This place is awesome! I’ve been here 4 times during my 3 weeks in Calgary. I tried crabs, lobster roll, scallops - all delicious. Happy hour oysters are super fresh! Staff is very friendly! If you are in Calgary, you should check this place :)
The best friendly service staff we have ever experienced in Calgary. The service is among the best we have ever experienced including our international travels. The menu pricing is in my opinion very affordable for an amazing quality and flavour sea food. Rest assured, just because you can't see the ocean from here, this is some of the best seafood we have had the pleasure to enjoy including east and west coasts. There is no pretentious atmosphere here, just friendly down to earth staff.
I have always been a fan of Rodney's, when I go to Vancouver it is always my first stop, love the Yaletown location there.
I end up here once or twice a month for some oysters and wine and a great relax.
The oysters here are amazing. The sauces that are presented are the best anywhere, such a great selection. The staff are knowledgable about each and every oyster selection, I have always been a fan of East Coast. Malpeque is one I always have a few of.
Go you will not be disappointed. There are a lot of choices of seafood for those who do not like oysters

I'm not exaggerating when I say that this restaurant is one of the best I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing.
My husband brought me here for a date. Immediately, we were seated and enjoyed impeccable service throughout the night. Despite training two new hires, our server Jay never failed to make himself available.
We split the white plate special appetizer of pork belly and scallops, which was phenomenal. My husband had the land and sea white plate special while I had the 1.5lbs lobster. Both were beautifully plated and tasted superb. The scallops were cooked to perfection. The sauces on both the appetizer and my husband's main were sweet and savory, and paired perfectly.
I recommend this place to anyone and everyone. It is easily one of the best restaurants in the city, seafood or otherwise. We will absolutely return; this is our new date night favorite.
We managed to get in without a reservation on a Saturday evening. Service was prompt. We started with the Scallop ceviche which was refreshing and superb as well as the the tuna tartare. The deep fried soft shell crab wasn't anything special but was good. We tried 6 different oysters (all east coast)- all amazing. The server suggested one off the menu "raspberry", one of the best tasting. The shrimp and scallop pasta was almost amazing- the scallops and shrimp were cooked so nicely and the pasta wasn't so heavy- it was just right. Keep in mind this was our first time here and I have nothing bad to say- great, fresh seafood and good service. If I lived in Calgary- I would come here again and again!
This place is aweaome! We ordered their fish & chips which was crispy and not greasy, the fries were so good we ate all the fries, which normally some fries always gets left behind. The coleslaw however needs more work, it's not ceramy and lacked flavor. The crab cakes were delicious! Not to dry but could use a little more sauce due to the size of the crab cake, they use 3oz of pure dungeonless crab meat with no breading inside to bind it. So its quite big and filling. The apple slaw served on top gives a great texture of crunch and slight sweetness to compansate the slight heat you get from the sauce served with the crab cake. Their Scallops were superb! Cooked just right not over done and served with broccolini and i think swiss chard? Almost gives a slight southern feel. Their raw oysters were awesome! Served on a tray of crushed ice and fresh horseradish and lemon wedges. They serve with their in house made sauces, which goes from mild to hot. They also have a vodka infused with peppercorns and citrus peels sauce for a slight punch to your oysters. The server Cedric (hope i spelled ot right) was amazing funny and entertained us with him showing how to shuck an oyster and educated us on differences of the origins of oysters served. He was a great waiter and a memorable one. This is a must try. Well worth it.

Delicious seafood! We had Great service. Found our new favourite place!We will be coming back! Fantastic menu of options!! Fresh and great presentation'
The Toronto location spoiled me with great pricing (which was a little high, but heck that's Toronto) and awesome selection. When this location opened up we rushed to come try here,thinking speciality of oysters would mean the end of everyone else in town trying to compete.
Instead they are higher priced, and the caliber is so/so. Their chowder is not memorable. Don't know if I'd come back. Sigh.
I thought the food was great. It was a stand up event for their 2nd bday so food was being served all over the place along with different drink stations. Food creations included fresh shucked oysters, smoked salmon, candies salmon, tuna on crostini, crab cakes, mussels on a spoon, shrimp sliders, flat breads, fish and chips, New England clam chowder and fish tacos. Yes, I ate all that. For beer they had Trolley 5, Wild Rose, Fernie, Steamwhistle. The food was all fresh and the event went seamlessly. I'll have to go back for lunch or dinner soon!
I've been here 3 times and have always had a great experience. Obviously the seafood can't compare to places like Vancouver. It's still fresh but not "right out of the ocean" fresh. Despite that, the oysters were always perfect. Not fishy at all, and their variety of sauces were fun to try. The lobster roll is so buttery with a generous portion of lobster. I don't understand why the rating is only average. I love it here!
We came here for some drinks and oysters after work. The happy hour oyster and beer special is amazing! The oysters were so fresh and tasty and we loved all the little condiments that came with. We sat right at the bar so got to talk to the bartenders and shuckers while they did their thing. The restaurant itself has a very cool vibe, and the decor is so charming. We also tried the haddock sliders and lobster tacos and both were very tasty. Will be back for sure!
The food here is amazing – if you love seafood, you will not be disappointed. For takeout, we ordered a Lobster Roll Kit for Two, and it really was the best lobster roll I have ever had! Even the arugula side salad that came with it was perfection. We loved the Traditional Shrimp Cocktail as well. For dessert, we had the Belgian Chocolate Mousse, which was just sublime with the sponge toffee bits. I chose this place for my birthday meal, and I would definitely recommend Rodney’s to anyone who loves seafood.
Love the happy hour half dozen oysters with drinks Mon to Saturday 3 pm to 6 pm. Am now a fan of fresh oysters. The casual atmosphere at Rodneys is great for family and friends to meet up for drinks and meals. The servers are very attentive and super friendly. The scallop burgers are also really good! Highly recommend
Amazing place for oysters. I don't eat a whole lot of oysters but it was super delicious. The staff that served us was first class service. Explained all the different kinds of Oysters that come from different parts of the world and what would suit our taste buds. Highly recommend for Oyster lovers!
We went here for oysters with a party of six, our server was lovely. The decor was elegant yet paired with a casual atmosphere. We went on a Tuesday evening.
All six of us ordered a blend of east coast and west coast oysters. Fresh, lovely, and beautiful chilled. Excellent selection of seasoning for the oysters as well.
The bathroom art in the men's and woman's was absolutely fascinating.
( Our party had compared the art and had an excellent time doing so, great conversation pieces!)
Absolutely worth it!
Wow. Beautiful decor inside (like Fisherman'sWharf San Fran or New Orleans), great service, $5 pints during happy hour, but wait for it ... the fish tacos are to DIE for, the equal best I have ever had! Huge, flavourful, and incredible value on Monday Happy Hour at $12. On Tues Happy Hour they are $2.50 each - no way! See the pic, and drool over their incredible fish tacos. I can't wait to head back there (I would happily pay $20any night for those tacos!)
Food is awesome! So flavourful, every bite was a treat. We liked the ambience of the restaurant as well and all our servers were super nice.
First of all, restaurant decor and layout was great. I would come here just to hang out and drink. They had a few choices of beer and cocktails at a reasonable price. The waiter was very knowledgeable about the oysters and recommended his favorite ones which we appreciated since we didn't know much about the different oysters. I also got the clam chowder which was amazing. Oysters were a little expensive but they were the best quality in calgary I've tried so far. I would definitely come here again when I'm craving oysters, especially for the happy hour.
