About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for brunch
  • Good for groups
Originally established in 1974, Smuggler's Inn has been serving Alberta prime rib to several generations. Always a popular place for Calgarians to gather and celebrate, we are the preferred dining choice for birthdays, anniversaries, milestones or just meeting friends and family. Our prime rib is the main feature of our diverse menu, available all day, every day any way you like it. From a 9oz. prime rib, all the way up to a 18oz cut, our succulent prime rib is sure to please any appetite. Of course there is a creative selection of steaks, chicken and seafood to satisfy everyone. It would be a great idea if you saved room for one of our delicious desserts...even if you plan on sharing.

    The food and service over all was good. The only hiccup was that somehow our order didn't go through to the kitchen.... We waited a long time for our dinner. We arrived before the rush but by the time it was noticed the error. It was really busy. People who arrived far after us had meals before we did. The server was very apologetic and brought us a free appetizer. Food was good when we got it!

    The beef dip and chicken pot pie are amazing! The meat they used for the beef dip just melted in my mouth. The chicken pot pie is very flavorful and the crust is the best I've ever had. We will definitely be back soon.

    We were warmly welcomed and seated very comfortably in a booth. Glad that the furniture remains from the ‘old days’, this is where my husband took me on our first date over 40 years ago. Our steaks were perfectly done and appreciate the option to choose a sauce to accompany it. We were celebrating my coming of age senior birthday and although our ability to eat large amounts has waned, we did manage to finish off the lovely piece of birthday cake they presented. It was delicious! Our server was Lenore, extremely polite and doted on us just enough. Thank you Smugglers!

    Service was un-attentive. Prime Rib was dry and overcooked, as though it was reheated. Yorkshire was dry, hard and tasteless. And this is their staple menu, and can’t get that right.

    Love the new look of Smugglers, though found it very cold inside, we had to keep our coats on. I had the chicken pot pie but found it to be too salty. My friend had the chef's salad which she found to be good.
