“ The food, however, truly stole the show, with each dish bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors. The appetizers, were a delightful start, showcasing the chef's skill and attention to detail the main course was cooked to perfection, and the accompanying side dish added a beautiful balance of textures and tastes.

The restaurant's commitment to both culinary excellence and exceptional service is what sets it apart, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience in Grande Prairie ”
“ Simply delicious. Ordered for pickup and it was ready quickly, and whoever took my order and hostess were both very friendly. The dishes each came in a lovely box making it easy to hand out and to eat. I recommend the fish and chips! The cod is perfect, and the batter is so crispy! The gravy is also exceptional. The sweet chili chicken wrap and sweet potato fries were delicious too. They also added in a free Beaver Tail to our pickup order which was a lovely and tasty surprise. ”
“ Stopped by for a quick bite and their cinco de Mayo specials were on. Bonus for me. I ordered the chips and guac, chicken tacos, and the Saskatoon berry pie. All were awesome. The guac was super flavourful and smooth as silk with crispy, fresh chips. The tacos were perfect size on corn tortillas. Fresh and flavourful and absolutely tasty. The Saskatoon berry pie uses local berries from Edmonton and the crust is home made. Not as good as my wife’s pie but damn good all the same, especially with 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream on there. Our server Colby was attentive and patient and had such a lovely demeanour. Will definitely eat here again while visiting Grande Prairie. ”
“ Love this place! It's an amazing place to stop by, listen to good music, and eat some great food. The establishment was very clean. The staff was super friendly and attentive! The fried pickles here are the best I've ever tasted throughout all of my traveling! Hands down!! The ribs lived up to their name and fell off the bone! ”
“ If I could give a higher review I would. The atmosphere was nice and music was good, not too loud. The service was awesome. Our waitress Sara came around just the right amount of times and knew what to recommend. She found out it was our anniversary and ended up giving us a dessert for free which was not expected but a very nice treat. I ordered the flat iron steak which I have to admit I had no idea what it was at first but then looked it up and decided to order it. It was by far the best steak I have ever eaten, anywhere. 10/10 recommended. My wife ordered the trail blazer burger which was huge and she also said it was one of the best burgers she has had. She got the wood chips (fries) with it and we have never had those before not being from the area but they were super tasty. Everything was cooked to perfection. Cannot say enough good things about this place. Go try it! ”
“ Great place for homestyle type food. Burgers are good and large portions. Nice patio in the summer ”
“ We went there to celebrate a 95th birthday. The manager was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond to accommodate us. Provided a perfect table location for all of us. The food was amazing, we all enjoyed what we ordered. The service was bar none, our server was delightful. They brought a special desert and sang happy birthday. We had a great evening. Thank you so much!! ”
“ A Memorable Valentine's Day at The Old Trapper My partner and I had the pleasure of celebrating Valentine's Day at The Old Trapper, and it was truly an unforgettable experience.

The service was impeccable — our dinner arrived quickly, and everything was absolutely delicious. It's rare to find such a great combination of excellent food and attentive service. Amanda's attention to detail and cheerful demeanor really elevated the experience. Overall, The Old Trapper made our Valentine's Day extra special, and we’ll definitely be returning for more amazing meals and top-notch service. Highly recommend! ”
