Fun location with good bar food!

The bar itself has a really fun vibe and their 2nd floor patio seating is great to watch what's going on in the area! We had several tasty burgers along with some good mocktails and deep fried Oreos!

Great atmosphere and food.

Visited here for some food late at night. We sat on the balcony that overlooks the street, it was very cute! I ordered the classic burger with poutine. The burger was good, it tasted similar to BK’s impossible whopper. I also got a blue mocktail which was really good! Had a great time!

Pros: Atmosphere

Cons: Water glass was dirty.

May not be good for you, but so good!

Food was really good. Really like the vings. My sandwich was huge, and I had to take it to go. Service was very, very friendly and helpful.

As a person with a disability, there were a lot on stairs to get up to them buy worth the climb.

If you are interested, a live bad was setting up. I was not, and it was getting loud, but that was my personal taste.vines!

I would absolutely recommend and will be back!

Pros: Flavors, Classic corndog, vings!, Patio seating

Cons: Not disable friendly (2nd floor, lots of stairs), Make sure you know when the live music starts

Fun atmosphere, great location on Whyte Avenue, amazing food!

During out trip to Edmonton last May, it was getting pretty late but we were craving some good vegan food and drinks.....thankfully The Buckingham (@thebuckonwhyte ) on the eclectic Whyte Avenue .. was open for the save!

Their food is 100% vegan, what you might expect to find in a diner or bar, decadent and hearty hearty hearty! If you want healthy, they do have three salad options to choose from. We went with the Buffalo Mac'n'Cheese, Poutine, Chkn Wings and ....oh my ... Deep Fried Oreos. We don't really have vegan Poutine options here in Seattle (if you know of any, please do drop a note in the comments section letting me know where) so it's always a treat going to Canada and comparing the various Poutine options as pretty much every vegan place has their own take.

If you haven't been to visit yet, you owe it to yourself to try them out. If you find yourself visiting Edmonton, make a point to visit Whyte Avenue and walk up and down the strip checking out all of the store and most definitely, including The Buckingham in your visit.

Fully vegan pub!

It's great to find a fully vegan pub in Edmonton! The BBQ burger and garlic fries are delicious, and they have awesome happy hour deals every day (10$ for 2 oz cocktails) and daily specials as well - I came on a Tuesday for their margarita special, and they also have 50% off burgers every Thursday!

I was a bit disappointed by the buffalo chicken wrap, however; the tortilla was poorly wrapped and it was already falling apart by the time it was served to me, and the seitan "chicken" was way too tough.

Service was very friendly and attentive. Reasonable prices. Nice shaded second-floor patio.

Pros: Friendly service, Reasonable prices

Cons: Don't get the buffalo chicken wrap!

Great playoff grub

Had the chik’n sandwich Buffalo style and upgrade side to Mexican fries. Everything was delicious and portions exceeded my expectations. Could not be happier with my meal.

Pros: Great flavor, Amazing choice on the menu, Large portion

Cons: Didn’t have room to try something else

Big disappointment

I really wanted to love this place, but man, huge let down.
I ordered the Taco Salad, one of my favourite things to eat. No more than 5 minutes after ordering, my meal was brought out, which was shocking and way too quick.
I assumed this would be a large portion of salad for $15, but alas, I was wrong. This was essentially just a bunch of romaine lettuce, some unseasoned Gardein crumbles, jarred salsa, and a couple shredded carrots. A total of 2 crumbled tortilla chips sat on top. It basically tasted like nothing. I was still hungry after eating the entire thing, which never happens to me.
Service was also not excellent. Only 2 other patrons and staff seemed annoyed by our existence

Unfortunate Experience

Took out my non-vegan family to this restaurant hoping it was “meaty” enough that they’d enjoy it because I saw the great reviews. Burgers were left uneaten, there’s hardly any potato in the fries, food came out semi-cold, nachos were pretty bland and disappointing, old lettuce, flat coke, probably understaffed, with a poorly working toilet cubicle in the men’s (I won’t give you imagery). Staff were kind, but hard to find. It was a mostly empty restaurant but there was a 45 minute wait for the food and another 25 minutes after asking for the bill. Forgot to add the stomach ache I got while eating my dinner - it was way too greasy.
The sweet potato fries and the deep fried pickles were great! Not good enough to increase the stars unfortunately. Unfortunately it was their first experience of a vegan restaurant too, so it adds to the sourness of the experience.

Pros: Great vibe, Great interior, Nice staff

Cons: Large quantity of poor quality food, Long waits, Bad toilet!

Great comfort food!

Honest one of the best places in edmonton for comfort vegan food. Definitely doesn’t go for the health route, but if you are looking for a good burger, wings, or donair! It’s the place to go.

Pros: Full vegan menu, Good pub vibes

Classic Bar Food

The food is just like any other classic greasy pub, except it's vegan. Good option if your getting drunk on Whyte Ave.

Update: went here with 3 omni's recently and they all gave it a solid 4/5. The food has improved since I was here last, I would recommend checking it out.

Great Corn Dogs and Fried Chicken Basket

It was amazing to have a vegan Corn Dog, the taste, smell and structure of this dish was just great. The Fried Chicken Basket was also fantastic, two big "chickens" with a awesome taste and a perfect matching gravy. Both dishes came with fries and we had enough on our plate for a quick dinner.
The service was great and the music was good.

Pros: All Vegan , Great Menu

Great vegan pub grub, beers and music

All vegan all the time is the saying on the menu. The folks who operate this Edmonton institution give a damn and have fun doing it. Sit down and grab a sea change lager and a sinfully delicious bar favourite. Catch great rock music or dance the night away. This is my favourite bar in Edmonton.

Pros: All vegan all the time, Vegan Pub fair, Socially responsible folks
