An amazing place to sit and relax, such a good vibe and the food is so awesome. By far best donair I’ve had in the city and paired with the B&G salad it’s a really nice touch. Next visit will be the fish n chips as I hear it’s top notch. Well done for bringing this concept here I highly recommend you check it out.
Wife and I grabbed some lunch here today after seeing an ad on Facebook. She is originally from New Brunswick so trying something from the east coast was a must. She could never find a donair or garlic fingers in calgary that compared to back home...until today.
We both got a donair with mozzarella cheese added and the garlic fingers with bacon added. Absolutely amazing! Due to us showing up at lunch time it was fairly busy so we decided to get take out. The waitress was very friendly and the wait wasn't long at all. Maybe 15 mins. Would recommend this place to anyone. Definitely going back to try other items on the menu.
Are you from the East Coast ? You have to eat here . Not from the East Coast ? You should definitely eat here too. We tried many things tonight including the garlic fingers(and DONAIR sauce, guys!!!) prawns , scallops , clams (-yes, clams.not clam strips), chips, fries, donair, OG ceasars with freaking brothers pepperoni , and blueberry grunt donuts. Our whole table agreed that it was the best donair meat we have had in 6 years. Cut right and crispy, oh my god. On proper bread with proper sauce . It sounds like they're paying me to write this but honestly I'm the one who is happy to be paying for the best East Coast food on the West that my family has had in years . Cant wait to go back and try the lobster rolls and the donair pizza. Guys . Eat here. You wont regret it. Oh and the owners and staff are super friendly, definite east coast vibe and even great background music .
Amazing food staff was very friendly with our to go order brothers pepperoni pizza was great crust has a perfect crisp will definitely recommend this place to any of my family and friends !
Love this place. They have the best garlic fingers, pizza (Iv tried every pizza on the menu) and lobster rolls. Servers and bar staff make you feel so welcome. Excellent service and food.
Visited B&G yesterday for the first time over lunch and really enjoyed it. The waitress was super helpful and the food was great. We tried the Brothers Pepperoni and my first ever Halifax Donair. Everything was fantastic and I will be back to try some more menu options. I would recommend giving them a try.
The best donair I've found anywhere outside Halifax! Blowers and Grafton has the best of Halifax food I've missed since moving to Alberta. Look for the donair and the pepperoni.
Great food and excellent service with a smile. Best Donairs in Calgary. Highly recommend this restaurant especially if you are from down East and have cravings for the real deal donairs, fish & chips, scallops and claims. Check out their menu you won't be disappointed. Special thank you to the owner who came to have a nice chat with us before we left.Keep up the great service and looking forward to seeing other specialty items added to the menu in the future.
We had a great meal. Food was terrific (lobster rolls and the fish & chips) and the staff were great. The Dave’s Hot Shrimp Caesar is worth it too! Very glad we went.
Excellent fish and chips! I was so impressed with the friendly service and how quickly our food arrived - for a brand new place, they are doing fantastic!
Awesome, best Pictou county pizza. Great staff and fast and friendly service. We will definitely be back.
Blowers & Grafton has a menu filled with Halifax street food and dishes that are meant to bring back memories of any time you’ve spent back East. I’m heading to Halifax in the fall so I was exciting to finally make my way to the restaurant. Located in Bridgeland, there is absolutely no parking… the first block off Edmonton trail has 1 or 2 hour parking on the avenues and then it turns into permit only. So, be prepared to drive around to find parking and expect to walk a bit.
Love this place. Food is fantastic especially the donair and garlic fingers. Spinach salads are fantastic and they have a really cool Caesar with a stick of donair meat on it. And the staff is great too super friendly.
Best fish n chips in town, large pieces, not too greasy and light batter. We also love the garlic fingers, pizza and donairs. This is one of my husbands favourite places to go. It's probably a good thing we don't live down the block as I'm sure we would have a problem with me having to drag him out of there!! Lol The ambiance is cozy. I love how we all sit fairly close to one another, there is a neighborhood feel to it. Never been to Halifax but B & G makes us want to go!
I have been to pizza corner in Halifax probable 30 plus times so had to come here and try it out. Me and my wife ordered the lobster rolls with chips and the scallops with fries they also have some maritime beers here like Moosehead and garrison. The lobster rolls were not my favourite thing here did not taste right not sure what the problem was but the scallops and fries were delicious scallops were cooked well super moist even fries were done well.
Yum, Yum!!! Believe the hype!!! This place is great. Tried the lobster rolls, regular donair and donair pizza. All were fantastic! Great service and a cozy place. Can't wait to try more food here.
A small space that was busy the entire time we were there. Started with the fried spicy pepperoni with a mustard dipping sauce. We then ordered the donair pizza and it was AMAZING! The donair meat was flavorful, the crust was perfection and the donair sauce topped it all off. Had to take some home and it tasted just as good the next day. We were gifted the dessert which I can't remember the name off. They were the freshest doughiest timbits topped with berries and a sauce. Soooo good. Can't wait to go back!

What a great addition to Calgary's restaurant scene! After having driven by Blowers and Grafton countless times, we finally decided to stop by. The restaurant is very cosy and instantly makes you feel right at home, and our waitress was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout our meal. I decided to try the OG Halifax Donair ($13 for large/$10 for regular), while my friends got the Fish N' Chips ($16) and the Brothers Pepperoni Pizza ($15.50). The donair was absolutely delicious - a warm pita stuffed with tender, flavourful meat slathered in sweet donair sauce. The Fish N' Chips were pretty incredible, too - buttery, meltingly tender haddock fried in a crisp batter and served alongside some of the best fries I've had in a while. The pizza was generous and hearty, but definitely my least favourite of the three. The sauce seemed to be lacking something and the cheese was not as melted as I would have liked, but still a good deal for 15 bucks. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!
Parking was a bit of a challenge tonight for dinner club. I had to loop around a couple time to find parking in on the street a block away. Watch out for permit restrictions on the street parking. Once inside the place is quite small and tables are close together. I was able to msg them on fb and ask for reservations but we came a bit earlier just in case. The waitress was friendly and attentive. There was so many things off the menu that sounded good it was hard to decide. I got the lobster rolls and it was delicious!!! So good!! You must get this :) my friend got the garlic Fingers with bacon bits looked amazing and i would like to try this next time. I want to try the Donair as well. Will be back!

I was here on Saturday evening with my wife after we learned this place existed.. being from the East Coast (PEI) this was very exciting for us. The atmosphere was very pleasent with East Coast/Canadian/Classic rock music playing on their speakers. We had probably more food than 2 people should order but it was worth it and we had some delicious leftovers for Sunday Morning! The Donair pizza was delcious with a very good quality crust, I was told the dough is fermented for 4 days.. Honestly it isn't exactly like some places back home or on Pizza Corner but Good pizza is good pizza.. and this is definitely good quality pizza.
Prices were reasonable, $13 for a full sized Brothers Pepperoni Pizza. The Lobster Rolls and Clams and chips we're both under $20... you will not even find that in the Maritimes. The lobster rolls actually had big chunks of Claw and Tail, which is also uncommon in a roll even back home! My wife enjoyed the Moscow Mule, and I had an "Oak Island Old Fashioned" that they smoked the glass for on an old Bourbon Barrel and used Quebec Maple Syrup as the sugar..
I could go on about this restaurant.. but I'll let others try it for themselves.. it's an absolutely delight from food, service and atmosphere we will be returning very soon (maybe this weekend).
The east coast bar clams were spot on. Chunky morsels lightly dusted in corn flour and fried so the clams were still meaty and had a nice chew to it. The homemade fries and house made tartar sauce were good. The fries were crispy and with the skin on. The tartar sauce wasn’t the generic type that I’ve become accustomed to in Calgary. I would order this dish again.
The service was great. Friendly and east coast like! We were off hours. The donair was Chalk full of meat and some tomatoes/onion along with that special sauce so thumbs up there. We ordered the garlic fingers with bacon and that was a treat for sure basically an entire pizza - the crust could be a bit lighter/less hard. The donair pizza was also amazing and a value at $16. Then the lobster rolls which has fresh buns, nice lobster meat and slaw, with awesome in house chips. Can't wait to go back here!
Have been here a couple times, had the mussel bucket and fish tacos first time around and it was great. Came back a second time for the mussels and got the lobster rolls which were craving from being on the east coast last summer. Service was always good, easy laid back environment that you would expect. Mussels themselves were small but we didn't mind as the flavour was awesome. Will be returning to try out other menu items. Great to see some east coast flavour making it to the west!
Loved the hot Brothers pepperoni. Disappointed that they chop up whole clams. Pizza and lobster roll good. Fries delicious. Would go again and try the Halifax donair.
This place was recommended to me by a Haligonian friend who deeply missed garlic fingers, lobster rolls, deep fried Brothers pepperoni and Halifax-style donairs from back home. Having tried it myself, I highly recommend Blowers & Grafton as a great spot for beers and creative cocktails with friends, date night or even dinner with middle-aged parents (different from the tried and true, while still Canadian and familiar). I also imagine this would be a really nice piece of nostalgia for anyone homesick for their favourite Halifax foods. If you haven’t tried it already, get out there soon – and don’t skip a chance to order the garlic fingers!
I can't figure out why they have such a low rating 2.9... I don't think so! The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming and the menu is loaded with tons of amazing options it made it hard for us to decide ! We shared the lobster rolls and chips which were to die for the lobster was fresh and large chunks I would highly recommend it. There were way more chips then we could have ever finished ! We also tried the fish tacos they were great the fish is not breaded which always pleases me and the slaw was fresh, the sauce was just the perfect amount of spice. It was amazing. To finish off a simple $1.50 dessert doughnut ball with fresh blueberries and a maple butter glaze! Amazing. I can't wait to return and try more items.
I have been meaning to go here since they opened and finally got a chance yesterday. We started with the meat on a stick and had the lobster rolls while my wife got the clam po boy. The food was phenomenal and my wife really enjoyed her po boy - she found it a bit messy but that's the price to pay for top notch food. The place a has a very good vibe, and the staff are super friendly. Also loved the Eastcoast beer I had - forget the name - and my wife got the donair Caesar that she thoroughly enjoyed. We live close to the area and will be frequenting Blowers and Grafton regularly.
I've been in multiple times and have always been impressed with my meal and have had great service. The donairs, garlic fingers, clams, and pictou county pizza are all at the top of my list of favourites. Finally there is an authentic donair sauce in Calgary! The cocktails are delicious and not too sweet. If you're in the mood for a beer, there is a great selection of Garrison brews and it's always nice having Moosehad on tap. Can't wait to go back!
I was really excited when I heard this place opening, as I've never been to Halifax and would like to experience what they eat over on the other side of Canada. We tried the donair pizza which was so so (but to be fair I love Senoire's donair pizza so it's hard for me to find something better). The fried clams and the muscles were really good. I had one of their special ginger drinks and it was strong but good. Service was good. I live close by and drive by this place all the time seems like they are always busy!
Second time visiting and can't wait to go back. Great service and amazing food. Donair was one of the best I've had. Fried pepperoni was incredible. Will be back again and again
I have been here a few times now and overall it has been great! I would definitely recommend the donair and garlic fingers (especially for the Nova Scotians who have been missing these staples). The servers are friendly and they have some great cocktails on the menu.
We had the donair and the cheesesteak both were spot on and very fresh. Service was great and friendly. Price was decent as well. It's a small space and could be a bit loud. We will be back!
Welcome to Blowers & Grafton of Calgary. Yes an east coast bar, but with authentic east coast food. An original Halifax style pub, where I was introduced to some amazing souls. Jenna, Matt, Ally, Victoria and, Charlotte, really what an amazing experience. If you have not yet and are in Calgary, this a the spot to check out. Even if your not from Calgary, and want some home loving food, check out this place.
I’ve been wanting to try this place out forever as they have lobster rolls on the menu! Although the lobster meat was good, it was only on the top of the sandwich and only veggies were inside the bread. The fish taco filling was delicious but the taco was very dry. The Donair pizza was not bad and the fresh donuts were very good. The restaurant is tiny and I think they are only able to accommodate 3 tables at a time. I did see a lot of people grab takeout though.
We did not want to give any of the food a chance to go soggy while en route via delivery or on the way home. So we ate in the car. The chowder was nice, but not sure we'd come back for that. Those mini lobster rolls though?!?! Bomb. And we recommend the chips on the side. Awesome service, will be back!
The restaurant is very small so reservations are required on popular nights. They have spaced out tables and added plexiglass for safety.
Happy hour has good deals on some top notch food. I’m not usually a pepperoni fan but the Brothers Pepperoni was incredibly flavourful (comes in mild or hot) with a delicious mustard dipping sauce. The garlic cheese bread was as big as a pizza. I found it a little salty but still enjoyed it.
The pizzas were delicious. The pepperoni being on the happy hour menu really makes it a steal. The fish and chips were top notch, very crispy and satisfying. Even the fries were excellent.
Come here and get the donair. Trust me.
Picked up a couple of donairs on my way home as they were on special. Proper and sloppy. The donair meat was nice and tender and is complemented nicely with the BG donair sauce. The inside of the restaurant is very small and cozy, so it’s limited capacity. I was greeted by very friendly and smiling staff. Close to downtown, and a large array of item available on the menu. Reasonably priced, and a clean and welcoming atmosphere. Will return!
Really enjoyed our meal. I would say maybe order take out at peak times as the space is very small. Besides that everything was unreal, best Caesar in Calgary.
Great food and great customer service!
The donair might look a bit small but it is packed with meat and very filling.
Maybe the best garlic fingers now since Big Daddy's Sylvan is closed. But the Donair (add pep and cheese!) is for sure top 3 contender for best in Alberta. Sorry no picture due to gluttonous inhalation.
