Courteous service and a fun roadside stop on the drive between Edmonton and Calgary that is an alternative to Gasoline Alley. We had great friendly service!

Haven’t been here for many many years but we grabbed lunch here on the way home to Calgary. We ordered a couple of coffees and a large bowl of Clam Chowder Soup as well as a hot roast beef sandwich with fries. The soup was good and very filling. There was plenty of roast beef and the fries were the star of the dish - fresh and crisp on the outside but soft in the middle. Also the coffee was pretty good for a diner. We also grabbed a piece of coconut cream pie to go. However it was clearly not homemade so. Bit of a let down. Overall still pretty good.

I don't like their beef patties in burgers, it is just plain, I can't taste any seasoning in it and taste is like plain ground beef. Coffee is not great too, watery and always stale. I hope they improve in near future. I might try it one more time to see if they got any better. I like it inside, it is cozy and waitress is very friendly but they need to to improve.

Little gem of a place off Hwy 2 at Bowden. Wonderful homemade diner food and milkshakes. Worth the stop!

This diner serves up classic comfort food done right! Skip the usual highway stops and discover this gem, brimming with classic Americana charm. The food is decent, the restaurant is spotless, and the staff (possibly the owners) are fantastic. It's a unique experience!

Pleased to have finally stopped in. The ambiance is reminiscent of Men in Black and the movie Paul. The atmosphere is quite distinctive.
The waitresses were humorous and attentive, providing prompt service and regularly checking in to ensure our satisfaction.
The food was a decidedly average dining experience, offering a sampling of the daily menu. We opted for the Monte Cristo and Caesar salad, both of which met our expectations.
The chef's spin on a traditional salad, dubbed the Crop Circle salad, was fairly portioned, as was the side order of fries with gravy, which boasted a robust beef flavor, a welcome change of pace.
We both ordered pies, which were fairly sized, as evident in the accompanying photographs. Overall, it was a great dining experience.
Very nice 60’s style diner with great food and our waitress was absolutely amazing, would recommend the steak sandwich

Have driven by with my family on highway #2 trips many times and have always wanted to stop and have a meal here. Why didn't we do so sooner was my first thought after an excellent meal. Great attention to detail on all the menu options we tried today. Very pleased with gluten free options and fast friendly service. The decor must also be experienced for an eclectic mix of vintage and futura.

arrived and was seated by a waiter, he brought over a cup of coffee and a water and came back to take our orders. once we ordered, that was the last we saw of the waiter. we sat for 50 minutes before a waitress cleaned a booth beside us and we asked her for a second cup of coffee. after an hour and 15 minutes with no food or refills (besides the one we had to ask a different server for) we left and went to A&W next door. had the original waiter come by and apologized for the delay or even come by to top up drinks we would’ve stayed, but sitting for 50 minutes with zero service is crazy

Their French dip sandwich is unbelievably good. Staff is friendly and the dinner itself is very interesting and full of character.
Most important part though is that the food slaps and its at a really good price
