Not the greatest

Went here on a recommendation from a friend - we were two couples out for dinner. In fairness, our waitress was new. Really liked the booth we got - spacious and private. We ordered 1 beer, 3 glasses of wine, 3 orders of bison sirloin and 1 order of meatloaf. Drinks came out no problem, but our waitress informed us... more

Good Place for Drinks

I went with a group of friends who were attending a conference to Buzzards for dinner and drinks. The food was good and reasonably priced. The waitress did have some problems answering questions about the menu and forgot to bring only my drink at one point, but it was very busy and she quickly brought it to me when reminded.... more

Was expecting more

Made reservation during our trip to the Stampede. Granted we went two days before the stampede. But the service was horrible, my drink horrible. The food, limited due to the food, was okay. It was not busy so the service should have been better.

Thanks for the hospitality during the floods

This is probably a good place to go if you like to drink various types of beer. As far as the food goes, it is pretty typical pub-grub. We came here because it was one of the few places that was open post-flood. The staff were very friendly. We would come back here because it is convenient to where we... more

Friendly, good food, well priced

Very difficult finding suitable place open after Calgary's dreadful floods, evidence still obvious. Buzzards was open and welcoming. Looked like locals were happy. Very friendly staff who changed a dish for me....no problems. We thought it good value, beers excellent, wonderful choice and great knowledge by staff.
Even managed a dessert.....
No complaints

Bier variety heaven

Must visit for folks who luv bier as they have around 300 different flavours to choose from .... Typical bar food but you can pick your choice between pot stickers to steaks !!
Friendly staff and quite a huge place as you walk in .... Great place to hang out after work and shoot pints !! Average prices for bier... more

I was briefly the Chef here so maybe my opinion is a little biased but I'm not an employee anymore so I think I can speak my mind.

Buzzards and Bottlescrew Bills has been around for almost 30 years and that is really saying something in our little city of Calgary. It's a staple and it's been consistently doing great for years. This place is family owned and operated and really does care... more

Ok Food-Ok Service

We spent one night in Calgary at the end of our week long tour with Rocky Mountaineer. Truly not impressed with Calgary, nothing was open after 6:00 pm. This little place was behind our hotel so we tried it for dinner. It was ok. The server was nice, though slightly clueless. I ordered the sirloin with blue cheese and instead... more

Good food -- good beer

Somehow I'd always overlooked this restaurant, but on two recent visits was impressed by it. The beer listing is impressive and the servers seem to know their beers. The food menu is also appealing and the food good.

The beer is cold and the servers friendly

Did you know that one of the largest oil feilds ever discovered in the north sea was named after this place?
After over 30 yeas in operation the place has great stories attached to it.
Another must do is attending the annual testical festival held every summer and enjoying the so called "prairie oysters" featured. (Prairie Oysters are what's left... more

Great food, great people and great service

I had an amazing time at Buzzards and their pub counter-part Bottlescrew Bills. We need somewhere fun and casual to take a large group of our staff out and this place came highly recommended. The staff had no problems taking our large reservation and their service was phenomenal. Their menu allows for a fusion of classic cowboy-style food with a... more

Terrible Service and Overpriced

Only 1 person to serve and run bar. Waited a long time to be served and Steak was average at best..but prices were high. Many other restaurants nearby with better service, atmosphere and prices.

Decent place!

Ate their with my wife. My dinner lamb chops was good and so were the vegetables with them. My wife ordered a bison burger medium. Waiter said he would try but the cook failed badly over cooked. Prairie Oysters were OK. This place did not seem like an authentic cowboy bar either. Buzzard’s Breath was good. Alberta microbrew crops are pretty lame but this one was good.

Well... look at your collar... is it blue? Maybe a little dirty? You might enjoy this place

Overpriced. Not too impressive

Good food and atmosphere. Not your typical cowboy restaurant

If you're looking for cowboy-kitsch, this is not the place. Good service, though
