Lil’ Empire is expanding—again—and this time it’s coming to the core.Text Here
Calgary’s burger game just got a serious upgrade. Lil’ Empire, the local smash-burger legend, is opening a brand new location in the Beltline on Thursday, June 12—and here’s why it matters.
It’s One of the Best Burgers in the City
No filler, no gimmicks—just house-ground Alberta beef, smashed to crispy perfection, layered with cheese, fried onions, pickles, lettuce, and a sauce that somehow makes everything taste nostalgic. If you know, you know.
This Location Has Actual Seating
Unlike some of their smaller outposts, the new Beltline location has space to sit and stay awhile. You can finally enjoy your burger without balancing it on your knee in a parking lot.
It’s Their Fourth Spot—So They Know What They’re Doing
With locations already killing it in Bridgeland, Capitol Hill, and at Annex Ales, this isn’t some scrappy experiment. Lil’ Empire knows how to serve a line and keep quality high. The Beltline is just the next empire outpost.
Lil’ Empire – Beltline
