Phoenix Grill

Love the food here. Every time we have been the food has been great. Service is ok. Some of the servers are awesome and on the ball, others are just not interested in serving you at all. Have come in the odd time and the bar area smells a little like wet old dish rag so that’s not the most appetizing but despite that and the hit and miss servers we still go fairly often because the food is so good. They have an open kitchen line as well so you can see how the food is prepared which I enjoy.

Mediocre at best. The menu is tired and uninspired! The room is dated and the service ok at best. I won’t return, there are to many places that really good to give my business to a company that appears to not care

Hit this place up before going to a late-​night movie with a few friends. The food was very mediocre. The service was great even though we had a large group. Overall a good experience.

Went recently with my kids and the food was so just ok. Could have made a better burger at home with a frozen burger. Nothing exciting and way too expensive to be worth it.

It’s an Earls or a Cactus Club — etc. Inexpensive generic (but good) food in a generic (but fun) atmosphere and you know what — that’s a fine place for a dinner with kids or workmates.
Service is good — minor things — they need to brush up on basic rules such as not clearing table while others are still eating their main — coming back with bill before asking if we want dessert. But really no major complaints.
Wine list is almost non-​existent. Beer list is okay. Bar drinks are excellent.

Ate off the gluten free menu. Was great being able to get a menu just for gluten free. Removed all the stress of interpretation. Had the half ribs. Everything was amazing. Food was great. Our waitress was fun. Good place to spend an evening.

Food is delicious and their staff are always friendly and attentive. We’ve gone here many times and have always left full and happy!

It was okay. Your basic family friendly place. Service was exceptional. Fish tacos were amazing. Turkey burger not so great. Was starving and I couldn’t finish it. Prices à little higher than expected.

Fabulous as always. My favourite Lobster Quesadilla never disappoints. As I have a somewhat small appetite, the appetizer size dish completely satisfies me. I love having this wonderful restaurant in our neighbourhood.

I knew going in that this place was similar to Moxies and Earls. The atmosphere definitely feels like Moxies, but it’s much brighter with natural light and I like that. I wasn’t totally impressed with the food. I didn’t love it but definitely not terrible. The redeeming quality that would bring me back was the service. Our server was friendly and took care of us well. I’d be willing to try Phoenix Grill again for drinks and apps.

I took my wife to the Phoenix for Mother’s Day, and we liked it so much we were back two days later. I very much enjoyed the food and the service during my two visits.
It’s a little bit noisy with lots of positive energy chatting going on throughout the room. The hostesses, busboys and servers are friendly and knowledgeable, and open to making suggestions. Even the restaurant owner, Mandy, popped by and we enjoyed a pleasant chat.
I really liked what I ate, and so did my wife. We started off with calamari – one of our favourites. Delicious. Not like the usual restaurant fare; full of taste and the breading wasn’t excessive. The two dips supplied were great. One was nicely spicy.
I hadn’t had a restaurant burger in a long time. The taste of their beef was exquisite. The toppings were fresh and the bun was fresh and not too big. My wife enjoyed her baby back ribs, which has a tasty sweet sauce.
After I complemented her restaurant’s burger Mandy told me about their weekly Burger Bash on Mondays and Tuesdays. For about $ 13 you get a great burger along with a good selections of sides.
It’s not a cheap place, but not over the top expensive. Our Mother’s Day meal was $ 78 with a bottle of wine and a 20% tip (yes, the service was that good).
We’ve found our new favourite restaurant!

My best friend and I have eaten here a few times. It’s right by my house, so when she visits me, and we are craving a good burger or wrap, we trek over here. I’ve never had bad service here. The waitresses are all very polite, and the managers often come by to make sure you’re enjoying your meal. I usually get the burger, and though it was a bit overcooked the last time I was there, it is pretty consistent. If you want a quick meal that hits the spot, this is definitely your best bet.

Nice place to order some meals to share, Phoenix sunrise (?) martini was pretty good too.
We have never really had a meal we haven’t enjoyed here. It’s a nice restaurant but somewhere where we also don’t feel uncomfortable bringing our youngest son. We however can’t afford to bring all four kids as we’ve been told there is no actual kids menu. They are good with ensuring a smaller plate of chicken fingers are available at a discounted rate for our toddler and never make us feel like this is in anyway putting them out. The servers have always been quite helpful and happy, pleasant overall atmosphere.
Normally busy but we’ve never had to wait for a table with the three of us. A nice, slightly hidden, gem.

My perception of Phoenix Grill was altered after my experience here. I was expecting something a little different than it was. Although it still felt like a chain to me (somewhere between earls and moxies) I still enjoyed the service that was provided to us.
We ordered a couple drinks and a few sharing plates, I was not blown away from the food when it arrived however. We had the lobster quesadilla, crab and artichoke dip and the calamari.
The calamari was really weird and overly deep fried… it almost looked like popcorn shrimp. The lobster quesadilla was lacking in flavour and something about it was really off. The dip was tasty, but can ever go wrong with this kind of dip? I think not!
Our server was nice and I have to say I liked the atmosphere. I would like to come back and try something else and hopefully have a better food experience.

Very salty, I expect some but this was… over the top, service good, prices high, dumplings and a noodle dish with tip $ 45
Bills Peking House was closed just down the road otherwise would have gone there instead

After a morning of geo-​caching around Fish Creek Park we searched out a place to stop for a late lunch and ended up at the grill.
Firstly they don’t have a kids menu and so we had to order full meals for kids who might eat 3 – 5 bites. And it’s not cheap. My son had one choice of pizza and that was margarita… it came and was huge. My daughter was able to order half of a penne alfredo and still left with the plate half full, husband ordered a burger and I had one of the specials, butter chicken tacos in crisp won-​ton wrappers… with. wait for it… a pineapple salsa made with canned pineapple. The dish lacked everything and the obviously canned pineapple very disappointing. We buy fresh pineapple all the time so it’s readily available Everywhere in Calgary.
The staff were friendly and the place decent but there was nothing memorable about the food or experience. That coupled with kids having to order off an adults menu will not have us returning any time soon.

Ok, read all the great reviews, but I can’t see they are that good. My apologies for this one.
Stopped in for dinner, got a 14 oz beer called a pint… Sorry a pint federally is 20 oz, but provincially should be at least 16… Paid 6.50 plus tax…
Ok, fine… Let’s look at the menu… Hmmmmm… Nothing really lept out at me except the prices… There a bit steep.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not cheap! I am here on a company expense account and I can have anything I want, but seriously the menu did nothing for me.
Yes the place was friendly, clean, nice staff… We just were not a fit. Drank the beer and left. Not something I do… Normally.
So I went up the parking lot to Hudson’s and enjoyed a wonderful 4 dollar PINT! 20 oz. FYI… And a fantastic steak sandwich.
Sorry, won’t go back here…

I admit that I was a pleasantly surprised by my experience here, since it seemed a lot like your typical «high-​end» chain — overpriced, small portions, and unremarkable quality. Keyword seemed.
Let’s just say I wasn’t expecting much.
Coming in through the door though, the hostesses were very friendly, and they even managed to oblige us right away when we requested for patio seats.
They even threw us a male server for us to flirt with all night, as we pleased! (Just kidding!)
Anyway, I ordered the chicken quesadilla because… it was chicken and because, to be honest, I didn’t trust the «fusion» options on the menu. I was surprisingly amazed by how moist and tender it was.
Overall, my meal was quite tasty; adequate portions too. Definitely better than I expected.
I’ll be thinking of stopping by again when we’re in the area, that’s for sure.

Went for a wonderful lunch today! Couldn’t believe how busy it during lunch time! Immediately thought that the wait time for ordering food and eating would take at least a 30 minutes.
There was 6 of us and hoped to be in and out relatively quick — so we could get back to work.
Although I have been here a few times, I never visted during lunch. Needless to say, the experience was phenomenal.
Our order was taken, food served, eaten and paid — all done within and hour or so. Fantastic service.
Amanda was our server and she was awesome! Funny, courteous, kept on asking how our food was and refilling our drinks!
Defintely a spot to visit for a business lunch, a intimate date or just hanging out. Location is prime! A sweet place to visit before the movies or after.
Great Food. Great Service and Great Atmosphere!

I have eaten here 4 – 5 times and have not been disappointed in the food nor the service. The wait staff are attentive and food comes out quickly.
Food is fusion, mex, thai, mediteranian… so lots to please almost any very palate I think.
Nice sophistocated atompshere.
I will be back:)
Question though why is it called Phoenix Grill?
