We go here at least once a month or more when we hit Costco. Great breakfast and lunch but make sure you book ahead and use yelp other you'll have a long wait on the weekends. I usually have the Elvis breakfast or the Monroe. Lots of food. Love their potatoes. You do have to pay for water otherwise it would be a five. Cannot complain about the quality of food or service. read more

Place is super cute and service is awesome! We won't over the weekend and it got very busy, very quickly. We got their pulled pork benny & mac n cheese benny with perogies on the side. Portions are huge! Liked the maple flavors incorporated into the pulled pork. The mac n cheese wasn't great and the perogies werent as warm as I'd like :( Overall, the food was ok. read more

Walked in for breakfast not 5 mins ago and was just greeted then told to hold and left standing until another server came up to seat us while she helped the person on the phone. When did someone on the phone take priority over patrons who take the time to come in to eat. Also watched a server put deodorant on in the service area and not wash her hands after? Shouldn't that be done in the washroom? Will be the last time we ever eat here. read more

The food is amazing and they're not messing around with portion sizes. I ordered the Benny's Breakfast Bowl (with pierogies) and let me tell you, I am in a serious food coma now. The coffee there is pretty good. Not the best, not the worst, it's solidly in the middle. Expect to wait a while for a table, this place is small and popular. Pro tip, use the Yelp app to get a place in line before you get there. read more

Awesome service staff was helpful and polite, and great selection of eggs Benny combinations and numerous other choices if EB isn't your thing. A very unique atmosphere upon entering if you are looking for retro conversation starters and antiques. read more

Very nice. Fast, fresh, tasty food (we had a breakfast burrito and an omelette and enjoyed both), and good service. Thumbs up.

Chose this resto due to amazing reviews. The virtual queuing system was easy and we were seated at the promised time. Menu is extensive and very "diner" which we love. Too bad we waited over an hour for the food. Apparently a technical problem with the POS didn't print the ticket in the kitchen _ odd no one else had that glitch. The server forgot to punch our order, it was only when the owner noticed us sitting without food for so long that she even came by to apologize and give the excuse. Once received the food was amazing. If we go back, I'll know to speak up earlier if there's too long a delay. read more

Really great food, vibe and service. Unsure why they use so many plastic / single use containers, spoons, stir sticks and only paid for bottled water - seems a bit wasteful - other than that it was great! Highly recommend! read more

Neat 50's theme restaurant. Had the west coast Benny (smoked salmon) was excellent but found the hollandaise sauce to be salty. Served on a warped plate that tended to "dance around" but was quickly replaced. Pricey but worth a try. read more

Nice atmosphere and good food. Loved the milkshakes and the coffee in particular. I recommend it! read more

This place make you feel like your on a movie set but the food makes you think your in heaven we Got seated fast and served even faster, with the choices you have it hard to pick just one things and reasonably priced read more

I usually love when I go to Bennys until I had something wrong with my order. The meal I got tasted very off and so I asked for a replacement. They do not offer replacements and they make you pay for the meal even if you had one bite and it tasted bad. read more

We are regulars here Every time we are greeted and warmly welcomed The food is great Always fresh ! We believe in supporting Local ! read more

I like this place it has a funky '50s vibe. The food is really nice, creative and well presented. The staff are quick and attentive. They have gluten free pancakes and waffles. I have eaten here 6 times for breakfast, always week days. It is busy but not jammed. They give you a thermos of coffee (it's usually decent but on my last visit it was bitter). I will return many times again. read more

First time today and we loved it. The food was really good and the staff were very attentive. The classic eggs Benny was Good coffee and lots of it. Very surprised and very happy. We will go again. read more

I love eggs benedict and thought I would give this place a try. I wanted to love it, it's close to me, love new breakfast places but it was uninspired. I don't think any sauces are made fresh, everything tasted greasy and salty. It's a step up from a Denny's, but not a big step. read more

I got to grab breakfast here on the way back to Edmonton, and I can say that I left full and moderately satisfied. Its an adorable restaurant with an old vintage theme. I really appreciated the decorations of the restaurant, it was super enjoyable to look at. I honestly gave an extra star because of the fact that I got to sit in the Elvis section and couldn't have been happier. As far as the food goes it was swaying around average. They have a decently big menu and there's a fair bit to choose from, especially the eggs ebnnedict. I ordered the chicken and waffles eggs benny with a peach tea. The fruit on the side was really fresh and the tea was delicious! I also really enjoyed the waffles, they were very cinnamon-y and real talk.. they were the best waffles I've had! Soft and flavorful - they were great! As far as the chicken, I would bet my bottom dollar it was from frozen. I won't complain too much because the rest of the dish was fine, but the chicken was truly lacking unfortunately. It certainly wasn't what I was expecting at all - they were dry, store-bought style chicken fingers. The potatoes though we're well seasoned and soft, a little overdone but I like them that way. The service was great, our waitress was very perky and attentative. It was a little pricier than I would have expected for the quality of the food but nothing too crazy. Next time I'm in Calgary I will most likely be trying out a new breakfast place but I wouldn't completely discourage you from trying it out. If you're a huge Elvis fan like I am, it might just be worth it to sit in the booth next to his albums! read more

Such a great spot - especially celiac friendly! The gluten free waffles were delicious!

A bit pricey, but food is good, I'm especially impressed that nearly everything on the menu can be gluten free! The burger my husband order was really thick and juicy. They don't cut back! The retro decor is what really makes this place a gem though, you feel like you've traveled back in time. The place was busy when we went last (pre-Covid) you could tell the place was really popular. I would definitely go back. read more

Awesome old school breakfast spot! Highly recommend! The eggs Benedict are fantastic, and the coffee always hot read more

First of all... this is the kind of place you WANT to love. The atmosphere is great. The food is really good. The staff are friendly. In fact, it's one of my favorite breakfast places! But... The owner obviously sees themselves as a conservative freedumb fighter. There are anti-vaxx news clippings posted at the front entry. They obviously hate Trudeau (but really...who doesn't, amiright?!). Seriously leave your politics at the door. I'm hoping their staff don't have the same hang ups the owner seems to have. They also do some weird things like bottled water? Pretty wasteful. And ketchup packs? The coffee isn't great. Anyway, all is good there if you can see your way past the owner's sad attempts at social commentary... read more

Food & service was excellent. Some waitress with masks most not masked. Cooks not masked. Many patrons moving around unmasked. Masking bylaw sign at front entrance why I'm not sure bc they weren't enforcing it. Restaurants wonder why they are getting shut down. Still a bylaw until March 1!! ‍ read more

I would like to thank Bennys for taking my last review into consideration and readded the option of english muffins for the eggs bennys again! Im beyond thrilled to have my fav breakfast place back to its high quality self and am counting the seconds till I can go enjoy a meal. read more

A modern take on a classic diner. Put away the greasy spoon and call your goody friends. The eggs benny were amazing and the benny burger is large and in charge. Will definitely be back. read more

This is an enjoyable "blast from the past" place to appreciate a great breakfast in an atmosphere that brings back happy memories. The service and food was great! To bring an even more immersed experience would be to have the staff dress in attire to match the decor and ambience. We'll totally be back again! read more

I'm pretty outspoken, as the manager at this location found out this morning, and it's my experience that most decent managers appreciate constructive feedback. That's what I had in mind when I asked our waitress to send him by our table. Me: We've got it all sorted out now, but I did want to just let you know that we had a reservation for eight and they seated us at a table for four. Our waitress claimed it was a six top but I'm sure she must be mistaken since we can all clearly see with our eyes that these booths would only comfortably seat four people. He: We don't take reservations.* Me: I see, well, when we came in I told the gentleman at the front--- He: That was me. Me: ---yeah, I thought so. So I had told him that we had a reservation--- He: attempts to interrupt me again Me: ---sorry, just reclaiming my time, the time to correct me on that point would have been then, not now when I've brought up a totally different issue. But you accommodated us anyway and that's great! AGAIN I am just wanting to let you know for Next Time that the four person table for a party of eight isn't acceptable. *Yes, absolutely, I was mistaken. I was told that a reservation was in place when in fact we were placed on the wait list ahead of time over Yelp. This doesn't affect anything at all but everyone who hears this story somehow gets hung up on this detail. Anyway... Friends, the manager of this establishment tried to ARGUE WITH ME. Hand to God he tried to argue with me as though I was there to hear his explanations and not to eat my breakfast. This man was given every opportunity to gracefully end the conversation and he's standing here like, 'Well, FIRST of all,' Me: Sorry. Again, just reclaiming my time--- "Oh, you're not done talking," he muttered under his breath (curling his lip and all, I kid you not) which prompted one of my dining companions to intervene on my behalf. By this point manager boy's body language and behaviour was well out of line, obviously, so I find myself in the position of trying to de-escalate an arguement! With management!! At a breakfast establishment!!! At 9:45AM!!!! Incredible. Me: All I'm trying to say is that I wanted to leave this feedback for next time--- Oh, but it was useless. By now the guy was in full defensive mode. "I didn't say anything! I wasn't being disrespectful! If you're not happy then you can leave!" I actually hadn't decided we were leaving up until that moment, despite his bizarre decision to escalate the situation, but it was then that I realized he was more interested in saving face than doing his job or, for that matter, prioritizing the salvaging of a rapidly devolving situation. I just gave up at that point. Besides, I don't like when people I'm trying to have a grownup talk with make snips at me. As I explained to him, he had every bit of power and agency to turn the experience into a positive one for everybody. I wasn't gunning for a comp, I just wanted a simple acknowledgement of my experience and no fights before 10AM. This dude could do with learning the value of the simple phrase, "I hear you. We'll keep that in mind in the future." Even if you aren't a very good manager you could at least make a habit of being civil to your customers. Anyway, Denny's got us in right away. They just pushed two tables together. read more

Very disappointing, not only did we wait over 40 minutes for a table. I ordered a hot chocolate that tastes like warm water with some whip cream mixed in, I got a classic eggs benedict ( and by the name Benny's) I expected this to be what they were known for it was awful, I only could eat half before I stopped, the hashbrowns were the only saving grace even though they were extremely salty. I wouldn't come back again. read more

Bennys Breakfast Bar - Worst Hot Chocolate Ever!!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

They have an aggressive anti lockdown/restriction poster on the door, food made me feel more hungover, man on the phone was really nice and friendly and helpful but server was lowkey kinda rude. Would not recommend the French toast. I hate to leave a bad review especially during the pandemic but I will not be supporting this business due to their stance on COVID-19 and the mediocre food. read more

Loooove this place. They have lots of gluten free options and the food is always fantastic.

This is my favourite Breakfast joint in Calgary. Awesome vibe once you walk in. Lots of cool cars and memorabilia on the walls. Food itself is great. Prices are on par with what you see at other breakfast places. I'd much rather go here than any fancy OEB overpriced gourmet style places. I've brought multiple people here over the years and haven't been disappointed. read more

So I've been a couple times recently , the staff and the food have been amazing. The one star is for their blatant disregard for public safety during a pandemic. I sincerely hope they last through this. I don't envy business owners during this, but flaunting public emergency orders is just trashy. read more

Amazing place, absolutely love it. amazing service, and the best eggs benny. Not a bunch of mask nazis either, it's a choice there, which I absolutely love. I hope they get their liquor license too, because I love a baileys and coffee with my breakfast! read more

Delicious food, very friendly people, great music and atmosphere. The Mac and cheese are very cheesy and the kids loved the hit chocolate too read more

Placed an order on their website. Waited for 20 minutes and got a phone call from Chownow, the online ordering company, says the restaurant is not responding so they have to cancel the order; so basically wasted 20 mins plus the time placing the order and now I still need to run to somewhere for breakfast. read more

First time here. Thought it would be a good place to stop in for breakfast. Unfortunately the host, who seems like the owner, let us sit and wait to be seated while he had 5 open spots at the bar. When asked if we could sit there he replied "those are for singles". When we were finally sat those same five spots remained open. In any restaurant I have worked at it was priority to get folks sat as each seat represents an opportunity to make a living and keep your customers happy. After all it was just two of us... not sure how many solo patrons he was expecting. Started out on the wrong foot. Breakfast was slightly above average but not worth the wait. Took a very long time to get the bill too. Definitely not coming back. read more

Great breakfast place in YYC. Try the eggs Benedict...to die for. Great location and ambience too.

We went and enjoyed the eggs Benedict, i got the traditional with the hash poutine, the poutine was very peppery but good, the eggs benny was fantastic as always, my wife got the Monte cristo benny, it was loaded! She had to take some home, but all in all was very great food had to wait 30mins just to get in and when we did it was very very hot to the point where it was uncomfortable but for breakfast this is the place to be! read more

Consistently the best breakfast food and service I've ever experienced. Too notch in every way...

I have been here a handful of times now. I love the classic diner style. I never wait too long to get a table. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The menu has lots to choose from, with some unusual choices as well, which I personally enjoy the variety of options. Eggs Benedict is my favorite breakfast meal, and that is obviously their specialty. I highly recommend this place! read more
