Stockmen's Chophouse - Camrose

Went there for a birthday celebration with 9 people. First off the service was slow. Secondly the food was terrible. My mothers drink had no alcohol in it the first time, so we sent it back. Water glasses had to be asked to be refilled. Not one person in our entire group was satisfied with their entree. 2 people ordered what was supposed to be Salmon, however it was some sort of white fish, or it was the whitest salmon I've ever seen. The gnocchi with 1 of our guests dinners was raw and mushy. One dinner was supposed to have kim chi, but it was obviously swiss chard. My sister in laws chicken was so dry she couldnt eat it. Desert was also a let down, the cobbler had no taste and was watery. All in all they did give us %25 off and free dessert, however that does not make up for the lousy food and slow service. Complete disappointment and total waste of money.

I have been here many times and left several great reviews. Went here tonight for my husbands birthday. $200 for 5 people and were very disappointed with the food. The servers tried hard but were so short staffed. I only saw two for the whole restaurant. The buns were tasteless with some fruity butter which didn't help. Sent them back uneaten. The salmon Wellington on special was not available. The baked chicken burger, not available. The prime rib, not available. Two $38 steak meals, were so salty and with blue cheese on them that it ruined the steak. A few tiny potatoes and a couple firm veggies but that's it for $38. No salad. No soup. The stuffed chicken breast was white like it was boiled with white skin! Totally unappealing to look at and the stuffing was a tiny glob of goat cheese. The little half a baked potato with the strip loin was good but again just tiny. The steak sandwich was so tough you need to hack it to death. With three mushrooms! And the fries were bleh. We booked it as a birthday but no mention by staff, no free dessert or free drink. Just nothing but a big bill and a bad memory. The only thing good about tonight was the apple cider. Won't be back! And that's sad because we used to go a lot but nope, ball dropped.

What a lovely way to celebrate on a Tuesday. My husband and I came to Camrose and on a recommendation came to Stockman's Chophouse. Busy even on a Tuesday but that is to be expected when the food and service is this good. Warm buns with a speciality butter right of the hop to tide us over. We had the Chef's Caesar, delicious with enough garnish to serve as antipasto! Smoked devilled eggs and Oysters Rockefeller for starters and Duck Breast with bacon and wild mushroom risotto for me and a 12 ounce rib eye for hubby as entrees. We capped off the meal with Banana's Foster and Chocolate Panacotta for desert. Throughout the meal dishes and cutlery were quietly whisked away by the servers. What a special place !!! Congratulations Chef Jesse!

The food and presentation is uneven. I and friends ate here twice within one week and the experience was the same both times. Mother's day the food was delicious but the vegetables wre covered by mashed potatoes and the meat was piled on the very top. The meal was tasty but lacked colour and beauty.The following Friday it was a similar experience but with different people. The meal ordered was prime rib roast. Everything was once again piled up. Beginning with rutabaga or some other such vegetable covered with mashed potatoes topped with the meat (which was tough medium rare. This was topped by Yourkshire pudding and the entire meal poured with gravey. This must be the chef's signature presentation but I find it unattractive and not pleasing to the eye.

Regardless of your palette, you'll find something to suit it at Stockmen's. From burgers and fish & chips to phenomenal steak and seafood, the food is great and the service is fantastic. Locally sourced food but similarly priced to franchise restaurants such as Brown's Socialhouse, Canadian Brewhouse and Mr. Mike's; support our community by having a great meal at this locally owned beanery.
