Strangely I've never been to this Edmonton institution until now. We arrived at 11:00 to a line-up but it moved quickly. Service was very friendly although understandably hurried. I ordered the eggs benedict from a huge selection and range of sizes. It was good; the eggs were cooked soft the way I asked. I swapped out the potatoes for toast (and then ate my wife's potatoes) and the bread was definitely above standard. The only weak area was the coffee. They gave us a carafe but it wasn't particularly hot 🔥 or good. If that's my only complaint I would say that they're doing quite well. 5 out of 5 stars.

Breakfast at Haps Hungry House. This restaurant is very busy but they still Found us a table quickly out on the covered patio. Coffee comes in a hurry and your cup is never empty as they bring a thermal pot for you to have at the table. Ordered eggs Benedict and ham and eggs for the table. Waitress warns us that the kitchen is very busy and the wait could be longer thank usual.
Breakfast arrive in under 15 min and piping hot. Ham is a slice of a ham roast fries with a ring of caned pineapple and served with thick roast, hash browns and eggs. Old fashioned ham and eggs for breakfast. Eggs Benedict comes with rich and creamy hollandaise, a very good mix. Eggs are cooked perfectly, and served with hash browns.
Staff are fabulous! Friendly, chatty, helpful and attentive. Menu has lots of choices with affordable prices.
Great classic, great service an old school restaurant.

Yummm! I'm always on the hunt for good eggs Benny and this one passes the test! The hollandaise actually has flavour - unlike a lot of places. The potatoes on the side are yummy too but could use a touch more flavour. I'm impressed! And I'm quite picky.

We were seated instantly, given water and coffee right away, and our server was super quick to come take our order! It was very fast paced but you weren't pushed to finish your food and go. It was extremely homey and the food was great- the best eggs benny I've had thus far and the hunger buster #1 was... overwhelming! I will definitely go back.

Been Going to Hap's for Almost 10 Years. Hap's used to be a quick drive from my home when I first moved to Edmonton. I've now moved and my family is still going to Hap's almost 10 years later, regardless of the 25 minute drive it takes us to get there now.

I'm not really a big fan of breakfast foods, but Hap's never ceases to amaze me. It is one of the few places where I'm not shy with trying out different things from the menu each time I go. They are so generous with their food and give tons of it. Their home fries are delicious and if I pick a dish that doesn't have them, I either order a side or pick them off whoever's eating with me. If you're not a big fan of breakfast foods either, they have a great selection on their menu but I do suggest you give it a try anyways. The staff is also always so great and accommodating with substitutions or such.

I suggest getting there early on the weekends as I find it gets very packed around noon and there ends up being a wait (but it is so worth it).

Love the old school diner atmosphere. With the growing trends of restaurants that focus more on the ambiance and menu design than the actual service and food, Haps was a refreshing change. I met a friend here for a mid afternoon lunch, I was craving breakfast and had always heard great things. There is lots of parking and signage so you can't miss it, I arrived early and the server brought me a water while I waited. The restaurant was bustling with people coming in and going out, a mish mash of locals, regulars and families. I ordered the eggs benedict AND a side of hollandaise because there's nothing like dipping home fries in a rich creamy sauce and that's exactly what happened. My friend ordered the french toast which smelled as good as they looked and we sat and caught up for a long time without feeling rushed even though we realized they were closing in about 30 minutes. It's a diamond in the rough for breakfast places that's for sure, if you're looking for something different give it a shot!

Solid breakfast place. Service is fast and friendly. Food is above average but not incredible. Hollandaise was homemade which was a pleasant surprise. Atmosphere and decor are both surprisingly nice given the neighborhood.

I first heard about this place in 2006 and for some reason this morning was my first time there after driving by maybe over 1000 times in the last 8 years. Very good. I had a veggie omelette and pancakes on the side. Food was neat and tasted good, huge pancakes, and good service too. I'll be going back for sure, but hopefully not in -29 like this morning.

Neat place for breakfast with decent prices. Food is above average in quality but plenty of it. They leave a coffee pot which is nice. Other tables got a water jug and we had to ask.

The waitress we had was friendly and funny. However, I got regular tea instead of earl grey. Oh well, I did not mention until the bill came because why waste it. However, I was charged the higher price for the earl grey. When I mentioned it she made a joke. And yes it's only 20 cents however she did not correct or apologize. Hence she got a 10% tip instead of the normal.

We will go back as it is a unique place in Edmonton and we need more independent restaurants.

Great breakfast spot in the westend. I like supporting local breakfast spots because Edmonton doesn't have many good ones. It's worth what you pay and great service. I will be coming back again.

Love the food. They have the best eggs Benedict in town. However service is terrible. This is partially due to the staff and mostly due to not having enough staff.

You won't leave hungry. Good portions, tasty food, good service, good price... no complaints! Pancakes are fluffy, eggs benedict is the best in the city. This place is way better than the well known diners in Edmonton.

Consistently good. Tha Dawg is a west end boy and Haps is a west end institution. Good 'stick-to-your-ribs' breakfast - great for one alone, a couple, or the whole fam damily. Here's what Tha Dawg does - order a Hunger Buster, let the Mrs. order something less substantial, then share some of the HB. Here's another great tip - spring to fall, Haps has a great outdoor patio if you want to get away from the enthusiastic but noisy crowd inside - throw on your shades and tackle that Hunger Buster in the open air! Awesome. Bottomless coffee and great service. 8.5 out of 10.

HUNGER BUSTER. Breakfast at Hap's. Serving breakfast for over 27 years. Greeted with a smile were asked to choose any table we please. We take a seat right by a window and in front of the daily specials. Coffee for two and were greeted with our own coffee jug.Soon after receiving our menus I decide on hunger buster 2 because of my inability to devour hot cakes I sub for French toast. Bacon, pork side, and breakfast sausage for my three meats along with three over easy eggs and two pieces of brown toast, my feast is ready to be made!

Unfortunately this feast took a bit over half an hour but it was well worth it.This thing was massive! With barely any room left at our table we began to devour our meal. After setting down my plate the waitress wanted to take my eggs back into the kitchen because they didn't look right but I said they were fine, which they were anyways but I was still impressed with the level of service!

I started with the hashbrowns that were browned to perfection. Slightly crispy on the outside and perfectly soft inside just how I like them. Eggs were runny enough to dip my Texas toast in and the bacon was flavor country. The perfect fat to meat ratio. Last but not least, the french toast. I haven't had french toast in a while so this was a great refresher. Fluffy and light with semi sweet syrup, I couldn't stop eating even though I was beyond full. After all that I still had a piece of toast left that wasn't happening. This was a great experience and I hope to return soon.

Greasy-spoon items made to Gourmet standards. This is not a fancy brunch place, a place to go as a treat. It's a place to get staples like bacon & eggs made swiftly and precisely. We go there if too tired to cook at home or too busy to restock the fridge. Little details come out as demanded- whatever texture you prefer your egg yolks or bacon, that is what you get. As a non-pork person, I really appreciate their offering beef sausages both in link or patty form. They carry good-quality multigrain bread, which is another option I value. There is a bin at the desk with newspapers, which is a nice time-killer when eating alone... not that you have to wait much!
I haven't tried their desserts, burgers etc, only breakfast, so all I can tell you is that the breakfast is flawless.
As for service: They are usually crowded so I hate to mess up their efficiency by making special requests, but sometimes I do anyway. My guy isn't fond of the heavy greasiness of hashbrowns as a side to an omelette, and habitually asks for tomato slices as a substitute. They always do as asked with no fuss, and always have nice tomatoes. Another time we noticed that the liquid soap in the bathroom left a VERY strong smell on the hands that no amount of scrubbing could remove, which is unpleasant, especially when one's getting finger foods like fries, toast, sandwiches. Well, we pointed this out to our server, and guess what?! Next visit, they had switched to a nice subtle soap! Talk about aiming to please, eh!

3.5/5 for Hap's. Breakfast is always one of the most fun meals to eat out. Who doesn't love eating a big delicious meal, and then having the whole day ahead of them? It's a great start to a day!

I tried Hap's for the first time on Saturday morning. Truthfully, I had never heard of it, but a friend recommended it for a group meal. The place was very busy upon arriving, and was lined up out the door, so it's obviously very popular. The wait for our table for 6 actually wasn't THAT long - I can think of other places that would have taken far longer. The place is decently cute. It looks a bit like they're going for a country cottage theme, but aren't quite all the way there.

The service was actually pretty nice. We were brought coffee right away and were treated attentively the whole time. They didn't give us too much of a hard time that we were holding a larger table and not everyone in our party was present right away. While waiting for the rest of our party, I looked over the menu, which was quite long and offered many options. All of the choices sounded very good and the "Hunger Busters" were pretty funny options because they contained SO MUCH FOOD. I had heard that their eggs benedict were pretty good, so I decided to go with them. I chose the Benedict 1 (2 poached eggs, one meat choice, on an english muffin topped with hollandaise sauce. Served with home fries - $9.95) which came with your choice of either back bacon, ham, pastrami, strip bacon, or pork link. I went with the pastrami in order to have something different. While the food took a while to come out, I found it understandable since we were in a party of 6 and the restaurant was so busy on top of that.

Mostly the dish was pretty standard. Nothing completely shocking about it - but that isn't a bad thing either. First of all, I absolutely loved the choice of having the pastrami. It was a nice switch from the norm and the salty cured flavour was perfect. Every place's hollandaise is a different experience. This one was different from every other that I've tried. It was very creamy and had a more buttery thick consistency then others... But it was very tasty and good. The potatos on the side, while standard, were crispy and good as well. All in all, it was a tasty and satisfying meal. Not much more then you could really need.

They seemed to take quite a while to collect our bill/money, but regardless, I was mostly happy with the experience. The value for the money was above standard, I felt.

Eggs Benny Excellent!. This weekend I revisited Hap's after a bit of time away touring other breakfast spots. Hap's still has the best zing to their Benny sauce.

(?) I didn't notice smaller portion size at my table or any of the tables in my area of the restaurant...and I have to admit that I do look at what folks order while I head to my seat...it helps me decide what I might order.
