THE HEART OF B&G

East coast hospitality

At Blowers & Grafton, East Coast Hospitality is more than just a phrase - it's our foundation. We create a laid-back, welcoming environment where laughter and good times flourish. With genuine connections, exceptional food, and authentic Canadian cuisine, we've become a favourite family restaurant for memorable dining experiences.

authentically sourced

We bring the heart of the Maritimes to Alberta with specially sourced ingredients, sauces and beverages cherished by East Coasters and visitors alike. From the freshest seafood and authentic Halifax Donair meat to craft brews and other beloved staples of the East Coast, every bite and sip is a true taste of home.

Halifax Street Food

At Blowers & Grafton, we're passionate about bringing the rich culinary culture of the East Coast, including Canada’s most beloved grab-and-go eats, to the West Coast. Straight from Halifax, we deliver authentic flavours and classic dishes, from The Original Halifax Donair and Garlic Fingers to Mini Lobster Rolls and Fish & Chips, all perfectly paired with craft beer!

Daily Specials to "Fill Yer Boots"

Looking for casual dining near me? Our daily food and drink specials make every visit worth coming back for, whether you’re catching up with friends or enjoying a relaxed meal.

Light, Mysterious & Delicious – Crafted on the East Coast

Introducing The Beast from the East, a clean, crisp, kick ‘er back, take’er easy refreshing craft ale brewed in the Halifax Seaport. It’s truly East Coast!

We put a whole lotta of time & heart into cooking up the big, authentic tastes of the East, bringing those flavours all the way back to our Blowers & Grafton locations in Calgary and Edmonton. We decided we needed something to wash all that good food down, and that something was naturally, beer! Instead of recreating the tastes of home in Alberta, we crafted something right on the Halifax Waterfront.

BEAST FROM THE EAST IS EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE FOR TAKEOUT & DELIVERY ONLY!

The captivating story of Blowers & Grafton begins with a charming little Donair and Pizza shop nestled within the vibrant hub of the Halifax waterfront. Here, Blowers & Grafton Co-Founder Josh Robinson combined his passion for food and knack for business to sell mouthwatering Halifax street food to locals and tourists alike.

In 2013 Josh closed his waterfront shop and like many East Coasters, ventured West. After settling in Calgary, he began working in the oil and gas industry where he met CEO & Co-Founder, Samim Aminzadah. Working alongside each other, Josh and Samim soon discovered a shared passion for great food and hospitality. Josh frequently talked passionately about the East Coast, the unique culture of the Maritimes, and the incredible foods he missed so much.

We attended the Shawnessy location for our first ever visit to to Blowers & Grafton. We tried several cocktails: razzle dazzle, old fashioned and the spicy passion fruit margarita. All were great and came to the table quickly. The food was good, no complaints. The decor was beautiful and ambience was nice, not too loud.

Our server Beth however is the reason why we will not return to B&G. From the start it felt as though she judged us from the way we looked. She was cold and unfriendly. After multiple returns to the table to collect our food order (to which we were obviously still looking at the menu and at one point when she asked to take our food order only 1 person was at the table) she stated that it was ok, the kitchen was backed up anyhow. So when we did place our order, out of politeness, we stated there was no rush on the food. Beth’s reply “that’s literally not in my job description“. She didn’t quality check after we received our main course and immediately after clearing our plates, she brought the bill to the table with the debit machine, even though we still had full drinks in front of us. I had planned on ordering another but we were clearly unwelcome and she wanted to flip the table for another seating. Being from the East Coast myself, I was anticipating a more friendly and welcoming atmosphere. And although the food, drinks and pricing were excellent, it’s not worth the risk of having her serve us again and ruining our scarce night out without children.
Food was great! Had the mussels and fish tacos! Cora was a fantastic server. Definitely ask for her!! Will be back!!

A group of old friends got together over the weekend to attend the Spruce Meadows events. We chose Blowers and Grafton as it was three minutes from our airbnb. Definitely did not disappoint. Drinks came out almost immediately, followed by our delicious dinner and we even found room for dessert. Everything was great, but the true shining light of the evening was, by far, our server Cayla with a C. 🙂 Best service I have EVER experienced.
Kudos to you Cayla, you are wonderful, and you deserve a raise. If ever in the area again, we will be back!
Waitress was really nice food was really good what more should I say?

Extremely sad cheese steak. Flavorless and soggy. Fries were good. Waitress knew we were unhappy but didn’t check in at the onset so we ate about half because we were very hungry. And the food had taken quite a while. Do not recommend

The atmosphere was nice, but it was a lot quieter than I was expecting for a mid week dinner meal.
I ordered the donair meal, and although the flavor was a fantastic 5/5, i was genuinely surprised at how small of a serving It was. But you can go to jerusalem schwarma, where any donair house and find the same meal at half the price, but double the size.
Waitress was not busy at all, but only came by once in my meal to see how I was doing. My beer was empty before they came back, so I never bothered to get a refill. Would I have? Yeah, more than likely - because customer service is what drives sales.

The food was just fair and, in my opinion, not really worth the price. I also asked for a small amount of hot sauce and was surprised to be charged an extra CAD $1 for it. The biggest issue was the service. The food took quite a long time to arrive, with more than 20 minutes between items being brought to the table. The restaurant was not busy at the time of our visit, so I was quite surprised by the wait, as I went only after 7 PM that too on a Sunday.

Overall, the experience was mediocre given the prices and the level of service.

Had a quick bite with some buddies of mine the other day, this place is a pub food style, although since we all of us have a mission on our belt that day, we are there for the food, non alcoholic drinks and 0% beer all night

We chose the patio, since all of us know Calgary weather only have 3 months or so time that you can enjoy the sun and fresh air outside,

Anyhow, food is pub food style, it's pretty standard, although one little hiccup is all the food that we ordered never rang into the kitchen - Twice, which is really weird, must be our lucky day

Although the service team did give us a staff discount that vary evening to compensate, the hiccup - it's a nice touch

We only ordered the Chips & Dip, Mini pizza and the lobster dip + pepperoni chips to share,

it's a pub that you can have a relaxing time with friend as such,
Food quality and portion sizes have significantly decreased since the last time we came here 6 weeks ago. Food delivered, no utensils. Asked for chicken on my salad, it came later on a plate. Nice servers but they can’t make up for the kitchen staff and management. Do better. 40$ for 1 person, no alcohol, and 2 appetizers-Salad and pepperoni.

Our long time friend took us for an Apres Stampede Parade lunch at this lovely restaurant & we are very happy that he did. Brooke greeted us with a beautiful smile upon entering & is now our favorite waitress. We ordered drinks to start. A bottle of Stemmari Pinot Grigio Sicilia Doc (Sustainably Farmed) for her & some drafts for us: Stella, Stanley Park Sun Setter & a local house Grafton St. All very good choices. We shared the Signature Nachos, made with home cut potatoes & an order of Salt & Pepper Wings. Both very good. To finish we shared a delicious Cheese Cake, which my wife considers the best ever & some tiny donuts. A complementary & very tasty Lobster Roll from GM Robin & owner Tam completed our visit. Totally impressed with the menu, service & decor. We'll definitely return should the opportunity present itself.

Any one who knows how impossible it is to make a steak like that knows it's almost impossible. This steak was perfect. They make the food the way u want it. Heidi was our waitress and she was great. We're definitely gonna come back here. Again!!!!😋😁

Staff were great and always checking up on us pretty fast in and out.

Wings: 8.5
Sauce: 7.5
Price: 7

The wings here are pretty solid the wings themselves are fairly big and the texture of them are solid. Honestly if you want a just solid wing that you can consistently eat then these would be it. It’s a shame that there isn’t more flavours as the flavours available are alright but nothing crazy. Would 100% recommend to get the wings on a wing night only half off but well worth getting 2 orders.

The food was okay. I tried the donair rolls- nothing overly special. They were kind of spicy. I did like the sauce.
Tried the lobster rolls too. Lots of bread and carbs. A bit pricey for what you get.
We wanted to sit on the patio since it was warm and sunny and they wouldn’t open it.

UPDATED: we came back for another meal and it was fantastic. We highly recommend the scallops and prawn spaghetti, and the surf and turf, both were very flavourful and worth the price. We also got to participate in the second half of trivia night, which made it fun for table activities. Totally redeemed and glad we came back. 😁. Thank you.

We had a wonderful experience at Blowers & Grafton! The food was absolutely delicious. The fish and chips were perfectly cooked—light, crispy, and flavorful, with just the right crunch. The clam chowder was another standout, packed with plenty of seafood and made with high-quality ingredients. You can really taste the freshness.
Overall, the menu offers a great variety of satisfying dishes, and everything we tried was enjoyable. It's clear that care goes into both the preparation and quality of the food.
A special thank you to our server, Melissa, who made our visit even better. She was friendly, attentive, and prompt throughout the meal, ensuring we had everything we needed with a genuine smile.
Great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere—we'll definitely be back!

We ordered the Almost Famous Donair Nachos expecting a hearty plate, but it was a letdown. The house-cut potato chips were extremely overcooked. While they had a nice crunch, they were so burnt that they tasted bitter. I also couldn't find any donair meat, even though it's advertised as one of the main toppings.
The donair sauce was much sweeter than I expected and ended up overpowering the entire dish. We thought about bringing it up during our visit, but my friend wasn't comfortable asking for it to be remade.
I'm sharing this in the hope that it helps. Paying closer attention to the chip cook time, making sure the donair meat is actually included, and balancing the sweetness of the sauce would make a big difference. I genuinely hope the restaurant takes this feedback as an opportunity to improve.

I stopped into Blowers in Grafton for lunch with two girlfriends, and we had such a great time. We were looking for a relaxed spot to catch up, and it ended up being the perfect choice.

I ordered the Ultimate Caesar, which was absolutely delicious and definitely a standout. The food came out quickly, everything was fresh, and everyone at the table enjoyed their meals.

A special shoutout to Shawnice for her wonderful service. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. She checked in at all the right times and helped make our lunch feel easy and enjoyable.

Between the great food, the amazing Caesar, and Shawnice’s excellent service, we’ll definitely be back!
Nice to see this location. Phoned in for a Pictou County Pizza wait time 15 mins which is quite amazing. Love a good brothers pepper piZza with Pictou County sauce ... Mmmm.
Dropped into get my pizza and paid for and checked to make sure it was right to find out they accidentally made the wrong pizza. Told me no worries they will make a new one. I was okay sounds good 20 mins for the new one no big deal. Came back to get the new "Pictou County Pizza"
Well the pizza tasted ok but most definitely was lacking cheese... Was a little disappointed to be honest.
Especially when the menu states plenty of mozzarella? You be the judge I'll post the photo of the actual Pizza.
Likely wouldn't recommend it for 29.95 unless it had more cheese.
I'll also post an Actual pizza from Pictou County.

Really enjoyed this place overall.
The food was well prepared and satisfying, especially the Hali cheesesteak and the fish & chips, both done properly with good texture and flavor. The Halifax donair poutine stood out; it was a little on the sweet side, but still very enjoyable.
The Aperol Spritz was well balanced and a nice addition to the meal.
The service was also really good. Our server was kind, attentive, and helpful throughout.
The atmosphere really carries that Halifax vibe, which I appreciated. It adds character and makes the experience feel a bit different from typical spots in Calgary.

Went around 6pm for supper and drinks with a friend, required a standard table for their service animal and the hostess was incredibly accommodating, even with the restaurant being packed! Our waitress was lovely and attentive, keeping our drinks flowing through the evening. The food was fantastic - we shared the hummus and tzatziki bowl (flavor out of this world), my friend enjoyed the donair egg rolls, and I loved the buttery lobster rolls with fries. I have no complaints other than the very crowded dining area, it felt like I was sitting on top of the oyster bar and I watched a few people hesitate and change course when trying to walk by/through. Twice my friend felt I was going to be bumped by a server picking up things from the oyster bar! It wasn't enough to truly bother me or prevent me coming back, just something to consider for my next visit.

This was my first time visiting Blowers & Grafton in Windermere and it definitely won’t be my last! The service was excellent from start to finish—friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better.

We ordered the Fisherman’s Feast and the Atlantic Seafood Chowder, and both were absolutely delicious. The chowder was rich, creamy, and packed with seafood, and the Fisherman’s Feast had a great variety of perfectly cooked seafood that was full of flavor.

I also tried the Fried Pickled Caesar drink, which was fantastic and a really fun twist on the classic Caesar.

Overall, it was a great first experience with tasty food, great drinks, and excellent service. I highly recommend checking it out!

Our family decided to give this place a try and unfortunately the food was not what we thought it would be - we all rated the dishes 3/5.
The Seafood Chowder was expensive, we added the extra fee for $9 and as you can see not much seafood, if it didn’t have the X it would have nothing in it and did need some seasoning.
Fish & Chips - the fish was not fresh I would be certain it was boxed because it sure tasted like it and very uniformed, the chips were the best part of the meal. I have had fresh fish and chips at so many other places and this was not good.
Fish Tacos - just okay and fairly small if you’re hungry.
The best part of our experience here was our friendly waitress Auburn, she was on the ball and friendly!!

First time I been to a Blowers and Grafton was a tiny one just off 16 ave and it was great, when I seen it opened up here in Shawnessy I was overjoyed! I’ve tried a good number of things off their menu, and can honestly say it’s probably one of the, if not thee best place in the area for food and drinks.

It’s a very classy joint considering it use to be a blockbuster video back in the day! Service is great, food takes a little longer than other places but definitely worth the wait. The fish and chips are amazing, fluffy and crispy , not dripping with grease and perfectly seasoned, and tangy refreshing coleslaw to pair with it, the fries are perfectly crisped with a nice dark gravy to go with them. The donair egg rolls are divine, crispy outside stuffed with seasoned donair meat and a perfect sweet sauce to dip them!
I have Never had a bad experience in the half dozen times I’ve come here. If your a fish and chips lover and a fan of great food in general, 10/10 recommend.

Great atmosphere and live music. Too bad that our waitress had to leave at 7 or 8pm. We paid her and gave her a big tip. She told us that someone else would cover our table, but no one stopped by so we had to go to the bar to order drinks. This could be a great place but we certainly didn't see that from the people working there. We had 4 people for dinner and spent a lot that night.

I visited this place for the Super Bowl party, and it was a fun and lively experience. The venue was packed with people, creating a vibrant atmosphere. The ticket price was reasonable at $20, and it included an order of chicken wings and beer. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The food order was quick, and the chicken wings were particularly delicious. The pizza, however, was average. Overall, I would highly recommend this place for a fun and enjoyable Super Bowl party.

Went here with family and friends and had a great time. The fish and chips and steaks were great. The steaks were a bit nicer done. The waitress said there was an up charge for salad instead of fries. Although she never said that salad already came with the steak. So I had salad with a side of different salad, beet and feta cheese salad. Either way all the food tasted great, we will go again as they had many seafood items in the menu.

Went here on a Friday night, it wasn’t packed but had a fair amount of customers.
The service was good she came back and checked on us and kept us top on water and drinks.
The food was pretty good I’m originally from the east coast so it’s hard for mainland Calgary restaurants to capture the authentic taste of Atlantic province seafood but I think they did a good job with all factors considered.

We had the lobster and artichoke dip which was pretty good, like every lobster dish it could’ve done with just a tad bit more lobster

Then we had two different pizzas
Fish tacos and fries
Lobster rolls with upgraded poutine
And the Irish cheesecake

The pizzas were pretty good I had no complaints with it
Tacos were also solid
The fries were good but you 100% need a sauce or something for them but that’s just me
The lobster rolls were also good but again it could’ve done with more lobster on each of the rolls in my opinion for the price they were charging at the time, but that’s legit every lobster dish you buy at a restaurant so I can’t fault them that much for it. Poutine was solid as well with a good amount of cheese and gravy and big fries I liked it

The cheesecake was also good nice mixture of cheesecake and salty toppings, the only thing I would change is to make the base a bit more crunchy but that’s personal preference it was still good nonetheless

All and all I had a pretty good time here food was better than most pubs and the vibes are chill there with good service I would recommend checking this place out if you’re along that strip
The atmosphere is excellent, especially when there’s a game on. I have to say the mini lobster rolls were tasty, but I didn’t love that there was lobster only right outside the bun, and inside there was just salad. The chips were a bit too dark, like over-fried, and they didn’t have any salt… The pizza, on the other hand, was really, really good… I loved it. The cocktails were also delicious.

We were visiting from Calgary and decided to try this place out even though we have one 10 min from our house and we’re SO glad we did! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was lively and welcoming. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made us feel right at home.

Now let’s talk about the food we ordered, it all was absolutely incredible! We started with the nachos, and they were easily some of the best we’ve had. Fully loaded with toppings, perfectly crisp chips, and just the right amount of gooey cheese in every bite. Next up was the lobster mac and cheese … honestly, WOW. Creamy, cheesy, and packed with chunks of lobster. It was rich, flavorful, and totally addictive. It was the standout dish of the night!

We also had one of their burgers, which was super juicy and generously portioned. It was a serious meal all on its own. Everything we ordered came out hot, fresh.

This place totally exceeded our expectations. Great food, fun East Coast vibe, and awesome service we’ll definitely be making this a regular stop but the Calgary location. I Highly recommend!

Service was great - i gave a 4 b/c the servers pefume was strong and the smell lingered at our table.
The chips are a better option instead of fries. The smashburger was good but it needed something more like a tomato or lettuce.
The shrimp po boy was also good - it had lettuce & tomatoes for that little extra!

Had a few days in Edmonton for work and being from Halifax I had to try B&G. Food was great and very authentic to classic Halifax cuisine. Only comment would be that sitting at the bar the bartenders did not attempt to strike up basic conversation and there was a lack of personality from the bartender unless they knew the "locals". Could utilize a male and female bar duo.
We are visiting from out of town and were intrigued by the establishment as we drove by. A quick U-turn at the next light and parked to come in. We loved the look of the place, and good music playing. We were seated by a sweet hostest whom we later met to actually be our waitress Jade. She had great energy. While she let us decide on our drink order, we enjoyed listening to her engage with other dinners. Her bubbly personality and enthusiasm was such a wonderful experience. We simply don't see enough of this anymore. She was knowledgeable about the menu and made great suggestions. After our delicious meal, I tasked her to get me the dessert she thought I should have. When she came back sad faced that it wasn't available, I told her she could have totally said the alternate (yummy blueberry donuts holes) were what I should have as they were delish! Thank you Jade. Having you as our server made the experience 100% better. Keep sharing that energy and spark. You make life a little brighter for everyone around you. From the greeting to the thanks for dinning with us goodbye, Thank you Jade for such a wonderful dinning experience. Merry Christmas!

I had the pleasure of being served by Kaylee during my recent visit, and she was absolutely amazing! From the moment we were seated, Kaylee’s warm and welcoming attitude made us feel right at home. She took the time to explain the menu in detail, offering excellent recommendations based on our preferences, and her knowledge of the dishes was impressive.

What really stood out was her attentiveness. She checked in at just the right moments, ensuring that we had everything we needed without being overbearing. Kaylee’s friendly and genuine nature made the dining experience truly enjoyable, and her upbeat personality added an extra touch of charm to our meal. She was also incredibly efficient—our food arrived promptly, and she made sure everything was to our satisfaction.

I could tell that Kaylee truly cares about her guests, and her exceptional service made our experience unforgettable. I will definitely be requesting her again on my next visit!
Had a fantastic experience here on a Saturday. The atmosphere was great, with plenty of TVs to catch the game, and Bethany, my waitress, was outstanding. Keep up the great work! It’s rare these days to find such a relaxed and welcoming pub.

Today I had the philly cheese steak but previously ice had the lobster roll and the o.g. donair. The sandwhich came I'm a white roll brushed with garlic bitter which I'm a fan of. Steak, cheese, pepper's were pretty good as well. Fries were standard. Food is definitely on the higher end of pub food! Unique proposition with the east coast influence.

Stopped in for a late dinner with my wife. We have been to the location in Lethbridge but first time here. We tried the lobster roll, seafood chowder and donair egg rolls. All the food was good. The lobster rolls were delicious, well seasoned with lots of lobster meat. Staff were super friendly and attentive. We came an hour before close so the place was pretty quiet, which is all good by me. Great place for some Halifax inspired seafood, donairs and much more. Thanks so much for dinner!
Service was good and Food was excellent.

This was our first visit to B&G and we loved it. We went early enough to enjoy happy hour so that was a bonus but the food was all delicious. We started with a dozen oysters which were fresh and very good. My only complaint and why I didn’t give 5 stars was the condiment selection. You get only 2 accompaniments with the oysters, hot sauce and a mignonette and you only get about a TBS of each for the entire dozen. We are used to having horseradish as a choice and also not having to ration out the sauces. If you are trying to control costs, cutting back on the items that cost only pennies is not going to get you very far. But back to the food, Lobster Artichoke Dip was excellent, clams & chips, cheeseburger poutine, fish & chips and scallops & chips were all very, very good. We all agreed we would come back again.

Updated: we went in anyway kinda blind because of the website issue that's being worked on. What a delight!! Kayley was our server and was terrific. We ordered the lobster dip, cheesesteak and fried pepperoni and everything was phenomenal! It's very nice inside, bathrooms were super clean, music wasn't too loud. It was a really great experience. Highly recommend.

Hey yo did you know your website isn't working??

Came here with a large party and the way it was handled was incredible. Our meals all came out perfect and all at the same time. For a group of 30, I’m very impressed! Food was amazing and service was even better. Madison took very good care of us and I highly recommend being served by her.

Wow! The bartender Aidan gave not only us but everyone else in the building the best service I’ve seen and experienced in my life! Not only was the service by him top tier but also the service from the other servers and hosts! The food was amazing I would absolutely 100% recommend the grilled wrap with cajun chicken it was to die for genuinely. The layout was very beautiful and the music was great! Definitely definitely definitely go here and look for the bartender with the buzz cut!

We sat in the outside dining by the fire place & the atmosphere was perfect for some drinks. Everything we tried on the menu was recommended to us by our waitress! I forgot her name but she was awesome.
We tried the fried pepperoni, mussels, lobster artichoke dip & the cheesecake for desert. Everything was delicious! We even had to order more of the lobster dip! It’s a must try!

Four of us had supper on a Thursday, arriving just before 5 pm. There is lots of parking. There weren't too many patrons, but the place filled up after 5:30. It's fairly big, icluding a large outdoor side patio. Service was fast, friendly and professional. There is a very good menu selection (it's online). We had drinks first - 2 each of beers and cocktails. There was a good selection and they were fine. We had lobster mac & cheese, fish and chips, hali cheesesteak sandwich, and a smashburger. Plus, a shared order of blueberry grunt with ice cream for dessert. The food was very good with large portions. Mains are about $20-30. All in all a great meal. We very much recommend this restaurant when you're in Windermere.

East Coast street foods hits Sherwood Park with the Blowers and Grafton brand. Originally first arriving on Whyte Avenue in Edmonton, they are now expanding.

The Sherwood Park location is bright with lots of space and elbow room. Great natural lighting.

The service on this day was good. They seemed very busy and occupied with the Oilers game that night. But they were helpful when needed.

The food is great. They do a good job I'm their niche.

After numerous glowing recommendations, I finally decided to give this restaurant a try. It was easy to get in, and if the main lot is full, there’s plenty of extra parking available next door.

The menu was a delightful challenge, overflowing with options that seemed perfectly tailored to my tastes. I wanted to try just about everything!

I ended up choosing the fish and chips along with a bowl of chowder, while my wife went for the Shrimp Po’ Boy. Every bite was exceptional! The tartar sauce, in particular, was a revelation—I could drink it straight, it was that delicious.

The service was top-notch, and the food arrived quickly and steaming hot. If I had to mention one minor gripe, it’s this: I paid $8 for an extra piece of haddock with my fish and chips, but I was only given one tiny cup of tartar sauce. How am I supposed to enjoy three amazing pieces of fish with just one small serving? When I asked for more, I was charged an extra $2.

But honestly, if that’s my biggest complaint, then this place is clearly doing a lot right. I highly recommend giving it a try!

Fresh from the East Coast, Blowers & Grafton threw anchor and jibbed the sail. Halifax came to Medicine Hat.

Allow some time-traveling and order Halifax donair poutine. Voted as the official food of Halifax it lives up to the hype and most deliciously good! Shared meals should also include the mini lobster rolls, almost prepared too pretty to eat 🙂 just kidding it’s devoured.

One can easily imagine being on a cruise ship exploring the sea while dining inside this beautiful layout of the restaurant.

Anne’s raspberry cordial goes well with the crispy doughnuts and ice-cream.

Our server, Hannah moved quickly between the tables, made well received suggestions, brought meals fast and mentioned upcoming events.

The only thing that felt odd and took away from the aesthetics, the many television screens above the bar, showing an image of a man in some conference room. [Ocean life, East Coast & seaside beaches on the screens would be more interesting and contributing when the televisions are not in use.]

The restaurant fills up fast and is ever so busy. There are comfortable booths, tables with chairs and a well maintained powder and restroom for guests.

The prices vary but are quite competitive and the quality of the dishes exceeds expectations. The portions are larger than expected and doggie bags allowed.

Medicine Hat is known for welcoming many different cultures and traditions in their food industry. Hatters enjoy the delectable way migrated Halifax’s ambassadors contribute to the interaction and ever expanding horizons geared community. Blowers & Grafton Salute!

I came here, thinking about the delicious lobster sandwich I had in Halifax. Since it was my first visit, I wasn’t sure what to order and ended up choosing from pictures. Thankfully, a tall and friendly server (I didn’t catch his name) helped us and even fixed a mistake in our order without hesitation. The food was fantastic, and his kindness made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be back on Saturday or Sunday for the brunch menu.

I’d also like to share what we ate tonight and recommend it to anyone planning to visit and order.

Came with the kids to try out this spot on a Saturday morning. Food was pretty good and place looks really nice. We'd come back and try again.

Kids liked their burgers and donair slider, though one boy mentioned they were a bit heavy handed on the ketchup (on the burger) for his liking, but he was able to scrape some off and still had a great time with his food!

UPDATE: We recently went back for a large party event. This was probably the best service and food you could have asked for.
We arrived and the area was set up and ready. We had ordered our drinks and food and was outstanding!
The server was available and around it seemed whenever we needed anything and so polite.

For a larger group of 17 people the food took a short amount of time and was completely correct. We even had a young lady with nut allergies and they made her feel welcomed and that there was many options.

We loved the calamari, scallops and of course the fish and chips.
This is a huge improvement from when we were there last and honestly seemed like the years before when we would go.

Thanks so much staff and chefs this made my mom's 70th birthday amazing.

Visited with my grandmother. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was for the reasonable price point. the waitress was diligent about checking on us but did forget to bring my water, and my grandmothers second drink. the food was very quick, and full of flavor, and the volume of the place wasent soo loud that we couldent have a conversation. we did find it very chilly in the middle of summer, and I was cold sitting in shorts, so keep that in mind. but definitely worth checking this place out.

We haven’t enjoyed chowder like this since we visited New England! We also really enjoyed the fish and chips and the Irish cheesecake was heavenly. CJ, our server, was so personable and efficient, we never even had to ask for a refill! We also loved the vibe/design inside and the patio looked lovely. Great dinner and experience here!

The patio is nice and big. People say that McDonald’s fries are the best, no. This place makes better fries the same amount of salt, but thicker fries. Take that McDonald’s lol. I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was extremely flavourful. The sauce for the fries and fish was super flavourful and a little bit salty. I ordered some donuts off of the kids menu and they were super sugary. They also had sauce on them. The sauce was sugary and the blueberries with the donuts made it taste super good and the bread inside super fluffy amazing. I wish I could give this place six stars oh well.?

Killing some time so we stopped in for happy hour. Decent choices for happy hour. Will like to come back to try a few other items. Had the lobster rolls, very tasty. Those are not on happy hour BTW. Jamie our server was pleasant and attentive.
First time here for a birthday celebration, really nice atmosphere, we tried the mussel bucket as starter, the sauce was delicious. Then, the lobster Mac & Cheese, perfect and tasty, but a little bit expensive for me. Then, for dessert, we got the Halifax rum runner honey cake, it was amazing. I just have one comment to make, the washroom was not really clean. Other than that it was a good experience.

Really nice place for casual dinning or sports viewing. Food and drinks were really good. Service was exceptional. Only complaint I would have is that my first drink was about 2/3 only ice. It was really tasty though. I ordered another one asking to reduce the ice by 3/4 and they brought me a glass half the size. That was something I didn’t impressed me at all (making me think they add all that ice to make you think you are getting a tall drink while they are skimming n giving you pretty much just 2/3 of a small glass, since my drink still had a very large amount of ice. )

But besides this everything is very tasty and I still think it is a really good place to go.

This is a great place to enjoy food with friends!

Served by Sebastian and Hailey who were very attentive and friendly. Helped provide suggestions and made sure everything was good.

Food was excellent, we ordered the Donair Pizza, Falafel Salad Bowl, Clam Chowder, Ultimate Seafood Chowder, and the Fisherman’s Feast which has a really good selection of seafood (Clams, Fish, Scallops, and Shrimp)

I highly recommend Blowers and Grafton to get a taste of the Canadian East Coast in Calgary. Excellent food and great people!

First time here. Ordered the 2 piece haddock and chips. With extra piece. We shared the plate. Very tasty. The batter was just right. Everything came out hot. Jess mentioned that the seafood chowder was very popular. This was one of the best chowders I have had. Lots of seafood and thick . Taste was very good. Will be ordering the chowder again but bigger bowl. ?! Jess was at our table right away to take our order. Food came out fast and nice size of fish. Really liked the homemade tartar sauce. Restaurant was very clean, lots of room. Staff were friendly and happy. Outside patio that would be nice to hang out in the heat. Washroom was very clean and nice decor. Thanks Jess u got me hooked on the seafood chowder. We will be back! There Mother’s Day special looks really good.
