Merv, You spoiled your wife, thank you so much, we hope your wife enjoyed being treated like a queen for her special day!
We always go to Heartland when we can, especially supporting a local family run business right now. Food and service was excellent, always stunning walking in the beautiful dining room, can’t wait for the Xmas decorations- a must go to restaurant in Okotoks for lunch/dinner- all occasions! Honestly can’t say enough good things.
Can we send you a virtual hug? Thank you <3 these kind words mean so much... thank you!!! Its customers like you that really remind us that the community is here to help us!
Food and service are always excellent. Cozy, quiet atmosphere. Our favourite date night spot for sure!
Food was excellent, service was excellent. Sad they took the Turkey pot pie off the menu.
OH we're so sorry to disappoint you but some things need to be kept seasonal so we can truly let guests experience the flavors of the season in a special way. We hope this means you'll be back to try new seasonal dishes!
Unfortunately a night ruined. Arrived at the restaurant at 6:45pm. Drinks arrived on time and same with the charcuterie board but took the “chef” over 2hrs to make a Thai bowl and a surf and turf. It was made clear to our waitress a few times that I am very allergic to mushrooms and my plate came out with mushrooms and my friends steak was blue rare. Plates were sent back and within 5mins we magically received hot plates but took them 2 hours to send in the first place. The owner came by and asked how our meal was and we were honest that we were disappointed. I’ve had fabulous meals here in the past but tonight wasn’t acceptable. His response was that maybe “this isn’t the right place for you” and RUDELY turned his back mouthing us off under his breath and walked away. Funny he had no problem taking our $150 for food that was very VERY average.
During this tough time you might want to treat your customers a bit better that still go out and SUPPORT your business, regardless if the meal with great or poor. I wasn’t looking for a free meal but the unprofessional attitude was uncalled for and we will never return.
Such a gem. The food, the staff the drinks excellent you should be very proud of your restaurant. Never disappointed when I come here.
Can't wait to return.
Thank you Lauralee, This is such a wonderful compliment, we are truly proud of what we have built and the kind responses from the community! It means so much to hear kind words like these! Thank you for your visit, we hope to welcome you in again!
A lovely lunch, tables were spaced apart. Our server was very attentive. The clam chowder was the best I had ever had. I had a small Caesar salad and pecan chicken. Both were very tasty.
Eatoutmore, Thank you so much! We appreciate your wonderful words, and appreciate the huge compliment. We love creating dishes for our guests and are so flattered hearing that its the best you've ever had.
Fantastic food and service definitely will be going back!

It was our 54th anniversary and Heartland was recommended by our son and daughter in law, who live in Okotoks. The whole time there was wonderful, the table, the service, the food, and the atmosphere....just what we had hoped for. My dinner had plenty of vegetables and the chicken melted in my mouth. Awesome in all.
Judith, Thank you for celebrating your anniversary with us, we always find it to be a huge honor to be selected for such a momentous event! Congrats, and you know we all want to know, what is the secret to 54 years of marriage? We hope to see you for your 55th anniversary!
In a way simple and still different. Well prepared and tasty.
A balanced menu for a nice evening out.
Martinus, Thank you for your review, when you select the best ingredients, even the simplest of meals are more incredible! Thank you for choosing us, we hope we will see you again soon!
Wonderful experience at the heartland cafe! 10/10 would recommend!
Anonymous, Thank you! I only wish we had 10 star ratings just for you! Thank you for choosing the Heartland Cafe & Restaurant, we so appreciate your visit!
I have dined at the Heartland Cafe twice, both for lunch and both times my experience has been outstanding. The servers are incredible and the food is absolutely without a doubt fantastic!
Doreen1, Thank you, thank you! Our team puts so much passion and care into serving our guests that we love when you appreciate it! We hope to see you again and thank you for supporting us and choosing us !
We had a lovely evening with a great server. We enjoyed the soup, (pumpkin and tomato basil), bread, and beet salad. We were disappointed with the gnocchi, it was overly salted, cold and very chewy. I was looking forward to trying this dish but will not recommend it or have again. We both ordered a large glass of wine and I had pieces of residue in the bottom of my glass, a little off putting.
DMEKT, Thank you for leaving us a review, we want all guests to have a wonderful experience when visiting us and while we are grateful you enjoyed the soup and salad so much, we wish your whole meal was just as incredible. Please send us a message, we would love to be able to explore what may have happened and use your help to improve in the future!
Always good food, and service. Have dined there 3 times now, and really like it.
Rossco, Thank you for choosing us, if we are going to be anything, consistently great is a perfect place to be. Thank you for your repeat visits, we very much appreciate your support and we are glad we can impress you each time.

We wanted a really nice evening to celebrate our Anniversary and it was just lovely.. our dinner was delicious, best Caesar Salad ever, our beef was perfect and the vegetables were so flavorful !! Great ambiance, and the biggest surprise was the "friendly, sincere service" we received, far out did any restaurant in Calgary. So glad we decided to have a wonderful night out at the Heartland with an on the House fabulous dessert for our 50 years together.
Thanks Heartland (:

This is a favourite restaurant, but this visit didn’t reach the level the restaurant in our experience meets. Service was great. Meal was only fair at best. Veggies were poor. Sauces were cold. Better luck next time.
Sorry to hear about your experience Gary, We were unaware there was anything wrong otherwise we would have done everything to correct it, we hope you will visit us again and let us know how we can make this right for you, we want all guests to have a great experience. Please let us know.
Excellent restaurant, good food & excellent service.
