What a great find! 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

I was honestly super excited to try the food here. I was VERY let down. Nothing is seasoned, fries weren't cooked all the way through, nothing had any flavour. Only ate it because I was hungry, but didn't enjoy any of it :( 10/10 don't recommend read more

What a lovely sweet find along 10 Ave! Was in the area for medical travel and found this burger spot across from MEC. The ranch burger and milkshake would of been more than enough for me (as that was a very hefty burger!) but also tried their smash browns (big potato chunks crisped up and super delicious enough to take home the remainder). I really liked the layout and lighting in the restaurant but as an added bonus, there is also a patio out back (I think you still need to go inside to order at the counter though) and free 3 hr parking for those eating there. I didn't realize about the parking until after I was done my appointment (that would of saved me from struggling with paying for parking on an old iphone that doesn't like indigo QR links...). So now I know for next trip to Calgary this is the spot to stop. Also, just an extra nod to the the two working (I believe they both were owners). Super friendly, will chat or leave you to enjoy your meal and really went the extra step with bringing out the good hot sauce and ketchup even before the meal was ready. read more

Arrived in Calgary late on a Wednesday night and wanted to get something close to the hotel so ordered take out right before they closed. My wife had an Italian panini (4-stars) and I had the brunch burger (5-stars). A huge order of fries came with the burger and we shared them but still couldn't finish them all. Great meal, friendly service! read more

Thank you for the delicious food and good service, Amazing, I have no more words, thank you

If that burger is made in house and fresh, I have a bridge I'd like to sell you! Definitely a frozen, store bought patty.

Holy Grill was featured on TV and I had this place bookmarked since 2017. I didn't get a chance to try this place until recently. Their prices are reasonable and their portion is huge. But I think you have to be either a sandwich, wrap or panini person to really love the food here. Don't get me wrong. I am not saying I don't like it. I just prefer something warm and hearty. Everything is made fresh in house. This place doesn't have much service. You order your food up front and they will bring it to your table. Everything else is self serve. The restaurant is somewhat small. They do have 2 other locations and this locations is their first. I will come back to try their burger. They have burgers special after 4 pm till closing. Free parking is out at the back. read more

Holy Grill this place is good! I've actually eaten here once before per my coworkers recommendation. Today I opted for delivery while working from home and it was delivered very quickly! I got the Mr Chicken Panini (again) which I believe is one of their crowd favorites. Portion size is huge and quality is great. Their side of fries are also delicious. I think I've tried their sweet potato chips before as well and they were amazing. read more

The Holy Grill - Mr Chicken Panini + Fries - Burgers Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Change of ownership I think. The portions seem to be getting progressively smaller unfortunately. I get the chicken wrap w/ bacon & tomato very good. Service is a bit confusing. They give you a vibrating disk to let you know that your food is ready but they serve you when it vibrates. The place is nice and bright, high ceilings and lots of tables. I have to go again to confirm portion reductions. read more

I really like their Eggs Benny. I went here years ago when they were at their best and was featured on You Gotta Eat Here. Their Egg Bennys and hash browns were fantastic. Since then I moved to Toronto and just recently returned back to Calgary. I ordered take out from this place and will honestly admit take out is not the same quality. Obviously the food was a tad cold by the time I ate it. Therefore, I will need to come back after the pandemic for Dine in. read more

5 stars for a fast and high quality breakfast that was close to our hotel in downtown Calgary! We were looking for breakfast sandwiches and outdoor seating and Holy Grill checked off all boxes. A little more on the fast casual side, you can order up at the grill and then your food gets delivered to the table. On a Friday morning there was plenty of available seating outside. We caught the tail end of breakfast - at 11 am the grill menu switches over from breakfast to lunch! I ordered a bacon egg and cheese on an english muffin and it was perfect, simple and delicious. I also threw in a side of home fries which came with frizzled onions and parm cheese - interesting way to serve them but delicious nonetheless. The breakfast paninis looked tasty but way too big for breakfast, I'm glad that I stuck with a sandwich. Not much more to say because this is a quick and easy trip, but I highly suggest for breakfast or lunch if you want a fast and delicious breakfast or lunch. read more

The food was delicious and the portions are HUGE! You get a lot of bang for your buck here. The staff is super friendly. Know to order your food at the counter first and they will bring it to your table after. Not your typical restaurant service with servers. Regardless, a beautiful space to eat in. read more

Wow this chicken burger was delicious. They have gluten free bread that is very soft and yummy. The service was wonderful. The only reason I give this 4 stars is that the garlic Parmesan fries were far too garlicky. Still good but I was tasting garlic for hours afterwards. Will return when I go back to Calgary. read more

I saw this place on "you gotta eat here" and they were raving about the smashbrowns and the breakfast so naturally I thought there must be something special about this place! Sadly I was disappointed - I got there at noon and they stop serving breakfast at 11...disappointment #1 Add that to the fact that the ordering process is somewhat strange (you have to order the food yourself and then go pick it up yourself, get your own cutlery and water, which if the food was phenomenal, I wouldn't mind so much...let the foreshadowing begin) So I thought ok, since this is a grill let me try the burger - loaded burger, with fried egg and bacon replaced with avocado and fries replaced with smashbrowns - it was nice of them to accommodate me but...the burger, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't delicious either - a normal average burger (disappointment #2). The smashbrowns were a huge let down! I'm not sure what the guy on you gotta eat here was talking about since these tasted like regular fried potatoes (disappointment #3)...in short, I didn't have to eat here I might try it again for breakfast but I might opt for an all day breakfast diner instead...I haven't decided yet read more

shop so tasty that you'll want to revisit religiously. Atmosphere: 3/5 - Modern & sleek. Decent lighting. Seating is limited & the spacing between seats is tight. Price: $$$/5 - On the higher side of average. Customer Service: 4/5 - Servers were polite. Service speed was on the faster side of average. Location: 5/5 - Easily accessible, within walking distance to many great Calgary attractions Taste: 4/5 - Meat is tender & juicy. Bun is very tasty. Fries & chips are good. Menu: 4/5 - Menu is on the smaller side with only a few unique items. Might not please fussy eater. Vegan + Vegetarian + Gluten Free friendly. Sustainability: 3/5 - Couldn't find info on ingredient sourcing. Supports Brown Bagging for Calgary's Kids Society. Blessings - Tasty, nice location. Sins - Limited seating. Good items to buy: Blackened chicken burger, Homemade dip, Sausage Nicmuffin. Summary: 3.8/5 - Overall, I would recommend stopping by Holy Grill. They have some great tasting burgers & breakfast sandwiches. Their menu is small with a few unique items and as a result may not please a fussy eater. I love that they support Brown Bagging for Calgary's Kids Society but feel like they could be doing more. The one area I think they could improve in is by using local Canadian ingredients. Thank you for taking the time to read my review and I hope it helps you!! read more

If I could give negative stars I would. When I learned that management/owners collect all the tips and pay out employees once a month that made me suspicious. Hearing that a server who had worked 20 shifts was given $200.00 for the month made me completely lose my appetite for this business. I did check on the legality and unfortunately it is legal ( just gross and immoral) I cannot think this is anything but theft and taking advantage of young employees. SHAME SHAME SHAME. I will personally never grace their doors again. read more

Love this place. One of the top burgers in Calgary. My goto is the gourmet burger with avocado and blue cheese. If not in a burger mood the Mr Chicken panini is good. It is rather large with 7 oz of chicken, roasted red peppers, bacon, tomato and onion. Don't miss the homemade beet chips, mmmm. Great lunch spot. Can get busy at lunch so go early read more

I always say a burger joint is as good as its meat. This place has great meat, not overly spiced, simple and to the point! A Hamburger does not need to contain 52 ingredients to be great. These people get it, unless I order the specialty burger ...simple is best. The bun was fresh. The REAL Cheese slice was an ample amount melted to perfection. I know now why this place comes highly recommended! Now imagine if I try something fancy, I think I would be in for a treat!! Well deserved 5 stars* * * * * read more

Order from Holy Grill for brunch this past weekend from skip the dishes. I got the Farmhouse with a side of fries. The portions were massive and i was able yo split it into 2 meals. The wrap was nicely grilled and crispy, i picked out some of the tomatoes because it started to get too juicy. Overall it was good, the fries where cooked perfectly and a bit limpy in the middle, just how i like it. read more

I've had a long standing love affair with The Holy Grill going on 12 years now. What really blows me away is the same guys are still there giving the same over the top friendly attention to their customers as they ever have. How is this possible? Well, there's no act to put on. They're the most genuine, nicest guys who make the most genuine, meanest panini! In a rush? they'll have your fresh food ready before you can even get your wallet out. I swear this place invented sweet potato/yam chips for Calgary. Even if they didn't, they sure well set the standard. 3 Words. Blackened Chicken Panini. Why isn't this on the menu?! The Blackened Chicken Burger and the Mr. Chicken Panini are both solid. This would be one super sexy hybrid! read more

Mmm, mmm, mmm! Holy Grill is a great lunch place with delicious food and wonderful service. I'd always heard people talk about it and finally decided to head there myself. Sapna G. speaks no word of a lie. This place truly does have some of the nicest people I've ever encountered at a restaurant. It seems the employees are always trying to make everyone's experience as pleasurable as possible, and they really pull it off. It's nice to see a bunch of workers who don't hate their lives. The thing I loved most about the Holy Grill was the beet chips. I was a little hesitant to try them, since they look weird and purplish, but they turned out to be so scrumptious! I also love that most of their burgers come with two patties... that's right, TWO patties! I skeptically tried the "Gourmet Burger" when I went. I say skeptically because there was blue cheese and I've never been a fan... but I wanted the avocado so I went for it. I was surprised that, unlike other blue cheese meals, the taste wasn't too overpowering and actually gave it a nice taste. I'll be going back to Holy Grill to try some other food. I had such a difficult time making up my mind last time because everything seemed like it would be so delicious and really hit the spot. And, for a well-sized meal for under $10, how can you go wrong? read more

Oh Holy Grill, how is it that even after four years of frequenting you for lunches, you still get it right. EVERY SINGLE DAMN TIME! You've got panini world down to a mad science. Your line moves quickly. Your booming voices ensure no one misses their order once its ready. You were the very first business I ever reviewed on Yelp, and so I figured it was time for an update. I just had to stop in again today for a bite to eat. It's typical of me to be in here with friends, I gotta share the love. And on such occasions, we usually split an order of yam chips as well. But today, I was on the go. And so a country side panini was all I could handle. Capricciosa ham and provolone cheese. It's a simply sammy, but perfect for something to keep me going the rest of the afternoon. What I STILL haven't been in for is breakfast. But don't worry, I'll make sure I change that very soon! read more

What a delicious breakfast and busy little restaurant! I love that you can get both breakfast and lunch at the same time for I am a breakfast person and bf is definitely a typical guy, he loves his burgers. I would come back to this place in a heart beat. I don't like hasbrowns usually but I liked these ones so definitely make sure you try them! My eggs benedict was great, I gobbled it all up. This is a pretty trendy place, more of an upscale "fast food" joint. I use the term "fast food" loosely because the food is way better than any fast food place. You may have to fight for a place to sit though it's pretty popular here! I can't wait to come back to Calgary so I can go to this place again! read more

Great food. I'm happy to have discovered this place and a little disappointed that I hadn't sooner. I have been to The Holy Grill twice in the past week, the first time for a take-out lunch and the second for a sit-in mid-afternoon "lunch". Both times the service has been quick and the food quite tasty! I have tried their Blackened Chicken Burger, New Californian Panini, Bacon Avocado Crisp, and their Yam Chips. Every meal was full of flavour and the presentation was great. So far the Bacon Avocado Crisp is my favourite but that might change as I foresee myself having many more lunches here. I would recommend this place to anybody looking for a great place to eat. read more

If you have not yet been to The Holy Grill, grab your bag, grab a friend and get there already. I had heard raving reviews about the place, but like any TRUE critic, I wanted to see for myself what all the fuss was about. Not ONLY are the gentlemen that work there some of the NICEST guys around, but daaaammmmn, can they ever serve up a DELICIOUS meal! I tried the Sicilian Panini (zucchini, yams, eggplant and provolone cheese) and I dreamt about it last night. No word of a lie. The panini itself is a generous size and it's completely reasonable for a downtown lunch! I'm talkin' 8 bucks and your stomach & tastebuds will thank you for days on end. So here's what I'm saying: Holy Grill is as good as it gets and it's time you got there. read more

Nice play on words Holy Grill! Today with the sudden impending snow and colder weather, my cousin and I huddled for warmth and a good breakfast at the Grail. I mean the Grill. With the light snowfall and the view of MEC across the street one could even imagine themselves being at a mountain chalet. The waitress was top notch, polite, quick and courteous, we ordered two Pacific Benedict, which is the usual suspect plus a nice portion of salmon. They had actually brought us two regular Bennys, apologised for the mix up... but it was truly worth the wait. Let me just say they were perfect, the poached eggs were done exquisitely, both holding their forms; and with the hint of lemon in the salmon and hollandaise sauce it was magnifique! The highlight of my meal however was the potato wedges/chips that came with the meal. Nice and crunchy, not oily. I could come in, just order a bag of these, sit in the corner and I would truly be a happy camper. The space is really nice too, it is a small breakie place but done up just right, the grill to the right when you walk in, with the cafe space to the left, done up with beige colours, artwork and black covered tables. Pretty simple but looking nice and elegant. I would definitely come back and try something else here and recommend you do too. Holy Grill is the Holy Grail. read more

I have been here three times now so safe to say that I LOVE this place. The portions are huge, the food is delicious, and the breakfast is also tasty. The only things I don't like about it are: 1) the line to order can easily get unweildy and confusing, so just be aware of that during the lunch rush and 2)they have super limited hours. Both of those things, though, are totally understandable and the food is so good that I will still give this place 5-stars. This is a sandwich/burger place in the best way possible. Everything is made on a grill and is made to order. The menu features a variety of burgers (veggie included) with a creative and traditional toping list. I have had the traditional burger, a roast beef panini and the eggs benedict (with salmon). I have also had both the regular fries and the sweet potato chips. Everything was delicious and fresh. I cannot wait to go back and sample the beet chips. This isn't necessarily the sort of place where you go with a large group, I must say. The tables can be pushed together, but seating is pretty limited so it can be a challenge. I would, however, recommend this place either for a quick lunch or brunch any day of the week. read more
