Reviews of Evil Dave's Grill (Winery)

Evil Dave’s second chance. I believe everyone can have a bad day. Second time was much better than round 1. For starters we had the Cowboy Sushi. Very nice and fresh with some great flavour. The Crazy Gyoza were very tasty with a nice sauce for dipping and some fresh slaw on the side. The El Diablo Chicken was very nice. Nice heat, not overpowering allowing you to still enjoy the flavours of the dish. Chicken was nicely cooked and moist. The Karma Curry with chicken was also very tasty. Very nice Thai Curry sauce with nicely cooked veggies and rice. Service this time was excellent and the atmosphere in the new space is very inviting and spacious. I would definitely recommend as a nice place to enjoy some nicely spiced and flavoured dishes.

I went for dinner with my family and had a fantastic experience. Every item we ordered was delicious. I ordered the malevolent meatloaf and I had holy cow as an appetizer which is now my new all time fav. Our server was friendly and attentive. It was very busy, I would recommend you make a reservation. If you have never eaten at Evil Dave's I highly recommend you do. You won't be disappointed.

Service was wonderful, our waitress was sublime. The food was good, unfortunately it did not live up to the hype that the local publications say it should. The seafood fare was a spiced salmon on a bed of rice with fresh local veg and a hunny mustard drizzle. Stunning to look at, but the salmon was slightly overcooked and easily recreated at home with similar results. My partner had the El Diablo, similar feelings about that dish as well. I feel that for the price there are better restaurants to eat at in town. Keep in mind our server was amazing.

Food : Good.they have food from multiple cuisine and good collection of wines. Service : Great! Price : High. Ambience: Amazing ambience with View of mountains.

Steve Hammond

The small plates are good. Our favorite is the Holy Cow. I was less pleased with the Covid-19 hygiene. The staff often didn't have their masks on in the back and our waitress wasn't wearing hers properly over the nose.

Kaitlyn McAra

It's off the main drive and a smaller location so either make reservations or prepare for a wait during peak times. The wait will be worth it if you have to. We got lucky and were able to walk in. The service was spot on and the food was incredible. If you find yourself in Jasper and want a great meal, stop in here!

Great flavours for everything! Inviting atmosphere and staff. Highly recommend.

Must try restaurant in Jasper! Great food and ambiance.

Mtn Life

Great quality of food, the Bao buns are very good but the Typhoon noodles were a bit bland. Needed more flavour and salt….maybe even a bit of spice. We’ll be back to try other items. **Google says no take out but they do take out**

Nicole Robinson

Appetizers were good. Wait time was way too long. Main coarse was awful. Typhoon noodles were plain and tasteless. Asked for extra sauce but it took 10-15 mins to come by then it was too late. They did take some money off the bill for it. I had red curry meal. Had to go get some nachos after somewhere else to fill up. Won't ever go back.

Kristian Jegodtka

Delicious and extremely wide variety of dishes served here with a daily varying meat/game dishes and a daily varying fish dish. I got the catch of the day which was fantastic and even better was the viscous tuna, it's basically seared tuna tataki served with a mango salsa and mixed greens, i'd for sure recommend eating here and i plan on returning myself.

Jared Holitski

Pricey. Mediocre food and service.

John Etzkorn

We have a hard time finding higher end food in Jasper, so when you give up the fancy and go for great; this is the place. No muss or fuss, just a super red curry bowl and meat loaf. Yeah Evil Dave! Support local during Covid and fun.

PHILIP FINKLE

Amazing food and service.

Kere Zimmerman

Best food and service we have had in a long time. Definately will return

We had dinner here two weeks ago. We had a very nice table with comfy seats. The waiter was friendly and not too present, which I like. We orderd the salmon twice. It tasted great, but mine was a little bit overcoocked. I know, that is just a minor thing, because the rest of the dish was great. We had two cocktails, an old fashioned and Gin-cocktail. They tasted fine, but mine, the old fashioned, missed 'the extra sparkle'. The dessert was.. OK. We had the three desserts to share. The chocolate mousse, which they say has to be light and fluffy, was heavy. Not a mousse at all. The cheesecake tasted like cheesecake, but my all time fav dessert was the apple cake with maple syrup. Delicious! We had a very nice evening, with nice and tasty food. When in Jasper, visit this place for good and tasty food in a enjoyable place. We'll be back! :-)

Nina Hildebrandt

The food is so good and the service was excellent. I ordered the Typhoon Noodles with chicken and my husband had the Karma Curry with chicken. Both were delicious. Our picky 3 year old said “ooo this chicken is yummy!”

Paul Horton

Our family gathered together for the first time in a long time to celebrate the passing of a family member who was born in Jasper. Our day and evening was topped off with a dinner for the entire family at Evil Dave's and everyone from the Manager to our server to the Chef did an excellent job and we would happily return again for our next trip to Jasper. Great food, great service in a well appointed space. Experience was excellent!

Mike Goss

Amazing food, good atmosphere, a must visit for anyone coming to Jasper. The waitresses are all so nice and we get fantastic service every time we come here. I had the meatloaf this time and it was perfectly spiced, no sauce needed.

Bernadine

We ate dinner here today. The restaurant is now in it's new location and is very nice inside. We had the prime rib burger with cheese added and fries. It was ok. I kind of expected a bit more for paying $30 for a burger and glass of water. I think the food was rather plain. Our server was very friendly and personable.

Kristine Fabish

Limited menu selections however it was a tasty dinner. Server was really great and attentive to our needs

Mariana Marchuk

Super cute, healthy and delicious food !

Adrian Hawaleshka

very friendly responsive service from the moment we arrived. Love the creative menu and the flavors of the food backed it up. would definitely go back.

Treena Gish

The food was so amazing. Came back two nights in a row. Best meatloaf my husband had ever had!

Ken Spellman

This was the best food in Jasper. Order the Holy Cow appetizer!!! It was the best thing I’ve ever eaten. I wish I lived in Jasper so I could order it all the time.

Brittany

It's a good place for amazing food. Although bang for your buck. It's not good barely any chicken in the hell's chicken. Barely any rice. The portion they do give you though is cooked really well. If they had better portions I would give them 5 star review. My only reason for a 2 star review is super low portioning with their food. I actually left hungry. Super big wine list if you are a wine drinker. They also have recommended drinks depending on what meal you have which is also really nice to see

Miguel Mendez

The description is quirky but it works. Thai with a mix of Alberta is strange but delicious. We had the salmon which was recommended but the real show stopper was the "holy cow". I'd recommend this place, it's warm, inviting, and a great place to get some delicious local food

Helena Li

Our waitress is amazing! Super impressive services, food is also satisfying, the best meatloaf we ever had! Chef's cut 6oz steak of $40 simply rocked!

Kathleen Neufeld

So relieved that Evil Dave’s has re-opened in a new and beautiful location in Marmot lodge! Everyone of their items is so thoughtfully created and beautifully executed! The brie is the best! And the Boa surprised me with how amazing it was! You will not be disappointed eating here!

If you go to Evil Dave's, don't expect a large portion of anything. The naan is small, the entrees are small, but what you can expect is an explosion of flavor. Absolutely delicious. Friendly staff and excellent food. Portions could be a little bigger butObut the quality is definitely there. I would come again. Interesting menu.

I usually don't trust restaurant reviews (although I contribute quite a bit myself - trying to represent Asian tastes I guess) because sometimes I just don't have the same taste in food as the majority here. But I put my trust in the google community with this one because the reviewers seemed to all come from different "backgrounds" and everyone seemed to genuinely, thoroughly enjoy the food here. So glad we made that decision because this was definitely one of the best restaurants I've ever been to in Alberta! The flavors were so wonderful and the menu was creative and diverse. You can't go wrong with Evil Dave's. I only have a photo of our appy order - the Beautiful Brie (a whole wheel of brie cheese, deep fried and bathing in pear purée and balsamic vinaigrette) because it was a bit dark in the restaurant so the photos weren't doing the place much justice. But yes, come to Evil Dave's if you're ever in Jasper!

Leslie L

We really liked the cowboy sushi.

I did a takeout but the food quality was amazing. Also based on a few minutes spent at the restaurant, it feels very cozy and has nice interior. This is probably one of top 3 best places in Jasper food wise. Highly recommended!

daniel zeilinger

Great fast meal. Wasn't expecting our meals to be out as quick as they were. We ordered the chicken and waffles, bison and boar bacon meatloaf, and typhoon noodles with shrimp. All were an excellent portion for the price and we all left stuffed. The banana spring roll was the best way to end my meal. 5/5 will definitely be back.

David Beilis

Google review photos are not encouraged in this place - true Evil. The menu changes as the chef feels making unpredictable but good experience. Enjoy.

Mike Kinsella

It was a disappointment to find out they are serving Grade A beef for the " Chef's choice". For the title AAA or sterling silver would be more fitting. I ordered the noodle bowl and it was low on flavor and interest. Decor and staff were pleasant but I'll pass on this one next time.

Chrystal Skead

Very unique menu. Exceptional taste. Service was quick and friendly. Prices are fair. Highly recommended.

Kristyn Hillis

Very good food, good atmosphere. Make sure you make a reservation on open table - it’s very popular :) We recommend the cowboy sushi, steak, and coconut cream pie. Very delicious!

Andrew Sterne

Just dined in here and we had delicious chef steak, chicken and shrimp curry, green onion bread, so delicious!????

Ariel Chen

Great service, staff, food quality, and atmosphere.

Stephen Chan

Came here on a quiet Tuesday night. Started with the Holy Cow as an appetizer for two. Beef was on point, well-flavoured and tasty. Got the Hell's chicken as well as the Malicious Salmon. Chicken was done well, tasty and well seasoned. Salmon was moist and done well, crusted to perfection. Medley of vegetables that accompanied both dishes were flavourful and cooked with consistency yielding both succulent flavours and textures. The only shame is that the Tenderloin was already sold out for 8pm on a weeknight. Would come back just for that in the future.

Michael McDermott

Waited until 8:30 for our reservation since that was the earliest we could get according to the guy on the phone. When we got there the host told us our reservation didn’t exist and then brushed us off instead of trying to help us at all. Very disappointed as we drove 5 hours to Jasper and were looking forward to this dinner. I hope the food is good because their service is terrible...

Pim van der Woude

Despite it being very busy that night, we were welcomed with a smile and shown to our table quickly. The staff (especially Sarah) are really nice, helpfull and even in for some jokes. Our food looked and tasted really good! I recommend the chef’s choice on the menu, that night it was the tenderloin steak! Should we visit Jasper again, we will definitely visit Evil Dave’s Grill again!

Jess C.

Absolutely delicious! Great variety of flavors and dishes, everything we ordered was great.

Casey McLean

The food here was absolutely top notch and each of our dishes were delicious! I don't know if I would ever return to this restaurant on our next trip to Jasper though because the restaurant atmosphere and ambiance didn't work for me. The waitresses chatted to each other behind the bar and looked at us quite a while as we were standing at the front door waiting to be seated, I wasn't sure if they thought we had just walked into the wrong place and they were waiting for us to leave lol.

Brian Mackinnon

Great place for a excellent bite to eat. Friendly staff, clean restaurant all around. Food is amazing!! This is the meatloaf and the salmon dish's. Amazing! Thanks for getting our family seated on short notice!

Wayne Duval

Great newish little place just on the edge of Jasper. The wine selection is surprisingly ample and well thought out. Some daring choices on this list add to the excitement. Food is certainly eclectic and well placed. Need to come back!

T Braat

It's not that the food is bad, it just over priced, knock it down 10%. Other places in Jasper that you can get good food. There is a lot worse tho, as an actual 5star restaurant would clean up in Jasper.

Ashley Boudreau

Amazing food, great atmosphere and good variety on the menus. The staff were pleasant and helpful. There is views of the surrounding mountains from the tables. I would recommend this place as a must during your stay in Jasper.

Kevin W

Terrible food at fine dining costs. The steak special was bland, inedible and accompanied by a sad parade of from-frozen vegetables. Salmon and rice similarly was a leathery bust, like a slightly bigger kids meal available at an office food court. I don’t cook often, but I’m really confident I could teach a kid to prepare better versions of those two meals. I am in no way exaggerating this assessment. Server was indifferent and unhelpful. Way overpriced menu, including drinks, nothing to recommend this place.

Len Cardinal

Our server Jen was absolutely fantastic! She gave impeccable service with genuine interactions. Even provided us with a dessert for our anniversary. Food is a touch pricey. But we brought in a bottle of wine and paid the corkage fee which very reasonable. All of the food was beyond words. Tried three appetizers and one entree (all vegetarian). What stood our forel me was the included parimgs for wine within the menu. Highly recommended if you are in the Jasper area and dontind spending around 25$ and entree. A plus is I love jazz and they play the funkyiest music all night. Not intruding, just mellow and smooth

Donald Deschamps

My fiancé loves this place so he brought me here on a date night while we were there visiting. Very good food! Unique menu. Check out the meatloaf you won’t be disappointed. The artwork was also really unique and interesting.

Matt

We called at 242 pm and spoke to a male with an accent who told us they had a busy night ahead, but could get us in before 5:15 or after 8:15. We chose the after 8:15 spot and gave a name and phone number for 8:30pm. We got there at 8:29, we waited for a bit at the door to be greeted only to be asked if it was a reservation for 2. We said we had a reservation for 4 under my friends name, the guy went and looked, came back with an iPad saying he had nothing and no tables. He didn't even try to figure something out just said he didn't have us. Not very accommodating.

Priya Liz

Delicious food, great atmosphere, great service.

Canadian Venezuelan

Great food, service and location. Reasonabley priced for good quality food.

Daniel & Bryn Rowe

El Diablo chicken and the Typhoon noodles were very good. The pic is for the Brie fried cheese very nice! Prices are reasonable and service friendly and quick.

Ariane Lessard-dostie

Amazing menu!! Everything was fresh and delicious, nice and clean place. Great and fun service, a very good choice to go to.

Susana Delait

Awesome place!! Very good menu, food was great and service too! Highly recommended!!

Ashley Hemmings

Delicious meal and such fantastic service from Sarah! Sarah took such good care of us & was so incredibly sweet! We had the catch of the day and the curry and all was delicious

Elizabeth W

Yummy dinner after driving up from Lake Louise. Portions were good and flavors were lovely. I definitely recommend reservations - we were seated immediately, but those without did have to wait.

Nellia Ford

Great service and awesome wait staff; very attentive. The patio is a great asset to the restaurant. Slightly smaller portions than usual but I still ended up full!

joanne Zhou

Great food, great atmosphere and super friendly service! You should check it out if you visit Jasper and needed a bite.

Nicci Gibbons

Excellent food and friendly service, very accommodating for kids and a lovely new location. Will definitely be back to try more!

Neil C.

Great service, warm and friendly. Food was very good. Only negative comment was the decor was rather sterile. Although very new, they need to add some ambiance. Softer lighting and accessories would certainly help to "warm" it up.

Audrey Dow

Wonderful meals tonight. Food was as advertised - no frouffy, misleading descriptions. Well prepared, very tasty and generous portions. Highly recommend it.

Betty Dubord

Great service, even better food. Prices were a bit high, but it was worth it. Portion size was good.

Jack Isop

Excellent food and service!

Ryan Pan

Kendall Cutul

Love this place probably one if the best places in jasper to eat, always make it my #1 choice to dine in. The staff is awesome and the food comes out fairly quick.

Shawn Scherer

Had the pleasure of eating here after a long snowy day driving from Edmonton. Service was excellent and very friendly. I had their signature meatloaf dish and was pleasantly surprised. While a tad pricey, it was quite tasty. One other reviewer I read didn't feel it was worth the price... i can't argue the point but your taste buds wont be disappointed. My wife had the salmon and loved it. My 7 y old had the chicken fingers (what else is new) and liked them. It is a small open space and lacks a little for romantic ambiance but it is charming and worth the visit. We will come back

Matt Brown

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. If going on the weekend call ahead for a table. Will definitely be back!!!

Kyla Angeles

Nice atmosphere. Appetizers were amazing. Steak price was misquoted, and steak had a lot of fat on it. 1/3 of steaks were fat. Get anything other than steak. Server seemed to be the only one, he did well considering they had a full restaurant the entire evening.

Kevin Blakeman

Fantastic food! Amazing flavour! The cowboy sushi was the star of the meal. Drink are unique and delicious. Can't wait to come back!

d krieser

Really great food with that rarest of things in North America, portions that don't make you feel ill. I'll definetly be back the next time I'm in town.

Amazing service, amazing food. An all around great experience at Evil Dave's

Rick Bakke

We had our Boxing Day meal here. It was a great experience. The food the service all very good, and the place was busy. One of the best restaurants in town in my opinion.

Dave Mathieson

Very nice atmosphere with spectacular views to go with very tasty food. Service was extra friendly. We will be back next time we are in Jasper. Highly recommended!

Kim Hartley

Had just opened for the day but a bit slow service, food was very good but a bit fancy for what we had expected.

Bart Cheng

Had a great dinner and ordered a chef’s cut prime rib steak recommended by our server. Steak was tender and unforgettably delicious. Drinks are a bit on the pricey side but the main courses are very reasonable for theirs value. Got a good vibe and nice environment. Definitely recommend and will return.

Jordan East

Loved the food and service

JunSu Ku

Tried the Chefs Cut it was very delicious. Alberta beef was very tasty and the sauce was a very good fit. They seemed a little understaffed but they were still managing all the tables very well!
