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.

        Very inattentive wait staff. I personally had to take dirty plates up to the bar and politely ask for them to take them away. Also, waiter introduced himself almost 30 minutes into the brunch. I didn't even know we had a waiter as we were self serving ourselves throughout. Rarely ever checked up on us even after walking past us several times. I'm appalled to say the least.

        Dear David, Please accept my sincere apologies for the delays you have experienced today. We are looking forward to welcoming you back on a different occasion. Yours Sincerely, Jean-Michel

        Worst service ever I ordered a salad that never came. The waiter would take forever to show up.

        We had to sit in the bar even though I reserved a table specifically at Smugglers because the reservation was for regular seating. The waiter was terrible, He seemed like he didn't want to be there which made us feel like we didn't want to be there either. The food was good and a decent value. The bar was not as noisy as some places so it wasn't a total loss.

        I was disappointed about the limited menu choice, as it was a Valentines menu for the whole weekend. Then the service was slow and did not come and ask how our meal was, She did make sure the other tables were good. Then it was cool in the area we sat, I had my coat on the whole time, as well a couple of other tables did as well. I was looking forward to going to Smuggler's, my last memories of going there were very good. I do not believe I would go again.

        We requested a booth and got one facing directly into one else’s table (very awkward). It was freezing and had cold air blowing over us. It took an hour for our food and had a difficult time getting our waitress to come to our table. Overall.. Food was good but everything else needs improvement.
