The Boss kitchen and bar is a great stop with a fabulous view. Downstairs they have an evening happy hour that starts at 9 PM. Since the sun goes down much later at this latitude, we chose the upstairs where we could actually see the sunset. I've forgotten her name now, but we had a really sweet, tall, slender Australian girl/server take great care of us. We had eaten wayyy too many wings earlier that day so we chose to share and enjoy an amazing beef carpaccio that had extraordinary flavor with the garlic truffle seasoning. Then we enjoyed a salad, which I've also forgotten about. What stood out the most is the coconut cocktail, it's almost margarita-like, superb! Enjoy the Boss and a great view! read more

Unfortunately, our experience wasn't great. Service was very slow -- after being seated for about 50 minutes, we had only received one 3-oz drink each, and our server never returned to check if we wanted additional drinks. The bison sliders were very good; however, the scallops and pork belly were disappointing. The scallops were overcooked, and the pork belly was dry. Overall, I would not recommend this place to a friend. read more

The boss kitchen was a great first meal in canada. we had the bbq chicken pizza which was very good but had this white sauce on it that i wasn't a fan of. We also split a poutine which we upgraded to have bison on it. Our waiter was very friendly and got us our food fast. the restaurant had a small dining area with a bar and then upstairs area which i did not get to see. Would definitely recommend for some bistro food near a lot of good shoping read more

Dined here for a quick brunch before leaving Banff to drive back to the Calgary airport. The server was very sweet and attentive. The space was cozy and located upstairs from the bar area. I ordered the eggs Benny with bacon but when it arrived it had bison meat on the English muffins. I let the server know and she removed the charge for the bacon (I had added it thinking there was no meat due to the menu description). The dish was tasty but was very rich so I couldn't finish it. Their potato cubes served alongside were so good and I always appreciate greens with breakfast. Would return to try other dishes on the menu! read more

Located on Wolf Street this restaurant has a main floor and a second floor. I ordered the beet salad, linguine, and the 6 Oz steak. Rhe beet salad had so much potential, but no dressing 4/5. The linguine was kind of bland, 3/5 . The steak was bizarre. It came with mash potatoes, secret sauce and broccoli. No idea what the secret sauce was cause it tasted terribly and the steak was chewy, 2/5. Very disappointing. The service staff was delightful and polite. read more

Food was quite good! Tons of options here! I enjoyed the chicken parm, the pesto linguine that came with it was probably the best part! Margarita pizza was great as well. Service was good, staff were friendly. There is a bar and small seating area downstairs that I believe is the same business and then a larger floor space upstairs that overlooks the strip which is very cool! (Can't remember if I saw an elevator to the 2nd floor or not so if that's something you require I'd call and ask). Got to Banff late tonight and this was the only place serving food past 10pm which made it our first stop of the trip! Looking forward to trying out all the other restaurants this week! read more

We came in pretty late from a long day and happened to luck out with late night happy hour. We definitely over ordered but we took the rest to go and it made for even better left overs. Loved the poutine and that it came with waffle fries! Def a larger portion than I was expecting! The pork belly app was tender and might have been my favorite dish! The burger with jam was delicious and loved the different elements. Sweet potato fries were great too. The bolognese also really hit the spot. Our server was really friendly and helpful as well. It wasn't too busy so we got seated right away and service was pretty quick! Would def come back again after a long day! And they are open a little later than other restaurants! read more

From other comments and our experience, I feel like this could be a hit or miss. We walked in because the menu looked pretty good. The place looks very new and everything is nice. Our server was so sweet but we could tell she was so busy. They had just opened the outside seating but were short staffed so she had to keep going in and out. The salad we got and pasta were pretty good. The spinach and artichoke dip was good however the chips were not really cooked. It was a little strange. We told our server because they were so soft and hard to bite through and she brought us more which were a little better but some were still super soft. She was so sweet and took them off our bill because she said they weren't supposed to be like that. We also ordered Banff burgers to go which were good. I think they might be new and starting to get everything worked out. But pretty good and hopefully getting even better! read more

Maybe I was ravenous from a long hike, or maybe this place was truly a grand slam. Amazing ambience. If you're smart, you'll ask for a booth by the window and check out the rugged mountains as you feast. Got the poutine with bison short rib to start. How could you go wrong with waffle fries in a meaty gravy sauce and cheese curds? We followed with the burgers. Amazing sear on them and they were all dressed with high quality spread and vegetables. Even the salads were popping with flavor. Our server seemed a bit new and aloof, but the others seemed to be handling the dinner rush. Didn't affect the experience much. Overall I would recommend a visit. read more

Had the burger with sweet potato fries, portions were big, and the fries were great! Burger was decent overall. Poutine was okay, would probably try it elsewhere if i could. Service was fast and it wasn't too busy during the week. Nice spot if you're looking for a solid meal in Banff. read more

Service here was great! Our waitress came over to help us as she saw the regular waiter/waitress for our area was so swamped and we were waiting a little longer than their expectations. The food is decent bar/pub food. I had the smash burger and it was about what I'd expect. My parents enjoyed their food as well. Their bison burger had a great crisp/crunchy texture that I'm not sure what it was from (maybe the sear on the patty). The poutine gravy was a little salty though only thing I'd dock points for. Sitting outside for lunch in September was awesome. Great vibe and scenery to eat lunch in. We saw a bunch of dogs walking by which is always nice. Made me miss my dog back home. Chill place to grab a bite. read more

When other rest's close at 9pm on Banff Ave, head here from 9pm-11pm for their late night happy hour menu. Stumbled upon this bc I was frustrated rest'ts closed at 9pm, and was walking the side streets. Get the poutine w braised short ribs-SO good! The happy hour pizza is smaller, but perfect for 1 person. Rounded meal out w a side caesar salad. Great service from the bar too! read more

My family and I visited Banff for 9 days and happened to stop in The Boss to get out of the rain. Wow. I'm so glad the rain pushed us in this restaurant. We visited The Boss four more times during our stay. The pizza was our favorite. It was perfectly cooked and the crust is salted. Service was very friendly and the owner stopped by to check on us to see if we were happy with everything. The whole place is very clean, and the top floor could accommodate our party at a large round table. We are going to be dreaming of the Boss until we can get back to Banff! read more

We stopped into The Boss for drinks and appetizers. Our bartender was extremely attentive and gave great drink recommendations. We liked how there were options to sit at either the downstairs or upstairs bar - we chose upstairs. The interior is chic and contemporary - it was the perfect place to stop before a night out! read more

Checked out The Boss in Banff, which just opened this week. The place still looked brand new and had a clean, open feel. Not totally our vibe, but it was nice enough. We both started with an espresso martini. It wasn't amazing, but it was alright. For food, we had burgers, one spicy chicken and one with a regular beef patty. The maple syrup on the burger wasn't really our thing, but others might like the sweet touch. Service was super friendly and made the visit pleasant overall. Curious to see how the place grows over time. read more

The Boss Kitchen & Bar - Calamari - Bars Near Me - Banff, Alberta

Many restaurants think they are accommodating those of us looking for vegan friendly items by offering the same item - the Impossible burger. Predictable, and worn out. It's a half-assed attempt at satisfying this part of their clientele. On top of the fact that it doesn't differentiate them, why would I want to dine out only to order something I can buy at the grocery store!! Impossible burger I'm sure loves that everyone offers the same item, but doesn't make dining out something to look forward to. read more

Service and ambiance are top notch. Friendly wait staff and table greeters. They share their favorite local nature spots and are upbeat and personable. The poutine with chicken was borderline inedible. The chicken was funky parts of chicken with an odd taste. the poutine without the chicken would have been a 3 but the chicken was so bad it made the poutine a 1. The poutine wasn't served warm enough either. The beer was smooth and cold. The prime rib sandwich was served hot with hot fresh delicious fries. The sandwich was probably a 3 - beef was ok but not seasoned very well. Given the convenient location coupled with the ambiance and waitstaff - giving the restaurant a three rating despite the abysmal poutine. read more

In Calgary this week and really wanted to visit Banff while I was in town. Drove up today for lunch but had no idea where I wanted to go. Happened to park near The Boss so I thought I'd give it a shot. So glad I did. The bison burger was amazing and the maple old-fashioned was one of the best old-fashions I've ever had (the ice cube was definitely unique). Highly recommend you check it out if you are in Banff. read more

Terrible service and mediocre food. It didn't seem very busy but the service was so slow. Calamari was terrible, my hot chicken sandwich was just ok. The restaurant itself was pretty cool with outdoor seating that offered great views. read more

We had two great experiences at The Boss. When we arrived, we set to find a place to eat and chanced upon the Boss. The staff could not have been friendlier, accommodating or helpful. Ryan seated us, and came back to check on us several times. Bonnie, our server the first visit, was great at talking about the dishes, and cautioned me the spicy chicken tacos were spicy, and suggested the aioli be on the side so I could try and taste. The food was delicious and with such friendly staff, we came back another night and Freya was our server. Again, she was friendly and personable with a great knowledge of the food. We were delighted to also see Bonnie again. The second floor has some great views and the ground floor was more sports bar feeling with three tvs tuned to the Jays/Dodgers game. read more

All of the above. Chairs miserable outside. Food overcooked and wait staff super bored with their job. I do not recommend. Oh and couldn't get the check without asking. read more

Great unique tasty pizzas, but will also make a kids size pizza for the little ones. Large local beer selection and excellent service!

The food was great and Sam was incredibl. I would come here all the time if I could. I had the Elk Bolognese.

Wanted to love this place but the combo of super long wait for food (45 mins from order to table) and receiving my steak undercooked made that impossible. Seemed like the restaurant was melting down a bit as several customers complaining about wait time for food and others cancelling their order. Pick elsewhere. read more
