There is steak and then there is steak sizzled on the grill at the Cowboy BBQ Cookout in the heart of the Rockies. Is there a difference? Ah..duh.. YES, Pard'ner!

First, you choose your ride. Depending on whether your are feeling like Cowboy or Pioneer, you have the choice between horse or wagon. Either way, breathtaking scenery abounds all the way to your Western destination awaiting you at Mile 3.

As the talented Cookout Crew get to fixin' your meal, there is plenty of fun to rustle up. Try your hand at playing Horseshoe or by testing out your lasso skills. Yes, I said lasso.

With your appetite nicely worked up, you saddle up to your table and enjoy your meal: Alberta Beef steak, perfect potatoes, baked beans made from scratch, crisp salad, and tasty squares, I assure you, there's nothing like it in Banff. 

Oh, and then there is the voyage home. With your belly full and you feeling a little more John Wayne than before you left, the unmatched views of the Sulphur Mountain Trail and the Windy Knoll will be the perfect cherry on this experience.

Don’t forget your camera!!!! It’s not usually the first thing I say when I’m talking about restaurants, but you really will be mad if you leave your camera at the wrong end of the gondola ride. Sky Bistro is perched at the top of Sulphur Mountain and to say the views are magnificent is an understatement. If you can pull your gaze away from the view for long enough to peruse the menu, you’ll find fabulous dishes like venison (roespeck-wrapped loin served with winter veggies, apple & pear purée, with cherry & black sage ‘pipe’-fortified glaze…) or a sage & thyme polenta with BC-foraged mushrooms, balsamic sherry-roasted heirloom tomato, sweet potato purée, and cashew crème fraîche. 

Order á là carte or purchase a dinner package that includes your gondola ticket. Check the website to see if there’s a special event series like the Winemakers’ Dinner Series that pairs tastings from BC wineries with stunning views and superb dining. Must stop. Have run out of superlatives.

Comfy booths, great cowboy-themed artwork and photos, mountain and river views in all directions, and selections from the grill cooked to perfection! That’s what’s waiting for you at Chuck’s! Really want a treat? Try the wagyu, that marbled, fine-grained meat renowned for its mouth-melting deliciousness. Not sure what wine to pair with your aged bone-in striploin? Indulge in a great conversation with your server - no matter who’s working, Chuck’s is well-known for excellent, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful service! (You know, how service is supposed to be). Looking for something lighter? Try the warm brie salad with beets, carrots, parsnips, cranberries and almonds. Yummy!

Don’t even think about leaving without having a look at the dessert menu. I dare you to pass up the Mud Pie Bomb - espresso ice cream, caramelized white chocolate and candied pecans are exactly the right way to finish a meal at Chuck’s!
