Bumpers The Beef House - Banff

It is 10am, I tired to call in an order at 9:50am and was told that they are "too busy" to take orders.so my new wife and I who are here in Banff on our

The waiter was incredibly friendly. While there may be a bit of a wait for the main course, you can pass the time by enjoying the salad bar.

I ordered the Canadian Mountain Stew, and my sister ordered a Kids' Spaghetti. The stew was filling but a bit salty.

We were staying at the hotel and super hungry and didn't want to go to the main shopping area to find a restaurant so...Bumpers! I had a bison burger which was fine (except the bun was very hard/stiff). My wife got the chicken gumbo. Not particularly tasty and more like chicken vegetable soup. The salad bar was okay...reminded me of a pizza hut salad bar. The service was polite, but slow. Overall, it was fine but I doubt we'll return.

I went to this restaurant based on other reviews seen on TripAdvisor, and was very disappointed. The ambiance and service were good, but the food was awful. We both ordered the prime rib with free salad bar. At the salad bar, there were very few options, making it impossible to assemble a green salad containing the most basic ingredients of a salad. Their signature dish, prime rib, was served room temperature and had no taste. My partner was ill the next day. While I can't be sure it was from the food, it is possible. Stay away!
