Sunday brunch at Red's - great atmosphere, try sitting at the old-school counter and making a new friend! I had the pulled pork bennie and coffee, not cheap but absolutely worth it! I will 100% be back again!

One of my favorite places in Calgary. Must visit. One time is not enough.
Came here once for brunch with my friends, and I must say it's a nice place to go to. I thought the food was pretty good, mostly because I was craving breakfast food. Left satisfied.
Very busy, very noisy, but very energetic as well. Our waitress was very hospitable with great smile! I ordered Montreal smoked meat hash, very good and I really enjoyed it. My hubby ordered the omelette with apple inside, which tasted so so though. But we will go back there again. Already know what I am going to try next time - blueberry French toast!
Up early today, can't do brunch on the weekend until October, working weekends, so decided to come here for some Eggs Benny. . . perfect and no line up at this time in the morning. Ā I will utilize this option until I can resume my usual favorite of Brunch. Ā Ā I try to come here early as i just do NOT do line ups, this place is so popular that there is almost always a wait.
Probably my favourite breakfast place in the city. They have a great menu - last thing I had was a breakfast sandwich and it was awesome. The pancakes are very good as well.

Me and one of my girlfriends came here for a late lunch today, and she's been here quite a few times but this was my first time here, and I'll say it was probably one of the best breakfast food places in Calgary I've been (I'm normally not huge on breakfast foods for lunch/ dinner). This did not disappoint though. For $17 it was a tiny bit pricy but I would for sure come here again! If you're in the area stop by and give them a shot.
Good breakfast... just on the ore salty side of things.
The suave on the Eggs Benedict too salty. But will try other items if convenient again
Another super popular brunch/all day breakfast instituteĀ that Iāve heard good things about. They have two other locations (Kensington and Ramsay). We decided to check them out on a Saturday morning. Pro tip: download the No Wait app (second time Iāve used it since OEB). Seriously, the best thing ever. We were 16th in line but only had to wait 30 minutes from start to finish. Not bad.
Busy! Excellent service! Got the blueberry basil goat cheese stuffed French toast. Yum. Good vibes. Tried the hash on another plate, could be crisper.

The service was fantastic and I loved the decor. The food was very yummy. I tried the French toast. It was perfection. I also tried the red's potatoes and they were delicious. I would recommend this spot!
A long wait to get in, and nowhere actually to wait other than outside on the street, which sucked on a rainy day (they do have a list though for waiting). They offer coffee while you're waiting, but unfortunately the self serve carafe and cream was empty, and the servers were so busy.
The menu seem to have a lot of good choices, I don't remember it being the best value though price wise. Very tasty.
Decent breakfast offerings bit it's a little pricey for what you get. Recommend ordering there apple juice. It's good but get a large as a medium is really small and the price difference isn't much ($4 versus $5)
There's a reason why there is always a line up for their brunch, it's amazing! The decor has a great vintage flare and their staff are fantastic. I've tried several items on their menu and have loved every single one!
Love their stuffed bluberry french toast and short rib eggs bennie. Addicted for life. Service is subpar but always come back for the amazing food.
One of my good to spots for a great breakfast. I go on the weekends and its usually a 45 minute and up wait but the food is worth it. Definitely recommend going.
Seriously enjoy returning to Red's time after time to find consistency of great food and service. Their scrambles are the largest portions I've seen in town! The Montreal smoked meat one is my favourite, although I can't complain about any of the other menu items I've tried.Ā
It's a busy, bustling joint, especially on weekend mornings, but Red's does a great job of taking down names and sending a text when your table is about to be ready. It's nice to be able to browse the neighbourhood while waiting, but Red's does come and offer coffee to those waiting in line.Ā
I'll. Be. Back.
My favourite breakfast/brunch place in Calgary. Their eggs benedict dishes are fantastic and they really have their hollandaise recipe down perfect - very tasty.
You'll have the odd occasion where you'll get mediocre service or inconsistent food quality, but luckily that's few and far between.
Highly recommended.
This is my favorite place in Calgary for breakfast...anytime of the day.Ā Basic food served by pleasant staff.Ā Great presentation and never greasy!Ā Good coffee and your cup is kept full.Ā Try the sourdough cheese toast, it is worth the trip on its own,Ā Ā Gluten free is handled well with a number of good options.

The decor alone made me love it. The service was great. Plus, it had the thing that I love the most, a menu where I wanted to try virtually everything. I decided on the Mediterranean wrap, with Redās potatoes. Both were seasoned to perfection. Bestie has the Blueberry, Basil and Goat Cheese stuffed French Toast. A delicious, breakfast, lunch, or brunch no matter when you choose it. The person next to us ordered the grilled cheese, and I will just tell you I had food envy when I saw it. It looked amazing, and I will certainly be getting the next time. All in all, this is a great little place.
I have always had a positive experience at Red's. The servers are always lovely and the food is great. The Pacific Eggs Benny I had this time was lovely and with the poached eggs perfectly done (big points for me). This place is really well know, so expect a wait when you arrive (arrived be sure to grab some of the coffee arrived the front door while you wait).
Great eggs Bennie. Braised beef short rib Bennie was awesome. Relaxed vibe and very friendly staff (Amanda was super nice). Will be back!
I love Red's on 4th. My husband and I come here all the time. I come for the atmosphere, the service and the food. It's one of the few breakfast restaurants that actually has a variety that I enjoy. So often I have a hard time choosing what I want, but I get over it and pick something.
I love the staff and go enough that I've had a chance to talk to them here and there. Red's has a very eclectic staff and I think that really adds to the atmosphere.
As long as Red's continues their happy uniqueness (and happy staff) I'll keep going.
All day breakfast! :D. We were looking for breakfast on a Monday afternoon and we found this place!
Staff were friendly but not overbearing and the restaurant was clean. The atmosphere was warm and lively. Coffee was prompt and delicious. I had the Prairie breakfast with sourdough cheese toast. The perogies were flavourful and came with a generous serving of sour cream. The big breakfast had a generous serving size - upgraded to the blueberry pancake which was large and moist.
The hash browns were mediocre. They were unevenly spiced, definitely not the highlight of the meal. The eggs (medium poached and over easy) were cooked exactly as ordered and balanced the dishes nicely.
We would visit again!
Amazing!. Great staff and very nice cozy place!
Great eggs benny too!
Always busy so sometimes there is a bit of a wait but it's all worth it!!
Smoked Meat Hash and Eggs. Montreal smoked meat hash with eggs is an incredibly tasty breakfast. It will fill you up and is a great morning after pleaser.
Great food. A little bit expensive for a breakfast diner, but the location is convenient. The atmosphere is quite cozy, and it is often quite busy, especially on the weekends. You will usually be waiting for a table at peak hours.
Great selection and yummy food!. Went here with my bf and friend today for brunch. I had the smoked meat hash and eggs. It was delicious and I could not finish the plate. Only complaint being the home fries were overcooked. My friend, who rarely eats meat, was impressed with the amount of options on the menu that would cater to her. I tried her Caprese Benedict and I would definitely order it for myself. My bf got the Big Breakfast and hit the spot for his seemingly bottomless stomach. It was a Friday afternoon and not that busy so service was efficient. Will be back for sure.
Best Breakfast in town. Me and my GF always come here. It is one of the best places in town. Good service (usually) and good food. Right price for servings. When something goes wrong and we tell our server they take it off the bill or take care of it all together. Mistakes happen but it is how you handle those mistakes that matter. Favorite by far!
Big Breakfast. Always get the big breakfast at Red's! Although I think the quality of the food has gone down a little (maybe cutting costs on food) I will continue to go there. The servers are always charming and it has a good atmosphere.
Have been here a couple times, ordered the Egg's Benny and it was delicious. Thought I'd be healthy the second time and order the quinoa, and it was very dry and unappetizing. It could definitely use some fruit. I'll stick to the eggs benny next time.
My favorite breakfast place in cal, the food is fantastic and consistently so. Recommended the margarita omelette, the veggie burger and they do a cracking Benny. The best part of reds is the service, everyone is so nice and extremely efficient. Can be a little wait to get in but definitely worth it. See you Sunday reds!
Happy to live so close!. Live two blocks away. Wish I had tried more of the menu to be honest but the once a month I go I keep going back to the 4th St Benny. So darn good. Thanks very much.
Great place. Food and service was great.
I do not like pancakes but had a craving, perhaps because Stampede week, and was the best pancake I ever had.
I would definitely go back.
And bonus they serve you coffee outside if you are waiting in line.
AWESOME!. The wait staff here is really attentive and awesome!
Best pancakes I have ever had!
What a great little spot. Very reasonable prices, food was very good, as was the service. Reds is cozy and warm, but avoid the tables close to the door on a cold day!!
Red's Diner. We went in on a recommendation and was impressed. Great food moderately priced . Great service and FAST. Great place to be and can't wait to try the second location due to open soon
Great potatoes. Went here with a friend looking for hangover breakfast and found this place on our walk.
I order the eggs benedict, just the regular one. I felt a little worried about the benedict sauce, this one was very lemony and slightly sweet, which I thought was weird but worked amazingly. I would definitely come back after trying all the great breakfast places in Calgary.
Never fails to please. Always busy here. tables are first come first serve, so expect to wait a little bit. service can range a little bit at this place. This time my waitress really sucked, shes lucky the food made up for it. Great food. Try the pacific salmon benedict, it is amazing. They usually have specials of the day as well, those are usually something worthwhile to check out.
So FRESH!. ..Heard amazing things.. decided to go on lunch hour.. late lunch! thick cut toast that melts in your mouth, fluffiest egg omlette i have ever tasted, chunk style hashbrowns to die for!.
Highly recommend!
I had the margarita omlette with multigrain toast.
Fantastic
Great atmosphere, love the breakfast bar!

Like it. I had the short Rib hash (I think that's what it was called) and loved it. Service was kind of slow, but for me that's n ot a problem. I don't mind sitting a sipping away on my coffee. My girlfriend had the eggs benny and liked it. all in all an good spot if you don't miond the lineup.

Incredible.. Breakfast is my thing. I've dined at absolutely every breakfast joint large and small in Calgary. Reds diner, though experiencing growing pains at first is the best in town! The servers are all sassy wonderful tattooed women who tend to the needs of the regulars like nannies, listening to life stories and remembering names of children, when they have time. it's a wonderful atmosphere to be in. The food is incredible furthermore, anyone stating it is bland obviously must not have been there in the last year. Everything that can possibly be is sourced locally and as fresh as possible. The owner of reds promotes local businesses and job opportunities and is a great local opportunist for the community. Everytime I go I sit at the bar, I learn more about the people that work at Reds and even have made some very interesting friends. There's a reason it's always lined up, and both kitchen staff and serving staff work their butts off and it shows!
I truly believe the negative reviews are bologna, you are missing out if you don't give this great little place a try.
This is a diner with great things in it's future, anyone who walked away from it missed out on great music and culture and friends.
I enjoy it there.. These guys are fun to be around. Been there for 2 years.
Here on a Monday for some brunch and it was busier than usual for a weekday but still great service. Lots of room to sit but on the weekends they do get very busy so come early. Great food and friendly service. Clean restaurant and really cool country meets modern day theme.
Great quality food and service. I love that there's hot sauce, ketchup, salt and pepper at every table. The restaurant has one accessible washroom on the main floor and gendered washrooms down a flight of stairs. The restaurant entrance may not be wheelchair accessible because it has one step before the door.
Itās been a minute since weāve visited Redās for brunch, and like always, the service was wonderful. The Pacific Benny (my fave) never disappoints. They serve all day breakfast and have many locations through the city.
This is one of my favourite breakfast places I've ever been to; it reminds me of simpler times and the importance of slowing life down just a little bit. Thank you so much for your hospitality and the fantastic all-day breakfast.
Edit: I updated my review to add another star. I have recently been reminded of how much I miss this place. Red's is heads and shoulders above a lot of the other places.
Great weekend brunch spot! They really have their system on lock, we showed up at 11 on a Saturday and there was a table available. After we ordered food came out right away and our server never let our coffee cups get empty. They definitely turn over fast, which is great as you likely never have to wait even at super busy times. Because of that I wouldn't recommend if you're looking for something more leisurely, but I like to be in and out quick at breakfast so I appreciate the speediness!
Montreal smoked meat hash is amazing, a little pricey but I ended up taking most of it home so definitely great value for two days of food! Husband got the brie and bacon benny, which he said was also good but he wished it had more brie. But hey, cheese prices are stupid rn so it made sense. Hashbrowns and hollandaise were really good too. they have Valentina and Frank's on the tables so you get your pick of hot sauces. Will be going back!
Great food, outstanding service! The restaurant is a nice down home feel atmosphere. The staff is friendly, personable and attentive. You have to eat here, you wonāt be disappointed! š
Will be back again, be warned they get pretty busy on Sunday mornings, but they always have such great and friendly service. Drinks and food are worth the slightly more pricey cost. All around great diner for a solid feed of breakfast that won't disappoint!!
Nice diner. Huge portions. Chai latte was amazing. Good and quick service.
