“Casual and tasty”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 18, 2013

House wine "twisted" pinot grigio was nice. Blackened salmon was tasty. Hell's Chichen (jerk chicken) was good but thermonuclear! Good service and OK prices $$ for casual and dining.

“Finally tried this place.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 14, 2013

I've been going to Jasper for years, but have never stopped in and tested out Evil Dave's.

My overall review on the restaurant as a whole is pretty positive. The food was great, the service was pretty good and the atmosphere was relaxing. It's kind of pricey for what it is, but they do have really big portions, so it's alright value. They also are very alert of the uprise in people being sensitive to wheat/gluten; I really like seeing a restaurant take this initiative and responsibly post which foods have come into contact with said allergens.

The only two complaints I have about this place are the following:

- The decanters that water is served in are extremely filthy, and it wasn't just ours. I examined the other tables and could actually see that they were just as dirty. I don't know if it's something in the water or if they're simply just not cleaned properly, but it kind of irked me.

- Their debit machine was down and the only option was to leave and walk down the street to the bank to take cash out. I know this might not seem like a big fault, but in my eyes and for the sake of convenience this was some what frustrating. It also was irritating that they didn't compensate for their machines being down; I'm not one to carry cash ever, so you can see as to why this would bother me.

Other than that, I was impressed with the dining experience and would suggest it to others on the basis that Evil Dave's takes these complaints into consideration.

Blake, first of all thank you for your review, we appreciate all feedback good and bad. We have addressed the issue with the decanters, it was hard water stains and we are now polishing these after washing and they look 100% better. As for the debit machines being down, your frustrations are our frustrations. We recently changed service providers and have had some issues. Needless to say that has been dealt with as well and the problem remedied! We hope to see you again soon.

“amazing food, great option for those with dietary issues”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

This restaurant was great, very considerate of dietary requirements and a whole heap of options. I am wheat intolerant and had a fantastic array of options available to me. The menu is a little expensive however being a holiday ski town it is to be expected. Will definitely return if we find ourselves in the area again.

“Never been served”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

Have tried to dine here on seven different occasions over the last three years and I have yet to be succesful. Best example of the treatment you can expect to receive is to be told the restaraunt is fully reserved even though there are available tables. When you do phone to resreve you are told you do not need reservations? The best was our last and final attempt where we were greeted when we entered by the site of the cook getting all dramatic because he wanted to go home early so he conferred with one of the servers and she told us that they had no food left. Terrible is the rating for the way you are treated only since I have never had an opportunity to try any of the dishes.
Not sure why I keep getting this type of service but I would recommend trying any of the other restaraunts before waisting your time at this establishment.

Robert, thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear your attempts to dine with us have been so difficult. We recommend calling in advance for reservations and we take reservations for everyone even if we don't expect to be busy to guarantee you get a seat. You can also email, all email requests come directly through me. When you arrive and notice there are available table and are told that there are not it's because we have reservations for these table from people that have either called in advance, sent email requests or stopped in.
We are open 7 days a week and seat tables until 10 pm nightly. If you arrive at 10 pm, you will be seated and served the same as if you arrive at 5 pm.
We would love to have you dine with us in the future. Please email me in advance and I will personally make sure you are able to join us and experience what Evil Dave's is all about... Wicked Food!

“Great food and pleasant atmosphere”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 4, 2013

My wife and I ate here on one night of our 3 days in Jasper. Food was great! The food is original and priced accordingly. You pay a little extra, but its well worth it.

Service was fantastic and the site is clean and comfortable.

We will absolutely go again if we are in Jasper
