This place e serves the greatest meals. Myself and my next door neighbors go to eat before we go to Lougheed Centre each time. Fish and chips to die for, excellent chicken with gs and this last time we were treated to Honey cake which was fabulous. We will be returning in 2 weeks again to try something else. Recommend this place for great food.

This place is a gem for Camrose! I was so so so impressed with their Desi Dhaba menu (authentic Indian food) after falling in love with Indian cuisine in Vancouver I was pleasantly surprised that it surpassed my expectations. Best Indian food in town hands down. Everything is made to order and you can choose your spice level. If you’re looking for something more westernized, their folks menu is great. The quality, portion sizes, and variety is unbeatable. Everyday from 11-3 the price is $12.99 UNBEATABLE!! And each meal during this time gets a free coke. Run to this place and try it! Service is always amazing and we’re never disappointed.

We went there to watch the hockey game, found the place almost empty despite the big screens. The food was amazing! We went to the Popular sports bar in town the previous night and were very disappointed with both the price and the portion sizes. Half of us got food from the Canadian food menu at Folks, two of us got food from the Indian Menu and they were outstanding! We also got two different appetizers and anything they fry is delicious. I won't eat anywhere else in Camrose. They have so many options. They impressed with the atmosphere, the options, the quality, the portion sizes, the service. They got me. They win.

I have eaten at Folks twice now. Had their fish and chips and the sire fried harmony noodle bowl. They were both excellent very reasonable. Their lunch prices are great. You should try them, I know I will keep going back as long as their quality stays the same. A-5 star place to eat.

Had a fantastic meal at Folks with my girlfriend last week. The food was delicious and quick to come out. The waitress was very kind and sweet. We have already decided that we need to come back to try more! Update: went back again to try the happy hour specials. Waited until 8pm to go for the half off appetizers. We were then told that since they had stir fry on special, happy hour specials weren’t in effect. So we ordered the Saturday special of pizza but they didn’t have that either. Drinks didn’t come out until after the food. Once we got the bill, it was wrong and we were overcharged for our drinks. This experience was incredibly disappointing.

Overall experience here is underwhelming. They have an Indian menu but are unable to differentiate between what is offered in the menu and their combo meals. The food is good, the Naan is store bought and not fresh. As for the combo it suggests it includes a curry, rice, Naan, salad and dessert. However they did not bring out the salad and the dessert. When we asked for it they said it would be an additional charge. The indian gentlemen was quite arrogant and really not that nice. As for the Asian waitress she was kind but did not know what was on the menu. The curry was good for a small town but overall I did not enjoy my experience here.

Vegetarian options: Taste, good enough portion and reasonably priced.

July 21, 2024

Food was overpriced and both under and over cooked. Chicken wings were so overcooked they were dry and chewy, also had no seasoning that we could taste. Fish itself was cooked, but the batter was half raw. Were never even offered drinks, had to ask for them on our own and was made to seem like it was a surprise that we would want something other than water to drink. Will not be returning.

I need more stars!! RAVE: Folks bar and eatery.. My friends and I like to get together and have a supper every other month to catch up. We wanted to find someplace that was NOT going to require us to scream over the music. And Folks was suggested. This restaurant was cozy... As in the lighting and colour schemes. It was clean, and the music was lower than our volume. The food was fabulous.. and the portions were very generous. We all sat there completely happy with the food. Our table had appetizers and the main meals. Did I mention how tasty and wonderful it was. And as we were wrapping up, our super friendly server asked us to stay for a complementary dessert that the cook was trying out. Oooooohhhhhhhhhh my goodness....heaven .!!! That is one dessert they NEED on their menus.. Honey butter cheesecake with milk and caramel .,,.!! Food was great... But I am starting with THAT dessert next time.!!! It was not busy at all for 6:00 p.m. on a Thursday night. And that, honestly, shocked us. Come on Camrose. I admit I nearly missed this gem, due to location... In the same building as Burger King, and checkpoint ( shell station). Ignore that... This restaurant stands out.. trust me. Go try it out.... Prices for meals about $12-25. . My teriyaki Bliss Rice bowl was sooooooo good. Our table had fish and chips. Alfredo, a savory steakhouse fusion. And every one of us enjoyed the meal. Thank you for the great night!! UPDATE!!! I went again and at noon got the menu. All items were $12.99 my fish and chips meal came with a free coke. Bill was under $14.00 . . Some items from original menus have been whited out. Still well worth the money.. And place was busy

I wanna say pleasantly surprised. They have a challenge here and thats being lumped in with a gas bar with zero segregation. Food is absolutely fantastic, this is the place you come for curry. With that being said if you are with someone that does not have an eclectic pallet fear not, they have dishes for them as well. Going forward I would recommend keeping my drink full, I get it you want to be kind and respectful, but dont worry I would prefer your presence and a full drink . Good luck you deserve success!

Good food for the price and the drink is the best eating out deal in town 11am-3pm!!! Just a lil disappointing cause you can order only off one side of the menu and theres 2 choices of drink. But I am not going to complain about free pop/ice tea lol!

With a good review, we decided to try this place, but we left very disappointed. It is not a bar and eatery atmosphere. It is attached/open to a convenience store. The food was misleading. The chicken bao bun was so close to being good, except instead of using chicken thigh, it was a chicken finger, so it ruined the whole taste. The steakhouse poutine was the same let-down being topped with deep-fried gingerbeef style steak strips instead of actual steak. Again, it was so close to being good as the poutine itself had good flavour. 4.5 stars is not accurate. If you are looking for good pub fare and atmosphere, this is not the location.

We went out to supper there to give it a try and we were very pleasantly surprised at first it was a little rough as we asked for a Alexander Keiths as we saw a tap for it but the waiter said they didnt have it. But other than that the food was incredible and the service great.

February 21, 2024

Horrible service! We had to phone the restaurant in order for an employee to direct us to a table. They did not take our drinks and give us any menus (we had to grab them ourselves). Only one other customer was present at the place and said the same thing. We had to wait 5-10 minutes for someone to come out. Gave up because of service. The one customer said the food was great.

It was clean, and the music was lower than our volume. The food was fabulous.. and the portions were very generous. I took photos, and they do an injustice to the portions. Three out of the four meals were not finished. Too much food. We all sat there completely happy with the food. Our table had appetizers and the main meals. Did I mention how tasty and wonderful it was. And as we were wrapping up, our super friendly server asked us to stay for a complementary dessert that the cook was trying out.

Food was very average, the service was great. Very kind and knew when to be around and when not to be. The food was average in terms of portion but tastes good, I really enjoyed the taste of my chicken burger, but the portion of the chicken was very small and thin. When I get a thicker chicken burger at Jollibees or Popeyes I tend to be a little more upset.

★★★

Let me start off buy saying our server was amazing. They had a good special running. I dont recommend the turkey club, it says roast turkey but it was 2 small slices of deli turkey on a burger bun with bacon n tomato. My husband burger was pink but he ate it. The fries were realy good. Food took about 30 min to come out. I will give it one more try.

I recently dined at the folks bar and grill, and it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I walked in, the welcoming ambiance set the tone for a great evening. The menu boasted a tantalizing array of options, making it difficult to choose just one dish. I started with their signature cocktail, a perfectly balanced concoction that was both refreshing and flavorful. For appetizers, I opted for the loaded nachos, and they were nothing short of indulgent. Crisp tortilla chips were generously smothered with melted cheese, fresh salsa, and creamy guacamole &in main course loved the junky burger with double patties. Amazing food will visit again

★★★★★

I couldnt resist trying their mouthwatering barbecue wings. The spicy crispy chicken delight, finger-licking-good sauce. The starters were just as impressive as we ordered popstickers and Bao, perfectly flavoured. In summary, the Folks bar and grill left a lasting impression with its delicious food, inviting atmosphere, and excellent service. I cant wait to return and explore more of their enticing menu offerings.

I recently dined at Folks bar & eatery restaurant, and it was a delightful experience. The restaurants authentic flavors truly transported me to India. I started with samosas that were perfectly crispy and filled with flavorful spices. For the main course, I ordered the Butter chicken , a creamy and aromatic dish that had just the right amount of heat. The naan bread was soft and pillowy, the ideal accompaniment. The service was friendly, attentive & beautiful. Its a fantastic spot for anyone craving for an Indian & italian food.

A must restaurant to try in Camrose! Amazing food, large portions and geat service! We started with wings which were crispy and tasty. For mains, we ordered a poutine which was massive and split it between the 2 grandkids who loved it, the butter chicken was delicious and very filling. The Junkey Burger was loaded with flavour and more than I could eat. My daughter ordered the Biryani with lamb. Again, tasty and had to take half of it home! We were given a piece of warm honey cake-so tasty and a great finish to our meal.Prices were reasonable and the ambiance was surprisingly warm and comfy!
