Toad N Turtle Pubhouse & Grill

We loved this place! A ton of beers on tap with a fantastic bartender. Bret asked us what kind of beers we liked, gave us samples then and switched it up all night. We drank several different beers we wouldn’t have normally tried and they were delicious. The wings were great; meaty with tasty sauce.
Later, the manager, Ryan, came over chatted us up and gave us some tourist information. Super friendly. Great place!!!

The wings are perfect sized and so cheap! We go here for date nights quite a bit. Sometimes they have live bands which have always played great music. Very talented people, awesome service, great wings.

Usually the food and service is much better but tonight it was pretty lack luster. The pizza wasn’t that hot and seemed slightly over cooked and our server really needs to know what providing exceptional service is… it seemed tonight that she couldn’t give two shits that she was working. Not sure if I’ll return based on this visit. Major improvement needed here.

We came here for wings night which is honestly frighteningly cheap, I think. At $ 0.40/wing you have to wonder what kind of conditions chickens are forced to undergo their super speed growth in order to provide us with 40 cent wings. But who cares because tasty chicken! Unfortunately I could not eat any wings but I will note that the wings do not come with celery sticks (much to my dismay) nor do they come with ranch dressing (much to the dismay of my friends). Since I’m basically just a mouthpiece for my meat eating friends here, according to them the flavours that were good: hot teriyaki, hot, and salt and pepper. Not so great: suicide. We also got onion rings, which I did eat and I think they were nice. Not too oily or heavily battered. I have had their veggie burger before (not at this location) and I think it may be one of the best veggie burgers I’ve ever had. Overall, a great place to hang out and grab a bite in the evenings whether or not you eat meat!
Recently came here and ordered the veggie burger again but I think they’ve changed their recipe and it’s more dry than I remember it. Still not bad but certainly not the best I’ve ever had, which is unfortunate.

Interesting pub in the hotel convention centre district. So a lot of suits mixed in with the baseball caps. High ceilings and tv’s and good pub decorations. Not a big place. Lamb stew was excellent. So they know how to cook! Reasonable prices. And they have beer specials. But pints only 16oz. Pints keep shrinking… hard to find 18 and 20oz anymore. A good place to kill time.

I’ve been hopping into Toad N Turtle for years now. See what I did there? Okay, I’m done with the puns, maybe.
Toad has amazing, AMAZING, daily specials. Like 2 for 1 appetizers on Sundays or Wing Night Wednesdays. Which is hands-​down the best wings in the city. On Wednesdays is when I normally go, and be forewarned that it can/​does get super busy. However, no matter how busy they are the staff is always so pleasant and helpful.
There are 23 regular flavours of chicken wings and a weekly flavour too! I think I’ve tried all of them over the past years, okay months, and my favourite is medium-​ranch and dill-​pickle. The wings are gigantic, one basket is very filling but it’s on wing night, one basket is not an option! Wings are $ 4.00 a basket and you are required to buy a drink.
The Toad has a bunch of fun cocktails and tons of beers and ales too. I love the Bullfrogs, it’s essentially two drinks in one. A frozen margarita with a bottle of Corona in it. So delish, I highly recommend it. It is the perfect drink for the perfect diet cheat day.
I’m not really a pub person, but I really enjoy the Toad. It is decorated in an English theme. I love the red phone booth and the mini knight at the front of the pub. They even have soccer matches on during the soccer season too. They also have food specials on game night, for the Canadian hockey fans too! I just found out about their Toadly Hungover Breakfast Special, note to self: after my next bender, we have a place to recover.
I really like how responsible the owners of TNT are. I noticed a sign in the bathroom that said, «complimentary mocktails will be offered to expecting mothers and designated drivers.» And there is signage throughout the pub for safe travels home via Plan B (a DD service) and even discounted pricing for nearby hotels, if you can’t commute home.

Been coming here for a while now, an the wings are great on Wednesday evening. An the staff is very attentive. An music just loud enough that you can hear who you with talk. An their Sunday meals are excellent

What an awesome deck. The food was really good and service was fast. Very pleasant staff and a great place for lunch. One had brisket the other turkey wrap with home made potato salad. DELICIOUS… can’t go wrong here.

Nice little stop in bar and restaurant. Brisket wrap was excellent. Nice patio sitting with a smaller menu. Great specials every night.

Been here a couple times. their Shepard’s pie is pretty good. I recommend their Yorkshire puddings. Well trained bar tenders from what I saw. I asked for a apple martini and the bar tender asked what kind. I asked what kind can he make and he started listing varieties. So he’s quite knowledgable.
I recommend coming here for pub food.

Great Pub! The atmosphere was fun and the food was really good. They make most of their own sauces and dressings, as all as other delights on the menu. The staff was friendly and attentive. I will definitely return.

Sunday is two for one appys. We went for appetizers and our friends received their food promptly. They didn’t bring ours for awhile and we had to ask again when it was coming. The wings were great, but the nachos were so bad. They had all jalepeno peppers on top and banana peppers, bits of cheese. Where were the nachos we wondered? They were crumpled up at the bottom in tiny pieces. Awful, bad attititude service. Never again. We had our dose of bad service and yucky food for a long time. We wont be back. Maybe that’s why the place wasn’t busy, it really sucked.

Excellent service with quality food. What more can you ask for in a neighbourhood pub? Did I mention the wings are big, juicy and moist? A winner for sure. I will be back. Make sure you check out their daily specials.

The food was good, lobster roll lacked flavour the pulled pork kettle chips was good, should come with a dipping sauce… They have one of the best tasting bacon caesar cocktails i have ever had! My friend ordered a caesar salad and found a long blond hair in it, also lack of dressing. We sent it back.

Great place to try Poutine for the first time! Typical pub food. Would have loved to have tried the wings but I was too full. Wing night is Wednesday 40 cent wings!

Four stars because they have the best specials and pub food in the area. Their competition attempts to be higher end, but read the reviews, your paying extra for ambiance and little else. Last night the wings were great and we had had to split the Edmontonian, a stick to your ribs bratwurst and pierogi plate. A huge casual space with pub style comfort food and always a happy hour!

This is a two level building with a patio upstairs and and area down below. They have different menus for each level.
Ate down stairs and got the Poutine with pulled pork. It was awesome! Huge portions and very good taste.
If I ever come to Calgary again I’m for sure stopping by.

Very nice place. Very clean, friendly, and a great place to hang out with friends. You can actually talk to and hear each other. I tried the pizza. It was OK. I would eat it again, but not my first choice. The waitress was prompt and friendly. She seemed to time her visits when I didn’t have a mouthful. Oh, and the beer is good. Erdinger Dunkel. Highly recommend.

If you’ve been around NE Calgary for any length of time, you’ve likely been to The Toad. It’s a standalone building just off Barlow Trail and 27^th Ave. If you’re exiting off Barlow, you’ll need to do a couple of extra turns to get yourself into the parking lot since the only entrance is off 27^th Ave itself or through the Hooters parking lot.
There’s a decent selection of beer. Extra points for carrying some local brews like Village Blacksmith. An also extra points for still having the Edmontonian on the menu. I had eaten this YEARS ago and before we headed over wondered if it was still on the menu. Lo and behold… it was! But I think they made it better. Two bratwurst sausages, a pile of perogies smothered in sauerkraut and bacon bits and some sour cream and dijon mustard on the side for $ 14.95. Holy toledo, Unilocalman, did that meal ever fill me up. I’m afraid with the beer it was a bit too much carb goodness for one afternoon!
Anyway, the upstairs patio remains a warmer weather favourite and the big, free parking lot is always a nice change from fighting for spaces downtown.

They have have a small and simple menu of beer selections. But I kinda like it, the choice is broad enough to cover what you feel like having. This day I went with an espresso stout.
I always loved their food menu at Toad N Turtle. They have a few original dishes and they do pub classics really well. If you order half-​nachos you still get enough nachos to make you regret why you ate what you ate and have to be a guurl and work those buns off af the elliptical machine. They also have a TURKEY poutine, I’ll let you envision the possibilities of that wonder.
Anyways for a pub that doesn’t care to call itself a «gastropub» I like Toad N Turtle. I just wished it didn’t exist the other side of the city for me otherwise I’d make it a point to drag friends into this place every weekend.
