I had the Garrison Burger - basically, a tricked out bacon cheese burger. It had a fresh made patty cooked to perfection, still juicy, well-melted cheese, crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato and pickle on I think a brioche bun. It was very well seasoned and very tasty, served reasonably quickly for the quality. I had a side salad that was very good with slivered almonds, strawberries, and a very good vinaigrette. My dining companion had the wings special and the tomato basil soup - both very good. We shared a side of fries as well and what arrived was a large dinner sized plate heaped with excellent, very tasty french fries. Our waitress was relaxed, friendly and helpful. The atmosphere (military touches befitting the name and former military base in the area) was very nice. We went on a Monday night and it was not too busy or loud.

And there wasn't even entertainment that night or anything. The food was good and it arrived in a decent amount of time even though it was busy. Decent selection of beer. Good service. The decor is awesome (lots of world war era photos from when the area was actually a garrison). Lots of TVs if watching a game with drinks or your meal is your thing. And... ther's a dish of hard candies by the door. All in all, worth it.

The food is excellent, the service is always great and the atmosphere is casual and welcoming. We come from the Maritimes so we know something about pubs--including how scarce they are in Calgary. Not a month goes by without a night and meal at the Garrison. A rave review seems long overdue.

The decor was bright and paid tribute to military veterans of the past. I had the house burger which was amazing, made from fresh ground beef and absolutely loaded with toppings. It was as massive as it was delicious. I will absolutely be back and would recommend it to anyone. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: The Garrison Burger
