Was an amazing meal. Good food. Came out fast. The bread pudding was to die for.

We had breakfast here this morning and it was extremely disappointing. We ordered lattes and what we got tasted like watery hot chocolate. I got the rancheros for food and it was horrible. Fried eggs on top of crunchy brown rice with a pile of cheddar cheese on top that looked like it was microwaved. The salsa made it watery and just not good. Probably one of the worst breakfasts I’ve had in a very long time. The server was nice and it’s a cute little place inside but unfortunately we won’t be back!

First time going there and there’s no parking. The atmosphere is okay. The food was terrible. I ordered a Caesar salad with lemon chicken. The chicken was so overcooked and disgusting. The waitresses was told that the chicken was awful but she didn’t take it off the bill. She saw it wasn’t consumed but charged me anyway. I would not recommend this restaurant. Also the Caesar salad was like the one you buy from Costco, nothing special at all. I would expect a homemade salad??? Also didn’t feel well afterwards, upset stomach

I got a cinnamon bun to go. Nothing like I remember and nothing like pictures in the other reviews. Disappointed

Highly praised for their cinnamon buns by my conference website, I went here to get just that.
Day 1 (evening): I realized that they run out of the buns early in the day due to high demand and that I should have called ahead and checked. So, for then, I settled for a Beetroot Dill Soup. Watery and flavourful. There was a patch of cream on top, it was sour. It enhanced the taste of the soup when mixed.
I initially got the small one, and then it was so good that I again got a large one.
------- Day 2 (fore-noon) I came again the next day, this time calling and confirming upfront.
The Cinnamon Bun. It was soft inside, and cinnamon-sugary and crisp on the outside. The bottom of the bun felt well-roasted. We got a half and half of the cream cheese and caramel accompaniments. (a) Cream cheese was salted and sweet. (b) Bourbon caramel sauce was also good, we poured it on the bun. And that was very sufficient for the two buns for the two of us.
I was so impressed with it that I got two more buns with both accompaniments to-go over our air travel to share it with a friend we were going to visit in Kitchener/Toronto the next day.
Typical diner interiors and experience, and nominally priced food.

My friend & I enjoyed our visit here. Something you can’t really help is its loud because its popular & busy. Otherwise its a beautiful location with good food & decent service. Will go again.

What an unbelievably terrible experience I had at the High Level Diner this morning. My partner and I were sat down at the exact same time as a party of 7. By the time the party of 7 were half way done their meal no one had even bothered to take our drink order. We walked out and again no one acknowledged us. I will never, ever return again. What terrible, terrible service you have.
i went here on a sunday around 9am, it wasn’t overly busy but around 9:30-10 it can get very busy, the place is small so makes sense. i would recommend going early so there’s no wait. but overall the food was good, i liked how the bacon wasn’t fatty at all and the hash browns were cooked perfectly. the only downside was the food was a little cold, tasted like it was sitting in the warmer light, probably from waiting for the salmon benedict which i also got. and the toast was a little hard but overall i was pleasantly surprised at this diner after it being my first time. the prices are pretty good as well. only $34 for two people.

we just had lunch at the high level diner in Edmonton and it was spectacular. the service was really good. the atmosphere was eclectic and kind of retro and very pleasing to the eye. the food was amazing and the portions are huge and the prices were not. The spinach pie was such a large piece that my friends split it and it was still a lot of food. I had the gluten-free eggs benedict and it was very good with homemade ketchup for the hash browns. wow! that was a nice treat. my husband had the fish and chips and then the four of us had two blueberry crumbles with homemade ice cream and homemade whipped cream a decadent way to finish off a fabulous lunch. thank you so much and we will be back
Good Timin'
Sad to say this place has gone downhill. Used to be a great spot (like in the 90s) but it's just bad now. Bad service, bad food. The atmosphere is till nice, great location and decor and vibe. And that's what they seem to be coasting on. That and also the location. Anyway, just go to Sugarbowl instead, food much better there. At $30 each, our party of 8 just all decided we won't be back. Sad.

I had the huevos rancheros. The egg sat on a bed of rice with tortillas. The salsa was thick very unappetizing! I hardly ate anything and the waiter never enquired if there was anything wrong. The owner and servers are focused on getting people seated. The place was over crowded! No idea why this place is so popular other than it has been there for years! I

Ahhhhhhh Thomas was so lovely!!! Such a sweet employee, amazing food recommendations. The atmosphere was so warm, cozy, and authentic yet sheek. Good for a dinner date, or coffee get-together. Will go back again for that salmon 🤤
