I like cooking so fondue/hot rock restaurants seem great fun to me, even more fun is seeing my wife try to work out what to do with raw ingredients. It’s not Michelin star cuisine, but it’s fun. The menu offers Elk, wild boar, bison etc so you get to eat what you’ve seen whilst camping. The staff were friendly, recommended... More

Excellent restaurant, reasonable prices. Great fondues of varios types and sizes: seafood, buffalo, alligator, rattlesnake, (and of course the good, old swiss fondue), you name it. Steaks look good too, but I have not tried them. Large variety of beers and reasonable wines. Nice set up, good background music from the 70s, Stones, Lennon and McCartney, AC DC, Eagles, ......

I always really enjoy coming here because of the food. The fondues are delicious and they have a wide range of meats for you to cook on hot rocks that come with a variety of delicious sauces. There is a cozy little private room for two at the back that I have been in with my boyfriend and it was... More

great servers very attemptive, good ambiance and must be very cozy especially during winter time, I found the inside areas a bit dark for Spring and if you are claustrophobic stay in the patio. We were there for the complete fondue dinner so after you are done with your starter salad, they bring to your table either a vegetable fondue... More

I've worked on the front desk of a main hotel in banff for 1.5years and have heard people raving about the Grizzly House and tell me I have to eat there before I leave. So my boyfriend and I decided our last meal in town would be a special and romantic one at the Grizzly house. Unfortuntely, I am very... More

Probably the worst service ever. Incredibly over priced but my girlfriends and I went with the flow of things. Our bill came to $420 and our one friend decided to pay the whole thing. While were packing up to leave our waitress ( horrible one at that ) came to us very pissed off because she didn't think her tip... More

We had made a reservation for a large group but that changed just hours before and the staff were very accommodating and pleasant about the change. Those of us that did show up were seated in a "cozy" setting - the table was just big enough to accommodate the dishes & hot rocks. Our server ran through the menu very... More

We arrived to a packed house on a Sunday night. After a short wait we were seated in a back corner of the main dining room. The restaurant is very dark and noisy. Not the place to go to have a dinner where you plan to have much conversation. After a rushed explanation of the fondue/hot rock dining style we... More

Greeted by a curt and sour faced waitress who was old enough to know better we were shown a table under a loud speaker and near to the kitchen. As the place was nearly empty we moved ourselves which didn't improve her mood. The room was replicating the inside of a log cabin so was dark and dingy with low... More
