   I had reservation at 7:15pm on Feb 16 2025 The reservation didnt include the parking instructions so I had to find and pay $13 at different spot. And when I showed up they told me that there is a parking that I could use but I didn’t receive any instructions. The food experience was really bad, we got served with only 1 chicken leg per person, 3-4 times of meats and then we had to ask them for more meat and they came once after we call them. We ended up eating more salad to fill up and at the end I have paid $455 for 3 adults and 3 kids age 4,4 and 6 years olds. Really disappointed and I felt embarrassed as I invited my friends from another city to visit Calgary.

   It was my first time at Pampa and It was a great experience! The food overall was great. Some sides like the beans could be warmer but other than that everything good. The service was outstanding!! Kudos to all the servers and staff at Pampa! Will definitely be back!

   Pampa was a decent experience overall. The food was amazing, all of the meat options were cooked perfectly and tasted amazing and the salad and bread bar had great options. It was Valentine’s Day weekend so it was busy which we understood - however our waitress forgot us and our drink twice, we only got a top up on water once in 1hr45 then we didn’t get the second part of our meal. We ended up changing our choice from the Valentine’s Day Special to the Rodizio minus the shrimp and ordered our own drinks and dessert. The front staff and the Rodizio staff were great and very friendly. We were here for a birthday celebration and it didn’t feel like a celebration at all. I would go back here for the food alone but not to celebrate anything.

   Excellent staff. All very professional and dedicated. We were asked by different staff members if we were doing ok and needed anything, when it was a very busy night (tables were all full). We weren't a fan of all the meats, found them on the bland side, but there were definitely a couple we loved and had more of those ones. All the meats were cooked to perfection. And the buffet was fantastic. Several vegetarian options that were delicious, which was appreciated. The Valentines menus was an excellent value. The house wine was amazing and we wish we knew where we could buy it, or the winery, outside of the menu price! (They only provide it at the restaurant at the menu price like you were buying it for the table).

   It is a pricier experience, however the meats are good and usually cooked well. The servers are nice and you will definitely be full after.

   Great tasting food, lots of fresh and healthy choices, great service. Some of the cuts were too well done, but mostly great.

    The service was great. Attentive people. Friendly. The cold salad bar was very good. The meat came regularly but the beef was generally tough. The pork was tender and the chicken was good. Of course the grilled pineapple was good too. Free parking was a bonus.
