Albert's Bistro Family Restaurant

Great food and great service. The place is small and busy.

Very good Greek food, a great alternative to all the pizza joints in Brandon. Friendly staff, lots of locals enjoying the roast beef. Large portions, we shared a special.

Great service in a friendly atmosphere, old style diner like setting with surprisingly exceptional food. Roast beef was fine dining quality.

We've always wanted to eat here, but we've never had the opportunity till today. On the outside, you'd never expect that this place would amount to much, but as soon as you step in the doors, it feels very comfortable and inviting. I told my wife once we'd sat down that it looked & smelt like we were at my Gramma's house, lol. The food was absolutely amazing! Incredible flavor & great portion size. I had the BBQ ribs, baked potato & mixed veggies. My wife had salmon with lemon roasted potatoes & mixed veggies. We both had the soup of the day. This place is hands down one of the best restaurants in Brandon. That's saying alot, cuz there are ALOT of restaurants in Brandon. It's definitely a hidden gem! We will be back again.
*side note; it didn't necessarily seem like a kids restaurant, tho. But it could have just been the time of day.

Fantastic food! Large portions! One of my favorite places to eat!

Excellent prime rib

Recommended by the motel, great roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. Well worth a visit.

We are so disappointed in this dining experience that we were looking forward to. Besides no ambience on the outside dining area, the service was fair, and the food was not worth the hype or reviews.
The Caesar Salad side had commercial mini croutons and bacon bits out of a bag. My Greek Salad had plenty of fresh veggies, however the dressing was flat tasting, no anchovie or Greek pepperocini included. Both were up charged extra.
The Pickerel dinner was not seasoned at all, the lemon potatoes were cold and lacked flavor, and the veggies were a frozen commercial blend ,added boiled cabbage didn't improve them.
My Princess cut Prime Rib was served with a foil wrapped baked potato, a cold Yorkshire Pudding, store bought gravy, not fresh Au Jus, and the house frozen veg blend! Thanks for the horseradish on the side! The glass of house red wine was the only Canadian wine on the menu, great portion, high priced though.
I looked forward to this meal, my birthday, and didn't expect such a mediocre meal at premium prices.
We will never be back!

Excellent food and service.

Right off the highway, we had prime rib and chicken souvlaki, both were excellent!

Pecan pie was disappointing, but the cheesecake was fabulous!

Dated decor, but friendly service.

This place was abysmal most likely due to their busy timing. It looked cute and charming, heard great recommendation from my college class supervisor. From a glance at their menu and claim to fame
"Prime rib available every day". I was expecting much more of their service to be friendly and helpful. Their food to be of a good standard. Some key points of their mistakes towards mv meal and service: 1. Their greeting at the from door was non existent. I had called ahead earlier in the day for a reservation, and when we arrived, we stood around for 40 minutes. Not a single: “Hi we’re quite busy and the wait time is…”
2. Our reservation was not even written down or mentioned to anyone. This group of nice people that arrived for Albert’s Bistro were immediately greeted and asked if they were reserved. Without a single mention to any of us until we walked forward and mentioned we were reserved and waited there for so long, and felt such a rude and embarrassing moment to be seated after when our reservation was meant to be earlier.
3. When we were sat, we had a terrible wait time again.
4. My order for prime rib was then cancelled as they had zero cuts of prime rib.
5. Replaced the order with a different entree, but my sides were then wrong.
6. The food seemed like frozen groceries, a very basic and terrible ingredients for how they’re trying to express themselves as local, fair and reasonably priced.
7. They had the policy to not waive anything. Yet have a lot of audacity to say: “Albert’s doesn’t do discounts” they did offer me an item off the dessert’s menu at the very least but I was not satisfied with that outcome as It was an item I would not even want at the end of my meal.
8. The few guests ahead of me had complained the food was not good at the price they were asking and decided not to tip their server. Obviously very overworked and overbooked and they could not handle this day
9. The food arrived terribly did not taste good, and so I unfortunately asked the manager to just walk out without paying which I was not proud of. They phoned Albert and allowed me to leave after a such an excessive amount of issues.

Hard to understand the good ratings. Long wait for service - very overworked staff. Wrong wine served - label did not match the menu. Food mediocre for this price. Definitely frozen vegetables. Hoped for home made, think we got frozen reheat. This is a road house pretending to be fine dining.

Don’t let the looks or location fool you, this place was fantastic. Dropped by for lunch, first time. Ordered the princess prime rib special. Portion was huge for $26. Came with small soup and fries. Wife had the Greek special. Service was fast and friendly. Definitely recommend.

The souvlaki was dry and the vegetables were overcooked. The flavours were good, but Not worth the price.
