Highly varied menu
August 01, 2014We had the Thai salad, lettuce wraps, and the kids split the fish and chips. The food was fresh and delicious, highly recommended. The fish and chips were piping hot so this is fair warning for parents with young kids as your children may burn themselves. The service was lax, but acceptable. I'm beginning to think slow, unattentive service is... more

Horrible, never going back
July 29, 2014Horrible waitress with a bad attitude and the back cook seemed to have a strong Oder of ciggerette smoke and did not look clean. The portion of the meal is too small for the price it is and the staff were sitting at a separate table visiting. But you can relie on the fact that this little restraunt has no... more

Quaint little place
July 28, 2014This was a cute little restaurant. The service was reasonable, the food was terrific, there were lots of things to see on the walls and shelves. There was a reasonable amount of parking. There were tables and chairs inside and outside the restaurant. The bathrooms were clean. As you were coming in and out of the restaurant, there were bags... more

Amazing food
July 13, 2014We happened to stop by at this restaurant as we were passing through Pincher Creek, and we are so glad we did. We had the blackened salmon for dinner, and it was the best salmon that we have ever had in a restaurant. We ordered the rice pilaf as a side, and it came with a wonderful mixture of stir... more

A taste of Trinidad in some food
July 11, 2014The owner is from Trinidad and has dishes from her background. A bit pricey for what you get but it is an interesting experience

Great place
July 09, 2014Found this awesome little place the other day. Had lunch outside on the patio with my wife. Fantastic food and great service. A real different menu. The pretzel buns were WOW! Definitely will go back.

Pricey, attitude from staff, and old food
July 05, 2014Cute little restaurant but nothing good to say other than that. Boyfriend had ribs which had good flavour but hardly any meat and extremely over cooked. I had the special which was ham and cheese sandwich on a ciabatta bun. Bun was chewy and stale. Ham made me sick. Staff were seated at another table when we came in and... more

Fantastic
June 17, 2014What an amazing surprise. We had the Mama D sandwich and the enchilada. Both were great. A different but well-crafted twist on a dish that was obviously made from scratch. Hope to come back this way again.

This is a little gem
March 03, 2014We had dinner at Denise's when we stayed overnight in PC. What a delight. The food was very good, most accommodating for GF requirements. Denise made time to talk to all the folks in the restaurant. I'm so glad we found this place.

Most enjoyable meals and reasonable prices
October 22, 2013I visited Pincher Creek on two seperate occasions, a co-worker and I ate there twice during the first stay and twice on the later visit. The first visit my co-worker had the Souvlaki and I had the special which was a filet cooked rare with a caprese salad with fresh mozzarella. The steak was superb and one of the best... more

September 03, 2013The food at the Bistro is absoulutly amazing here. There is such a variety of dishes for everyone. The menue is cooked from the heart, with special smoked meats without the preservatives and dyes. They are done in her own smoker, she also hs gluten free items to. There is no need to pay extra for sides here unlike the... more

So good! Fresh meals made from scratch. Good food takes time to make and I certainly don't mind waiting for anything Denise makes. Plate-likable (I'm not kidding - I've been caught more than once) delights.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner, there is always something I'm craving on the menu. It's hard to choose sometimes.
Cheesecakes to die for and coffees worth...

August 21, 2013We are a family of 6 who drove cross country from Ontario to British Columbia!

Stay away unless you like slow service with mediocre food
August 17, 2013Ate here for lunch. Two adults and three children. They got us to the table quickly then it went downhill. Kids menus with puzzles to colour but no crayons? Water was served quickly then it took forever for them to get back to get to our order. After ordering what we thought were quite simple dishes, two steak sandwiches and... more

When in Pincher Creek support the local business
August 15, 2013I was here for a week working on a film, stuck in the usual hotel you get put up in while on location. After two nights of eating at the most obvious franchise type restaurants we stumbled upon Denise's Bistro. Just a few of us on the crew at first, this place was a true find. Denise the owner is... more

I would not reccomend
August 09, 2013I honestly would not reccomend this place to anyone. The service was beyond slow...there was two servers to 6 tables, yet it took 10 min to even have our drink orders taken then another 7 min to receive our drinks ( a coke and a caesar) not hard beverages. When our drinks were dropped of the server walked away and... more

If you've a taste for something unusual, consider a meal here
July 27, 2013Pincher Creek is a small town, but it does a good tourist trade because of its proximity to Waterton Lakes National Park. Denise's has a very varied menu, with items you won't commonly see in Alberta and certainly not in a small town. For example, freshly wrapped spring rolls, enchiladas, and the like. The place wasn't very busy. Service was... more

Too broad a menu, nothing great, slow service
July 15, 2013Denise's Bistro used to be absolutely awesome ... when in was a small hole-in-the-wall with rotating specialties. When it moved to its current large space, and created a large menu, it lost its quality & charm. Also is now very slow in serving. Some menu items are still absolutely delicious, but you take your chances, and you need to always... more

Stick to the ribs I'd say
February 12, 2013
Have eaten here many times before and enjoyed it but think I ordered badly - calamari was tough and rubbery and chicken curry was gloopy and really not very tasty at all. The service was friendly as always but it was really an overpriced and not very good meal all in all.

Embarrased to take company to Denise's Bistro
December 30, 2012We had out of town company, and decided to take them to Denise's Bistro. The service was slow, most of the food was ok, but the shrimp on rice noodles with peanut satay was revolting. It was like they found the whitest lettuce - core part, mashed it, put rice noodles that were cooked last week over it (the noodles... more

December 06, 2012We arrived at Denise's Bistro around the 4:30pm mark, we had just finished arriving and checking into our motel (they suggested Denise's Bistro). Upon arriving we were met by not only our server but also by Denise, herself. First the food is OUT OF THIS WORLD and the prices are exceptional as well. It was such a lovely time spent... more

Excellent menu choice
February 15, 2012This place was recommended by friends who live in Pincher Creek. We glad we went. Extensive menu, lots of variety and good value. The four of us all ate something different and we were all pleased with our meals, as well as the friendliness of the service. Carnivore lovers can try the full rack of ribs to share with friends.

A gem in the foothills
January 10, 2012What a nice surprise to find such an international menu in the Foothills of Alberta's ranching country! I had a tasty garden salad and an entree with chicken, shrimp and veggies on rice noodles, topped off with a spicy, homemade peanut sauces. The service was prompt, attentive and friendly. The meal was ample, hot and flavourful. Chef Denise even came... more

Gem in Pincher Creek
January 18, 2011Wow. After the last review, I completely disagree. Pincher Creek is lucky to have Denise's Bistro. It brings diversity and ethnicity to a small town. It's a restaurant that has anything from a HUGE burger to a Shrimp Thai Salad. Yes, the food takes time to cook because everything is homemade; it's not A&W or McDonalds. As a regular customer,... more

Business owner who patronizes her customers
December 20, 2010I love going to a restaurant where the owner thinks they can take their servers tips away from them and put them in their pocket. Obviously I'm being sarcastic. We went in for lunch, and yes the service is slow, but so is the kitchen. For being the first table in the restuarant, 20 minutes before the second table even... more

Good food but the service is slow
August 03, 2010The food was great but we waited over 45 min after we ordered to get our food. We had to keep asking when it would get to our table. The waiter didn't offer any explanation other than they were busy. I would recommend this restaurant only if you are willing to wait.

Seems like Greek food might be a specialty and it is good. The burger and fries with a Greek salad was terrific.
Desserts look good too, but too full for any.

Best Ribs Ever
August 01, 2008
I am in the construction industry and work all over Canada and have travelled extensively throughout the United States.
The baby back ribs served daily at Denise's are the best I have ever had in a restaurant and the made-on-premises desserts are outstanding. If you are into burgers, Denise's house burger is exceptional.
The wine selection is very limited and...
