Sandtraps

Enjoyed the Tuesday steak, arrived cooked to perfection. Rick provided great service, and showed us the best table in the house to enjoy the sunset.

This place is the real deal. By far the best fish and chips in town and the rest of the menu matches that same quality tenfold. Staff was knowledgeable and welcoming, with our server Courtney giving great recommendations as well as making us feel very taken care of. Furthermore the atmosphere makes you feel right at home, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Can’t recommend it more.

Tasty food and a beautiful patio in the summer! This is a great place to have a meal post-golf or any other time you are in the Canmore area. Their patio overlooks the gold course and water and wasn't too busy when we were there. We enjoyed our meal immensely and service was friendly. Pictured are the cheddar burger, spicy burger, and steak sandwich.

The 4 of us had a very nice breakfast here. Great patio and views. Public is welcome, this maybe on of Canmores best kept secrets for breakfast. I'm thinking lunch and dinner are decent here also.

Most likely, many of the issues we experienced was due to the fact we arrived the hour before they closed. We understood our position as “those kinds of customers”, but we had a great first impression thanks to the homey atmosphere of the restaurant and the kindness of the server. She was even honest about the tomato soup not being as good as it should be. However, after ordering the experience went south. Our server would serve other tables without looking at us even though we were trying to get her attention to order quickly 30 minutes before closing. We waited for about 5 minutes to order, but then we were told 5 minutes later that a special two of my friends were sharing wasn’t available. However, the server unfortunately assumed that my two friends would still share their new order, and we were upset for our friend because the server either ignored her or was tunnel visioning on closing duties. The food arrived around 5 minutes after they closed, and we asked for the bill and to pay to help speed the process of us leaving. However, before one of my friends could pay, the server disappeared and probably left, so we had to ask someone else to let my friend pay. That was the service experience, but some of the food items my friends ordered were good such as the tortellini. However, my french onion soup (pictured) just wasn’t to my liking and my friend’s chicken burger was dry sadly. I don’t think I’ll come back during another visit to Canmore, but if I do, I hope I’ll be proven that coming in during the last hour was the cause behind our experience.
