Cheesecake French Toast

Very friendly staff was quick to get us seated even while restaurant was busy. The food was sooo good! We had been too busy in the morning to eat breakfast but we had still wanted to get something breakfast-like at noon. We decided to give Abe's a try and were happy to have found that they still served their breakfast menu all the way to 2pm! We had gotten and shared both Cheesecake French Toast (with plenty of blueberries/ compote) $16 as well as a half-order of Quebec Poutine $7!! (Date of Prices: 03 May 2022)

Abe's Breakfast Club
Raymond M.

If Abe were working behind the counter and the place was adorned with authentic memorabilia from Abe's many adventures, I may give it a five after just one visit. While the food is excellent and well priced and the service is prompt and friendly, to me the place has a slight feel of a formulaic feel orchestrated by a downtown marketing company. For that, Abe will have to work a bit harder for my Five, but he's well in his way with the Breakfast Club. A moderate portion at $7.75, it's nice not to be forced to spend $12 for breakfast and get more food than I can handle. You can order take out from an app on your phone and free coffee on the weekends. A modern day take on the traditional diner, Abe's is definitely worth checking out.

Grilled cheese on naan with chipolte Caesar salad.. $9 something.

Coming here, I really didn't know what to expect. A diner in Airdrie, worth the drive from Calgary? Yes! We arrived for breakfast at 10:30, but all 4 of us ended ordering from the regular menu because there were so many delicious options! I ordered the grilled cheese on naan bread with chipolte Caesar salad and I was in heaven! My SO had the skirt steak sandwich and after his first bite, with his mouth full he said "Oh my god this is so good!". A friend had the mud head burger, which looked like it might have had too much bread for the amount of meat. The service here is FAST! You order at the counter, and we had our food in less than 10 minutes. Friendly staff who can recommend different dishes for you try if you're unsure. And I see they do online ordering and deliveries for locals! Luck people of Airdrie! For me, I just look forward to the next time I'm in Calgary. This is the perfect stop either on the way home or on the way in from Edmonton.

Fries

We ordered in from Abe's after seeing many great reviews. We like to support our local businesses often so this seemed like a good choice for dinner. As we were both also craving a burger. First impression was good! I had the Texas BBQ burger and it was a generous size! The bbq sauce was delicious and it had a slight zing from the spicy mayo but nothing too crazy! Hubby had the Mudhead burger. I didn't get a chance to snap a pic of it before he dove in! This thing was smothered in mushroom peppercorn sauce and boy was it big! If you want a "sloppy joe" type burger, this is for you! The gravy was delicious and there was lots leftover to dip our fries! Overall great, unique burgers! Did I mention mine had onion rings on it?!

My husband heard about this place on cbc radio so we went to check it out and we're glad we did! They offer unique items such as the naan bread grilled cheese (which I tried) and really enjoyed. My husband had their award winning burger which he right was big - and he's a big eater. But I think my friends steak burger took the cake. For me, the only thing I wild change is if they could make their in naan. A fluffy naan buttery naan would taste amazing! Clean friendly and delicious. I would go back.

Dear God, When I…read morepass through the pearly gates, please make sure this BLT is waiting for me, but with like, twice the hashbrowns. If you can make this happen during my century or so in purgatory, that would be most appreciated. Actually, do you think this sandwich would travel well? Could I Skip this home? Does Uber Eats deliver from Airdrie? These are all genuine thoughts as I demolished this sandwich this morning. After a truly mediocre dinner out the night before, a dear friend brought me to Jam's this morning. A few key points: 1. I know I mentioned the BLT but literally everything else that we ordered (Benny, GF Pancakes and Chicken) looked stellar. Food quality 10/10 2. Dude ferments his own black garlic and puts it in the hashbrowns. You can buy the garlic at their little grocery too. I would have done that but I'm not sure it would have been a good suitcase companion! Seems like the sausage might be home made too. 3. Service was super busy but we weren't in a hurry. This was definitely a sit, chat, chill, eat experience. 4. Totally unassuming outside, packed with charm inside. Great little ambience. 5. I am calling this destination brunch. Make the trip, sit, eat, and enjoy. They were on top of the coffee pot too :) So, go to Jam's. **This post brought to you buy a "Yelp Elite" - thanks for serving up a stellar brunch, my man. I'll be back!**

Decided to stop for lunch after reading fairly good reviews. Unfortunately it was not. Small…read moreseating area with about a dozen tables was almost full. One very pleasant waitress and what appeared to be 3 kitchen staff. Our order of a BLT and 1/2 eggs bennie took almost an hour to arrive, we were just about to get up and leave. The blt had so much mayo it initially looked like an egg had been add to the sandwich because of the thick white strip on the outside of the bread. Once that was scraped off the bacon was delicious. The bennie was awful and sent back. The egg was cold, the hollandaise was cold, the avocado was brown and the hashbrown patty was almost black. The waitress kept trying to justify the condition of the food, I finally said I would not eat this at home so why would I eat it here? The bennie was removed from the bill however she acted like it was a huge favor not to pay for awful food. Even IF the food had been wonderful the prices were on the high side. Definitely would not recommend.
