The Beer Hunter - Spruce Grove

Very disappointing to see TBH nosedive. We typically order pickup, as delivery services take up to 25% from the restaurant. Our last order was a mess. Instructions on items not wanted were ignored, Asian noodle dish had no sauce, and who sends out poutine without gravy?? New cook? New mgmt? Not sure, but I'd use a delivery service. At least you can get credit for missing items. UPDATE: Of the last 5 orders, mistakes on ALL, including NO gravy for poutine?? THREE TIMES! Unless you're ordering in, DON'T! NO quality control at all here at all. What used to be the best fries in town, are now a box of undercooked potato slop.

My girlfriend and I were driving back home after a drive out towards Jasper, and wanted to grab a late dinner somewhere, we did a quick search for Spruce Grove restaurants, looked at a few reviews for a few places, and decided on Beer Hunter. The menu was pretty large, and had a good variety of dishes on offer. There were, of course, drink specials, including $5 shots of Jameson's, in addition to their selection of Craft, Import and Domestic beers. I decided on Prairie Fairie, by Edmonton's Sea Change Brewery, which I've had several times previously. It's delicious, if you haven't, consider trying it. I ordered a Canadian Hunter burger, which is topped with cheese, onion tanglers, bacon, back bacon, I requested it on texas toast and added caramelized onions, with donar poutine as a side, and it was one of the tastiest burgers I've had in a while. My girlfriend had their mac and cheese, which I sampled. The noodles were al dente, the sauce was flavourful, creamy and perfect consistency, and the cheese topping was portioned very well. Presentation was on point. Our server/bartender was very friendly, attentive, personable and clearly very good at their job. The prices are very fair, considering the portion sizes, overall quality, and the level of service. Both the front and back of house here are doing a hell of a job. We will definitely be back.

I've never had a server tell me that I was wrong when I told them the food they gave me wasn't what I ordered. And then to stop coming back to the table after that and having to go and ask for the bill because it was at least half an hour since we saw them. I don't even understand them taking offense to my request for what I ordered? Absolutely bonkers experience to have at a place I've been going to since it opened. I will 100% tell everyone to avoid going here from now on. And the Beer Hunter was my go-to place for wing Wednesday and I've always asked people to meetup there. Last time I ever go.

Was there last night. Food took forever. The server told us finally after an hour and twenty minutes that the food would be “three more minutes” . There was no apology. No manager sent over. Just that it would be “three more minutes”. When she brought the meals out. The one meal was brought out wrong. And mine was room temp warm. Within hours I was throwing up the chicken quasadillia. I’ll never go back here. Drinks are mediocre. Service is garbage . Food is garbage and gives you food poisoning. I’d leave zero stars if I could.

Got there at 12:30 on a Sunday we had a group of 12 but had called the day before to reserve a bigger table and asked if kids were allowed they said yes to both questions well when we got there they were not busy but we stood at door for 5 min with no acknowledgment then had to make our own table up there was not one ready. Our server took at least 15min to see us she only asked half the table what they wanted for drinks after they got their coffees then she asked my half which had the children what drinks we wanted and by the way was when she finally brought menus but forgot the kids menus my husband had to get those. Then took her another 15 min to come back for our orders then we literally waited 1.5 hours for our food to come again it was not busy in there at all. As she brought them out 2 plates at a time my husband waiting another 15 until his came last, now I have been a server,bartender,and floor manager for 15yrs and have handled a restaurant all by myself much bigger than that. Not sure if our server was new or just incompetent but we had a terrible first time experience the food was ok but not worth the wait. Oh and we also arrived with another group of friends of 5 they chose to sit at another table as there was not enough room and they had another server and got and ate their food before ours hit our table. I will not recommend this place nor be back
