Fodor's Expert Review Chuck's Steakhouse

This second-floor restaurant has great views of Banff Avenue and incredible steaks, namely grass-fed, Wagyu, prime beef that's sourced from ranches along the Cowboy Trail—the heart of Alberta's ranch country—dry aged in house, started on a mesquite-wood grill, and finished in a copper pan with herbs and butter. Servers are well-versed in the various cuts of beef, but if steak isn't your thing, alternatives include slow-cooked barbecue chicken, vegan cauliflower cross-cut, and wild British Columbia salmon. Appetizers and side dishes are served family-style. An extensive wine list and an in-house sommelier ensure perfect pairings. Mud pie is the signature dessert, and it's exceptional.
