A little about this place
About Smokehouse N Broasters Calgary
Smokehouse N Broasters is a small, old-school eatery at 6805 Ogden Road SE in Ogden, built around pressure-fried broaster chicken. The chicken comes original or spicy, as pieces, wings and family combos, and the rest of the menu covers pulled chicken and BBQ chicken fillet sandwiches, smoked beef brisket and hot roast beef sandwiches, burgers, fish and chips, potato wedges, fries with a peppery gravy, poutine and breakfast plates.
The room keeps its 1970s look, with motorcycle decor, old signage and photos from the filming of the TV series Fargo, which used the restaurant as a location. The owner, known as Doc, cooks and runs the counter himself. It opens at 10:30 a.m. Monday to Saturday and is closed on Sunday; calling ahead is suggested for larger chicken orders.
