Shark Club Calgary Deerfoot Meadows

Oh no, first try was a total failure. Bad service, mediocre food. But I might give them another chance sometime soon :)

Terrible service from the waitress. She was hitting on my husband and completely arrogant towards me and very full of herself. Not exactly an enjoyable lunch out. We should have just left and couldn’t believe what an idiot she was making of herself. Won’t be coming back again. The food was ok.

We went here because of the reviews and weren’t disappointed. Great food. The staff were all friendly and attentive. I was really impressed until I found out that the restaurant was associated with Moxies. Too bad. Unlikely that we’ll go back.
Yah, I know, it’s not rational but… I’m only a customer who’s disdain for Moxies is just that strong.

Visited here again yesterday. Once again food and service were great. Staff were very friendly. For the second time in two visits, a manager stopped by and asked how the food was — something that rarely happens in other restaurants and something which is nearly always a sign of a successful business. I continue to be impressed with this corporate sports bar franchise.

Came here again, big mistake. Place wasn’t that busy. We were a table of 3 on a Tuesday. Ordered burgers. The wait was 45min, waitress explained that there were large groups and we had to wait like everyone else. Never again.

For a sports bar, you can’t go wrong. Great food, attentive servers, and managers who make regular rounds to ensure everything is good. Frankly there is better service here than some higher end restaurants we frequent. Definitely a go-​to for bar fare.

So disappointed! I’ve been to the NE location and it is Fabulous! But this was my second time trying this location and it was a huge fail once again. The first time I got food poisoning, this time… Friday night March 6, the service was embarrassing. I had to pull tables together myself to fit my party, and felt rushed out the door because we were sitting on the dance floor. The staff was very rude, although my waitress was very nice it was impossible for her to undo the damage by door staff, bouncers taking our chairs away to open the dance floor. I suggest the NE location if you want the Shark Club experience:).

I had supper this evening at this Shark Club. I’ve been to the one in Toronto and liked it.
I ordered wings … half with Golden Shark sauce (apparently BBQ sauce with hot sauce) and half with honey garlic. The wings were good, though I liked the honey garlic ones better.
I found my server disinterested. I’d have to wait a long while for another drink and my bill. Even when she was talking to me, she wasn’t «present».
I wouldn’t go back to this location.

After shopping for furniture at the good ‘ol blue building (of the Swedish variety) we needed a place to have dinner. The Deerfoot Meadows area has a good selection of eats, except most close down at 7 or 8pm. My handy Unilocal Mobile app to the rescue…
This place has some pretty bleak reviews so I was reluctant. However, the stomach was calling and my wife and I were hangry so we decided to try it regardless.
As we entered we were immediately taken by the huge screen where they play sports. At the time the Flames were playing… yey! But they were losing… boo! Being a sports bar you find your own table. We found one just to the right of the bar. The atmosphere was quite alive for a Tuesday night. I’m sure they have a few travelers from the Sandman Hotel next door.
The serving staff was quite friendly and very attentive. They came by every few minutes it seemed and asked if we needed anything. Sometimes we’d see a different server asking if we needed help. That’s tag team service!
Because of allergies we alerted them before ordering, they were very careful to talk to the kitchen. The manager came out and even gave us his assurance we were safe with our selections.
When the food came out one of the chefs talked to us and let us know the food was safe for us to eat as well. That was re-​assuring for sure. For appetizers we had the deep friend mac & cheese balls… so good and perfect with the ketchup and saracha dipping sauce. We both had the shark burgers and the burgers were as good as you’d get a a Moxies or even an Earl’s.
The serving staff… well how do I put this nicely, all were easy on the eyes. It’s great to see a place that can dish up good service, good food at a decent price and not have to rely on the «atmosphere» if you know what I mean.
I’d definitely go back.

I’ve been here just the one time, but I’ll definitely be back. It’s really nice inside here and although I only had a salad the other food that was being ordered around me looked really good too. They have a good selection of beer on tap as well. The salad I had was fresh and tasty. You know how some times you order a salad and get those wilting pieces? I didn’t get those in mine.
I would recommend anyone coming here to get a seat on the second floor. You get a good view of all the televisions, and others things. The other things meaning the eye candy. I’m looking forward to my next visit here.

I’ve been there SO many times because it was close to home and I was disappointed every single time. Fool me once, shame on you… Fool me 72 times; I must be a masochist, or need psychiatric help.
I went a while back after boycotting «Shart» Club for over a year (for the poor service and badly cooked food)… and unfortunately they
confirmed that the service was still horrible!!! The food however was MUCH better this time so I will give them credit for that… but nothing else. I was there for literally 5 hours for a birthday and was asked if I needed a drink 2 times.
This was also the case for basically every one of the 22 guests at the bday. The waitress would dissappear for 45 minutes at a time to do God knows what? She was only «serving» our section. So we were forced to go to the bar to order drinks because we literally could not get service.
We even approached the manager to tell him the service was horrible and he «promised» to send additional staff over to help clean up and take orders… Nobody ever came and we did not see the manager again.
While ordering from the bar I was charged 3 different prices throughout the night for the same order, varying from $ 6 – 10. Not sure if the staff is poorly trained, or just trying to include a tip for themselves but either way that is a huge problem for me!
While sitting at the tables the empty glasses kept piling up because there were no bus staff working at all… But somehow there are 4 bouncers to reject people from their «elite establishment».
At the end of the night I paid my bill (after waiting 20 minutes) and hung around to chat with friends. Somehow I was then was asked to pay the bill 3 more times because the waitress didn’t remember me or something??? Just brutal!
I can’t even put it into words how bad the experience was. I will definitely NOT be back and have already posted a scathing review on my Facebook page and several other places and have told anyone who will listen not to go there. These guys could really stand to watch a few seasons of Bar Rescue and take some notes.

Food and service were good but overall unimpressed. Unless you like a room with a 100 tV’s all on the same channel that is unless the Super Bowl is on!

We stopped for gas and I eyed this place. I had a pretty good chicken sandwich and my friend really liked his burger, and we both enjoyed the fries, but we had to keep asking for napkins, mayonnaise, water, etc.
If you like scantily clad toppy women who are okay servers, then you’ll like this place. But I would hardly call this a Sports bar, maybe big screen bar or a big somethin’ else bar. We were very disappointed, especially for Canada, that they didn’t show one hockey score and we were going to a Flames game that night.

First time I went here I was a little curious about the layout. There are a bunch of circular booths for tables that look like the kind of place you’d sit at with a girl and hide some of your under the table antics, but as I strolled around I was greeted by more than one staff member with a friendly hello or how are you.
The large bar at the center of Shark Club is a great place to sit and watch one of the many tv’s with a beer or, check out the massive video screen in the NW corner playing the big game of the night.
I’ve gone more and more on wing night, Wednesdays, for a signature flavour, named after the bar itself. It’s a combination of hot sauce, BBQ sauce, and a mustard that has to be tasted to be understood.
This is a great place to unwind after work or catch a weekend game.

I was really surprised with this place. For a sports bar, the menu is interesting and the layout is nice and open. I came here with a colleague for a lunch meeting and requested a table where I could spread out with my laptop, iPad, etc. Took a booth upstairs and was happy that it wasn’t as noisy as I thought it might be. Free wi-​fi was definitely a bonus as we had some work to get done. There was even an outlet at our table (which would have been awesome had I remembered my power cord…).
Our server, Sarah, was awesome. She was attentive and kept the hot water and honey coming for me (bad cold that day!). I’m happy to report that even the appetizers come in really good portions, so no one will go hungry even if you only order a couple of items to pick at. The food was better than your average sports bar, that was a plus. With Ahi Tuna tacos and Four Cheese Poutine on the menu, it isn’t your average bar menu.
Shark Club — if I have to choose between you and Moxie’s next door, you will win each and every time!

17 foot tv screen, little TV’s everywhere, cleavage ditto
Food so so, had Thai green curry rice, huge veggie chunks meant a knife and fork required
Very salty, not spicy curry a bit of a disappointment, Service was great.

Meat market was the first thing we thought after sitting down. Large space, lots of TV’s good for watching «the game», but not from everywhere in there. Poor placement of some seating for views.
The food = HORRIFYING.
We ordered an appy that was essentially a wheat tortilla buttered in cream cheese, rolled and sliced into 8^th’s. Sick.
He had the Veggie burger with onion rings which he said tasted like it was bought from costco down the way.
She had the taco salad less meat. I can’t say too much about this other than the fact that for $ 14 you got 1 cup of brown romaine topped with 1 tbsp of canned corn, 1 tbsp of black beans, ¼ cup of pre-​shredded tex-​mex cheese and some hurting «taco» invention on the side. Disgusting.
He had two beers which he said were warm and flat. She had a double caesar (ordered spicy and came BLAND) and a double Gin & Tonic with some variety of «super sonic» like at Joeys, but had no taste and was meh for $ 10 per cocktail. The second service was totally forgotten and had to be ordered twice.
Left feeling ill, but ate as we hadn’t all day. Both still feeling sick to our stomachs hours later.
AVOID unless you’re going for sub-​par pub food and maybe to catch a game if you happen to be at ikea/​costco first.
Ick ick ick.
Being from Vancouver, I thought I would see what homage was paid. The Van locations aren’t that great but at least the food isn’t barf served luke warm, without utensils etc…

The resturant itself is quite nice, a total sports bar with a GIANT tv in it. The booths seats were comfortable however our tables was wicked sticky and the foot rest underneathe the table was wobbly. Every glass that was brought to the table for pop and water was kind of filmy not dirty but this weird film on it. The waitress was really friendly and attentive however as a female customer I don’t appreciate her boobs in my face. They were pouring out of her shirt. You can be sexy and classy and that was not it. The food was okay, it was kind of cold when we got it but still tasty. We had nachos, chicken fingers with sweet potatoe fries and antojitos. The waitress however didn’t know what aioli was when I asked for it and I had to explain it to her (FYI: they have it). The other waitresses that came by to help drop off food and bus the table were friendly, efficient and adequately dressed.
I found the food a bit expensive and I don’t think I will be back anytime soon.

Oh the burbs. It’s an entirely different life out yonder, I understand. Your choice of places to go is rather limited, and it’s a long trek to the inner city sometimes for a different flavour.
Though I may find burb choices rather cookie cutter, at the very least many of your options aren’t crap. Shark Club is one of those. I don’t see much difference between it, Earl’s, Moxie’s, Joey’s and every other restaurant of that kind except that it’s not a restaurant, but a club/​pub/​lounge type deal with scores of big screen TVs, a large patio up top and an area that turns into a dance floor by night. Otherwise, it’s a similar vibe, similar selection of food and drink, similar clientele and staff.
Bonus: Local beer on tap… as in a little WR Wraspberry. For that, if I could, I would give you an extra half star dear Shark Club. Thanks for bringing those pints of goodness to my friends in the burbs.

Great atmosphere.
Lots of TVs including one GIANT TV so this would be great also for a sports night!
The night I went there was a DJ playing music — old school fun things — I enjoyed it.
Apparently on the weekends they also have a DJ and a guess a bit more dancing with a dance floor… sometimes with guest DJ’s too.
Wed wings night $ 0.25 wings.
Service was good too.
picture the lounge at moxies but on a bigger scale and newer.
