Fergus & Bix

Great lettuce wraps, and ahi tuna appetizers, micro brew beers and always great service. It’s a favourite place for business lunches or getting together with friends.

We had a nice Monday evening at Fergus & Bix two weeks ago. Our server was friendly (and prompt, despite also bartending). My friends’ wine selections were mediocre but my craft beer flight really hit the spot; the restaurant also had a featured charity brew which was a delicious part of my flight! All three of us ordered the burgers, which are on special on Monday nights (the veggie burger, too!), but as Americans we were a bit sad to learn that beef must be cooked well-​done in Alberta. The burgers were still flavorful but my mashed potato side was the star on my plate. My companion loved her sweet potato fries. All in all, a nice relaxed place to enjoy a Monday meal — though next time, I’d try another entrée!

I love how pubs these days are not just burgers and fries. Love their seafood linguine! Lots of very unique food options and fusion flavours.
Great neighbourhood pub!

Just got back from a long weekend and was looking forward to getting back to my «local pub». Instead of getting the normal friendly greeting we had a sullen young lady show us to our table. The waitress, though pleasant, seemed to be too preoccupied by her tables on the patio to pay us much attention. The food was good as usual but took a very long time to arrive, much longer than we are used to. We had to wave down our server to get a refill of our drinks and finally to get our bill at the end of the evening.
Now every place has its off days, I get that. But I just feel the place has lost something since the refurbishment. It used to be my local and my favourite. Now I’m not so sure I want to rush back. There is plenty of other options in the neighbourhood and if F&B can’t preserve «my local» feel I will have to go elsewhere.
I post this review with some disappointment as I really use to love the place.

This used to be our go to in the neighbourhood. The servers are awesome and the beer selection is great. Lately the kitchen has not paid the proper attention to food unless it is deep fried. In three separate instances we have had food that is improperly cooked (burnt brownie, slimy chicken wings, overcooked steak). The servers have always rectified the issue properly but the kitchen seems to be making their job difficult. Hoping that this issue gets sorted out because we used to love going here. Final concern — the menu could use an update.

The food is pretty good and they have a lot of menu options, but the atmosphere is lacking. The tables are oddly large and the noise level is quite loud. It can be pretty crowded most of the time. We come here because there aren’t too many options near by, otherwise we would go somewhere else.

It was your typical restaurant ok burgers & ok serves not anything special more or less over priced & the waitresses are some what oblivious to what they need to do

This is no regular pub fare. The food here is awesome! I’ve eaten here twice in the last two weeks and the food was fantastic both times. Asian lettuce wraps and Beef Tacones were soooo yummy!

I’ve been here a few times. The 1^st time I went I was expecting a nice restaurant with restaurant food. Got a pub with pub food
But pub food is okay, right? Sometimes?

Have been here twice for dinner and brunch now and I’ll admit this is the only location I’ve been to and certainly hope their other locations are better.
I don’t know what it is but the service is below par here. Servers are sloooooow, not friendly, and don’t pay attention to their customers.
The food, well it’s a bit pricier than OJ’s, but portions are smaller and the quality is meh… By meh I mean my pulled pork sandwich is extremely messy and left a puddle of oil and juices on the plate and fries are über soggy and looked like they were frozen and not fresh cut fries.
Oh and another thing that really bugs me about F&B is the ladies «book club» special only for ladies??? Pssssh!

For almost a year now, this is the place that my wife and I celebrate our Fridays, with Guinness an good food. Many times, family and friends join us there. Happy place, great atmosphere and top notch service.

We just moved into the area of Aspen, and figured we’d try out the local watering hole — Fergus & Bix. The place is quite similar to Original Joe’s in its décor and clientele so it was hard not to direct compare when there is an OJs also in Aspen Landing.
The food selection isn’t ranging in a whole lot of choices besides your typical pub fare, but they do these menu items very well. I had the Italian Burger and thought it was just amazing. Half pork /​Half beef patty with cheese and marinara, it was super yummy.
So in food quality and taste, it beats OJs, for selection OJs wins.
In beer choices, they had SOME good beers on tap, but didn’t get any winter seasonals in which was quite disappointing. If you are going to call yourself a Beer place, you need to keep your taps rotating to fit the seasonal brews from craft breweries.
Overall, it was a good dinner, but not the most memorable, we will likely stick to OJ’s instead.

Always busy and sometimes you have to wait to get a table, particularly if you go on the weekend. It sure beats other pubs in the neighborhood in terms of quality, though that is also reflected in their prices.
I enjoyed their burgers and salads, though their best dish for me is the «beer board». It’s a platter with meat, potato salad and pretzel bread and is designed to go with any of their beers. What I liked most about the beer board is that it is original and unexpected. The food is fresh and not pre-​packaged (at least, not that we could tell.) Have yet to find anything similar elsewhere.
It’s also pretty loud in there, which usually annoys the crap out of me in a restaurant, but there’s something about this place that makes you want to overlook the noise levels. This place is A-​OK and definitely worth a try.

The burger was not very good. I hate that they required it to be cooked well done. The Caesar was way overdressed. Service was very good. Overall, I would probably not recommend.

I came for lunch today and was quite impressed.
My dining partner and I were both intrigued by the Tacones. Unfortunately they don’t let you mix and match between the beef and tuna so I order the tuna and him, the beef, so that we could try both. The Tacone is F&B’s hybrid of a taco. If you’ve had a fish taco before (a good fish taco I might add, not the crap they serve at OJ’s), then you can expect something similar.
The tacones were excellent. The seared tuna reminded me of the best fish taco I’ve ever had (
). F&B’s version was great, but but not quite as good as PB Fish Shop, but I’ll take theirs any day since they’re only across town and not the continent. The short rib Tacone was really flavourful and the meat was extremely tender.
At the end of our meal our waitress asked which Tacone we liked the best. Neither of us could choose as they were both equally excellent in their own rights.
When I have more time to hang out I’d like to come back and sample their tasty looking beer menu.

Great food with lots of selection for a fair price.
Initially when I arrived at Fergus & Bix, I didn’t know what to make of it. It was still pretty early in the day, so when my friends suggested it I thought it was more of a breakfast place. Walking into a pub when I was expecting breakfast was kind of surprising. We were quickly informed that we may sit wherever we liked and were given menus. The menus have a crazy number of different items. From wonton soup to noodle bowls to tuna salads to beef dips and steaks. You’re sure to find something you want to eat. I wasn’t convinced that it was a good place when looking at the prices as they seemed quite steep. After tasting the food though, I knew that the price was worth it. I had the first bite of my beef dip and was amazed at how fresh and delicious the bun and the beef were. Great food paired with good service has made me like this place, but I can’t give it 5 stars for those prices.
Plenty of beers (20 on tap) and even more food choices available.

A pleasant surprise.
A few co-​workers met there for lunch. The services was excellent and the food was quite good. I had a blackened chicken Caesar salad. It was fresh and quite large. Others had the chop salad, which also looked quite good.
The décor is good and the restaurant is clean.
I will definitely try it again.

Came here with a friend for dinner and was pleasantly surprised! This isn’t your old dingy bar which the whole place reeks of wood floor soaked beer! This is what I consider to be a yuppie pub! A very strong selection of local and micro brewed beers on tap! I had the fish and chips (halibut). It came out with a nice two pieces of wonderfully crisp but moist in the middle fish! My friend ordered the Fergus and Bix burger and it came out this behemoth burger! He seemed quite satisfied. Nice place! Service was attentive and good!

I decided to come here to meet up with my best friends. Such a random place to be going to since none of us lived close by.
The food was good. I had a chicken wrap that came with garlic mashed potatoes that drop kicked my hunger into oblivion. They also didn’t have Keith’s on tap but the waitress was awesome enough to recommend a refreshing alternative. Prices were average to most gastro pubs which meant $ 30 bucks will get you 2 pints and an entrée.
I would guess that the crowd the must frequent this place on average is 25+ and maybe a bit more older. Nothing wrong with that. The service was great and attentive, of course we were a table full of handsome young men that any woman couldn’t resist so I couldn’t blame our waitress: P

This restaurant offers over 15 different microbrews from the Alberta and BC region. For $ 6 you can try the sampler, which lets you choose 3 of the beers from the menu.
Their food selection is really varied. You still have the standard pub food like burgers, fish & chips, nachos, and wings. But it also has the kind of food a place like Cactus Club or Joey Tomatoes would have. You have the Asian cuisine, pastas, steaks, seafood, and really really good pulled pork. Oh and their yam fries are pretty amazing.
Entrees are in the $ 12 – 40, so its not necessarily cheap. It is a fairly new restaurant, so the place is clean and the atmosphere is really similar to the Earl’s and Cactus Club style lounges.
The location is not really great though. I thought I was in Springbank! It just goes to show how fast this city is growing. Huge thumbs down to urban sprawl!
