I've never had anything less than a great experience here, man the bennies are super good. I also like the coffee cups. The servers are really friendly too, and you can use the cjsw friends card, that's a plus

I had the apple bacon crepes. It was a large portion and tasty. However, a bit dry. Some maple syrup would have made them perfect.

I never leave Red's hungry, the coffee can wake the dead, and it's a neat restaurant.One of the best breakfasts in YYC.

I went here this morning with my mom and my aunt, which was a huge regret.As soon as we entered, before we were even seated, our server was extremely anxious, which confused me, because the restaurant was almost empty.Most of my meal was okay, but my scrambled eggs were wet. It's pretty easy to cook scrambled eggs past that point, but I got them slightly raw. It was so disgusting I couldn't finish.To make the experience worse, my mom's entire order was messed up (as you can read in Dwayne Williams' comment).I was truly disappointed and disgusted, especially when I'm not actually really that picky about my food usually, I knew if even my order was screwed up, that this place sucks.

I visited Red's today with my sister and daughter.A place I don't usually don't usually go to, but my sister insisted, so I reluctantly went, knowing I had a horrible experience 3 years or so ago prior, already.So we placed our orders.I ordered a simple enough order, being two poached eggs, gluten-free avocado toast, with applewood crispy bacon.My order came completely wrong, my bacon didn't come, the avocado didn't come, my eggs were ice-cold, and I asked for another slice of toast, which I was charged $3 extra for.When the bill came, I didn't get a compromise on the price, I got charged for the chef's mistake and the waiter's mistake, coming to $74.87, I tipped, which brought the bill to $92.77.This whole experience was horrible, beyond horrible. So, you got my money, which by the way I work very hard to get, but I will never walk into your restaurant again.I was extremely disappointed and upset, and after spending $100 in restaurant, I came home to make a little snack, because I was still hungry.If I could possibly have rated this below 0 stars I would've in every aspect. In my opinion, this place is awful, and I highly suggest to not eat here.

This is the closest Red's to me and it can come in handy on lazy Saturday or Sunday morning. TAT for food preparation is pretty quick, but time to get sitting can be a pain in the tummy.The host that tried to sit us in during my last visit did a very poor job of cleaning the table before sitting us there, so we could barely put our hands on the table or even the menu for that matter. But Marco came and saved the day. Food is always excellent here and it can make up for the time spent waiting in line.

Great diner. Real diner food, but cleaner and healthier. They use local everything they can.Wonderful service, great menu, and you're treated so kindly and checked in by multiple servers. Not just yours.What are you waiting for!?! Open 7am -3pm.ENJOY!!Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options as well as some vegan.Dietary restrictions: They will accommodate any requests you have (if they can)I would wat here when dieting for shows and photo shoots with zero issues.Parking: Usually street parking. If there's not park in Safeway and walk a block.

I’ve been here a few times, and each visit has always been great! Their food is excellent—though the potatoes can seem a little greasy. Servers are all nice and wonderful. Overall great place!
