Just amazing
These guys win awards for their burgers. Not like fast food, like home made bbq burgers but made by a professional chef.
huge and overflowing with taste
this burger joint, i can't explain it. feels like what the very first burger restaurant in the world probably was, so unique and individual, and their food is incredible!
Best homestyle burger in town
They've won awards for these burgers, and I'm not surprised. Some fantastic options, and a real homestyle taste that you can't get at any fast food joint. Not overly expensive, sometimes a bit of a wait, but you'll be talking about your burger for days to your pals.

Triple D, take a look!
February 07, 2012The Jebb burger deserves a shot on one of those diner shows. What a burger!This place is one of my favorite hole in the walls. The staff is awesome, and the burgers and fries are some of the best in Calgary.I love the pokes at Peter's Drive in.... and mostly they're true. Please work on the Milkshakes, though. I had the Banana, and it was a bit too fake for my liking. :( Will be coming back... more

Decent burger!
January 31, 2012My friend and I finally decided to take this place off our wishlist and went to pay them a visit last week. We were worried that there may be a lineup, but as we went around 1:30 we beat the lunch rush. As we walked in we were greeted immediately along with menus. The both of us decided on Fay's burger with a small order of yam fries to share.We took our seat, and our food was brought out a few... more

October 25, 2011Yes, finally a place that offers and egg in my burger. As someone who has lived in another country other than canada (and no, not the US), I learned that many peeps love an egg in their burger. In New Zealand, even McDonald's has a burger with an egg in it! Boogies has been a joint that I have been waiting a long time to try. The name scares me, but what really in a name?

big disappointment
October 24, 2011We recently tried Boogies Burgers for the first time,and were greatly disappointed.There was not much meat in the burger and what there was lacked any discernable flavor. The shake was okay, but really small for the price. Hate to say it, but Peters is better, for less money.

What I expected from Peter's
December 06, 2010My review of Peter's Drive-In establishes the low opinion I hold of that place. Boogie's Burgers, on the other hand, is everything I expect from a classic burger establishment, and a little more. Their hamburgers are huge, greasy, and flavourful, with almost too many options to choose from. The service is friendly and casual, and the atmosphere in the restaurant itself seemed nice - I don't... more

February 06, 2010Finally tried Boogie's after many years of procrastination, and I must say I was quite impressed. The burger I had was absolutely delicious (think burger meets hot dog in a wonderful fusion)! I loved the decor, the retro video games, and the hip staff. The only thing I say that could use improvement are the fries. I'll definitely be going there again...soon!

July 31, 2008After hearing about Boogies from a couple of buddies I finally decided to make ther trip down and try it out. The place is very freindly, clean, and relaxed. We sat at the counter next to the big screen and watched the Stamps game. It reminded me of an old style neighbourhood diner.
