The Story Behind The ‘Best Burger in Canmore’

We want to talk about how we came to be known as the spot to get the best burger in Canmore. Well, actually, the best burger in the Bow Valley according to TripAdvisor. If you’ve ever taken a journey through CanGOLF’s reviews on Google or TripAdvisor, you might have noticed a bit of a theme. Here’s what we mean:


“If you want to experience one of the greatest burgers of your life, stop at CanGOLFl. So tasty! The fries are also crunchy and full of flavours.”


“Best Hamburger ever! Thanks from Montreal After 14 days work, it’s paradise with the view of the Mountains, it’s simply perfect.”


“Wonderful burger! And the waitress was super friendly. Nice place to grab a quick dinner. The view of the Mountains was beautiful.”


“We played on the golf simulators as a family, and it was so much fun! Dinner was delicious as always! The Crush Burger is my favourite burger ever! Can't wait to come back.”


“We ate here 2 of our 4 nights in Canmore - the food was that good! I had the chicken club sandwich, and my husband had the crush burger - delicious!”


You see what we mean? While we can’t take credit for the beautiful mountain views that Canmore has to offer, we sure can throw a feather in our caps for our fan-favourite burgers. A staple on the CanGOLF menu is our Crush Burger, but it stands among some other hard-hitters like our Fried Chicken Club and Korean Chicken Sandwich. To give you a little peek behind the curtain on the thinking behind these hand-held creations, we asked our Executive Chef, Dallas Suttie, to weigh in. 


“The Crush burger is modelled after the classic California Smash Burger,” Dallas explained. “Flat top seared to keep all those juices in, fresh lettuce, onion & tomato, homemade bacon, house-made pickles, and the smoked tomato aioli as our signature burger sauce.” Dallas told us that “landing in California for me was always met by an immediate trip to arguably one of the best burgers out there at In & Out Burger.” So, there you have it, that’s the Crush Burger, folks. 


Next up, the Fried Chicken Club. “The fried chicken club just comes from my love southern style fried chicken,” said Suttie. “Buttermilk marinated chicken, breaded, fried until crispy perfection, add some bacon, cheese and some groceries and you have a delicious chicken sandwich that really allows the chicken to speak for itself. The joke is that our burger is very good, but it may not even be the best sandwich on the menu.” We’re not exactly making it easy for you to decide what to order, are we? 


Last but absolutely not least is the Korean Chicken Sandwich. “When you already have great fried chicken in-house, why not add some Korean influence?” said Suttie. “The use of Gochujang (fermented bean and chili paste) as a sauce to coat our fried chicken is such a great flavour profile as it covers the gauntlet of flavour: sweet, spicy, tangy, umami & a tiny but funky.” It doesn’t stop there. “Add some sweet roasted carrots, fresh white onions, napa cabbage slaw and you have a sandwich that hits all the spots. This may be one of my personal favourite items I have ever put on a menu.” 


There you go, your guide to CanGOLF’s best burgers and sandwiches. So, which one are you ordering next?
