Reviews of Better Than Fred's (Translator)

Al Cook

Good food and good music and good service

Brianna Koenig

Service was good for it being a holiday. But.. can you really call the boneless wings "wings" when they're more like boneless dry ribs. Hahaha

Heather Mae

Always active and so much fun good food too !

Lance Colton

Got takeout (BBQ sampler) and it was all pretty good, I'll be back for sure. My side coleslaw was fine and the perogies were a generous portion I saved for lunch the next day. $7 for a bottle of Corona while I wait seems a bit steep. I really needed that sanitizing lime, though. Place was almost dead thanks to COVID-19.

zacharia

Always fun to play pool and the food is bomb, always go for bacon wrapped chicken wings on Monday.

Rich Smallwood

Excellent Service! My wife and I arrived from out of province (heading home from essential work) and were looking for a meal that wasn't fast food. We ordered while sitting in their parking lot and the food was ready very quickly. I ordered a massive burrito with perogies - YUMM! My wife ordered a pulled pork grilled cheese - yum! Both were better than fast food but my wife said the pulled pork needed some sort of sauce to make it really good. My meal needed to have more sour cream for how many perogies there were. The bacon and onions on my meal were great and the food was hot. We sat in a parking lot to eat since we couldn't eat inside. Would have been a 5* review with those small changes... and we did eat everything! We would definitely stop again!

Lots of love music, friendly staff, and the best pool tables in town

Emerice Hallock

The food ???? The staff ???? The music ???? And the all around best atmosphere

Michael McNeil

This place is amazing! Music is rockin', the BBQ is perfect, and the service is great! Definitely going back!

Marcia “Halo Tribal” Tofer

Great locally owned resto.

Nolan Dyck

The best wings in the city! I'm constantly impressed with BTF as they smoke their wings. Not only does this produce a consistent wing every time, but it brings a flavor that blows deep-fried wings out of the fryer! My favorite spot for wings, hands down.

David Yelligadu

Good atmosphere, good food and good pricing. I had the brisket platter. Brisket could have been served a bit hotter, mine was more like on the warm side. The smashed potatoes and the perogies were Delicious. The "twisters" (jalapeno poppers) were fantastic, the bbq sauce was so tasty. Mac n cheese and the dirty rice were equally delicious. We did however have a 45 mins wait for our dinner, due to short staff in the kitchen but it's totally understandable with covid times.

Kimsue Khatt

Customer services perfect.

Forrest Sutherland

Most times the staff are overwhelmed especially when it's busy but the food more than makes up for it. The food is down right amazing each and every time, and they support local bands which is cool.

B

Good food grate staff. Nice place to relax and have a drink after long work day

Shade Tree Chocolate Studio

Recently had take out beef dip here.... it was delicious. But that's not the point of my review. My point it that I just got WAY above and beyond service. Last time (6 months ago) I ordered here, I also wanted beef dip to go. There was a mistake and I got the wrong order. I only noticed when I got back to my shop and there really wasnt time to return and get it corrected. I'm not mad about this, mistakes do happen, and I get it and I accept it. So on this trip (6 MONTHS LATER) I order before I come just like last time. When I show up, the first thing out of my waitress's mouth is. "Hey, were you the one that the last time you ordered you ended up with the wrong lunch?" She comped my lunch (which I wasn't even remotly expecting) and said that it had been bothering her for a long time. Gurrrrrlllll. That is a DAME sharp memory! Thanks for making my day! You made me feel special and I appriciate it. It may or may not be 6 months before I'm back again, but I certainly will be. The food is great and the service is even better.

Johnny Hurricane

Wow! Awesome BBQ! The ribs were so meaty and juicy, full of flavour. Yum. And the saturday night music was awesome! Elvis? Rock? Experimental? It's all good. I'll be back.

Britta M

Amazing atmosphere, staff and food! :)

Dominion Lending of Grande Prairie

Great food and Amazing service!! We had a fantastic lunch delivered and the client care was above and beyond! Thank you!

Ashleigh Halbert

Our server was great, and the food was so tasty! The deep fried cheese curds were to die for.

M White

Had an amazing time painting tonight

Mike Turvey

Jar-b-que is amazing. Period. Decent bar scene here with lots of bands and groups playing regularly. Great place for a night out.

Desiree Arias

Fun place for a casual drink or for a game of pool. Awesome staff

Mac L

Fred's ribs are DECENT. Service was great. A couple lads near the bar got into it, one lad was trying to throw some slow motion over the top haymakers but didn't land any. Fight was broken up and diffused, nothing was injured except the two men's pride. Would have liked to see a better fight, but oh well.

Michele Cora Lynx

I was impressed with the fact that they offered a ginger-flavoured Strongbow, and a beer (haha) *beet salad! I took off one star due to the decor being quite rough around the edges, but then again, that's probably precisely the type of look you'd expect at a local music focal point, so maybe I'm just being an amateur interior designer here.

Ry McDons

Had the deep fried cheese curds with a hot sauce...Not too bad! Corn bread ????%. Meal was great tho mac and cheese was fresh and creamy goodness, onion rings are great quality. Brisket was very good , serious smoke going on here.

Pinksugarbb

Amazing local bar with a good team of staff. Their pulled pork is amazing but something about the sauce I cannot tolerate everytime I've tried it. Love their wings and the platter is one of me and my friends' favorites. Best place to come for pool. This place could use some renos or expanded as it does tend to get crowded. Otherwise, it is a fun place to hang out :)

Arctic Orca

Great local business. Food is awesome. To avoid the lunch rush, phone in your order ahead of time. This leaves you the time to enjoy the atmosphere!

Jesse Penner

This place was awesome :-) the food was great, I had bacon wrapped jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese... So good. I am definitely looking forward to visiting again

Lindsay

Best bar environment in GP hands down! Neat events, too. BBQ also helps. Yum.

EJ Gutierrez

I kept on hearing that Better than Fred's had some dang good BBq from fellow coworkers of mine. Well being from Texas I had to see what this place was all about. First off, great atmosphere. The locals are friendly and offer to buy drinks all the time. Second, the staff is very helpful and will help you if you don't know what you want to order or to drink. Now keep in mind the only thing I ordered was the BBQ. Third, the BBQ is ok, they lather their meat up with BBQ sauce before the serve it. To me that is a sign they hiding something, burnt or dry meat. Am not a fan of BBQ sauce but rather the quality of the meat. You can tell it's cooked over the open flame rather then smoked. Nothing compared to Texas BBQ but I have to give credit where credit is do, the pulled pork was damn good. I will be sure to order the pulled pork again. I will be sure to return the next time I am town. Nothing compares to a few cold ones with the locals while playing pool and watching the games that are on. Cheers!

Herman Bueckert

Service and food was good at 6:00. But later on the waitresses couldn't be bothered to serve us. Looked right at us, turned and walked away a number of times. Pretty crappy!!

Ashley Henry

Hidden treasure. Bar and pool hall atmosphere, food was excellent.

Dallas Bjornson

Friendly service and spectacular food. Great atmosphere to just chill and bs.

Ryan Karlzen

Not a bad restaurant. Has the bar atmosphere to it but the food is decent. Live music is played sometimes as well making it worth while.

Shay Soderquist

Best small live music venue in northern Alberta! Decent drinks and really good food. Lots of pool tables, too.

shelley kruger

Tried out their spinach dip Burger and totally loved it, as well as their dill pickle soup.

Everyday Kait - Kaity Kreiser

We had dinner from Fred's delivered to us last week and it was great!! Awesome service, food got to us very quickly and it was delicious! Make sure you try the deep fried pickles because they're AMAZING!!

Tim Widmer

Pulled Pork, need I say more? Order this and you will not be disappointed. Their soup is amazing every time too. Great location for a quality lunch and dinner and amazing live entertainment.

Taylor Gill

Good food, great service, all around good experience. They have some killer french fries!

Dorian McCready

Went for(my first) Paint and Party Night with a friend, and it was obvious the ownership and taff have real pride in what they do, as the atmosphere, hospitality, food and drink were all top notch. I frequent Fred's and will always. I mean, some of the staff have been there 10 years. Its clear they love it.

Gordon Smith

Good BBQ, quick food service at lunchtime, too many nice dishes to choose from.

Michelle Pallier

Love this place...the service is excellent and they really work to cater to the unique needs of the event they are hosting for any particular event. Crazy great food too.

joan hildebrand

The food is awesome. Right now, due to construction downtown, it is hard to park but a little drive around the restaurant and very quickly you locate a parking spot.

GG

Coolest atmosphere you can find around GP. Stopped by for quick snack and had the fried pickles and wow it was amazing! Definitely the place to go for some good fun, pool, music, or to watch the game.

Bodan Mulholland

Always a blast getting out to this venue. Great staff!

Jeremiah Deslauriers

Good live band

Robert Smith

Awesome bar! Awesome bands!

Aman Bariana

We ordered some food for takeout Wednesday and it was delicious. Pickup was quick and easy. Would recommend and definitely ordering again.

Jesse harrow

Fantastic food, great prices. Ordered a Bbq for 4 platter for takeout was less than 50 bucks and had lots of left overs.

Leroy Bluecoat

Great pub/bar. Best place for wings in town bar none... (pun intended). Very nice apnosphere repeat visits are a must. Some very good and known musical acts at times also.

Alaina Pickering

Love it here! Foods great, service is amazing, never waiting on you food or drink. They host paint nights that are a blast and the live bands they bring in are unreal! Like I said, live it here!

Timothy Schultz

The deep fried wings could come out of the fryer a few mins earlier, some were crispy to the bone but the smoked wings were awesome. Good service

Gunner

Very choice scenery and friendly bar maidens. Very interesting BBQ menu. I had the BBQ sampler for 1 and it was fantastic and a lot of tasty meats! Even the side of mac and cheese was baked and deliciously fresh. I especially Love the smoked wings and ribs!

Junior “DiTrucker” Powell

Great service... friendly staff. Awesome food.

Amber Long

Always pickup so we can eat at home with the kids. Food is consistently good and so fast! Staff is friendly.

Adriana B

Delicious pub food and great service. Always a great place to go for a show

Travis Nelson

Staff is pleasant. Service is excellent. Have not experienced any strange anomalies that defy the laws of physics within the building (I can't speak for the ladies room). I haven't spotted any vampires lurking amongst the crowd, but I swear I spotted a class 3 ghoul on the dance floor the other night. I conclude that it is a reasonably safe and fun establishment, despite my fear of ghoul and ghoul-related attacks.

Andrew Cho

I must say that our waitress, Stephany, was amazing. Her service was unquestionable. I am confident to say that she offered the best service in town!!!

David Plimmer

Delicious....so may tantalizing options on the menu, I had a hard time choosing. Boneless hot wings was an excellent choice for a light meal.

Brenda Haslam

Wow! Great find! Service, atmosphere and food was awesome!

Amanda

Seriously. This food though...omg. so good! Can't wait to get back to shoot some pool and hear live bands. Real quality bands book here never been disappointed until covid brought it all to an end... for now!

Lisa Martens

Amazing food.. super friendly staff. Love the pool tables

Shawn Watchorn

Some of best wings in town. Good live music and shoot pool. Menu is limited.

Owen Lewis

I go to this bar quite often, they are always spot on with the food and drinks and if there are any problems they will fix it. My friend ordered the Mac and cheese wedges once and as the waitress was bringing them to our table someone grabbed one for the plate ( they ment this as a joke, but was still very uncalled for). Our waitress let us keep the rest of the wedges and got us a whole other order on top of that and they covered both orders on our bill. Great staff and a realizing bar to play some pool after work with the boys.

Erica Fisher

Consistently amazing food, great atmosphere, and some of the best live music in town

Grant Watson (meandmybeard)

Great place for a night out or just drinks with friends. Nothing fancy here, just great food and a very laid back atmosphere.

Christopher Chipesia

Love this place. Everytime I'm here it's a great experience. The food is excellent and always a fun time playing pool.

Alycia Holmes

Amazing food! Great entertainment! Love going to see chiliocosm play here as well.

Ryan Wright

Awesome food great service and the atmosphere is amazing

daniel isaak

Awesome BBQ! smoked wings are ????????

J P Poirier

Good food, sports bar atmosphere, beautifull pool tables. Was in a rush to eat and get back to our activities had to rush service.

Kendall Moorhouse

The staff here are super friendly and positive. One of the best pubs I have ever been to. Well worth the visit!

Alan TV

The server is a little bit awkward with us, I know she is tired and overwhelmed with her tables guest occupancy that's why I understand so I am rating the overall food quality only and not including the service. We will definitely be back for sure because we love your spinach dip and wings appetizer. We got off from our long day at work and we decided to come visit the "Better than Fred's" restaurant and yes, we didn't get disappointed. The taste of our food is way beyond expectation. Cheers for the chefs and owners who take a lot of pride of their menu and the business. Note: The server could've done better if she visited us and asks us if we wanted to order for more food or not because after she took our appetizer order and was served by the runner guy, she didn't visited us and asked us again not even once. Don't worry about it, we are not mad or anything. Just a frustration that we see her kept checking other tables and not even stop to check on us but that is totally understandable????

Amanda Swanson

Cannot recommend this place enough. Food and atmosphere are awesome. Live music quite frequently. I always stop by when I'm in gp.

Garrett Davis

Best place in town. Live music and unreal atmosphere. Food is exceptional and the service is amazing.

Justin Levesque

Wings are good ???????????????? service is slow ????????

Jules

This place is awesome! While waiting for our food we played some pool and had a great time. The atmosphere is great and so is the staff.

Zilla72 Randoms

Great Service and Excellent Atmosphere

krysta budd

Food was really good. Service was amazing. Music was loud enough to drown out other conversation but you could still hear the people you were talking to... Until the live band started then it was LOUD. Pool tables are well maintained. Drinks are a wee bit pricier then expected but I haven't been out in a while. All around, I will go back again.

Kevin Dallyn-Cardinal

20 dollar burger, with a side poutine. Bun was soggy, not enough cheese on poutine. The waitress didn't know what was on tap, or what was the special for the day. She was pretty but didn't listen very well. Left there feeling kinda sick, Giving them a bonus star for having pool tables and live music.

Kate-Lynn Hicks

Typically we’re huge fans but their phone system is awful ended up having to order else where because we couldn’t get through :( and knowing that skip the dishes exploits small businesses we would rather stay away from them and order direct! Highly recommend they give fusion buisness solutions a call and set up a call waiting system to help their buisness thrive in the world of take out! Still love John and the restaurant just a helpful suggestion to make things even better :)

ChelsGuer4

Amazing food and service!

Efe Nester Erhigbare

A very nice place to hang out for adults. Very clean with a lot of pool tables, calm music so can communicate easily.

Wade Sutherland

Good BBQ!

homie evan

I go here all the time to play pool and drink with friends. Great staff, and great live music. Best bar in town by far, stop by, you won't be disappointed

Cam Kennedy

We were a group of 10. They forgot to put my meal through but made up for it and it was worth the wait!!! Service was good and we had a great time! Thanks!

Blue Morris

A great place for live music in Grand Prairie. The food is pretty good too. This pub / restaurant also has pool tables. It seems like it's mostly locals who hang out here. The stage for live music is fairly small, but for your average touring band that doesn't draw a big crowd it's all you need. The sound tech they had that night did a great job.

Matthew Tupper

One of my favorite places. Excellent venue for live performances as well as hanging out on a Sunday and playing pool while watching football. Great service and very friendly.

Milton Ruiz

I love this place, food is awesome, prices are super affordable. I strongly recommend this place.

Jovi Padley

Great food and atmosphere pool equipment is also in great shape

Axie Kaut

Expensive but always get great service and great drinks

Craig Vaughan

Great sound on The Tea Party show. This place has great food and decent prices. Wait staff were all friendly on a packed night! Lot of good times here!!

robert jenkinson

Great ribs, a classy place

Jen Nordlund

Love the smoked wings and the pulled pork sandwich. And the bbq burrito. And the salmon dip. And the mac and cheese bites. And the sweet chili chicken. The whole menu! Also love the live music.

jason aubichon

Awesome staff

Trudy Klassen

The fried cheese curds were amazing! Really glad my family took us here.

Brady Barkley

By far the best wings iv had! Smoked wings are amazing! Keep up the good work! I'll definitely be back

Robynne Patrice

Best bar in GP, hands down

stephan menard

Great bar. Lovely staff. Good food and affordable prices.

Kyle Kristensen

Great atmosphere and even better food. Best place in GP for a game of pool. The quesadilla with brisket is my favorite thing on the menu.

Tyson Williscroft

I've been to every bar, pub , and hole in the wall in Grande Prairie, and I can say with confidence that Better Than Fred's, is the best establishment in the city. I've never felt more welcome in a bar ever! Most places in town, like Shark Club for example, the staff is not welcoming or very rarely, and just make you feel alienated, but at Better than Fred's Grande Prairie, the staff are super welcoming and nice! Its a very family like astmosphere; also the owner is very hands on and a very nice guy! I would recommend this fine establishment to anyone who is looking for a humble, relaxing but also extremely f$&@ing awesome time! Also their Food is F$&@ING AMAZING! And the best prices in the city !!!

Wade Lillico

great food service and entertainment

Joshua Calkins

Had the worst date there. Best night of my life. Fantastic pulled pork.

Matt Ayres

Meaaaaaat. Awesome wings and great brisket. Great service and a good atmosphere

Josh (joshowash)

WONDERFUL staff and such good energy in the place. I felt so welcome. I will say my order did get messed up BUT, they fixed it right away. the boneless chicken wings are my go to. Can't wait to go back.

kathy1999fol

Amazing place and they welcome everyone and do not discriminate

Mark Sandul

John has reworked his brisket to new heights! Get in and try it. Best BBQ in town!

D L

I only order from the smoked menu, pork is the best, I always find the chicken comes out a little dry, other then that your welcome!

Jake Zenert

Awesome food as always, and great service! Try the smoked bbq meat sampler was mouth watering.

Kyra Moonclaw

Better than Fred's had never failed to exceed expectations! Delicious BBQ without feeling commercialized or gimmicky that always has a relaxing atmosphere.

John Howard

Always quick service when I eat here and the staff is always friendly. Love the food.

Techno Angel

The servers were very polite and stopped by every so often to check up on me. As for the food, The beef brisket was a 10/10! The only thing I didn't enjoy was the boneless chicken wings. They were too soft. Slightly soggy. They offered to have them remade, which was very nice of them while also taking it off the bill (which I only noticed once I got my bill.) The skor cheesecake was great and presentation was phenomenal. The Vacation on Mars was ok. The ice cream was slightly bland but it was still good enough to be enjoyable. Overall, 5 stars.

Casey McLean

I always come here if I'm craving smoked meat. So so delicious! Service is always really good as well. Love it!

Kushal B

Good bar food and selection of beer at reasonable price. We played pool and video games. It was fun

Chanse “Chanseisawesome” Edwards

Great wings! Amazing staff

Monica J

Normally we get better service but i was there for lunch today and we ordered around 12:15 and we didn't get our food till 12:50, my lunch ends at 1. I didn't have enough time to eat my lunch and we still got charged full price for our meals.

Avalon Heemskerk

Fun place to go if you want a night out but one where you can actually have conversations with people.

Brad Frazer

Worst rib dinner of my life! They were brought out and the top few weren't too bad. But then they got worse. Dried out and tasteless. They were kept under a warmer or microwaved prior to serving! Awful tasting trash! When I complained they never even offered to reduce the bill any! For $35 you could get a decent rack of ribs somewhere else in this city! Don't waste your money on the ribs people!

Sara Gaucher

Great service, great food, love the atmosphere. A favorite!

don bomers

I would like to thank the great owners and staff for also having a huge heart for the people of grande prairie with great food and kind hearts. Also would like to thank all involved for the fantastic food and kindness in helping with Everyone eats grande prairie.

kaiyao beidri

My friend and I usually eat here when I’m in town visiting because the food and atmosphere are great. This last time I came here in I ordered the Mushroom Mozzarella Burger and I can honestly say it was the best burger I’ve ever had. I legit almost wanted to cry after eating it. 100% recommend!!!

J Ball

Service was on point. -1 star because it was hard to hear the waitress through her mask.

Miranda Volk

Very good food and drinks would recommend the Peach Bellini. Music was good too!

Jamie Smith

Jess was an amazing waitress!! She was prompt, went out of her way to make sure we got exactly as we wished. Food was good, especially smoked wings. However, VERY disappointed in the brisket. Very tough

Best bar in town! Food is fresh, hot and so good. Portions are always to big for me to finish. Service is top notch. This glorious plate is only $17.95!!! Jalapeños stuffed with brisket and cream cheese, wrapped in bacon then smoked! Yummmm!!!!!

Gina Tunke

It's a good all round place to hangout or have a meal.

Tyson W

Great service. Great food. Great atmosphere.

Maria Guerrero

Best bar in town by far. Great food great service great atmosphere.

Mitch M

Food was excellent! I always order the platter to have some left overs the next day. They changed the food on the platter which I wasnt expecting but it was still delicious. I would also like to point out how clean everything was and that people were appropriately spaced apart. It's nice to see businesses taking covid seriously.

Spencer Shaw

Always a good time, great staff who care and are always on the ball. Owner presence is always on point as well, very friendly crew and even better food????. One of the only places I'd recommend going to visitors from out of town. Keep it up guys

a bench

Probably some of the best wings I've ever had. Unique menu with a BBQ theme. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Niko D

Always an amazing place for drinks, food and local shows. John's always a happy welcoming owner and the servers are great too

Bradford Garron

Love it, it is so good... amazing food

Absolutely terrible, don't ever order from this place, you are better off eating out of a trash can.

Dan Wiebe

Maple bacon boneless wings are amazing but seem to depend who is cooking lately.

Tasty and well priced bbq style food with a standard drink menu. This restaurant brings in lots of quality live music acts. They sport 6 full size pool tables and several arcade machines. Staff is generally friendly and they run daily deals through the week.

T Sorensen

Excellent food, service , & customer satisfaction!!..As Always..Thanks John for being a strong pillar within our community!!

jcob b

Great ribs and food, best live music. Love this place. By far the Best place to eat in GP. Take out is great and the girls will do curbside delivery if you have your kids in the truck.

Fred Walker

Another excellent afternoon at Better than freds. Their staff are the best. Stephanie knows us too well!

John Pittet

Was wrong salad horrible waitress was great no charge for salad.

Renee The Vegetarian Hairdresser

Great staff, fun place to hang, see a band, or just eat some food.

Cuffs Pardy

Came here for a meal which was really good. However ordered dessert that took way too long. Even paid for the meal and gave a reasonable tip before it was served. Unlikely to return unlesss the customer service rating increases...Sorry you dropped the ball!!!!

Niki .F.

Good drinks, great pool, and the staff are very friendly.

Justin H

This place is a must go for anyone living in, or visiting Grande Prairie. The food is amazing (and award winning) the service is great, and the bands are awesome. I first came here in 2008 and watched Marianas Trench perform with my now wife, and make a point of bringing everyone I can here to experience it. Top notch. P.S. Marianas trench should be a lot bigger than they are. Check them out if you're into pop music.

Aaron

Fast, cheap and easy. Brought my own oil and filter and they didn't change me an arm and testicle like some other places. Definately be coming back to this place.

Pipe Liner

Excellent food. The live shows that go through here are amazing.

Lannie Nuckols

My friend and I usually eat here when I’m in town visiting because the food and atmosphere are great. This last time I came here in I ordered the Mushroom Mozzarella Burger and I can honestly say it was the best burger I’ve ever had. I legit almost wanted to cry after eating it.

Tara Stinson

Food and service are always top notch!

Spencer Galla

Great bbq! Amazing beer selection. Pool tables by the hour and great wait staff

Kelsey Klunder

Some of the best pulled pork in town, and the greatest french fries if you like them a little on the crispy side. Service has always been good, and even if it is busy it doesn't seem really loud.

curtis neumann

Fred's has always been an awesome time. From the first time I came here 8 years ago till last night, 5/5 good time, good food, good service and awesome shows!

tya rose

Great bacon wrapped wings! Love the concerts here!

Levi

Had a great experience here for a niche game tournament they hosted. Staff was all very friendly, we had good food, and the service was second to none. Our waitress Chanelle was one of the best I've ever had, major props to her and her customer experience. She was able remember our entire groups names only hearing them once, and was never more than an arms reach away.

Chris B

Great place to watch the oilers skate and not score. still a huge fan but we need some wins boys.

Heather Allan

The best BBQ in town! Fred's is a true local hotspot. They have amazing food at a great price, delicious drinks and friendly service. They have also hosted many great live entertainment events over the years. Definitely worth stopping by!

Vannessa Maisonneuve

Good and thoughtful food, appropriate for the venue and more :) Very friendly service, pool tables for your convenience. Locally owned and run by fantastic gentleman. MANY famous and not as famous entertainers and musicians have graced this establishment over the years. This a good social gathering place with a happy vibe. LOTS of EXTRA efforts in place in recent times to make the customers are comfortable and happy, given the new guidelines that are in place. They put in the effort to ensure that the impact is as minimal as possible for their customers. I would go here if I was looking for a place to enjoy some food, beverages and pool with my friends and close people. Thank you Better for your great service!

Cheryl Steidel

Service is not good. Food is great! Really like the friendly manager but waiting 15 minutes to get service after youve been acknowledged n watch the waitress walk by 2 times. No thanks

Rebecca Jackman

Excellent service. Ordered the Cheeseburger and fries - best I have had in years!! Highly recommend and right in the heart of Grande Prairie!

Richard Stewart

Best smoked wings in town, good service and very well kept up pool tables

Serena Linthorne

Excellent food. Amazing service! Can't wait to go back

Great atmosphere, nice to play pool, beer was cold! I had a sampler with BBQ pulled pork, chicken leg, a couple ribs, side of beans and dirty rice. Group also shared a team platter with wings, natchos, perogies, etc. Portions were generous. All the "non smoked" food ranged from okay to tasty, but the flavor of the smoke on the meats was terrible, almost inedible. To me it tasted like burnt rubber. Some guys were actually not eating the wings! The pulled pork wasn't as strong but it was really dry. I've had BBQ in the southern states and this is not BBQ. I might go back for other food but definitely will not order anything smoked. Maybe it was just an off night.

Atmosphere was good, Server was nice and on top of things. Food was COLD, poutine was SUPER salty to the point of being disgusting, Ordered the pulled pork sandwich. Super dry..no sauce and my bread was BURNT tasted like old burnt toast! for a 65$ meal it was a major FAIL!!!

Busy as heck so service was medium at best but the food and atmosphere was awesome. Lots of pool tables, friendly people. Was a bit loud but that didn't bother me....a busy establishment is going to get loud. If you want quiet, stay home.

Darrell Adams

When is this place not a good time? Never is the answer people. Always something going on and if not pool tables, and video games to entertain yourself while double screening watching the TV's showing all the sports. The staff are cool and super friendly. That Karl is practically a counsellor for when you need a person to talk too. John is always brilliant with bringing in talent for live shows so if your in town go check it out.
