This saucy burger spot has created an ultimate Stampede sandwich with the Saucy Q.
This sandwich is a 4 oz smashed Alberta Beef patty, topped with a house-made BBQ sauce and crispy onions, and then smothered in Saucy Burger’s signature cheese sauce.
The best part is, from 2 to 4 pm every day of the Stampede, you can get two for the price of one.

Ideal for a pre- or post-rodeo meal, Donna Mac has developed a coursed Stampede menu.
There are three starters to share, like the mini corn dogs with kewpie mayo and jalapeño relish, and then the main course — either a burger, perogies, or chicken sandwich — finished off with a sweet chocolate chunk cookie.
