Grate and Barrel - Calgary, Alberta

It's a neat location. Very SMALL but not unusual for that location. But on a colder day you could end up out in the cold waiting on food. We were there shortly after noon on a Wednesday afternoon and my husband got the last of one of their menu ... items so there might be some kinks to work out in terms of inventory. But being fair to them they've only had this location open for a very short period of time. We ordered Tater Tots for $4 and we saw them put in a handful of tots that were Superstore brand which you could buy a full bag for about $3. So my suggestion if you're going to be making the food right in front of people maybe don't advertise you're using no name brand. I had the Beef Grilled Cheese and I would say it's more meat than cheese so more like a melt. Overall it was pretty good but I probably wouldn't wait half an hour again for a $9 grilled cheese. It was a fun little outing for a Wednesday lunch but by the time we got the food I had to eat it at my desk. Read more

Yesterday, Dec 30/17, I bought a bottle of their homemade Ketchup. It is Thick and Flavourful and one of the best I've ever had. As a Chef, it's nice to see a small business that produces such Amazing and Good Food!! Stop by and enjoy both the food and the ... friendly staff!! You won't regret it and you'll be back, again and again!! Read more

The pulled beef grilled cheese was amazing!! And when I didn't see any chocolate milkshakes on the menu they were nice enough to custom make one for me. The only down side is that it's cash only and sandwiches are not big enough :) also the hours of operation suck.

Delicious and fun take on the classic grilled cheese. Cosy atmosphere and friendly staff.

Grilled cheese and pie shakes. Didn't know pie shake really is made by blending up dessert pies and ice cream. Super thick, barely able to sip through a large size straw. Don't think I like having large chunks of pie crust in my shakes but the flavour was okay.
