Vagabond Calgary - Calgary, Alberta

Large group caveat but the experience wasn't great. Service and food weren't terrible; they were either average or just below average. Yes we were a large group, but we were almost there only people in the restaurant for lunch so this really shouldn't be an excuse. Also, I should know by ... now that an empty restaurant during a lunch rush is a warning sign. I had a beef dip and it was so incredibly greasy that is was truly hard to eat. I would literally squeeze it and grease would pour out. It hindered what could have been a decent sandwich. Of course, like most restaurants in this segment there was no shortage of salt. I long for the day when they teach cooks to taste their food before they send it out. I might try it again if I'm in the area (maybe it was a bad day) but I'm certainly not going to go out of my way.

Went here after the Flames game expecting to grab a bite to eat. Ordered the Chicken fingers thinking that they were, well, chicken fingers. They were not. They were 4 chicken nuggets with some fries. Asked to talk to the manager and was told this is a very common complaint. I ... don't understand why they still have them on their menu. Only gave 2 stars because I had zero issue with the service from the bartender, it was only the kitchen and their misleading menu that was BS. Read more

Went to Vagabond prior to the Flames game. I got there early, which was good, because the place filled up quickly. It is walking distance to Saddledome and has a big selection of drinks. I ordered the chicken strips and fries with a beer and it was ... perfect prior to the game- go Flames! If you are looking for a quick place prior to a game or want to watch the game at a bar, look no further. Read more

Excellent service and food. We went for a group dinner and they had an American Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner Special on for the evening complete with mashed potatoes, stuffing, roasted veggies and cranberry sauce. Pumpkin pie to round of the meal was great as well. It was absolutely delicious. Did not ... order anything off the regular menu, so no feedback on that. The owner was very friendly. Read more

Will never come into this place again! Horrible is the best I can give them as a rating. Pizza undercooked and the mix of cheeses did not do it for me at all plus the French fries where so salty I felt my high blood pressure kick in! Stay away ... for your own good. Read more
