Boogies Burger

One of Calgary's oldest burger joints, Boogie's Burgers has been serving up juicy hamburgers and funky milkshakes to wash them down since 1969. With two locations in Calgary, it is truly a local hotspot no matter what time of year it is. Vintage arcade games and retro decor adorn the shops while happy customers chow down on colossal burger combinations made from 100 per cent Alberta beef alongside dozens of milkshake concoctions.

Closing their doors for several months this spring meant that no one could enjoy the true Boogie's vibe, but that didn't stop them from serving up their original creations for takeout and curbside pickup. As a precaution to their staff and their valued customers, Boogie's chose to keep their dine-in area closed for a bit longer, but are still whipping up burgers, fries and shakes like they always do for you to order out.

You can support Boogie's Burgers by ordering food for takeout or delivery during this time. Once they reopen their doors, they will happily welcome you and your friends to enjoy their vintage vibe once again. For now, you can order your meal online and then call for a pick up time so that Boogie's can space out customers during Calgary's recovery period.
