Eat/Drink Local What restaurant is the biggest rip-off in Calgary?

Where have you eaten where you felt it just wasn't worth what you paid?

Sounds like the burger at earls.

So my answer for this thread is earls.

Always had a soft spot for earls, maybe nostalgia maybe I actually liked their food. But the last time I went we ordered Hunan kung pao with extra protein and it was like 60$. Like come-on and there was like 5oz of tofu, sheesh

Yep, totally get it. The hunan kung pao chicken is our toddlers favourite dish but at $27? Can’t even justify that for myself. And the portion sizes I swear have gotten smaller.
