    Frikadellar
    Cyn D.

    Since my last review, still very good. Dined in for the first time, food is great! Service is welcoming. There is parking out front but it can be tight so you may want to park on the street. Everyone in my party enjoyed their food.

    Absolutely loved the meatball dish because every single bit of it was amazing. The flavours were so delightful and warming. The gravy especially was so delicious. Hadn't had anything like this, and this dish exceeded my expectations. The grilled cheese with saskatoon berries were also really delicious!

    Akvavit and smorrebrod
    Brenda S.

    This place is great! Love the Danish theme and smorrebrod options. I want to come back and try the abelskiver at brunch but I was here midweek so I didn't get the chance. The frikadeller was on point. I'm used to the traditional Aalborg akvavit with smorrebrod but they had a 100th anniversary one that was quite good as well. Will definitely return next time I find myself in Edmonton :)

    I keep coming back to this place & still have the same love for the atmosphere, food & ability to visit with friends. Granted I might have automatically loved the place as there's very limited options for dining out that has Scandinavian food, let alone a bigger focus on Danish food. Parking is limited & tight but in front of the restaurant but there's street parking (and I heard if you tell the waitstaff you parked elsewhere you could get a voucher but do check that for yourself as I don't know if that's only for summer). It might not have much for parking, but to have such a dog friendly patio is wonderful. Most times I've gone to 3 Vikings during winter, as they have such hearty meals with my favourite Danish meatballs (frikadeller), mashed potatoes, gravy (that I never find too salty) & red cabbage. There's always a selection of Scandinavian inspired open faced sandwiches too. Those that love beers, you'll be happy with a large selection. Most recently, I had eaten here in late summer. I had the fish & frikadeller as mini sliders & I was very happy to see the red cabbage was accompanying the frikadeller on the slider. That combo is classic for me. The fish was light & had the perfect amount of crunch with the raw cabbage/coleslaw as a patio snack. They have great tasting fries but the popcorn... try it. That nutritional yeast, garlic oil & whatever else they have on it makes you want to not share! Dessert - always leave room for it here. Just trust me on that. They usually have pastries on the menu (my first choice & never disappointed with the saskatoon berry one) but if it's not there, go for the rice pudding. Those that had store bought rice pudding, this is not the same. This is thick with fresh cream, deliciously filling & is always topped with berry sauce (& this visit was with candied nuts, I'm assuming it was almonds as that's very typical). Traditional rice pudding in Denmark (usually served for Christmas) has one full almond amongst the slivers of almonds within the rice pudding bowl. At Christmas, it is a game & dessert combo. So we see who can find the almond quickest yet not too quick. As we want most of the rice pudding to be eaten. With the restaurant potion size, it could be a shareable dessert but honestly, go big. Tell the SO or friend to order their own. ;) For my limited accessible friends, there is a variation of seating heights, the floor inside for the most part is one level but getting past those vehicles... they park right up front (due to limited parking spots) & might be really tricky for someone in a wheelchair or a walker to enter. I know I even had to step over a parking curb to get past the vehicle to the patio. I always mean to check the door for accessible opening button but it never fails someone is at the door opening/holding it for me & this time I was on the patio (you don't need to go inside to enter patio). It's been ages since I've spent long enough time here that I needed to use the washroom before leaving but from what I remember (pre-pandemic so this is awhile ago) there wasn't any huge barriers getting to the washroom. I promise to be more diligent & confirm that next time I'm back there. Anyways, go check it out if you haven't yet. I think you'll enjoy the food & the atmosphere there.

    Finally making time for this place!

    I...liked the food overall just fine? It's definitely on the trendy side with unique offerings and kitsch decor that's not actually Nordic (the larp shield on the wall could pass, maybe, if you don't really pay attention too closely). The salad was something you don't normally find in other restaurants like this and I absolutely appreciated the brightness and freshness it provided. The burger was passable, but I probably would have desecrated it with ketchup if a bottle had been on the table. I desperately needed refills on my Coke but our server was seemingly too busy and even forgot to return to us once after taking my glass away. My dinner companion gave me theirs to tide me over. I'd probably go back as there are options on the menu I was interested in, but it really wouldn't be high on my priority list. Parking is very tight in a small lot and free, but they need to give you a pass to place on your dash. I wished I had more time for dessert because the ice cream shack in the lot next to this place was super tempting...

    smorrebrod two open faced sandwiches they were okay
    Jennie L.

    To me this restaurant is inconsistent. I had a meh experience the first time around, then I had a good experience and then I had another meh experience. I came here because their frikedeller won top 100 things to eat in Edmonton. And thier smorrebord was also mentioned. We didn't realize they had a brunch menu because it was newly developed but they had a frikedeller hashbrown bowl theat was fairly similiar to their other frikedeller meal. It was just adding a sunside egg and changing the mash potatoes to hashbrowns. Also we got the smorrebord which are open faced Danish sandwiches. The ones that were offered had shaved beef and then another meat. They were not memorable. I can't even remember what the meat was. I have had this smorrebord at the Danish cultural center and it was way more flavourful. Actually I had one at Ikea and I have to say, that was more flavourful. They were filling. They didn't skimp on the meat at top, but if it is bland it doesn' matter. The Friki hashbowl was filling and the eggs were properly cooked. However the the Frikadller ground pork was bland. This made top 100 things to eat in Edmonton and I have no idea why. I think the hasbrown bowls at OEB are much more tasty. The last time I came everyone loved their food. But this time not so much. Everything was hit and miss. Portions were filling. Service was okay. Food was bland. I don't pay for just okay. I pay for goode. I probably won't be back.

    I came here with my family for a get together, we didn't know where to go and this was the first place we saw. I was blown away by the service and the atmosphere... never mind the food! The burger was perfectly cooked, my fries were superbly fried. Best bar tender I've ever had, so kind and charismatic! Needless to say this is my new spot !

    I'm definitely far behind on my reviews. I was able to try this place out before moving out of DT. I didn't get to test the patio because it was right in the middle of the heatwave, so we sat inside. I tried some of the Icelandic beer "Brio" - it was good. Definitely more of a lighter taste. I didn't learn much about it though. But I thought I would try a few sips since I've never had it before. Another interesting drink on their menu is Mead. I would like to try that one day too but didn't notice it until I was leaving! I had the grilled cheese and tomato soup. I mean just look at the photo... it was as amazing as it looks. My partner had fish and chips and he said they were great! We had the Indian inspired butter chicken poutine (its just the sauce but no chicken so it is vegetarian) as a starter and it was good but I will say it was incredibly salty. I think the fries are salted on their own, and then they just add the sauce on top. So the sauce just doesn't have that nice butter sauce flavour anymore it is really over powered by the salt. Service was good! Food came out fast. I would definitely return.

    This place is a must for some casual eats and great selection of beer and wine! They just reopened for dine in and they have a great summer patio as well. They have reduced hours at the moment so check before you go! I ordered the March special chicken sandwich with homemade ketchup which was absolutely delicious! The chicken was large and so yummy really hit the spot. The fries were thick cut and crispy and went so well with that homemade ketchup which I devoured. The special also came with a can of Collective Arts IPA that was a special brew with International Women's month! It was so delicious I wanted more hahaha! The special totalled $25 and $3 of that went to support our local women's shelter in Edmonton. A worthy cause and a great price!! I definitely will go back and try other menu items. They have very unique beers and wines as well. If you're looking for a family friendly place to have a bit and a drink on 124st, this is the place! Check them out!

    Fish and Chips and Grilled Cheese!
    Deryck W.

    First time venturing out for phase 2 and we were not disappointed. The Mrs. had the Grilled Cheese with mushroom and bacon and I had the Fish and Chips. It was great and we shared. The batter was light, but crispy, and the fish was tender. The sauce was homemade and great! There was homemade ketchup for the fries as well. Usually coleslaw is an after thought that I don't even touch m, but this slaw was awesome. The veggies were julienned and the dressing nice and light. My wife's Grilled cheese was really good as well. She had the garlic fries which were great. The fries were double cooked which made them crispy and golden on the outside and beautifully fluffy on the inside. Great atmosphere, rockin' the 80's playlist! The Annex Root Beer was on point. Super yummy and great flavour.

    Great patio.
    Charlayne B.

    Service and food are excellent. Great patio for an afternoon pint and chatting with your neighbours.

    Long table platter - $29. Says it is meant for 6-8 people but 2 is more realistic.

    A cozy pub with cozy pub food - I really like it here! They have a lovely patio in the summer in the parking lot, so the atmosphere isn't super tranquil but you get to sit outside. There is also a nice fireplace in the corner and dartboards on a stage where they have live music sometimes. The service has always been great here and we've come a few times for different reasons. If you feel like snacking, there is a long table platter with a variety of things (that popcorn is so addictive) and it's ok value. The ratio of too little vegetables to a giant bowl of hummus was very off though. Less dip, more vegetables please. I also really like their hot dog and their wings! It basically looks exactly like the last bar that was in there looked; with a few changes here and there. But ultimately, it's a cozy, dimly lit pub that is a solid choice for the area.

    After spending Saturday morning wandering around the market, we were famished! This was one of these "Where do you wanna eat? When we see it, we'll know." kinda deals. And Three Vikings appeared! I laughed when I checked in on the Yelp app and saw that I had bookmarked this place already! We sat by the open door near the patio and enjoyed the fresh air and people watching. It was pretty quiet when we were here (middle of the afternoon) so the service was stellar. I'm always happy to see a decent selection of craft beer on tap, and they didn't disappoint! I tried a Sea Change blackberry wheat ale (delish!) and hubby had a Village Squeeze lemon berry helles (tart and yummy!) The menu offered a limited selection of items but that's not a bad thing. I'd rather see a "we do a few things, but we do them well" rather than the "we have 479 items on the menu that are ok" philosophy. Hubby ordered the Aussie burger with a few modifications, and I had the BLT Benny. We both enjoyed our meal. The food was tasty and very rich. Would we come back? Yes!

    See all

    Overpriced menu for what is basically standard pub fare. Nothing exceptional. And one of the worst parking lots

We were greeted right away without an option of a menu for a drink. I asked for a menu and got one but then our server didn't return for quite a while. Same thing when we wanted a second round. It was pretty busy, but no one checked up on us or seemed to help our server out. We did see a few others working with her but not checking tables. We shared their most popular pizza it was pretty good. Would recommend their food! Prices are great. Atmosphere was great. I'd come back again.

We almost got up and left. Then it took a while for the food to come out even though it appeared like we were the only ones eating. Then we had to go up and ask for the bill and pay because no one was visible. Not impressed at all. It is cute inside and was nicely decorated for Christmas. Food itself was fine. I had the beef dip. They were skimpier on the meat then previously. The fries and the dip were really tasty. My husband had the chicken sandwich It was tasty but the patty seemed a little small. We are not sure if we hit a bad afternoon but we will give it another shot sometime.

    Wow, what a sweet little place this is! We had intended to do something more elaborate (like…read moretravel) for our 35th anniversary, but we have a sick pet and then my husband was ill for a few days, so we ended up staying close to home. I had read some reviews about this place and wanted to check it out. Husband had the steak sandwich and a root beer as the DD; I had some buffalo wings and one of their smoked Old Fashioneds, the one with the moonshine called the Sherlock. This was one of the best Old Fashioneds I've ever had. Super smooth and delicate flavour; the smoke part was interesting but really not the critical piece for me. The wings were excellent and came with a not very flavourful ranch dressing and a few carrot sticks. Still, I would definitely go back for these wings. Husband had added=cost gravy for his fries and mushrooms for the steak. He remarked that he liked the fried onion strings on top. I had a couple of the fries and they were the coated type that I think should be banned forever, but he was fine with them. The gravy was reasonable without being memorable. We had the sticky toffee dessert to share and the server was kind enough to take a photo for us to remember the special day. The decor overall is pleasant resto pub style with seating arranged to allow for private conversation. The staff all seem focused and professional in their work. Overall, agree with all the positive reviews and I think it might be worthwhile to return and explore more of the menu.
