Denver omelette
Cyn D.

My previous review stands. All still good, service, food and prices. I went today with a party of 6 and they found room for us at 1pm on a Sunday. My table tried the steak, the French toast, turkey sandwich smothered in gravy, omelette and 2 eggs. Every plate was clean at the end. I say thank goodness we have vintage places like this in Edmonton. These are the places that give us character.

Mushroom and cheddar omelette with hashbrowns and bacon
Dee L.

This place is in seemingly tucked away in plain sight downtown. I stopped in for brunch one day off and was pleasantly surprised. The charming atmosphere and pleasant waitress made the whole experience exactly what I was looking for... a good "greasy spoon" brekkie that doesn't break the bank. I had a mushroom and cheddar omelet, hashbrowns and a side of bacon. It came with a side of rye toast. The order came out super quickly and a generous portion. The bacon had a bit of a strong flavour but came out perfectly cooked. I would definitely mosy over to this place again.

If you haven't been before, it's a throwback to old school diners. An institution really as it's been open since 1942! Prices are ridiculously cheap. The inside is very diner-esque with old school stools and tables to sit at. We came on a Wednesday for dinner. There's also a lot of specials to choose from. Breakfast specials go till 11:00am. There's Chinese dishes on the menu...let that sink in for a bit. Our waitress was great. She's one of those servers that's been working in the industry forever; old, charming and genuine. - Homemade soup - like a minestrone soup minus the pasta/rice. Good enough to whet our appetite. - Egg roll, sweet and sour ribs and chicken fried rice ($8.75) - the fried rice tasted like they didn't use a wok to cook it? The egg roll was actually better than expected - massive but crispy and a good filling. The sweet and sour ribs were decent. - Breaded pork cutlets ($8.75) - mushroom sauce was good and we liked how it was lightly breaded. Litaly was a big fan of the side of coleslaw. It was a little more tangy than other ones. The mashed potato was sadly bland. - Fried sole fillet with lemon ($8.50) - fillet was fried nicely but desperately needed some sort of sauce. The lemon didn't add much. The fries were the better option over the mashed potatoes (your two choices). They came out hot and crispy. - Strawberry rhubarb pie and blueberry pie ($2.95 each) - okay, on to the pies! This was definitely the best part of our meal. Our waitress added a generous scoop of ice cream to both and warmed them up. The blueberry tasted like the real thing and was my favourite of the two. The strawberry rhubarb was much sweeter. Cash only. Not sure if I'll be running back but if I want something dirt cheap downtown, you could do worse. Maybe I'll come try their breakfast next.

$9.75 for bacon, ham or sausage + eggs, potatoes, toast & unlimited coffee.

Super friendly, comforting and cozy. I've been going here since I moved to Edmonton and it's always been an inviting little gem. This family run business is definitely doing it right. Was cash only until recently, but no longer! Youou can now use credit and debit too. Prices have gone up since I was here last, but still an inexpensive meal (just not as cheap as it was). I like the simple diner menu with Chinese options to boot.

Divine dive.

The Commodore is as stark and plain as greasy spoon diners come - it's apparent lack of character is what gives it its character. If I didnt' know it were 2008, inside the Commodore I might not be able to tell what year it was, unless I picked up a newspaper or a particularly fashionable person happened to be dining there. It's got tables and chairs, chrome and green vinyl stools at a bar counter, and the specials posted up on the wall. Coffee's $1.25 and refills are 25 cents. Two eggs, toast and hashbrowns are $3.25. It's been around 50 plus years and the servers are casual, friendly and fast on their toes. No surprise lots of regulars were here, flipping the pages of the Sun and drinking refill after refill. You can get a milkshake here for three dollars and change, a glass of juice for $1.25, Toast with jam for $1.50 and there are a bunch of hot meal specials for under $8. The Commie's a fixture in E-town that's seen it grow and change, without changing much itself. But old-fashioned diners aren't supposed to. Cash only - just like in the olden days;)

Single seating at the bar

Great little breakfast place! Surprised I didn't know about this until now. Apparently it's been here a long time. Popped in for breakfast before 9am and it wasn't too busy. Free parking on the street at meters before 9. Cash only so grab some coin. Had the ham and eggs, was great. I think you get good value for $7.50. Nothing fancy but friendly service and old school diner grub. I saw the whole menu and this place looks like it might be great for some comfort food lunch and dinner as well.

We come every week because the food is amazing and it's affordable for students.

See all

Rockin' Robyn's Diner - Bacon burger, pan fries and chubby checker

Rockin' Robyn's Diner

Looking for a diner experience with top notch food and a lot of it for a fair price? You just…read moredescribed Rockin' Robyn's to a T! We would go back in a heartbeat, just need to sleep off the food coma for a while. It's bright and airy in spite of the smallish space and the amount of booths and tables, oh and you can sit at the counter. The walls and ceiling are covered in memorabilia, concert banners and what not. The place was absolutely hopping at 12:45 PM, but we were sat in a booth right away. Waters dropped moments later, asked if we needed coffee, tea or whatever else you wanted to drink. Our server was fantastic, explaining and educating us as we were first timers. The food came out piping hot very quickly and our tea ordered after the food was dropped came in a large teapot and hot just like at home. The clubhouse, which I did not have, has house made ham and turkey according to our server. My corn beef had slices of corn beef that did not taste house made, but the sheer volume of meat I couldn't finish, the eggs were cooked perfectly. K's Mexicasa omelette was excellent with the Mexican meat the star. I know why the place is consistently full, it's that good. Definite redo when back in West Edmonton

We came here on a holiday Monday after an hour and a half hike in cool fall weather. We wanted…read moresomething comforting and filling and our breakfasts hit the spot. The corned beef has had mashed potatoes which is different from what I'm used to but it was tasty nonetheless. My husband substituted the pancakes in his meal for pan fried potatoes. The place was super busy even though it was around 2pm and was still packed when we left. They seated us quickly as we were willing to sit at a table but we could've waited for a booth. The servers were friendly and fast which was perfect for us as I needed to get to an appointment. It's a relatively small restaurant with many patrons. It's definitely got that old diner vibe which is always fun once in a while. If you're looking for a solid, traditional diner experience, you can't for wrong with Rockin' Robyn's.

I love their cinnamon buns but this time I did not order one. My friend and I came here for supper. It was delicous. I had the Red Curry Laksa with prawns, PEI mussels, bok choy, carrots, bell peppers, red onions, vermicelli noodles, red coconut curry sauce, and cilantro. My friend had the falafel and fries. I loved my Red Curry Laksa. It was fresh and rich. Loved the red coconut curry sauce. The seafood was a decent portion. My friend liked her falafal but it definately wasn't the best she has had and was eyeing up my curry. Service was OK. I feel like because we didn't order alcoholic beverages, we didn't get service as much as the tables that did. That won't prevent me from coming here again.

Both were so very tasty, and did not disappoint. The ambiance of the restaurant is different than many places I've gone to. Being close to the University of Alberta main campus, many young students compose the clientele of Sugarbowl, but not limited to. The decor is very nice - brick walls and posters, and hand written beer menu, to name a few. Service was very good, professional, and friendly!! Overall good experience, and will return again in the future.
