District Bar & Grill - Medicine Hat

Went for dinner before the hockey game. There was a 2 can dine special for $29.99 but wasnt available because it's an event night. Not sure if they do a set menu for it but if so wouldnt that make it easier? And if not, their menu isnt very big to choose from to make on a busy night.The appetizer was the bacon cheese dip. For $12.50, we got a 6oz ramekin of dip to share. It tasted good but didnt have any bacon taste. Just a bowl of melted cheese.For dinner we decided to split 2 flatbreads to try them both. Im extremely disappointed the caramalized pear and onion flatbread was no longer on the menu so we got the steak and mushroom and bbq pulled pork with pineapple and cilantro. First of all, if I wanted a pizza i wouldve ordered delivery. They were definitely different than what they looked like before. When brought to the waitress' attention she said they switched their dough. Well i can bet my bill that its boxed frozen shells coming in from sysco, if that. Not only that, the cilantro still had the stems on it. So we had to pick them off and put them on our food ourselves.Our waitress was awesome! I felt bad cuz it did take us a long time to decide what to order. But was very attentive! Because of the cilantro she took 50% off one of our flatbreads. Overall, please bring back the old menu or change it again. Until then i unfortunately wont be returning unless its for the mini donuts and drinks.

Food was OK, The yam fries are very good. BUT not impressed with their idea of customer service. The chairs are extremely uncomfortable. It is dark in there and I didn't think I needed to check the chairs for ketchup.If I was in McDonalds I might have checked. I would suggest you do because as the manager said "these things happen in restaurants" The back of the pants I had on were covered. My coat that I put on the empty chair had numerous stains. Now yes I might agree things happen, but apparently it is my responsibility not the restaurants to ensure I am sitting in a clean chair. And I should know if there are any kids around that this is a possibility. The fact that I had gone home not realizing that I had ketchup stains and returned a while later to see that the ketchup was still all over the chair, says that the next person sitting there was about to have the same issue.Again things happen and all I wanted was them to pay for my dry cleaning of my coat. But no not their responsibility. I asked for the owners phone number and I called him, no return call. I also sent him an email I found on their website, still waiting for an answer. Guess I will be paying for that dry cleaning bill! Hopefully they can get the stains out. Lesson learned... I will not go back there again.

I went with the black and blue burger. This burger was delicious. Bleu cheese and caramelized onions were a great mix. The side garden salad with balsamic dressing was awesome, I really enjoyed it. On the downside, the metal chairs are not very comfortable and the bathroom needs some serious upkeep. Overall a very good restaurant.

We stopped in for a couple appetizers and drinks. The food was really good. Friendly atmosphere. Service was quick and the waiter was funny. The maple bacon mini donuts are a must.

Awesome food experience. Will definitely be back! Glad to see local owners and not so many franchises in this town.
