Boston Pizza - Canmore

I haven't been to this restaurant in a while, so I decided to give it a try again. It was a mistake. I already knew their prices were high, but when they compromise on the quality of their products, that's just unacceptable. I was dissatisfied and will definitely be avoiding this place in the future.

We came here twice during our week in town. The staff was friendly, they have weekly specials which was awesome because we came on wing night and they were really good- coming from an American who loves wings. The pizza was the BEST, my fiancée who's never tried Bostons pizza asked to eat here again because it was that good.

Kids had a blast at this location. Busy even at the late hour and obviously filled with tourists (like us). The service was amazing. Nachos and pizzas were the staple food for the kids and Mrs had pasta. For a vegan, not much choice other than a said with some adjustments which was a bit disappointing for me. Kids used the free wi-fi and posted quite a few Snapchats which meant it was good. The servers are pleasant and attentive and were quick to recommend options for us.

I went to this place for lunch, and immediately was struck by how gauche it was. Everything from the outside, the menus, the presentation of the food, and the food itself screamed of carelessness and lifelessness. The building is pretty outdated, I would say that it was last renovated in the 90s by the looks of it, and while no lights were broken or letters missing, it just seemed like a mix of Johnny Rocket and Chuck E. Cheese's. Walking in, it still seemed the same way. The menus certainly looked pretty, but they were excessively large and heavy, and the material had an oily residue that felt like the result of years of being shoved in a musty drawer. The food wasn't bad, per se, it just wasn't close to good either. On top of that, they put down a bent pizza plate with remnants of pizza toppings that were clearly not from the kind of pizza that we ordered. The shrimp was applied too liberally, to the point where the pizza was more or less just a dough pie with cooked shrimp on top, as if the chefs no longer remembered what a pizza should actually look and taste like. All in all, I regret having gone here to eat at all, and likely will never step foot into another Boston Pizza in the next several years.

Gives me applebees vibes. Wings we ordered were sorta bad, but I did really like the sangria it was super sweet but still noticeably strong. Most importantly, it's open late if you need to grab a late dinner.
