Pat is able to set up a beautiful ambiance, presentation and conversation! He worked with us beforehand to personalize our menu. He is such a joy to have in your own kitchen. He takes care of absolutely everything and before he leaves your kitchen is absolutely spotless. Honestly, my partner and I were blown away. It was such a treat to host a small dinner party in your own home and actually get to sit back and relax the whole time! If you are thinking of doing something unique and fun for your friends and family, I cannot recommend Pat enough. He is super adorable and once you meet him, you will definitely be inviting him back for more celebrations.

To fully understand our experience at the Hillbilly Grill it's helpful to see it within the whole…read morecontext of our accidental visit to Westlock. We unintentionally ended up in Westlock as a result of a minor medical emergency (don't worry, everyone's ok). While we're waiting for the doctor in our shared room, we observe the cast of characters that Westlock has to offer. Patient number one is this old guy getting injected with a bag of blood who asks the nurse why she's wearing gloves. She explains, to his horror, that she gets a new set of gloves every time she sees a new patient. He loudly complains that this is a waste - he figures you outta be able to lick your hands and wipe them off on your pants and that should be good enough. I'm thinking, "okaaaay, pretty redneck." Not to be outdone, the next patient is a 30-year-old woman who needs some stiches and treatment for rabies! It turns out that she's an old timey fur trapper who got attacked by a wild animal while dragging a 75-pound beaver through the woods. As it happens, the emergency room doctor who was treating her is ALSO a fur trapper so the two of them ease back and start swapping fur trapping stories. Once we were done, we notice that it's nearly 7pm so we ask a nurse for local restaurant recommendations. She sends us to a "place that looks pretty sketchy" called the "Hillbilly Grill" - by now the terms "sketchy" and "hillbilly" do not come as a surprise. When we arrive downtown, we see that the restaurant is located in what looks like a 100 year-old western hotel. Apparently, someone in the 1970's decided to "update" the building and cover up the classic brick with stucco. This 70's style architectural vandalism continues inside the building as I witnessed the interior décor from 1974. I'm thinking to myself that now I know why God had to create a place called Hell. Our experience completely changed when our meal arrived. We get the brisket and the pulled-pork sandwich and I swear to God that it is the best southern-style barbeque I've had this side of North Carolina. Nothing in Edmonton or Calgary touches the high quality of food I had in Westlock. It was tender and moist with just the right hint of smoky flavour. Simply outstanding! While we were enjoying our meal the owner came out to shoot the breeze with us - a 47 year-old man with a crushed cowboy hat, plaid shirt, shorts, and socks with sandals. He tells us this story about how his restaurant got broken into by a local meth-head. "Turns out it was Donna, you know - the lady who owns the bar across the street? Turns out it was Donna's son Larry! I even took a picture of him as he was riding away on his BMX bike while flipping me off. Actually, I kinda feel sorry for the guy. If you're a middle-aged man living in your mama's basement still riding your BMX bicycle around town - then you probably should examine the choices you've been making." Ladies and gentlemen...Westlock, Alberta! If you're looking for some amazing food at a reasonable price with a truly authentic redneck experience you can do no better than the Hillbilly Gourmet Grill in Westlock.

Oh. My. Dear. Lord…read more Last time I was here I split every dessert on the menu with a friend. Worth every calorie. Today I thought actual food may be necessary, and as I have been craving fried chicken, I figured I would give the chicken and waffles a chance. Presentation: the skull sold it for me. Anything that makes a dish stand out makes me happy. Flavour: The chicken breading was so crisp and perfectly seasoned! No chain can compete with his recipe. No dripping grease, just wonderfully juicy chicken. Dare I say, it was moist. In the best way possible. And the waffles? Wow....just wow. Fluffy and delicious. Price: So this massive portion - which is just as generous as all of the portion sizes - comes in just shy of $17!!! Leaves a little money for dessert, if you have room!

Huge number of menu options. Very large servings. Chef salad large enough for two. Burger with bacon and mushrooms was outstanding. So tasty. Note: If going for fish and chips, a little later in day might be helpful. All the fish was still frozen on our visit. We will go again at a later time to have their famous fish and chips. The staff is bar none EXCELLENT! Friendly and efficient, and almost intuitive as to their customers' needs. A special shout out to our server, Crystal. If any waitress ever deserved a tip, she did. Thank you! Parking area is fairly large and there is an inside bench to wait on should anyone with leg issues need a spot to rest. Overall, well worth the trip from Edmonton. PS The coffee is awesome, too.

You get free mimosa's with every food bank donation, however the organizer gives you a handful of mimosa tickets anyways. The service is awesome and all staff members are great. I must say that the venue itself is very dated and needs a major facelift. The outside and inside are old and coming apart. The carpet is dated, the paint on the walls is either scratched, stained, or peeling off. Overall, it has seen better days. Parking is terrible especially on big event days. The lot is small and most of the parking is done on the grass in front of the venue.

Paul had a quote for us within a day and made sure he could accommodate our date on short notice. Paul put on a fantastic dinner for my moms 90 birthday even though it was for only 30 people. He was able to accommodate us on fairly short notice when everyone else was not. There was so much food that we ended up sending everyone home that wanted with next day meals. The quality of the food and what was delivered for what was ordered was exceptional. He personally picked up the equipment and dishes that night and I couldn't thank him and his staff enough for what they provided. If you want great quality food and service with a professional touch this is the company to call.
