Cactus Club Cafe

The food is always fantastic, as well as the staff. My sister and I go here and have the teriyaki rice bowl, it’s never been anything short of delicious!
We did have a waitress one night who forgot about our appy, and was not apologetic at all. But everyone has off nights right?! Highly recommended!!!

Came by here due to a nice review on Unilocal and we have to agree it was super. Great ambiance, not too noisy. The butternut squash ravioli with prawns was sublime. The salmon was amazing as well. And the CAN 4 Udder beers at happy hour were great as well! Big thumbs up here!

Just had the braised short rib with snap peas… fantastic! The short rib you could cut with your fork and the snap peas were awesomely seasoned :) I will be back

Awesome food, staff and environment. I had the chicken burger and it was pretty good. If you are looking for a place for a date or you are in town for business I highly suggest this place.

This a a nice restaurant in the Calgary airport area. Good steaks but I really like the ravioli with butternut squash and prawns.
The staff here is really good and they have a excellent selection of craft beers and mixed drinks

Easily the most consistent dining experience in town. Very rarely ever varies… food is always top notch, servers are excellent. I can never pass up the beef carpaccio or the butternut squash ravioli… great every time. My only complaint would be that it gets really busy and it’s tough to get a seat around lunchtime. Word gets around pretty fast, so I don’t expect the crowds to go down anytime soon. Great job, Cactus… highly recommend it.

I have been to Cactus Club many times and keep going back because of great food and experience. It is my favourite casual restaurant chain.
Most recently I came here with family on a Thursday night and we were seated quickly. Our server was very nice and personable and was so patient while my family contemplated menu choices.
We had a variety of drinks (the cohiba is always my favourite) and we enjoyed a few appetizers. The Rob’s flatbread was recommended by our server and it did not disappoint. As a meal I enjoyed the Shortrib which was flavourful. However, not better than the Thai Lingcod which has remained my favourite dinner entrée there. All of the food came out great except for one dish which was cold. Our server took it back to the kitchen with no hesitation, apologized got a new one. Dessert was the peanut butter crunch bar which is a must have!
Our family had a great night out and appreciated the great food and service at Cactus Club. I will keep going back and keep recommending it to everyone!

Great atmosphere and service. Order the Tuna Tataki and the Rocket Salad. Both were over loaded with dressing but good other than that.

This is like any other place like moxie or earls. Their Creole steak was awesome… Atmosphere is great, cozy and loud. I suggest this place to pilots i deal with on a daily bases.

Wow, wow, wow! Service, atmosphere, food… all 5 Stars. Can’t say enough about how amazing my experience was! I shamelessly took a bite of everyone’s food and tried the calamari, Rob’s flat bread, a burger, and the butternut squash ravioli with prawns. Everything was frikin delicious! I mean, above and beyond delicious. I highly recommend this venue.

I am usually very skeptical about chain restaurants. Decided, however, to give this one a try based on reviews. We tried one of the other locations for dinner, but were told there would be a two-​hour wait! We tried this location for lunch the next weekend, and it was easy to get a table. I was more than impressed with the food! We tried the tuna stack which was simply awesome. I would go so far as to say, it was one of the best appetizer dishes I have had in a long long time. The Thai Lingcod was very good as well.
If it were not for their silly reservations policy, I would give it 5 stars. Apparently, they keep only a few tables that can be reserved, while most tables are for walk-​in customers. This results in a severe increase in the wait times.

Wanted to say a quick kudos to our new server Ashleigh she was wonderful thank you for looking after us!

Best happy hour in all of Canada. Great drink specials and a nice atmosphere for after work. I had the best sandwich I’ve ever had in my life. It was bbq duck with chicken and bacon and it was incredible. It’s a must try. If you are flying in or out of Calgary this place is a must.

Yearning for a good burger at a place that has been a consistent winner in previous visits to the BC area and close enough to YYC, I decided to stop by this location and ended up ordering the Feenie Burger for my very first time which is a popular item based on just one of the many dishes that is on the CCC menu from the former Iron Chef 2005 winner. Being a yank from the states, I tend to forget that in Canada all burgers are cooked well done (thank you Mad Cow disease) and it’s always a gamble whether the finished product will come out dry as I normally order my burgers medium rare. I must say, that in my many trips to Canada, this has never been the case when ordering a burger and CCC was no exception.
My burger was very juicy and the various condiments spot on (minus the bacon which I requested that it not be part of my order). Service was great however, I arrived after the lunch rush and sat in the lounge area at one of the many high top tables. Menu was typical of other CCC locations and perhaps it would be nice if they changed up some entrees every so often.
Although this location does not have the Coal Harbour, BC view and vibe of that area, I liked the fact that it is very close to YYC given the fact that the airport is still going through their major construction project.

The place for lunch in Calgary near the airport! The duck club sandwich with duck bacon, breast, and Hoisin Sauce on raisin/​walnut bread with yam fries knocks it out of the park! About as trendy as it gets in Calgary for lunch. Don’t miss it, 3 locations.

I really like this particular location. Staff are always so friendly and accommodating. My friend and I ordered the teriyaki chicken bowl and quinoa salad to share, and without us even asking they split up the meal in separate dishes for us! How nice of them!!! For the consideration alone I give them 5 stars. Both items we ordered ordered were awesome. Not too heavy, lots of fresh vegetables. The spicy yogurt in the teriyaki dish was delicious. I recommend this location for quality food and service.

Friendly staff, great food, and the place is jamming on a Monday night. Professional from the walk in to the check. Great shopping experience.
Trendy modern atmosphere.

We had a quick trip to Calgary that included three dinners, two of them were here.
(I think that says it all)
…I mean there is more to say, but then I’d be rambling. Like the time we…

Hands down the best food /​execution of all the Canadian «breastaurants» (Joey’s, Earls, Chop, Moxie’s, etc.) It’s a busy place, service is slow, but if you’re looking for a good meal in the area, you’ll do pretty well here.
Calamari is well-​executed with a solid portion and a few sauces. Flat bread… I think they forgot the «flat» part, as the crust was ~3cm thick… skip it. Main-​courses were excellent; presentation and execution were pretty flawless. I went 9oz sirloin, and without a doubt it was the best cooked steak I’ve had in the country. I typically like my steak naked, but the cajun seasoning they use actually works well.
What I can’t figure out is the name. It’s not Mexican, it’s not a club, and it’s definitely not a café. Don’t let the name fool you… the menu is designed by an Iron Chef, and the chefs seem to be trained that way as well. Stop in if you’re in the area.

I’ve been here a million times and i love the experience everytime i come in here.
The food’s amazing.
Appetizers i love the Calamari.
My personal favourite entre is the Jambalaya.
For desserts i love chocolate lava cake.
Wine pairings are always amazing.
Kudos.
