About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for brunch
  • Good for groups
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.

      AI-generated from verified diner reviews
      Smugglers offers a "fantastic brunch buffet" with an impressive prime rib and dessert selection. The atmosphere is "classic," featuring a steakhouse vibe with delightful service. While some miss the old salad bar, the "service was spectacular" and the venue accommodates large parties with ease. A "great experience" overall that promises to be memorable.

        Really disappointing. Not the old Smugglers that I remember. Tonight we went and was told only the buffet was available. Prime Rib was fatty, Turkey was dry and shrimp was good but ran out before 7pm with no substitute. Won’t be back.

        Very disappointed. Why ask if it’s a celebration if you are going to ignore it?why not bring more than one glass of water?why have very mild horseradish.?overpriced undervalued Ground pepper would be appreciated on the salad

        Such an underwhelming experience. We were sat in the “renovated” area and the place has a cheap feel to it. I felt as if I was in some old town diner, not exactly the moment I was going for. The food was good but the “salad bar” left a lot to be desired. Basically some grape tomatoes, some cucumber and some lettuce. They should be ashamed to offer just that. Service was good but slow. It took over an hour for our meals to come out. Overall I do not recommend this restaurant and I won’t go back.

        Great venue, service and delicious food. Steaks were amazing and my salmon was perfect. Made all the better by the Birthday ice cream. Thank you again. Will definitely be back soon

        There is not a lot of options compare to other brunch buffet places. They only have prime rib, there’s no chicken dish or seafood dish. For pork they only have bacon. The pancakes are mini, so weird. The dessert selections though are really good. The salad bar was ok.

        The prime rib is outstanding,,,,I had three rounds of it, to be honest, just the prime rib alone already worth the price, They have other Brunch items as well, pan-cake, omelette, salad,,,,but I focus on prime rib and prime rib alone, - I need to set the priority right!!! OH, and their Yorkshire pudding, soooo good.

        Was excited to find out the salad bar was back but was disappointed that it is a lot different than it used to be. At least it still has the steak soup.
        SmugglersResponded on May 6, 2025
        Dear Mike, Thank you very much for your review, the salad bar is indeed different as it is now set in the lounge. I am glad that you enjoyed our Steak Soup. Please come back to try the Portuguese Bean Soup and our daily soup creation. Yours Sincerely, Jean-Michel
