The Bridge Eatery & Bar - Nanton, Alberta

Mike C.

I’ve been known to be honest and give honest reviews, the food was delicious steak and eggs are a good choice and the tomatoes were fresh, the service was ok Tani is a nice lady. The outside looks bad because of the cracked windows and caution tape but they know about it they are just waiting for insurance because of a vehicle fire so don’t let that detour you. Small business owners and good atmosphere and decently priced

Great stop on the way to Calgary! Lovely little restaurant with excellent service. The Indian dishes are especially delicious!

Day trip to Nanton from out of town and we chose The Bridge for breakfast. Saturday 11;00am and the first thing i noticed was how busy it was outside at the gas pumps and how very quiet inside at the restaurant, only two tables being served. We were seated at a torn/ripped seat at the window and given menus. I noticed a lot of east indian meals listed. Our order was taken by a nice young waitress and brought out in short order. My order consisted of sausage/eggs/toast and potato chunks. The plate looked quite bland, not extremely appealing, the sausage was dripping so much oil that i used two napkins to soak up the residual. The eggs cooked as requested, the potato chunks were dried up as if left over from the previous day. I have never before seen assorted jams repackaged in small containers and left out on the table. This was the first time i have been offered a visa machine to pay where the tip starts at 15%.
Next time in Nanton we will not return to the Bridge but try another restaurant.

Delicious! We had the Vegetable Samosas and Aloo Pakora to start, the dipping sauce with the Pakora was lovely. My partner had the Beef Kadhai (w/ naan and rice) very flavourful! I had the Kolkata Style Kathai Roll, first time having it and it was the perfect mix with the chicken, veg and sauce. Our little guy had the chicken fingers and fries which he said were “amazing” 😂. Wonderful, friendly service. They’ve redone the interior, it looks wonderful.

Husband got so sick from eating the stir-fry. My curry chicken was too sweet. Waitress was nice enough.

In response to the delightful reply from the owners, i am changing my stars and adding the following... our car broke down in nanton. We had no breakfast that day as we were in a rush to get going and lunch was the only thing we had (at this location) before a 3 hour trip home in a tow truck. Which we had to stop multiple times to use the bathroom. So YES I can indeed say it was your food. It can happen anywhere but this time it was at ur restaurant....And your response further shows how u treat customers. Yet another reason NOT to eat here again. Thank you for confirming that yet again! Have a great day!

I will start with the things that impressed me:

Service: The lovely woman who greeted me and took my order was perfect. Friendly, chatty and accommodating of my last minute addition to my order.

Restaurant: Appeared clean, organized and very bright. I loved the macrame decorations.

Now for the food.

I ordered the 6oz "steak" with corn and sliced tomatoes. I was disappointed that salad did not come as an option for a side, but that's not really the point losing issues.

Before tip, the meal and drink came to $30. I wasn't expecting The Keg, but I also wasn't expecting what I got.

The 6oz of steak was at least 3oz of gristle and fat, honestly looked like a piece I would have personally cut away from a larger cut of meat and preparedfor my doggos; honestlynot trying to be rude - we give ends to the dogs for real.

Also, it was seasoned with Indian spices. (Not that I mind Indian spices, but not on my steak...) the mushrooms seemed to also be prepared with the same spices. Again, not a dig at Indian spices. I just feel like if you're serving Canadian and Indian food, you should ask whether the person wants traditional seasoning for their steak and mushrooms or if they'd like the Indian spices. Medium rare was more rare than medium but I don't mind that once in a while. I'd prefer that to more well done any day so no lost points there.

I didn't realize the meal came with garlic toast - which would have been tasty if it hadnt been half toasted (more bread than toast) and then packaged with the steak where it soaked up the liquids from the resting meat.

The tomatoes were fresh, however, 2 of the slices had the core of the stem attached. Not a huge deal but also for the sake of serving edible food, you may want to use these parts for other things like salads/sauces.

I really hate that the food was this disappointing because my hopes were high after looking through their Facebook page.

I would suggest either hiring someone to take pics of what you serve or taking your phones and snapping some as they're prepared. Using stock photos for food is bordering on false advertising when the food you're serving is nowhere near the quality you're portraying online.

I would be willing to try this place again on another trip to Nanton since I know now that you use these spices in more than just your Indian food.

Again service was great! Waited less than 15minutes and enjoyed the atmosphere/staff.

Storefront does not do this place justice! It is not an average gas station resto. They truly make their Indian meals from scratch and it is delicious. Tani was our fabulous server. Thank you!

The place is run down the breakfast was cold with a small serving. The toast was dry and cold and very over priced. The coffee was one of the worst coffee experiences I have in recent memory I cant believe I paid almost 4 bucks for it. I feel like I was completely ripped off. Apparently I heard it's a good place for Indian food but I'm not gonna risk eating there again.
