Blowers And Grafton

Welcome to Blowers & Grafton of Calgary. Yes an east coast bar, but with authentic east coast food. An original Halifax style pub, where I was introduced to some amazing souls. Jenna, Matt, Ally, Victoria and, Charlotte, really what an amazing experience. If you have not yet and are in Calgary, this a the spot to check out. Even if your not from Calgary, and want some home loving food, check out this place.

I’ve been wanting to try this place out forever as they have lobster rolls on the menu! Although the lobster meat was good, it was only on the top of the sandwich and only veggies were inside the bread. The fish taco filling was delicious but the taco was very dry. The Donair pizza was not bad and the fresh donuts were very good. The restaurant is tiny and I think they are only able to accommodate 3 tables at a time. I did see a lot of people grab takeout though.

We did not want to give any of the food a chance to go soggy while en route via delivery or on the way home. So we ate in the car. The chowder was nice, but not sure we'd come back for that. Those mini lobster rolls though?!?! Bomb. And we recommend the chips on the side. Awesome service, will be back!

The restaurant is very small so reservations are required on popular nights. They have spaced out tables and added plexiglass for safety. Happy hour has good deals on some top notch food. I’m not usually a pepperoni fan but the Brothers Pepperoni was incredibly flavourful (comes in mild or hot) with a delicious mustard dipping sauce. The garlic cheese bread was as big as a pizza. I found it a little salty but still enjoyed it. The pizzas were delicious. The pepperoni being on the happy hour menu really makes it a steal. The fish and chips were top notch, very crispy and satisfying. Even the fries were excellent.

Come here and get the donair. Trust me. Picked up a couple of donairs on my way home as they were on special. Proper and sloppy. The donair meat was nice and tender and is complemented nicely with the BG donair sauce. The inside of the restaurant is very small and cozy, so it’s limited capacity. I was greeted by very friendly and smiling staff. Close to downtown, and a large array of item available on the menu. Reasonably priced, and a clean and welcoming atmosphere. Will return!
