| - On yet another business trip to Calgary, I had the opportunity to stay in the motel village. I arrived at the hotel at 8pm, starving and famished. After dropping my stuff I bolted into BP. I must have resembled Lionel, their Mascot, and Cookie Monster's third cousin.
This was my first time eating at a Boston Pizza outside of Ontario, though I have eaten at their US cousin Boston's. Though the restaurants look similar there was a certain "je ne sais quois" different about this location.
The hostess asked me how she could help me, and I requested a table and a menu. A couple of minutes later I met my waitress who promptly took my drink order.
For the main course I ordered the Jalepeno and Crispy Onion Prime Rib Burger with a side of Cactus Cut Potatoes.
First lets start with the Cactus cut potatoes. As a famished man, they lasted only a few minutes. If I were critical I would say they were slightly more oily than I would have wanted, but the dipping sauce made me forget about that issue.
On to the Burger. It was big, full-bodied, and had a beautiful mix of crunch (crispy onions), hot (jalepenos) and gooey mmm goodness (prime rib)
I was too full for dessert.
Overall I'm giving this three stars, I would have loved to give it 3.5. As friendly as my server was, the food was good - its just not the same Boston Pizza experience as back home, it just wasn't quite the same experience.
I would definitely consider coming back to this location.
