Fire Hall Kitchen Tap - Cranbrook

Really enjoyed the atmosphere and food here. We shared the huge steak nachos. The service was great and the outdoor seating perfect for an meal. Would go back for sure if in the area.

Great appies! Especially their nachos and poutines. Tasty sour beers too. Friendly vibe and servers. Food is always good!

We started our visit with signature cocktails. The Dirtbag lemonade and rose sangria were fresh and tasty!! From the moment we were welcomed by Ruby, who was a great server, we knew we were in for a treat! She was very attentive and very informative. She shared with us the favorite items on the menu, favorite drinks, etc. Everything was really really good. We shared Thai poutine, and each had a hamburger with house salad. the Mr. Bodangles burger was so good! Smash burger with onion twists, brie, bacon on artisan bun with a side of No 40 steak sauce. We each ordered house salads and didn't touch them. So full. Highly highly recommend this place, especially if you get the pleasure of having Ruby as your server. 10/10 recommend!

OVERALL: 8.6 10 Yelp Converted Score: 4.3 5 . My partner and I visited here after our initial lunch plans fell through due to lack of sandwiches it 's a long story . We were driving through Cranbrook, BC, on our way to Calgary road trip! , and we needed a bite before continuing onwards to the mountains. VERDICT: Definitely a gem in the Cranbrook area I 'd probably be a regular if I lived in the city! 1 VARIETY SELECTION: 8.5 10. Womp womp... they didn 't have salmon when we were there the kitchen said they were out , so we couldn 't order the salmon poke nachos. My partner wanted salmon on the salad; she ended up ordering grilled chicken cuz they ran out of salmon. This is what led us to order calamari. I ordered the #fhn fried chicken sandwich with a pulled pork poutine on the side. All in all it came out to be decent. Beer selection is decent 15+ options ; the alcohol selection was decent, too, but my partner ordered a lemonade since we still had some driving to do. 2 FRESHNESS: 9 10. It was definitely freshly made, but I think given the missing ingredients inventory this is a must given the few things they *did* have to be able to be ordered. 3 VALUE FOR MONEY: 8 10. All in, it came to $100 CAD after tax and tip. Definitely pricey, despite ordering a beer and two lemonades $6 each lemonade... it had a lot of ice, so ouch . Portion size for the food was huge though we ended up taking out some of the poutine and calamari since it was a lot bigger than expected. I would say don 't bother ordering a shareable unless you have at least 3+ people otherwise you 're going to leave with leftovers. Update: My partner ate the entire poutine leftover before we reached Calgary, and we both forgot about the calamari, so that ended up needing to be pitched. Whoops 4 SERVICE: 8.5 10. Service was prompt, kind, and relatively good. I would have liked an inside seat to begin with, given how *not busy* this place was at lunch on a weekday, but it wasn 't a bad experience. 5 CONSISTENCY FIRST IMPRESSION: 9 10. We initially sat outside but wow was it hot the day we came Thursday . We asked to sit at the bar and we were glad to be inside when it was very hot outside think 25+ degrees Celsius . The place was fairly packed when we got there, but the bar where we were seated was basically empty by the time we were about to get up to leave.

Service was slow. Took 20 minutes to get drink order and never got a drink or food menu (they were apparently out of them even though they weren't that busy. It was Mother's Day so perhaps they were busier early. We ordered the app size Caesar and that was delicious. Garlicky and spicy, as promised. There was a burger that I had heard about that I was drying to try.... The Malarkey. There are 2 sizes 5oz and 8oz. We had planned on sharing the 8oz. When we ordered, we weren't offered the size options. We also weren't offered a choice in how our burger was cooked. Burger was ok. It was well done but still juicy and tasted good. The fries (the side to the burger) were terrible. They were barely warm and chalky. They were little bits and ends. I think of the whole order, we had maybe 3-4 that were full size fries.... Which, I guess was a blessing because they weren't good. We drove 75 miles each way to come here so it was very disappointing. Definitely won't be doing that again.
