Thursday wing night. Great wings for a great price. The lemon pepper and mango flavors were the best.
First time here. Visiting from Calgary. Lori was a great host. She was cheerful and helpful. I had the ultimate bacon cheese burger. Best ever, real 100% Home-made Alberta Beef. Fresh crispy fries. Excellent meal. If you love good burgers you have got to give In Cahoots a try. The very best ever!
Best service in town hands down! All the girls that work here don’t ever let you get thirsty or hungry! Mallory and Saige are the best! Highly recommend the mushroom caps and any or all flavours of wings and shrimp!

Plaka is such an amazing place to eat with great staff and tasty food you want real Greek food I would go here again, the only reason I’m giving atmosphere a bit less stars is because there was a group of 10 adults who came in a 6pm who where very rude loud and swearing I felt so bad for the owner who was doing her best to keep them happy, but they must have just been the kind of people who complain to complain or want something cheaper, other then that a great night of food and great service would absolutely go again and tell people about it!
The food is amazing! We had calamari salad and mix grilled, tzatziki and a delicious chocolate martini- the atmosphere was super nice! Sylvia an absolute wonder! We will definitely go back.
Just back from supper at Plaka tonight, and what a pleasant experience. The food was delicious and the service was superb. I eat out a lot, and it’s been not that easy to find above-average places lately, but Plaka for sure lived up to expectations tonight and may have even exceeded them a little
Mama’s Restaurant Okotoks is a warm and inviting dining establishment that celebrates the rich culinary traditions of home-cooked meals. Located in the heart of Okotoks, o…
This place a gem hidden in a very unexpected location. I have driven by it for years with no desire based on outward appearance to come inside - but I was so wrong! This place is amazing! The lasagna is amazing and huge (could feed two!). They don’t make the meat sauce spicy on purpose to appeal to a wider group of people (I discussed it with the owners) but you can add some chilly flakes and get to your desired level of seasoning with little issue. This is a nice thoughtful gesture. The BLT was amazing also, generous in size and delicious too. The pizza we ordered was very nice. Perfect crust, generous cheese but not drowning. Tasted very fresh. Everything was hot, we had to let it cool down before eating, which was hard to do as the garlic toast aromatics was begging us to not wait any longer. The jalapeño popper pizza was nice and spicy and an amazing experience (if you like the heat!). The place was clean. If they had a bit more curb appeal this place would be packed every night, it’s definitely a “locals know it’s great” kind of place. You should have no concerns in trying food from here ( we ate in ). Enjoy!!
Ordered tonight and got 2 pizzas. One was the mama’s mistake which was really good. The other was called the Benjamin, the pizza came with minimal to no sauce. When we called, we were told on the phone that it was the normal amount of sauce. I have never had a pizza with such little sauce. It should have a bbq/Alfredo sauce mix but you can see in the picture, looks like no sauce.I would have no be problem ordering from here again but very disappointed with the one pizza and customer service.
Mama's has been a staple of Okotoks dining for the 20+ years I've lived in Okotoks and I recently got a chance to order once again. Simple Farmers pizza and a small seafood fettuccine and as always, the food was fantastic. It's NOT chain pizza and pasta, it's not bundled with other add ons in a combo at a bargain price - because it's SO much better! The food was hot and portioned largely enough that we both had two meals from the order. From the friendly woman who answered the phone to take the order, to the food showing up hot and fresh, it was fantastic as always!

The service was terrible & when 4 servers are standing around chatting with each other in a fairly empty restaurant, you tend to get upset. Especially when you have an issue with your food. Khiannon who was the manager on duty made everything better. Back of the house should not put out food that is not acceptable. After the fix the meal was delicious. Once again thank you Khiannon for making it right.
Thank you Katie and Drew for making sure everything I ordered was prepared safely and Gluten Free. ( thank you kitchen staff) The burger and cowboy salad was delicious. My daughter and I had a lovely time, we will definitely be back.
It was such an amazing and cozy place. I have been there with my friends ,it is good for families as well as couples. Food, services, and the atmosphere are also really good . There is an indoor as well as an outdoor patio area. An outdoor patio is opened in winter as well .

Friendly staff... but the food was a bit stale, and it felt like ingredients sat way too long. Considering the price, it should have been fresh. Inside had some cool features, but it was a pretty typical lunch-shop vibe. Tables need leveling, though. Will try again one day!
We looked online to see which place in Okotoks seemed to serve the best Shawarma. Based on the review, it appeared this was the place to try. It didn't disappoint. The food was incredible, full of flavors with large portions. Both young men who looked after us were personable and very helpful. I highly recommend the lamb Shawarma.
This is a small Mediterranean restaurant in okotoks. We ordered chicken shawarma wrap & chicken touk plate. The food was delicious, but the service was a little bit slow. There is outside seating available, too. Washroom was clean. There is a small parking lot close to the restaurant.

Visiting friends in Okotoks and they took us to Hub Town Brewing for some good beers. What a place! We had some great, local beers (a fantastic IPA) and played some very competitive games of corn hole, which was great fun. Great space, great atmosphere/setting and great company. Wish we’d been there when the food trucks were there, as we’ve heard good things. We’ll just have to make sure we come back next time we’re in town.
The selection of drinks was interesting. They have non-alcoholic options, but nothing with alcohol that doesn't contain beer. Their selection of food trucks seems interesting enough. There was a fire cooked pizza truck when we were there that had an amazing selection.
Has a great experience with our new born and dog, a very solid set of beers and beautiful venue. Only suggestion I can add is with so many kids there on Sunday afternoon maybe you guys would consider a change table in one of the bathrooms Overall keep up the great brewing!

Recently stopped in on a Saturday night and enjoyed the $16 Classic night with live music and have to say they have the most delicious chicken parm that I have ever had..the only thing that would have made it better would be to pair it with pasta instead of mashed potatoes or rice, although the mashed potatoes were tasty with the George schnitzel I would have loved to have pasta with the parm. The raspberry cocktail was also delicious. Will definitely be back again.
Thanks for the great service Lucy. ~~~~~ Thanks for the great service. ~~~~~ Great service, great people, great bar/restaurant. ~~~~~ Aaaaahhhhhh a refreshing cold pint on a smokin’ hot day. ~~~~~ Thank you John for the fantastic night.

On the menu, it said big snitsel and most of the time we think, yeah, sure. But they were right it was big and good as well. The portions are big enough and the price is right. Good job, and thanks for having us

Cost for quality & quantity needs improvement. Was supposed to be double portion of fries... But didn't seem that way when we received our meals. The chicken wrap was way too much lettuce & absolutely not enough chicken. Was way too expensive for what you received. I basically had lettuce, sauce with a small amount of chicken when I was told by the waitress it is a full chicken breast... Ya no. It absolutely was not. Needs flavor also. The crispy chicken burger was worth the cost, just needs some more toppings. The beef burger was also worth the price. Way too loud inside for sound to conversation volume. Patio option was much quieter however, too close to other tables. My waitress amazing & knowledgeable on the menu.
I recently dined at Original Joe's, and it was a nice experience from start to finish. The service was nice, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was delicious, portion sizes were great. I left really full and it didn't break the bank Overall, Original Joe's offers a delightful dining experience with great food, excellent service, and a nice setting. I recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal in a welcoming environment.
Good food and service. ~~~~~ Food was good. ~~~~~ Thank you for the surprise change of service Caitlyn! Great attentive, prompt service and a super easy going personality. ——————— Food quality is consistent. Servers hit and miss, mostly a miss. Good place to visit.

Ate here back in 2017. It's been 7 years since then. Same old good food and good service. We ordered shrimp bowl with beer. Spicy but great taste. (We were too excited to eat here again and we both missed "spicy" sign on the menu. lol)
WOW, the restaurant was busy tonight. We grabbed the last available table and to our surprise we were served incredibly fast. Our meals were fantastic once again. Pho Hoai never disappoints with any dish. Thank you for stopping to chat Lyndsey, we know you were run off your feet so the quick chat was nice! We WILL be back! ~~~~~ Incredibly fresh subs! Do not miss grabbing a couple! ~~~~~ Great meal again, thank you. ~~~~~ Excellent food and service again. ~~~~~ Great food and great service! ~~~~~ Another fantastic meal. Thank you! ~~~~~ Back again for a super great meal. Fast and friendly service. ~~~~~ Pho Hoai NEVER disappoints. Their soups to sandwiches and more are ALWAYS fresh and deeeeeeeelicious.
I've been here multiple times now and I still can't get enough. Having been to Vietnam a couple years back and searching for food close to what it was like there had been a challenge until I came here. We usually get the vermicelli bowls and the banh mis but I've also gotten the pho and they are all delicious!! The main thing I like about this place is the consistency. It's always good!! If you are ever going through or visiting okotoks don't sleep on this place because it's a winner! I also don't know any places where you can get sandwiches around $10 anymore so give it a shot.

Well, this didn’t go well. Father’s day and it was busy as expected. Wasn’t expecting that it would be an hour for food. The servers were working hard but obviously they needed more staff here. We ordered drinks, and my usual beer Belgian Moon was out, which happens every single time I go to any Brewhouse location. Our food came, two orders of breakfast poutine, buffalo chicken poutine, eggs benny and a free dry ribs appy. The chicken poutine came about 7-8 minutes later than the rest of the food. For Father’s day, an appy was supposed to be free. We had to remind them the dry ribs we ordered, which arrived later. All our poutines didn’t have cheese curds, one of the three key ingredients of a poutine, they subbed a meager amount of shredded cheese. The breakfast poutines on the menu described multiple kinds of bacon, which they didn’t have. My poutine had zero bacon. None at all. I dug all around and there was nothing. When I let the server know, she took it and brought it back with about one strip of bacon chopped up. Certainly none of the other bacon or cheese curds the menu described. See the attached photo. All of the food was barely warm. The shredded cheese didn’t melt at all. These were all poutine crimes. We paid, without realizing we were charged for the free appetizer, but after almost two hours in total waiting and eating, we gave up and left. I wouldn’t recommend this place when they are busy or on holidays. Service and food quality in restaurants has been going down while tipping expectations are going up, and this Canadian Brewhouse is a prime example. A terrible waste of time on Father’s day unfortunately.
Came here to grab the free garlic fingers from signing up on the app and good lord, I can't imagine possibly spending $19 DOLLARS on these regularly. They were undercooked, and all the bacon was in the middle. The server was very kind and got us another plate. Apart from the service, this place is a scam.
Been here a few times 50% most times was not the greatest . But tonight we had amazing server she was great got our drinks fast. Came back and checked on us a few times got our food out to us quick. And got us refill before we had our drinks empty. Servers name is England

We had a family dinner of 9 at Williams on the weekend. It was awesome…….every dish was so tasty and full of flavour. I especially want to comment on the service……Debbie, you were a fantastic server. So efficient and so much fun!
Got here and hour and a half before close , ordered a btl of wine that they just plopped on the table I had to open it and pour it my self Then ordered an apply and steak. Our waitress never asked how we wanted our steak then came back and said the kitchen won’t cook steak tonight because they are almost off And straight up said no. So we just ordered an extra appy. Then 4 more tables walked in. Just terrible service and kitchen staff
We had our anniversary dinner with you. The food was awesome….every dish was full of flavour. However your wine list needs to be expanded particularly the red wine. We will be back!

We were back in town visiting friends and they wanted to go here. We were surprised to find that this used to be our church in the 80s. The atmosphere is great and the service is excellent. The food presentation is well done. I had the Turkey sandwich with cauliflower soup. The sandwich was good but had too much sauce that took away from the flavor of the turkey, and the soup had a nice flavor but was less creamy than I would like. If I had paid $14 for the meal, I would not mention this, but for over $25, I expect more attention to detail.
The place is an absolute gem, location is beautiful and the food is very high quality (difficult to find in Calgary). Allison served us and she’s amazing, she knew it was my dad’s birthday and she brought him a candle and a complimentary glass of wine. 100% recommend, promise you will not be disappointed!
Heartland Cafe was simply amazing today! Beautiful and flavourful creations, great service from all staff (thanks Greg!), and lovely ambiance! Had the chance to try their seafood special (salmon from Torino for me today), which was excellent! Looking forward to a return trip!

We went here for the first time today & enjoyed a delicious breakfast! My son LOVED his hot chocolate! I was delighted to find spätzel in their freezer section too! Not only did we have a fantastic breakfast, we bought spätzel, chicken schnitzel and mushroom sauce from their premade section for a dinner this week! We will 100% be back!
Staff was super friendly although they asked us to pay upfront before we sit down. That didn’t give us the chance to evaluate the experience before we gave the tip so I gave 20%. Knowing what the experience was I probably wouldn’t have given that much. Food was mediocre. Sandwich was dry, mushroom soup was amazing. ‘Large’ salad was like a small salad in my mind but whatever. Prices are not cheap at all. 16 bucks for a sandwich that costs buck fifty to make and it was super dry. Got me a maple syrup latte and I got a brewed coffee with whipped cream and dazzle of maple syrup on top full of ice. Choices of food are super limited. Would not come back.
I was so proud and pleased to have Sweetgrass deli cater my event that I held at my home. Aaron went out of his way. Absolutely amazing! I highly recommend Sweetgrass. The food and service was outstanding!
