The Driftwood - Sylvan Lake, Alberta

It was raining so bad, we were hungry and decided to dine in here. We ordered 5 Tiki Burgers, waited so long (even it was not really busy), and got burned patties without lettuce and tomatoes. Server was still nice but not apologetic. I still gave two stars because they made us new ones after my dad complained. We didn't have to wait that long for the new ones, they served it a bit fast unlike the first time, the patties were ok this time and veggies were included

My concern is, I just don't understand why they still had to serve it even they can literally see that the patties were burned Did they really think that their customers are just gonna eat it like that and won't complain or say anything. If they got some sense they won't serve it. Too bad we didn't check google reviews before going here. Too many bad reviews. It is pricey but not worth it. Sorry but not recommended 👎

Huge patio, Mexico type vibe, great location right across from the beach.

Food was undercooked (chicken), “kubasal”turned out to be a Costco hotdog, mozzarella fingers were still hard frozen,
Burger was half raw, poutine was ok.

Drinks were good. Service was actually really good and definitely apologetic.

The other day we visited this place with a large company. We ordered different dishes, the only thing that was tasty was the Caesar salad and sweet potatoes. In one dish they forgot to put the main ingredients, for this we did not get any discount. The waitress said that it should be like that, but when we showed her how it should be in the menu she was also surprised. The chicken that I ordered was fried in old oil, there was no salt or pepper, it was tasteless. In a word, I do not recommend it.

Loved the patio, didn’t love the food. My burger has so much mayo on it I had to scrape it off and couldn’t eat the bun. Fries are just McCain crinkle cuts , although the sweet potato ones were good. They need a new menu and better food.

We had a great experience here! Came in around 12 pm, greeted by a very friendly server who told us the patio was dog friendly and got our dog some water without us even having to ask. Then our server Austin brought over menus, asked for drink orders and brought back a complimentary treat for our pup. Food and drink was served promptly and the atmosphere makes you feel like you're in California! Overall great experience and we will be back next time we visit.

We were there on Saturday July 16th. It was a fun and dog friendly atmosphere. They brought our dog water and a dog cookie. Great food and service. Delicious pulled pork. Highly recommend.

Always an amazing experience, the Driftwood has creative and refreshing drinks paired with fun foods and prompt service. One of Sylvan's gems for sure. Love that their patio is dog friendly in the summer time!

Very disappointed! Ordered Nachos and Ceasar Salad. Sent the ceasar salad back because it was so very small for $17. It was the size of a side salad not a dinner salad. The Nachos were super disappointing as well. Nachos were $23 , plus $5 for chicken. Chips seamed almost stale, definitely not $5 worth of chicken. Cheese was not melted throughout. It pretty much was a heap of chips. Won't be going back. Not worth the cost. Service was not great either.
