About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
  • Great for brunch
Originally established in 1974, Smuggler's Inn has been serving Alberta prime rib to several generations. Always a popular place for Calgarians to gather and celebrate, we are the preferred dining choice for birthdays, anniversaries, milestones or just meeting friends and family. Our prime rib is the main feature of our diverse menu, available all day, every day any way you like it. From a 9oz. prime rib, all the way up to a 18oz cut, our succulent prime rib is sure to please any appetite. Of course there is a creative selection of steaks, chicken and seafood to satisfy everyone. It would be a great idea if you saved room for one of our delicious desserts...even if you plan on sharing.

        It is not the smugglers of old , went in October and it was disappointing service but the food was good so we attributed it to being busy . Last night was not busy and they were very disorganized , 40 minutes to get a cocktail prime rib took over an hour with no starters ordered . They forgot to take the order for the people across from us and the people behind us were seated and ordered before us and they didn’t have their food when we were leaving after being there for an hour and 40 minutes .

        Went to celebrate and anniversary and enjoyed excellent service and quality food. Went for the prime rib and it was well-prepared but lacked some spices in my opinion. My partner did not like their mashed potatoes as they were very bland but our server exchanged them for a baked potato which was excellent. Best value on the menu is their Banana Split for dessert. Can easily feed 2-3 people after such a large dinner. We both had prime rib cuts with the add-on soup and salad bar.

        Born and raised in Calgary, heard Smugglers Inn was really good. Figured I'll take my mom for her 75th birthday. Our reservations were at 5:00pm, so first table to be seated for dinner. Both mine and my mom's meals were like warm. Paying $60/dinner it should be hot. Server ordered the wrong steak for my son, so he had to wait longer for his food. At least his was hot when it came. Dessert came but just for my mom, no biggie. My mom ate hers while we waited for the other 2 desserts. They ask if there's a special occasion for tonight, but they don't do anything special for those occasions so not sure why they bother asking. It's my first and last time I'll be there. I'll stick to Hy's or The Keg.

        Our visit was pretty middle of the road. The service was great and our server was very attentive. We had the salad bar. The options were very limited. There were a couple of soups and several types of lettuce with a selection of toppings. No alternate options such as potato salad or non-salad vegetables. The meat served with the main was way overcooked. The thickness of the slices were very variable, which accentuated over cooking of portions of the serving. We've been to Smugglers many times over the years. This last visit left us surprisingly underwhelmed.

        Dear Neil, Thank you very much for your visit and your feedback, I am sorry to hear that your mains were overcooked. We are looking forward to welcoming you back on a different occasion. Kind Regards, Jean-Michel

        I had order baked potato and it came mashed. Did bring me a baked, but it want hot and had little taste. Serve slow but was friendly. Too a long time for the bill to arrive. I won’t be returning.

        See the full Google review for Smugglers which was a 1 star review. If I was ever there it would have been a long time ago so for my birthday, I thought I would try somewhere different from the Keg down the road as the salad bar on their website is why I chose the Smugglers. It wasn't even close. So even if the waiter said it was under new ownership, why was the website not changed? Who was giving me BS?? I just won't EVER bother going back and will never recommend them.

        Dear Les, Thank you very much for your visit and review, I am sorry to hear that you did not enjoy our Salad bar. Please join us for our Brunches to experience an elevated version of our daily offering. Yours Sincerely, Jean-Michel

        It seems they may have been short staffed in both the kitchen and restaurant. It took a long time to get our meals. The chicken dinner was very salty. Our server was very nice.
