   Service was not friendly or fast for how dead it was. We asked about specials and they said they had none. We inquired further as the website said they had buck a shuck on oysters and 10 dollar cocktails . The waitress said that they were under new management and they no longer have these specials. Despite the website still advertising them. They did honour the buck a shuck oysters but didn’t extend that to the cocktails. The oysters were not shucked properly and had multiple shell pieces in the oysters. The deviled eggs were just boiled eggs with maybe mayo on top of liquid yolk. The bone marrow steak tartare was served on a hallowed out bone sans bone marrow. Brussel sprouts were dope though. When clearing the table the server spilled a little water from the oysters on our friends cross body bag and then after acknowledging it, continued with clearing the table and spilt a bunch more of the water all over our friends leg. She did apologize again but should’ve just cleared that in the first place before continuing to clear the rest of the table. We booked this reservation for our friend’s birthday because it was advertised with the specials but also live music on Thursday night which there was no live music. On the reservation we did also put that we are coming for a birthday. Overall it was a very poor experience, if the place is under new management it’s important to at least update the website. And when booking the reservation on OpenTable it was still advertised as Live Thursday with all the specials mentioned above. Very disappointed we picked Birdog to celebrate our friends birthday but I guess the yolks on us.

   Had high expectations for this restaurant but they fell short. Felt the 17$ appetizer of roasted cauliflower was not worth the value. Chicken entree was good however they were out of a specific dessert and then had no ice cream for another dessert. Service was minimal and slow. Was hoping for a better experience.

   Birdog has been on our radar for some time. We went to the venue before seeing a concert at Roger's. The food and drinks were great with the food being priced quite well. Drink prices were pretty standard. The service overall was good.

   The food was great, the service was amazing, but I learned not to go to the restaurant on a oilers night unless you want to watch the oilers game, a little too loud for my taste

   Always a fantastic experience when we go to Birdog. The food is great and the staff is awesome. The drinks are amazing too. El Chapo is a favorite for sure! Staff are always friendly and attentive. We usually do shareable’s and there is more than enough food every time. Birdog is on our list of favorites!

    Couple drinks and a meal before an Oilers game. Service was quick, food and drinks were great... No complaints here.
