food was excellent. My steak was perfectly cooked and my wife's meal was also perfect. Both the hostess and Eden, our waitress, were very pleasant, and took good care of us. read more

The apple pancake was delicious. The waiter was super friendly. The ambiance has a lodge feel to it. We wanted to try the "syrup" while in Canada but hard to find a pancake place. Melissa's checked that box. read more

I went to Melissa's MisSteak and it was a so-so experience. My partner and i both ordered steaks (of course) rare and med-rare. They both came well done... it definitely was perplexing having your steak come wrong at a steakhouse. Our server was very apologetic and replaced our steaks as well as comped 2 beers which was nice - but in my opinion, a proper steak house shouldn't mess up a steak in the first place. We ordered calamari as an appetizer as well, i thought it was quite bland and lacking a little colour. You can be the judge of that. read more

First time in Banff, looking for a spot to eat breakfast and explore, and found this place. Great food, great atmosphere, great service (thank you Kelly!) and great views of the surrounding landscape and for people watching! We had the mushroom and Brie and smoked salmon bennys and they were so good! As was their coffee! I'm saving this place in my favorites for next time! read more

Got the harvest benny, one egg $14 (2 eggs would've been $22). Omg, the hollandaise sauce was the best I've ever tried. I wish I got 2 eggs just so I could have had more of it! The asparagus was cooked nicely, and still had a good crunch to it. I really liked this and I'd for sure eat the same thing again! read more

I was little apprehensive going for breakfast at a steak place but based on reviews their breakfast seemed to be consistently good than the steak or other meals. As we entered, the place gave us a diner/cabin feel which was nice and cozy. The staff was friendly and food was served fairly quickly as well. We got the smoked salmon benedict and crab asparagus omlette. What I love about this place is that you can get your benedict half size (one egg) which works out great for me as I usually find the 2 egg benedict pretty filling. Overall good place to grab a comfort meal before heading out sightseeing for the day. read more

We sat upstairs in the Lounge during Friday happy hour (discount on beers and cheap wings). I had a buttered rum drink and it's served warm. The Melissa's stew was delicious. You could taste that it was homemade and there was a bayleaf in it! It was served with garlic breAd. There is a lounge menu plus you can order off the downstairs menu. There is self serve popcorn upstairs. There was a section of tables labeled "locals section". You could tell locals enjoy this place. I highly recommend this place for quality home cooked food. read more

Definitely was not impressed. I came here because I read in a blog that this was a great spot for breakfast. I will say it was average at most. Portions are large but flavors were lacking. My scrambled eggs were served folded and were flavorless. The bacon was alright nothing memorable. The hashbrowns are served loose and lacked flavor. Surprisingly the toast (that I didn't want) was the best part. It was fresh, lightly toasted and the melted butter was a great plus. My advice to the chefs salt and pepper don't be afraid to use it. Reasonably priced food read more

Stopped at Melissa's MisSteak for breakfast on our last day at Banff. It's conveniently located in the downtown, and comes across more of a pub/bar than a restaurant. The breakfast was nothing special, the Montreal smoked meats eggs benedict was drenched in hollandaise; my mixed grill was a good combo, but nothing notable. And the coffees were really bad - especially given how much good coffee can be had at Banff. I would not recommend this for a breakfast stop - especially given the number of better options available. read more

We came for breakfast because I wanted to try the yorkshire benny it was so good! The hash im pretty sure is just frozen not home made it was very boring. Waffle was tasty but again nothing special.

We stopped in for the first time for lunch today and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our meal, quick and excellent service from J.D. and the food every course was delicious. We shared the prime rib stuffed Yorkies which were juicy and delicious, my husband said he could just eat that fro a meal. Ordered the prime rib eggs Benny and the hot turkey sandwich with a side of the house tomato Parmesan soup for our mains both were tender and juicy and delicious, ranks up there with one of the better hot turkeys I've had, fresh juicy turkey lots of gravy on French bread. The soup had a great flavour. And for dessert we shared the fresh Saskatoon and apple crumble which was quite lovely. Good hearty home cooked meal feel to everything we had. read more

I only had one mealtime free in Banff, and it was lunchtime, which presented something of a problem for my desire to have an Alberta steak, because most of the steakhouses are only open for, or only have steaks at, dinnertime. But lo, I saw that Melissa's offered a ribeye steak sandwich for lunch, so I went there and ordered that. It's not a steak sandwich, gratifyingly enough. It's a reasonably-sized boneless steak, on a plate with a steak knife, and what makes it a "sandwich" is, there's a thick slice of garlic bread. It was more medium well than the medium rare I'd ordered, and it wasn't exactly the height of prime-quality Alberta beef, but it was a good steak, not too dry in the middle and interestingly-enough marbled around the outside. I was quite satisfied that I'd come to this casual-dining restaurant. read more

Enjoyed a burger with salad and draft beer at the bar. Bartender was okay, food alright, not overly crowded but a bit slow with service. Not my top choice for eating in Banff as I enjoyed so many other venues. But I did eat it all and hiking will make you hungry, LOL! read more

I arrived at 6PM on a Saturday and was seated at the bar. The atmosphere is fairly loud, with no barriers between guests, and pumped in music. It has an ambiant dB of around 75 while half full, measured from the bar. I ordered the Chicken Cordon Blu from the menu with roasted potatoes and a glass of water. When my food arrived I'd still yet to receive silverware, which someone was able to grab for me. The mushroom sauce was excellent, if a little scare, and the chicken was cooked well. The roasted potatoes were badly over cooked, to the point of actually being tough. Something I'd never experienced outside of food that's been under a heat lamp for hours. The veggies were also barely seasoned, and the whole dish needed a fair bit of salt. I returned the roasted potatoes as they were inedible, and received mashed potatoes. These were an improvement and were at least properly cooked, with a flavour that was not quite butter, I suspect they used margarine. The gravy tasted like it used packaged mix, and it was disappointing. They have slow cooked meats on the menu but don't make it into quality gravy. I sent back most of my food and was given a 25% discount. But even with that I drastically overpaid for food a chain diner could have made better. I think I now know what Melissa's Mistake was, below average food for premium prices. read more

It was good but not worth the price. I got a 6 oz steak on ONE piece of garlic bread and a side of fries. The fries were pretty good, but it wasn't that much. The steak was pretty tough. I guess I should have asked for medium rare instead of medium. The garlic bread was good, but shocked it wasn't like a sandwich type. I don't think I would go back here if I ever came back. Alberta is known for their beef but it wasn't too great here. read more

Came here last month with a group of about 17 Banff Marathon runners after not being able to be accommodated at another restaurant. Glad we found this place. Our entire group was seated almost immediately in the back area. We had JM who was friendly, upbeat and so efficient! The food was good and service exceptional. JM was awesome, the bartender (who speaks many languages ) was great and the rest of the staff also worked just as hard to help get our big group of hungry runners fed! Wish we had the energy to return at night when the real partying starts! Great spot! read more
