No matter what our family event is birthday, anniversary, even if it's just two of us going for lunch or supper. Great service, fantastic food and wonderful drinks. 100% RECOMMEND YOU TRY THE PROPER!!!!
Service was lackluster. After waiting over half hour for a wing starter that came out room temp. My steak and potatoes came out cold. The cold Mongolian Beef the lady ordered came out with vegetables and meat that had to be cut twice more because the chunks were huge. When asked about what can be done about the condition of our meal we were told "It is what you picked. I'm sorry I don't cook or prepare the food. Let me speak to my manager" When time to pay we were offered 10$off our meal. Be cool to have a good experience like every one else.
Perfect Dinning Experience, it's worth the wait.. 25mins almost.. The name defines itself! They do it properly!! I will never try any steak unless in this place..the price is very fair.🥰😍 Keep up a good work.
I read a lot of reviews to make my one meal in Lloydminster count and this did not disappoint. It truly was the most tender strip loin I’ve ever had and the fat rendered perfectly. The garlic bread was like a cloud and the Caesar salad and gin Caesar drink were really good too. id put it in my top 5 steaks of my life without question
We recently visited The Proper, and I must say, it was an extraordinary dining experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for the evening. To begin, we ordered the calamari, and it was absolutely excellent. The calamari was perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining tender on the inside, and it was seasoned to perfection. It was accompanied by a delightful dipping sauce that complemented the dish wonderfully. For our main courses, I opted for the BBQ burger, and my partner chose the Philly cheesesteak. The BBQ burger was a true delight – the patty was juicy and flavorful, topped with just the right amount of BBQ sauce, crispy onions, and fresh vegetables. The bun was soft yet held everything together perfectly. My partner's Philly cheesesteak was equally impressive. The steak was tender and well-seasoned, paired with melted cheese and sautéed onions and peppers. Every bite was a burst of delicious flavors, and the portion sizes were generous. We couldn't leave without trying one of their desserts, so we decided to share the tiramisu. It was, without a doubt, the highlight of our meal. The tiramisu was light, creamy, and had just the right balance of coffee and cocoa flavors. It was the perfect sweet ending to our evening. In addition to the fantastic food, the service at The Proper was top-notch. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made excellent recommendations. The staff genuinely cared about our dining experience, and it showed in their attention to detail. The ambiance of the restaurant is also worth mentioning. The Proper has a cozy yet modern vibe, with tasteful decor and comfortable seating. It’s an ideal spot for both casual meals and special occasions. Overall, I highly recommend The Proper to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience. The combination of delicious food, outstanding service, and inviting atmosphere makes it a standout restaurant. We will definitely be returning!
The waitress that we got both times were really nice (not because it's their job), you can tell they're really nice people. The food was amazing, blew me away. I went in with low expectations, due to previous experiences with some restaurants in Lloyd. I went back 2 days after just to test the consistency, ordered the same thing and it was still amazing, service was good, wait time was approx 15-20 mins on the busy day (not bad). Can't complain. I'll be a regular for suuuure. (Re pics I'm sorry we kinda digged in before taking a pic) If you're reading this. Please give it a try ! You wont regret it.🤤
Amazing food! My husband and I had the beef short rib and the ribeye. Both were incredible. Our waitress was very attentive and we never had to ask for a thing, she was always on top of it. Don’t pass up an opportunity to eat here!
Tried the place out on my latest visit. Servcie was super friendly. The food was good. Had the steak and pasta. Steak was cooked properly and they provided a LOT of pasta plus garlic toast. Lounge side seemed like a number of locals, restaurant side was getting busy when I left. One concern is the parking for the area, but there might be spots across the street if needed.
They treat me great and they have good food and drink
Nowadays in a world that costs to much it was a pleasant surprise to see that the proper sure dosent skimp on the portion sizes, A++
My absolute favorite place to eat in Lloydminster.
Busy at lunchtime, lots of people chose to eat here, food is really good .
Everything here is good
Had the dry rib special .. so tasty, and big portions for the price!
Always great.
Great service & food, food is awesome
Best butter chicken in town!
Delicious! If I could rate more than 5 I would!
Excellent food and staff, my favorite place to go for a great steak! Dietary restrictions: I m a carnivore and they have no issues accommodating my diet Food : 5/5 |
The burgers are my favorite
Wish they did take out
Stopped in for an early lunch-good thing because at noon the dining area was filled to capacity. Good food, excellent service, fair prices. Would stop again next time we re in Lloyd.
If you want to go out for a meal, I highly suggest The Proper. Everything about that establishment is fantastic. The chefs definitely know what theyre doing. The food is tasty and plentiful. (We all had to get take out containers.) The staff were so friendly and always smiling. The restaurant was clean and cheerful looking.
Love this locally owned restaurant with an ethnic flaire! Everything Ive tried is SO yummy and the service is top notch. The only recommendation Id make is Tiramisu from a different supplier with a more authentic Italian recipe. Overall its a great place to meet with friends and enjoy quality eats
Holy wow. Just eat here. Enough said
While travelling thru we were looking so forward to trying this restaurants take out but apparently theyre to busy to cater to take out today...incredibly frustrating!!!
From out of town in a over sized vehicle staying at a hotel but could not get del
Food tastes great, not much for presentation but your in Lloydminster so expectations werent high there. Good food though for a good price!
The food was absolutely amazing.... would definitely eat there again anytime. Everything I have tried has been GREAT!!!
This place is amazing and affordable. You may have to wait a little here and there because its busy, but its worth it!
Ive been here a few times and every time they knock it out of the park! My hardest thing is choosing what to eat because its all crazy good! Fantastic service everytime. This is our go to dinner spot every time! Ps... Henna is absolutely the most amazing and helpful and friendly waitress I have ever dealt with. 5 stars and 2 thumbs up just for her! Keep up the great work!
Was in the bar side for lunch as I was driving through town. Service was quick and friendly. Definitely a popular spot for regulars.
This place has such great food. Great daily specials as well. Kid-friendliness: Has a decent menu for children over the age of 6 Food : 5/5 |
My wife got a steak after a long wait it came cold as well as her mashed potatoes. Waitress says we will cook it more we said no because it was already cooked more than the way she ordered it. My fish was very greasy. The waitress said I watched them cook your steak and it came right to you so there isn t anything wrong with it. Probably won t return. The only thing good was the burger my son had and our one appetizer. For what we paid there are better choices in town.
We need to try the dinner menu because the lunch menu is outstanding! If your coming to Lloydminster you have to eat here
Omg the food was the delish and well worth the cost. Look at the pics it says it all there. Medium well and juicy steak. I didnt know this place and my next date and I will be dining here.
Foods are amazing
Steaks are thin and under seasoned
best service in lloyd, best homemade food and price and portions, you can share meals. and coldest best beer in town!!!!
AMAZING!! Food was top notch, and service was great.
Blackened Cajun chicken sandwich , ooooohhh yummy
Chelsey was a great server food was amazing Cesar s where even better
The Proper is always amazing. Service is fantastic and so is the food.
By far the best stake I have had in a while (with the exception of my fathers - Biased) Very busy restaurant with amazing food, great customer service and fast wait time from the time I order to the time I got my food. I definitely recommend going to The Proper! Seems like a great date night spot, birthday party, or just a location to stop in when passing by Lloydminster.
We love eating here! Probably our favourite spot in Lloyd. Food is fantastic. Steaks are always great quality, blackened chicken is amazing and calamari is delicious. Love the servers, great energy
A pleasant place for dinner. Very attentive server. Uninspired decor.
Best steak in town
The server was super friendly and genuine and she didnt hover or come to our table 3,000 times and even though it was busy she still came to our table regularly. When we went the steak was on special so all three of us got it, and really enjoyed it! We also got the dry rib bites which were SO yummy! My father-in-law also had coffee which she regularly came by to top up for him. Overall an excellent experience and we will certainly be back!
It is busy place and we came for the prime rib but it was already sold out around 6:30pm, got the 16oz ribeye and it was amazing. I only took off a star for the slower service as it took about 40 mins to get the food. Would definitely go back for the steak again.
I had the most tender and tasty steak that Ive had in years.
My family and I adore the staff and appreciate the good food every single time one of our favorite places to eat
Best fish and chips that I have had in Alberta. Going back on a Saturday to try the 18 hour steak.
Just another divvy bar. Will never go there again.
Good food good service good times
Went for Valentines Day special today and it was amazing! Owners are also amazing! Check them out if you havent yet!

The Proper burger is soooooo good! Also the dry ribs are yummy
We came for dinner. The portions were good, the food was excellent and the prices were very reasonable! We normally spend alot more when 6 of us go out for dinner and a couple drinks. The atmosphere was awesome and we all enjoyed the live music, even the kids! Not something you see very often in a restaurant. We had fish & chips, a burger and chicken tenders. Adults had steak and butter chicken. We will definitely be back again.
Hands down my favorite restaurant in town ! Highly recommend!
Always Amazing fish and chips.
Our favourite hole in the wall eatery in Lloydminster unreal food with great service. Hard to get ahold of anyone by phone for take out orders would be the only con here.
I ordered take out for the first time from here and it was not a great experience. I ve never had a problem dining in; great food and service! But today when I brought my meal home it was not made how I ask for it. I called and they said oh shoot, want another one? I said yes. So I drove round trip across town twice to get this sandwich. It was a $22 meal + tip and I didn t get anything extra in return, not even a proper (genuine) apology; which would have sufficed. Even when I picked up my replacement they just handed it to me and I went on my way. I work in a restaurant that really knows how to take care of people in these exact situations, and this just wasn t it. Didn t feel taken care of at all. I even then only ate half my meal as it was soggy and lettuce was a bit wilted. I know take out is tricky with these sorts of things, but it just added to the problem. Waste of time and money today sadly.
Great food, great service
I have no complaints at all. The service was amazing, food was delicious, portions were huge, prices are fair, atmosphere is cozy. My half rack of ribs was the size of full racks I ve had at some other places. Garlic toast was soft and delicious. Mushroom cap appetizer was truly mouth watering. Will return !!!
This is hands down our go to spot for a good meal. Always friendly staff, warm and inviting environment, and AMAZING food. The waitresses in particular always make sure we have an Amazing experience by checking in frequently and remaining open to feedback about the food! Best steak in town and nobody can change my mind. I have and will continue to recommend this place to friends and family.
Great customer service and amazing food!
Lobster tail was super small and way salty
A really fun neighbourhood pub/restaurant! Great atmosphere.
The chicken club is a very tasty dish, paired with a poutine.
Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options Food
Best prime rib in town on Saturday nights. Sometimes tough to make a reservation when they are too busy to answer the phone.
I dont review very often, but this is hands down the best restaurant experience Ive had in Lloyd! The food was awesome, and it didnt take forever to get my order, fast and friendly service! Well definitely visit again!
Every time I go I am treated like family. The food is always excellent and the service is outstanding.
Had the fish and Caesar salad. Super tasty. The piece of fish was big (definitely not boxed fish) and the salad had great flavor with a good amount of shredded parmesan.
As always, the food was great. I miss the one waitress, but the rest are just as good.
Never had a bad meal yet here and reasonably priced , friendly atmosphere
Best in town!
Very solid food and service. Food portion are huge. I got the blackened chicken meal. Very tasty. Wife got the chicken club and was huge and very good. The kids meal was great price and normal size burger. It s a must when you come to Lloyd.
I enjoyed our meal at The Proper. The serving staff were friendly and kept my iced tea topped up. The meal was delicious, a crispy piece of fish half the size of my plate featuring yummy cole slaw and a house dill dipping sauce. Excellent food at a competitive price in a family friendly atmosphere
The Proper Eats and Drinks is by far the best place to dine in Lloydminster. The outstanding food and pleasant staff make it a hot spot for many regulars! I was with a large party and we ordered the Pork Ribs, Mongolian beef, lasagna and the Burger - I would say this burger is the best burger between here and Calgary! All of the dishes were delicious and of perfect portion size. The price point is spot on! This restaurant is always busy so I suggest coming early if you want to get a table. There are absolutely no complaints about this establishment! I recommend everyone check it out!
Best ribeye in town. Local beef
Delicious!
Delicious pasta.
Amazing food, staff and atmosphere.
Great food and service!
Great food but dam answer your phone! 38 calls in an hour, busy says call back! Really! Not very professional! Very frustrating! Well we returned yesterday same great food great service but again no one answers the phone!! And I don t get why you close on Sundays? I get Mondays but it would be great to eat there on a Sunday with family or friends! Such an amazing restaurant but sucks you re not open today because we really wanted to come back today with another friend! Oh well we will be back when we come through again! Management needs to get that phone answered not everyone can take their chances and drive there and not be able to get a table! As well, you should be open on days that would be busy. I bet you d have more people there on a Sunday then on a Tuesday!
Food are so delicious
When you call no one ever answers the phone. I don t know what kind of business does this.
Best dry ribs!!
This is the second time we have gone to The Proper on Saturday to have the prime rib and this is the second time we have been disappointed because it was sold out. We were there by 5:30 tonight and they said they were sold out by 4:30. My advice is make more! We were not the only people that were disappointed by this!
The best service I have had in a very long time!!! Had the prime rib, and it was awesome. I also tasted the beef short ribs and will be getting that on my next visit. THANK YOU for the great meal and service
Excellent service and sweet potato fries to die for! The only negative I found was a non gluten-free sauce that was on a supposedly gluten-free dish. I will be back for more of those fries!!!!
Yummy prime rib. Fast service
The food is amazing, the staff are fantastic and it s a great place to hang out with friends. Definitely a great spot to check out!
If you dont stop here you are missing out. If you are into BBQ this is the place to eat. Will definitely be coming back.
Relaxed vibe with lots of friends getting together for a meal or a drink. The lounge has a wall of slot machines that get good use, and the food was pretty good. Friendly staff and great service. Will definitely be back.
Excellent food, excellent customer service highly recommended
The place is amazing
Had a little time to kill before wife had to work so we took our three year old.out for fries. The service was fantastic and friendly. She took the extra effort to make sure we were able to eat and pay on our limited tine frame. Food all tasted great and we had a great afternoon out with a toddler. Thank you
Good food at resonable prices
Great food, service and atmosphere. Food came quickly and well prepared, always fresh! The prices are good, especially for how much food you get. If you leave hungry its your own fault. Definitely recommend Pictured us the spicy chicken burger.. its huge. I only ate half and took the rest home. Was good but the chicken could use a bit extra seasoning before breading, everything else was perfect though. Great sauce!
Best food in town
Food was great! Definitely recommend.
Went last night as I ve been dying to try the prime rib they are famous for. Was not disappointed. The prime rib was cooked to perfection - med rare- the side of garlic parm mashed potatoes were tasty and the broccoli was perfect. My bf had the burger and fries - perfectly cooked, juicy and tasty. My Caesar could have been better, The clamato was kind of diluted tasting and overall could have been better tasting with a nicer seasoning mix but I m also very picky with my Caesar s and it wasn t too bad at all. The other drinks we had were all so good. As well, the service was excellent! Very attentive and prompt. Can t wait to go back and try more menu items.
Food was good .
Amazing place to eat, the vegetables were exquisite,so did most of the plates we took, the steak was perfect, amazing service from the waitress unfortunately I dont remember her name but we will definitely go back and highly recommend this place ,the manager too, she is amazing and caring going to each table checking on everyone..
Very different atmosphere between the restaurant and lounge. Staff if restaurant side were great. Very friendly and helpful with thier opinions of the menu. Steak dinner in general was good. Steak was well cooked but needed seasoning. Vegetables were cooked perfectly. Mashed potatoes were good but again needed seasoning. Cheese steak sandwich was also good. Strong beef flavor and holds well.
Yummmm! Great food at good prices in a friendly family atmosphere.
never had a bad experience here! my boyfriend and i love coming here for date nights, staff is so so friendly and they have arguably the best burgers in lloyd!! highly recommend coming here!!
Great people n delicious Food Thumbs
This restaurant is well run. Very impressed with the service and the food. Generous portions and well priced.
Any review under 5 stars is unacceptable. Not only will I be back, but in larger numbers.
Was 10 out of ten
Great chicken sandwich and service was very good. No happy hour in the restaurant, only available in the lounge. :(
Great food everytime and excellent service
Lovely hot meal .fish and chips very good.our waitress was very good .not to mention very cute.
Good place to eat. Very tasty and large portions.
We had a fairly simple supper of fish and chips. The service we received from Jolene was great - she was friendly and helpful. The food was hot and tasty. We will be back.
The best steak I have ever had, or as far as I can remember. Use to try to get a good steak at sawmill/Montanas/etc. This place has the most delicious medium rare 12 oz money can buy. The meal was 11/10 all in all. They even served complimentary chips with dip before the meal! The staff were very friendly and was a nice clean and warm ambiance of a restaurant to top. I will 100% be a returning customer, very happy I went there!
Stopped by and was pleasantly surprised. A lot nicer inside than it would seem. Great steak, and very nice server as well!
Best steaks in town. Best Ive had since I could remember. Came back for same 12 oz steak dinner, and was not let down in the slightest. The staff are excellent, offering service beyond expected. I will 100% be a returning customer. I eagerly look forward to trying their prime rib....now Im hungry writing this.
Great food! I ordered the beef short rib and it was fantastic, great service definitely would recommend
Shout out to Hannah and Nedie for amazing service. Shout out to Jess the owner/manager for running an amazing establishment with UNBELIEVABLE food and FANTASTIC service
Awesome service and great food!
We stopped in for dinner on Saturday night around 7pm on our way from Saskatoon to our hometown of Edmonton. We needed a table for 8 and they made it happen. Our server Henna, was amazing even though the place was packed. She never missed a beat. The food came out exceeding our expectations. They were sold out of a few of the items on the menu but it didnt matter to us as there were so many other items to choose from. We even spoke with Jess, the owner, to thank her and Henna for having a great restaurant with wonderful service and food. Will be back again!
Delicious comfort food, and my favorite soup ( broccoli and cheese ) was the discussion tonight.
So i get exatly how busy the proper can get but come on. 30 to 40 minutes of calling repeatedly to be shown that their line is busy a few times (so your obviously answering the thing) just to place an order for pickup. I really wanted the proper. So i go in. Just to be told my order no mattet what would be minimum an hour. And honestly ive gone in to sit an eat and got my food before i finished my pint. Are people ordering just not as important? Sure seems that way lately
Excellent staff, food,everything
First time here, got sat sooner than expected considering the line out the door. Great service, food and overall experience!!
Great food and excellent service!
Hands down the best steak in Lloydminster. Great, prompt service.
Great food and drink with some great prices!
Went out for a date night a couple weeks ago and we were very impressed. The food was great and arrived quickly. Our server Elisa was amazing! Definitely would recommend and will be returning.
This quickly became my favorite place to eat in lloydminster while staying there for business. A nice menu with a little bit of everything, reasonably priced with a nice atmosphere, great service and delicious food. The short rib was top notch and the same price I paid for a chicken burger at a franchised brew house down the street. I highly recommend this establishment and actually cant wait until the next time Im in town to try the chicken Neptune.
Enjoyment with friends
Stopped in for a coffee and a soup. Really pleased that the soup was made from scratch and not just thawed and heated or out of a can. The restaurant was clean and the server was very pleasant.
Great steak and service, very clean and professional staff. Followed Covid protocols to the letter. Made me safe to enjoy a meal in their establishment.
The best local restaurant in Lloydminster. The hosted my families wedding dinner, it was just 3 people in the party, we sat right away. Had the best meal of their lives, and they gave them the best and largest piece of red velvet cake.
Food and service is always excellent.
First time coming to this restaurant and had a great experience. We ordered the Teriyaki Noodle Bowl and Chicken Fried Chicken and they were great. I also ordered one of their drinks. Staff were absolutely professional! Will be coming back to this place!
Awesome as usual!
Pretty decent food. Coors light banquet should be a domestic beer though... Just sayin. Edit: during covid: kitchen closes at 8pm which is crazy early.
always the best food in this city
Our first time here. My steak was perfect. Will definitely be back!
We had the lunch menu steak,and it was very good . ( It could have used a side of mixed vegetables ).
Found a fun family restaurant in Lloyd. Wide variety menu initially comes off as suspicious but they nail execution on their dishes and the portions are enormous. I had the Mongolian wok with in house sweet-salty sauce and it did not disappoint. Kids chowed down with a generous size burger and in house dough made pizza. Overall solid prices, good food, and of course, terrific staff. Our first but not last time have a Proper meal in Lloyd.
Good food . Had a good time
Always a great meal.
Blackened chicken sandwich. Its like having a little angel in your mouth living it up.
Excellent service, excellent food. There was seven of us and we all ate appetizers and a main course. The bill was just under $200.00. Couldnt be happier about the dining experience
Been wanting to have the Saturday night Prime Rib Special for awhile now and let me say ... definitely worth the stop! Good portion size, cooked to perfection , great friendly service!
Probably the beat steak Ive ever had. Awesome service. Meal was a little pricey, but well worth it.
Familys favorite restaurant in town! Havent had a bad meal yet. Great menu with lots to choose from.
Great food every time and the staff is fantastic:)
Lovely place for a nice meal out. The food is always delicious here. The service is also very good; the wait staff are friendly and come around often, but not enough to be annoying. We had the dry ribs, blackened chicken and noodle bowl. It was all delicious! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a nicer restaurant without the extravagant price.
Amazing service and more then amazing food as usual
Was working in loyd and ate at the proper regularly the food was delicious and the staff was very friendly and helpful GREAT SERVICE GREAT FOOD The butter chicken was my go to food there
Cold beer. Bartender helped me with questions i had about Lloyd.
Forget the generic eateries... go for this one. Charming staff, clean environment, nice modern decor but best of all great freshly cooked food and well sized portions! And ... a great price too!
Good service, good food.
I loved dining at the Proper long before I was offered a position serving there. The food is phenomenal, the staff are awesome, and I am so excited about the new bellini machine! It was an easy YES for me. My favourite thing on the menu is the Philly Cheesesteak, hands down best beef dip Ive ever had. These 5 stars go out to all my coworkers and management as I get to see how much dedication and hard work goes into every day at the Proper.
I ve never been here until the other night. I wanted to support a family business instead of the big chains. My husband and I chose to come here based of the google reviews. Let me tell you, we will definitely be back! The portions are large didn t need the appetizer that for sure! Our waitress was super friendly, the restaurant was clean, pricing was good, food was prepared quickly. Judging it by the outside we weren t expecting it to be as fancy as it was. Can t wait to be come back! If your new to Lloyd or driving through you should stop by.
Great food and staff, I recommend it.
Nice and cold pints of beer ,very friendly staff
Renovated recently
Food was amzing
Great Mongolian beef!
Excellent service, friendly atmosphere, good food.
