Yakima Social Kitchen Bar, nestled within the Marriott at Calgary International Airport, offers an unexpected culinary oasis amidst the hustle of travel. This hidden gem has garnered rave reviews, particularly for its exceptional service and delicious menu. Patrons like Rajko Keravica laud the expertise of bartender Ethan, who crafts standout cocktails such as the Smoky Old Fashioned. The menu is diverse, featuring highlights like the succulent 10 Oz Alberta Rangeland Bison Ribeye and a creamy Thai Green Curry that captures the essence of comfort food, even as diners navigate the chaos of travel. E Butler emphasizes the restaurant’s affordability, especially in an airport setting, allowing for a satisfying meal without breaking the bank. Families, too, are well catered for; one diner shared how their daughter devoured the delightful pizza while they relished the creamy curry and decadent sticky toffee pudding, which left an indelible impression. Amidst remarkable dishes, the attentive service stands out—Tristan, another noted staff member, provides a calm, professional demeanor, ensuring a warm dining experience. Whether you’re in transit or staying nearby, Yakima Social Kitchen Bar is a must-visit for travelers seeking quality food and service that exceeds expectations.

What to say. Amazed. Had some time to kill on the airport, and was lucky enough to choose Yakima. Ethan, the bartender is simply amazing. I am 15 years in the hospitality business, and know good service. Didn’t have this amazing service in a while. Smoky Old Fashioned and Alpine Garden cocktails are super nice, Potato chips surprisingly nice, and Chicken divine. But the Toffee Pudding, that kinda kicked me out, sooooo good! Anyways, high recommendations, and thank you Ethan!

This was a great and easy place to eat while staying at the in-airport Marriott. The prices were very cheap in the area, especially for the airport. The food was super delicious. It made dinner really easy before getting up to fly the next morning, and is a great place to eat, especially if you are staying in the hotel.

Wow what can I say? The food here is a 11/10. This really brought some positive to me and my family when we ate here after a terrible end to our holiday with our flight being cancelled and being stuck at the airport for 4 days. All 6 of our meals were just divine, my partner had the steak which he said was the best steak he has ever had and my green Thai curry was cooked to perfection, the sauce was so creamy and I could really taste the coconut with a beautiful variety of vegetables (after eating so unhealthy during our time in Canada it was nice to have some greens!). My 2 year old daughter loved her pizza and the chips were lovely and soft (I double checked this with the server). For dessert I had the sticky toffee pudding which was delicious, if we are ever in Calgary again I would not hesitate to come back here. - our server was a little stiff and could have lightened up a little as we was trying to have a conversation with her but maybe that was just her personality, although she really did take note of my partners nut allergy and egg intolerance and made it clear to us what he could and couldn’t eat, it was not any trouble to her which we really appreciated.

5 stars – Excellent Service from Tristan I recently had a short stay in Calgary, and during both my arrival and departure at the Calgary International Airport, I stopped by the Yakima bar/restaurant at the Marriott inside the terminal. Both times, I was served by Tristan, and I have to say — he was outstanding. I ordered burgers, fries, a couple of drinks, and some food, and Tristan was consistently kind, professional, and attentive throughout. He made me feel welcome without overdoing it, checked in at the right times, and genuinely delivered great customer service. In an airport setting — where things are often rushed or impersonal — he stood out for his calm energy and thoughtful service. I really appreciated his hospitality, and it made those moments between flights a lot more enjoyable. Highly recommend stopping by and asking for Tristan if he’s working. He’s the kind of person who raises the standard.

A nice little restaurant in the Marriott hotel. You can access it without being a quest so it is a nice spot to get out of the hussle and bussel of the terminal. The staff are great and the food is pretty solid too

We decided to check out this spot during our layover in Calgary and I must say, I was quite impressed. We ordered the steak sandwich with green salad, braised pulled pork and elk burger with fries, and the sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream. Super tasty, generous portions and overall great quality food. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

My first time being at the airport and not flying lol Interesting menu, definitely has some unique dishes. Food was great, big portions. Prices above average, but it's a great option if you are at the airport and want some good food. My favorite was arugula salad.
