Dutton's - Kananaskis

Came here during Stampede time. We were in the Saddledome and later wanted to go get food. So we came here and got chicken fingers and fries to share. They were good. But seems a bit lacking not sure what it was. Service was ok. Lots of people walking in and out. Its basically a pub and you need to walk through it before getting into the performance or show at the Saddledome.

Dutton 's is the kind of place where it is what it is due to it 's location. Any time you go it 's crowded because just like everyone else, you 're going to the game. You have to have a ticket just to get in. The service has always been decent for me. The bartenders do their best to serve you as quickly as possible. The waitstaff seem to make the rounds in a timely manner. The staff will also warn you about the length of time it may take you to get your meal. If they think you won 't get your food before puck drop they 'll tell you so you 're not angrily waiting for your burger while the game is on.

Located in the Scotiabank Saddledome and previously referred to as Avison Young Club. I 'm a die-hard lacrosse fan and Dutton 's is a ritual before every home game. For Flames hockey Roughnecks lacrosse, must have a game ticket to enter. With doors opening 2 hours before event start, it 's a great place to grab a drink and something to eat. Menu is limited, but food is good. Our ritual before lacrosse games is always and order of nachos. Last home game , the comment made when food was delivered to our table you guys are so predictable . Graham loves the burger, our guests have enjoyed the salad and the wings. Staff is friendly, food comes quickly, and seldom have to wait long for drinks. Lots of TVs, showing a variety of sports. Another awesome feature... Dutton 's is open for all 10 days of Stampede. They have a wonderful buffet for a reasonable price. Not alot of selection, but the food is mouth-watering good. Another tradition of ours... for over 20 years we have spent the final Sunday of Stampede on the grounds, attending both the Rodeo Finals, and Chuckwagon Finals. Our dinner inbetween is the buffet. (ok, now I 'm making myself hungry! It 's a bar in a sports complex. With all the Flames hocky games, no idea how I can possibly be the Foursquare Mayor (something which I expect, after I have included that info in this review, will soon change! . But for Graham I, for 8 home lacrosse games a year, maybe a playoff game or 2, and final day of Stampede... it is our venue of choice.

10.50 for a bud lite or 11 for a Stella or corona? Stadium prices for sure. Food is very average and , like 4 beers, 1 wine, 1 cider and a meal each x4 (not a great meal) 157.76. I'm talking chicken fingers, club sandwich, smoke meat sandwich and a rice bowl. It's a gouge and very apparent. Big miss for me. You have to at least, bare minimum serve really good food if you want to charge REALLY HIGH PRICES.

An ad for Dutton 's might read, DO YOU LIKE BEER THAT TASTES LIKE A NOZZLE? DO YOU LIKE WAITING EXORBITANT AMOUNTS OF TIME FOR FOOD COLDER THAN THE ICE THE FLAMES PLAY ON? COME HERE! So it 's hockey night and you 're starving. You think to yourself, How convenient! A lounge right in the Saddledome! With food and beer and everything! (You are easily impressed) we should GO THERE! No, you shouldn 't. You really, really shouldn 't. The last time I was at Dutton 's it was absolutely balls to the walls packed out not a table to be had. Okay, can 't fault a place for being popular. My friend and I moseyed up to the counter and decided we 'd just eat right at the bar. After waiting 10 minutes to be acknowledged, he ordered a burger and fries, I opted for chicken fingers. And then we waited. And waited. And waited some more. I was absolutely starving. So we did what anyone logical would do and grabbed a few beers. My Keith 's unfortunately tasted ... well, how do I put this. You know the smell of spray paint? That mechanical, nozzle type taste? Imagine you mixed that with some hops and then had a flashback to that one time you were 8 years old and stuck a screw in your mouth, and that 's how my beer was. But since I had already paid $100 for it I decided that I might as well finish it up. Dish after dish went by to others around us even people who had arrived later. I was getting annoyed, but all of their meals looked really good. The presentation was solid. They looked happy with them, so I convinced myself this was all going to be worth it. Maybe the chef in the back was a really cute girl who saw me come in and decided to hand make my meal for me. Maybe my chicken fingers would come cut into the shapes of hockey sticks and Jarome Iginla 's weird shaped head. Maybe she was arranging my fries into a log cabin and hiding a slip of paper with her number inside. All relevant possibilities. None of them true, sadly. We waited some more. And then FINALLY! The metal lid covered trays arrived in front of us. Finally, our meals were here! Eagerly I lifted up the lid to discover.. A FANTASTIC DELICIOUS MEAL! Or, rather, what had been a fantastic delicious meal probably half an hour before they whipped it out from under the heat lamps and brought it over to me. My fries were white, soggy, limp and sad. I want to make an inappropriate reference here, but I 'm sure you can do that yourselves now. My chicken fingers were dry, cold and hard. It was like Duttons was throwing one last SCREW YOU! at me before I went upstairs to watch the Flames lose again. In conclusion, if you 're hungry before a game, eat somewhere else. Have a beer at that somewhere else too, unless you 're into brews that taste like the inside of a pipe.
