    This place isn't what it used to be. Disappointing for an old family favorite. Prime rib was thin and underwhelming unfortunately. Heard it is closing in a few weeks, I can see why.

    Friendly wait staff. However, she was very load and announced each tables order in a voice that could be heard across the room. Food was good but expensive. No atmosphere. cramped table when several booths were available. We were in and out in less than 45 minutes.

    Very bright room, not very cozy for a nice restaurant. The food was okay but the mashed potatoes were gluey, the salad bar was old and very minimal and the steak couldn't be done as ordered which is unusual for a steak establishment. The service was good.

    Salad bar (including soup) was by far one of the best I’ve ever had!! My prime rib was not great, in my opinion it had wayyyyy too much fat on it but some people would like that! Overall, everything was very awesome!

    We made a online reservation at 6:45 pm for this restaurant. We specifically choose Bumpers for the salad bar and the dining room. When we arrived we were told no dinner service in the dining room week days! No salad bar. the website shows dining room hours everyday. Super disappointed

    After making a reservation on Open Table we walked in to the restaurant to find the dining room and salad bar closed and only the bar lounge open. There was no mention of that anywhere in any ad or even on Open table that only the bar lounge was the only option but yet their prices did not reflect that. The difference is the salad bar is usually included in the price of your meal. We were disappointed to say the least and quietly made our apologies and left. Air was certainly not up to it’s usual standards. The booth seat was worn and torn and had seen better days. I guess it is best to say that we won’t be back as it was sadly not the same experience as we have had in the past. I think it should have been noted in Open table that the restaurant dining room and salad bar are closed until later in the week and might have made a different choice for our evening. I just found it misleading to say the least.

    This by far was the worst service and food we have had in a long time! We made a reservation for dinner in the dining room and got seated in a bar with the bartender who could not have cared less that we where there. He was too busy with his friends at the bar.

    I booked Bumpers because of their boasting of Banff's only salad bar - I love salad bars! When we arrived we were re-directed to the hotel lounge (with two kids), and were told that the restaurant and salad bar are only open on weekends. We were quite dissappointed and found ourselves eating a mediocre, over-priced meal in a sports lounge, instead of a restaurant. The only server was the bartender. Sad, considering we only had time to enjoy one dinner in Banff since our stay was short. I wish we would have gone somewhere else with our family.

    Not at all the ambiance or quality I would expect for Banff it the prices being charged. Food was ok, but absolutely no spices on the steaks, not so much as butter on the asparagus, very little effort put into salad bar and several things not available to order bc they used what they had for the salad bar. Low quality all around with diner tables tucked in the back of a generic room, while the lounge had a big fireplace. We regret not choosing something else as there are so many options.

    We booked to avoid disappointment as two in the party had eaten in Bumpers 23 years ago. The food was perfectly presented and the host/barman was brilliant, very attentive and very happy with everyone in the place. Would recommend both meals and sweets. Would go back tomorrow in only there was one in Kent England

    After reading reviews I hesitated to have dinner here, but since it was snowing hard and we were staying in the hotel the restaurant is located in, we opted for eating in. We both had the prime rib and it was excellent, little fat, done perfectly. Can't go wrong with a good baked potato and the salad bar was very fresh, excellent as well. Our only complaint about the meal was the veggies (carrots and asparagus) while fresh, were undercooked. It really didnt matter because there was so much other food to eat. Too full for dessert! Service was okay. The server was a bit harried as they had a tour group come in unexpectedly and looked like they were short service staff as a result. However, he made sure he got our orders in before theirs and was otherwise efficient, friendly and apologetic. Really the only delay was in getting the bill. We would eat here again. They have a varied menu with good variety. Prices are reasonable, not cheap, but this isn't Tim Hortons.

    Bumpers was a nice place to eat, the food was really good, indeed cooked to perfection. The setting was somewhat strange, were we in a restaurant or a bar. Our server was very attentive and responded to our needs well. It also seemed strange that Breakfast settings were being laid while we and others were still eating. I found that most off putting, as if our being there was an inconvenience for the staff. It would have been nice for us to have finished our meal before that took place.

    We were on girls trip to Banff. We decided to go there for the fact it had a salad bar. We were able to get a table right away and hostess was very nice. When wait came to our table - almost 15 minutes after being seated - he was friendly but hurried and coughed lots into his hand which as a germ person kind of turned me off. Restaurant was sooo hot and when we asked our server if he could open the patio doors he said it would only make it hotter but it was really quite uncomfortable. It took us 16 minutes to order drinks and 25 minutes after sitting down still had nothing. The menu offered no appetizers at all and we went to look at the salad bar and it was pitiful - poor selection, very little choices. We finally just walked out. I think one friend opted to say another one was ill but in truth we didn’t want to waste our Banff meal there. Restaurant ambiance felt like Denny’s had a steak house. It was very meh for a place charging Banff prices for entrees. ☹️

    Great spot for a special meal while travelling thru the Banff National Park area. There is a reason why the saying 'Bumpers Is Banff' has stuck for many years. The meals are prepared with excellent quality ingredients, and are exceptional value when you factor in the included salad bar. Other chain and hotel restaurants in the townsite will cost around the same, but most lack the consistent food quality and service I have always had at Bumpers. The old location is missed, with its quaint wooden loft steakhouse style, but the new place is a well updated restaurant with a modern vibe. Kid friendly too, with lots of varying size tables and booths, as well as high chairs, and a good selection of eats which had my son saying 'mmmmmmm' quite often during our meal, which doesn't happen too often these days considering his selective palate. Be sure to always give Bumpers a go for a nice dinner when in the Banff area. You won't be dissapointed.

    Our go-to restaurant every time we visit Banff. We absolutely love their steaks and salad bar. Their soup was super tasty (turkey mushroom and vegetable beef). They have good menu for kids and the portion size is bigger than any restaurant I ordered kids' meals from. Kids love their food since they are not dry or overcooked like some other restaurants do with their kids' meals. Would definitely go back again.

    Was told about the beef ribs, so went to give them a try. They were just ok. Luke warm , salad bar was dried out and nasty and the soups were just ok. Sounded like the kitchen staff were having a party in the kitchen. It was ok for the price but would probably not go back.

    We were early for our reservation and they had no problem accommodating us. Service was excellent, we wanted for nothing. The food was excellent, good flavour, nice presentation, lots of menu options - everyone in our group found a dish they really wanted. Will be on our list of restaurants to go back to when we're back in the area.
