Lunch In Spruce Grove: No Longer Fast Food Or Bust
Have you ever stepped out of your home or office at lunchtime to grab takeout in Parkland, Alberta, and found yourself behind a long lineup at your local fast food joint?
You have to wonder if at least one person in that lineup thought, “Well. That’s 30 minutes of my time I’ll never get back again.”
Not to mention: all of you will remember the reason why fast food is so fast because it is processed and so much more. It’s just not what you would call great food.
There is a way to get that time back and still have an elevated dining experience you will always remember.
And it’s not that far down Highway 16A.
Sure, along the way you will be inundated with the siren call of the same fast food brands. But, you are only headed in one direction: Barbacoa in Spruce Grove.
Hallmarks of a great lunch spot
With so many places to choose from for a great lunch spot, why make the stop to dine–in or takeout at Barbacoa?
Simple: it all comes down to more than the quality of the food or drink menu.
It’s also more than the quick and friendly service, endless cups of coffee—even when two will do—and a burger that will make your coworkers jealous.
It’s all of this and more.
It’s a go–to magical lunch experience unlike any other magical lunch experience, and you will know it as soon as you walk in the door.
You can count on the reliability of drinks, ambiance, and flamed charred meat. And you can also count on a familiar smell of flavourful smoke, and a balance between music and environment that reflects one of the best restaurants in Edmonton.
Barbacoa for lunch
Once you step inside Barbacoa, you get an idea of what all the reviews from local guides and guests are fussing about. Some local guides have called its inviting space a mix of rustic meets woodsy industrial charm.
And when it comes to lunch, you won’t be too fussy with the BBQ pulled pork tacos or the brie burger or the BBQ blue cheese burger. In fact, you won’t find anything on the menu inside of a fast food chain anywhere this side of Edmonton—or maybe even Canada!
The variety of menu options makes for the hardest part of your experience. You can choose from appetizers to bowls to mains and steaks as well as sides. It meets everyone’s needs.
More importantly, is the fact that your purchase at a fast food restaurant goes back into that chain of restaurants.
Your purchase at Barbacoa goes back to its community. It buys locally from local suppliers with a focus on fresh ingredients, including beef, buns, artisan cheese and so much more.
Order online when you’re short on time
There will be days where you are not able to make it to Barbacoa for brunch. Maybe you work onsite or remotely and just can’t get away.
And that’s okay. There is always takeout.
You can now order online from Barbacoa, and heck: show up in your pajamas to pick up your lunch!
It is conveniently located in your neighbourhood just off Century Road, or a quick jaunt off the Yellowhead of Henday.
The ingredients are fresh, the spirits are fine and the fire is always lit.
