Nightjar Diner Co. in Swift Current

Pretty good!

We had the steamed pork buns, pork rib eye, and a salad. We heard that the Chicken and waffle are a must have for next time.

This place was soooo goood!

The fried chicken sandwiches are 10/10

Great service great food

I would say there is a big difference between trying to be unique and good food, if they tried as hard as they do at being unique and modern, they could be way better. I had a burger and fries, it doesnt get simpler, and the burger had some excellent things, but such a sad gourmet tomato, plus the fries somehow were rubbery and tasted pickled.

Unique little diner with delicious food combos you may not find anywhere else. The tea and coffee werent great.

I was the only person in there when they opened on Saturday morning. The one staff member was very friendly and gave me recommendations when she realized I was a tourist passing through. The food was also delicious.

Amazing service and food at this little gem in Swift Current!!!

Not your regular meat & potatoes restaurant. Excellent combinations of ordinary foodstuffs done with imagination & presentation done with artistic intent. Love eating here. A wonderful place to celebrate special occasions.

Amazing seating, amazing customer service, and DELICIOUS FOOD!! Never fails to amaze me!!

Great local spot for an elevated meal. Friendly staff, good food, and great atmosphere. Not what youd expect in a small town. Vegetarian options: Limited vegetarian options, but the kitchen is willing to adapt dishes.

The food is excellent. Portion sizes are perfect. You leave feeling full but not over full. The staff is amazing.

Amazing place with a unique taste must try in swift current !!

Best restaurant in Swift, no question. Great food, great service, and good prices. Worth going out of your way to check it out!

Wow! I just had what will likely be the best meal I have this year. Meat and Potatoes was totally phenomenal. Dont be deceived by the folksy name. Steak and veggies in a very unique sauce and spice combo, with unique mashed potatoes. Filling, and wildly delicious.

Absolutely stellar breakfast sandwich

Everything was delicious, one of the best burgers I ve ever had!! Service was exceptional, both friendly and timely. So excited to come back.

Excellent meal and service. We had a party of 11, all were very happy.

The burger was delicious and the service was excellent. We will definitely come back!

Had the burger & Fries. $22 ! $6.75 for coffee! I received a black on the outside,raw on the inside,horrible excuse for a burger and fries. They try to dress it up with unneeded garbage that has no place being on a burger. We wont be back,now that weve experienced Nightjar. Dont waste your time. Original Joes is just a few blocks away. Twice the Value and Flavour.Doubt theyll be open after Summer 2024. Move quick if you wanna take your chances! A small business well no longer support. Sorry.

We waited long for our orders to be taken. They offered us free appetizers which we really appreciate. Food was great!

How could you give anything less to the Nightjar?!!! My wife and I will drive 2.5 hours from Medicine Hat just to eat here. Big-city ambience and quality, small-town prices. Do not leave without having one of their killer cocktails. Parking: Street parking or the lot across the street will do.

Great cuisine and service! Excited to come back soon! Wheelchair accessibility: Super easy access!!! Dietary restrictions accommodated Not sure

this place is so good that it made up for the five hours of boredom driving from calgary. fast and attentive service and such good food. such a great gem and a must stop if you re passing through !

Just...WOW. Had an amazing meal tonight, a little meal of pickles, pork and beans and tofu and cinnamon toast... This menu selection was incredible! Thanks to Shawn and his team for an amazing evening

We stopped in here for lunch with my kids on the way through . Food was amazing and service was great. 10/10

I had a chicken steam bun appetizer, which was to die for tender and just full of flavour. For dinner I had the chicken pot pie. This was just a wonderful culinary experience. All of the food was so flavourful and so well presented. The wine was a House Cabernet and my husband had a craft beer coupled with the roasted tomato soup appetizer, and the chicken pot pie, we would definitely come again we were from out of town and we heard about the restaurant from our friends in Calgary who were passing through Swift Current and spending the night. It s well worth the money fine dining and fabulous food.

Delicious food! Between my partner, myself and our three childs, we had the Korean fried chicken sammy, a burger, two BLTs and a soup. The sides were excellent, the waitress was able to give a clear breakdown of gluten-free options and what cant be substituted, friendly, polite and efficient, plus its in a very central location with lots of free parking. Will DEFINITELY go back and would highly recommend it to anyone from in or out of town!

My favorite restaurant in Sakatchewan. Fresh. Local. Seasonal. Creative.

Excellent food. Nice higher end dining , in a small city. Price was ok. A must stop for the traveling foodie, or nice quiet place for meeting friends.

If ever there was a reason to stop in Swift Current, the food here is one of those reasons.

It was such a cool place. Very unique and nice to know that the foods are coming from local places.

What a gem !! Really enjoyed eating here, such a varied menu of tasty and unique foods. Generous servings. Excellent caesar salad, mac and cheese, steam buns, beef brisket. Loved our server, Meghan, who was very helpful and friendly. This is a great place to dine in Swift Current. Thank you !

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing! Food was great, service was excellent. If you are visiting swift current this is where tp go! So happy our team picked this place to refuel after our 50k race. Thank you to all on the Nightjar Team for supporting Team Canada and all the other NACAC athletes at the mountain and trail running championships!

A must-stop experience. Amazing food & variety, craft beers, and plates (yes, plates). It gets busy at lunch so be prepared for a wait, tho.

Stopped in for lunch while visiting Swift Current. Great service and atmosphere. Highly recommend the pork steam buns.

The food is excellent. Enjoyed the chicken and waffles dish! Very unique and tasty.

Always stellar. A real jewel in Swift Current

Quiet Tuesday night in winter. Attentive service. Nice dessert. Very good burger but the white tomato soup starter was devine.

We went for the Valentine s special menu, and the food was delicious! Honestly, the carrots may have stole the show!

One word - WOW! Service was very nice and super friendly. Will definitely be back next time in Swift Current.

Thank you for a delicious meal! The burger and the chicken sandwich were both excellent. Also, thanks for the super strangely serendipitous meeting. Its not every day that we Calgary travellers stop at a random diner and unexpectedly run into not one, but two people we know! Clearly Nightjar is a mecca for good people!

This is a very fun little place to eat or go out for drinks! It is quality food and service. I just find the portions (food and drink) to be VERY small for the expensive price. You will receive quality but for a price. The people are very kind and accommodating. Great service!

Dang fine meal. Damn good if you read it that way. Wonderful twist on the traditional. Great portions (I m a big man) and really good flavours.

Derek catered a 7 course meal at our home in Swift Current and it was beyond amazing! I love how he sources meat etc. from local farmers. Truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish and he also left our kitchen sparkling clean!

During my 3rd visit to Nightjar, six of us all had excellent meals. The standout seemed to be the ribs, but everyone enjoyed their food. Myself, I had the chicken and waffles and it was delicious. The flavours were well done. Often chicken and waffles can be overly sweet, but that was not the case with this dish; it was balanced. My only (very small) change request is that Id prefer to see the waffles more crispy, but they were not soggy and I just like crispy waffles. The beverages were also crafted well and enjoyed by everyone at the table. I had the Spaghetti Western and enjoyed it. It tastes like a take on an Amaretto Sour with the addition of Peychauds and uses honey instead of syrup. It was nice to see egg whites used well (good froth, nice balance, again) and Peychauds is a perfect choice for the drink (IMO, Peychauds can overpower a drink if not used cautiously). If you appreciate adult beverages, Nightjar never disappoints. Overall, our Nightjar visit was a great experience.

cool spot for sure. nice, chill vibe. service was great and food was too end. stopped in on a calgary-regina drive and I had brisket sandwich and it was AMAZING. worth stopping for sure.

Great meal

Delicious food! The diner pie was to die for. Service was great as well.

Good service. Politely communicative about their ingredients, which helped my friend get a dish that met her needs. We all ended up with delicious plates.

What a great place. This is the most memorable meal we ve had in a long time. The home made pickles were delicious, the steam bun was awesome. We were lucky enough to stop in on a Wednesday which happens to be the only day they serve the Thorndog, a corn dog like no other. Will be back again. Thanks! Parking: Street parking was available very close to the door.

Delicious food! Full of perfectly paired flavours. Loved the ginger beer. Fast, friendly and knowledgeable service. Would definitely go again. Parking: Easy to park on street in front. Kid-friendliness: Great kid menu options

Great Pork Ribeye, and desserts. Good selection of craft beers also.

Great service, with a unique dining experience for small city in Saskatchewan.

Such great service, unique menu and interesting drinks!

5star. Came here with friends and shared a few plates. The flavours of every dish were incredible. The ribs were my favourite, they melted like butter and the bbq sauce was heavenly.

Cute restaurant with great food and friendly staff! Their burger was awesome!

Wonderful modern food and friendly staff! I highly recommend checking out this gem!

A truly awesome experience, and not an expected one in Swift Current! If youre driving by, or just a local, its a must do! The menu is very good, and they have rotating lunch specials that comes with a soup and salad. It changes on a weekly basis, so one can expect some variety with the locally sourced ingredients. We had the bruschetta and hummus tartine sandwich, and it made for a great pairing! Tasted amazing. The soup and salad that came with the dish also paired quite well. There are other consistent options on the menu (like a Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich) which look great, and they use a potato roll instead, which looks extremely delicious! The interior of the restaurant is very cool, and feels relaxed and comfortable (like youd expect at a diner) but also very sharp and clean at the same time. Worst part about the restaurant is that its located far away from me! Will absolutely come back if Im ever in the area, as the daily specials look to be very good as well! While the menu does not indicate any halal meat, I believe it is good option for people looking for a sit-down experience given the great vegetarian options.

The pork belly sandwich is insanely good! The soba noodle salad is also very good and they have some great microbrewery beers as well!

Best dine in experience Ive had in a long time and food was mind blowing good

Our only disappointment was that we weren t in Swift Current for another night so we could come and try more dishes at Night Jar. Everything was fantastic and the staff was lovely - cannot recommend enough and would pass through town again just to eat here!

Visited for the first time when I was visiting Swift Current. Ordered the Korean fried chicken sandwich and it was amazing. Get their drunken fries - yum! I highly recommended this place if you find yourself in Swift Current.

What a lovely experience! The food was fantastic. We had the pork belly buns, the daily special and the chicken and waffles. Everything was well presented and tasted fresh and flavourful. The service was amazing and friendly. Well done! We will be back!

We found our way to this local gem on a referral and what a fantastic experience! We both got the burger and I can tell you it was the BEST I ve ever had, bar none! Everything was great, including the service. Meghan, you are lovely and a wonderful server/hostess. Thanks to you and the chef/owner for such a great afternoon. We will be back (from Saskatoon).

best dining and cocktails in Swift Current. you can tell the owner and staff put their heart and soul into each dish and drink. #1 date spot in Speedy Creek, hands down.

Amazing Fine Dining in Speedy Creek. DATE NIGHT WINNER!

Derek made an amazing meal for an at home anniversary party and it was spectacular. He was very professional and accommodating. The pumpkin soup was superb!!! Highly recommend them.

Best food in town!

Delicious burger and chips oozing with flavour. You can taste the passion and care in every bite. The pantry board was fantastic as well. The pickled vegetables were spectacular. The atmosphere was comfortable, relaxing and friendly. A calm place were you can enjoy great food and conversation without having to talk over loud music or televisions.

The frog legs are rather mild, but the steamed buns, drunken fries, sandwiches (on the most wonderful homebaked breads), soups, and breakfasts are outstanding! And thats taking nothing away from a deceptively well stocked bar, filling suppers (Im trying Saskatchewan lol), and warm yet upscale atmosphere. Go. Go now!

If this place was in any other city, it would have a waiting list months long. I m serious. The food is out of this world gourmet. Beautiful presentation, friendly staff and did I mention the food?! If you are driving through Swift you must stop.

I love Nightjar! They have the BEST cocktail menu in the country. The food is always fantastic and different than anywhere else in town. Great, friendly service. The lunch prices are quite low, around $14. Supper entrees can be a bit more expensive than other restaurants in town, but then I think it is worth it as the food ingredients are usually more expensive than your typical pork cutlet or something. And although there are higher end choices, if you are dining out on a budget, I think you could get a meal for under $20.

Great service and fabulous food. In swift for a work trip and we went to Nightjar after having a coworker recommend it, we had the steam buns for an appy then I had the charred vegetable ravioli and everything was wonderful. Prices were great too!

Great little place in the heart of Swift Current. One of best parts was the waiter, fantastic service, food was unique and reasonable priced. Q water purchases are donated back to charity providing clean water for communities in need.

Great for quick lunch!

Having eaten here many, many times since they ve opened I have never had anything but an amazing meal. Their all-day breakfasts change frequently as do their lunch features and it is always something unique and very delicious.

Food was so creative and executed so well. Knowing that even their breads are baked in house... awesome. The service from Chris made our visit so enjoyable.

Its good and its kinda different.

Nightjar Diner Co. exhibits fine-dining modesty on another level, as the complexity of the menu is shadowed by the minimalism that drives its themes. Possessing the look and feel of your everyday diner, it becomes so much more than clever postcards and choice aesthetic when you experience how good the food is. A pillowy comfort can be felt while feasting on the steamed bun appetizer, which on a personal level was something I really needed the day I visited. The level of quality was [ to me, a mere tourist, ] indistinguishable from an authentic market variety you may encounter in the depths of Montreal, if not a very precise example. The inconspicuousness of the elliptical dough is a fitting metaphor for the style and substance Nightjar Diner has the right to boast. The flavors of my fish sandwich unearthed a deeply-rooted memory of New Orleans, quelling my despair of leaving a now inferior sandwich behind. From the buttery crisp of the bread to the assortment of textures and tastes that existed within that bread, what would otherwise be referred to as Poboy was a slam dunk into the dipping sauce that was consumed in entirety. An acknowledgement of balance is deserved for a true through-composed inclusion of ingredients, and a sensation that will be remembered. What is beyond the food is the unique iteration of style adorning the walls, which beg you to take a second look past their bizarre and yet familiar first impressions. The comforting atmosphere is brought on through the curated playlist, an inventive list of hand-crafted beverages, the knowledge and skill of the staff, and the care the owners take in their work. It can be observed that no element of this establishment is without consideration, and would be missed by anyone making a trip across Canada. A visit to Nightjar Diner Co. Guarantees an excellent meal and a place to stop by on your next visit. Incredible.

Terrible. Maybe it was just our night, we ordered a variety of dishes and none of them looked anything like the pictures - less than half of what is shown, at the most... The quality was decent - 5/10. Service was worse unfortunately. Maybe its due to COVID but this food service is not worth the price at all.

Great food and staff. Tables spaced out very good. The trout was delicious.

I would give this place 10 stars if I could! They went above an beyond and even made a custom vegetarian main for me. The service was amazing and the food to die for. Very accommodating, great ambience and awesome service. Will definitely go back again.

My husband and I were visiting friends and went to night jar for dinner. This place will hands down change your life. There were a few tears shed because the food was so good. Nightjar will forever be our benchmark for good food. Unfortunately our friends have moved back home, but were always looking for excuses to make the 6 hour drive there. How theyre not on Canadas Top 100 Restaurants is beyond me.

Delicious! I told myself I wouldnt get the breakfast (again) but it was too enticing to pass up. Id say the waiter was as delightful as the food but the food was just too good Ha!

Incredible food. Conceptually impeccable. Casual eats and fine-dining had a lovechild and named it Nightjar Diner Co. Quality ingredients, sourced as locally as possible and dishes built from scratch. Amazing handcrafted cocktails. They do impressive private catering and special event services. Seasonally rotating menu means new choices. They value the guest experience so highly, and present food that nurtures your soul. Thank you, Nightjar. Dont think about it. Just go.

Great vibe, great drinks, amazing food.

Fantastic food. Not fast but terrific flavours and good beer.

Always an amazing dining experience. Best restaurant in Swift Current!

Bad service, bad food, cutlery didn t match

Bad service. Everyones plate came out at different times. Didnt ask for drink refills. Food was very mediocre for the price. Drink portions are tiny for how expensive they are.

Finally a very unique restaurant in Swift Current! An experience you remember. Food and drinks are fancy/different. Portions aren t grotesque in size. Food is served on retro china. Shaun made me a custom dessert due to my lactose allergy, it was amazing! Support local business and give it a try :)

Refreshing welcome to the restaurant scene in Swift Current. The menu is served on a variety of old China patterns. Nice touch along with the jars to drink out of. Great service. Great food. My burger was a welcome twist on an old standard. Homemade bacon jam, Wow, and a variety of homemade pickles to try. It s a must experience! Congratulations on your opening.

This is a great place to have in Swift! Unique food that tastes great. I love the eclectic collection of dinnerware and the inside of the restaurant is very nicely done. Our waitress and the owner answered all of our questions about the menu and were incredibly attentive. Great service! I had the all day breakfast and it was phenomenal! The people I went with loved the burger. The fries were really good - shoestring style. You have to try the pickled watermelon rind - so good! The smore dessert and diner pie for dessert were really delicious. Ignore the bad reviews. People complaining about cutlery not matching is ridiculous. Support a new local business and have a fantastic meal at Nightjar!

Great food!

Great unique food! All of us loved it.

Wonderful evening! Great food, nice atmosphere! I ll come again!

Really enjoyed my experience! Got to try things I ve never tried before - the pickled watermelon was really interesting. I got the prairie bowl and it was delicious! Wonderful atmosphere and great service. So cool to see something like this in Swift Current!

Amazing food! Amazing Service! Loved the unique flatware. It was Cozy, Classy, and I cant wait to try everything else after that delicious burger

Wow. Great quality food, excellent atmosphere, and friendly service. I wouldnt try the barking antelope and they should have wine glasses.

Food was great. Different change of pace for Swift Current. Service was good also. Definitely recommend!

Maybe we hit a bad day. Went for lunch. 2 burgers 2 fries. Drank water. 46 dollars. Portions are kids menu sizes. Fries like eating small rocks. Expected more from all the hype. I ll try it once more but they really need to step it up. Not even a picture on the wall. 5 star prices with 2 star food.

Wow! What a great experience. Staff were lovely. Chefs took pride in their work and delivered beautiful meals. Price was very reasonable for a special night out. I love the forever changing menu based on what is available or in season. They also are concious of the environmental impact that the industry can have and have taken basic steps to do their part. LOVE IT. Will definitely be back to see the new menu items!! Ps: SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT AND DO TRY THE PICKLE PLATE.

This is exactly what Swift Current needed, no more driving hours out of town to go to a fine dining establishment. Perfect location down town, unique but not intimidating menu with very fair prices for such great food. The menu has something for everyone and has many options for dietary restrictions and preferences such as vegetarian options. The menu also features many local stores ingredients and products so you know where your ingredients are coming from. The drink menu is perfect with tons of options and is the perfect place to go and chill with friends for an evening. The lighting and atmosphere make it a warm and welcoming place, it is definitely one of my favourite restaurants Swift Current has to offer and I would recommend it to anyone.

The food was good but the place could use some work. Service was mediocre, drinks left empty for a while, and items forgetting to be brought to the table after requested when it wasnt busy. Ambience could defintley be improved as the walls are totally blank. A good place for Swift Current but still needs some improvements.

Great place to eat. Swift Current has needed a place like this. Food was excellent. Loved the fried pie.

Shady people that own that place

Had a great lunch here a few weeks ago. Food was better than I expected - gourmet but not anything too unfamiliar. Great meal for the price (lunch soup and sandwich was $11). Portions definitely aren t huge so if you base a restaurant solely on that, like many do, you may leave disappointed.

Fantastic! Interesting and delicious food! Friendly staff too!

Small menu, but dont be fooled. The food and drink are exceptional. Swift Currents most savory eating establishment.

Enjoyed the Evening!

The food is always great. A lot of things are made from scratch and locally sourced which is so nice to see. Service is great as well. Lots of great options. I hope this place stays around for a while. It s my favorite restaurant in swift current.

Delicious food and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. It was busy but it was a good busy.

Fried chicken bay is so good. Everything is good

awesome place great service it took a long time for the server to come take our orders and also the menu is totally from mars.... just saying if you wang something you dont understand look at there menu...... it is confusing .js. food was awesome but very pricey for your portions. fies were cold .

Interesting menu. I like the burger. Small but great taste.

Incredible dining! The food was delightful and surprising- I was passing through Swift Current on business we had the opportunity to eat at Nightjar. I loved the attention to detail paid throughout the meal. Service was impeccable and the flavor combinations were both delicious and unique. In addition to being a well-conceived and very tasty these folks pay attention to their sourcing and supporting other small businesses in the area. I spend most of my life in Portland which has incredible food- this place surpassed some of the better meals I had there. Please try it out if you have the opportunity.

Finally something new in Swift Current. Nightjar has that classic diner feel with a modern twist to it. Best description I can give is elevated diner food which does not do it justice. With things like quail, pork chops and a handmade burger on the menu it takes those classics and makes them great. The service was okay, nothing special but not bad. Its a bit pricey for the area, but it is fabulous and worth the extra cost. Would highly recommend.

Unique food and drink. Bit on the pricey side, and the servings arent large.

It had great service, and fantastic food!!

Excellent service, even better food! We had the burger and everything about it was absolutely amazing. The place is beautifully designed. We re so glad we found this place on our way across Canada! Highly recommended.

This is a nice little restaurant. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. The food is quite tasty

Best food Swift Current has to offer!! Food and staff are at the highest quality!!

Incredible dining experience

What a treat to find SUCH excellent food and drinks in Swift Current! Elevated yet approachable; everything on the menu is done well.

Amazing place to eat! Great survive! Would go again!

Wonderful! Nightjar rivals the casual eateries in Toronto and Ottawas hipster neighborhoods. The flavours are very good and the price is on point. We had a charcuterie board and salads that satisfied, while we drooled over the passing plates of upscale casual ribs and burgers. Wow! Swift current, you have a little gem here.

Top notch. They really considered the details on every food and drink item to make them just right. On top of all that, we had the best service weve seen in the city. Definitely worthwhile.

Great food, great atmosphere, and great service! The chicken steam buns are to die for!

Delicious avocado -infused gin cocktail! Dinner was delicious and service was impeccable. Great little restaurant. A must try!

Loved the menu. My favourite was the homemade Ginge-Beer, Steamed bun, and the China was to die for. What an incredible idea to take old Chinaware and put it to work. Awesome job guys well done.

Fresh and tasty food in unique local restaurant. Busy when we were there so service was not fast but worth the wait.Limited menu

Amazing! One of the top restaurants in the province.

What an inventive and carefully designed menu! Try the specialty cocktail! You wont be disappointed. So happy Swift Current has an establishment on this level. Bravo!

Hands down the best dining experience Swift Current has to offer.

The food and service was excellent!!

Incredible menu, its a must stop in Swift Current

Delicious food, awesome atmosphere and amazing owners! Recommend to anyone looking for something new to try!

Great food. Was there with a group of friends. And it exceeded my expectations!!!!

Delicious and inventive food! A HUGE step up from what is on offer in most places in town. Our service was prompt, friendly, and attentive while still leaving time for us to have our own conversation. They triple filter the water to get out most of the funky taste of the local water, which is appreciated. There is a dollar charge for water, but I was happy to pay it as they donate that money to a water charity. The space is tastefully decorated with art, and the lighting is quite pleasant. I was so happy to not see any TV sets! Overall, this was the best meal I ve had out in Swift Current. Please go there and support it so that I can go again when I visit my in-laws next time!

Food was absolutely mesmerizing. From appearance to taste it was wonderful. Service was very friendly and personal.

Ive eaten here a few times now and have had an incredible eating experience every time! The food is second to none for Swift Current (in actuality, it rivals eateries far beyond). The service is flawless, and the house-made cocktails are an absolute delight! I tried The Healy (Healey? *sorry if Ive misspelled ) tonight, and, if you enjoy whiskey, this is a must-have! Keep it up, Nightjar!

We have eaten here a couple of times. Both times the food and service was amazing. I highly recommend!

Interesting and tasty as always! Super friendly service to boot. We had the all day breakfast this time - a smoked steak Benedict with really great Hollandaise and the warm potato salad.

Excellent meal and excellent service.

Three words: All day breakfast! So many awesome menu items, and the staff here are fantastic.

Lunch was excellent! The Curried Cauliflower soup was delicious!

We were in Swift Current and decided to try Nightjar. It was the BEST lunch we have had in ages! We both had the $11 lunch special - smoked striploin on homemade sourdough with a curry soup and salad. Absolute perfection!! Very much enjoyed our lunch and exemplary service and we will be back the next time we are in town!
