October 2008 - My first visit will not be my last. Myself and wife recently paid a visit to this calgary landmark we were not disapointed in any manner. The service was incredable as I understand things Boogies recently change hands being that I had never been there before I can't speak about what the sevice was like in the past but can no imagine that it could have been better. As soon as you walk in you are treated like a long time friend not something you see very often these days.
I had a pizza burger quite honsetly the best burger I have ever had my wife tried the Jerk chicken they may have had it brought right from Jamica it was that good.fries amazing fresh home cut not soggy at all. I treid a bacon(yes bacon)and maple shake I don't think I have ever seen this before you have to try it.
I could go on forever but I will let you decide for yourself. BOOGIES is the best burger joint you will find anywhere.

August 2008 - After hearing about Boogies from a couple of buddies I finally decided to make ther trip down and try it out. The place is very freindly, clean, and relaxed. We sat at the counter next to the big screen and watched the Stamps game. It reminded me of an old style neighbourhood diner. There were 3 young guys working and they were polite and gave great service.
I had seen the youtube video on the Keiths Burger so I decided on that with Spicy Fries. The Burger is HUGE. The you tube video doesnt do it justice. Not only was it big, it tasted unreal. The fried egg, bacon, mushroom sauce, pizza sauce, and fried onions all compliment each other well (who would have thought). My Girlfriend ordered the The Red Dog. It's a Large Hot Dog wrapped in bacon and deep fried on a toasted hot dog bun. She's not the fast food type but said it was great and wanted more.
Anyways the place was excellent and I cant wait to go back. Oh yeah it has old school table top Video Games......they even have wonder boy!!!

June 2008 - I have been a huge fan of Boogie's Burgers for years. They quite possibly make the best burgers I've ever tasted. A couple of months ago I visited Boogie's and was sad to hear that the owners had sold the business to a bunch of young guys. I was hoping that nothing would change with the new ownership.
Since the new ownership has taken over, I have visited Boogie's a handful of times and can't even express how good the burgers are now. I didn't think they could get any better, but they have done something to the sauce to improve it and it's better than ever!!
Our staple meal at Boogie's is two 1/4 lb. mushroom, cheese and bacon burgers with fried onions, tomatoes, lettuce etc. We also share spicy fries and onion rings. On our last visit, the burgers were absolutely scrumptious and the sides tasted awesome too. Of course we had to accompany our meals with a couple of bottles of Keiths.
I loved the old owners, but I must admit, the new guys are pretty awesome too. They have changed a few things in the restaurant, for instance, they took down all the motorcycle pictures and now sell interesting artwork - with a crime scene theme. The new guys are also very customer service oriented and I think we were asked three or more times how our meal was. They even kept an eye on our beverage levels and offered more beer! Great customer service!! We'll definitely remain faithful patrons for a long time.

May 2008 - I have eaten at Boogies Burgers many times. I was somewhat skeptical at first when my friend said that we should go, but the moment I tried the burgers, I was hooked. They are big, fresh, and delicious. Completely customizable with the toppings, I enjoy them best fully loaded. Their Keith's is amazing, topped off with a fried egg. Some other reviewers mentioned they were greasy, but I find them to be some of the least greasy burgers I have ever had. The meat is fresh and delicious; juicy, but not greasy. I have eaten there many times and have never had a stomach ache or felt ill like I do from other places. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is awesome. I highly recommend Boogies Burgers.

April 2008 - I have a confession. I've lived in Calgary all my life, but had never had a burger from Boogies Burgers.
I like meat, I really do. I've had Burger Inn. And Galaxie. I've had Peter's more often than I care to mention. But never Boogies.
I was missing out. The atmosphere is great (diner-style with 80's video games), and the service is fantastic. I understand that there's new ownership, and all the owners are young-ish ex-bartenders and bar managers who are friendly and enthusiastic.
The burgers are good, if messy. But they're messy for a reason- The burge r patties are ultra thin but huge, on special baked daily buns that are equally expansive and thin. The net effect is a burger the size of a small plate that looks like it lost a battle with an 18-wheeler. What this means is that even the smallest mouth could order a 3-patty 1/2 pounder fully loaded, and still get a good jaw lock on it. This ingenious design does impact the structural integrity, but it also ensures that every bite has a good cross section of goodies, of which there are many to choose from. My burger had the standard assortment of vegetable fixins, along with bacon and their special mushroom sauce (which rocked). I also had the yam chips, which were a nice change from spuds. A creamsicle milkshake also hit the spot.
My accompanyment, my 14 year old daughter, rounded out the experience by kicking my butt at tabletop pinball (but wisely decided against accepting my Ms. PacMan challenge...)
Highly recommended.

November 2006 - Boogies has a bunch of burgers to choose from (as well as chicken and veggie burgers) that are available with a variety of toppings, including cheese, bacon, onions and a mushroom sauce. My boyfriend and I went here for lunch one day and each got burgers with cheese and mushrooms sauce, with yam fries and milkshakes. The burgers were really messy and I ended up losing most of mine to the plate. All were very tasty but we each had a stomachache for the rest of the day from all the grease. I haven't decided if it was worth it or not. The atmosphere is really neat, very retro with old-school video games and decor from the 70s. I would probably go back but I would try to order something a bit fresher and healthier (if that is possible). I can see why this place has lots of regulars -- the staff are incredibly friendly and the food is old-fashioned and reminiscent of burgers joints of the past.

| "The Best Burger in Town!" |

by Sarah (from Calgary, AB)
August 2006 - I have been a long-time fan of Boogies Burgers. They offer some of the tastiest burgers in the city! The spicy fries and the onion rings are also to die for. This burger joint was established over 40 years ago and I doubt that much has changed over the years. They use a cheese sauce on their burgers, so if you're not a fan, make sure you don't order it. Also, they have a great homemade hot sauce. My typical order is a 1/4-pounder bacon, mushroom cheeseburger (loaded), onion rings and spicy fries! It is also licensed, so you can enjoy a nice cold beer with your burger.

June 2006 - My wife and I, like most people who live in Calgary, are not from Calgary. We moved here in late '99 from Ontario. Being avid carnivores, we asked a few people in town where to get a good burger, this being cow-town with "The best AAA beef in Canada" etc. etc. etc.
Peter's was what we we're told over and over again. So, we tried it. Here is my quick synopsis of our first and only visit:
Looked old and run down. Ordering was either in your car or standing at a few windows outside the building. Staff were unfriendly and slow. Fries were soggy. Burgers were greasy and tasteless. My orange milkshakes tasted like alcohol. Line ups were too way long.
Now, this review doesn't seem like it is for Boogies at all does it? Well, I just felt that the best way to plug Boogies was to bash Peters!
Boogies, go, you wont regret it....
Better burgers. Better Fries. Far superior milkshakes. (I recommend chocolate)
Licensed, if you want a cold one while you nosh. Fantastic Friendly service from the owners themselves. Burgers are a bit sloppy and greasy but very tasty. (Have an ample supply of napkins at the ready)
Boogies is best!
