Banquet Fort McMurray is the ultimate spot for food, fun, and great vibes! The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, perfect for any occasion. Their menu offers delicious comfort food with standout burgers, wings, and creative cocktails. A special shoutout to Nick, who is hands-down one of the best servers around. His friendly attitude, attention to detail, and exceptional service truly elevate the experience.

I’ve been here a few times and it’s the best place to go in town! The food is amazing (shout out the fall feature menu) so are the drinks and the new PG-EH coupled with the bowling is an amazing way to have a full night of diverse fun! So many amazing staff i couldn’t even name them all. 11/10 recommend highly to everyone and anyone who is looking to go out for a good time!

At the end of the night my friend mistakenly entered an incorrect tip amount. The server brought the tip error to our attention by asking if we meant the tip to be that amount to which we replied it was an error and stated how much we intended to tip. We thought the services rendered were reflective in the origonally intended tip due to long wait times and constantly having to find the server to place our orders.The server then continued their explanation as to why they thought we should've have tipped 18%. The examples given were, previous customers usually tip that amount when they're in a group, sometimes they would add a 18% gratuity on the bill for customers in groups and most importantly their manager would need an explanation if the tip is less than 18%. Now having had this unique experience last night I will be informing all my family and friends who would consider visiting this establishment in the future about the intriguing tipping culture that exists there, regardless if the service was worthy or not. For all those that are reading this review and we did ask for another transaction to be put through so we can enter our tip and we were given no choice but to tip minimum 18%.

November 11, 2024

Came for our bachelor and bachelorette parties last night (Nov 9th) and had a great time, our server Nick was great at upselling. However, an 18% gratuity was added to our bill and no one told us, and we did not notice until the day after. This resulted in us tipping twice, which we would not have done had we been made aware there was already an 18% tip added. We tried calling multiple times around 1pm to see if there was someone we could talk to about this and get a refund, however no one answered the phone. It’s very deceptive to not mention there was an auto grat added to our bill, and I feel taken advantage of on such a special day. I am also from a different city, several hours away, and so are many of the other guests we invited, so I’m not sure if we even could get a refund at this point. It’s just disappointing.

At The Banquet in Fort McMurray, I was treated to a dining experience that transcended the ordinary. Far beyond a simple meal, my afternoon became an elegant soiree, elevated by the enchanting presence of Rose, the bartender—a lady of impeccable etiquette and refined grace. Her ability to weave engaging discourse on life’s profound matters—philosophy, theology, and the nuances of modern literature—turned a casual lunch into a captivating and intellectual affair. Rose's charm and poise, paired with her brilliant conversational flair, left an indelible mark, making this visit a truly sophisticated indulgence.

. Was on R&R from fire fighting and this place popped up a recommend whilst in Fort McMurray Wow what a experience, the Banquet is a great place to relax over a few beers and great food. Our waitress JANNELLE was amazing, so bubbly and engaging, nothing as a hassle for her, even dealing with our dry Australian humour. Food and atmosphere was great, so good we came back the next night for same experience.

An amazing place to visit, the atmosphere was pleasing and the staff was very welcoming. The only disappointing thing was that the jerk wings didn't feel authentic but they definitely did their best with their own twist. The brisket was exquisite, some of the best the I've had.

★★
September 22, 2024

From my past 4 experiences(3 take-out, 1 dine-in), I will be giving other restaurants an opportunity. The take-out got progressively worse from the first time and the 4th experience was a dine-in of quality absolutely not worth the expense. My daughters fries were the best of all the food(theres no way there was a certified chef in-house), and, the almost 15 dollar margarita was worse than the 4 dollar can I buy from the liquor store. Definitely not returning to that location again.

Love the rooftop patio. food is decent.

August 22, 2024

I m not sure what went wrong here. The steak sandwich was dry and overcooked. The beef dip tasted like they added an entire bottle of liquid smoke to the meat. The margarita pizza was super oily and the basil sauce lacked flavour. Honestly I ve had worse food but the cherry on top was the mop water beer they served us. I ordered my favourite beer (Microburst by Banded Peak brewing) and it usually has a light golden yellow color and has hints of tropical citrus however, this was a brownish dirt coloured and tasted nothing like what is usually tastes like. I realize this is more of a brewery issue than the actual restaurant itself but I don t understand how the bartender and waiters could look at the color of the beer and think it would be good to serve to a customer. Apart from the disappointing food and drinks the environment seemed alright considering the music was so loud I felt like I was at a night club at 7:00 PM. I understand this is a premium dive bar but I don t think I should have to shout at the person beside me to have a conversation at dinner. Again I m not sure if this was just a bad night for the staff because I see great reviews of this place but it was seriously disappointing and I don t think I d go here again.

Ordered through Skip the Dishes. 1 smoked beef dip, cactus chips and the deep fried snickers. All came except the snickers. Beef dip tasted like it was smoked with pressboard. The melted ice cream was a big hit

July 22, 2024

Tell me why I had to wait 2 whole hours for my food when everyone else in my group got there food 30 minutes to an hour later. Mind you there were 13 other people. Worst service ever I hope they go out of business.

This restaurant was chosen for a work meeting. I had not been here before. I always order a burger first to see how it tastes. A good burger says a lot. The burger was great had a smash burger feeling with two patties. The bacon was amazing. Extra thick cut. The rest of the individuals from the meeting loved the food from the KFC sliders to the sweet and spicy sandwich. The beef dip was good and the beat salad sounded like it was enjoyable. The service was great as Cass is a fantastic waitress. She was attentive to our needs as a group. The surrounding customers that showed up she dealt with in the same positive manner. Love they have games and will definitely be back.

First time coming as I dont get the chance to eat in town often, but I enjoyed the meal. The Pork Belly Mac and Cheese was the 2nd best Mac and Cheese I have had in a restaurant. Nice and cheesy with a nice crust on top (just needs some crushed up Doritos on top to make it #1).

June 22, 2024

I d give zero stars for food and service. Place was empty, waited 20 min for a beer, ordered food waited another 40 min for it, didn t receive it at all. I think her excuse was I forgot to put that order in, this isn t the first time for $*** service there.. it s ran by young kids that have no idea about customer service. Great patio but I ll never go back. Get some new staff.

I am new to FMM and wanted to try the Banquet. Unfortunately this evening, my partner and I didn t get the chance to try the food (or even order for that matter). So I cannot speak on food quality. We were told to pick our seats so we chose on the patio. We waited 25 minutes and watched many people be seated, and be served right away! No one even looked our way. So we left and went elsewhere. Very frustrating experience and turns me off from ever returning. I have been a waitress, I understand being busy but there was barely any people which makes it extra frustrating. I suggest having the waitress seat customers so no one is left waiting for over 30 minutes

The food was ok but the service was aweful. There was 2 wait staff working and 1 bartender with only 3 tables of people. We waited half an hour for drinks, an hour for food, and then once they brought us our food we did not see our waitress again for over an hour.

We ordered the steak main, it tasted great. The sides were cheese curd mashed potatoes and and asparagus. Potato side was a bit small, lots of cheese to potato ratio. Some people may like this, I found it ruined the potatoes for me but they were still good taste wise. Asparagus side was 4 pieces, larger than average but a small portion. We also got the trash can nachos. Onions were all piled on one spot, not a big deal we can move it ourselves, and the cheese was spread throughout the nachos, which was nice. We were supposed to get salsa and jalapeño and queso cheese, they didn t give it to us. As a pickup order, definitely make sure they give you your sauce otherwise not having salsa in the fridge is a problem, good food overall.

Place has the potential and design to be a fantastic place to have a good time, sadly it s poorly run, and poorly cleaned, I found dried snot on the walls in the bathroom, and couldn t even get a refill on a water. Banquet fort mcmurray does itself 0 favours, i can t believe their doors are still open. Not one smile from a manager or a server either, there s plenty of other establishments in fort mcmurray that are head and shoulders above this place, spend your money there. This place doesn t deserve it

Went to take my son for lunch yesterday and after our first choice turned us down we decided to to to the banquet. Good atmosphere, good food, why not!? We got at the door and waited for someone to sit us, as per sign at the door wait HERE to be seated . Ok alright. I saw a server at the bar, she saw us, I was looking at her while she was TALKING with another server and laughing. She didn t come to the door, I waived. Still didn t say anything, didn t do anything. We kept waiting. Nothing. We decided to leave. I was like ok, place is not busy, waiters completely ignored the customers until they left. Then people don t understand why places close it s doors! Same with the brewhouse, we got seated but no one showed up and we had to leave AGAIN! we had 3 disastrous attempts in a small city like Fort McMurray is a LOT, until we ended up at Boston pizza and we had a fantastic experience from the beginning. BP never disappoints.

An absolute blast for a beer, the food is OK but nothing special or terrible. Lots of fun activities and tons on tvs for sports viewing Kid-friendliness: Bowling along with a full kids menu

We ordered the sliders, which came with mold on one bun, and the lettuce wraps, which had a hair in it. Not impressed with the kitchen unfortunately, considering the atmosphere and service is usually top notch.

Good bar. Great service. Management not so much. I was charged a double drink that I never consumed. Manager refused to refund me because I had already paid for it. True Story.

Service was quick enough. Food was tasty, but priced higher than I felt it was worth. Meals are $$, and if youre having cocktails or beers as well, its easy to rack up a large bill. My seasonal salad with chicken was $26 bucks. Patio is large and a great place to kick back in the sun.

After attending this place for the first time, I dont believe I will be back. When we went, there was about 4 tables in total so not busy. The speed of service was okay, and I ordered the 3 slider appy and my spouse ordered the lettuce wrap bowl. I took my first bite into the appy and realized the bun was molded. This shows poor long term and short term quality control. That was bad enough, but I decided to let them make me a new one. As we were waiting for that, about half way through my spouses meal, she pulled out a nice long piece of hair out of the bowl. That was it for us, we told them we no longer wanted the food and left. Unfortunately I cant even speak to if the food was good or not as clearly quality was not a concern of the chef that day and who knows what was coming out of the kitchen that we couldnt even see. To bad, as the location and rooftop bar seem great, but I dont even want to find out more about the food quality and how there seems to be no controls in place, or the controls are just not followed. Either way, unfortunate. Just an update, they asked me to reach out to them via e-mail which I did, explaining the details on what happened and how it could be made better for future customers. That was on August 4th and have heard nothing back from them. Not sure if it was not received or the reply on here was just to make it look like they were doing something about it but still had no desire to talk after that. I did have the service level 3 out 5 stars but after this encounter I have reduced that rating as well. Hope it gets better for everyones sake ! They did get back to me finally, not much for a reply but at least it was a response.

Zero stars. This place sucks according to most people. Weve been here 1.5 hours and only served one round of drinks and still havent got our food that we ordered right away.

Unreal. We came in and ordered some drinks, then waited and waited and waited. Got drinks. Then we ordered food over an hour later, and finally we got food. It was the worst experience ever. Part 2: Well, we ate, and it was average. Asked a server for our bill, and she said coming right up. 15 minutes later, there is no bill. A complete joke this place is. If you come here, hit McDonalds first. Ive posted this while still in the place. Thats how much time Ive had. You have now seen us twice first and last.

Wonderful food, beautiful kind servers that are attentive to serving the table. Ours, Emily, showed up basically anytime anyone had a need, she was able to make small talk and sort of blend into the mood without ruining anything going on with the group as a whole. Really was a pleasure for the 6 or so hours that our group was waited on, when it was evident that our table didnt have a functional pit without even asking she didnt hesitate to weasel us over to a new table without us even asking.

I ordered gluten free and received a dish with gluten. I asked my server to check if the buttermilk chicken dish was still made gluten free, she confirmed it was. Upon receiving it and eating about five of the fries I immediately felt sick, told my server and asked if she again can confirm if its gluten free and she quickly came back and said no the fries were not, so I sent the dish back. I figured after a situation like this that I wouldnt still have to pay for this meal, getting sick and all from their mistake, but I still had to pay it. Was only given a card saying the next time I came in my meal would be free. Why would I ever come back?
