This is a little treasure. I was put off by the number of reviews focusing on "dirty" but this place is clean. It's just worn and comfy like an old sweater and that's part of the charm. Breakfast was fast and a genuine home-style diner. Service was friendly. Give it a try.
Do not let the exterior turn you away! This place is fantastic! I work very close to The Deerhead and I have never been disappointed with anything that I have ever gotten. The breakfasts are simple but perfectly executed and all the lunch items are varied and delicious!
Good food, service and price ...and that's all you need! None of that frilly foo foo shizzazle. If you want that get some tight jeans and some pretientious friends and wait 1 hour in line for breakfast at an overpriced diner.

Our new favorite spot!. Our frist time there was exactly how I pictured it based on the reviews I read,it was exactly what I was looking for! I love the décor and small town diner feel. Reminded me of childhood days growing up in small town New Brunswick. Very nice staff and everyone is friendly.
13 years I have go e to this place. Calgary's BEST greasy spoon. I only eat breakfast here. Nice family business. Someone needs to nominate them for a restaurant make over. Love the front door.
Really tasty and cheap.if you want beautiful surroundings this is NOT the place however food and service were very good.you could show up in pjs and still feel slightly overdressed :)
Great prices, good food. Old place with old decorations, but an overall great breakfast spot. The food is well priced and quite good. Very friendly service. Loved it!
Don't let the scary front door scare you off! The staff was lovely and pleasant and the food was great!
What's not to love?. Don't be scared of the building or the decor!
Any place that has been around this long HAS to be doing something right!
Great food, decently priced!
Go! Now!
Great Food. Great Greasey Spoon. Ive been going here for years. You never have to ask for a coffee fillup and the food is quick, hot and yummy. You can get a breakfast for under ten bucks and be very satisfied!
Don. Some might call it old retro but this place hasn't changed its decor in more than 50 years, I remember going there as a kid and the only things missing or changed is the pinball machines are gone. The food is good and cheap and I have taken friends there who first balked at the decor but they keep coming back because of the food and service and the deerhead over the kitchen.
At Deerhead Cafe, the prices and the menu are old fashioned. My $6.50 bacon and cheese omelette arrives hot and fast, with a crispy side of hash browns and “white or brown” toast. For about the same price, I could order something you don’t see on modern menus: pork chops and eggs. In all, it’s a decent breakfast, with a heaping amount of character.
