Reviews of The Banquet (Winery)

Cody Meinema

This place is very well equipped. I highly recommend the patio area. Good food and decent prices.

Kyle Green

Outstanding place with terrific food, great drink menu and friendly staff. Has a rec room vibe with a bowling alley, arcade machines, and lots of stuff to do (they have the price is right wheel!). Tons of parking and great location as well.

R T

Had fish n' chips, lots of batter, a bit greasy fries, but the staff was excellent. Will try something different.

Amanda McLeod

I ordered takeout here last night. I was ordering a meal for myself (nachos) as well as multiple dishes to share with my boyfriend when he got off work. The nachos had many burned ones buried. I paid $5 extra for chicken and only received a …

Tanya Guay

Cute and cozy place, patio is perfect for gatherings and a good time. Food is very reasonably priced and the quality is even better! Will be going back soon! PS: order the creme brûler you won't be disappointed;)

Paul Glew

Service here isn't the best. Food portions are small also

Geoffrey Bishop

The service was friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was fun and vibrant. The food was pretty good. I went with my two kids and they were allowed to stay until 8 pm. There's only three options for them on the kids menu. My Banquet burger …

John Taffer needs to rescue this place... Bar Rescue needed

Diana Bosman

I was lucky enough to have Sam as my server. She is incredibly sweet and made my experience incredibly special. I will 100% go back.

Chronicles of Damian

Service was very slow. Food was good but small portions for the price. We sat at our table for half an hour before getting served, we only got served as I rang the bar manager and asked for service.... the bar itself is awesome and has lots of potential.

Jonathan Lambert

Great food...great service! Kelly N. took great care of us!!

djwiseguy1

$200 for a stein $250 for a locker for that stein Priceless when you spend from 12:30 on waiting for a drink in that stein just to be told it’s after last call so pay your bill and get out. Won’t be back.

MegzDee

food is always good but the service is the worst. cold breakfast not even room temp and missing item... when we complained she just walked away there was no one even there and we waited an hour .... should have learned this from when we paid 100 bucks for wagyu and it was cold and the server did nothing and said nothing.

David MacDougall

Great food on the patio and friendly staff. Lots of specials and enjoyable atmosphere post covid.

Brenton Van de Venter

Had amazing service,had a blast, next time I come back I will be asking for Sarah specifically:))

Aliona Panaid

Tried to have a dinner with my husband and our 3 kids on the patio, wanted to celebrate our little ones second birthday, but "the covid rules" are only 4 person in the table. What? Like really. Even if LO stays in my lap all the time. Very disappointed in the management.

Jesse Jones

Great place, for morning breakfast

Jamieson

Great food, good drinks, and a solid fight broken up by security to finish off the night. Would 100% recommend to a friend.

Othman Abdelhamid

the place is excellent service is awesome drinks menu is great The wings was terrible tho. please consider changing how its made

Steve Doucet

Really enjoy the patio!

Rowan Welyk

Enjoyed coming to this bar, food was good, our server Sam was super friendly! Going to have to come back for some arcade game showdowns and bowling!

Allan Brydges

Great place with variety which includes 10 pin bowling on the bottom floor and separate bar!

Yoanna Puah

Great food, service, drinks and atmosphere.

Herb C

Great patio and food

Nathan Mccann

Consistently good, fast service. Food has always exceeded my expectations as well.

Ethan Lacusta

Solid bar. Roof top patio is awesome.

Melody Kaya

Great location but the food isn't as good as it was before. The cocktails are pretty bland and very strong. The chicken gyoza used to be one of the best items on the menu but now it is really bad. The service is good.

Adam Mackenzie

Kira was friendly polite and attentive.

WoopTango

Went out with a couple of co-workers and had the most amazing experience. Sam was our server and I honestly don't think I've ever received better service from someone, so friendly, approachable and kind. 10/10 would recommend.

Ola Jegede

I had the banquet burger and it was absolutely delicious and the time between when I ordered and got my food was real short which is very pleasing. Would definitely recommend and would come back

AdS

Sorry but let's talk about squandering a great opportunity! They have the best patio in town but it's beyond run down and dirty. …

Neil Ripplinger

Nice place to go with family. Can do bowling until 8 p.m. with minors.

Tom Ellis

Albina is a great server! ????

Dani

Took forever to get our food

Jigger Armstrong

I honestly love this place, excellent food and atmosphere!

Laura Jennifer

Buttered shrimp and croissant was something i couldn't part with even after I'd eaten the shrimp.

Mariana cavalcante

Can’t enter if your not Canadian.

Christopher House

Nice to see a local business supporting Project Falcon! Enjoyed my meal, cold drinks and good company!

Rachel J I

I have been here a few times, great atmosphere. The rooftop patio is amazing and makes you feel like you are no longer in Fort Mac. Fire booths and heat lamps on the roof make it cozy no matter what the weather is like. Bowling alley is …

Pj Edmonds

Great place for an afternoon pint

karissa hayden

1 star is generous.

Shane Haas

Olivia was great, very friendly had a awesome time ????

Zachary Andersen

Great outdoor terasse and nice arcade games, affordable menu too. Would eat here again/recommend to a friend.

angie gouthro

Fun for the whole family good food , patio and bowling

Fethril

Was pretty awesome, played bowling with the boys and the waiter was on point! Shout out to the waitress!

Clinton Ekelund

Lunch and dinner menu is great! Don't expect 5 star dining, but appetizers and light meals for a very reasonable price. Avoid breakfast for sure. The chicken sandwich is the best item on the menu in my opinion.

Amy Marie Collins

The atmosphere and staff are amazing at this place. Bowling is fun.. My only complaint would be the food is inconsistent. Sometimes its good and sometimes its horrible. If it's really busy, chances are the food isn't going to be great but that has just been my experience. BUT It's a good place to go and have drinks.

Tyler Kelloway

I love The Banquet! Been going there since the day they opened and I highly recommend it for drinks with friends or a quick bite! The food is good and inexpensive and they have tons of different beers on tap. They also have tons of activities like bowling, arcade games and pool tables!

Vitaliy Hrynkevych

The hostess was a conceited pos.

Heather Burchett

Such a great place! We brought the family after church Sunday for our first visit and we were very happy. Kelly was a wonderful as our waitress and the food was very reasonably priced. Not crowded at all at this time. Food was good, my …

Arash Khodabandeh

Nice idea, good atmosphere, beautiful decoration They have pool table, bowling, foosball and some other cool things. Tast of the food really depends on any individual but I personaly did not like the foods. Also not many options on the menue. The upstairs was also closed I am assuming due to the rain.

Ben Johnson

Excellent bar service, great atmosphere. Ask for Ross for a kickass old fashioned.

devon wilcox

Katie was a wonderful server! Super kind & friendly.

Andy Hutchison

Atmosphere was awesome.would give a second visit.

Lyndsey Janes

KIRA was so great and she was such a great server!! love the banquet it’s the best bar in fort mcmurray!

Courtney Kontuk

Gotta say, the staff here is amazing! The food is also amazing! Even when super busy, I’ve always gotten what I need, especially if Kira is my server. During Covid things can be tough, but you guys have remained rockstars

Tracy Kim

Food is cheap and taste okay atmosphere is fun

Ryan Burke

Eddie and Kira are SO good !!!

Jutna McKutna

Absolutely packed. To be expected seeing as it just opened. Bowling was fun, we all had a great time. Pricey though.

Nicholas Denault

Excellent bar service, get Spencer to make you an old fashioned. Best one in town????

Clerea Danisa

Albina is a server here and her service is not only impeccable but extremely professional and inviting. Her warm personality lights up the room and allows my and my friends to feel comfortable to ask her for anything. Not only does she have exceptional timing but she also checks in on her tables regularly.

Carter “ToppingSea7” ofthesea

Horrible bar, waiter didn't come to our table more than once drinks did not taste right and they use too much liquid smoke in ALL of the food

Chris Nixon

Very fun casual atmosphere. Beautiful patio.

Seasons

Had good games and food for a limited menu. Nice open patio upstairs. Down side was slow service. Seemed like the staff was pretty young and hanging out with each other alot instead of doing rounds. Very unorganized.

Kayode Titus

The place is good for hanging out, bowling and having a few drinks , but the food ain't no good to me

Andre Lambert

It’s just ok. Space is massive and has a great patio upstairs. The food is mediocre and seems to be prepackaged/frozen, but it is reasonably priced. The beer selection is generous however it’s all large brands, nothing original. I would love to see a rotating tap or something like it where an Alberta brewed beer could be enjoyed.

La Petite Maison Registered Massage Therapy

This is a review for a skip order. I'll start with the good, the food tasted amazing but... it's easy to make 4 individual half pieces of asparagus taste amazing. …

Tony Keller

The smoked wings were excessive and not overly seasoned to well. I smoke many things but haven't ever had something that strong. The service was slow even though there was tops 20 customers in there.

Adam Petten

Service was great, the prices are surprisingly fair, but the food so far is "cheap" forsure dont get the banquet burger McDs is better there. Some portions like stir fry and mac n cheese are small. Fires are good if you like salt

Abdi Ismail

Cossy place. Nice workers

Sean Ghormley

Beautiful patio terrace and a solid burger.

Christie Campbell

We love this place! The Ceasar salad is great, fries and poutine are so good. Potstickers=yum! The burgers are weak. You can get better at A&W and the mac and cheese should be avoided until they improve it. We were told it's been sent back by many others and they're working on it. Love the service, ambience is good (never been there late at night tho). We personally love playing shuffleboard there.

Jocelyn Howe

Sarah was amazing!!

Blaine Prangnell

Shauna and Caitlin are the absolute best!!! The food is great, the atmosphere is great, love the patio

Tammy Slauenwhite

We have eaten here many times now and 9/10, the experience has been excellent. The prices are low but the quality of the food is better than we expected. I have not had a bad meal yet. I gave 4 stars only because sometimes the wait times …

Jack Mazzei

Went in last week with a couple friends after a crazy long drive. Had Sam as our server she was kind and fun and helped us get over our road trip soreness with a couple beers thanks

Julz Mac

This place has a very good atmosphere and nice staff, but the food isn't that great. Put more sauce on your dishes and make the meat more flavourful.

Greg Igbodudu

Nice place.Good food and great place for bowling.

Geoffrey Coulthard

Food is mediocre. Seems like they're trying too hard to be something when they should just focus on making good food.

M A

The tropical negroni was disappointing. Nice space though. The waitress was eager to serve. I deducted 1 star for the tropical negroni and the other because there is R Kelly on the playlist

Patrick LeFort

Impressive! Good staff amazing atmosphere! Foods not the best but for the price is pretty amazing.

Destiny Ezurs

The flintstone rib is unreal. The patio is awesome and the decor is top notch. Since they made some changes in its staff it’s improved a lot.

Angela Royal

Fun atmosphere, younger crowd, food is different

paul Cooke

This place is pretty sweet. Food was ok. Great atmosphere. Bowling alley as awesome

Morgan Manuel

The manager is amazing at his job, the service we recieved is unmatched. Very fun and accommodating.

Andy Smith

Sara was our server this evening. Very friendly with a sharp sense of humour that kept us laughing along with her great service. Chicken wings were seasoned perfectly, but only one flavour was offered. This …

Nigel L.

Love the setup and the theme behind it. Only thing is the menu doesn't really suit my cravings for restaurant/pub food. Service is decent, although at times have to wait like everywhere else at busy times.

Oladipo Adetunji

Lovely spot, beautiful patio, amazing customer service and food is very good at a reasonable price. Bowling in the basement is a plus. In all loved the experience.

Kaitie Young

Excellent service,clean and a fun time

Michelle Galic

I live out of town and planned my sisters 30th birthday with Alex for the bowling alley. Alex was always prompt to respond and answered all my questions. The night of the party was so much fun, the bowling, the service food and drinks were …

Sean O'Gorman

Unique atmosphere.... friendly professional staff.... delicious food... highly recommend the "Pile of Bones" awesome ribs.

Alfred Santos

Great atmosphere! Drink selection is excellent, the service is a little slow though. But the server is nice so I can somewhat let the slow service slide lol.

Michael Lackey

Great food and amazing service

Daniel New

This location has tons of parking, at least until the rest of the retail stores surrounding the lot get completed. There's a great patio on the second floor that is half covered with a roof and the other half is open beam style with fire …

Andrew P

I've been here twice so far. I went there this evening. The food is decent, drinks are great and cold. Bowling is a little pricey, but when work pays for it, it's not bad. The bathrooms are horrible on busy nights, Individual stalls, the long waits..bladders full of alcoholic beverages needing to escape the body..good concept for a smaller setting, but not ideal for Banquet.

Geoff Grukker

Foods aren't too fancy, it's ordinary, but ambience good...

Karen Nixon

Food was good, atmosphere fun. Just wish we had time to bowl.

Arsene Pankeu Yomi

Food was gross Monitors tasted like ginger ale Waitress too busy

Larry Shaw

Great people. Food is pretty good. Prices are a bit on the high side

The Geisler Family

We went there yesterday for the first time before the rush hour, 6pm. And it was already starting to get very busy. Ambiance was great. There are lots of arcade games for kids to play with. You need coins for it though. The service was fast …

Kona Klip

Long wait for Drinks. Decent place. Pizza was bland. Wings were smokey but definitely not honey hot in any way. Caesar salad was decent. Might go back. But not out of my way.

Parker Jackson

Pretty good service but the drinks were pretty expensive. The food was alright nothing too special however I only had the wings. The atmosphere was pretty nice. Overall not too bad of a place

Dana Lenyk

Beautiful patio; spacious and welcoming atmosphere. Staff are very friendly and service is fabulous!

Ashton

Excellent vibe, excellent food. Kira is just the best there is and Rob throws DOWN in the kitchen. Those gems deserve so much credit! ????????

Birdman

Only rooftop patio in town, awesome food & service with three floors of games and more, awesome place to go for a good time! ????????????

FineThingsFermented

Great spot with a pile of variety. The patio is big and probably the best in the city. Food is DIRT cheap which is great.

C Salkey

Great place to go by self or family. Lots of activites and when you get hungry, there's an awesome menu..

Deanne Micklethwaite

I really enjoy this place, each floor has a different atmosphere and attractions to get you out of your seat. Their patio is amazing, can't get enough of those fire tables! Food and drink menu offer a great selection. My service has been amazing and the management team there is very welcoming and friendly.

Sheena Gilchrist

Wow! What a gem! This patio is amazing! And the food and drinks, service TOP NOTCH. Day off well spent! ???? ps the mesquite sauce is amazing

Neil Vandermeiden

Fantastic specials (roast chicken). Good beer selection. Seem to be taking social distancing seriously. Friendly staff. Atmosphere is fun and light. Music is at the right volume (background).

Josh Turnquist

Great experience, our server Hailey was very polite and was always checking in to make sure me and the boys had drinks 10/10!!!

Jillijoy H

Nice atmosphere. Like an adult chucky cheese ????. Cool servers. Bowling alley was too hot ????

Alan Duffy

Lots of space. Great service. Just wished they had un-smoked wings and ribs

Scott

Great outdoor patio ! Great service, Katie was a solid waitress ????????

Daniel Rippe

I have visited this place 3 times and I have had a blast every single time. The food has been incredible, the fried chicken and the ribs are highly recommended. I have sat on the patio and it has a great atmosphere and our waitress put up with our massive table last night. Great place overall

Lorne Gallagher

Great service and atmosphere

James Hiscox

First trip with the family. Went to try bowling and have lunch. Asked for the rates for bowling, was told 69.99$ plus 5$ per pair of shoes. Said thank you and walked away. 90$ plus tax for a family of 4 to bowl ? Wow. Food is well priced and the food was good overall. I recommend avoiding the ceasar salad dressing. They make their own dressing and it is more vinegar than anything else. Maybe a bad batch. But we will avoid in the future.

Paolo Umali

Jay was great. She was fun, outgoing, made sure we were taken care of all night. Would recommend!

Tristan Talbot

Great place with lots to offer, had a fun time And the service was awesome

Lieutenant douche

Great place.

gojo

Jerk chicken wings were delicious!

nonduduzo maziya

Great vibe Great customer service

Linda Komo

Atmosphere is great. Love the roof top setting. However most of the servers were unfriendly, they made us wait for a very long time to be served and most of the female staff were dressed as if they just rolled out of bed while the male staff looked very professional.

James Henderson

One of my favorite restaurants... a must try

Jennie Vanderwal

Kira was my parties server tonight and she was great! Checked in often and was always very friendly and accommodating. It was a perfect start to patio season!

Jerome Liow

Great local place and good food but It gets pretty shady after 10 pm.

Kirby Mitchell

Had the brisket and smoked wings, my wife and I love it.

Mack

Great atmosphere and selection! Relatively quick service while under the pressure of a full house ????

James Still

My favorite place in FM

Monique Walsh

Bryanna and Nick are the best staff around. Always attentive to make sure we are enjoying our time. Highly recommend this establishment for anyone looking to sit back and relax.

Jordan MacNeill

Ordered a salad through take out, and they just chopped a lettuce head in half and put it in a take out box with one whole full sized tomato uncut. Other ingredients were missing as well. Looks like it was put together in about 30 seconds. Was not very pleased.

Kaitlyn Young

Katie was awesome! A few days ago I went in for some drinks with friends and our drinks were always full, she never missed a beat. Super friendly and made for a great overall experience. Will definitely be back!

tokoara elliott

Came out to banquet tonight, Kira was awesome, never had an empty drink ???? loved my time out tonight!

shaun cormier

Food that I have had so far has been good but the service has been the issue. Once you are sitting it takes a real long time to get someone to come over even when other servers see you are waiting. Since they have a smoker it would be nice to see ribs on the menu.

Andres Tenias

Dori-chos are great!!

Kyle Warren

Free darts, pool, shuffleboard and foosball (double size foosball!)

Shantel Du Toit

Staff was nice. Food was good.

Alexandra Fontaine

Sarah was awesome!! ????????????????

Toni Tolnai

Food was incredible and Chelsea's service was great:)

Brandon

Kira is da bomb and the food was absolutely Incredible!

1 .2

Good place ????

Isa Huguete

To be quite frank, the food here is not the greatest. Decent and affordable but definitely could use some improvement. That's my personal opinion though. In terms of the atmosphere and entertainment, they rock! A little pricey but they have …

Thomas A

Awesome decor in the restaurant. A great place to drink with friends and not go broke either. Prices for the quality of food is amazing. Super friendly service is also a plus.

Mrs. Cull

Great food, great service! Need to work out some kinks but what business when first opening doesn't have some kinks to be ironed out. We will definitely be back.

Matt Salem

Helpful and friendly staff, food was great for the price, will definitely be coming back here for more events.

Luis Perez

Good place to enjoy the moment. Chatting, good music, and food good as snack. No for really hungry people. But the food is tasty .

John Kennedy

The food was delicious, the service was quick the portions where perfect to share and the drinks came out just right.

Joseph

We had a friendly chat with the bartender in the basement. Surprising the impact happy staff make on the overall experience. I also noticed a manager helping out serving and cleaning, exactly what makes a great business.

Steven Crowe

Fun atmosphere and did some bowling! Server Renee was fun and overall a really fun expirience

Linda Lylick

Great food, drinks were terrific & service was awesome!

Adriana Sanandres

We went for bowling with the kids and had a blast. The bowling attendant was awesome, caring and really good with young kids.

Travis Galenzoski

Dropped in for a simple meal and beverage and was served in decent time. Samantha ensured customer service was tops. Thanks for the experience and great food and cold drink.

J S

When we got there, we seated ourselves. The server took about 5 mins before she noticed us. I gotta say, we came there on a Saturday night it was given that it wanna gonna be busy. She took another 5mins to get out drinks and another 5 to get our food. The service was quiet slow but she was nice. The food was not good, I ordered the premium hotdog Saturday special, you can get a better hotdog at New york fries. The ambience was really nice at the rooftop at night. We came downstairs in the basement for bowling, it was also really loud. The bowling was really nice and fun! However one of the guys sitting accross us started eating my friend's poutine and fries (they seemed drunk so we didn't bother). Overall it was an okay experience, will come to see that maybe it got better!

Borrey Kim

Was great to sit on the patio and enjoy going out for some food and drinks out with friends.

Timothy Payne

Emily rocked a birthday party tonight! I had a great time and will be back because of her! Thanks again :)

Cummings Maritza (Nars)

Not impressed with my most recent purchased

Jaisoun

That was fantastic. The smoked items on the menu are all just great; the wings, the ribs, and the brisket. Get the brownie in a tin can, it's odd but the salted caramel is great. Lots of great bar games to play like jumbo Jenga and cornhole. There is as a bowling alley in the basement as well.

Chellah

Might’ve been a busy night, but it took a while to get seated and hardly got any service.

Andrew Gorman

Service was excellent, staff was extremely friendly and the food was exactly what we hoped for at a very good price.

David Crosby

Menu was revamped since last visit, things have increased in price as a result. Service is still below average

Udeshwar Jaswal

They try so extra with their food and to appear classy on the outside. Never order fish n chips, it's all batter people! They give only one piece of fish with one order of fish n chips?? And they do not even specify! Felt cheated! Only ups, patio is a beauty!

Aleksandar Davidovic

Beautifull place but few things need improvement. Service is not best, but they just opened and it will change over a time. Bowling price is too high, 90 $ with shoes, for a family of 4 or 5 I think overpriced, this is town with lot of young family and lot of them can not aford it, over a time price need to drop to 50-60 $ with shoes included or this place it will be empty. Food is cheep but I will never chose this place to take my family out for a lunch. Menu is like in fast food, we try half stuff, it is tasty but small portions. For example I order Pile of bones and get 5 small ribs, I did not expect much for 10.99 but this suppose to be on kids menu, my 3 year old son eat order Pile of bones (ribs) and it was still hungry. One adult can easily eat 4-5 orders Pile of bones. Hopefully menu will change and bowling price drop.

John Plumer

AmaZing service by Kira !!

Sakhi Ndlovu

Albina is amazing! She’s an excellent server who is incredibly friendly and kind whilst preforming quick with service.

Jon Hawco

Awesome food and scenery. Will go again.

polina Naumenko

Had dinner here with some friends, our server was Albina and she did an amazing job. Not to mention her refreshing sense of humour.

Sean Sweeney

This is a grest date night restaurant. Great food, cool vibe, nice people and bowling.

Rollie Landry

Great food, service, atmosphere and drinks!

Samuel Mongera

An amazing place to visit, the atmosphere was pleasing and the staff was very welcoming. …

C DUB

Tango Tacos AMAZING!!! They run a 2nd branded restaurant out of their kitchen (The Banquet) and its awesome! Tango Cantina. Haven't had a better taco platter since Puerto Vallarta. My favourite is the Pick 3 tacos, comes with homemade …

Paula Manuel

Great atmosphere and great service. Our server Kelly was amazing. This was my second time there and it has been great both times.

Taylor Lehman

Erica was an amazing server and kept my Prosecco coming! I don’t come here often but if she was serving I’m more likely to visit!

Chris Stamp

When they first opened up I gave them a one-star and thought they were horrible what a turnaround

Anureet Sandha

$80 to bowl for an hour! That’s outrageous! In addition, poor quality food and definitely requires a chef change. Even the servers have no clue what they’re doing or saying. They definitely require proper training.

Cody Ivey

based on past experiences. This is a fun spot to meet up with friends.They offer bowling and pool tables, plus other games. I didn't much care for the food. But, I've always had great service and the drink selection is excellent.

Zach Boos

Sara was the greatest! Incredible service

Josh Cechetto

Food and service have been absolutely excellent each time I have been here

Andrew McPhee

The Banquet is hands down one of the best bars I've ever been to, even better than most of the ones in Calgary. Amazing management and service every time I've been there and can't wait to get back!

Kat Tomie

Atmosphere was awesome, food was ok. Big Banquet burger patties were like the cheap ones we buy from the grocery store. Beef dip was good!

rory mcinnis

Had a great meal with a friend, the smokey flavor of the wings was great!

Dion Brake

Facility is super nice, really different vibes throughout. So much potential. My server tonight was the best I've had since this place opened and the quality I would expect. Overall experience still not quite there yet.

Spencer Chaulk

Fun place, good food, fun atmosphere, bowling, billiards, retro games,...

David Foster (Dave)

It was a very nice experience eating at the Banquet, friendly staff, food was good and the prices were reasonable.

Garett Gessner

Great Wings! Expensive Bowling :-(

Nicholas Cardinal

good place to eat

Riley Butler

Sara was a great server and we had a good time at the banquet. 5/5 but there was this weird guy named Brad walking around in a blue suit talking about crypto that was really off putting. Screw you brad!

Trae Miscampbell

First experience was absolutely terrible took over an hour to get a drink even though me and my friends had to get 3 different servers to go make sure that our drinks were on the way still. Then it took half an hour to get our bill for that first round of drinks so that we could go upstairs. Walked out onto the patio and it was hotter out side than it was inside because of the over head heaters, and took about 40 minutes to get someone to turn our Heater above us off. On top of that it took over 20-25 mins to get a servers attention to get drinks and food menu's. The food tastes good; buuuuuuuut over priced and small portions, my buddy orders the "pile of bones" and let's just say it was literally just a pile of bones and nothing more hardly any meat on the ribs. Then finally when we've had enough we try to pay our final bill but it took over 20 minutes again to get it and while waiting for it me, my brother and my friend start getting harassed by maybe the drunkest person I've seen at a bar ever he could barely stand barely talk and was trying to pick a fight and to our suprise not one server bar tender or bouncer was trying to get buddy to leave us alone leaving us to deal with it our selves, almost getting physical at this point my brother went and got a bouncer him self once realizing that no one was going to do anything and finally got the guy kicked out. I must say any other bar in town would have cut the guy off or thrown him out but you guys decided to let him go around ruining people's nights. I highly suggest a bigger staff and perhaps buttons like the Brewhouse so instead of trying flag down a server and being ignored you can just hit the button and the server comes over when you need them. Look forward to coming to your establishment again once you guys have settled and have better trained staff on duty. Save your sorry's just fix the problem, this bar has the potential to be the best spot in town.

Jenica White

Right idea, wrong approach. Very inviting atmosphere however food was tasteless and something is wrong with their smoker. We had to pay 3 different tabs for the lounge, bowling and drinks. There should be a general tab. As well, bowling was insanely expensive and very crowded. Servers were also delivering food to the wrong tables constantly (which is understandable because it's a new place). Will not be returning. 04 June 2021 UPDATE: I fibbed from my last post, I DID return. I returned because my partner and I are on the keto diet and thought we would give it a second try. We sat on the patio (obviously because of Rona). I liked how it was covered in fake foliage to cover up a unestetically pleasing view. They had good music and drinks as well. The food was on par with pub food. I did ask for nothing deep-fried and something came deep-fried and it wasn't taken off our bill and we didn't eat it. We honestly didn't eat much of the food and enjoyed the drinks instead. Olivia was attentive and when we made a suggestion about the mosquitos she told her manager and he came over. The restaurant could definitely benefit from a Mosquito repellent. We use KONK to spray around our property. You could spray it in your foliage to help. The mosquitoes are flying bats this year and if you're not careful, a strong wind and now your gone to become a human Capri sun.

Jonathan Bennett

Food and atmosphere great. The patio is killer! Our server was funny and our glasses were never empty!

Alex Gauthier

The place is still getting over some growing pains of being new but overall its a fun place to go that will only get better with time. Lots of activities to do at the bar.

Anita Haine

Kira was excellent ????

Raymond Guang

Great atmosphere, really enjoyed the service and food. Will go back again soon.

Audrey Burden

Jay was our server and she was great! Super attentive and friendly. Would recommend this establishment to anyone!

Joshua Minard

I came into banquet with some friends a few days ago, i had the banquet burger with fries and gravy and it was all delicious. My server was sam and she did a fantastic job, i always had a full drink and she was very attentive to the rest of my needs as well. keep up the good work !

Daniel Rowan

I came for the first time tonight with my wife and some friends. We ordered the brisket, fish and chips, steak sandwich, and chicken wrap. Our server, Elaine, was 10/10. She was extremely attentive, hospitable, and had a lot of great recommendations. We had a great experience. Will definitely be seeing us again!

Brianna Macdonald

Such great drinks and a really good mac and cheese! Good place for girls drinks.

James Semple

Lots of fun! Fish and chips are great. Forgot how much I like bowling!!

Sydney Elian

Love the patio!

Jes Ro

Had a little hiccup with service at first but manager Ron and server Natalie cleared up and provided exceptional service! Great place, great service, great atmosphere and delicious food!!

Vanessa H

Great food. Try the brisket

Blair Fagan

Emily was a great waitress, very timely and kind

Tyler Cochrane

Had an amazing time at the banquet. Each floor is a different atmosphere. Our server Emily was great at keeping our drinks full and very knowledgeable with the menu items. I will be back!!!!

Kevin McDonald

Bowling prices are ridiculous, charging double at certain hours. 1 hour of bowling for 4 people with shoes is $91. Way too much! Why do you need to charge customers almost double at certain times? This is taking advantage of customers, as well as losing many at the same time.

Marcel Corbin

Been here 3 times, food was bad each time. Some drinks were made right

Ashley Breadon

Great spot! Awesome food and drinks and always friendly staff!

Daryl Patton

Awesome atmosphere and tremendous quality service

Tom Wickens

Food is very well priced. They make up for it with drink proces... A pint of beer is $10.. service is also very slow

Chrissy Beswick

Excellent food and service. The sushi and Takoyaki were amazing and so was the teriyaki chicken. The restaurant has a good ambience and friendly staff. I will come back here again if I come through red deer most definitely!We had the seafood medley and very flavourful to the pallet.

Shawna Krueger

Had the best brunch ever. Didn't know I had to drive all way to Fort McMurray to have fun. Some of the friendliest people on the planet earth. Thank you Jerry for making our brunch the best.

Ryan Loughnane

Great food and awesome service! Nicole rocks and has killer tattoos.

Adam Gough

This place never answers there phn try make reservations pfft good luck ridiculous

Darlene

Jason Todd

Great food great service. One of our favorites places to go.

Mark Blackwood

The bar looks great and has a nice vibe. Overall the bar looks amazing and I love drinking there.

Glen McDonald

Good food, slow service

neil coates

Great service nice atmosphere

Ross Ephgrave

Purely from a courier standpoint, orders are often late and staff ignores couriers

Jordan Cook

Atmospheres a 10, service 10, chilled jack honey 10 and just all around good vibe.

Mark Downer

Great atmosphere, servers are friendly and bowling was fun!

Suzanne Murphy

We had a great dinner ,the salmon was the best, and my steak was cooked just right, also our waitress was the great

Kyle Plamondon

Mushroom Swiss was great

0s0s oso

Good place! Great ambient

Tyson Hoskins

Best patio in town!

Dave Johnston

The usual terrible service always waiting for a drink cause only one waitress trying to serve an entire bar not there fault just poor management

Bryan Morgan

Bowling is ok, food is garbage

James Deane

Food was Terrible. Actually disgusting. Bowling alley was closed. It seemed really small. I heard a rumor that they had really nice arcade games. They had a few but it was all on 1 floor that was visible or available. More hype than anything. Pretty sad place to live if this is one of the Hotspot or coolest places to hang out.

Jhanna Armstrong

Great service. Elaine, our server went above and beyond, keeping our one year old happy for the duration of the meal. Great food, great atmosphere.

Jon MacDonald

Decent food but the bowling is extremely overpriced. 70 bucks an hour. Just rediculas.

Rachel Eldridge

I always have a great time there! One server in particular stands out to me, Sara always has the best service and best recommendations! Last time we went we asked specifically for her, I got her to surprise me with a drink and it certainly …

Dave Caldwell

Have bowling lanes was fun

Vern Friesen

Definitely a unique place with pretty good food. The service isn’t always the greatest but, in their defence, it does get a little busy at times.

Oscar Obinabo

The Banquet is a phenomenal grill and bar with wonderful service and the ambiance is special. Sara was our server and she was a spectacular host. I would recommend any day of the week.

spencer cheecham

Love drinking from my stein here

Dawson Romanuik

The food is probably the worst part about banquet, if you're hungry I recommend stopping somewhere else before heading to banquet, otherwise their specialty cocktails are only ok and definitely not for everyone, the beer selection is decent, the best part about banquet and the only thing that keeps me coming back is the fun atmosphere and selections of games, including bowling, shuffleboard, cornhole, etc.

Douglas Gorman

This place is awesome! I have never been there and I live 3000kms away. It was one of my friends birthdays who lives in the Mac and he was there, I called to send him some birthday shots and the sweet girl Olivia who answered the phone took care of it! Just wanted to say that’s awesome!

Nic Barron

Great location, good food and fun drinks! Plus there are 3 levels in which to enjoy yourself. The upperdeck is my favorite. I will be frequenting this place for many years to come.

Francis Blay

So so services

brady courtney

COME SEE WES! He’s such a sweet heart, and made our bowling date night such a blast! ALL the stars for Wes ❤️❤️❤️

Savannah Hindy

Why does the hollandaise sauce taste musty. It made my mouth taste like moldy cheese, and my potato “hash” looked like it was cooked for 14 seconds and thrown into a box. Not happy for a first time experience.

Mersha Damtew

I came for the first time tonight with my wife. We ordered Chicken Gyoza, Buffalo Mushroom Caps, Mixed Beats Salad, Smoked Wings, Caprese Salad our server, Trisha, was 10/10 she was extremely attentive, hospitable, and had a lot great recommendations. We had a great experience. Will definitely be seeing us again!!!

Justis Hillson

Best bar and patio in town. Service and prices can’t be beat.

David Rowbottom

Great food

Damian Mellsen

I gave them one star for the waitress being kind and the patio. Chicken was so salty it was inedible. The brisket must have been from 1934 and sat in the desert since then. Cowhide would be easier to chew. Corn bread burnt. Said they were …

Darian Delparte

Really impressive location, food was great, service was great, and the atmosphere was pretty good as well. Looking forward to coming back.

Desmond Wilson

Great atmosphere, food and service!!

Stephanie Blaire

Was super excited to try this place out and although I really liked the atmosphere , the food was kinda disappointing, really disliked the wings so super bummed that they only offer the one (gross) kind. Service was friendly but slow.

Jason Kinsey

Great service, great food, great atmosphere.

Andrea Serroul

Overcrowded. Very loud. Food was bland. Kids are in the establishment after their 8pm time. Gave the restaurant a couple visits to see if our experience would improve. The cocktails on tap are excellent. Some of the games should be reconsidered as we were sat at a table with basketballs literally flying at us. Wouldn't sit us on the patio after waiting 40 minutes for a table and literally staring at empty tables on the patio. However, would likely be fun after having dinner elsewhere.

Junior Mudzingwa

Great service tonight thanks to Kira!

Dylan Savoury

Went bowling with a few buddies for the first time and Katie killed it! Never had an empty drink, and she has quite the sense of humour. Will be back!

Ashley White

Awesome prices and delishious food !! Staff was amazing :-)

Rahul Yadav

Really nice patio. Chicken wings and chicken dishes are simply amazing. Decently priced beers. Chicken wings are worth the trip. They have boing and arcade games but we didn't check that out

C Mc

Place looked awesome! The decoration was on point. Loved the 1976 Plymouth van seat style booths. The "man cave" (hate that term) look was nearly perfect. The tables are great and set up well. The music was good, volume where you could talk and getting louder as it got later and it changed to a club style I ordered the brisket. It tasted like nothing but charcoal. Nearly inedible. Everyone else liked their food so I'll give it a pass. The bathrooms, individual private kind. Long line , not enough of them, and just disgusting. Dont know how someone managed to pee that far up the wall. Savages. Overall not bad for a brand new place. Has potential, will return. Do something about those bathrooms though.

Trevor Tatum

Emily is a great bartender I had an amazing time, never had an empty drink

Courtney Bi

Fun place for a night out.

Rob Abel

The place looks nice and obviously there was a lot of thought and passion put into making it look the way it does. However, the initial excitement wore off rather quickly after sitting down and taking a look at the menu. Had we not already ordered drinks, we would have walked out and went somewhere else. To be quite frank, the menu selection is embarrassing and barely a step above any of the local fast food places. After talking to our waitress and wanting to give feedback to have a manager improve said menu, we were told that this place would mainly be focusing on getting people drunk going forward. Ok then, just what this town needs more of... I can't say we will be going back.

Chadwick Wilson

Great service... tasty apps!

Morgan MacDougall

Albina is awesome!! Super attentive and Always makes sure you got a drink ready

Christopher Michael Myles

Really good food, great atmosphere as well, worth going

Josh Antonath

Slow survice worse food and all they want is to get you so messed up you can't notice or leave . I wish there was a 0 star option

Pauline Colbourne

Excellent service and the food we had was delicious..definitely will be back!!

Carlos Martinez

Ainsley was superb.

Richard Hucul

Was really good injoy my time

Andrea A

Food was totally tasteless. The big banquet was essentially an attempt at a McDonald's quarter pounder but ended up more like a sad excuse of a sandwich. Poutine wasn't that great either. Definitely misses the mark on food.

Marina

Great food, great crew, great fun!

akiesha Richards

Perogies pizza was awesome.

John Kettles

Terrific food and a fun place to hang out. Plenty to do here.

Leanne Humphrey

Had a great evening at the Banquet, as per usual! Our server, Sara with no H, was so sweet and fun!!! Our food was delicious too ???? took away 1 star as the bathrooms were a bit unkempt and the door handles were damaged!

smallhook bigworm

The nachos presentation was uniquely different than other local establishments not just hum drum tri colored. The pork belly was out of this world, my dinner partner looked at me with utter discust and muttered you have a problem when I requested to finish his pork grissel. I've hit rock bottom.

Blake Rudofsky

Its a fun place to have a few drinks but the food menu was very disappointing

Summer Johnson

The smoked ribs and wings we had were just super salty, with the one saving grace being the Dori-chos. It made up for the other short comings.Overall I enjoyed the spot, in time I am sure it'll grow into something more. When they do figure out and fix all the minor kinks and service issues; I would love to see what they can accomplish.

Shelby Willis

horrible service. been there multiple times and never had a server greet me. the odd chance they do, they take forever to check on you, waited an hour for a drink... they don’t write orders down so forget a lot of things. food is meh. bathrooms are always disgusting.

Gabriel Tremblay

Had the best time at The Banquet. Great atmosphere and some great drinks!

Scotty

Emily is an outstanding server! Very polite and easygoing! Top-notch ;) Scotty

Brady Lewis

My friends and I had a great night at banquet tonight. Emily was our server and she was amazing! Our drinks were always full, had no idea what we wanted and she suggested everything and it was great. Fort McMurray needed a place like this.

remdeathcunningham

I had "pile of bones" and the ribs were tender if a little on the spicy side. My friend had the brisket ends but they were super smokey and he couldn't eat them so they removed it from our bill

Lyn Pauls

Had a good lunch ???? with an friend

Maribel Ramirez

I'd given it 5 starts if they had served us better... The place was not busy, yet they took ages to bring our drinks. We'll find another place to accommodate large groups for next time

Donovan Faucett

Deanna and Katie took such good care of us, and kept us entertained all night! Will be back to see them!

Kaelan Kendall

Had a great experience enjoyed the excellent service from Pita ,thank you banquet !

Jill Williams

Food is cheap but terrible. Alright place to go for drinks

Brandon Boisvert

Excellent food and probably the best outdoor patio i have ever been to

Zack Sheehan

Had an awesome time at Banquet! Sarah is the best server ever and cute as hell

John Parsons

Lovely atmosphere with quality drinks and food. Will definitely be back.

Jennifer MacPhail

Food and service were meh. Booked a birthday party for some drinks and bowling. Lanes were shorter than average and quite pricy, $80/hour. Service was dodgy but it's new so could improve. Love the idea of the place.

Vivian Rosin

The Banquet is a great place but the service is terrible. I hope the owner or manager sees this. Your staff is not serving the customers unless they tip. It should not be …

Heidi Gould

I really like this place! Love the three different floors all with their own atmosphere and the options to play pool, old school video games and bean bag toss! The service is usually pretty good. Excellent location, finally a great place to have a drink in Timberlea!! Keep up the great work Banquet Team

Katie Keegan

Such a great place. Been here a couple times and the service and food is always great! Had Sam tonight as our server, she was great at recommendations of the menu, fast and attentive!

Craig Vanderwoude

The steak sandwich was full of gristle, my gravy was cold, the big banquet burger wasnt anything to write home about and it was very hard to have a conversation with the person sitting beside you without have to almost yell. The whole concept of the place is great though, very well thought out and executed.

Brittany Davis

Pretty decent food - not very tasteful. Great atmosphere - warm and friendly staff. It isn't where you'd go a lot, it's quite expensive - especially bowling.

Daniel Ouellet

Awesome service! Went bowling and everything was so clean. Great experience!!

Andrew Cornick

Katie is an excellent server. Always such speedy service.

Sylvain St-Louis

Clean food good price

Brian Schiller

Food and Drinks have been fantastic, it's a nice place and well setup. Experienced servers that go above and beyond. I loved the smoked ribs and smoked wings. My friends won't stop going on about the chicken sandwich. Definitely my new favorite place.

Luke Cyr

Great patio & great food!!

Gwen Dion

Great bar staff! Affordable, quality drinks. Ross was great. Made us an old fashioned that actually tasted good!

Merissa Norman

We have been to the Banquet 3 times since they have opened, and all 3 times have been a great experience! We love the upstairs/outdoor patio; such a great atmosphere! Our most recent visit, we had a great chat with the assistant general manager, Spenser, who was so kind and informative, as well as our waitress Tamara, who both insisted on comping our meal, and catered to my gluten intolerance! Great food, great service, great management, great prices; all in all a great place to have a meal!

Ronald Lemaigre

Very slow service and dry food

R G

Must stop if you happen to be in Ft Mac

Sean Cheecham

Something different, pool tables up stairs, bowling downstairs. Food was prepared well.

Chris Watton

What a cool spot. I think I'll end up here a lot. It's uptown, and it has a great atmosphere, especially the rooftop patio!!

K P

I had another awesome time at the banquet with friends celebrating a birthday party. The food was delicious and our server, Albina, was really fun and personable. We’ll definitely come back!

Riley Sheeha

Great bar & good drink selection

flip

This place is uplifting and easygoing, highly enjoy the atmosphere. My cousin and I dined on the main floor, and Jessica was our waitress. She was the perfect amount of friendly and gave knowledgeable suggestions about the menu as well always made sure our pop and drinks were never empty and everything was good. I give her a 5/5 star and we definitely will be coming back!

Brandon Greer

The place has really changed since it first opened. Patio on the roof is comparable to none other.

Kemila Stanic

Very nice and modern place with the pool area and bowling downstairs ..also beautiful patio for sommer time

Jeff Pejs

Food was good but service was poor and slow. Forgot drink orders, messed up the bill. Pretty much made every service mistake you could make.

Jeremy Ryan

My friends and I come in every weekend, drinks are cheap and the food is great! Emily has been my server a every time and she’s always making sure we have everything we need. Thanks Emily! We’ll keep coming back for you!

Jason Westhaver

Only getting 1 star because I cant select 0 stars. The service was horrible. The patio was not busy at with multiple servers on the floor. On more than one occasion we had to ask for our drink. Kind of scares me what the service will be like once it gets really busy

Taylor Mills

Albina was our server tonight and she was amazing! Good service makes the experience so much better and she made it a 10/10, was super nice and accommodating!!

Stephen Cornish

Food was decent , simple, the preparation a little heavy handed. Service was nice The bad points and hence the rating; seeing half the kitchen staff in the parking lot smoking in uniform, walking past the kitchen and seeing just how dirty it was, with food left where it had fallen on the floor, three different servers in less than 10 minutes handling our table and still forgetting things. It is what it is just don't have high expectations.

Ymm Yoga

Great service . Thank you to the manager, Andrew who accommodated our request for vegan nachos :) :) and Kira was awesome !!

Bradley Tenny

Service was non existent. No forks or napkins brought with food. When asked took 10 minutes to get napkins, but no forks. Food for our table came out 18 mins apart. My wife sat there as everyone else had food. Sent back soda as it was …

Matt Hollis

Just not my vibe. Greasy food.

Gaven.

My personal best experience at the banquet has been with the server albina she is fun, cool, carasmatic, and just makes any hangout at the banquet a enjoyed experince.

Lennea Palsen

I waited a couple weeks, to hopefully visit after some of the kinks could be worked out. I know a new place will always have hiccups. However, after dining last weekend with my father-in-law, it will be a while before going back. While there were a number of girls standing at the front counter, and we were seated quickly, it took over 5 mins before a server brought us water. We were told she wouldn't be our server though as the other girl was running a little behind, and she was helping out. We waited another 5 mins before the same girl came back to take our drink order. 15 mins later we finally saw drinks. We asked to order food at the same time. We both ordered the Banquet Burger. The food came out rather quickly, about 10 mins. Unfortunately it was quite mediocre. The burger tasted more like that from a fast food place, than a pub. My side salad was very wet - like it was rinsed off in the same bowl and the water just poured out. There was a lot of fluid left in the bottom of the bowl. Finally after waiting for the bill for almost 10 mins, a gentleman (I'm assuming a manager) came by to see if we needed anything. He had our bill to us in less than a minute, and took the payment himself. So thank you! I think the atmosphere is interesting. I didn't see anything apart from the main area, but would like to see what else there is available. I will be back, but it will be a while.

Bowie Tsang

Larissa is the best server! She is so friendly and positive attitude which makes me feel very happy to be at the right environment.

Jason Sharpe

So we were seated there and not one server came up to us to take out order. Your servers, all they care about is their social life and from a business aspect are losing you money. People here that are establish and spend money tour losing on

Jerron Hawley

Great to have a place like this here in Fort Mcmurray!

Gordon Kwasney

The dry ribs are delicious
