Asteroid Cater — Restaurant in Alberta

TLDR; Julian was first cook I ever worked with a decade+ ago somewhere else. He yelled and scared poor teenage me a bit that first day, DESPITE THIS I am loyal to his AMAZING food. And I now know line cooks can just be a lil intense sometimes ;). GO EAT HERE.

So, 15ish years ago Julian was the first cook I ever worked with as a waitress in a small town hotel. Not gonna lie, the man intimidated me that cold winter morning at 5:30am as I was learning the ropes of the restaurant world. As cooks can be, he was loud, a bit blunt. BUT he put out top tier food.

I come back here years and years later to say I now frequent Asteroid every single summer. My boyfriend and I take pride in being one of the first customers of the season. I have tried (without exaggeration) dozens of homemade burgers across Alberta. It is one of my hobbies haha. The search for the perfect burg. Julian is yet to be beat. Others come close but I always find myself going “good, but it’s not asteroid…”. Top quality ingredients that Julian diligently sources combined with his passion for the culinary world makes this little small town burger place better than any other. Julian knows how to combine flavours & cook them together so you get a little beautiful explosion of heaven in each bite.

Aside from the beef burgers which can’t be beat anywhere in AB as of yet, his fries, gravy & chicken fingers are also INSANE. Delicious. I get a very specific craving for Julian’s chicken fingers that no other tendy can curb.

GO EAT...

Kindest people own this place. When I went to pay after placing my order , I realized that it was cash only. The man at the till (who I also think was the owner ) advised me to go to the cafe next door as they had ATM machine. When I went back to tell him the cafe was closed so I didn’t have enough cash to buy our meals and ice cream, He insisted on giving ice cream cones to me and all 3 of my girls free of charge . When I told him there was no need he insisted by saying that his job wasn’t complete until his costumers were completely satisfied. We enjoyed our ice cream on the house and boy was it sweet!!! So so sweet!!

I also had a burger with mozzarella and guac,( sorry I can’t remember the name of the burger ) and it was so yummy! My daughter had the onion rings which were also super tasty!! Of course the ice cream was refreshing and the atmosphere is so fun!! Obviously the best service ! Kindness and Efficiency!! This place and its staff definitely earned their five...

Rude owner, very poor costumer service! So we stopped by this place on our way back from the museum to get some ice cream. When we came there was no one around and no one in the line. In the middle of our order the man inside started to yell to the boy in front who was serving us ice cream “ Hurry up I need you here” telling him to stop serving us. Apparently some people ordered food ahead of us which we had no clue about. He told us “I thought you would order one scoop I am trying to squeeze you in”. If he had let us know from the beginning we would’ve waited. How are we suppose to know? We are a customer too. I didn’t want the third ice cream because he rushed us. Such a discourteous owner! Honestly I felt bad for the young boy who was working there he seemed very nervous. In the end, their ice cream is pretty average with very little options. Will never be back and don’t recommend anyone to come...
