We have always enjoyed the atmosphere at BC. They serve one of the best burgers and fries in the city. We should visit more often in the future.

We had two very tasty steaks and a great whiskey tasting. As a German, this was the first time in Canada I'd had a beer that wasn't too weak – a great local beer. The waiter is a cool guy.

If you like steak and whiskey like I do, this is, in my opinion, as good as any other such restaurant in the world that I’ve been to which specializes in both. The only thing that would make the service 5-star is if they had a whiskey guru working the bar who knew their whiskies like those often found in other similar establishments that I have found elsewhere around the world. But thanks to Buchanan’s I learnt about Alberta Prime Cask Strength Single Grain Rye which absolutely blew me away. As good as anything I’ve had in Scotland. Ok, it’s not peated which is my fave, but with the flavour profile and richness, I didn’t need the peat to get that full-bodied boldness I’ve come to love in whiskey. And now for the best part - Alberta steaks. Grass fed and deep beefy flavours (unlike tender-only, bland USA stuff) that is tender and hearty. Now, that’s something else! Reminds me of Tasmanian and New Zealand beef, arguably the best non-wagyu beef in the world. Alberta, you’re kick-ass!! And Buchanan’s will give you that Alberta experience in Calgary. Hint: Come on a Friday night and get their T-bone special for 2!

I had always heard Buchanan's burgers were delicious, and they did not disappoint. Perfectly cooked and well seasoned, accompanied by a generous serving of fries. My new favourite burger in Calgary.

Met a colleague here for lunch last week. We both had the sirloin burger, cooked a true medium. Good fries, old school, understated service. Bustling lunch crowd. Will go again.
