Been here 3 times for lunch now and I feel like this place needs more reviews. As I continue my quest for burger joints in this city, I'm glad I came across Abe's. I've tried the Big Lion, Tatanka, and Pulled BBQ Chicken burgers and I've enjoyed them all with the Pulled Chicken being my favorite, and Tatanka being my least favorite. I didn't think the Tatanka burger had too distinct of a flavor.
Beef patties were tender and I didn't think they were frozen. Buns were soft. Pulled Chicken was very tender and the bbq sauce wasn't too sweet. Their fries were hand-cut and enjoyable. If I remember correctly, they used kosher salt as well. I could be wrong about that. Poutine was solid too. Portions were pretty big too and for $12 for burger and fries, they're a good value.
This restaurant is solid. Not the best burgers and fries I've had but they were definitely the better ones in Calgary and Airdrie especially for $12. Abe's beats some of other burger joints in Calgary that are more expensive. A lot of newer burger joints are up to $15 now for burgers and fries so enjoy this price (and burger) while you still can.
