Campio Brewing Co. — Restaurant in Edmonton

2025-04-11 Update for Richie location

First sorry @shawn I somehow missed your response and never got back to you.

Anyhow checking out the new Campio location at the old Biera site. I am pretty enthusiastic about getting here more often now that my bike is 98% less likely to get stolen here.

Anyway to the first impressions. Place is basically untouched from Biera which is a good thing. Although I got to say that big room could use some sound dampening treatments inside. Of course on this beautiful evening I came for the patio which is awesome.

The funny thing that happened on my inaugural visit here is it was almost the same scenario as my review below. Dropped by after work around 5:45 on Friday and the patio was over half empty. Went inside and was told there was an hour and 45 minute wait. 🤯 So whatever I thought there must be a boatload of reservations and i went back outside to hop back on my bike to another joint. I happened to chat with one of the servers and she didn't know what was going on. So I went back inside. This time I waited about 5 minutes in a small line and was told the same thing. They said it was the kitchen that was backed up but I said I just wanted a beer but no dice. Apparently they were calling in some of the holds. On my second trip back out to the bike to leave the floor manager actually ran up to me and said: no you just want a beer come on in and she immediately seated me on the patio. Apparently there's some miscommunication and confusion and I guess some working out the bugs this week. I've now been on the patio about an hour and it's never been more than half full. 🤷 I do hope they work out these logistics because they turned away at least 20 people that I listened to while I was in line twice.

Anyhow the beer is still great and if the kitchen has calmed down I might try and order something. I do want to honor my deal that I was sitting down for a beer only. 🙂

--Older review below on downtown location--

Five stars for beer and food but minus one for held table policy and getting seated.

Beer and food are excellent but I've had a couple times not being able to get seated, even for a quick solo/duo beer even with empty patio tables.

Once I think they just had to close it down for staffing but it would have been nice to squeeze in on buy, settle up and sit and drink arrangment.

Another time there were 4+ empty picnic tables waiting to seat phantom parties that had not stayed around and were taking ages, if ever to return. I'd say you have to stay to play if it's first come first served. i.e. at least one person has to be there when you are called; or else a strict countdown for 5 minutes when...

My friend and I were in town to see a concert this past weekend and decided to have dinner here since she had raved about it the last time she went (it was my first time). We didn’t make a reservation but decided we would be willing to wait for a table if need be. We got there around 5:45pm and immediately put our name down on the waitlist, we were told it would be about 35 minutes. After waiting the 35 minutes, we received the notification that our table was ready. When we approached the front desk, they seemed surprised it was our turn and started looking for a table for us in the system. After being unsuccessful finding one, the hostess asked if we preferred inside or outside. Surprised by this question I said inside (its middle of October and we weren’t dressed to be sitting outside), when I said that she started saying that the wait time for inside was quite long upwards of an hour. I asked why we weren’t asked our preferred seating area when we first put our names down on the list 35 minutes ago and she replied with “oh you weren’t?” which was interesting since she was standing next to the hostess we spoke to when we arrived. Not wanting to be super late to the concert or having to find another restaurant (we don’t know the area well), we reluctantly agreed to sit outside. The seats/table were not wiped down and dusty and there was only one small heater for the entire patio which was stuck up right against one table leaving everyone else in the cold. The server was nice and attentive to our needs. However, our food was practically cold after the first bite because of how cold it was outside. Overall, very disappointing experience and shocked with how unprofessional the...

My friends and I took our daughters to Campio last night after the street performers and we were compelled to leave a great review. First off we were seated quickly into a very comfortable booth that easily fits 6 people or even 8 possibly. Waters were brought right away and then we were greeted by our super friendly server, Cody. He knew right away to get the kid's food going, they have a kids menu but we opted for the OG pizza for them, pepperoni (be warned that they do the sauce on top as a novelty do if your kids don't like much sauce it's worth mentioning to your server) and some milks. We then decided to share a PB&J pizza and some fully loaded braised rib nachos with all the "fixins". Everything was so delicious and easily fed three adults and two kids. We then got a couple of the cheesecakes and one of the chocolate chip salted cookies for dessert and they were scrumptious!! Nothing left on anyone's plate and great conversations were had as the music wasn't too loud. Oh, I also had a delicious Caesar (thank you Cody for the suggestion) and substituted in tequila (local brand he said) rather than vodka and it was so good. We then realized they had a patio, after we had paid our bill (it was a little bit pricey I'd say but definitely worth the excellent food, service and ambience), so we went and sat out there for a while enjoying the sun and letting the girls get their wiggles out. Like Borat would say: "great success"! We'll be back for sure. Thanks! Andrea PS sorry I didn't take more food pictures...we were...
